Chapter 41
Chi Qi turned on the light frustratedly, "The switch is right here."
Xie Mu hummed, "I remember it."
Bright light poured down from above. From Xie Mu's perspective, he could see the other person's slender neck and beautiful collarbone. The exposed skin was dazzlingly white.
In order to be comfortable at home, Chi Qi wore a loose large-size T-shirt that just covered his thighs, and his straight and slender calves were quite eye-catching.
It was so eye-catching that Xie Mu couldn't take his eyes away for a while.
Chi Qi finally drank the water he had been longing for. He looked up and found Xie Mu staring at his cup. He asked, "Are you thirsty too?"
Xie Mu came back to his senses, lowered his eyes calmly and looked at him.
Chi Qi opened his eyes slightly: "......?"
Xie Mu continued to look at him but did not respond.
“…”
[I'm not asking about advanced functions. Do you want to embarrass me by not replying to me? 】
[You’re still not talking. Are you thirsty or not? I'll leave if I'm not thirsty. 】
Hearing the question in his heart, Xie Mu nodded unnaturally. He didn't feel relieved until Chi Qi turned around and got a cup.
"Do you want hot water or cold water?"
"cold water."
Chi Qi came over with a cup of water, "Here you go."
Xie Mu thanked him quietly and quickly finished the water.
Then there was silence for a long while, with only the sound of the two people's breathing.
Chi Qi was the first to break the weird atmosphere, "I'm going back to my room to sleep, do you want to join me?"
Xie Mu was stunned for a moment, as if he was a little surprised. After a moment, he reacted and said, "Good night."
Chi Qi subconsciously replied, "...Good night."
[What good night? You scared me like that. I don’t know if I can fall asleep tonight. 】
They went upstairs together and returned to each other's rooms.
Chi Qi fell back on the bed with his head tilted back. He and Xie Mu had only known each other for a few days, so how come he had so many social failures?
Every time he thought he had been embarrassed enough, something even more embarrassing would happen.
[At only 18, without the help of my parents, I successfully bought a house - my defense was broken. 】
Chi Qi still underestimated the quality of his sleep. As soon as his head touched the pillow, he was overwhelmed by sleepiness.
There is no worry about not being able to sleep at all.
I slept very comfortably. When I opened my eyes, it was already bright outside. I even woke up half an hour later than usual.
He slowly got up from the bed, changed his clothes and prepared to wash his face, just as An Xun came out of the bathroom.
An Xun looked at him strangely, "You talked in your sleep last night, did you know that?"
Chi Qi paused while holding the toothbrush, and said vaguely: "You said it was just a dream, how could I know when I was asleep?"
"What did I say?"
"You are actually..." An Xun paused, and suddenly remembered something. He swallowed back what he was about to say and changed his words temporarily, "I didn't hear it clearly, it was intermittent."
"Okay." Chi Qi shrugged, "Then I must have dreamed last night, but I had no recollection of it after I woke up."
"It's normal. I feel the same way sometimes."
"By the way." An Xun calmly changed the subject and complained, "I don't want to sleep with you anymore. You sleep badly and always grab my blanket."
Chi Qi spit out the foam in his mouth, "Why don't you mention that you kicked me in the middle of the night?"
“…”
An Xun said: "You kicked me a lot in kindergarten."
Chi Qi held water in his mouth and retorted a little late, "Who kicked you? I kicked you..."
An Xun stared at his face and asked, "Who is it?"
Chi Qi had a nice set of teeth from his mother. He looked in the mirror and made sure that he had brushed them clean before replying, "I can't remember, but it wasn't you."
An Xun seemed to be thinking about something, stopped talking, sat down and started watching videos.
After Chi Qi finished washing up, he walked to the bed and found his mobile phone which was pressed under the pillow. As soon as he opened the screen, he saw a flood of messages.
What's going on?
Chi Qi flipped through the messages one by one and found out that his classmates wanted to hold a class reunion and were collecting everyone's opinions.
He asked, "Are you going to the party?"
An Xun was puzzled, "What party?"
Chi Qi turned his phone over and pointed the screen towards An Xun. "It's a class reunion. Didn't you check the class chat?"
"No, I turned on Do Not Disturb."
“…”
"Are you going this Sunday?"
"Go ahead."
"Then I'll go too."
*
The door of the box opened and a ghostly song was playing inside.
Tao Jiaji held the microphone and sang with all his might, "Falling in love with you was a mistake, losing you was a loss of my soul, it's ridiculous that fate plays a trick on me, there's no escape in this life or the next, it's not that I can't say it, it's that I dare not say it~"
An Xun whispered, "I haven't seen him for a while. How come he has become a sad puppy?"
The tail also disappeared.
