Chapter 2

When Chi Qi opened his eyes, he felt dizzy. He subconsciously reached out to touch his head, but touched thick gauze.

The smell of disinfectant wafted into his nose, irritating his nerves. The headlights above his head were a bit dazzling. He closed his eyes tiredly again, pondering the current situation.

What happened to him?

My thoughts gradually returned.

He went to the mall to play and while eating, he saw a crowd of people gathered not far away. Thinking there was something interesting to watch, he hurriedly finished the last of his rice, and with great effort squeezed to the front. He stretched his neck and found that someone was robbing someone.

I was so engrossed in watching that I kept moving to find the best angle, but I accidentally fell down the stairs. I think that was when I hit my head.

I don't remember what happened afterwards.

Apart from the dizziness, I haven't noticed any pain in other parts of my body yet, so there shouldn't be any big problem... right?

Chi Qi, who valued his life very much, immediately started the test. After confirming that all his ten fingers could move, he quietly curled up his toes under the quilt. It was the familiar feeling of wanting to touch the ground.

Very good! He has neither arms nor legs missing!

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, large sections of footage that did not belong to Chi Qi himself flooded into his mind like a tide.

In an instant, the whole world began to spin, and everything in front of him went dark. Chi Qi frowned, groaned in pain, and muttered, "No way, is there a side effect?"

Ten minutes later, calm returned to the ward.

Chi Qi lay on his side, his eyes dull and his fair little face full of despair.

He, Chi Qi, an 18-year-old energetic boy who had just finished his miserable high school life, was about to rush into a bright future life, but he unexpectedly awakened that he was a character in a popular novel "The Big Boss Just Loves Me Alone" by a certain green software.

Although the plot of the novel is bloody, the author Chen Jingbing is an octopus. He updates 30,000 words a day and never takes a day off. The protagonist takes revenge on the same day. The story has many sweet moments and a fast pace. Readers stand from the perspective of the protagonist, which is simply awesome!

But from Chi Qi's perspective, it is very unfortunate.

Because he is the childhood friend of the vicious villain who keeps courting death... In short, he is the scumbag who gets abused.

Oh, and I also missed the fact that his whole family are villains.

The protagonist Zhao Yunxun and the protagonist An Xiao are childhood sweethearts. They grew up together and have a mutual crush on each other. However, An Xiao's brother, An Xun, who was his childhood friend, was jealous of their relationship. After failing to sabotage it many times, he decided to drug the protagonist in an attempt to replace him.

As fate would have it, it was An Xiao who entered the room, and the night was in chaos.

An Xun tried his best but not only did he fail to break up the two, but he became a tool to promote the progress of Zhao Yunxun and An Xiao's relationship, and the two became even more affectionate.

After this incident, Zhao Yunxun naturally hated An Xun to the core, but because he was the brother of his sweetheart, he showed mercy and did not hold him accountable.

Zhao Yunxun was kind enough to let An Xun go, but An Xun did not know what was good for him. With a twisted mentality, he thought that all this should belong to him, and he intensified his revenge on An Xiao.

Finally, Zhao Yunxun could no longer tolerate this and retaliated against An Xun in his own way, bringing disgrace upon himself and not letting the man who had given him the advice go unpunished.

The two were driven out of their home, and they begged for mercy in remorse as they wandered in the heavy rain. The rain blurred their faces, making it impossible to see the struggle on their faces, but it could not wash away their sins.

Chi Qi looked out the window, and there happened to be wind blowing down the leaves, which made him sad. Was the leaves' departure the result of the wind's pursuit or the tree's unwillingness to keep them?

What is the meaning of life?

[Wow, wow, wow, I don’t want to live anymore!] I'm going to jump off the building, the brave ones will enjoy the underworld first! 】

In front of the ward, Chi's mother, who had just arrived, was shocked when she heard this. She opened the door in panic, "Xiao Qi! Xiao Qi! What's wrong with you?"

In her impression, Xiaoqi has always been lively and cheerful, loves life, and has never had such negative thoughts!

How serious the casualties must have been for such an idea to come up?

Chi's mother rushed forward, held Chi Qi's arms, tears in her eyes, "No matter what, you must be full of hope for life. Mom will always be with you."

Chi Qi also had tears in his eyes, "Mom."

Mother Chi's tone was extremely gentle, "Xiao Qi."

The mother and son looked at each other tenderly, with only each other in their eyes.

[Wow, it’s so warm. I feel like the corpse spots on my body have faded. 】

At the sudden voice, Chi's mother shrank slightly, wanting Chi Qi to stop talking nonsense, but suddenly realizing something, she slowly lowered her head.

Wait, Xiaoqi didn’t seem to open his mouth.

Maybe she heard it wrong. The thought flashed through her mind and Chi's mother didn't take it to heart.

Chi Qi propped up his body, leaned against the pillow, and said obediently, "Mom, can you help me peel an apple?"

"good."

[There is only one good mother in the world. A child with a mother is like a treasure. When you are in your mother's arms, you will enjoy endless happiness. 】

Chi Qi sang loudly in his heart, with passion surging, and each note had eighteen bends, completely unaware of the shock on Chi's mother's face.

Mother Chi silently tightened the handle of the fruit knife and pointed the tip of the knife towards herself, "Xiao Qi, did you just... speak?"

"No, mom." Chi Qi had gauze wrapped around his head, his eyebrows were drooping, he looked pitiful, and his bright black eyes were watery.

Then Chi's mother shook her head slightly, denying the outrageous guess.

It must be my own problem: I'm old and worry too much, so I have hallucinations.

She happens to be in the hospital, so she should take some time to see a doctor.

