Chapter 57
[People who often stay up late have the following notable characteristics: 1. Hallucinations 2. Poor memory 4. Inability to count 6. Confusion. Please remember these nine points. 】
Chi Qi went downstairs yawning, with physiological tears still in the corners of his eyes. He was extremely excited last night and almost stayed up all night. He only slept for a few hours, and the fatigue was obvious on his face.
As soon as he appeared around the corner, a faint gaze fell on him, describing him in detail.
He noticed it keenly and looked in the direction.
Then he saw Xie Mu sitting in front of the dining table, drinking porridge leisurely with a leisurely posture. The hand holding the bowl had a broad palm with distinct joints. It was the culprit "hand" that touched his head!
Instantly, the memory played clearly in his mind like a slow-motion movie.
Seeing the tiredness in his eyes, Chi's mother joked, "You are so sleepy, did you steal last night?"
In the past, Chi Qi always sat next to Xie Mu, but today he had something on his mind and couldn't remain calm, so he deliberately walked around and came to the other side of the table.
"Yes." He pulled out a bench and sat down, saying meaningfully, "I became a thief who stole hearts."
Chi's mother: "..."
Father Chi was amused by him and said cheerfully, "I think you stayed up late to memorize jokes. You talk like a crosstalk every day. Without you, who will make me happy?"
"Eh?" He said, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little bit subtle, but he was not nervous and didn't take it to heart, "Xiao Qi, your face is so red, are you sick?"
Chi Qi shook his head and silently poked the bottom of the bowl with his chopsticks. Then he picked up a steamed bun and angrily stuffed the whole bun into his mouth, treating the bun as someone, chewing it hard and swallowing it with difficulty.
Then he choked.
“…”
【It’s over! 】
Chi's mother noticed his abnormality and said anxiously, "Oh, drink some soy milk quickly to get the food down."
You are such an adult, how can you still choke while eating?
There was an obvious foreign body sensation in his throat, which was very uncomfortable. Chi Qi tensed his body and patted his chest twice, but found it was useless. He hurriedly wanted to reach out for the soy milk.
Someone was one step ahead of him, and put the mouth of the soy milk cup against his lips, looking at him anxiously.
It’s Xie Mu.
His head buzzed, Chi Qi opened his eyes slightly and paused.
Chi's mother was standing by and asked anxiously, "Why are you standing there? Drink it quickly."
Oh yes, he wants to drink soy milk.
Chi Qi temporarily put aside other emotions and drank half a cup of soy milk from Xie Mu's hand. Fortunately, the foreign object in his throat was quickly washed down.
The other people at the table were concerned, "Are you okay?"
Chi Qi waved his hand weakly, "It's okay."
Several people breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that her son was fine, Chi's mother began to scold him, "How many times have I told you to chew your food slowly and thoroughly? Look at you, you always eat in a hurry. If someone doesn't know, they would think we are abusing you. We only feed you once every ten days or half a month."
Father Chi patted his chest, still feeling frightened, "You just said you were making me laugh, and now you give me such a big scare."
If he experiences these mood swings a few more times, he's afraid he'll have a heart attack.
Afterwards, Father Chi glanced at Xie Mu and couldn't help but sigh, "Xiao Mu's reaction is really fast."
It’s good to be young. Unlike him, who is getting older, his body functions have declined.
There was a buzzing in his ears, but Chi Qi didn't listen at all. His mind was full of Xie Mu's hand, that hand again. He was vaguely thinking that this hand appeared in the screen so often.
The breakfast ended without any incident.
Chi's father was going to the company, while Chi's mother made an appointment with friends to play cards. She took the dumplings with her before leaving, leaving only Chi Qi and Xie Mu at home.
I didn't think anything of it at first, but as soon as the two people and the dog left, the house suddenly became much quieter and empty.
Chi Qi had just finished his meal and slumped on the sofa, not wanting to move. He squinted his eyes for a while, but then felt uncomfortable lying like this, so he lazily turned over and wanted to change his position.
I was caught off guard by a pair of dark eyes. Who else could it be but Xie Mu?
[Are you the spirit of Wangzai Milk? Look at me, still looking at me! Why are you always looking at me? Look at me again, look at me again and I will drink you up, I can’t stand it...】
Her fiery gaze fell on his face, then gently stroked his whole body, like an archaeologist seeing a newly unearthed artifact, holding it in his hands and examining it carefully, wanting to remember every detail of the artifact.
It wasn't a gaze filled with lust, so Chi Qi didn't feel offended, but he still felt uncomfortable.
