Chapter 40
Chi's mother scolded, "Oh, Xiaoqi, I've told you so many times not to crawl around in the dark and twisted places in the house, and not to steal the work of the robot vacuum cleaner."
She seemed unable to understand and raised her voice a few notes, "So not only did you climb by yourself, you also led others to climb?"
That's a bit too much!
She looked down at Xie Mu who was still lying on the ground and sighed inwardly. He looked steady and reliable, but how could he have been assimilated and driven crazy just after arriving?
Chi Qi blinked, slowly got up from the ground, and explained innocently, "Mom, my headphones fell under the bed."
It must be fake, I don’t believe it.
Mother Chi turned her head away and didn't bother to pay attention to him. After all, this seemingly well-behaved son in front of her was actually a habitual offender with a long criminal record. He always actively admitted his mistakes on the surface, but would dare to do it again next time behind his back. She couldn't help but suspect him.
The two were in a stalemate, neither of them could convince the other.
The deadlock was broken by Xie Mu.
Xie Mu, who finally reached the earphone, withdrew his arm. He stood up like a rising sun, and suddenly inserted himself between the two people who were still confronting each other. He opened his palm to reveal a white earphone.
With physical evidence, Chi Qi was like a fox taking advantage of the tiger's might, with his tail raised high in the air. He pointed at the headphones and shouted, "Mom, look, look!"
[You really wronged me!] 】
Mother Chi looked at the two of them, shook her head, said nothing, and turned away.
Probably because I'm mentally tired.
The door was closed again, and Chi Qi turned around and said sincerely: "Thank you."
He felt that the distance between him and the other person had shortened a little.
[Xie Mu looks unkind, but unexpectedly he is actually a nice person. Under his cold appearance, he has a warm heart! 】
Chi Qi sincerely sighed, "You are such a good person!"
After working hard for a long time, Xie Mu was happy to get the good guy card, "..."
ber, there is always a feeling of working in vain.
Xie Mu said with a slightly strange expression: "You are also a good person."
Chi Qi patted his shoulder and said frankly: "Yes, we are all great!"
“…”
Forget it, let’s change the subject.
Xie Mu lowered his eyes. The floor where the boy had been lying was indeed cleaner. He asked, "It was wiped very clean. The floor was reflecting light. What does your mother dislike about you?"
"ah?"
Unexpectedly, Xie Mu would ask him directly. Chi Qi opened his mouth in surprise. After a moment, he scratched his head and said uncertainly: "Well... you dislike my work efficiency is not high enough."
“…”
There was no way to chat today.
Xie Mu turned around and remembered the purpose of his visit. "Let's go eat. The food is ready."
"good!"
The two went downstairs together, and Chi Qi happily jumped to the dining table, pulled out a bench and sat down.
Chi Tingsi and his father were still in the company, so not many dishes were prepared, but they were all his favorites.
[I want mountains, I want the sea, I want freedom, just kidding, I want to eat~]
He was hungry after sleeping for an afternoon. Chi Qi looked at the delicacies on the table with shining eyes. He felt that every dish was beckoning to him, tempting him to taste it.
[Any time, any place, hungry ghost Xiaochi, eat seriously! 】
Chi's mother was so annoyed by the noise that she interrupted his inner thoughts and asked, "Have you washed your hands?"
"Of course I washed my hands!" Chi Qi muttered softly, "When have I never washed my hands before a meal?"
He couldn't wait to finish his food, and was so absorbed in it that he didn't notice two burning gazes falling on him.
Looking at the boy's bulging cheeks, Xie Mu thought that Chi Qi being a food broadcaster would be a good choice. As he thought about it, he became distracted until he bit his chopsticks and hurt his teeth before he reacted.
His strong psychological quality prevented him from showing any panic or embarrassment. Xie Mu went to pick up the food without changing his expression, and no one noticed what had just happened to him.
When he was almost done eating, Chi Qi took the time to raise his head and met Chi's mother's indescribable complex expression.
[Mom, why do you look at me like that?] 】
He touched the corner of his mouth subconsciously.
