Chapter 18 Such a vicious villain
"I'm eating so much that I'm about to vomit." Zhang Zhi rubbed his belly, which was obviously protruding, with satisfaction.
Chen Ningzhou followed him, dragging two suitcases. "You just wanted to eat a few plates of beef by yourself. I'm sure you'll pass out."
"Hey, you dead man, no one will think you are dumb if you don't speak." Zhang Zhi kicked a suitcase in Chen Ningzhou's hand one meter away while he was not paying attention.
"Oh, but you kicked Qin Yiyan."
Zhang Zhi turned his head to look at the dying Qin Yiyan behind them. He was hanging on Liang Qi, his other arm draped over Shen Xiyu's shoulder. His lips and face were abnormally pale, and he could barely open his eyes. He let the two of them take him away, but his mouth was busy, "I, I'm dying, I'm dying, Liang'er, call my mom, quickly, quickly..."
"Take a rest and stop screaming." Dai Meng was so angry that she laughed when she saw him still screaming like that.
"Brother, if you die, I will burn paper for you every year. Just relax and have peace of mind." Liang Qi hugged Qin Yiyan so that he could put more weight on himself.
"Look~it's him~who's going to plot, ah!" Qin Yiyan screamed in a suddenly higher pitched voice, and the sonorous and powerful shout attracted a large number of passers-by to look at him sideways.
Shen Xiyu silently put his head under Qin Yiyan's arm, which made it convenient for him to support him and also covered his face well.
"Why are you pinching me!" Qin Yiyan glared at him.
"Take a break, it's embarrassing." Shen Xiyu's voice was a little dull. She felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, but she endured it and didn't say anything. She had to carry so much luggage for several people and Qin Yiyan, who was suffering from altitude sickness. She hadn't reached the point where she couldn't bear it anymore and didn't want to cause trouble for them.
"Lao Liang~ look at her~" Qin Yiyan was also uncomfortable. Although he was next to her, he didn't notice Shen Xiyu's bad expression and continued to hum.
"Hello." Liang Qi ignored him and used his free hand to pull out his cell phone from his denim jacket to answer the call. "Xie Ge, we're almost there."
Liang Qi stopped walking after hearing what was said on the other side. "That's fine. One of our friends is starting to get altitude sickness."
After hanging up the phone, Liang Qi called out to the two people in front, "Take a break. I've asked the innkeeper to pick us up."
This inn was booked by an acquaintance of Liang Qi, and he was the one who had been in contact.
"Oh, I'm so tired. When the inn owner comes, I have to become sworn brothers with him." Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhi sat down on the suitcase and felt liberated.
Chen Ningzhou had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He was worried, "Are there enough seats? There are so many of us. If not, we can just walk first."
"That's enough."
The two looked at each other, and Chen Ningzhou said nothing more. He unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and drank half of it.
Zhang Zhi and his friend took four suitcases and three bags. The street was bumpy, and they had to carry all these things and weigh them as they walked. They were really tired.
"Oh, I should have chosen somewhere else."
When Dai Meng heard this, she slapped Zhang Zhi on the back of the head and said, "Before we went on this trip, we agreed not to say anything like that."
Zhang Zhi raised his hands and pursed his lips to beg for mercy.
Qin Yiyan helped them sit down on the ground slowly and recovered his strength. He really felt like vomiting on the way there just now.
Shen Xiyu also sat exhausted on the cement floor, hiding her eyes in her hat. She felt like there was a heater on her head, steaming her so hard that stars appeared in front of her eyes.
There are so many stars.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star...
Are you in class?
Am I asleep?
"Deskmate? Shen Xiyu? Shen Xiyu?"
What is Liang Qi shouting about? Isn't he afraid that Old Fangtou will hear him?
The only memory Shen Xiyu had before he passed out was that he fell into an arm that smelled a little familiar.
*
When Shen Xiyu regained consciousness, what caught his eye was the brown teak roof. Curtains with intricate patterns blocked the sunlight, and light spilled into the house from the edges. The room was dim and he couldn't see anything else. There was a blinding bright white in the corner, clearly illuminating Dai Meng's profile. She was curled up in a recliner, looking at her phone.
Shen Xiyu struggled to sit up. Dai Meng heard the noise, poured a glass of water into the thermos, and walked over quickly, "What's wrong?"
Shen Xiyu took the water and drank a few sips. Her dry and itchy throat felt much better. Her voice was still a little hoarse, "What's wrong with me?"
"What are you talking about? You just sat there without saying anything. We all thought you were tired and resting there. Liang Qi saw that something was wrong with you and went to call you, but you refused to respond. If he hadn't caught you, you would have fallen directly on the street."
It turns out it wasn't a dream...
Dai Meng saw her staring blankly at the wall without saying a word. "Just lie there and rest for a while. You're suffering from severe altitude sickness. The boss got you some medicine and oxygen. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me."
Shen Xiyu patted the back of Dai Meng's hand and said, "Don't worry, it's okay." She saw that Dai Meng was very anxious.
"Your situation is much worse than Qin Yiyan's. Can't you just hum a few lines like him? He's having fun down there now. I don't know what you're enduring." Dai Meng complained while tucking in the corner of Shen Xiyu's quilt.
"I didn't feel it." Shen Xiyu bent his fingers and scratched her, "Don't be angry."
The more Dai Meng watched her smile, the angrier she became. She simply stood up and handed Shen Xiyu's phone to her, "You take a break. I'll come up and check on you in a while. If you have anything, call us."
"Yeah." Shen Xiyu took the phone.
Dai Meng walked to the door, not knowing what she remembered. She turned around and said to Shen Xiyu, who was still sitting on the bed and watching her, "Come down for dinner in an hour. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me and I'll bring you something. Don't be afraid of trouble and try to be stubborn."
