Chapter 50 “You two don’t even want to act anymore…
"Why are there only three of us? Where are the other three?" Dai Meng asked.
"Oh." Shen Xiyu remembered that Chen Ningzhou had mentioned this to her a few days ago, "Zhang Zhi and the others seem to be attending a cram school, and their schedule is super full."
"These two are going to roll again?" Qin Yiyan was not happy when he heard this.
"Otherwise, it's like you." Dai Meng complained about him.
Shen Xiyu also asked, "Are you outside?"
"Don't mention it. My parents are on a business trip again, and my aunt is on leave too. I've been eating takeout for three days, and today I was really craving roast duck, so I went out for some. Their takeout just doesn't taste that good."
"You eat quite a lot..." Dai Meng's camera shook, as if her phone had fallen, and the sound was muffled and could not be heard clearly.
Then he suddenly went offline, leaving Qin Yiyan and Shen Xiyu looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Huh? What's going on?" Shen Xiyu asked.
"I don't know. I'll invite her again."
Unexpectedly, Dai Meng still didn't answer the call and hung up automatically.
"By the way, where's Liang Qi?" Qin Yiyan propped his phone in front of him and ate his roast duck hands-free. "Aren't you two together?"
Shen Xiyu moved the camera to the side. "Here it is."
The floor heating temperature was too high today. Liang Qi felt hot, so he only wore a short-sleeved shirt on his upper body and sat on the sofa, holding Shen Xiyu in one hand and reading a book he had found at Shen Xiyu's house in the other hand.
Just now, Shen Xiyu was looking at his own face from an angle, so he couldn't see Liang Qi's presence.
"Hey, I, oh, no." Qin Yiyan's mental journey cannot be described in two or three sentences.
In the end, all he could manage was, "Aren't you two going to quit acting?"
Shen Xiyu was amused by his expression, and Liang Qi also entered the camera with her face close to hers, leaning on Shen Xiyu as if she had no bones.
She discovered that Liang Qi really liked physical contact with her. In the past half month, as long as the two of them had nothing to do, whether watching a movie or playing games, he liked to let Chen Xiyu nestle in his arms. She seriously suspected that she was being treated as a large doll.
Qin Yiyan had never seen Liang Qi like this since he was a child. He was like a male vixen, with none of his former glory. His expression was both coquettish and complacent.
"When did you get together?" But he knew it was only a matter of time, so he wasn't shocked for long.
"I won't tell you." Liang Qi stretched out the arm that was around Shen Xiyu, covered Shen Xiyu's mouth, and answered him lazily.
Shen Xiyu was caught off guard with half of his face covered. He felt suffocated and pinched Liang Qi's hand lightly.
"Go away. It's hot in the room." She struggled.
"No, don't." Liang Qi moved forward.
Qin Yiyan on the phone couldn't stand it any longer. What did these two people think of themselves?
"MD, hang up, don't want to see you two anymore,"
Qin Yiyan left this sentence and hung up the phone.
“Eh…”
"Don't worry about him." Liang Qi snatched her phone and put it aside. "Let's continue watching the movie."
"oh."
Shen Xiyu did not object. She found a comfortable position in his arms and stayed there motionless.
After a while, Dai Meng initiated another video call.
Shen Xiyu leaned over Liang Qi and reached for the phone in the corner.
"Hey, what happened just now?"
"Someone jumped in our building and the internet went down immediately."
Dai Meng's younger brother kept squeezing his head towards the camera. When Shen Xiyu greeted him, the little boy blushed and hid aside.
Dai Meng looked at him with disdain, "Look at what you've accomplished."
"By the way, I've been on such a long rant that I almost forgot why I called in the first place."
"What's wrong?" Shen Xiyu turned the camera to the side and only focused on himself.
At this time, Qin Yiyan joined the connection again with a disapproving tone.
"Where did you get the cat? Do you want to raise it? Is it a female cat or a male cat?" Dai Meng excitedly asked a series of questions.
Shen Xiyu stood up and walked to the back, pointing the camera at the kitten resting in the blanket.
The kitten, which had its eyes closed, opened its eyes immediately when it felt someone approaching. Shen Xiyu teased it with her fingers, and it didn't dodge. It rubbed its chin against her fingers twice.
Chen Xiyu inexplicably thought of Liang Qi who had just rubbed against her. They were exactly the same, except that one was super large and the other was mini.
"The aunt downstairs gave it to me. I've been thinking about it for a long time." Shen Xiyu's voice became cheerful. "Isn't it cute?"
"So cute." Dai Meng's eyes lit up. "I want to come over and play with you. Is there anyone else at your house, Xi Yu?"
other people?
Shen Xiyu turned his head and looked at Liang Qi who was sitting on the sofa.
He should,
Not counting others...
"No, come and play."
Qin Yiyan snorted coldly, "Then I'll go too."
Shen Xiyu raised his middle finger at him.
"By the way, when you two come, please stop by the supermarket and pick up some food for me."
"Can you cook? I'll bring you some food." Qin Yiyan challenged her.
"If you keep calling, I won't open the door for you."
“…Black-hearted.”
After hanging up the phone, Shen Xiyu squatted on the ground and teased the kitten, annoying it so much that it tucked its head into its belly.
There was a sudden sound behind my ear.
"Is it sleepy?"