[No rice grains were touched at all. How strange.] 】
Chi's mother: "..."
It’s all because of you!
Diagonally opposite her, Xie Mu sat with his back straight, his posture elegant, and ate slowly without making any noise. In contrast, her youngest son looked impatient, as if he hadn't eaten for eight hundred years. The two formed a huge contrast.
It is really hard not to make comparisons between Chi's mother, especially the secret rivalry between her and Shen Wanji.
After finishing most of the meal, Chi Qi slumped in his chair with a blank look in his eyes, feeling satisfied.
[Wow~ The only thing I can’t let go of in my life is chopsticks. 】
Aunt Sun came over with a tray in her hand, "Xiao Qi, would you like some dessert? I baked your favorite cookies."
Chi Qi immediately nodded happily, "Okay, okay."
Thinking of the new guest at home, Aunt Sun politely asked, "Would Mr. Xie like to eat?"
Xie Mu nodded.
"Xiao Qi, let the guests choose first." Chi's mother tapped his paw with chopsticks. It was not because she was partial or anything, but if Chi Qi was allowed to eat first, he would finish all the cookies in minutes.
"All right."
Chi Qi pursed his lips and watched his beloved cookie moving further and further away from him.
Xie Mu picked up a biscuit at random and was about to take it when he heard a sad wailing. He looked over and saw Chi Qi's eyes were full of reluctance and deep, inextricable sadness.
[Ahhh, don’t take this piece, I like to eat it. 】
Xie Mu's movements paused, and he turned to pick up the biscuit next to him. His wailing became louder, and in a trance there was a sound of heartbreak.
[Ahhh, no, I like this too. 】
Xie Mu changed again, but the wailing still did not stop.
[Ahhh, there is only one cookie of this flavor. I hate you(>
Xie Mu: “…”
I understand. I like them all, but I can’t eat any of them.
Xie Mu stopped and made an excuse, "I'm already feeling full, so I won't eat."
After saying that, he considerately pushed the tray in front of Chi Qi, and was then awarded 2 Good Guy Cards.
Next to them, Chi's mother, who had listened to the entire process, was speechless.
She sighed again, fortunately it was her true feelings. If others heard these words, they would definitely accuse the Chi family of abusing their own child and not giving him food.
After dinner, Chi Qi returned to the room, fell back on the bed, and rubbed his bloated stomach.
My phone vibrated. It was a message from An Xun.
[An Xun]: Didi.
[Chi Qi]: I’m very busy, please don’t disturb me.
[An Xun]: What can you do?
[Chi Qi]: If I say I’m busy, then I’m busy. Why are you asking me what I’m busy with? Maybe I was busy smiling and crying, busy chasing shooting stars in the sky.
[An Xun]: ...crazy.
[Chi Qi]: I was infected by you, do you think you are normal?
[An Xun]: ...Believe it or not, I can crawl over along the Internet cable and slap you.
[Chi Qi]: I don’t believe it.
[An Xun]: Come out and open the door.
[Chi Qi]:?
[An Xun]: I'm downstairs from your house (smile.jpg)
Chi Qi thought An Xun was threatening him. Just as he was about to type, he heard Chi's mother's enthusiastic voice from downstairs, "A Xun is here, Xiao Qi is upstairs."
Then there was the sound of hurried footsteps.
[Damn, did it really crawl along the network cable?] 】
Before Chi Qi could figure out how to respond, An Xun broke into the room, locked onto the man lying on the bed, ran over, pinned him down and started beating him up.
"Fuck, it hurts, are you really going to do it?" Chi Qi rolled over and took the opportunity to ask, "Then what about the good times we've had over the years?"
An Xun said, "It's seaweed."
“…”
Chi Qi covered his head and hid while asking, "What are you doing here?"
An Xun rolled his eyes. "My dad took me to his house, and then I was annoyed by An Xiao hanging around me every day, so I came to you and hide here for a few days."
Chi Qi shook his head and refused, "I don't want to take you in. I'm annoyed when I see you."
Anyway, it's just a fake plastic brotherhood that is dispensable.
An Xun waved his fist and said, "Say it again."