Shen Xiyu nodded quietly and obediently.
After seeing Dai Meng close the door, Shen Xiyu stood up and put on the slippers placed beside the bed. He felt a little dizzy after lying down for a long time, staggered and almost fell.
She went to the window and opened the heavy, thick velvet curtains. The light from outside the window filled the whole room. Shen Xiyu squinted her eyes because of the dazzle. After adjusting to the sunlight, she saw Liang Qi and a man with a crew cut and wearing a leather jacket sitting on a wooden stake downstairs, talking about something.

"Brother Shengrui...what's wrong?" Yu Xie tilted his head and held a cigarette in his mouth to light it for himself.
Liang Qi saw him trying to light a fire several times, but it was blown out by the wind every time. The weather in Shangri-La at this time of year was much colder than their place, and the air was dry. In the evening, there was often a cold wind that made people shiver.
He couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he turned sideways and made a semi-circle with his hands to block the wind for Yu Xie. Although he really didn't like the smell of smoke, he wouldn't stretch his hands so far as to touch Yu Xie's head. Although he usually called him brother, they were not of the same generation after all.
"That's it." Liang Qi didn't look at Yu Xie, but rubbed the lines on the palm of his hand, not knowing what to say.
"Alas." Yu Xie sighed deeply, and the smoke he exhaled dissipated in the air. Neither of them spoke for a while.
Liang Qi raised his head as if possessed by a ghost, and just happened to see Shen Xiyu standing by the window, wearing light yellow flannel pajamas and a hat with rabbit ears, looking at him with a sullen expression.
Liang Qi was scared every time he thought about this afternoon. He initially thought Shen Xiyu was tired and wanted to call her to help her with something in her hand. When she didn't respond, he felt something was wrong. He touched Shen Xiyu's shoulder lightly and she fell to the ground. Qin Yiyan was so scared that he woke up. He kept greeting the girl lying on Liang Qi's back on the way and stopped moaning. He blamed himself to death and thought that Shen Xiyu was in this state because she wanted to help him.
However, Liang Qi knew what was going on. She just saw that everyone was tired and didn't want to cause any trouble. She had been feeling uncomfortable for a long time, but she just kept it to herself.
Alas, someday she should change her ways and learn from Qin Yiyan.

Shen Xiyu saw Liang Qi staring at him from below and pointed at the screen of his mobile phone.
Shen Xiyu turned on her phone and Dai Meng had already fully charged it for her.
——Liang Qi: Are you feeling better?
——Magrim: It’s okay, I’ve recovered.
——Liang Qi: It’s nothing, you just fell down without saying a word.
——Magrim: Mengmeng told me that I didn’t feel uncomfortable at that time. I will pay attention next time.
——Liang Qi: You are just being stubborn. You can’t feel the fever of 38 degrees?
Chen Xiyu gritted her teeth. Why did he always try to sabotage her?
——Magrim: I know, I know.
Liang Qi looked at the girl's obviously perfunctory answer on the phone screen, and guessed that she would feel uncomfortable if he said too much.
But when he thought of Shen Xiyu's scorching body temperature at that time, he felt a surge of anger and always wanted to lecture her.
Trying hard to suppress his anger, Liang Qi asked Shen Xiyu.
Liang Qi: Come down to eat? It's almost ready. I'll go to the clinic later. It's not far from here.
Shen Xiyu thought about it. She couldn't really let Dai Meng bring her the meal. She had nothing to do now.
——Magrim: Okay.
——Liang Qi: Just go down that wooden staircase. I’ll be waiting for you downstairs.
——Magrim: Okay.
Shen Xiyu stared at the cold "Liang Qi" above the dialog box, and remembered his sharp and cold face that didn't look like a good person.
What? A cool guy with a mom-type personality?
She quietly went to his homepage, deleted the two words in the comment, and changed it to "mother-type personality".
Only now did she have time to take a good look at the house. The decoration style was very similar to the yak hotpot restaurant they had eaten at this afternoon. She didn't quite understand it, but it must be a local custom.
There was a faint aroma of solid wood in the room. Local thangkas were hung on the walls, the carpet at the door was embroidered with a pattern of the Eight Auspicious Treasures, and a copper pot was placed on the low table by the window. Chen Xiyu guessed that it was a butter tea set. They had also used similar utensils to serve butter tea this afternoon.
Although this trip was a bit of an ordeal, the flavor here is very different from the places Shen Xiyu liked to go before. It has an ancient and heavy feeling far away from the industrial city. It is an interesting city.
Shen Xiyu thought about it, changed into his sneakers, opened the door and went out in his pajamas.
The lights outside the house are all dim orange-yellow warm light, and the whole inn has an ancient and mysterious feeling.
Shen Xiyu easily found the stairs Liang Qi mentioned. They were not far from her room. The stairs were also covered with thick knitted patterned carpets, and Shen Xiyu made almost no sound when walking on them.
She went down the stairs and saw Liang Qi leaning against the door frame with his back to her. He had changed out of his denim jacket of the afternoon and put on a black hooded sweatshirt. The wind blew his hair back, and Shen Xiyu could smell the scent of shower gel from his fresh shower carried by the wind.
It wasn't the minty scent he usually had.
"Liang Qi." The girl called him from the stairs. Her voice was so soft and weary that she didn't even realize it, as if she was whispering to herself.
Liang Qi turned his head and was not surprised to see it was her, and curled the corners of his lips.
"Here I come."
From this angle, Shen Xiyu could see a shallow dimple on one side of his face. She actually wanted to ask the Creator why he gave such a sweet dimple to such a fierce-looking villain?
