I Told You To Manage The Reserve Unit For Me Instead Of Turning It Into A Special Troop

Chapter 1482: Chapter 829: Haven’t Played Chess in Over a Decade

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuan’s face briefly flashed with astonishment, and his eyes slightly widened.

He hadn’t expected Yuexia to truly understand him here, although influenced by these words.

But in the end, she chose to stand by his side and explain together, which amounted to confronting the enemy with him.

There was a hint of joy on Qin Yuan’s face, but it quickly returned to calm.

He didn’t like to show his emotions openly, even for a moment, they would quickly vanish.

That way, no one could detect any difference in him.

Even though Ling Yu heard all this, his face didn’t show any desire to speak.

He looked entirely calm.

Not even blinking much, it was hard to discern what he was thinking at the moment.

It seemed he was also dealing with something extremely frustrating.

After a moment, Ling Yu collected his thoughts and cleared his throat.

“In fact, I do choose to believe what you’ve said, your words really do make some sense, especially when people are impulsive.”

“Indeed, they might act irrationally, so your recent behavior is indeed excusable.”

“Anyway, I didn’t have any misunderstanding about your relationship, and now that I’ve heard your explanation, I won’t misunderstand.”

On hearing this, Qin Yuan did not speak.

But he seemed to have thought of something and then smiled slightly with curved lips.

Yuexia thought she wouldn’t get any response, but unexpectedly, she heard such a loud and joyous voice.

Gradually, it took over her heart, and her lips also slightly curved upwards.

A moment later, Yuexia faintly curved her lips into a smile.

“Ling Yu, you really are quite rational.”

But that was all she said.

There was no need for excessive praise.

Especially now, with many people and much gossip, too much praise might lead to misunderstanding.

To be cautious, it’s best not to say things that shouldn’t be said, sticking to brevity.

Conveying the intended message is enough, there’s no need for further words.

This reflects Yuexia’s understanding, as her lips faintly curved up once more.

Sometime later, Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows and then gave a thumbs up.

“Ling Yu, impressive.”

His words were simple too.

But these two sentences inexplicably lifted Ling Yu’s spirits, his lips curving uncontrollably into a smile.

As sweet as if he had tasted honey.

Upon hearing their exchange, Baldy slightly curved his lips and continued following their lead.

“What you said really does make sense, I can empathize, as I’ve been in such situations before.”

“In my haste, I acted irrationally, just like when Yuexia was about to grab the poison.”

“Out of fear, I subconsciously clung to Yuexia’s legs. It was a lapse in decorum, an impulsive act.”

Qin Yuan knew why Baldy was speaking like this; his words had a purpose.

To ensure Yuexia didn’t feel upset, to curry favor with her, and even more, to obtain the antidote from her hands.

That was Baldy’s aim, but Qin Yuan didn’t outright say it, just waiting to see if Baldy’s efforts would pay off.

However, Qin Yuan felt that Yuexia couldn’t drag this out any longer.

If the poison was losing its effect, without the fawning, and they had to consume it, their deceit would be exposed.

The most critical point being Yuexia was unaware of how long the drug’s efficacy would last; it was an unknown factor.

It was necessary to act quickly to prevent any blowback, or the consequences would indeed be worrying.

Though Qin Yuan was contemplating this, he glanced at Yuexia deliberately, intending to communicate this piece of information to her.

Even though she quickly understood Qin Yuan’s meaning, she didn’t speak, but her eyes became extremely serious.

Baldy slightly lowered his eyes, his voice continuing without pause.

“Because I didn’t have time to think, I was afraid of the repercussions, so I just hurriedly acted.”

“Yuexia, I was indeed very irrational just now, and I now apologize to you, hoping you can forgive my actions.”

“Please don’t blame me, I truly realize my mistake, and if you want me to make it up to you, I will.”

The audience around had been engrossed in whether Qin Yuan and Yuexia were involved with each other.

But upon hearing Baldy’s words, their attention shifted, focusing on Baldy and Yuexia’s matter instead.

They were curious if Yuexia had chosen to forgive Baldy and whether she would give him a way out.

After a moment, Yuexia lightly curved her lips into a smile.

“Baldy, it seems that you do have quite a high level of awareness. In light of your apology, I won’t hold it against you too much.”

“Anyway, I’m not the type to be so petty, for sure I won’t be petty if I can help it, and you don’t need to emphasize so much here.”

“All this emphasis is a bit too much, unaware people might think you’re coveting my antidote.”

Yuexia spoke these words without a trace of a smile.

But, truly, they tightened Baldy’s heart, spawning a sudden tension. Were these words just casually uttered?
