Chapter 4 Schrodinger's Ex-Boyfriend

The misunderstanding was resolved, but I still got lectured.

After all, sending the child out of the house in the middle of the night was indeed a bit excessive.

Yin Jiu felt so wronged that he could only admit it. When asked, he said that he had quarreled with the child and the child was in a bad mood.

It was difficult to get rid of him.

Yin Jiu stood at the entrance and confronted the child: "Ning Changyue?"

The child didn't answer, but lowered his head and put his hands behind his back.

Yin Jiu was not a patient person. After waiting for a while and getting no response, he was too lazy to bother himself.

He communicated with the system in his mind: "Does this child have any character flaws?"

System: "Probably. He doesn't appear much in the novel and barely speaks. He must have some communication problems."

"Okay." Yin Jiu was completely out of temper.

This is also the reason why he changed his words before.

Although this child looks small, he is actually already seventeen years old and has graduated from high school. He will probably be an adult in a few months.

He is not an important character in the novel, but he is not a marginal character either. His name is Ning Changyue, a nice name, like a girl's name. He is Li Hsin-chu's cousin.

After a moment's thought, Yin Jiu roughly guessed what had happened.

It is estimated that after the reborn alcoholic regained consciousness, he couldn't get through to his own phone, so he looked up a relative's phone number and called him.

Then the silly kid who was called came running over in the middle of the night.

Yin Jiu glanced at the child's thin arms and legs, and became even more displeased with the drunkard on the bed.

This is really ridiculous, they asked such a small person to come to the rescue, he doesn't look very smart, and he is not afraid of buy one get one free offer.

Not wanting to stay here for even a second longer, Yin Jiu put out the cigarette he was holding and said to the child, "Your brother is very drunk and won't wake up for a while. I'm going to get a room to sleep in. If you don't mind the smell here, stay here. If you do, stay at my place. You can sleep if you want, or not."

Yin Jiu felt that he had made himself clear, so he opened the door and walked out without waiting for anyone to respond.

If he met this child, it would be convenient to take care of him, but the child is seventeen years old, not seven, so he has no obligation to take care of him. He can just give a mention, but Yin Jiu is not willing to do more.

Before Yin Jiu closed the door, the child swiftly scurried out, and when he turned his head, the person was already behind him.

What kind of weird quirk is that? You like hiding behind people, right?

Listening to the almost inaudible footsteps behind him, Yin Jiu distractedly asked the system: "Why didn't you tell me in the elevator that he was Li Xinzhu's younger brother?"

System: "Do you think it's my fault?"

Oh, it can still make a sound.

Yin Jiu didn't pursue this issue any further, but instinctively felt that something was wrong. The system wanted him to follow the plot so much, but it didn't remind him when he met the relevant characters. Not to mention that it was too angry to say anything, the system wasn't that naive, right?

In short, this character is either a truly insignificant marginal figure, or he is hiding some important plot that the system feels is not suitable for him to know.

There was too little information available, so Yin Jiu had no way of guessing.

But who cares? He never thought about following the plot and just drawing the water. Is he really going to be that environmentalist?

Not to mention Li Xinzhu, Yin Jiu would avoid anyone and anything related to him.★

The same goes for the kid behind him. If he didn't look stupid and was afraid of getting implicated if something happened to him, he wouldn't even look at him.

Most of the time, Yin Jiu felt that he was still quite cold-blooded.

Yin Jiu went to the front desk and booked another room. He was not so stingy with himself and booked a deluxe twin room. He brought his wife back and lay down on the bed, not wanting to move.

Including the flight, the journey took more than fifteen hours, and he still hadn't adjusted to the jet lag. He was really sleepy.

As for the children he brought back, he really didn't have the energy to take care of them.

Before going to bed, Yin Jiu discussed with the system: "My safety is in your hands. If the child moves in any unusual way, remember to wake me up."

Then, regardless of whether the system responded or not, I fell asleep immediately.

The system thought he was worrying too much, but since he was free anyway, he might as well keep an eye on the kid.

After staring at it for a while, I actually felt a little bit in sympathy with Yin Jiu's worries.

The child didn't want to sleep either. He lay on the bed and looked at the person sleeping in the next bed.

Most of the lights in the house were turned off, leaving only the bathroom light as a night light. In the semi-darkness, he took a long time to move, but his gaze never shifted. Under the hair that half-covered his eyes, his pupils reflected a faint light, like some kind of nocturnal animal staring at its prey.

Don’t mention it, it’s quite creepy.

The system flipped through the plot about Ning Changyue. It wasn't long, but it wasn't a positive plot.

Strictly speaking, this character in the middle and late stages can be considered a villain who pushes the emotional line forward.

But... there are some things that are difficult for the system to evaluate.

So it doesn't judge.

…

The next morning, Yin Jiu was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone.

When he was fully awake, the caller had hung up. He could vaguely hear a few low voices responding, which were very soft and pleasant.

It sounds nice.

It turns out that he is not dumb.

