Chapter 56 — A Bit Dumb

【 001. He’s so dumb, would that count as a secret? 】Su Yanyi felt that 001 was rather useful. At least she could complain to it when she was bored.

【 Mr. Master isn’t dumb, he’s just nervous because he loves you too much and cares about you too much. 】

Maybe it was because a bystander could see the bigger picture, or maybe 001 possessed naturally high EQ, but either way, what it said actually made sense. Su Yanyi was extremely surprised by that, but of course, she paid more attention to the content rather than the speaker.

She turned to stare seriously Qin Jiran, as if she was trying to confirm if what 001 said was true.

He noticed her peculiar gaze and asked with a trace of nervousness,  “What’s wrong?”

“Just thinking that you’re a little dumb,” she answered honestly, and very seriously.

That made him feel a bit wronged. He hadn’t even done anything, so why was Yanyi calling him dumb?

But unbeknownst to him, his lack of action was exactly why she thought he was dumb.

Su Yanyi took in his speechless expression and suddenly thought that, well, being dumb wasn’t such a bad thing. At least she wouldn’t have to worry about being deceived.

For a woman like her, having a sense of trust for her partner was absolutely necessary. She even considered it the prerequisite for love, as she believed that only a relationship fostered by trust could thrive.

She would give up a relationship that only bore love, and not trust. Or rather, it would be more accurate to say that she would destroy the relationship, because admittedly, she was a self-centered woman with an unyielding desire for control, and that desire must be complemented with a sense of trust. If she held the reins but lacked a sense of trust, then the relationship would end disastrously.

However, it must be mentioned that if it weren’t for everything Qin Jiran had done for her in her past life, she would never have thought to appreciate him.

Qin Jiran tried to figure out where he had made a mistake, but to no avail. He had no choice but to ask her, helplessly and sincerely, “Yanyi, what did I do wrong? Tell me, I’ll change.”

Just as she was about to say that he was good and didn’t need to change, she changed her mind and deliberately put on a cold expression before saying, ”Do you remember what you said before?”

“Which?” He had said a lot of things, so he wasn’t sure which one she was talking about. And even though he remembered everything he had ever said to her, mainly because he was always very careful about what he said to her, her question was just too vague.

“You said you want to pursue me, but you haven’t done anything yet,” she reminded bluntly.

Clearly, he had not expected her to say this. He instantly fell silent as his entire face turned red, betraying his embarrassment.

“I, I… “ He didn’t know what he should say. Of course he remembered saying that, and Heavens knew how happy he felt that day, but when it came time to actually do it, he found that it was easier said than done.

When he asked Jiang Xiaobin about how to chase a girl, Jiang Xiaobin had given him a very clear-cut answer, and that was to treat her well. When asked for clarification, his answer could be summed up in two words: dates, and gifts.

Dates? The idea wasn’t new to Qin Jiran, but there was one problem: he was always very busy, and Su Yanyi was too. Plus, they were already living together, so wouldn’t it be weird if he mentioned going on a date? But taking a walk like this felt nice. It should count as a date, right?

And as for sending gifts, he didn’t know what he should send. Aside from eating, he had tried and failed to find what else she liked. Jiang Xiaobin said that girls were fond of flowers and other things like that, but Qin Jiran had a feeling that it wouldn’t work for Su Yanyi.

Judging from the situation he was in now, it seemed that his excessive caution and concern had made her unhappy. Since that was the case, he decided to go ahead and try one of Jiang Xiaobin’s suggestions anyway.

“Then are you free tomorrow? Let’s go on a date?” he asked expectantly. And as for the work he had to do tomorrow… the Great Emperor Qin didn’t care. It wasn’t as important as Su Yanyi anyway.

She glanced at him with a deep smile in her eyes. Unfortunately, the night was dark, so he didn’t notice.

She really did think that this man was a bit dumb, but this kind of dumb was the clumsy slow-witted type that somehow gave her a sense of security, and it even made him seem particularly cute.

“I have to work tomorrow.”

Qin Jiran’s face fell, but her next words instantly cheered him back up again.

”… but we can go out in the evening.”

“Alright, we’ll go out in the evening then!” He nodded vigorously. When it came time to give the year-end awards, he was definitely going to give Jiang Xiaobin an extra share.

Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran continued on their stroll, but they never got to holding hands. Even so, the mood between them was especially beautiful. Their shadows blurred under the dim lamplights, but they were in harmony with each other.

