Chapter 680: Fire-spreaders, plural

~7 min read 1,327 words

Fire-spreaders, plural.

"I don't really like to express myself. I have always believed that doing is far better than saying." Qin Xin smiled, raised the silence prop in his hand, and then said with some disappointment, "You shouldn't have bet, because you can't be sure if he and I are the same kind of person."

He!

The moment Qin Xin said the word "he," all the doubts in An Mingyu's heart were resolved, and she knew that even if the Qin Xin in front of her had any abnormalities, he was still Qin Xin.

However, the blind woman didn't answer this question. She just silently looked down at the silence prop belonging to the fire-spreaders in Qin Xin's hand, sensing that the tiny cracks on it were much more than before.

Her expression became a bit complicated, and she asked in a low voice: "Will you also feel sad for his death?"

This was undoubtedly a standard 【Fate】 question, full of the aura of a riddle-maker. But as it happened, the two people present today were both smart people. Qin Xin heard this question, slightly restrained his smile, but still kept a trace of a smile on his face:

"The departure of every fire-spreader is enough to make us feel sorrow, especially me."

"But I think you like to smile more, more than he...... liked to smile." The blind woman raised her head, the look on her face quite complicated.

Hearing this, Qin Xin didn't smile anymore. He shook his head in self-mockery and said in a deep voice:

"The more you lack something, the more you will want to get it.

If survival wasn't bitter, perhaps I would be like him, not so fond of smiling."

They...... are very bitter?

The blind woman frowned and said no more. The scene fell silent again. These two didn't seem to be as talkative as before.

After a while, Qin Xin smiled again: "But this is also good. At least you gave me some motivation to struggle, letting me know that the path I walk is not so difficult."

"Is it the fire-spreader that is difficult, or...... is the world difficult?"

Qin Xin was slightly stunned and smiled: "Why ask like that?"

The blind woman thought for a moment and said seriously: "You think I'm lively, you think the Fate Weaver is sunny, so I'm thinking, she and he, perhaps they are both like you, inclined to be silent?

I don't think I'm a silent person, and Cheng Shi is even less so, so it's hard for me to imagine what a world inclined to silence would be like."

"......" Qin Xin sighed, "As expected of you. In front of a prophet, you really can't say too much.

Not bad, the world is difficult, every step is hard. Not just you and me, everyone is having a hard time."

"What happened?" The blind woman raised her head and asked suddenly, but then felt her question was a bit redundant, so her expression changed slightly, she was embarrassed for a moment, withdrew a question, and threw out a cold joke again, "Forget it, it seems 【Silence】 is the biggest winner."

"Watching without doing is not necessarily winning.

Alright, Mingyu, I know what you're worried about, but you don't need to worry too much.

What Qin Xin yearns for has never been the beauty that is within reach, but the ability and original intention to protect beauty.

Remember, fire-spreaders have never spread fire to warm themselves. The burning torch can only spread further when it is far enough away from oneself."

When Qin Xin said these words, his tone was so firm, his eyes were so bright. He was like a true lighthouse illuminating the path ahead for the fire-spreaders, and the source of that light was the sincerity in his heart that would never be extinguished.

Even the blind woman's void and empty vision was almost illuminated by this light. She was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and laughed.

"You are indeed the same kind of person, always able to give me a shock in an accidental moment, and then remind me:

You are just a person lucky enough to walk with the fire-spreaders, not a true fire-spreader."

Hearing this, Qin Xin's expression changed slightly, but very quickly he laughed loudly.

"What are you laughing at?" The blind woman was a bit confused.

"I'm laughing that it wasn't you who won the bet, but me."

"Why?"

"Because...... she was once like you, but now, she is."

Is what!? Is it fire-spreading!?

She became a true fire-spreader!?

The blind woman's eyes widened suddenly, and even her tightly closed eyes almost tore open a slit because of shock. She looked at Qin Xin in astonishment until the other party nodded again and again, then she came back to her senses, let out a heavy breath, and smiled brightly:

"Really good."

"Yeah, really good."

The two fire-spreaders exchanged whispers for a while, until just now they each restrained their breath and said no more. And it was at this time that Cheng Shi came.

The clown pushed the door and entered directly, nodded at Qin Xin who cast his gaze at him, and then looked straight at the blind woman's back without saying anything.

An Mingyu felt Cheng Shi's gaze. She was slightly stunned, clearly feeling that this Fate Weaver had something to say to her, so she stood up, turned to Cheng Shi, and waved at him.

Clearly, she was inviting Cheng Shi to enter the space silenced by the fire-spreaders.

However, Cheng Shi didn't move. He just stood in place, looking at the blind woman with a smile, saying nothing.

He wasn't trying to be coy, but had already initiated a probe.

But the object of this probe wasn't the blind woman, but...... Qin Xin!

He knew that Qin Xin was the most understanding and considerate person, and even when at the inn, he would consciously leave the room because his identity caused trouble for others.

Cheng Shi's probe was to test whether the Qin Xin who had "abnormalities" at this time was as considerate and tolerant as before.

If he was, the other party would naturally understand everything at the moment, and then silently make space for Cheng Shi and the blind woman. In this way, at least in terms of trust in the fire-spreaders, Cheng Shi could add another bargaining chip.

But if not......

To be honest, Cheng Shi hadn't thought about what to do. Even the probe at the moment was a thought that suddenly burst out the moment before he entered the door.

He couldn't even be sure if this Qin Xin was a "discrepancy," would the mirror image on another timeline have the same will to defend beauty as the fire-spreaders.

He wanted a good result, but the facts rejected his request, because Qin Xin was standing in place with a smile, looking at him, not moving at all.

He really changed!

The current Qin Xin must be a "discrepancy" of 【Time】!

Since that was the case, what about the blind woman? She didn't seem surprised by the other party's reaction. Then, was this 【Fate】 God's Chosen, this fire-spreader he had fished out of the hands of 【Death】, the fire-spreader who had accompanied him all the way today?

Cheng Shi's gaze became deep. His vision jumped back and forth between the two fire-spreaders, as if wanting to see if these two already knew something.

And just then, just when the scene was about to become awkward, Qin Xin moved.

He hooked the corner of his mouth, stepped toward the warehouse door, and when he brushed shoulders with Cheng Shi, he patted the other party's shoulder and revealed a meaningful smile.

"It seems someone wants to swap shifts with me in advance. Since that's the case, I'm going to have a good sleep.

I hope tonight, don't have any nightmares." ===== CHAPTER 681 =====
