Qi Heng played...
Chapter 324
If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it, Qi Xi reached out to shake him.
"Father Xiong, get up."
"I'm awake." Qi Heng yawned to cover it up.
Normally, Qi Xi would wake up as soon as he moved, but today he was a little slow to react.
He thought it was just a sleepless night, so why was he so tired? "Did you sleep well last night?"
"I slept very well."
Very good, it seems that the kid didn’t hear anything last night.
Yes, the mental barrier is still useful. It is enough to isolate all discordant sounds tightly and ensure that they will not be transmitted out at all.
Qi Heng was lost in thought.
Qi Xi, who was beside him, couldn't wait to pounce on him and said in a baby voice, "Father Xiong, I need to go to the toilet."
Qi Heng pressed his eyebrows and let the koala hang on his body, "Got it."
He was the only one holding the kid's hand, and it was clear that he didn't show any carelessness, as he was also afraid that the kid would fall.
When they passed by Chu Xiu's bed, Qi Xi was a little curious: "Male father, why is there no quilt on female father's bed?"
In fact, not only was there no quilt, the entire bed was empty with only the bed frame left.
“…”
"Take it and wash it." He said casually.
Qi Xi thought about how he had wet the bed and soiled the quilt, and his father had taken it to wash. "Is it soiled?"
Qi Heng said "hmm", took a step forward, and walked out of the dormitory in three or two steps.
"Hero father, you forgot about the basin."
He stopped, turned around and picked up the washbasin containing the toiletries.
In the public bathroom on the floor.
"Here." Qi Heng took out a toothbrush and squeezed toothpaste on it. After handing it over, he poured a lot of water into the cup and basin.
"Thank you, father."
Qi Xi was very slow in washing his face and brushing his teeth, but since he learned how to do it, he no longer asked him and Chu Xiu for help. Apart from the slow speed, there was no other problem.
Taking advantage of this break, Qi Heng also washed his face.
He wiped the water droplets from his face, and his mind, which was a little groggy after waking up, immediately became much clearer.
After a while, Qi Xi spat out the last mouthful of water.
"Father Xiong, I'm fine."
Qi Heng handed over a wet towel that had been wrung out.
Qi Xi rubbed the small towel on his face a few times, looked up at him, and said, "Wipe it too, Father Xiong."
"good."
Qi Heng took the towel and wiped it symbolically, then washed the towel in front of Qi Xi's satisfied smile.
Washing towels is a strenuous job and is not something a little kid like Qi Xi can do.
"If you want to eat breakfast, you have to hurry up," he said, picking up the cub with one hand. "If you wait any longer, you won't even be able to catch the leftovers."
"Then please hurry up, father. I don't want any nutrients."
Qi Xi knew that if he missed breakfast, he would have to drink nutritional supplements, so he hurriedly urged him: "Today we have something delicious, something I haven't eaten before."
"Do you know what to eat this morning?"
"Where did you hear that from?"
Qi Xi sold out his teammates without hesitation, "Brother Feng Qi said so."
Less than two days after arriving, Qi Xi successfully became friends with the female insects in the training camp by relying on her cute, sweet and likable looks, as well as her lively, cheerful and outgoing personality.
But for a cub, delicious food is the most attractive thing.
The meals in the training camp were fixed every week, and after a few weeks of training, they knew what they would eat that day. So when Feng Qi and the others discovered the cub's preferences, they generously shared them with Qi Xi.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, Qi Heng took some according to Qi Xi's taste.
Seeing that Qi Xi couldn't stop eating, I knew that today's breakfast did not disappoint Qi Xi.
Qi Xi eats fairly quickly, but not slowly either. Every time Qi Heng finishes his meal, he still has a lot left.
After eating a sweet bun, Qi Xi said, "Father Xiong, you can go back first."
"You won't go back with me."
"Then the dormitory isn't fun." Qi Xi gave him a flattering smile, "I have somewhere else I want to go. I can also go play with Brother Feng Qi and the others at noon."
Qi Heng was helpless.
It's been just a few days since I came out, and I've become a little wild.
But it’s not a bad thing.
I feel a little sleepy today, so I can take a nap while the kid is playing by himself.
The loss of mental strength cannot be recovered in a short period of time. Even if your situation is different from that of ordinary male insects, you still need proper rest.
Sleeping is the most relaxing, comfortable and fastest way to restore mental strength, no doubt about it.
Qi Heng didn't want to drink the potion that promoted the recovery of mental strength. Not only was it expensive and tasted bad, it also had some side effects.
"Finish eating and remember to clean up after eating."
