Small talk

"I don't know, maybe both. I almost got scared to death by the three-comb bull just now, and I'm still feeling the fear." Qiu Zimu placed the three-comb bull on the table and gently touched its tentacles. "Brother Liu, why aren't you sleeping?"

"Ye Jing'an was talking in his sleep and hitting people." Liu Muzhe said.

"Then stay away from him. Ye Jing'an's beatings hurt." Qiu Zimu filled his glass with wine. "Brother Liu, um...how did you feel when Ye Jing'an was injured?"

"How do you feel about Wang Zhiyi being injured?" Liu Muzhe asked instead of answering.

"I can't describe it, it's so uncomfortable." Qiu Zimu frowned. He couldn't even describe what he felt exactly at that time.

"Isn't this what happens when close friends get hurt? Are you happy that Ye Jingan was injured?" Liu Muzhe said with a smile.

"That's right." Qiu Zimu asked, "How long will it take for Wang Zhiyi to recover?"

"I'll be able to talk to you tonight. It will take about a month for me to fully recover, after all, my bones are broken." Liu Muzhe said.

"Brother Liu, what does it feel like to like someone?" Qiu Zimu asked.

"To be honest, I really can't explain it clearly if you ask me." Liu Muzhe laughed dumbly, took a sip of wine and thought carefully, not knowing how to describe it to Qiu Zimu.

"Then you and Ye Jingan should be together..." Qiu Zimu hesitated to speak.

"I was completely confused at the time. Ye Jing'an's threats were too sophisticated. I couldn't leave, but I really didn't want to leave him." Liu Muze gossiped, "Do you like Wang Zhiyi?"

"No way, I like girls. I have never had any feelings for boys since I was a child." Qiu Zimu said.

"Then what have you been struggling with?" Liu Muzhe asked.

"I don't know..." Qiu Zimu frowned, "How did Brother Liu find out that he liked Ye Jing'an?"

"When Ye Jing'an died." Liu Muzhe said, "Don't think about it. When the time comes, everything will become clear. It's useless to think about it now. Just get along normally in the way that makes you feel comfortable."

"Well, what Brother Liu said makes sense." Qiu Zimu took a sip of wine, "Brother Liu, can we chat?"

"What else do you want to ask? I'll try my best to answer you if I can." Liu Muzhe said.

"Brother Liu is so nice!" Qiu Zimu hesitated for a moment, "Um...Brother Liu, I want to ask, what does it feel like to kiss?"

"I take back what I said just now. Let's not talk and just drink." Liu Muzhe raised his glass with a fake smile.

"Don't be like this, Brother Liu, please tell me, I'm really curious." Qiu Zimu begged.

"You go ask Ye Jing'an." Liu Muzhe said.

"I asked him, and he told me to try it myself..." Qiu Zimu said.

Liu Muze laughed muffledly: "I can't describe it. If you want to know, just listen to him and try it."

"Can you try it whenever you want? Who should I try it with?" Qiu Zimu glared.

Liu Muze raised his eyebrows: "Wang Zhiyi?"

"Brother Liu, you did this on purpose!"

"What about Ye Jingan?"

"You won't kill me?" Qiu Zimu said speechlessly.

"Really?" Liu Muzhe said with a smile.

Qiu Zimu: "..."

"Just kidding." Liu Muzhe said.

"Brother Liu values ​​women over friends. After being with Ye Jingan, he is only nice to Ye Jingan and ignores me. You don't answer any questions I ask you, and you agree with everything Ye Jingan says..." Qiu Zimu pouted and complained in a low voice.

"No? It's not that I don't want to answer you, but the question you asked is too... really impossible to answer. If Ye Jing'an asked, I wouldn't answer him either." Liu Muzhe said.

"Biased!" Qiu Zimu ignored him at first.

"Well, a little bit." Liu Muze chuckled twice, "Then keep asking, and I'll answer you, okay?"