He lowered his long eyelashes and subconsciously slowed down his breathing.
After a moment, I couldn't help but feel contempt for my cowardly behavior.
So Chi Qi bared his teeth and claws, threatening, "Don't look at me!"
Xie Mu didn't understand and said to himself: "Your face is still a little red, isn't it..."
"What does it have to do with you?" Chi Qixian was flustered, and was anxious to distance himself from the matter. "I just got choked and haven't recovered yet."
He is not... he is not blushing because of Xie Mu!
Xie Mu nodded lightly, with a smile in his eyes, as if he was coaxing a child.
Chi Qi felt annoyed whenever he saw him smile. Why was he so upset while the person who flirted with him acted like nothing happened?
[It’s not fair. Not fair at all!] 】
Chi Qi raised his neck and glared at him, saying fiercely: "What are you laughing at? Don't laugh!"
If you laugh again it will be impolite. Be careful or I will be rude to you.
"I just thought of an interesting past event." Xie Mu said innocently, "You are too overbearing to not let me laugh or look at you."
"Do you want me to cry?" After asking, he answered himself, "I guess you will tell me by then that you are crying and crying. You have cried away all your blessings."
“…”
He said all the good and bad things by himself.
Chi Qi always stayed awake and refused to be led by him. He had a clear goal and kept asking questions. "What's interesting? Tell me about it."
"Can you not tell me?"
"No!" Chi Qi refused and insisted, "You must say it!"
[If you can't explain it, I will... I will cause trouble for you, although it won't be too much. 】
“Okay, I’ll tell you.” Xie Mu seemed to have no way to deal with him, and looked at him indulgently, “It just suddenly reminded me of when I was a kid, I had a fever of 40 degrees. I went to my mother in a state of confusion. When my mother saw me, she said that I looked so cute with my blushing face, and she forced me to pose for photos for half an hour.”
“…”
Chi Qi secretly lowered the corners of his lips and pretended to listen seriously.
However, that fleeting smile was still noticed by the people who were watching him closely.
[Okay, it’s indeed a bit funny. Since Xie Mu didn’t get burned into a fool, I’m going to start laughing. Hahahahahahaha~]
The topic ends here.
Chi Qi found something to do for himself - playing Landlord.
His luck was extremely good in the first game, as the cards were dealt to him just as he wanted, either a straight or a pair. He quickly called the landlord and threw out a royal bomb at the start.
Naturally, the other two couldn't take his cards, so Chi Qi happily threw out four eights again, but the farmers still couldn't afford them. After several rounds, he won easily.
At the end of the game, Chi Qi's happy beans increased several times, and he became rich overnight.
While he was happy, Xie Mu came over and stared at him, "Have you decided which movie to watch?"
Chi Qi, "..."
[I haven’t thought about it yet. I don’t plan to watch it.] 】
Seeing Chi Qi remained silent, Xie Mu took a step back, "Do you regret it?" He sighed with self-pity, "You invited me when you needed me, and simply ignored me when you didn't need me."
This man was getting more and more excited. Chi Qi didn't want to talk to him. He wanted to be alone in peace, so he responded perfunctorily, "Let's take a look."
Xie Mu knew what he was thinking, but he just wouldn't let him get what he wanted, pressing him step by step, "Who knows if you are just trying to fool me? You haven't even taken any practical action. I might expect it for a few days, but in the end, I find out that it's all in vain."
“…”
I feel like I dug a hole for myself yesterday and buried myself in it.
Under his attack, Chi Qi opened the ticket purchase page and asked with gritted teeth, "What type of movies do you like to watch?"
Xie Mu regained his understanding attitude and said considerately, "I am here to watch it with you, so of course I have to watch the movie you like."
【strong.】
Chi Qi snorted in his heart.
It is the summer vacation now, and there are many movies released recently, with various genres. He was dazzled by the popular recommendations. He swiped for a long time but still couldn't make up his mind.
While he was debating, a chic cover in the corner caught his eye.
When Chi Qi clicked on it, he saw the rating was as high as 9.9. How good is it?
It was the first time he saw such a high score. He curiously read the reviews from people who had already watched the movie. They were all full of words like recommended, touching, unforgettable, etc., praising the movie to the sky.
Looks good, just watch this.
Chi Qi made a prompt decision and bought two tickets.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the movie to start.
*
Saturday evening.
It's almost six o'clock now. The movie starts at seven o'clock. Taking into account the travel time, it's time to set off. If we leave later, we might be late.
