Chapter 627: 627. A brain that absorbs water_1 Chapter 627: 627. A brain that absorbs water_1 At that moment, not just Qin Yun, who was being intensely watched by Lun Chuan, but even He Kuang, who had been non-stop chattering just now, became silent.

They were all new writers from the same batch, who, by a twist of fate, slowly became close friends.

Back then, just when Lun Chuan had begun to make a name for himself, he was plagiarized by a well-known senior author, who even had the audacity to accuse him at the writers’ conference–

Lun Chuan was still figuring out how to adjust the color palette and produce solid evidence when the two of them, with their keyboards at the ready, joined the fray.

He Kuang, with his glib tongue, could talk the dead out of their coffins, not to mention Qin Yun–he had always been on the heavier side and was often mocked by other children when he was young, which led to many fights, honing his fighting skills to be particularly tricky…

Anyway, that conference was indeed very exciting.

And it was there that the three of them became close friends.

Qin Yun is not a bad person, in fact, he’s quite loyal.

When Lun Chuan was hospitalized, he and He Kuang rushed over to visit overnight. He still remembers how they cursed and swore in the hospital room:

“You scoundrel! You dare to play the hero before finishing your book!”

It was precisely for this reason that Lun Chuan was now so furious.

Both of them were shocked into silence.

During this stunned silence, the heavy solid-wood table suddenly made a “crack” sound, and upon closer inspection, a crack was rapidly spreading, extending to about ten to twenty centimeters in length.

Such a kick, if it were to land on one’s leg…

Qin Yun took a sharp intake of breath.

He Kuang unnoticeably shifted his legs together, trying to smooth things over:

“It’s not so serious… not that serious… If Qin Yun says he didn’t do anything, then he definitely didn’t. I still believe that… ”

“I thought you were more sensible than us, asking you to advise him…”

But Lun Chuan looked at Qin Yun with a deep gaze:

“You didn’t have the chance to do it, or it’s a misunderstanding, I know, and you know it in your heart.”

“You say you didn’t do anything, and Chen Li wants a divorce. I ask you, how many times have you watched a movie with her alone after having children–I saw on social media, the last time was during the New Year, right?”

He Kuang pursed his lips.

He just felt something was off when chatting with Qin Yun and thought of asking Lun Chuan to talk some sense into him, and also to advise Chen Li–

Speaking of which, it’s a bit pitiful. Chen Li is a loyal reader of Lun Chuan and especially likes his style when he writes single female leads or has no female leads, without the tangled romance plots.

Unlike these two, who can’t help but be a bit… cough, cough, cough.

But now, listening to Lun Chuan’s words, how come… how come it doesn’t seem like he’s trying to reconcile them at all!

And… and has it really become this serious?

Sweat began to form on Qin Yun’s forehead, the hot tea in front of him gave off a faint steam in the air-conditioned room, so much so that his vision blurred from the tension.

Yet Lun Chuan’s words pierced his heart like a knife, laying all his awkwardness bare for all to see.

“Eating out, shopping, watching movies… a two-hour movie, that’s enough time for you to write ten thousand words. Based on your rate, those ten thousand words are worth at least 2000.”

“Qin Yun, if you weren’t harboring other intentions, would you be willing to waste these two hours? I, as a friend, can understand you to this extent; do you think Chen Li doesn’t understand as well?”

Qin Yun took a deep breath, “But at first, that wasn’t really my intention… and besides, she could have talked to me! Instead of saying nothing and going straight for a divorce.”

“I know I made a mistake, I can change! I really didn’t realize; I was just, just eating meals and such… She needed to tell me!”

“And she said she can’t win an argument with me. When I got home, the divorce papers were already prepared, just waiting for my signature–our child just started elementary school, and she’s going on like this, letting her emotions run wild… ”

At that moment, He Kuang’s face just fell.

Lun Chuan fell silent as well.

In the nearly suffocating silence, the subtle aroma of the tea became even more tranquil, to the extent that Lun Chuan took a sip of water and let out a sigh.

“She wants a divorce because she understands that although this is just the beginning, she can’t stop emotional infidelity, and she really can’t keep the family together,” he said.

“Just like you said. The child had just started primary school, and you were already restless and irresponsible. If she doesn’t divorce you, should she wait until you have a bunch of kids outside, stepping all over her dignity?”

“Qin Yun, it’s not terrible for two people who have been together for a long time to lose love, but what’s terrifying is the loss of a sense of responsibility and morality.”

Qin Yun turned deathly pale.

He wanted to say he didn’t have that intention; even if a beauty invited him, he had to show some face.

Or perhaps, how could he possibly have a swarm of children outside? His daughter is the cutest in the world; no one could surpass her.

And if all else fails, it wasn’t that he had emotionally cheated; he really valued his family…

But under Lun Chuan’s gaze, he couldn’t utter a single word.

Seeing that he remained silent, He Kuang became even more anxious–having a close brother these days is not easy! He really didn’t want to lose this friendship over this matter!

He quickly tried to persuade him:

“You’re just being unreasonable! Wasn’t Chen Li young and pretty when she was dating you? It’s because she was with you through thick and thin, with no time to dress up and make herself up!”

“What’s our level? The level of striving through hardships! Neither of us is particularly attractive, and two years ago when writing books, we were as poor as dogs. She was willing to be with you then… Do you think she could foresee your prosperous future?”

“Place your hand over your heart and think back to five years ago, meeting a beauty–dining, shopping, and watching movies–offering a bouquet might’ve even been rejected by her, thinking it beneath her!”

“Think about it, when you’re old and in the hospital for emergency care, and the doctor says there’s still a glimmer of hope, will it be Chen Li taking care of you, holding your oxygen tube, or your future wives suggesting to pull the plug?”

“I’m telling you, cheating is just being brain-dead! Pure foolishness!”

After all that had been said, if Qin Yun didn’t speak now, he’d truly be a fool.

His voice hoarse and eyes brimming with redness, he wanted to say something but ultimately fumbled in his pocket:

“I’m going out for a smoke.”

He Kuang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Lun Chuan raised his hand and pointed to the balcony, “Go smoke outside.”

Qin Yun: …

The moment he pushed the balcony door open, he immediately stepped back and closed it.

“Today it’s 39 degrees, and you’re telling me to go out on the balcony to bake in the sun?”

“Mhm.” Lun Chuan said nonchalantly, “While you’re at it, sun-dry that waterlogged brain of yours.”

Qin Yun: …

Without another word, he pushed the door open and went out.

Once the door was closed, He Kuang grimaced, “Damn, that gave me a scare, I’m sweating bullets!”

“Damn it all, if he dares get a divorce, then our brotherhood won’t last–Chen Li is beyond reproach. Back when I was broke, she’d buy instant noodles for Qin Yun and never forget about me. If I call anyone else sister-in-law after this, wouldn’t I become the ingrate?”

“It was all thanks to you for stepping in and nailing it! Exposing his true motives–We’re all men, who doesn’t like beautiful women? My wife loves them more than I do! But can those beauties outside be my wife?”

“Lun Chuan, why are you so harsh?! You’re going all out, aren’t you? Look at this table leg–you’ll probably have to get Qin Yun to pay for a new table.”