Yin Jiu yawned and sat up, and asked the child sitting in the next bed: "Is your brother awake?"

There was a soft response from the other side, but the nasal tone was too soft.

"Okay, I'll take a shower first, and then meet him in the living room." After saying that, without caring whether they had agreed on a time or not, he got out of bed and went to take a shower.

The sound of dripping water was heard.

The system consciously did not follow, but even if it did, the frosted glass could not completely conceal the view, and although it could not see the specific scene, it could clearly interpret all the other party's body movements.

Yin Jiu came out wrapped in a bath towel, holding his changed clothes in one hand and wiping his dripping hair with the other. He heard a series of small noises and looked to the side. The child who was sitting in the middle of the bed had shrunk to the head of the bed, his back pressed against the bed board, his hands hugging his knees, only a pair of eyes showing as he peeked at him.

It is resistance that comes from within and is unmistakable.

Yin Jiu thought it was funny. It was very common for seventeen or eighteen-year-olds to fall in love, but Yin Jiu couldn't think of anything wrong. In fact, he was only two years older than the other party, but in Yin Jiu's eyes, that curled up ball was just a child who was no different from a junior high school student.

Instead of suspecting that the other party was afraid of what he might do, Yin Jiu believed in another possibility.

He said in a teasing tone: "Why? Are you afraid that I will catch you and take you to take a shower?"

Too idle.

Not surprisingly, it was ignored.

Yin Jiu felt a little bored, turned around and wiped his hair: "Go brush your teeth, and then go downstairs."

The other party was quite obedient in this regard and got out of bed quietly.

When he came out after brushing his teeth, Yin Jiu had already put on his clothes and his hair was half dry and no longer dripping with water.

After thinking about it, Yin Jiu took off the watch he had just put on and put it in his pocket.

It's just a simple sports watch, not a high-end luxury item, but also not suitable for a poor man.

The two walked out of the room one after the other.

Yin Jiu was the first to walk out of the elevator, looked around the lobby, and saw Li Xinzhu sitting in the rest area.

The other person was staring at this side impatiently. When his eyes met, he was stunned for a moment.

Then he stood up excitedly and took a few quick steps towards this side. His eyes and expression were very complicated, as if he was in a dream. He wanted to get closer, but didn't dare to.

I'm almost crying.

It's a bit exaggerated, but Yin Jiu has read the original description. In the plot, after waking up the next morning, the reborn man saw the man lying next to him. He felt as if he was still dreaming and whispered in his heart: I seem to have dreamed of him. How great! He still looks the same as when he was a teenager.

It was quite poetic, but Yin Jiu had no obligation to care about Chongsheng Ge's feelings. He just glanced at him coldly, turned around, and went to the front desk to check out.

As soon as he turned around, Ning Changyue, who was following closely behind him, was exposed to Li Xinzhu's sight.

With a frown on his face, Li Hsin-chu suddenly sobered up from the complex thoughts of being immersed in the joy of rebirth and meeting his first love again.

A sense of incongruity arises spontaneously. Why would these two people who have nothing in common come out of the elevator together?

Of course, Li Xinzhu didn’t think of it in an ambiguous way. He was just wondering what happened last night. Was it the butterfly effect?

Where is Lin Jin? Where did she go?

Has the nightmare from last life happened again?

He walked up to the two of them in silence and watched Yin Jiu communicate with the front desk about checking out.

The atmosphere was a bit depressing. The three people all had their own thoughts. One was preoccupied, one was half-mute, and the other was pretending to be a cool guy.

The smiling man straightened the corners of his lips, looking so cold that the system was a little uncomfortable.

But privately, Yin Jiu was still teasing the system: "System, you guys are a bit off. This guy was reborn with the memory of a parallel world, and then you asked me, who is in another parallel world and has no feelings for him, to act with him. This is actually considered playing, right? Are you sure this can be considered a sweet story?"

"What is the standard for a sweet story? Is it considered a sweet story if it has a happy ending?"

The system was actually a little confused, but thinking about those little worlds of sadomasochistic love, heart-to-heart stories that were labeled as sweet, it gave a positive answer: "If it ends in a happy ending, then it is of course a sweet story."

It was entangled by Yin Jiu, so it tacitly accepted Yin Jiu's theory of a parallel world.

That's a pretty low standard.

Yin Jiu instinctively curled his lips, but when he thought of his current personality, he tried to suppress it.

He thought he acted pretty well. A young couple in the cooling-off period, caught drunk on the street, and almost got picked up by someone. Anyone would be angry.

In serious cases, breaking up directly is not impossible.

No, how can the cooling-off period during a temporary separation not be considered a breakup?

Yin Jiu felt miserable because she already had an ex-boyfriend even before she had ever been in a relationship.

After checking out, Yin Jiu turned around with a cold face and said coldly: "Let's go, have breakfast, and then I'll take you home."

After saying this, he walked away without even looking at Li Xinzhu's expression.

Li Xinzhu wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally had no choice but to follow.
