Chapter 39: The Fourth Brother is Too Shy to Say
Qi Sijing curled up in his chair and quickly wrote a self-criticism, which he sent directly to Gu Langyan. Then he opened his own memo and started taking notes.
[3465.5.21 Human Dictatorship Organization Territory: Stabbed in the shoulders and legs, whipped on the back, burned in the abdomen, electroshocked in the brain, depressed]
After he finished writing, he glanced at the posts from the past few days, then stood up and went to the balcony to light a cigarette.
Qi Juchen should have entered the base of the independence organization by now, and he probably passed a test today.
Qi Sijing flicked the ash off his cigarette, rested his chin on his hand, exited the memo, and opened the task system.
Gu Langyan opened the balcony door with the blood bag in his mouth, glanced at the tasks on his screen, pointed at the red column and said, "This one."
Qi Sijing bit the cigarette back into his mouth, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's dangerous, Yanyan, I will be distressed if you get hurt."
"You call catching a thief high-risk?" Gu Langyan opened his virtual screen, filled in the red task, and began to browse the task information.
Qi Sijing followed along as he filled out the form, chin propped up, and after extinguishing his cigarette, he slumped directly into the recliner.
He played with the chain on his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's like playing a duo ranking game."
Gu Langyan sneered, "The boss might be your wife."
"It's a loss or not." Qi Sijing stood up and put his arm around Gu Langyan's shoulders as they walked towards the dormitory. "Tell me, what are your plans for tomorrow?"
What new executives have to do every day is to complete a variety of low-level tasks.
Even if it is a red mission, at most it is about catching robbers.
Once you complete 500 items, you can participate in the simulation training evaluation. If you pass the simulation training, you will become a formal executive.
Qi Sijing lay on the bed, bent his arms and placed them under his head, and looked at the pendant on his wrist for a while.
This pendant hasn't been lit for many days. Qi Juchen probably doesn't know what it is used for, nor does he know whether the token of love has been thrown away.
New executives are busy, and formal executives are even busier. They walk on the edge of a knife every day and never know when they will die.
Qi Sijing and Gu Langyan spent nearly five months completing the 500 tasks.
Before the simulated training, Qi Sijing thought that he would not have much time to go to Minnian to accompany the children, so he took a day off and went to Minnian with Gu Langyan.
It was afternoon when they went there, and the children were playing and resting in the yard.
Seeing them coming, they rushed straight to the gate of the yard.
An eight-year-old boy was the first to jump onto Qi Sijing's legs, and Qi Sijing lifted the child into his arms with one hand.
The boy's name is Xia Yi. He was sent to Minnian shortly after he was born. He has loved chasing Qi Sijing since he was a child.
After being picked up, Xia Yi immediately called out "Fourth Brother" with a smile.
Qi Sijing tapped Xia Yi's forehead and said, "You've grown taller."
"Impressive, right?" Xia Yi raised his chin. "Fourth brother, you and Brother Yan haven't been here for a long time. What have you been doing?"
Qi Sijing carried one child in his arms and led them to the yard, and lazily told the children, "Being an officer, catching monsters, is very busy."
After entering the yard, he put Xia Yi down and hugged his other brothers and sisters one by one.
The children had a lot of questions and talked all at once, asking whatever came to their minds.
Gu Langyan's brain was numb from the noise, so it was Gu Buyan's turn. He carried the stuttering Yueyue and ran to play with building blocks, leaving Qi Sijing alone to debate with the group.
"Fourth brother, why doesn't that big brother come here anymore?"
Since you asked this, Young Master Qi has something to say.
Qi Sijing clapped his hands, and the group of children immediately knew that the unreliable brother was going to tell a story, and they quickly sat down in a circle.
"It's like this. I was so busy with my relationship that I forgot to tell you."
Xia Yi was the first to open his mouth wide, "Fourth brother, are you in love?!"
The children nearby immediately followed up, "With whom? Is it good looking? Do we know each other?"
"Will you give him flowers?"
"Did you guys kiss?"
"Will he give you a toy, Fourth Brother?"
Qi Sijing smiled and raised his index finger.
A group of children immediately raised their hands to their mouths and made zippering movements.
"You know him, that big brother. He's very handsome." Qi Sijing lowered his head and opened his schoolbag. While handing out the snacks and toys he brought, he continued, "I'll give him flowers later."
"We kiss... Who asked this? What nonsense is that?"
As for toys...something inappropriate popped up in Qi Sijing's mind, and he coughed softly to clear his throat.
“He would give me toys.”
After answering the first few questions, Qi Sijing raised his eyes and asked, "Anything else you want to ask?"
A group of children nodded frantically, each of them extremely curious.
Qi Sijing: "Ask from left to right one by one."
The child on the far left immediately shouted, "Fourth brother, you're blushing! Shame on you!"
Qi Sijing was stunned for a moment, then he pulled the corner of his mouth and pointed at the child, "Xia Shuyan, you are not allowed to ask anymore."
Xia Shuyan curled his lips, raised his hand to cover his mouth and said in a muffled voice: "Stinky Fourth Brother, don't let me say it."
Qi Sijing threw snacks at him and said, "I didn't learn anything else but Yanyan's bad mouth."
Gu Langyan looked up from a distance and gave Xia Shuyan an encouraging look.
Xia Shuyan laughed so hard that he fell down.
The next child actually asked a question, "Fourth brother, where is big brother? He hasn't been here for a long time, and he didn't come today either!"
Qi Sijing: "He's also gone to fight a monster, a super big monster. It'll take a long time. I'll go pick him up in a while."
"Then don't get hurt!"
"Um."
Afterwards, Qi Sijing answered some strange questions and played games with the group of children for a while before he left to find Gu Buyan.
At that time, Gu Buyan was taking Yueyue to the library to do puzzles.
"Brother Yanyan, will you ever fall in love in the future?"
"No." Gu Langyan glanced at the puzzle piece in Yueyue's hand and raised his finger to point out the position where it should be put together.
Qi Sijing came over with a doll and snacks and handed them to Yueyue. "What don't you know?"
Yueyue took the doll and held it in her arms, smiling and saying, "Thank you, thank you, Fourth Brother! Let's talk about love!"
Qi Sijing glanced at Gu Langyan and quietly started doing his favorite side job - spreading rumors.
"There's a male vampire chasing after your brother Yanyan."
Yueyue's eyes were as big as copper bells.
Gu Langyan pressed Qi Sijing's neck and pulled him away. "Isn't it enough to fool a fool?"
Qi Sijing was inexplicably tickled by the joke, his shoulders shaking. "How can you call Xiaowan a fool?"
Yueyue looked at them both in bewilderment. "Silly, idiot? Brother Wanwan?"
Gu Langyan's face was expressionless, "Don't listen, kid."
"Oh..." Yueyue blinked and raised her hands to cover her ears.
Qi Sijing was halfway through laughing when he suddenly felt someone staring at him. He touched the hairs on the back of his neck and looked back out the window.
There was nothing outside the window except the branches swaying in the sound of birds' wings.
When he turned his gaze back, Gu Langyan happened to look at him, "Are you laughing?"
Qi Sijing: "..."
"That can't be." Qi Sijing glanced at the puzzle on the table that was one-third complete, raised his hand and started to put it together, and asked casually, "I heard that the simulation training evaluation is quite difficult. Are you nervous?"
Gu Langyan pulled the corner of his mouth, "No, whoever is weaker will be nervous."
