Chapter 25 (Catching Bugs)
"Do you also hope that your baby will always get first place in the exam?"
The empty cup rolled to the ground and there was a moment of silence in the clinic.
Chi Liu was the first to come back to his senses. He smiled blankly: "…Those two cups of water just floated up and fell to the ground by themselves, right?"
The female doctor and Chi Liu looked at each other, also a little confused: Didn't she just say that children are like this occasionally, it's not a big problem, it's just an overflow of ability, why does Xiao Chi act like he knows nothing.
Just as he was about to say something, the secretary sitting next to him stood up and stepped forward. He looked at the female doctor and said, "I heard that you occasionally perform magic tricks for your guests to relax them. I finally saw it today. The effect is really good!"
Chi Liu: “?” Such considerate and interesting service is provided here?
Female doctor: “Ah?” When will she be able to perform magic?
Secretary Wen winked at the other party desperately, blinking her eyeballs almost popping out. The female doctor finally got what she was thinking. She slammed the table, looked at Chi Liu, and said seriously, "Yes! It's magic!"
Chi Liu: "I see." He curved his eyes and praised sincerely: "Your skills are good enough for a professional magician. I can't see any flaws at all!"
The female doctor remained calm: ".....Thank you for the compliment!"
Secretary Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiang Xiang looked at this scene thoughtfully. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized:
Koike doesn't seem to know what they are...
And Secretary Wen didn't seem to want Xiaochi to know what they were...
Xiang Xiang pursed her lips, feeling a little scared and sad.
Chi Liu did not notice those emotions. He put away the lists, refused the secretary's offer to do it for him, and went to the pharmacy downstairs to get folic acid and various trace elements that needed to be supplemented. He always enjoyed doing every little thing for the children himself, whether intuitively or indirectly.
It was done quickly. Chi Liu returned to the clinic and casually threw a small box to Secretary Wen, and then handed a box of vanilla ice cream bought from the vending machine to Xiang Xiang.
Xiang Xiang's lost eyes suddenly brightened up. He held the box of ice cream in his hands cherishingly and said thank you in a low voice.
Secretary Wen looked at what he got - eye drops?
Chi Liu: "Just now I saw you blinking and seemed uncomfortable, so I bought it for you."
Secretary Wen: “….”
Ah, it turns out that Xiaochi noticed him winking at someone!
After a while, a feeling of guilt mixed with warmth surged in his heart. He carefully put away the box and looked at Chi Liu with curved eyes: "Thank you."
Chi Liu raised an eyebrow: "You're welcome."
After saying goodbye to the doctor, Chi Liu left the clinic with his luggage and Secretary Wen.
The female doctor looked at Chi Liu who had already walked to the door, opened her mouth, but still did not stop him to remind him of some so-called "truth" - it is arrogant to arbitrarily interfere with the cause and effect of others under the banner of doing good for others.
She lowered her eyes, smiled freely, and quickly immersed herself in the next task.
…
The setting sun swept across the world for the umpteenth time.
Secretary Wen was driving in the gradually lit neon lights. Xiang Xiang was sitting in the passenger seat, eating the ice cream that Chi Liu bought for him with great care. Chi Liu was sitting in the back seat, looking at the trial operation flow sheet that the finance department had sent him earlier. His eyes narrowed as he looked at it: Although it had been estimated in advance, he did not expect that the bar flow during the trial operation phase would be so good!
This is only under the premise that due to his health reasons, he only opened during the day!
Chi Liu gently stroked his abdomen with his hand and smiled like a cunning little fox: Well, now I don’t have to worry about not being able to raise a child.
He looked towards the front row with joy: "Tomorrow I'll treat you to a big meal, an amusement park, and a movie!"
Anyway, if the man hadn't been on a sudden business trip, he would have been going out to play tomorrow.
Secretary Wen smiled as he turned the steering wheel: "Why are you inviting us?"
Chi Liu raised an eyebrow: "Does it count if I'm about to get rich?"
Secretary Wen smiled even more: "Of course! I'd be disrespectful to refuse it."
It’s so nice to have a friend who is about to become a wealthy man and whom you can cling to!
He paused for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking of. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his lake-green eyes showing a little disappointment. He said carefully, "Xiao Chi, if one day you find that we are not what you imagined," he paused delicately, "including our appearance. Will you forgive us?"
Or will you allow us to stay with you?
This should be the biggest worry of the boss who has always been arrogant and self-centered.
He really wanted to tell Koike the truth, but he was afraid that knowing "those" things itself would cause Koike endless trouble, so he fell into a moral dilemma.
He really, really cares about and values this friend...
Xiang Xiang's body stiffened when he heard that. He put down the ice cream in his hand a little sadly, lowered his head and bit his lower lip.
Chi Liu: “A secret that is hard to tell?” Why are these two people suddenly so awkward?
Secretary Wen: "Forget it."
Chi Liu lowered his eyes and thought seriously for a moment, then he smiled frankly: "You are my friends. As long as it does not involve moral bottom line, no matter what you become, you are my friends."
After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and teased, "Also, your tone today is so cheesy that it's unbearable. Did you do something to let me down?"
Secretary Wen: “!!!” You’re sweating all over!
Chi Liu looked thoughtfully at the still uneasy faces of Xiang Xiang and Secretary Wen in the front mirror, smiled, and joked like a bully: "How about you first ask me for an advance of forgiveness and apologize? If you really do something wrong in the future, I will forgive you."
