Chapter 54
Chu Qi’s mind was buzzing, and the screen inside was filled with the message “It’s over, my beloved is going to abandon me!”. He stood there frozen with his eyes wide open, and his neck was bent in a strange posture.
Because of the master's condition, the dark blue tentacles that emerged from the spine finally ended the tug-of-war and were completely controlled by the child. They rushed out of the floor-to-ceiling window madly, and climbed towards the sky like the pea saplings in the fairy tale.
Chi Liu stood there with his arms folded, quietly looking at Chu Qi and the terrifying tentacle, with a sly smile on the corner of his lips.
Chu Qi felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. His voice was panicked and dry: "Dear, dear! I——"
Chi Liu raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong with you?"
Chu Qi opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He felt frightened and aggrieved like a big dog that was about to be abandoned.
Chi Liu finally laughed out loud. He walked forward, propped up the man's crooked handsome head, pressed a kiss on his thin lips, and then said, "First of all, you have seen those videotapes, and you should know that I have seen your real body in the core of the Abyss copy. Secondly, everyone in the base knows that only Lord Evil God lives in that palace." No one would dare to ask Lord Evil God to be a pet - except Lord Evil God himself.
"Finally," Chi Liu pointed to the red dot on the ceiling, "Generally, families with children will install home surveillance. I installed it before he was born."
He put his arm around the man's shoulders, and stroked his exposed spine with his soft palm, stroking the dark blue tentacle that was still creaking and surging outward as if it had life. The cold fragrance filled the entire space crazily. Chi Liu whispered ambiguously between the man's lips: "Guess how many cameras I installed in our house? Guess again, how many times did I look at you and the children through the camera yesterday..."
Chu Qi's pupils shrank.
Chi Liu pinched the other's cheek and curved his eyes: "I love everything about you."
With a "crack".
Chu Qi's lowered hands suddenly exploded, instantly transforming into swirling dark blue tentacles that surged wildly around Chi Liu. The ribs on his chest pierced through the flesh and grew out of his body, his heartbeat was so loud that it made his scalp numb, and countless organs were shaking, trying to break through his body and get out!
Chu Qi was like a real scary monster at this moment, his voice was so hoarse that it was frightening: "Dear..."
Chi Liu kissed the man's lips again: "Be good, go and prepare the ingredients. I'll go see Tuantuan. We'll eat right away."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the bedroom. The moment he leaned over and gently picked up the baby, Chu Tuan Tuan babbled happily, immediately forgetting about his father's tentacles, and stretched out his little hands to act coquettishly towards his mother.
In the quiet living room, Chu Qi stared at the living room for a long while before a deep, infatuated and excited smile slowly emerged on his face. He pushed the tentacle that had stretched to infinity back little by little, then straightened his head, taught the disobedient organ a lesson, and walked to the kitchen willingly.
…
After dinner, the family of three sat on the spacious balcony to watch the moon together.
Even though there is floor heating at home, it is still a bit cold on the balcony. Chu Tuantuan put on a plush bear head hat, wrapped in a thick wool blanket, and curled up in Chi Liu's arms, looking at the huge red moon in the sky. He thought: Can't I really pick it and give it to Mommy?
Chi Liu was unaware of this. After reading Chu Tuan Tuan's heart, Chu Qi glared at the uneasy baby and sent his consciousness directly into the other's mind: "No!" If the moon falls to take a vacation, the world will be destroyed!
Chu Tuantuan actually gave up this idea very obediently, but arrogantly leaned into Chi Liu's arms and ignored Chu Qi: Humph, Dad is mean, so bad!
The community is very lively at this time, with people admiring the moon everywhere.
On the balcony next door, a family was also enjoying the moon. The old lady sat on the sofa, patting the little girl in her arms and asking kindly, "What do you want to eat tomorrow, Nannan? Grandma will make it for you."
The little girl said in a baby voice: "I want to eat fish!"
