His eyes blurred as the star officer on duty looked up at the sky. The night stretched on, and he had no desire to sleep. Did the man have no conscience? He had taken Nian and received the merit, then turned around and said he did not want it. An honorable man really did get taken advantage of all too easily.
The star officer's throat went dry, and he felt like throwing up. So now he was the one who had cheated the other man? Who exactly was cheating whom?
Cheating? Qin Fen did not think so. The Library was important to him, yes, but its benefits were equally obvious. The star officer was getting quite a bargain this time, yet he was still acting like a complete miser. "So stingy!" Qin Fen curled his lip. You little punk, Big Chef can see what you're thinking. You've been cursing up a storm.
Collecting himself, the star officer pushed his stray thoughts aside. "Senior, I was wrong. I'll work on my temperament from now on. I'm simply too impatient. You're generous and honorable, so please don't hold it against me!"
Qin Fen scratched his chin. "Mm, don't worry. I've always been a man of principle. It's settled, then."
Hearing Big Chef say that, the star officer slowly relaxed. Surely the man would not go back on his word. Otherwise, how could he have the nerve to call himself an immortal?
"Thank you, Senior. I'm sorry to have put you in a difficult position!" the star officer said, aching inside.
"Exactly. I really don't care for Nian!"
"Thank you for going to the trouble!" Now it was more than an ache; his heart was bleeding. The star officer forced out each word.
"Mm, a living **, doing good deeds without taking credit!"