＊

Chi Tingsi came out of the conference room with obvious fatigue on his face. He rubbed his frowning brows and strode forward while listening to his assistant's report.

I don't know what he said, but a trace of panic flashed across Chi Tingsi's face. He stopped and said, "You mean, Mom went to find Qingmian and gave him five million?"

The assistant responded in the affirmative, “Yes.”

Oh no.

Without any hesitation, he stuffed all the documents into his assistant's arms and said, "Contact me if there is anything urgent."

＊

With a creak, the door of the ward was pushed open.

When Chi's mother and Chi Qi heard the voice, they turned their heads at the same time.

Chi Tingsi hurried over from the company, his hair was neatly cut, and he was wearing a neat and well-fitting suit. His eyebrows and eyes were sharp, and the bow tie around his neck was tied for him by Lin Qingmian himself.

He first glanced at Chi Qi, and seeing his brother chewing an apple with a rosy face, he knew that Chi Qi was fine, and felt relieved.

"Mom, didn't we agree not to go see Qingmian yet?"

Chi's mother broke the agreement first, knowing that she was in the wrong, and said in an awkward whisper: "You can't blame me for this. Who told you to protect me like a treasure and not even show me the photos? How could I not be curious?"

Ever since she found out that her eldest son had given birth to a beautiful woman, she had been anxiously thinking about it. She was worried about it all day and couldn't even sleep well.

Coincidentally, she was following a novel with a similar plot: the mother-in-law gave money to her daughter-in-law Kuku, so that even if the daughter-in-law wanted to leave, she would be too embarrassed to ask for it because of the money.

Chi's mother immediately put her knowledge into practice and acted quickly to arrange a meeting with Lin Qingmian.

She was not justified but confident, "It's not my fault anyway."

“…”

Then, Chi's mother changed the subject and took the opportunity to blame Chi Tingsi, "Qingmian won't run away, why are you making such a fuss? You should also change your bad temper. No wonder no one wants you for so many years."

The veins on Chi Tingsi's forehead were throbbing, but he didn't dare to say anything in rebuttal. Years of experience told him that silence was the best response.

[Although, the eldest brother was really afraid that his sister-in-law would run away, he took great pains to coax her into getting the marriage certificate with him. 】

How does the song go:

Can we still

Can we meet again?

I have prayed to the Buddha for thousands of years.

These lyrics are a true portrayal of Big Brother. 】

Chi Tingsi could no longer bear it. He couldn't scold his mother, but he could still scold his brother. He turned his head and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Qi, what are you talking about?"

The off-tune sound jumped back and forth in his ears, making him dizzy.

If you don't beat him for three days, the tiles on the roof will fall off.

How dare you tease your elder brother? Where is your manners?

Did you feed the dog?

Chi Qi blinked innocently, "Ah? Brother, I didn't say anything."

Chi Tingsi stared at Chi Qi with a strange look, as if some monster was living in his brother's body.

Did you hear it wrong?

How is that possible?

[Tsk, big brother always takes it out on me.] 】

[Dad's temper wasn't as bad even during menopause. Mom was right. My eldest brother is like a fire-breathing dragon, breathing fire everywhere. In the novel, a brother with such a bad temper would have his wife burned to death in the crematorium. 】

[I almost forgot that the world I live in is a novel. Let me find the plot about my eldest brother. 】

What the hell is this?

Did Xiaoqi become stupid from reading too many novels?

Chi Tingsi was about to scold him, but in a split second he suddenly realized -

Chi Qi seemed... not to open his mouth.

He looked stunned and subconsciously turned to look at Chi's mother, just in time to meet her shocked gaze.

Mother Chi was confused, because she was sure and certain that Xiaoqi did not open his mouth just now, but the voice was indeed Xiaoqi's. Could it be that... what she heard was Xiaoqi's inner voice?

This was too absurd and bizarre. This realization made Chi's mother shudder. She always felt that there were dirty things in the hospital in broad daylight.

The ward fell into an eerie silence.

Chi Qi was a thick-skinned man and didn't notice anything was wrong with the two of them. He was recalling the plot with great interest. It was a magical phenomenon, which he had just discovered. As long as he concentrated and tried hard to recall, fragments of the original text would appear in his mind.

Chi Qi: “Hey!”

No need to write down the plot in a notebook, that’s great!

[Wow, I'm dying of laughter. Big brother is really good at making up stories.] 】

[A selfish father, an indifferent mother, a spoiled sister...tsk tsk tsk, the elder brother will do anything to win over his sister-in-law. 】

You don’t know until you see it. It’s shocking.

Chi Qi happily made a goose cry in his heart, but when he saw the next line of words, he was no longer happy.

[The brother with cerebral palsy and the broken him? ! 】

Chi Tingsi: “…”

Puchi, hearing this, Chi's mother couldn't help laughing out loud. It turned out that happiness would not disappear, it would only be transferred to other people's faces.

When Chi Qi was about to look up, she quickly tried to hold back her expression and pretended to be clueless.

[My mind is obviously normal. It seems that my elder brother not only has a bad temper but is also pretentious. I originally wanted to tell him the news about his love rival, but now it seems that there is no need. 】

[My elder brother has ruined my reputation so unscrupulously. I will not repay evil with kindness. I will pray to Buddha tomorrow and curse him to have more stumbling blocks on his love path. 】

Chi Xiaoxinqi wrote down his grudge in a small notebook.

Chi Tingsi: “…”

"Xiao Si." Mother Chi patted Chi Tingsi's shoulder, fearing that he would stage a scene of fratricide in the ward, "Okay, let Xiao Qi take a rest."

"Let's go out first."

After Chi's mother said this, Chi Tingsi had no choice but to stay any longer and followed her out of the ward.