Maybe their feelings had not yet reached the point of mutual love, and maybe they weren’t so good at grasping the meanings in each other’s words, but despite the maybes, their relationship was gradually blossoming. Although they were still at the stage of ignorance, clumsiness, and inexperience, they were happy and expectant.

And maybe it was because the mood was too good, or maybe time had flown too fast, but the walk back felt extremely short. As Qin Jiran watched Su Yanyi return to her bedroom, he was filled with reluctance and affection. He was even beginning to consider making more delicious food in the future, hoping that Yanyi would eat a lot every day, because if she ate a lot every day, then he could go out for a walk with her every day.

Thus, from that day on, the Great Emperor Qin became very, very fond of cooking. He poured almost all of his free time into researching for food and pastry recipes, while Her Highness the Queen would happily gobble down the fruits of his labor.


VIN: “Dumb” sounds better than “stupid,” so I’m going to use that from now on.

Countdown: 3

PSST, PSST, READ. Check out the poll. The public ISO server can be intimidating and overwhelming, so I was wondering if I should make a small private server just for RFEBW readers. Of course, you would also be able to discuss other novels and give recommendations. I’ll include channels for teasers and a progress bar for RFEBW so you’ll know how long it’ll be before a new chapter comes out. I’m working on a new project (a quick transmigration) and have a few chapters piled up, so I’ll also be sharing those for feedback.

RELEASE SCHEDULE: 1x a week, 3x every other week.

  1. am i strange for thinking trust is one of the essentials for a relationship? i mean: for it to work you need that or be afraid of all the what ifs that come with a lack of trust…
    might be overthinking, but to be that close to another (and i consider that to be both mental and physical in a romantic relationship) you will open yourself up to the partner to get close which means they will know at least some of your weaknesses. so if you cant trust how will you ever get close? try and become a neurotic mess? keep part of yourdelf closed off forever? thats basically never getting past a certain depth of interaction, kinda sad i think.
    also ty for chapter

  2. XD Intimidating huh? :3 I mean I can’t really disagree tbh but *eyy any crazy peeps out there want to join, just click dat button*

  3. Every time the author calls Jiran the “Great Emperor” and Yanyi “Her Highness the Queen” I imagine the Kangxi Emperor and Marie Antoinette and I just burst out laughing.

  4. Their relationship is very fulfilling after all those other novels I’ve been reading. Sure, they’re both awkward, but at least they seem realisticish and genuine in their love~! THIS is the pair we can cheer on wholeheartedly! ❤️

  5. I WANT A QIN JIRAN!!! Wanted someone like QJ!! ??? srsly characters like him is making my expectations for a guy to soar high like MT. TAI!!! Aaaaah…..where can I find someone who’d cook meals for me ? and give the care and love like QJ does!! Sheesh, guys nowadays are mostly part of the wham-bam-thank you ma’m— so ?‍♀️? On a side note though, SY!! You lucky girl!! When she called him dumb I was like girl, what about you? Well she’s a little slow but she really wanted to hold hands with him eh ufufufu ✨?

    THANKS FOR THE CHAPTER!!!

    1. If you meet guy like QJ.. you must take action first.. if you dont take action first , you will be tired like YanYi feels in this chapter ..:))) JUST WAITING

      1. Lmao. I think I’d secure the marriage cert first before dragging him down the aisle ?? imma scheme it properly so if someone like QJ shows up he aint going nowhere *smilescreepily*?

        1. In my country you get the certificate at the church.. so it has to be done together ? teach me to scheme please senpai *doing a dogeza*

          1. Marry that person in a different country rolfmao ? there’s always loopholes in the law. Much more marriage. As long as you get to marry in a country with the similar requisites of your country (legal age, civil status and apply for legal marriage cert then you’ll probably be safe?

          2. Ho Ho Ho~ well as someone who’s trying to understand law it sure is no equality or to be of service or justice. In the end laws are just there to ‘control’ the society and the norms. So that no madness comes over. If you’d look properly a yandere stalker girl/boy can just convert themselves into a citizen of another country where divorce isn’t approve, get married under their law and then yandere wifey/hubby can tie the poor victi—I mean their spouse. As long as you know it and you have the means you can manipulate your way 8/10 *evilsmile* ke ke ke~ For example marriage is the same it’s just some sort of life time contract or cohabitation with various legal responsibilities. Like when a wife who haven’t had ‘snusnu’ for awhile can opt for annulment or divorce the hubby for not fulfilling his ‘marital obligations’ and ask for compensation or damages. Mostly moral damages along the way??

  6. i think that SYY should not criticize QJR because she never had a real relationship before and the hubby going steady
