Young man, please stay

Chapter 86 Like Nan Lingyue

"Lingyue, do you know the story of the struggle for hegemony during the Three Kingdoms period?"

"Yeah, I know a little bit."

Nan Lingyue nodded, Wu, Shu and Wei divided the world. Anyone who has read a little bit of books should know this ancient history.

"At that time, the leaders of various forces had their own advantages and disadvantages, but as leaders, there was one skill they must have."

"What skill?"

"The way to employ people."

Qin Lang smiled and said:
  "I once asked Xuan'er how she became your personal maid. She said that you chose her out of a dozen little girls. Are you satisfied with Xuan'er now?"

"Of course I'm satisfied." Nan Lingyue nodded vigorously, "She's like my biological sister."

"Yes, and Wen Xue. It is said that she was not the owner of the Ningxiang Pavilion in Jingzhou Prefecture at the beginning. The previous owner was removed because of favoritism. It was you who inspected the pavilion for a month and removed her, who was still an inconspicuous servant at that time. She directly promoted the manager of the hall, and as a result, the Ningxiang Hall’s ability to persist from then to now is all thanks to Wen Xue?”

In the end, of course, Qin Lang shamelessly gave his own example.

"Lingyue, are you satisfied with me?"

"Eh…?"

Nan Lingyue was a little embarrassed by Qin Lang's words of praise, but when he finally heard his words, he was in a daze for a moment, his face flushed uncontrollably, and he looked down at his fingers:

"satisfy…"

From a certain perspective, if she was dissatisfied with him, she probably wouldn't have saved him in the first place...

But after getting to know it more deeply, I became more and more satisfied...

……

"So, anyone who achieves great things must be good at employing people. You are definitely talented in the way you look at people."

"I know, I know, it feels okay...you have praised me to the sky..."

However, after Qin Lang reminded her, Nan Lingyue finally realized that she did have the ability to see people. Qin Lang's words could be regarded as a little encouragement for her.

Goo chirp…

"?"

"?!"

There was some sudden movement. Qin Lang glanced at Nan Lingyue's abdomen and pushed the remaining half bowl of noodles in front of her:

"If you're hungry, how about you..."

"No no no."

Nan Lingyue waved his hand, and Qin Lang smiled bitterly and nodded:

"Well...it's a little bad to let the saint eat the leftovers..."

"No, I don't mean to dislike you. It's just that there isn't much here, and you have to write and think here. It's better to be full. I'll go back to sleep right away. It doesn't matter if you're hungry."

Eating before going to bed is indeed bad for the stomach, but if you don’t eat at all when you are hungry, it will also be bad for sleep.

"How about this."

So at Qin Lang's insistence, Nan Lingyue divided half of the poached eggs he had not eaten.

"You finish your noodles, and I'll just eat a little bit of your eggs~"

Nan Lingyue whimpered, and felt a little burned again. His delicate little mouth wrapped half of the egg in hiss, and walked out the door while waving.

"Get some rest early, Qin Lang, oh, master too."

--------

"Stinky girl, luckily she still remembers her master. Alas, she is a bad girl..."

After the saint left, the little sect master lay on the bed and sighed in an old-fashioned way. Qin Lang chose to ignore it, finished the noodles warmly, and then continued to write and draw.

"..."

Zhuo Beibei stared at Qin Lang's back for a long time, and then muttered coldly:
  "Boy, what do you think of my apprentice?"

"Ahem! Ahem...??"

Qin Lang, who was sipping tea and contemplating, was choked by this guy's babbling words:
  "How about something?"

"In the words you asked her, are you satisfied with her?"

"..."   Qin Lang put down his pen, turned around and crossed his arms across his chest, squinting his eyes and looking at the little girl on the bed:
  "I said you're such a big deal, can you stop thinking about messy things every day?"

"Are I thinking about myself? I am Lingyue's master. If I don't think about her, who will think about her?"

"You can do it if you want, but don't involve me."

"Okay, then just tell me whether you like Ling Yue or not."

"..."

Qin Lang glanced at a few pieces of paper on the table and felt that this might be the end of the night, otherwise this guy would definitely not be able to stop tossing, so he put down the pen, blew out the lamp, and started to take off his clothes.

Qin Lang had already taken a bath before burning the midnight oil today, so he just rinsed his mouth with salt tea and water, and then went to bed. Before going to bed, he hugged the little female cat and moved it around.

"You brat, are you deliberately ignoring me..."

"Who is ignoring you? You are acting like a spoiled child. Don't disturb us yet."

"Meow~"

He was lying on Qin Lang's words, his little pink paws scratching Qin Lang's chin, while turning his head and giving an evil smile to Zhuo Beibei next to him:
  "Meow…"

A mere wild woman, does she know how much she holds in his heart?
  "Ah!"

Zhuo Beibei sneered, directly picked up Tuantuan's tail, threw her under the bed, and threw herself on Qin Lang's chest instead:
  "Don't change the subject. Answer me, do you like Ling Yue?"

"..."

Qin Lang sighed helplessly:
  "I like it, what's wrong?"

"I knew it!"

Zhuo Beibei bit his lip, smashed his arm with his little hand, and said loudly:
  "No wonder you told her stories!"

"I...when did I tell her a story?"

"The story of the Three Kingdoms!"

He still doesn't admit it! Obviously only the sect master is qualified to listen to his bedtime stories, so why should other women listen to him? Of course there is only one answer, and that is Qin Lang likes that woman.

Of course, as for the fact that that woman happens to be his apprentice, it's a matter of course.

"You tell Ling Yue about the Three Kingdoms and give her eggs to eat. You just like her!"

The lord of the sect is justified. Qin Lang nodded again and admitted:
  "Yes, I said I like her, what's wrong? Doesn't Tianhe Sect encourage children to love each other? Tianhe Sect's saints do not allow others to like her?"

"you…"

"And I like her, and it doesn't have to be a romantic love. It can be a love between friends. What are you excited about? Do you think I'm a wild boar? That I'm humiliating your baby cabbage?"

"..."

A...like between friends?
  When Qin Lang said this, Zhuo Beibei stopped making trouble.

She didn't know why she didn't make a fuss, let alone why she made a fuss just now.

Regarding the fact that Qin Lang fell in love with her apprentice, was it really because of her status as a master that she instinctively had a protective mentality...

It seems...she doesn't know...

"never mind."

After a long silence, Zhuo Beibei said expressionlessly:
  "Just like it if you like it. Just wait for me to fall asleep one day. If you are reluctant to let me go, you can let her accompany you instead of me."

"What are you talking about...always talking about these unpleasant topics..."

Qin Lang rolled his eyes at her and subconsciously held her tighter with his hands.

Zhuo Beibei felt this, so he curved his eyebrows, raised a familiar and arrogant smile on his lips, stretched out his little arms from the quilt, and hugged Qin Lang's arms:
  "What's wrong, brat? Could it be that...you really can't bear to leave me?"

"I see your butt wants to be spanked again... Tsk, stop rubbing your feet. I'm tired. I won't do that. Let's tell a story."

After all, Qin Lang didn't directly answer whether he was reluctant to leave Zhuo Beibei, but Zhuo Beibei already had the answer in his heart. He found a comfortable angle in his arms and started his favorite story-telling session every day.

"Where did you talk about last time?"

"Talking about Mr. Wolong's analysis of the general trend of the world for Liu Bei."

"Oh... Kong Ming just said that he wants to occupy Yizhou and then stand on three pillars..."

"Three jade feet are pushing up, why don't you stand up... Huh... This Kong Ming is also a pervert... Oh, it hurts, it hurts -!"
