Chapter 7 Fish Have Bones

Only those who have taken shortcuts know how happy it is.

Since completing the second consecutive check-in, Yin Jiu began a happy life of checking in every other day.

Moreover, he learned from the system that the next subplot point would be at the end of August, when a good friend from high school got his driver's license during the summer vacation, and his family gave him a luxury car, so he invited several good friends from high school to celebrate together.

Among them are Yin Jiu and Li Xinzhu.

Even without reading the original text, Yin Jiu could guess some of the plot.

Perhaps at this celebration, the poor boy "Yin Jiu" might be stimulated, or even take things too far. This classmate might even be his rival in love, and he would confess his love to Li Hsin-chu that night, which would further trigger Yin Jiu's inner inferiority complex, and he might take things too far by saying some hurtful words out of greed, thus causing further twists and turns in their relationship.

After all, the novel has just begun. There are no twists and turns, no changes, and it starts off sweetly. What are readers reading for?

After hearing his guess about the plot, the system was sweating profusely. How about giving you the pen and writing it? However, on the surface, the system still gave a negative answer with righteous words: "How is it possible? Don't think you are too smart. If you can guess everything so easily, do you still have a job as an author?"

"Is that so?" Yin Jiu thought about it and it made sense. He stroked his chin and gave a second version: "Could it be that the classmate with the luxury car has a crush on me?"

Yin Jiu clapped his hands, "So that's how it is. I understand."

The system is tired, what do you understand?

"I was the one who was confessed to. Of course, I would not have agreed, but there must have been some misunderstandings. Maybe I was kissed forcibly, or maybe I was concerned about our friendship as classmates and did not refuse immediately, which led to misunderstandings. The uncle happened to see it, and the uncle felt that he had been betrayed again. He became disheartened and decided to focus on his career."

The misunderstanding will surely be resolved, but not quickly.

Yin Jiu sighed: "The author really has a good plot."

The system thought: No, it’s because you are really good at writing plots. It would be a waste of your talent if you didn’t write a novel.

The system, not wanting to be tortured by him any longer, reminded him, "You should go clock in."

Damn it, how come it can say the word "punch in" so naturally now?

After completing the daily system tasks, Yin Jiu was very satisfied.

Such a good dog...such a good system, it would be a shame not to play with it.

Yin Jiu changed into his going-out clothes and suddenly realized that he was very busy recently. He was either on his way out or on his way home.

For a person like him who stays at home occasionally, the number of times he has gone out recently has far exceeded the total number of times he has gone out during past holidays.

Yin Jiu is the type of person who either stays at home for months at a time, or goes out to play and doesn't go home for two months. He fluctuates between being a total otaku and being restless.

The variability of his personality is fully reflected in him.

After putting on his newly bought sports watch, Yin Jiu suddenly remembered something: "System, I may not be able to attend this party."

System: "Again! What happened!"

Yin Jiu explained: "I am not familiar with classmate Haoche. We haven't been in touch for a year. So I think he will not invite me."

The system was angry: "Is there anyone you are familiar with in this world?"

"System, I feel a little hurt when you speak like this." These were originally somewhat sad words, but when they came out of Yin Jiu's mouth, they lacked credibility.

I don't know what's going on. According to the original description, he is a very gentle, tolerant and decent boy.

But the person in front of me looks not serious in every way. His tone of voice is quite gentle, but there is a hook at the end of his voice. Every word he says sounds like he is flirting with others.

The system didn't believe at all that he would feel hurt.

However... thinking back to his background as an orphan whose parents had both passed away, the system became uncertain again.

"I... I don't care, you figure it out yourself." After saying that, the system added, "Anyway, with your many tricks, you will definitely be able to think of a solution."

Yin Jiu felt wronged. Why did this system always like to slander innocent people for no reason?

It was indeed getting late, so Yin Jiu stopped joking and jogged towards the check-in spot.

Thinking that there was still half a month left to clock in, Yin Jiu felt exhausted. Falling in love was indeed a time-consuming, laborious and troublesome thing.

…

Thanks to the system's urging, Yin Jiu arrived ten minutes earlier than usual today.

Yin Jiubai was bored and looked around to kill time.

With a glance, I caught a glimpse of half a head hiding behind the green belt and peeking at me.

By the way, after changing the clock-in time, I can always see this sneaky kid.

Yin Jiu didn't even go up to say hello, and the other party just stayed quietly in a corner.

I don't know how many mosquitoes I have fed over the past few years, but it can be considered a great merit.

There was a lot of gossip outside the bar, and even though he was inconspicuous there, he was not completely undisturbed.

Yin Jiu had also seen drunkards with evil intentions, but this kid was quite smart and would run away when the person was still a long way away.

He may not seem very smart, but he has his own way of survival.

Yin Jiu never looks down on anyone, because being alive is a powerful thing in itself.