Chi Qi knew the situation and kept silent. He moved to the inside of the bed and gestured for someone to sit down.
An Xun snorted proudly, bounced on the soft bed, and praised casually: "Your mattress has several layers, it's very comfortable, and the floor is also very clean."
"It was just mopped, how can it not be clean?"
"You are really diligent then." An Xun yawned and said lazily, "I am sleepy. I will go to the room next to yours to sleep. You can bring the bed and quilt for me."
Chi Qi stopped him and said, "Wait, there's someone in that room."
An Xun looked back and asked, "You're supporting another man behind my back?"
When you meet someone after three days, you should look at him with new eyes. That’s amazing!
Chi Qi was very upset at his slander and retorted: "How can I afford to support a man? And if I do, how can I only support one?"
“That makes sense.”
Since the room next door was occupied, An Xun made a new decision decisively, "Then I'll sleep in your bed."
"Where should I sleep if you sleep in my bed?"
"Sleep on the floor."
Chi Qi pointed at himself and stared at An Xun in disbelief. "In my house, you slept in my bed and made me sleep on the floor. Do you think you can be reasonable?"
An Xun took possession of the quilt with a righteous attitude, "No need to talk about it."
Chi Qi: “.”
Damn it, I'm going to call the police and have you arrested!
*
At night, Chi Qi, who had eaten too many biscuits, was awakened by thirst. He picked up the teapot, which was very light and empty of water, probably because An Xun had drunk it all.
There was no choice, Chi Qi staggered out of bed and planned to go to the first floor to find water.
His mind was in a daze and his eyelids were too heavy to open, so he groped forward with his eyes half closed, relying entirely on his sense of touch to get down the stairs.
After arriving at the living room safely, Chi Qi casually picked up a cup to get some water, pressed the button of the water dispenser, and the sound of flowing water was heard.
It was unusually clear in the quiet villa.
A few seconds later, Chi Qi opened his eyes. No, why was the sound of flowing water clanging? Shouldn't it be rustling?
He released the button, but the clanging sound did not stop.
"……?"
Chi Qi's breath caught in his throat, he clenched the cup in his hand, turned slowly, and saw a vague figure.
A breeze blew, as if an invisible hand brushed across his head. His brain went blank for an instant, and Chi Qi was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, his heart beating like a drum.
[Oh my god, there’s a ghost!] 】
His feet were nailed to the spot and he dared not move at will. He was afraid that the figure would notice that there was a living person here, so he even breathed lightly.
However, what you fear will come true. In a trance, he noticed a figure walking towards... towards him!
Chi Qi, "SOS!!!"
Chi Qi's hair stood on end, but he dared not make a sound and could only pray in his heart.
「Don’t come over here, don’t come over here, ahhhh——」
However, his devout prayers were of no use, as the figure showed no sign of letting him go and was gradually approaching him.
The scene was so horrifying that Chi Qi covered his eyes in fear.
[It’s over, my chat history hasn’t been deleted yet…]
When the distance was less than one meter, the figure stopped. Through the gaps between his fingers, he found that the figure seemed to have a solid body and was estimated to be a head taller than him.
Just when Chi Qi thought he was doomed tonight, the figure did not take the next step.
[Stop dithering. If I want to kill you, I’ll do it to you immediately!] 】
The unknown wait was very torturous. Chi Qi wanted to be relieved and put down the hands that were covering his eyes.
He was ready to face the terrifying figure...
"Thank you, Mu!"
A familiar voice came from above, "Yes, it's me."
"What are you doing up at night?"
[You are playing tricks on me. Do you know that I am scared to death by you?
(*￣m￣)! 】
Chi Qi recalled how useless he was just now and couldn't help but accuse him, "Why didn't you turn on the light?"
Xie Mu lowered his eyelashes, "I couldn't find the light switch."
[Damn, I forgot to tell him during the day.] 】
The light switch in his house is designed to be quite hidden, and it is not easy to find if you don't pay attention.
Ultimately, Chi Qi was half responsible for this matter. He couldn't get angry, nor could he find anyone to blame.
What could he blame Xie Mu for?