He looks a bit pitiful. Has he suffered some major setback?
Chi Qi tugged at his sleeve and whispered to him, "Keep your voice down, we're at the scene. If he hits you, I won't stop him."
An Xun: "..."
I didn't expect you to stop anyone.
The monitor saw the two people coming in and greeted them warmly, "Come on, Chi Qi, An Xun, come over and play games."
Chi Qi walked over and asked, "What game?"
The monitor held up the cards in his hand and asked, "Do you want to play truth or dare?"
Chi Qi waved his hand, "No, no, no."
He is almost developing a psychological trauma about this type of game and now avoids it whenever possible.
An Xun was very excited and started playing games with a few familiar classmates.
The song was sung for a while, and now it was Chi Wanglian's turn. He was shrouded in sadness. "The heartfelt conversation at the beginning turned into a dull one. I can't wait to hear your goodnight. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me~"
Chi Qi in the corner: Ah, this song is really appropriate.
When the party was almost over, An Xun drank too much juice and wanted to go to the bathroom. Chi Qi happened to feel a little stuffy, so they went outside to get some fresh air.
After twists and turns, I arrived at the end of the corridor and there was a terrace next to the toilet.
Just as Chi Qi was about to push open the glass door, two familiar voices were heard coming from the terrace. He quickly identified the owners of the voices as Zhou Xu and Song Ruoyao.
Is Zhou Xu still stubbornly acting like a bootlicker?
After washing his hands, An Xun came out and found his friend standing stealthily behind the wall. His intuition told him that something was wrong.
He walked lightly, stepped forward and patted Chi Qi on the shoulder. After eye contact, the two of them instantly worked together and began to look for the best position to eavesdrop.
On the terrace.
Zhou Xu stopped pushing the wheelchair and shook Song Ruoyao's hand instead. He asked anxiously, "Are you really happy about marrying into the Jiang family?"
Song Ruoyao showed a very broken smile, "There's nothing to be happy or unhappy about. I will be satisfied if I can help the Song family and take their business to a higher level."
An Xun conveyed the message with his eyes. The aroma of tea was so strong that it was almost reaching the sky, but it was still low-quality tea.
Chi Qi nodded in agreement.
Zhou Xu said distressedly: "Ayao, I know you are kind, but...but you have paid too much, is the Song family really worth it?"
After a pause, he blurted out his thoughts, "I heard that Uncle Song is going to publicly recognize Jian Qi as his new wife. He has not considered your thoughts at all about how you will cope with Jian Qi's return."
Hearing this, Song Ruoyao's eyes darkened. This was unexpected. He didn't expect Jian Qi to do so well in the exam, so well that the Song family was willing to take him back.
How is this possible?
He can't lose his legs in vain.
Song Ruoyao suppressed his dark emotions and continued to be a considerate person. "You are my best friend, how can you have such narrow-minded ideas? Jian Qi is the biological child of the Song family, and there is nothing wrong with mom and dad doing this."
Zhou Xu lowered his head in shame, "I'm sorry, I just care about you too much."
"Ah Yao, I..."
He originally wanted to give Song Ruoyao a promise, telling her to come to him if she had any problems. However, he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips. He was not strong enough now. If he was given some more time, he would make sure Song Ruoyao was out of this miserable life.
If Chi Qi heard his confession, he would probably spit in anger.
Song Ruoyao took over Jian Qi's identity and lived a wealthy life for eighteen years, with no worries about food and clothing and was pampered. You call this suffering?
What is Jian Qi’s eighteen years called? Hell on earth.
She hasn't even protested yet, but you're already feeling sorry for Song Ruoyao.
He really can't tell right from wrong, he's confusing black and white, and calling a horse a zebra!
Song Ruoyao looked at Zhou Xu expectantly, encouraging him to finish what he had not yet said, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Xu felt inexplicably guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eye. "Nothing, let's go back."
He stood behind the wheelchair again and pushed it out through another exit.
Song Ruoyao frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he said, "Okay."
He quietly clenched his fists, thinking that Zhou Xu was really useless. He couldn't even make a promise. He was indeed unreliable. Fortunately, he didn't break the window paper.
After the two walked away, An Xun spoke up, "That A Yao, I forgot his name, didn't he marry into the Jiang family? Why is he still arguing with Zhou Xula?"
"Song Ruoyao is fishing for a spare tire."
An Xun touched his chin and said, "Zhou Xu has been licking me for a few years, right?"
Chi Qi nodded, "Yes, but I can't lick it for long."
An Xun asked the reason, "Have you come back from your mistakes?"
Chi Qi recalled the plot, "That's about it, just wait and see."
In the novel, after Song Ruoyao's true face was exposed, everyone left him. Zhou Xu was the only one who stayed with him and wanted to continue to treat him well.