Yin Jiu could roughly guess why the other party was here, and it was probably Li Xinzhu who told him to do so.

If someone can call you in the middle of the night, he is an honest person no matter how late he is.

However, Yin Jiu is right to disagree.

After browsing the news for a while, Yin Jiu finally passed the time and completed two days of clocking in. Yin Jiu turned around and headed towards the green belt.

He stood still and looked down at the child sitting on the curb.

After staring at each other in silence for a while, Yin Jiu smiled and said, "Kid, are you hungry? Do you want to go eat something together?"

Just think of it as an occasional outburst of his kindness.

Ning Changyue looked up at him without blinking.

Yin Jiu reached out and patted his head. He didn't dodge. His hand felt unexpectedly soft. "Let's go. If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your agreement."

He took a few steps, and then quietly, a shadow appeared from behind and covered his shadow.

Yin Jiu didn't look back and walked towards a nearby late-night snack shop.

The roadside food stalls had a rich variety of dishes. Yin Jiu saw that the ingredients were fresh, so he ordered a pot of shrimp porridge, some barbecued meat, and two bottles of juice.

Business was good, and there was still room at the table for four outside the store. Yin Jiu sat over and took two tissues to wipe the table.

After a while, a person as quiet as a shadow sat down quietly beside him.

As soon as he sat down, he could not be ignored.

Although he is a person with very little presence, the way he looks at people is very present. It can't be said to be aggressive, it's just simple and can't be ignored.

If I have to describe it, it would probably be a cat or a dog that stays by your side obediently when you are busy, ready to act at any time.

As long as they are given a little signal, they will jump up happily.

Well, even Yin Jiu himself felt that this feeling was unrealistic.

The table was not big and the seats were too close, so Yin Jiu could clearly see the faces of the people around him without even looking hard.

Actually, this was the first time he looked at the child carefully.

The little guy looked thin and small, but his skin was pretty good, white and clean. The only problem was that his hair was too long, and it looked like it was piercing his eyes.

But if you look closely, he is indeed a very cute child, except that his clothes and makeup are too sloppy, so his perfect appearance is only 70%. Maybe this is a cover-up.

Not wanting to explore anything, Yin Jiu stretched out his finger and tapped the same spot on his face, and asked him, "Here, isn't it itchy?"

There was a big bump on the boss. I don’t know which mosquito was so lucky to have a full meal.

Ning Changyue blinked in confusion, then raised her hand to touch the bright red bump, shook her head, and then nodded.

Yin Jiu couldn't figure out whether he wanted to say it was itchy or not, but how could a normal person not feel itchy after being bitten by a mosquito and getting such a big bump?

"Wait here, I'll go over there to buy some things." Yin Jiu pointed to the pharmacy across the street, gave instructions, and walked over there.

After a moment, I looked back and confirmed that the other party had not caught up.

Quite obedient.

Yin Jiu thought so.

It didn't take long for Yin Jiu to come back with his shopping.

He opened the cotton swab and the anti-itching ointment, dipped a little on the cotton swab, bent over, and applied it to the big red spot on Ning Changyue's left cheek.

Maybe he was born without the sense of shyness, because even at such a close distance, the child stared at him straight in the eyes without avoiding him at all.

Yin Jiu raised his eyes and clearly saw the reflections immersed in various lights and shadows in those round and bright pupils. It seemed to be against the starlight, which made him instinctively want to avoid it.

Frowning, Yin Jiu suddenly realized that he seemed to have made an unwise decision.

He stood up, threw away the cotton swab, turned back, and Yin Jiu sat in the corner.

The various noisy sounds from the food stalls dispelled the uneasiness that came from an unknown source.

The first thing that came up was the shrimp porridge. Yin Jiu scooped a bowl and drank it slowly.

After drinking the porridge, my stomach feels very comfortable.

After Yin Jiu finished his bowl of porridge, Ning Changyue slowly scooped a bowl but did not drink it, as if he wanted to wait for the porridge to cool down naturally.

Yin Jiu didn't care whether he drank or not.

Soon, the ordered skewers came up one after another. In addition to some common skewers, Yin Jiu also ordered two fish.

The fish was quite big, one was enough for two people, but Yin Jiu was a bit of a loner at heart, and was reluctant to share things he liked.

He ate a piece of fish belly, thought it tasted good, and started to enjoy it.

There were two fish, one placed in front of each of them. He ate it with relish, and Ning Changyue also watched with intent.

After the fish came up, his eyes fell on the grilled fish. He was not seen eating it, but the sound of his saliva swallowing was hard to ignore.

Yin Jiu put down his chopsticks and asked him jokingly, "Eat if you want. One for each person. They are all yours."

Ning Changyue stared at the grilled fish and said slowly and softly, "There are bones."‖

"What?" Yin Jiu asked instinctively.

Then he heard Ning Changyue say.

"Fish have bones."