Chi Qi was bending over in the entrance to change his shoes, while Xie Mu was leaning against the door frame waiting with his keys in hand. His profile reflected in the soft light made him look even more handsome.
"Hey." Chi's mother stopped the two of them and said, "It's still hot outside. Let's go out and walk the dog later."
While tying his shoelaces, Chi Qi said, "Mom, I'm going out to see a movie. I won't be sneaking out today."
When he said this, he was inexplicably a little flustered, not like he was going out to see a movie, but rather like he was about to make an illicit transaction. He felt a strong sense of stealth, his palms were covered with sweat, and he waited anxiously for what was to come.
Chi's mother didn't think anything was wrong, and asked excitedly, "I haven't heard of any good movies recently, what are you watching?"
After Chi Qi said the name of the movie, he pulled Xie Mu away quickly.
The three words sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them. After the people left, she slapped her thigh. It seemed that there was a "King of Bad Movies" with this name.
When they arrived at the cinema, they went their separate ways. Xie Mu went to get the tickets while he queued up to buy popcorn. After buying the popcorn, when they were about to reunite, Chi Qi couldn't find anyone. He raised his head and looked at the tall people.
"I'm here."
Someone twisted his shoulders and ruffled his hair. "You've been looking around for a long time."
In order to get through the crowd, Chi Qi walked side by side with him, shoulder to shoulder, very close to him, "Have you seen me a long time ago?"
"Yes, I spotted it right away."
The thought of teasing the boy was about to come out, and Xie Mu asked mysteriously, "Do you want to know why?"
Chi Qi pinched a crunchy popcorn and asked, "Why?"
"Because I'm the Pig Man."
What is it?
Spider-Man?
He thought about it seriously for a few seconds, and then realized that it was a pun on Chi Qi, "..."
Damn it, I got fooled again.
Chi Qi turned his face awkwardly, a little angry, and launched a powerless attack, "You are the pig, your whole family are pigs!"
[You are a wild boar, a porcupine, a spotted pig, a naked pig, a stupid pig, a dumb pig, a Ukrainian suckling pig, Zhu Bajie! You are a lazy omnivorous organism in captivity, you are a desperate and lonely animal under the starry sky,
You are a fool who can never fly into the blue sky! 】
Thanks to the time they had spent together, Xie Mu was now able to endure a lot more psychologically, and he joked with him calmly and calmly.
It's wise to turn on mute before you completely annoy people.
According to the seat numbers on the movie tickets, the two went to the corresponding seats and sat down.
Chi Qi looked around and wondered: This is strange. The surrounding cinemas are all packed with people, why is this place so deserted?
But soon, he stopped caring.
[Who do you think came up with this thing (chew chew chew) (chew chew chew) and why is it so delicious (chew chew chew)? Eat one in one bite. 】
Suddenly, my arm was poked lightly.
Chi Qi turned around and saw a girl with big eyes and a bun sitting next to him.
The girl looked at him carefully for a while, and asked hesitantly, "Hello, may I ask?" She paused, as if hesitating, "You..."
Chi Qi's heart was filled with alarm bells, and he always felt that something bad was about to happen. However, he had clearly checked the almanac before going out, and it indicated that today was a good day to travel.
The girl was still looking at him, but Chi Qi could feel that her gaze was harmless and he breathed a sigh of relief.
From this angle, it seems like he is looking at my popcorn. Do you want to eat it?
Chi Qi guessed while calmly pulling his hand back; he didn't really want to share.
But he remembered the last time in the mall, when he rejected Su Yanzhuo's request for milk tea, which almost led to a murder. After a series of inner struggles, he reluctantly said, "Can you leave some popcorn for me?"
He waited in line for a long time to buy this, it was not easy to come by.
girl:"……?"
Chi Qi: “?”
The girl explained, "You misunderstood, I don't want to eat your popcorn."
【ah? Not gonna eat my popcorn, that's great! 】
The girl almost forgot what she wanted to ask after being interrupted. She calmed herself down and asked the question she had thought about several times, "Hello, are you praying?"
[Wait, something is wrong. What did she just call me? If I heard correctly, it seemed like she was calling my online name… Ahhhhh, calling me by my online name in real life, what’s the difference between that and running naked on the street? It’s so terrible, so terrible, it must be an auditory hallucination. 】
Chi Qi shook his head like a rattle, and he said reflexively, "I am not, I am not."
He doesn't have a habit of streaking!
The girl was still unsure at first, but when she heard the familiar tone, she said with certainty: Stop pretending, you are it!
