Chapter 71
Relying on his keen intuition, Ye Xing straightened his body just before the danger arrived, with the corners of his lips still raised, and turned to nod towards Xie Mu.
Without stopping, he waved goodbye to Chi Qi and said, "Bye, I'm happy to see you, but happy times are always short. I'm going to make rounds now."
Chi Qi waved his sleeves in return, "Bye~ I'm very happy too~"
When they passed each other, Xie Mu looked at him coldly, and then quickly made a judgment. He was not in good shape, and most likely he did not have eight-pack abs. He was not to be feared. He thought so in his heart, but on the surface he was very concerned, "Do you know him?"
Chi Qi noticed his reaction and said happily, "Do you know him?"
Xie Mu felt even worse in his heart, and asked, "How did you know each other?"
Chi Qi explained, "I know it with my eyes."
"?"
Chi Qi raised his chin and explained in more detail, "He has a badge on his clothes, anyone with eyes can see it."
So knowing someone means just knowing the other person’s name.
Xie Mu cleared the fog and saw the sky was bright. He warned, "In the future, when you talk to people you don't know well, don't use tildes."
Chi Qi didn't ask why, but muttered quietly, "You are so domineering."
Xie Mu calmly accepted his new personality, pushed the wheelchair and brought the man to the doctor without saying a word.
"Is he your brother?" the doctor asked casually, then made a diagnosis and wrote a few lines on the medical record in a flamboyant manner, "No big problem, just a bruise on the epidermis. Just go home and rest for a few days. Don't do strenuous exercise in the near future. Remember to keep an eye on him."
Xie Mu thanked the doctor, and after the treatment, he pushed the patient back the way he came. "Remember? Don't jump up and down the stairs anymore."
Chi Qi said shamelessly, "I told you it's nothing serious, don't worry, I'll be able to walk briskly in three days at most."
"Are you a superman?" Xie Mu said softly, "If you can't fly up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun, then you should follow the doctor's advice."
Chi Qi stretched out his legs and tested the edge of danger, "What will happen if you don't comply?"
"Not so good?" Xie Mu offered a solution, "I will just complain to your mother."
Chi Qi stretched out his claws to scratch him, accusing him, "How old are you? Only kindergarteners and elementary school students play the game of complaining."
“It works.”
The two of them bickered from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
The only thing that was wrong was that Chi Qi looked at the familiar scenery and hesitated, "Wait, why don't you change direction? I always feel that if I take this path, I won't be able to get home in a while."
Xie Mu firmly established his character, very domineering, "I don't care what you think, I care what I think, let's go this way."
Ten minutes later, he stopped and paid the price for his blind speech.
Familiar paths, familiar old friends, and familiar voices.
Chi Qi was calm and composed, as if he had expected this.
[I just knew that, somewhere in the dark, there was a melon calling me. 】

Jian Qi came to the hospital to get his medical examination report. Because of the abuse he had suffered, his body had many hidden dangers that needed to be healed slowly.
While he was distracted and thinking about something, he bumped into someone unexpectedly and the medicine spilled all over the floor. Before he could apologize, the person he bumped into was even more panicked than him.
"Xiaoqi."
Jian Qi swallowed the embarrassment that was about to come out of his mouth, silently bent down and picked up the medicine box on the ground. There was a small medicine bottle that rolled far away, and he was about to pick it up.
A pair of hands arrived before him, and Song Muchi handed over the small medicine bottle with hope.
Jian Qi took the things, ignored Song Muchi who suddenly appeared, and turned to leave.
Song Muchi stood in front of him and looked at him carefully, "Xiao Qi, I was wrong in the past." He came forward and looked at Jian Qi with eager eyes and a bit of flattery, "I don't expect you to forgive me, but give me a chance to make it up to you, okay?"
Jian Qi originally planned to ignore him and walk around him, but the other party was so tactless that he didn't realize how annoying his behavior was unless he said something unpleasant.
No response was already a good response. Song Muchi thought Jian Qi's attitude had softened, so he was encouraged and ran after him, rambling on and on, "Mom is sick and misses you so much. I always say your name in my dreams. I regret treating you like that."