The girl's father was holding a telephoto camera and wanted to take a picture of the moon. He shouted in fear and excitement: "Mom, wife, and daughter, come and see, I think I took a picture of the Loch Ness Monster! - Oops, I was so scared just now that the picture is blurry!"
Chi Liu immediately thought of the terrifying tentacle that had just risen into the sky. He twitched his lips, lowered his head and tapped Chu Tuan Tuan's nose, gently educating him: "Don't tease Dad like you did just now. Look, you scared the neighbors. Don't cause trouble for others, understand?"
Chu Qi didn't pay attention to this scene. He tilted his head and looked thoughtfully at the next room, silently chewing on the unfamiliar word "wife", with a strange and excited smile on his face.
Chu Tuan Tuan: "Okay, Mommy!" He stretched out his chubby white little hand and expressed his determination in Chi Liu's mind: "Mommy Tuan Tuan will only do good things in the future!"
Chi Liu smiled indulgently and said, "Okay."
Chu Tuan Tuan's big black grape eyes were bright, and he decided to let his mother see what he had done right away! ——Just now the little girl next door said she wanted to eat fish~
The little hand clenched, and a violent sea tornado suddenly appeared in the middle of a quiet and deserted high seas! Countless fish and shrimps were swept into the clouds above by the tornado.
In late winter and autumn, the weather in Hai City is changing quietly.
Dark clouds slowly appeared in the clear full-moon sky. Chi Liu blinked in surprise. Exclamations echoed in the community:
"Oh my god, the weather forecast said it would be sunny for the next two days, why is it suddenly raining?"
“It doesn’t matter if it rains, I’ve already taken a picture of the supermoon!”
"Ah, it's raining! - No, it's raining fish?!"
…
With the sound of "crackling", countless lively seafood fell to the ground, and the flash lights lit up more frequently than before - after all, this kind of fish rain is more rare than a super moon!
A live golden snapper fell onto the balcony next door, and the little girl clapped her hands excitedly: "Grandma, look at the fish! I want to eat fish!"
The neighborhood was more lively than before. Chi Liu stared in amazement at the crabs crawling around on his balcony. He twitched his lips and looked at the man next to him with a questioning look.
Chu Qi, like a real human dad, showed a helpless expression: "It's him, wife."
Chu Tuan Tuan looked at Chi Liu, with sweet dimples on his face. He waved his hands happily: "Tuan Tuan is doing good things!"
Chi Liu hadn't reacted to what Chu Qi had called him. Looking at the little guy in his arms, he felt soft in his heart and said, "Just consider it as a good deed you did this time. But don't do this again in the future, okay?"
After a pause, he explained gently: "Baby, this world has its own strict and complex operating rules. You can't interfere with it casually, understand?" For example, the weather should not be changed artificially.
Chu Tuan Tuan didn't quite understand what he heard, but his mother's voice was so gentle, so he gently touched Chi Liu's cheek with his little hand and said seriously: "I know, Mommy."
Chi Liu curved his eyes and said, "Be good." After saying that, he realized belatedly what Chu Qi had called him. His ears slowly turned red, and he glared at Chu Qi fiercely.
Chu Qi still smiled affectionately: "Wife - we will have a wedding later anyway, right?"
Chu Tuan Tuan's innocent voice rang in both of their minds at the same time: "Mommy, Daddy, what is a wife?"
Chi Liu coughed lightly, and an alluring blush slowly spread across his face. He stepped on the man's foot: "Don't scream in front of the child!" He didn't understand why he had calluses on his ears from hearing the word "dear" but felt so ashamed to be called wife!
Chi Liu's eyebrows jumped, and he stood up holding the child. He changed the subject and said, "Pack up the seafood here so we can eat it later." He walked into the house and said, "By the way, I have a dinner appointment with someone tomorrow night, so I won't be home for dinner."
Chu Qi's smile froze on the corner of his mouth: dinner date! Who did my wife have dinner date with! Where did she have dinner date! Why did she have dinner date!
