Chapter 14: I was too tired last night

'How long has it been since the word "apologize" appeared in my world?' Yin Qianchen thought.

Yin Qianchen could barely remember.

He was about three or four and his mother was still by his side. 'What did I do wrong to be asked to apologize?'

He had never done anything wrong. He had to be right, even if it was his fault.

However, Liang Yunsheng, asking him to apologize, with a red face, he felt a pang in his heart.

"What do you want?"

This was the meekest thing that Yin Qianchen could say.

"An apology. I want you to be sorry!"

Liang Yunsheng waited for Yin Qianchen to speak. However, it was clear he would rather just stare at her than he would apologize.

"How about we change expression?"

Liang Yunsheng touched her chin and said, "how about you smile sincerely and from the bottom of your heart?"

'This request...' Yin Qianchen thought to himself.

He was stunned by her words.

...

The silence continued.

"You're done laughing?" Yin Qianchen said impatiently.

"Your face didn't even twitch!"

'Laugh? Smile? How do I make the expression from the bottom of my heart?' he thought.

It was funny. Liang Yunsheng had crossed his line time and time again. Yin Qianchen really laughed in his heart.

Had anyone else who talked to him like that, had asked him to apologize, to smile, their situation would end up worse than Sheng Nuo's.

"Go home!" Yin Qianchen told Liang Yunsheng, grabbing her wrist and turning her around.

"Go home?" Liang Yunsheng staggered. "Didn't you say that An Ziming would pick me up?"

"I'm not in the mood to stay here any longer," Yin Qianchen said with a sigh.

"Yunsheng, Yunsheng!"

You Siyue ran up behind Yin Qianchen. "Today is my birthday."

Only then did it all click in Liang Yunsheng's head. That the birthday banquet was prepared for You Siyue.

This was the supposed upper-class and prestigious family. Liang Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh to herself.

"Happy Birthday..." Liang Yunsheng revealed a big smile. Before she could finish her words, however, she was pulled away by Yin Qianchen.

You Siyue remained rooted in place, watching as Liang Yunsheng and Yin Qianchen left. "Thank you," he said quietly, "I hope we can meet again."

The night might as well have been any other night for Yin Qianchen. For Liang Yunsheng, however, it was a huge adventure.

In sleep, she began dreaming. A very particular, strange, dream. A little scary but also beautiful.

Liang Yunsheng wielded a long, red sword and defeated the ice-faced Qianchen Dragon. She took him as her mount and rode him to dominate the world, beating up the villains who had bullied her.

"Little Chen did well!" Liang Yunsheng lowered her head, touching Qianchen's to her own.

She couldn't help but laugh.

Then she woke up.

It was strange. Hao Cheng did not remind her to wake up.

The housekeeper always paid the most attention to her work and rest.

After washing up, Liang Yunsheng went downstairs.

"Sir said that you were too tired after last night, so he let you sleep a little longer." Hao Chen said with an odd laugh. He had already prepared breakfast for her.

"Please don't laugh so weirdly. You make it sound like a bad thing!" Liang Yunsheng shuddered and crossed her arms.

But the key thing was...

"Is Yin Qianchen home?"

Without waiting for Hao Cheng to answer, Yin Qianchen moved up to the dining table and pulled out a chair.

"What? You don't want me to be at home?" Yin Qianchen said from the end of the table. He picked up his knife and fork and slowly raised his eyes. "We really need to settle the matter about last night. We will punish those who deserve punishment."