"Brother Liu is so nice!" Liu Muze agreed to answer. Qiu Zimu didn't know what to ask. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Is Brother Liu the passive one?"

"Do you have to ask this kind of question? You can ask me about witchcraft and sorcery, I know everything." Liu Muzhe said.

"No, I'm just curious." Qiu Zimu said.

"So do you think I'm passive or active?" Liu Muzhe asked back.

"I think Brother Liu seems to be the one who took the initiative. You are better than Ye Jing'an. However, Ye Jing'an doesn't seem like someone who would be happy to be at the bottom, so I'm very curious about what the relationship is like between you two." Qiu Zimu touched his chin and analyzed and speculated about the relationship between them.

"You're right!" Liu Muzhe said with a smile.

"One of you two is lying! Ye Jing'an insisted that he was the one in the upper position." Qiu Zimu said.

"Who do you believe?" Liu Muzhe asked.

"Brother Liu, right? Ye Jing'an will do something against his will for you." Qiu Zimu shook his head. "No, Brother Liu's personality doesn't seem like that..."

"Don't guess, this matter is pending, pending... next question." Liu Muzhe said.

"I'm just curious about the questions you refused to answer before. I don't have any other questions." Qiu Zimu said.

"Then pick the one you want to know most, and I will answer you honestly, so that you won't accuse me of putting women before friendship again." Liu Muzhe said.

"Brother Liu has always valued women over friendship. When the three of us first met, Brother Liu gave me one gift and Ye Jing'an one gift each. Later, when you and Ye Jing'an were not together yet, he started to show favoritism and secretly gave him chalcedony behind my back..." Qiu Zimu said.

"I have to explain this. At that time, I wanted to find something suitable for you to wear as a gift, but many things happened later and I forgot about it. I have found the thing. It is a piece of fragrant jade. Wearing it on your body can repel mosquitoes, but it will attract other insects, such as butterflies and beetles. It is suitable for you Gu Masters to wear. This is a good thing. It was given to me as a reward for accompanying the Gu Master to find the ghost butterfly." Liu Muzhe said.

"Really? Ahhhhh!" Qiu Zimu jumped up excitedly. He also knew about Xiangyu. This thing was too rare. Even his father couldn't get it. "I wronged Brother Liu. I'm sorry! Brother Liu is too good!"

"I am indeed a little biased towards Ye Jing'an. When I go back, I will find you some treasures that you can use." Liu Muzhe said.

"No, no, I was just saying that for fun. Don't take it seriously, Brother Liu. You two already like each other, so it's not favoritism. That fragrant jade is too valuable, and I can't have it. It's good that Brother Liu still remembers me." Qiu Zimu said with a smile.

"It's not valuable. There's no use for me to keep it. I'll give it to you when I get back." Liu Muzhe said.

"Brother Liu is so nice. No wonder Ye Jing'an likes you. I would like him too!" Qiu Zimu grinned and flattered him.

"Really?" Liu Muzhe raised his eyelids and glanced at him.

"Yeah." Qiu Zimu nodded.

"Then tell Ye Jing'an what you just said." Liu Muzhe said with a smile.

"I'm just kidding, Brother Liu, don't mess with him. Once you're involved, he'll be like a mad dog. Don't come to trouble me again and say that I seduced you." Qiu Zimu said speechlessly.

"He was just teasing you." Liu Muzhe said.

"Brother Liu...did you suspect the relationship between Ye Jing'an and me before?" Qiu Zimu asked weakly.

"No." Liu Muzhe said.

"Then when you had dinner last time..." Qiu Zimu didn't dare to continue.

"Oh, I did it on purpose. I was just teasing you." Liu Muzhe said with a smile.

"You two are treating me like a dog, right?!" Qiu Zimu rolled his eyes and said angrily.

"There's obviously nothing wrong, but you feel guilty and you still blame me?" Liu Muzhe said with a smile.