It seemed that something happened later and he gave up completely.
According to the full text, Zhou Xu is not a bad person. Although his intelligence is unknown and he is often defrauded, he is a kind person. It's just that he gave this kindness to the wrong people, which makes people dislike him.
An Xun did not ask any more questions. He lowered his eyelashes and considered something in his heart.
The information is correct.
So…the precognitive dream he had last night was real?
*
Back in the box, people started leaving one after another.
Chi Qi looked down at the time and saw that it was indeed getting late, so he took An Xun and his classmates to say goodbye. While waiting for the family's driver at the restaurant entrance, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a figure. He looked closely and found that it was Qiao Yujing who was stopped by someone.
This class reunion was really worthwhile, as I met a lot of familiar people.
Now that I have come across it, I certainly can’t miss it.
Not far ahead.
"Mr. Xu likes you, that's your blessing, don't be ungrateful."
Qiao Yujing had a cold face and said in a sharp tone, "Do you want this blessing?"
The man choked and was speechless.
The man called Xu Shao walked forward and tried to touch Qiao Yujing's face, but was slapped away. He was not angry, but smiled evilly and said, "Don't struggle, you can't escape from my palm."
“…”
So greasy, makes me want to vomit.
Qiao Yujing actually doesn't have a good temper. He had been accommodating Fang Zhuiqi in various ways before. In the final analysis, it was because he was blinded by love. There was no reason for him to be indifferent to other people's harassment.
An Xun looked at the tense atmosphere over there and asked, "Do you want to go and help?"
"go!"
An Xun hesitated, "But we won't fight."
Chi Qi said calmly: "Don't panic, just tell them your grandfather's name later, and they will definitely not dare to do it."
"Why don't you tell me your father's name?"
Chi Qi choked up, "...My dad told me not to say I'm his son when I go out."
To be honest, he was too prone to trouble when he was a child. People came to him to complain every other day. At first, Chi's father was patient enough to solve the problems for him, but later he got annoyed and told Chi Qi not to say that he was Chi Yuanchong's son when he went out.
The father-son relationship is valid only at home.
Qiao Yujing flexed his wrist and was about to take action when Chi Qi and An Xun came over pushing and shoving.
He hesitated for a few seconds and then lowered his raised arm.
Xu Shao saw two young boys coming and standing next to Qiao Yujing, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you?"
Before the two of them could introduce themselves, his follower answered first, "I know the one on the left. He's a small anchor from Star TV."
Little anchor.
Xu Shao's eyes lit up. He thought that the two people were impressed by his charm and offered themselves to him for sex. But he soon became conflicted because he did not have enough money to keep several people at the same time.
What should I do?
Qiao Yujing recognized Chi Qi and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Chi Qi calmly. He wanted to see what this Young Master Xu was going to do.
Xu Shao observed the faces of several people and decided to pick the easiest persimmon to squeeze. After a simple screening, he said to Chi Qi: "It's you. One hundred thousand a month. You can be my follower."
Chi Qi didn't understand, "What is that?"
An Xun explained to him, "In our circle, keeping someone is not called keeping someone, it's called following."
Chi Qi was puzzled, "Ah? So 100,000 is the maintenance fee, it's too little."
Xu Shao snorted, "Don't be too materialistic."
He had found out everything. Wages these days are generally not high. Even if one works very hard, the monthly salary is only three thousand. He only pays one hundred thousand a month, which is equivalent to almost three years' salary for an intern.
Besides, he doesn't cause trouble for others and doesn't have any bad habits, so what else is there to be dissatisfied with?
Chi Qi was silent for a moment, "Do you really want to keep me?"
Xu Shao nodded proudly.
[Oh my god, it's my turn to be kept. After all, I'm good-looking and young, so it's normal for people to covet me. 】
At the same time, Xie Mu, who had just parked his car and came specially from the Chi family, was caught off guard by these earth-shattering words, and his heart skipped a beat.
Keeping? Who wants to support Chi Qi?
He quickly raised his head, followed the source of the sound, and looked around for a familiar head.
After getting a positive answer, Chi Qi immediately called his father and said concisely: "Dad, someone has taken a fancy to your son. He wants to support me and give me 100,000 a month. I refused, but he disagreed."
Mr. Chi:! ! !
Chi Qi called his eldest brother again and repeated what he had just said.
Chi Tingsi threw the document in his hand, "What's his name?"
Chi Qi looked up and asked, "What's your name?"
Xu Shao: “…”
Am I stupid? I told you my own name.
The follower behind him said loudly: "You have never heard of our Xu Shaoxu's name?"
Chi Qi said: "What are you calling shush shush."
Xu Shao, "???"
Are you polite?