…
Even though Chu Qi completely lost sleep because of this incident, and unscrupulously stretched out eight tentacles to tightly wrap around the sleeping Chi Liu at night, the next day, Chi Liu still went out to work in a cool manner.
Chu Qi held Chu Tuantuan, who was pretending to be well-behaved, and stared at the young man's back like a real househusband. After a while, he stretched out his empty hand and touched his left eye: with the name in the eyeball, he could easily know where his wife was at any time!
He smiled and looked at the child in his arms: "Little guy, you don't want to see your mother late at night, right?"
Chu Tuan Tuan held the pacifier in his mouth and waved his hands a little disappointedly: "Wow, I miss mommy."
Chu Qi smiled and lied to the child: "Okay, remember baby, if we are discovered, it's because you want to see your mother, understand?"
…
Chi Liu was completely unaware of the "conspiracy" between the father and son.
He worked all day, occasionally smiling as he listened to his employees excitedly talking about topics like the supermoon or the fish rain.
Soon it was evening and he went to the restaurant as agreed.
After they were seated, the waiter quickly served the steamed fish they ordered and said excitedly, "This is the fish that was just dropped from the sky last night! It's absolutely fresh! Please enjoy!"
Chi Liu smiled and thanked him, then looked at the old man opposite who looked much older than he remembered, and said gently and respectfully: "Teacher, the fish here is always delicious, please try it."
Professor Qin, who was always serious and old-fashioned, hastily turned his face away from his most promising student. He looked guilty. He seemed to be under a lot of pressure recently. His hair was gray and messy, his eyes were dark, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Okay, okay."
Chi Liu was startled, pushed a cup of hot tea over, and asked worriedly, "Teacher, are you okay?" After a pause, he said, "Just tell me if you have anything to say."
Professor Qin then looked at him, a somewhat awkward and forced smile appeared on his pale and serious face, and he clenched his wrinkled hands on the table. He first said, "What can an old man like me do? It's just that my students are bothering me to find a job again. It's not easy to find a job now."
Chi Liu was startled, his pupils shrank, and he opened his mouth to say something, but Professor Qin interrupted him: "Xiao Chi, the base has released some information about the bracelets from the last batch of high-level players. I want to show it to you and hear your thoughts."
Chi Liu stared at the old man with concern: "Okay. I'll help you."
Professor Qin's face was so pale that he almost fainted. He opened the briefcase beside him, which contained two documents. A struggle flashed across his eyes. He sighed, picked out one of the documents and handed it to Chi Liu.
Chi Liu was about to open it, but Professor Qin had already stood up, with a look of relief on his face. He said, "You can read it when you get home. The teacher is leaving first." After saying that, he hunched over and walked out.
Chi Liu immediately stood up and supported the other person.
Professor Qin looked at him, his eyes a little red. He finally smiled sincerely and said, "Xiao Chi, I'm really happy that you're alive. It doesn't matter if you can't do research anymore, as long as you're alive. I heard that you're married, so live a good life in the future." After that, he firmly brushed off the young man's hand and walked out.
Chi Liu looked at it worriedly, then immediately turned to the information in his hand - it was all blank paper.
He walked swiftly to the next table, pulled down the upright newspaper held by the customer there, and looked at Chu Qi, who was shocked after being exposed: "I want another document in the teacher's bag."
Someone must have coerced his teacher - because, with his fair and selfless character who disdained backdoor dealings, it was impossible for him to introduce a job to his students.
That person may have forced the teacher to hand over a piece of information to him - and that information would most likely have a negative impact on him.
The teacher chose to protect the student from the man's coercion and only gave him a stack of white paper.
Chi Liu tightened his grip on Chu Qi's arm and frowned: "Hurry." He is not made of paper and does not need the protection of an old man. Of course, he should protect the old man.
Chu Qi stared at the young man in a daze for a long time without moving - as early as when the old man mentioned the information, he already knew what it was - although, he had not yet figured out who was coercing the old man.