"I'm just afraid that you'll misunderstand me! Ye Jing'an and I have a very close relationship. Even if I like men, I won't like Ye Jing'an. No matter what happens in the future, Brother Liu, don't misunderstand me. I don't want you two to quarrel or have conflicts because of me." Qiu Zimu said.

"Well, Ye Jing'an mentioned this to me. Don't distance yourself from him. Just get along with him like before. I don't want Ye Jing'an to lose you as a friend because of me." Liu Muzhe said.

"I didn't distance myself from him. I just found out that he is obsessed with love. I'm too lazy to argue with him. Don't pass on the love problem to me. I'm stupid to begin with. If I get obsessed with love, I'll be cheated out of everything. I have so many treasures. I can't do that!" Qiu Zimu said.

"I don't find you stupid." Liu Muzhe couldn't help laughing when he saw him holding the jar of Gu in his pocket tightly with his hands. Not many people would snatch those bugs from him.

"Hehe...Brother Liu, do you have any way to make people grow taller?" Qiu Zimu asked.

"Yes, there is, but it's quite difficult." Liu Muzhe asked, "Do you want to grow taller?"

"Well, I'm too short." Qiu Zimu held his forehead. "Last time, Wang Zhiyi easily lifted me up and let me go. Even when I lay in his arms, I was still a head shorter. I felt so embarrassed!"

"You are still growing now and will continue to grow taller later." Liu Muzhe said.

"How tall can it grow? I want it to be 1.9 meters tall, as tall as Wang Zhiyi!" Qiu Zimu asked.

"Uh... just think about it in your dreams. I probably can't reach it. I don't have the ability to do so. I'm not even 1.9 meters tall." Liu Muzhe said.

"Okay." Qiu Zimu was silent for a while and then asked, "Has Brother Liu ever liked a girl before?"

"No." Liu Muzhe said.

"That boy?" Qiu Zimu asked curiously.

"Well...it's not a boy, it's a grown man..." Liu Muzhe said.

"Oh, so Brother Liu was gay before. Then did you agree to travel with us because you fell in love with Ye Jingan?" Qiu Zimu asked.

Liu Muzhe stared at Qiu Zimu with a squint. It was just as Ye Jingan said. Qiu Zimu was a kid who would go against you if you gave him a little trouble. He really deserved a beating.

"What's that look in your eyes? I guessed it right!" Qiu Zimu said with a smile.

"No, actually I was attracted to you at first." Liu Muzhe raised the corner of his mouth, took a sip of wine and stared at him.

Qiu Zimu paused and laughed dryly, "Brother Liu, stop joking. Hahahahahahahaha... Don't mention it to Ye Jingan. Although I'm a bit handsome, I still have my limits. Brother Liu is not my type. If you ever break up with Ye Jingan in the future, don't set your sights on me. Give up this idea as soon as possible. No, no! I'm not right. Don't break up. Stay together for life."

Seeing Qiu Zimu sweating so much that he was almost scared, Liu Muze couldn't help laughing: "No wonder you and Ye Jingan can play together, you are both shameless."

"Am I not telling the truth? What did Brother Liu like about me at that time? I changed my mind immediately!" Qiu Zimu said with a sad face.

"Look at you, you're stupid." Liu Muzhe said with a smile.

"I'm not stupid, I'm very smart, and I've almost learned all the witchcraft." Qiu Zimu said.

"Hahahahahahahahaha... I was just kidding. You're such a little kid but you're so dramatic." Liu Muzhe laughed.

"Stop teasing me, I'm scared to death!" Qiu Zimu said.

"Why are you afraid of me? I won't eat you." Liu Muzhe said.

"You are scary!" Qiu Zimu said.

"Why?" Liu Muzhe asked.

"I don't know, I just think you're scared." Qiu Zimu also felt that Brother Liu was a very good person, with a good personality and temper, but for some reason he was afraid of him from the bottom of his heart.

"You...are afraid of me?" Liu Muze stared at him sinisterly, "Did you see me eating people outside?"