"Yeah, don't worry, Father Xiong, I know."
Qi Xi chuckled, extremely confident, "We can't waste food."
"I remember everything you said to your mother-in-law."
Qi Heng laughed dumbly, and before he stood up and left, he warned: "If you've had enough fun, come back, and don't look for your...female father."
"Okay, goodbye, Father Xiong." Qi Xi waved and saw him off.
As soon as Qi Heng left the cafeteria, Qi Xi, who had been eating slowly just now, quickened his chewing pace.
If I don’t eat quickly, I’ll miss the practical combat class that Youyou mentioned.
After finishing his meal and drinking the sweet mung bean soup, Qi Xi jumped off the stool and reached for the plate on the table.
He took the plate in his hand and ran to the recycling area with his short legs.
As soon as he put the plate down, he turned around and ran out of the cafeteria.
A0 saw Qi Xi's actions through the cafeteria's surveillance equipment and spoke through the optical computer worn on Qi Xi's wrist.
【You should walk slowly. What if you fall if you run so fast?】
"No, I'm running very steadily."
【……】
A0: Naughty little brat, you'll just cry if you fall down one day.
Forget it, let’s not do that.
If the brat could still fall and cry and get hurt in front of his own eyes, he would definitely be despised as useless by the Lord.
"Youyou, has your body arrived?"
【Here we are, here we are. We arrived last night.】
Qi Xi's expression became more excited, "That's great."
It turned out that A0 was right. When Qi Xi arrived outside the classroom, the time was just right.
Outside the combat practice classroom, Qi Xi, supported by a robotic arm, stepped onto a half-meter-tall robot and quietly looked into the classroom through the window.
A0, who specially sent his physical peripherals just to serve as a stool for the kid, said that he had really endured too much.
Fortunately, I am an AI, otherwise I would definitely ask the Lord to give me a raise.
——Bug cubs are so difficult to take care of.
——Especially the little bugs who are spoiled by their parents and elders and don’t know how to write the word “fear”
Qi Xi thought he was hiding well, but in fact all the female insects in the classroom had discovered him.
Everyone is familiar with this little bug that loves to run around.
When they discovered the bug cub lying outside and peeking, everyone subconsciously looked at the instructor who was instructing them.
The instructor didn't react at all.
Well, since the instructors don't mind, then they have nothing to say.
But how did this little insect climb so high? You should know that the height of the windowsill is much higher than the height of the little insect. It must not be stepping on something unstable and dangerous.
The instructor in charge of the classroom was Ling Qi. He had been checking the surveillance equipment in the training camp, and he had seen the bug cub peeking with its butt sticking out through the surveillance camera in the corridor early in the morning.
Well, not only did I see it.
I also saw a small robot underneath the insect cub helping to lift it up high.
The tiny robot had higher authority than them, and it was obvious that it had a controller. After knowing this, Ling Qi turned a blind eye to the existence of the insect cub.
Ling Qi said: "Everyone, please focus."
"You've all just watched my demonstration and explanation. Now I'll randomly select two people to come up for a battle drill."
For a moment, none of the female insects present dared to desert.
The instructors are very strict during training. If they are caught distracted or slacking off, they will be beaten to death if they don't die.
…
While Qi Heng went back to the dormitory to catch up on his sleep, Qi Xi wandered around the training camp and didn't find the practical training boring even after watching the whole morning.
I went to have lunch with my female father at noon, but found that he was busy in the office. I turned around and ran to the dormitory building where Feng Qi and his friends were to play with them.
With A0 to guide him, he has no worries about getting lost.
After lunch break, I still had the energy to follow Feng Qi and the others to the training ground. Later, I was really tired, so I found an empty classroom to sit in under A0's guidance.
Qi Xi gave a very satisfactory review on this.
——It’s really enjoyable to watch cartoons on the big screen in the classroom.
"I want to see something else, Youyou, is there anything new?"
[No, only replays.]
"All right."
The cartoon characters on the big screen attracted all of Qi Xi's attention. Children never get tired of watching cartoons, and this was clearly demonstrated in Qi Xi.
An afternoon passed quietly.
"I can't watch this anymore." A0 said, turning off the cartoon.
[It's time to go eat. Your father-in-law sent you a message.]
Although Qi Xi was still a little unsatisfied, he knew Youyou was right, "My mother-in-law asked me where I was."
A0 reports a string of classroom numbers.
Qi Xi quickly sent a voice message to his mother-in-law, and then said without hesitation: "Thank you, Youyou. What would I do without you?"
You have such a sweet mouth.
