Chapter 49 What Should I Do If Nian Jinsui Is Angry With Me?

Qin Chengyu didn’t respond. 

At this moment, the dining hall was eerily silent. 

Butler Liu and the servants, sensing the unusual tension, kept their heads down, 

focusing on nothing but their own breathing, not daring to make a sound.

Qin Chengyu was well aware that Qin Cheng luo harbored ill intentions and that he might even resort to violence. 

But that was precisely what he needed.

Before Ning Liang’an appeared, Qin Chengyu was the closest person to Nian Jinsui.

But recently, he had been watching Nian Jin sui grow closer to Ning Liang an, chatting with him frequently and even telling him jokes.

Ning Liang’an was lively and cheerful, while Qin Chengyu was gloomy and reserved. 

Of course, Nian Jinsui would prefer to spend time with Ning Liang an. 

This realization left Qin Chengyu with an inexplicable feeling of displeasure, perhaps a sense of crisis or jealousy. 

In any case, Qin Chengyu wanted to reclaim Nian Jinsui’s attention.

He recalled that Nian Jinsui’s sudden concern for Ning Liang’an stemmed from the day he witnessed Ye Kang bullying him.

Perhaps Nian Jinsui simply sympathized with Ning Liang’an, much like the pity Qin Chengyu had once seen in Nian Jinsui’s eyes when looking at him.

But it didn’t matter whether it was pity or sympathy. 

He didn’t care about those things.

As long as Nian Jin sui looked at him.

With that thought, Qin Chengyu came up with an idea: 

he planned to replicate the situation.

It just so happened that Qin Cheng luo came knocking today.

Qin Cheng yu understood Qin Cheng luo well enough to know exactly how to provoke him into a rage, just as he had done in the Qin family before.

Due to his glandular defect, Qin Cheng luo was inherently irritable and quick to anger. 

But for the sake of securing the Qin family’s inheritance, he always acted mature and composed in front of Qin Zhuo.

However, Qin Chengyu refused to let him have his way. 

He wanted to push Qin Chengluo to lose control and reveal his violent, brutal nature.

Qin Chengyu knew that being submissive and deferential to Qin Chengluo and Qin Muyun might make life easier for him.

But he had never liked bowing and scraping.

He preferred mutual destruction.

Of course, Qin Chengyu also considered the possibility that Nian Jinsui might not come to his rescue today. 

That outcome, too, was within his calculations.

If that happened, it would make things even easier to handle.

Qin Chengyu could lock away those chaotic, distracting emotions and revert to being the cold and indifferent person he used to be.

Fortunately, Nian Jin sui did come. 

However, an unexpected development occurred.

Qin Cheng yu hadn’t anticipated Nian Jin sui entering his heat cycle today, 

nearly causing the entire plan to backfire.

Thankfully, everything was resolved without incident.

His plan succeeded, and Nian Jinsui became closer to him.

But what Qin Chengyu didn’t expect was for Nian Jinsui’s next words to utterly shatter his defenses.

"Qin Chengyu, I’m very disappointed in you!" 

Nian Jinsui said coldly, his face full of anger. 

"I don’t care how things were for you in the Qin family, but now you’re in the Nian family! As long as you don’t go, Qin Cheng luo can’t do anything to you!"

Qin Chengyu froze, his mouth opening slightly as if to explain, but no words came out.

After a pause, Nian Jinsui’s tone softened with a hint of sadness. 

"By throwing yourself into situations to be bullied, you’re not only hurting yourself but also making those who care about you feel bad…"

Qin Chengyu was stunned. 

No one had ever said anything like this to him before.

Nian Jin sui, who had been speaking in anger, finally realized that Butler Liu and the servants were still present. 

Scolding Qin Chengyu in front of them felt inappropriate.

Reining in his tone, he said, 

"I’ve finished eating, so I’ll head back to my room. Chengyu, come upstairs when you’re done."

As Nian Jin sui stood, Qin Chengyu also got up, following him out of the dining hall. 

