Real version:
Li Chui doesn't want to dedicate his life to the protagonist at all. He really wants to change his path far away and never know the protagonist in his life.
Because following the protagonist is so damn hard! Who knows who is on it!
But he had to follow the protagonist's footsteps and work conscientiously as the protagonist's number one friend to let the protagonist ascend to the throne of Hongjun, shatter the void, and send him back to his original world!
Refined version:
Qin Zhaoying and Zhou Aochen are good friends.