He was probably used to being a young master, so he didn't say a word of humility before he started to make demands again, "Can you take care of..."
Jian Qi glanced at him coldly.
Song Muchi's tone weakened, "How about I drive you home? It will be more comfortable, so you don't have to take the bus."
It was hard for him to change his usual arrogant attitude. Jian Qi listened for a few words and finally spoke, "There are often fruits, snacks, and express deliveries at the door. They must be delivered by you."
I thought Jian Qi would still ignore him, but I didn't expect her to take the initiative to ask.
Song Muchi quickly agreed, choosing his words carefully, "It's me. I thought it would be inconvenient for you to live alone, so I took the initiative to buy some daily necessities that you might need..."
"You also know that you are acting on your own initiative?" Jian Qi sneered, "Don't buy it, it's a waste."
"No waste." Song Muchi didn't hear the subtext, "Don't you like the things I bought?"
"right."
Song Muchi still didn't stop harassing her, and kept saying, "You can tell me what you like, and I'll buy it for you when I get back."
Chi Qi made a sharp comment.
[This is strange, is Song Muchi from Dunhuang? There are so many murals, and the other person has clearly refused, but he still keeps pestering Jian Qi. 】
"Don't you understand what people are saying?"
Song Muchi stood there at a loss, not understanding how he had offended the other party, "I..."
Jian Qi interrupted his pretense and said, "What I mean by wasteful is that I will throw all the items you sent into the trash can." He added, "It seems that it is not only a waste, but also very troublesome."
Song Muchi clenched his fists and his chest heaved violently.
Jian Qi looked up expressionlessly, "What? You can't stand it? I just did what you did to me before."
In fact, he didn't throw the things away, not because he was reluctant to do so, but because when he was a child, he was hungry and had to drink water to fill his stomach. This made him realize the value of food.
But it would be uncomfortable to stay, so Jian Qi chose to pack up the things and give them to the old man who was picking up rubbish, which was considered a good thing.
The other person's gaze was like a long whip, silently lashing him. Song Muchi was like a balloon with a hole in it, deflated all of a sudden. "I know you blame your brother in your heart..." He bit his tongue and quickly changed the subject, "You blame me."
Without persistently begging for Jian Qi's forgiveness, Song Muchi took out a bank card and said, "Keep it. I will deposit money into it regularly. I will slowly pay back what I owe you."
"Repay?" Jian Qi smiled coldly and sarcastically, "That's not what you said a few months ago. Do you need me to help you recall? You said I was an ungrateful person who could never be tamed, who would never change my bad temper, and who coveted the Song family's property..."
Chi Qi in the dark suffered a heart attack.
[Jian Qi is not a straw boat, Song Muchi, don't shoot arrows at him. 】
Seeing that a patient looked angry, Xie Mu was afraid that he would forget the fact that he was injured and rush out to slap him, so he grabbed his hand in time.
Chi Qi was launching attacks with his eyes and didn't notice at all that he was being taken advantage of.
Every time Jian Qi said a word, Song Muchi's face turned pale, and his mood fell into an icy cave. He hurriedly shirked responsibility, "I... I was deceived by Song Ruoyao at that time."
"Hypocritical and pretentious."
Jian Qi didn't give him any chance to refute and left resolutely.
*
Chi Qi was carried to the passenger seat, and the wheelchair was folded and put into the trunk. He blamed me unreasonably, "I told you not to take this road, but you refused to listen. Now look what happened, my good mood is ruined."
Xie Mu, who was closing the car door for him, was stunned for a moment, then he apologized swiftly, "I'm not good, I reflect on myself, I was wrong, I'm guilty, I made mistakes, I'll change, you can't afford to make others angry, if you get sick from anger, no one can replace you."
He shot like a pea shooter. Chi Qi rarely interrupted, and waited until the conversation stopped before asking, "Did you secretly go to class during the few days you were away?"
"Yes, I miss you every moment."
