Chu Qi felt that Qiu Mu was not in a good state, but she did not ask rashly. She looked at Qiu Mu with a slightly excited expression, just like a young person who entered her boyfriend's room for the first time.

"This is my first time visiting your house."

Qiu Mu's eyes flickered when he heard this, and a blush slowly crept up his cheeks. His hands hung stiffly at his sides, and he lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Chu Qi: "I didn't have time to clean up the room, it's a bit messy."

"It's not messy. Isn't it quite neat?"

Chu Qi's eyes scanned the room.

This is a very ordinary house. The space is not large. Half of the room is used for a bed, and the other half is used for a desk, with an aisle in the middle for people to walk.

There were not many things on the bed, just a black pillow and a quilt.

The quilt seemed to have not been washed for a long time. Chu Qi had good eyesight and could see some black stains on it.

The room had no windows and the overall color scheme was black and white. When Qiu Mu came in, the lights were on.

The light was as bright as day, illuminating the small room very brightly.

If the lights were not on, Chu Qi concluded that this place would be very dark and depressing.

Does Qiu Mu sleep in this room every day?

Isn’t this too uncomfortable?

If Chu Qi were to live here, she would definitely not be able to bear it. It would be better for her to move out and live somewhere else.

"I forgot to make the bed."

Qiu Mu became more and more nervous, his eyelashes trembling uneasily. His thin body stood behind the door, exuding a lonely temperament, as if isolated from the world.

The original owner and Qiu Mu’s communication in reality was limited to the hotel.

In fact, I don’t know Qiu Mu very well.

If Chu Qi wants to complete the redemption mission, she can only rely on herself to explore.

"Where is your uncle?"

Chu Qi decided to start with the first suspicious point.

Qiu Mu seemed to be tired of standing. He slid down the door and onto the floor, hugging his legs. "Uncle is in the kitchen... No, it's time for lunch. Uncle should be in the room."

He raised his head and quickly glanced at the man standing in front of his desk, his eyes showing mixed emotions: "We have to speak softly and not disturb our uncle, otherwise he will be unhappy..."

Qiu Mu mentioned several times not to make his uncle unhappy. Did something happen during this period?

Chu Qi squatted down and looked at Qiu Mu gently, "May I ask, is your uncle my biological uncle? When we get married in the future, we need to go through both parents, so why not let me meet your parents in advance?"

"marry....?"

Qiu Mu repeated it softly. He couldn't remember whether he had mentioned the topic of marriage. His head hurt a little when he stayed at home. "Uncle doesn't like to meet other people. You don't need to tell him about our affairs."

"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to get some sleep?"

Chu Qi came here to build relationships with Qiu Mu, so naturally she followed Qiu Mu's feelings.

"Sleep for a while?"

Qiu Mu looked up at Chu Qi, thought for a moment, stood up and took off his clothes, then bent down in front of Chu Qi, staring at him with confused eyes: "Why don't you take off your clothes? Do you want me to help you like last time?"

The hot breath sprayed on her legs and Chu Qi took a step back.

She thought Qiu Mu might have misunderstood something, so she pointed at the bed sheet and said, "You can sleep for a while. I'll stay here to watch over you."

Qiu Mu tilted his head to confirm, and after confirming that the man really didn't mean that, he nodded, but did not go back to his bed to sleep. Instead, he crawled under the bed, curled up his body, and actually planned to fall asleep like that.

"Qiu Mu, why are you sleeping here..."

Chu Qi stared at Qiu Mu in silence.

She followed Qiu Mu and knelt on the ground, looking at the narrow floor.

The floor was mopped clean and there was no dust. However, there was no quilt or pillow inside. Is it really okay to sleep in it?

"Shh, don't talk. Mom said you can't make any noise when you sleep." Qiu Mu lay flat on his back with his head resting on the cold, stiff floor tiles.

He whispered and quickly closed his eyes. He seemed really sleepy and stopped moving after closing his eyes.

If his chest hadn't been rising and falling, it would have been easy to doubt whether he was dead.

Qiu Mu fell asleep, which was a good opportunity for Chu Qi as she could explore the house freely.

The information says that Qiu Mu’s inferiority complex stems from his childhood experiences.

The walls of this room are dilapidated and the furniture seems to be quite old.

This is most likely the home where Qiu Mu lived since he was a child.

There must be a lot of clues about his childhood hidden in his home.

Chu Qi left the room and first went into the kitchen to take a look.

A thick layer of dust had accumulated on the gas stove in the kitchen, as had all the kitchen utensils.

Then they came to another room, Qiu Mu said that his uncle might be here.

Chu Qi tentatively touched the huge lock on the door handle.

Very strong, this lock firmly locks the room and there is no possibility of entering.

Moreover, Chu Qi noticed that the door of this room had accumulated a lot of dust, and it must have not been used for a long time.

Where is the uncle he was talking about?

The house was not big, and Chu Qi looked for places where people could hide, and finally determined that there might be only one person living here.

That is, Qiu Mu himself.

Back in Qiu Mu's room, he was still sleeping under the bed.

Chu Qi didn't want to wake him up by force, so she just sat on the desk and rested for a while.

She didn't stir anything on the desk.

More than an hour later, Qiu Mu woke up.

He slowly crawled out from under the bed.

At this time, Chu Qi was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Qiu Mu noticed him the first time he went out.

He paused, his expression confused for a moment, but soon the confusion turned into sudden enlightenment: I remembered.

Chu Qi was looking up various upgrade and monster-killing strategies for the holographic game on her phone. When she heard the noise behind her, she turned off her phone and looked behind her:

"You're awake."

"Um...."

Qiu Mu moved closer to her boyfriend, as if wanting to be closer to him.

Chu Qi simply put her arm around his shoulders. The original owner was 1.81 meters tall, and he sat next to Qiu Mu, who was less than 1.7 meters tall.

The latter was made to look much smaller.

Qiu Mu felt the man's strong arms around him, his heartbeat suddenly quickened, and he couldn't help but soften and lean against him.

The topics of conversation between the two of them before were mostly about games.

They didn't meet in the holographic game, but in another online game.

Later, when holographic games came out, the two began to add each other as friends through holographic games.

Qiu Mu is not very fond of games and has explored them even less.

His account was only level 3. There was nothing good in the warehouse, only a bunch of flowers and small decorations given to him by the original owner.

These things can be taken out and planted in the copies you own.

The novice village copy where Qiu Mu was located was bare, and it was obvious that no flowers were planted.