Even AI has to admit that this is a sweet little cub, completely different from his parents.
Soon, Chu Xiu appeared at the classroom door.
"Father..." Qi Xi ran towards him and grabbed his hand, "I can go to the cafeteria by myself. I know the way."
"It's okay if you don't come to pick me up."
Although he said that, Qi Xi was still very happy to see his female father coming.
Chu Xiu looked towards the empty classroom and asked, "You've been here all afternoon."
"Uh-huh."
Chu Xiu spoke as they walked.
"Isn't it boring?"
"No, I'm not bored at all." Qi Xi felt a little guilty.
You know, my father-in-law told me not to watch cartoons for too long. If he knew that I watched cartoons for the whole afternoon, he would definitely think I was disobedient.
"Oh right, Father, are you going to take Brother Feng Qi and the others to class tonight?"
Although he was too young to know what changing the subject meant, he had already learned it by himself and was referring to Qi Xi.
"Um."
Thinking of the rapidly familiar relationship between Qi Xi and Feng Qi, Chu Xiu was not surprised that he knew.
"Then I want to go too."
"Okay, sire."
"Go if you want to."
"Great—"
"I knew you would agree, father." Qi Xi jumped up, looking delighted.
Chu Xiu was caught off guard and staggered by Qi Xi's sudden movement.
His arm was pulled forward, and the whole movement was so big that the glands on the back of his neck were involved. The wound that had not yet healed was causing a hidden pain.
Qi Xi didn't notice anything was wrong and continued to mutter, "Father Xiong won't let me find you."
When it came to His Majesty, Chu Xiu was stunned. His mouth was faster than his brain.
"Why."
"Xizi doesn't know." Qi Xi pulled him with both hands, tilting her head to look cute. "Xizi only knows that her female father won't mind, so she won't listen to her male father."
Chu Xiu actually regretted asking this question.
It was obvious that Qi Xiwen wouldn't be able to come up with an answer. Thinking about it again, it was just the same reasons that he had heard many times before.
It can’t be because…
"Father?"
When Chu Xiu came to his senses, he saw Qi Xi looking at him strangely.
"Sorry, my father-in-law was distracted."
Qi Xi scratched the back of his head and said whatever came to his mind, "The female father is also very strange."
"So is Xiongfu."
"——Could it be that you, the female father, and the male father had a quarrel?"
I don’t know what Qi Xi was thinking, he actually came up with this idea.
"No, don't let your imagination run wild."
Chu Xiu was originally immersed in his own thoughts, but when he heard Qi Xi's words, he was a little amused.
"Who taught you all this nonsense? Your father and I, well, are good."
"You really didn't quarrel?"
"No." Chu Xiu said firmly.
Seeing that Qi Xi was no longer bothered by this matter, Chu Xiu felt relieved.
He knew that his own insect cubs had a short memory, and even if they noticed something strange, they would quickly forget it.
But Chu Xiu had not anticipated the new friends Qi Xi would make.
That night.
Before the evening self-study begins, the classroom where Chu Xiu will attend class tonight.
Qi Xi entered the classroom from the back door and looked around. When he saw a familiar figure waving at him, he quickly ran in that direction.
"Brother Feng Qi, I'm here."
"I just saw you leaving with the chief instructor, and I thought you would come later." Feng Qi picked him up and put him on the stool.
There were several classes taught by Chu Xiu mixed together in tonight's class, including Feng Qi's class.
Qi Xi replied: "My father's office is boring."
Chu Xiu usually arrives in the classroom five minutes before class starts, and only stays in the office at this time.
"It's still more lively here."
"Aren't you glad I came to you?"
Feng Qi smiled and said, "Of course not. We can't wait to welcome you back."
"I knew it."
Qi Xi smiled proudly, his eyebrows curved, "I tell you, the female father has agreed."
"So I'll go to class with you tonight, and then go back with the female father after class."
The classroom was not very quiet, and they did not deliberately lower their voices, so many female insects around could hear them.
However, although Qi Xi's arrival attracted the attention of some female insects, only the female insects sitting with Feng Qi and the others would tease Qi Xi, and the other female insects did not come over rashly.
Most of them took a quick look and then looked away.
"Xizi, did you feel anything different about the chief instructor today?" Feng Qi thought of his discovery during the afternoon training and asked in a low voice that only they could hear.
"The female father?"
Qi Xi frowned and thought about it, feeling a little confused.
"Different, what is different?"
"Forehead."
Feng Qi hesitated for a moment, and faced with the innocent-looking boy, he felt a sense of guilt.
I couldn't ask what I wanted to ask originally.