Shen Xiyu shuddered and slapped Liang Qi lightly, "You scared me to death. Why are you walking silently?"
"You're hard of hearing, little old woman." Liang Qi pulled her ear.
"You are the old woman. Besides, go back to your own home."
"Oh." Although Liang Qi was not convinced, he had to answer obediently under the pressure.
"You seem to have become a completely different person after falling in love." Chen Xiyu looked back at him.
"Have I become more handsome?" Liang Qi touched his face.
She was talking about something unnecessary.
"Changed, how should I put it?" Chen Xiyu thought about the wording, "Anyway, it doesn't match your previous cool guy image at all."
"So that's the image I had in your mind before."
"But you are just a childish ghost now." Shen Xiyu pinched his face with both hands.
Liang Qi squints his eyes and lets her pinch him.
"Yes, you have two cats."
Shen Xiyu was stunned by his sudden words, his face instantly flushed to the top of his head, and he pretended to be busy letting go of his hand and fiddling with the kitten's blanket.
"What's wrong with you?" Liang Qi leaned in front of her and asked, with clear ridicule and an indescribable feeling in his eyes that made people indulge.
Asking despite knowing the answer.
Shen Xiyu changed the subject, "Qin Yiyan and Mengmeng will be here soon, what are we having for dinner?"
"Let them starve." Liang Qi looked into Shen Xiyu's eyes.
"So you were just pretending before." Shen Xiyu pretended to be surprised. "You are a scheming man. You pretend to be gentle and considerate, but in fact you secretly play crickets on your friends when they come over."
"I want to expose you." Shen Xiyu picked up his phone to record a video.
Liang Qi lifted her legs and carried her to the bay window amid Shen Xiyu's exclamations.
"Yes, how can I deceive you if I don't pretend?" Liang Qi said without hesitation.
"fraud……"

Coincidentally, Dai Meng and Qin Yiyan met at the entrance of the community and came up together.
Shen Xiyu was on the phone with her editor upstairs, so when Liang Qi heard the knock on the door, he instinctively went to open it without thinking much.
Dai Meng, who was outside the door, saw him stunned. She looked at the door behind her with some suspicion, and then looked at Liang Qi in front of her. The house number was correct.
Qin Yiyan saw what she was thinking at a glance and pushed Dai Meng.
"Come in, come in, it's freezing, you knocked on the right door."
After Dai Meng came to her senses, she saw Liang Qi's homely clothes and familiar attitude, and tactfully didn't ask any questions.
"Where is Shen Xiyu?"
After changing his shoes, Qin Yiyan sat on the chair and picked up the potato chips on the table and started eating without hesitation.
"Upstairs." Liang Qi kicked the leg of his chair, almost making him fall over.
Qin Yiyan chased Liang Qi and cursed him.
Dai Meng put the bag on the dining table on the other side. She had slept at Shen Xiyu's house for two nights before and was very familiar with the layout.
"I bought some dishes and snacks that Xi Yu likes and put them on the dining table."
Liang Qi took out his phone and said, "I'll transfer the money to you."
"You?" Dai Meng asked hesitantly, "Will you transfer it to me?"
Liang Qi also realized that this seemed inappropriate. After all, Shen Xiyu probably hadn't told them formally yet.
Qin Yiyan saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he stood up and patted Liang Qi.
"Why are you being so polite? Can we get Chen Xiyu to reimburse us? Let's see how I can rip you off tonight."
Dai Meng also laughed it off, "That's right, if you keep being so polite I'll leave."
At this time, Shen Xiyu came down from upstairs. "Why are you three standing so neatly? In formation?"
Although it wasn't a nice thing to say, her joke made everyone secretly relieved.
Two girls squatted beside the cat's nest. Although the kitten was alert, it was not very afraid of people. When Dai Meng touched it, it just raised its eyes and looked at it without moving. It seemed as if it was forced to come out to work and let her touch it.
This made Dai Meng very excited. She had wanted to have a cat since she was a child, but she had never been able to do so because her mother was allergic to cat hair.
"Have you named it?" Dai Meng asked Shen Xiyu.
This question reminded her that Shen Xiyu had actually forgotten about this.
"No."
"Hurry up and pick one now." Dai Meng urged.
Shen Xiyu thought about it over and over again.
"I don't even know what it's called."
Qin Yiyan, who was playing games on the sofa, raised his controller and said, "Call Liang Qi!"
"Go to hell." Liang Qi scolded him, "Watch the screen, you're getting beaten to death by the other team again."
“…”
In the end, it was Shen Xiyu who made the final decision and called it sesame paste.
Dai Meng complained, "You picked that name too casually."
Shen Xiyu stood up and said, "It's not casual at all. Sesame paste is the most delicious thing in the world."
"I agree!" Qin Yiyan raised the handle again.
The result was a dunk by Liang Qi.
"Let's stay here tonight." Shen Xiyu suggested to Dai Meng.
"Well," Dai Meng said hesitantly, "Will it bother you two if I sleep here?"
"What are you thinking about?" Shen Xiyu bent his fingers and tapped her head.
"You two are..."
"Stop, stop, stop fantasizing." Shen Xiyu glanced at the two people on the sofa with a guilty conscience, but their voices were low just now and they didn't react much, so they probably didn't hear it.
"We don't live together tonight."