He knew his friends well enough to know they would never hurt him.
The next second, Secretary Wen said quickly and neatly: "I'm sorry."
Xiang Xiang followed closely with his head down: "I'm sorry."
Chi Liu twitched his mouth: "..." It's too fast!
So what did you do?
Secretary Wen, with the sense of responsibility of a reliable subordinate, asked, "Where's the boss?"
Chi Liu, who was stood up for a date, smiled slightly: "He doesn't have that kind of treatment."
Secretary Wen, who was mourning for her boss, was flattered and gloating at the same time. For the first time, she couldn't control her expression and her whole face was distorted.
Chi Liu really didn't want to watch anymore, so he twitched his lips and looked away.
…
After returning home, Chi Liu unbuttoned his coat while looking thoughtfully at the front door of their house - he has always been very sensitive to sight, he always feels... that something is looking at him there.
That gaze was so substantial, as if it was licking his back and the back of his neck...
But it was just a door.
Chi Liu had already taken off his coat. He shook off this inexplicable thought from his mind and habitually checked the pockets of his coat that was about to be thrown into the washing machine. Then, he suddenly opened his eyes wide -
He took out a finger bone from his pocket!
It was the finger bone he threw into the glass jar!
Chi Liu stared at the white bones in his palm in astonishment: When did this thing get into his pocket and follow him out the door!
The cat's eye of the gate, which housed a wisp of consciousness and could control other organs, rolled its eyes around, happily watching the young man's surprise, its pupils standing up excitedly like an animal!
Secretary Wen helped Chi Liu wash the strawberries while looking towards the door in complete silence - Tsk, the boss's behavior is really scary! If he doesn't tell Xiao Chi, will he ask for a second forgiveness in advance?
Will Xiaochi forgive him? QAQ
Ah, it’s all the fault of that boss who was so perverted in his protection!
Chi Liu twitched his lips and threw the finger bone into the original glass jar - did he take it out when he didn't remember?
It is said that pregnant women may experience memory loss.
Tsk, I really don’t want to continue thinking about this kind of “token of love” that seems to exist in horror movies.
Chi Liu quickly put it out of his mind and started preparing dinner.
After dinner, it was soap opera time and it was Xiangxiang's turn to use the remote control, so he turned on the Cartoon Channel.
There was a cartoon playing there with a cute little bear as the protagonist.
Xiang Xiang said seriously: "Baby likes to watch this."
Chi Liu laughed and asked, "How do you know?"
Xiang Xiang: "Baby said that if he watches this tonight, he will forgive me halfway for always competing with him for your things." After saying that, his face turned pale: Xiao Chi didn't know those things, shouldn't he tell him that he could hear the baby talking!
Secretary Wen covered her face with an indescribable look on her face.
Chi Liu only regarded Xiangxiang's words as cute childish talk. He touched Xiangxiang's little head and smiled: "Then let's continue watching."
The entertaining and educational cartoon continued to play, and the father bear kept urging the baby bear to get first place in the exam. The baby bear was so sad that he ran away from home to find his little duck friend.
At this time, Xiang Xiang tilted his head and looked at Chi Liu: "Do you also hope that your baby will always get first place in the exam?"
The kids who were happily listening to the cartoon: “!!!QAQ”
If his mother wishes, he will work very hard to get the first place!
Chi Liu was startled, he curved his eyes and gently stroked his abdomen: "He (she) doesn't need to get first place in the exam. No matter what he (she) looks like, I will love him (her)."
Xiang Xiang looked at Chi Liu with his blue eyes sparkling - how could there be someone as gentle as Xiao Chi in the world...
The baby is so happy.
Secretary Wen watched this scene from the side with narrowed eyes.
…
It was soon time to go to bed. Before falling asleep, Chi Liu deliberately looked at the finger bones placed in the glass jar, then he twitched his mouth and went back to the bedroom.
The bedroom door made a slight sound, and the eyeball in the cat's eye was no longer restrained, and was filled with scarlet blood. The finger bones and ribs placed in the living room trembled slightly, resonating strangely with the eyeball...
Chi Liu fell asleep quickly. In the middle of the night, he rubbed his eyes and got up to drink water. When he reached for the bedside to grab the cup, he was startled and all of a sudden, most of his sleepiness disappeared.
He turned on the small light, looked at the finger bone lying proudly in his palm, and twitched his lips: Ha, that man left this troublesome broken bone behind after he left behind, and you can't live with him anymore, right?
He clearly remembered that it was placed in a glass jar!
Could it be that this was some kind of toy with a switch inside? Did Chu Qi remotely turn on the switch to control them?
This is too bad taste!
Haha, wouldn’t it be even more terrifying if that piece of rib appeared here!
At this time, the ribs under the bed: "..."
Chi Liu, who had guessed the truth to some extent, got out of bed, picked up the finger bone and prepared to throw it into the living room.
The moment he stepped into the living room, he was startled and his eyes suddenly widened.
In the living room under the moonlight, the secretary who had just dealt with a clone NPC that climbed in from the balcony stood there holding a knife that glowed with lake green light.
His mind was spinning so fast that it was about to smoke, and his mouth opened as big as an egg: "Aba Aba..."
He can explain it!!!
