Chapter 46 Lost in love?
Momo ran for almost the entire day, rested a few times, and then continued running. As it was getting close to night, Qin Shiyu suggested that they find a place to spend the night, as it was unsafe to travel at night.
Mu Ke transformed his wings and searched forward for a while, and found a farmyard with a large yard and a relatively hidden location.
Momo was settled in the yard. Zhu Ci carefully locked the gate of the farmhouse. When he entered the house, Li Huiyin was already distributing food.
"We need to find food tomorrow, that's all." Li Huiyin opened a bag of compressed biscuits with a bitter face, "This stuff tastes so bad..."
She gave the remaining two bags of sandwiches to Xu Zhiyang and Qin Shiyu.
Xu Zhiyang threw it back and said, "I'm not hungry, you eat it."
Li Huiyin threw it back at Xu Zhiyang's face, "Even if you're not hungry, you have to eat! Look at you! If a pig were as thin as you, it would lose money!"
"...What the hell does it have to do with pig's ass." Xu Zhiyang put the bread aside and saw Mu Ke moving a stove in from outside the door.
There was smokeless charcoal burning inside, and a kettle on the stove.
Several people immediately sat down around the stove. Li Huiyin sighed, "It's so warm. It's been getting colder and colder at night lately."
Mu Ke: "The weather is indeed unusual. When the water boils, drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
"If this continues, winter will probably come early." Qin Shiyu finished the bread in a few bites and took out a small notebook to write and draw.
Xu Zhiyang took a look and understood what he was doing. "Are you calculating the fused energy?"
Qin Shiyu nodded, his eyes flashing with enthusiasm. "Yes, the energy fusion is incredible! The moment you and big brother held hands and the energy exploded, it reached at least the top of the second level! Wind energy exploded!"
Xu Zhiyang knew that he wouldn't be able to rest tonight until he figured it out, so he said, "My wood energy is at level one. If my ability reaches level two, and Zhu Ci is at level one, then together we will be at level three."
Qin Shiyu opened his eyes wide. "You mean, by analogy, if you advance to the first level, then when Second Brother and you hold hands, the energy levels you merge together will be superimposed! If two second-level energies collide, they can produce the effect of the fourth level?!"
"right."
"Oh my god, this is too outrageous." Qin Shiyu quickly wrote it down in the notebook, and kept muttering to himself something that no one could understand.
Li Huiyin swallowed the compressed biscuits with her neck stretched, and drank two glasses of water before she felt her stomach was no longer so empty.
Zhu Ci saw that Xu Zhiyang still hadn't eaten the bread, so he sat down next to him helplessly, opened the bag and fed it directly to his mouth.
"What are you doing..." Xu Zhiyang looked over blankly.
Zhu Ci said calmly, "I'll feed you."
“…”
Xu Zhiyang hid away uncomfortably. Ever since he figured out what he felt towards Zhu Ci, he would feel guilty and panic whenever he got close to him.
"No, I'm really not hungry. Let's put it away for now."
"You call me brother." Zhu Ci suddenly said, "Then you should listen to me and be a good boy."
Mu Ke, who was sitting diagonally opposite the two of them, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looked at them for a moment, and suddenly realized.
In order to get Xu Zhiyang to eat something, Li Huiyin even tried to persuade him in a suicidal way: "Tell me how old you are, and you're still like a little brat and don't eat properly! You still want to grow taller? You'll always be a short person!"
Xu Zhiyang: “…”
"Okay, I'm afraid of you." Xu Zhiyang reached out and took the bread, took a bite and swallowed it with difficulty.
Zhu Ci was satisfied and reached out to rub the back of Xu Zhiyang's head.
Li Huiyin laughed, "Look at my elder brother like he's coaxing his wife."
Xu Zhiyang's ears turned red, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Li Huiyin tutted her lips and smiled maliciously. She cleared her throat and used a mineral water bottle as a microphone. "Come on, come on, it's a good time to interview a few guys."
Li Huiyin handed the bottle to Mu Ke and asked, "What type of girl does Brother Mu like?"
Mu Ke seemed to be a rather aloof person, but he had a good temper, so he cooperated and said, "Be the quiet one, the rest is not important."
"Wow." Li Huiyin laughed, "I'll find one for you as soon as we get to the capital."
Mu Ke chuckled: "Thanks."
Li Huiyin waved her hand, rolled her eyes, and held the water bottle in front of Zhu Ci, "Where's Big Brother? Big Brother likes that type of... person."
As she spoke, Li Huiyin secretly glanced at Xu Zhiyang who was standing next to Zhu Ci. Seeing that the person who was originally in a daze had become interested, she quietly shifted her gaze to Zhu Ci without leaving any trace.
Zhu Ci really lowered his head to think for a moment, then said casually, "A gentle girl, maybe."
Li Huiyin thought to herself that this was terrible.
After hearing the answer to the congratulatory speech, Xu Zhiyang was suddenly stunned.
His heartbeat, which had been a little too fast, seemed to be about to stop, and it slowed down to the point that his thoughts became dull.
girl……
girl?
Yes, Zhu Ci never said that she likes men.
Then why did I think he liked men after being together for such a long time?
Xu Zhiyang tightened her fingers on her legs slightly and slowly looked away.
When he heard the word "girl", he actually felt a little envious.
When Li Huiyin saw Xu Zhiyang's eyes, she could feel that her good friend was unhappy, so she smiled awkwardly and prepared to roll back and sit down.
Mu Ke suddenly said, "Brother Xu hasn't said anything yet."
Mu Ke smiled at Xu Zhiyang, "What type do you like, Brother Xu?"
Noticing that everyone's gaze had shifted towards him, Xu Zhiyang's Adam's apple slid up and down twice, and he felt a bitter taste, so bitter that it was difficult for him to open his mouth.
Zhu Ci thought he was embarrassed and said softly, "It's just a joke. It's okay if you don't want to say it."
"I..." Xu Zhiyang bent her legs and curled up secretly. Her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke again, "I have never... liked... anyone."
The dull pain in her heart was unbearable. Xu Zhiyang's eyes turned red and she lowered her eyes, not wanting anyone to see her emotions.
"What's wrong with you? Where does it hurt?" Zhu Ci noticed that Xu Zhiyang was actually trembling slightly. Just as his palm touched his wrist, Xu Zhiyang suddenly dodged.
"It's okay... I just can't stand the smell of charcoal." Xu Zhiyang suddenly stood up and took a barely perceptible deep breath.
"I'm going out for some fresh air." After saying that, Xu Zhiyang didn't even look at Zhu Ci, and walked straight past him and out the door.
Qin Shiyu realized something was wrong and finally looked up from his notebook. But within a few seconds he understood what was going on, and sighed deeply like a little adult.
This big brother usually seems quite smart, so why does he become... stupid at the critical moment?
Is this what it means to be a bystander?
Even Brother Mu could tell in such a short time that the second brother liked the eldest brother.
But my second brother is too pitiful. It took less than a day from a crush to a broken heart...
Li Huiyin felt that her assist had failed and she had gotten into trouble instead. She quickly stood up and said, "I'm going to go see my best friend!"
Li Huiyin found Xu Zhiyang in a corner and was stunned when she saw what he was holding. "You're actually smoking?!"
Xu Zhiyang suddenly laughed at himself, "Surprising, right? Even my brother didn't know that after my parents died, I not only smoked, but also drank and fought. The good kid in your eyes once spent an entire summer hanging out with gangsters."