Butler Liu and the servants finally exhaled in relief.

"Butler Liu, the young master’s temper has improved a lot. It’s been a long time since he’s gotten this angry. I bet Qin Chengyu is in for it now."

Butler Liu, however, disagreed. 

"The young master specifically told Qin Chengyu to finish his meal before coming upstairs. That shows he still cares about him."

"Butler Liu, what do you think of Qin Chengyu as a person?"

After a moment of thought, Butler Liu replied, 

"Qin Chengyu is usually quiet and rarely shows emotion. People like him are hard to read, but he’s definitely someone who won’t bend easily."

The servant shook their head in disagreement, giggling. 

"Butler Liu, you’ve got it wrong. I think Qin Chengyu is definitely into the young master. He’s totally smitten and won’t ever straighten out!"

Butler Liu: "??? That’s not what ‘won’t bend’ means! Go read a book if you’re this ignorant!"

Servant: "No" while giggling now.

Earlier, Nian Jin sui had spoken in anger, but now, back in his room, 

he thought things over and realized he couldn’t entirely blame Qin Chengyu.

Even though Qin Cheng yu was now protected by the Nian family, 

he had been bullied by Qin Cheng luo for so long that he probably acted out of habit, reflexively submitting.

Thinking about the humiliation and harm Qin Chengyu suffered in the private room made it even harder for Nian Jin sui to be upset with him.

He must already be feeling terrible, and Nian Jinsui had been so harsh.

At that moment, Xilü’s friendly reminder interrupted Nian Jinsui’s thoughts.

[Friendly Reminder: The host’s current harm score toward Qin Chengyu is 40 points, with 30 points for physical harm and 10 for psychological harm. Please keep up the good work.]

Nian Jinsui was puzzled. He understood the increase in psychological harm—it must have been because of his scolding earlier. But why had the physical harm score risen?

"Xilü, didn’t you say earlier in the car that physical harm was at 25 points? How did it increase by 5 points in such a short time? Nothing has happened since then."

[The system’s evaluation is comprehensive and does not provide explanations or entertain questions.]

"Fine, fine, you win."

Just then, Qin Chengyu entered the room. 

Dropping the subject, Nian Jinsui looked up at him from the sofa.

"Let me see your hand," 

he said, breaking the silence.

Qin Chengyu instinctively curled his fingers. 

"My hand is fine."

Nian Jinsui squinted, immediately sensing something was off. 

"I want to see it even if it’s fine."

He reached out and grabbed Qin Chengyu’s hand, only to be shocked at what he saw.

The injury on Qin Chengyu’s hand had worsened—it was no wonder the physical harm score had gone up.

"Chengyu, you haven’t applied any medicine, have you?"

"I’ll take care of it later," 

Qin Chengyu replied nonchalantly, attempting to pull his hand back, but Nian Jinsui wouldn’t let him.

"Don’t move," 

Nian Jinsui ordered, scrutinizing the deep cuts on Qin Chengyu’s palm. 

The edges of the wounds were pale but still oozing blood, confirming his suspicion. 

"Did your hand get wet while you were showering?"

Qin Chengyu avoided his gaze, his long lashes casting shadows over his cheeks. 

"No."

"Bullshit!" 

Nian Jinsui snapped.

Qin Chengyu had always been meticulous about taking care of Nian Jin sui, 

even massaging a bruise for days until it faded. 

Yet, when it came to his own injuries, he was so careless.

"It’s just a minor injury. It’ll heal soon."

"Minor? I think it needs stitches!"

Seeing Qin Chengyu remain indifferent, Nian Jinsui, out of frustration, poked at the wound to gauge his reaction. 

To his astonishment, Qin Chengyu didn’t even flinch.

Pulling his hand back, Qin Chengyu said, 

"There’s no need to go to the hospital. I’ll apply some medicine later, and it’ll be fine."

"You’re really not afraid of pain, are you?" 

Nian Jinsui sighed in exasperation. 

"Go grab the first-aid kit. I’ll bandage it for you."
