Chapter 10 How Ridiculous

Because he usually doesn't have much time to accompany Ning Changyue, Yin Jiu planned to take him on a date after class ended early today.

However, Hu Zheng disrupted the schedule a bit, but it was not a big problem, and Yin Jiu continued with his previous plan.

It was a pretty cliché date plan: a movie, a candlelight dinner, and a trip to the arcade.

I've booked a movie ticket for 4 o'clock. It's not even 3 o'clock now, so there's still plenty of time.

But from the moment they met today, Yin Jiu felt that Ning Changyue was not in a good mood.

He usually doesn't talk much, but he actually has a lot of micro-expressions, and it's easy to tell whether he's happy or unhappy.

When she was happy, she would sneak glances at him out of the corner of her eyes, as if her eyes were fixed on Yin Jiu.

When he was unhappy, he would deliberately avoid looking at Yin Jiu, and even if their eyes accidentally met, he would immediately look away.

I had the same feeling today. After getting in the car, I kept turning my back to Yin Jiu.

He liked to open the window to enjoy the fresh air when he was riding in the car, but after a while, he would look back at Yin Jiu. But today he didn't look back once.

Yin Jiu reflected on what had made him unhappy, and he had a rough idea in his mind. He probably got jealous and unhappy because he saw him and Hu Zheng talking there.

But this kind of thing is the most difficult to explain. You can say that it's nothing, but there really is something unilateral about it. There is no need to pull the person out and step on him/her to show your sincerity. You won't be in a relationship where you will see each other in the future, so why bother to step on others behind their backs.

Unless it was someone he really hated, Yin Jiu would rarely say bad things to them. After all, bad words hurt people's hearts. They were not ignorant children, and there was no deep hatred between them, so there was no need to be so harsh.

Yin Jiu never really cared about what others did, as long as he did his best.

There are very few people who can make Yin Jiu speak ill of them. Li Xinzhu is one of them, but he only complained to the system and didn't say anything in front of others.

They drove in silence all the way to the underground parking lot of the City Center Mall. After parking the car, Yin Jiu didn't move for a while, and Ning Changyue didn't move either.

Yin Jiu unbuckled his seat belt, leaned over, turned the man's face, and said, "Are you angry?"

Ning Changyue did not resist and shook her head to deny it.

This parking space is in a corner, against the wall. The light is dim and there is no headlight in the car, so we can't see each other's expressions clearly. We can only see the eyes flickering in the dim light.

Yin Jiu asked him again: "Then tell me, why are you unhappy?"

Ning Changyue denied: "I'm not unhappy."

"You're not unhappy. Why do you keep pointing your back at me?" Yin Jiu found that he could be really stubborn sometimes. He said in a serious tone, "No matter what you're thinking, it's not true. Trust me, okay?"

After becoming an adult, Yin Jiu had not told anyone to believe what he said, so his feelings at this moment were somewhat complicated.

Sensing a sense of crisis, Ning Changyue said without hesitation: "I believe you."

Yin Jiu smiled and said, "Let's start now. Be happy. Come on, smile."

Ning Changyue curled her lips and smiled obediently.

In fact, Yin Jiu could see the curve of the smile on Ning Changyue's face, but he still rubbed the corner of his lips with the tip of his thumb, staying there a little too long.

Afterwards, Ning Changyue seemed to have stopped having wild thoughts. The two of them watched a comedy movie. The protagonist of the movie was a loser with lots of jokes. Although Ning Changyue didn't laugh, she watched the movie very seriously.

Yin Jiu, on the other hand, didn't pay much attention and only fed Ning Changyue some snacks and drinks from time to time.

After watching the movie, the two went to a highly rated barbecue restaurant. The food tasted pretty good, and at least Ning Changyue enjoyed it very much.

After eating the barbecue, we went to the video game arcade as planned. Unexpectedly, Ning Changyue's reaction ability was very fast when playing various small games. Yin Jiu was also a gamer in the past. Although he hadn't played for some years, he still remembered the basic operations. Even so, he actually lost, which was a bit confusing.

