Rao Beichen thought to himself, luckily they hadn't looked over and noticed them, otherwise Shang Qi's words would have been overheard by Can Can.
"What is it?" Shang Qi looked at Rao Beichen and met his gaze. He said directly, "Are you going to stay like this forever?"
"Not tell her, keep it a secret from her? How long do you think you can stay with her? If you don't tell her, she'll meet someone new. By the time she does, you go to tell her, it seems too late, and it will be a kind of torment for her."
Su Ling didn't speak, she just listened quietly, holding a bag of potato chips, like a spectator enjoying the show.
Rao Beichen looked at Shang Qi who was speaking, and paused, "I almost forgot, you can hear people's thoughts."
"I thought if you could hear my thoughts, you'd find my intentions pretty dirty."
After saying that, Rao Beichen seemed deflated. He scratched his hair, "To be honest, I have thought about telling Can Can. But the moment I thought about it, I wondered how she would see me? Would she think I'm disgusting, perverted, or sordid?"
After all, he was her brother.
Su Ling remained silent, munching on potato chips with a crisp crunch.
Gu Shangse had walked over while they were talking and stood next to Rao Beichen.
Rao Beichen was completely unguarded around Gu Shangse, being completely honest.
It seemed his secret was already common knowledge.
Shang Qi looked at the worried and hesitant Rao Beichen, and in a good mood, decided to help. He said, "Your sister's feelings are similar to yours, she's just not as clear-headed as you. She's still in a transitional phase and doesn't understand her own heart yet."
"If you keep dawdling, you'll be giving your rivals an opportunity." As Shang Qi spoke, he glanced towards Rao Can. The young men at the outpost were chatting and laughing with Rao Can and a few other girls, getting along well.
"Anyway, you're not biological siblings, there's no blood relation, you just live under the same roof, what's there to be afraid of? Besides, this is a doomsday world, the strong reign supreme, it's about strength, not words."
It had to be said that Shang Qi was quite skilled at comforting and advising people.
Shang Qi was not a particularly talkative or enthusiastic person. He was doing this because Rao Beichen had helped him reunite with his Ah Ling, and he was repaying the favor.
After all, if it weren't for Rao Beichen, it would have taken him much longer to meet his Ah Ling.
Rao Beichen was persuaded by Shang Qi, and he secretly made a decision in his heart.
Gu Shangse, while drinking water, also chimed in at the right moment, "Although it might not be appropriate to say, I have indeed heard similar thoughts. Rao Can really likes you as a brother. So if you like her, then strive for it, don't leave any regrets."
Gu Shangse's words, while well-intentioned, made Rao Beichen's mind freeze up a bit.
After composing himself, Rao Beichen looked at Gu Shangse, "Do you also have mind-reading abilities?"
Gu Shangse grunted. He looked at Rao Beichen and kindly reminded him, "Try not to have too many thoughts in your head in the future, but it's alright, we're not so bored that we'd listen to everyone's thoughts. It's just that sometimes, we forget to block it out."
Rao Beichen: "..."
As if he had thought of something, Rao Beichen looked at Gu Shangse, then at Shang Qi, "The two of you, you didn't use it to eavesdrop on Su Ling's thoughts and then forgot to block it out, did you?"
"Can't hear (Can't hear)."
Shang Qi and Gu Shangse said in unison, with perfect默契.
Rao Beichen's eyelids twitched, "What do you mean? Are you two implying that your mind-reading abilities don't work on Su Ling?"