Even if the old man gave Chi Liuzhen's information, he would never let Chi Liu see it.
He would never let his little Chi know that.
The child in the stroller nearby saw his mother so serious and nervous for the first time. After a while, he decided to fulfill his mother's wish.
The little hands clenched, and the documents in the briefcase of the old man who had long since passed away appeared on the desk.
Chi Liu was stunned, glared at Chu Qi, and immediately picked up the book to read.
Chu Qi was about to move when Chi Liu stepped on his foot. He looked at the young man with wide eyes, his hands trembling slightly, and even his breathing slowed down - if his little Chi knew those...
Chi Liu flipped through it quickly, and then the information in his hand fell to the ground with a "click". He suddenly opened his eyes wide.
The information in the player's bracelet is: If the player's home planet wants to restore the invasion route, it needs to link to the coordinates here - the coordinates used by the player are hundreds of millions of messy codes stored in the computer at their spaceport center.
Those had already been destroyed completely by Chu Qi and could not be restored.
The only remaining part is in Chi Liu's body - back then, a high-level brain-controlling player, under the command of the commander, left this code in his brain.
This is why his brain has been unable to recover.
Chi Liu stared at his palm in a daze: If he wanted this code to disappear completely, the only way was for him to die...
He finally understood why the person behind the scenes wanted to coerce his teacher to give him this information. That person put him in a complete dilemma: either die, or become a sinner in this world and attract new invasions...
There was a buzzing in Chi Liu's ears, his hands clenched tightly, and his eyes became colder and colder.
With a "bang".
Under the astonished eyes of the restaurant waiter, Chu Qi stood up and hugged the young man tightly.
"Baby," Chu Qi's big hand covered the back of the young man's neck, his voice incredibly hoarse: "Listen to me, I will handle everything, don't worry, okay?"
Chu Tuan Tuan in the crib had a worried look on his face. He babbled and tried to communicate with Chi Liu with his consciousness, his voice filled with tears: "Mommy..."
Chi Liu instantly returned to the human world. He took a deep breath, smiled, and said in a soft and incredibly calm voice: "I'm fine. Let go first, we have to take care of Tuan Tuan first." They were really derelict adults who let a little baby worry about them.
Chu Qi pursed her lips and slowly let go of the other person.
Chi Liu took a few steps and immediately held the child in his arms. He touched the tip of his nose to the little guy's nose and gently comforted him, "It's okay, baby. Sorry for making you worry."
Tuantuan buried her face in Chi Liu's arms, her small fingers tightly grasping the young man's collar. Chi Liu promised gently and firmly: "Don't worry, Mom will always be with you."
Chu Tuan Tuan made a soft "hmm" sound, and then he felt relieved. He leaned into Chi Liu's arms and relied on him even more affectionately.
After Chi Liu calmed the child down, he quickly sent a message to Secretary Wen and Team Leader Zheng, briefly explaining the situation and asking them to find out what had happened to the teacher and provide protection and support.
Finally, he looked at Chu Qi, who was nervous and afraid that he would commit suicide, and smiled: "Let's go home first." After a pause, he added gently: "Dear."
Chu Qi opened his eyes wide, and his heart, which was about to jump out of his chest, was inexplicably calmed down. He stepped forward, put his arms around the young man's shoulders, kissed him on the forehead, and said softly, "Okay."
…
Soon they returned home. Chi Liu first coaxed Chu Tuantuan to sleep, and then went about his business as usual as if nothing had happened.
In the kitchen, he cut the orange neatly, then turned and looked at Chu Qi speechlessly.
The handsome man stood there stiffly like a big dog, staring at the knife in Chi Liu's hand.
With a light "bang", the kitchen knife was thrown onto the table by Chi Liu. The young man crossed his arms and looked at Chu Qi, and asked with a smile: "How afraid are you that I will commit suicide?"
Chu Qi leaned over and hugged him tightly, murmuring: "Wife, I..."