Whether it was shooting, fighting or racing, he lost miserably.

Yin Jiu has become unconfident. Is it because he is too incompetent, or is Ning Changyue too awesome?

He asked him, "Did you come here often before?"

Ning Changyue shook her head and said, "It's my first time playing this."

Yin Jiu didn't quite believe it, but he had seen Ning Changyue grow from a novice to a skilled one with his own eyes. His dynamic vision and reaction abilities were truly amazing.

Men are very competitive, and the two of them played until the mall closed before going home.

When leaving, Ning Changyue was still a little reluctant. Yin Jiu was really upset after losing. He felt that Ning Changyue was quite suitable for the e-sports career, but it depended on whether he liked it or not. But after all, this could be a way out.

After returning home, taking a shower and lying on the bed, Ning Changyue was still a little excited. She tossed and turned, and even used Yin Jiu as a cushion, crawling from the left to the right.

He didn't sleep on the sofa today, but went straight to bed.

After being a cushion again, Yin Jiu closed his eyes, held the man by the waist and held him in his arms, his tone revealing a bit of anger: "If you make trouble again, I will put you on the treadmill and make you run for an hour or so. You can try and see if I can keep my word."

This threat was probably quite powerful, and Ning Changyue finally calmed down.

Just when Yin Jiu was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard Ning Changyue whispering in his arms, "What if she insists that you drive me away?"

Yin Jiu closed his eyes, suspecting that he had heard wrongly, "What are you talking about?"

Ning Changyue stared at him without answering.

Yin Jiu asked, "Tell me clearly, who wants me to drive you away?"

His voice was a bit loud, which made him seem like he was threatening someone.

Ning Changyue pursed his lips unconsciously and said in a low voice: "Your girlfriend."

"No, where did I get a girlfriend?" Yin Jiujian felt completely puzzled. He stayed up late at night, and someone made up a girlfriend for him and then scared himself?

But soon, Yin Jiu's logic grasped the key point. With such a relationship between them, why should he give him a girlfriend?

At this moment, facing Yin Jiu's doubts, Ning Changyue was very persistent and said stubbornly: "You will have it in the future."

After all, most people will get married and have children, and by then there may not be room for him in their home.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would play two women at the same time? Or do you think I'm the kind of person who is afraid of other people's strange looks?" For a moment, Yin Jiu wanted to get angry, but he still held himself back.

He let go of Ning Changyue, sat up and turned on the light.

Ning Changyue thought he was going to leave, so she hugged his arm.

After a few seconds of stalemate, Yin Jiu forced himself to think calmly. Now he finally understood that Ning Changyue was in a bad mood in the afternoon and it had nothing to do with whether it was a misunderstanding or not. He was just imagining that Ning Changyue had found a girlfriend.

But thinking about it the other way around, why would Ning Changyue think in this way? Given the two of them...

What is their relationship now?

Yin Jiu suddenly realized that he seemed to have never confessed his feelings to Ning Changyue, nor had he ever said that he liked him.

In Yin Jiu's view, it was a tacit adjustment period, but in Ning Changyue's view? Maybe not. It was no wonder that he would think too much when she followed him home without knowing why.

After calming down completely, Yin Jiu asked tentatively: "Ning Changyue, what do you think our relationship is now?"

Without hesitation, Ning Changyue quickly answered: "Family."

Yin Jiu said: "To be more precise, who am I to you?"

Ning Changyue asked uncertainly: "Brother?"

Yin Jiu: “…”

He was silent for a long time. Ning Changyue thought about it carefully and gave the answer he thought Yin Jiu might want to give: "Dad?"

Fuck! How ridiculous!

At this moment, this was the only thought left in Yin Jiu's mind. He had never encountered anything more absurd than this in his life. Even resurrection from the dead was not as absurd as this!