“…”
When he got home, Chi's mother saw that he had his head drooped and his hair had wilted. She thought he was seriously injured and asked, "What did the doctor say?"
Chi Qi said listlessly, "Doctor."
Mother Chi withdrew her sympathy and sat back on the sofa to play with Tangyuan.
Chi Qi looked at it eagerly. He also wanted to pet the dog to relieve his depression.
He used a combination of coaxing and deception to trick the cute dog over. Tangyuan tilted his head, stared at him with his dark eyes for a few seconds, then raised his front paws and limped two steps.
Chi Qi asked with tears in his eyes, "Your paw is also injured."
Tangyuan couldn't speak and could only express his consciousness through actions. He began to circle around the wheelchair, and everyone suddenly realized that he was not injured, but was deliberately imitating Chi Qi's way of walking.
Naked ridicule is not very harmful but is extremely insulting.
Chi Qi is going to shut himself in.
[The children in the south village bully me because I am old and weak, and cosplay me in broad daylight.]
Chi's mother was so happy that she praised him repeatedly, "The baby has a strong ability to imitate."
Xie Mu pursed his lips at first, and it was obvious that he was trying hard to hold back his laughter, but unfortunately he couldn't help it.
The world where only Chi Qi was hurt was achieved.
It was nine o'clock, the usual bath time.
Chi Qi was unable to move, so he called Xie Mu on the phone.
[Chi Qi]: Please help me.
[Xie Mu]: Please speak.
Help me put down the bath water, Chi Qi deleted the words he had typed.
[It’s a bit strange.] 】
Chi Qi was not hypocritical. If someone told him that the word "bath" was ambiguous, he would definitely scold the other person for having dirty thoughts and being indecent, but...
But he is being ambiguous!
Xie Mu on the other side saw that the other party was still typing, so he slowed down and moved closer to the wall.
[Hiss... Let's not talk about taking a bath anymore. Let me think of another way to put it.] 】
Xie Mu lowered his head and saw a few large words clearly displayed on the phone screen.
[Chi Qi]: I, Old Pig, want to go blanch some water.
“…”
You know how to destroy ambiguity completely.
Xie Mu resigned himself to running the water, and confirmed again and again before leaving the bathroom, "Is everything ok?"
Chi Qi confidently made an OK gesture.
The sound of splashing water could be heard in the bathroom. Xie Mu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at his phone, saying that he was afraid that he might get into an accident and he wouldn't be able to get there in time. But his phone had become a rare treasure and he could still stare at it even when the screen was off.
What interrupted his wandering thoughts was a rising question.
[Where should I change my clothes?] 】
After carefully checking the bathroom, not leaving out even a crack, he had to accept the fact that he had really forgotten about it.
Chi Qi murmured in despair, "Isn't it my foot that was injured? Why did my hands forget to take the clothes?"
He hesitated, hesitated, and dragged his feet. He prepared himself mentally several times before he mustered up the courage to shout, "Xie Mu, are you there?"
"Yes, what's up?"
[How about kicking Xie Mu out? There’s no one in the room anyway, so I can just go get my clothes naked? 】
Chi Qi immediately denied it.
[No, no, my foot is injured. It would be too unsightly to jump out like this. 】
Chi Qi felt that his current situation was comparable to the question "Do you like dad more, or do you like mom more?" No matter which one he chose, he would die anyway.
Xie Mu listened to him struggling for a long time, and simply checked the option for him to save both of them from suffering, "Did you forget to take your clothes? I saw pajamas in your basket."
A faint voice came from inside, "Yes, please bring it over for me."
A few seconds passed, or perhaps a long century.
“Knock, knock.”
Chi Qi's face was red from the heat, and he said with difficulty, "I haven't gotten up yet, wait a moment."
The person outside froze his movements in mid-air, his throat rolling silently, "Don't move, be careful not to slip, I'll carry you in with my eyes closed."
The enclosed space was hot and humid, with lingering mist.
Chi Qi turned from a mermaid into a stranded fish. He gave up on himself and said, "Just come in. You have everything I have. There's nothing to be shy about."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened with a click.