Chi Liu buried his face in the man's broad chest, his nose filled with a reassuring fragrance. A helpless smile appeared at the corner of his lips: "I won't commit suicide." It's stupid to give up your life just by seeing the enemy's information.
After a pause, he hugged Chu Qi's waist again and said gently but firmly: "But I want you to open my brain, find that code, and destroy it." If you can't find it or destroy it - then we'll talk about it later.
In short, try all possible methods first - the information is most likely not false, otherwise Chu Qi would not have prevented the base from contacting him and tried so hard to stop him from knowing the news.
Chu Qi suddenly opened his eyes wide when he heard this.
Chi Liu curved her eyes in the man's arms, her amber pupils full of cunning: "I know you can do it. Honey," he said seriously: "I believe you."
There was silence in the kitchen for a moment.
After a while, Chu Qi said in a hoarse voice: "...Okay."
…
The kitchen was filled with the scent of oranges and some strange cold fragrance.
The tall and thin young man fell limply into the arms of a monster.
Countless dark blue tentacles were surging wildly in this space. Chu Qi, who was in half-human form, hugged the young man tightly, his face full of sad possessiveness.
"Baby," he leaned over and kissed the young man's lips: "I'll be gentle..."
The softest tentacle carefully reached up to the young man's forehead, and then slowly penetrated inside.
A trace of blood flowed down, Chu Qi stretched out a hand and gently wiped it clean, his face full of heartache.
The tentacles carefully searched the young man's brain. Chu Qi hugged the young man tighter and tighter, with more and more distress on his handsome face.
After learning the news, he immediately and completely isolated Chi Liu from this information - he even refused the base's request to examine Chi Liu's body to finally confirm the accuracy of the news.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, he didn't want Chi Liu to know any of this news.
Chi Liu loved this world, so he didn't dare let him know - if he didn't have a home here, he actually didn't care at all whether the world was destroyed or not.
The evil god is such a cruel existence - he will fight against those rats not to protect the world, but because he simply hates them.
It didn't matter if a new invasion occurred, he had the ability to keep the rats in "that world" and never let this home be threatened. As for the extra sacrifices that humans had to make to resist the new invasion, what did it have to do with him?
But Chi Liu loves this world and those people.
A helpless smile appeared on Chu Qi's handsome face.
The tentacles searched through Chi Liu's memories and finally found the so-called hint from four years ago. It slowly exerted its strength...
The unconscious Chi Liu frowned.
"It will be fine soon, honey." Chu Qi gently stroked the young man's soft black hair as if comforting a child: "No matter what happens, I will always be here. Our family of three will be together forever. Honey, I am looking forward to having a wedding with you..."
…
After a while, the tentacle was pulled out from the young man's brain.
The scar on the young man's forehead completely disappeared.
Chu Qi gently picked up the sleeping young man and walked towards the bedroom - God knows whether it would be useful to eliminate the hint.
But he just wants his wife to feel that it is useful and completely at ease.
As for those filthy and despicable rats - if he wasn't afraid that using the power of time and space in large quantities would affect the vacation world itself, he wouldn't mind folding space directly to go to the so-called home planet of the rats and completely destroy it...
They'd better pray that his wife, children and the world will be safe forever, otherwise -
There was a cold scarlet light flickering at the edges of Chu Qi's dark pupils. He stepped into the bedroom with a smile, carefully put the young man on the bed, changed his pajamas and covered him with a quilt.
Then he also got under the quilt, lay down beside the young man, pulled the man into his arms and held him tightly - just like a dragon holding his treasure.
Chu Qi closed his eyes and sniffed the young man's neck greedily and reluctantly: He had to end his maternity leave early and go to work tomorrow. He wanted to find the guy who dared to attack Chi Liu and crush him...
At this moment, a terrifying deep blue tentacle was entwined in the crib beside it like a guardian knight. The child in the crib was comforted by his father and was sleeping soundly at this moment.
The gentle moonlight illuminates the close-knit family of three, as if the good old days were preserved forever in amber.
