Fireworks +12
The day he happened to meet Xu Jing in the antique shop, he saw the antique clock in the shop.
For some reason, he felt that the clock had an inexplicable attraction to him.
So I learned the story behind the antique clock from Boss Lin.
That day, Boss Lin said, "If you have a persistent mindset, you might just end up with something unexpected, just like that clockmaker."
Obsession...
That day, Qi Yu was thinking that his obsession might be Xu Liang.
He once thought that he could at least be with her during college, and later he thought that he would be with her during his master's degree.
Later on, he didn't know how they could be together.
Xu Jing hates him, at least in his career.
But it was impossible for her to take the initiative to find out what his life was like.
It seems like no road leads to success.
But Qi Yu didn't expect that God really gave him a chance.
That stormy night, he was beaten and passed out, knowing nothing.
But after waking up, he found himself in Xu Liang's bed, and even turned into 'Xu Liang'.
At first, he didn't expect such an incredible thing to happen. After confirming that it was really Xu Liang's consciousness in his body, he was secretly delighted and accepted it all in an instant.
At that time, the first thing he thought of was living together with Xu Liang.
It happened that under the pretext of work, he allowed her to live with him, allowing her to truly understand what kind of person he was and fall in love with him.
As for the pocket watches, he later learned from Boss Lin that their pocket watches had secrets just like the antique clocks.
But he was also afraid that Xu Liang would want to change back immediately after knowing it, after all, she only brought a small suitcase to his house.
So I tried to keep it a secret from her.
He was actually a little surprised when he got it back accidentally. He actually couldn't believe that he could get it back with a kiss even though he had a pocket watch on a rainy night.
But perhaps because his obsession had not faded, God favored him again.
They swapped again.
As for why he didn't confess to Xu Jing after they confirmed their relationship, he was worried that Xu Jing would think too much.
They established their relationship half because of his coercion and calculation that night.
He kissed her recklessly and used the premeditated condition to make her agree.
He wasn't sure how she would feel after she knew, wasn't sure if she would get angry and leave, wasn't sure if she would eliminate him during the probation period.
However, the truth will eventually come out.
She still knew.
"The last time we switched back was an accident. I didn't expect it, and I certainly didn't expect us to switch again the next day."
The heat on the back of his hand became stronger and stronger. Xu Liang glanced over and met those burning gazes.
The wall of his heart was instantly burned and melted by the fire, completely losing its ability to defend himself.
That person even lit a trace of grievance, and the blazing flame suddenly stopped swaying, and a tender white bud emerged from it. Pushed by the remaining heat, it grew rapidly and unfolded its wet and pure petals.
There is a touch of freshness and softness in the heat, and there seems to be a fragrance.
Although the force was small, it extended to the heart tip which had no defense at all, stopped there, and exploded with the huge impact force contained within.
“…”
Xu Liang couldn't even tell whether Qi Yu did it on purpose or from his true nature.
I don't know whether to say that he is too cunning or that I don't know him well enough.
Xu Liang remained silent. The man gently shook her hand again and continued his attack: "Xiao Liang, I really didn't mean to hide this from you. Please believe me."
“…”
Xu Liang tried desperately to suppress the upward curve of his lips, but his expression completely collapsed the moment he approached.
"You're so annoying! My palms are burning! Get away from me!"
Although the words were full of disgust, the corners of his mouth were almost raised to the sky.
Even though his body was struggling, he didn't use much strength.
Finally, Qi Yu hugged her tightly.
"If you smile, you're not angry anymore?" Qi Yu held her in his arms with both hands, his ten fingers weaving into hers, holding Xu Liang's hand in his palm.
Xu Ying said hypocritically, "Who said that? I'm still angry."
There was clearly no anger in his tone.
Qi Yu then breathed a sigh of relief, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said, "Was that loving dinner enough to calm you down?"
Xu Liang never thought that Qi Yu would talk like this one day. She was very uncomfortable with it. She blushed and nudged his waist and abdomen: "Where did you learn all this from? It's so corny!"
Qi Yu didn't take it seriously, and unaware of it, his fingers clasped together even tighter.
"What's so corny about it? Isn't this how most couples get along?"
Xu Jing sensed something was wrong and turned his head again: "Is it always like this? You know a lot."
Their eyes met again, the warmth and softness had faded, leaving only a thick aftertaste.
Qi Yu chuckled: "If I don't make some preparations when dating Mr. Xu, how can I guarantee that I will pass the probation period?"
Each word seemed to be wrapped in thick sugar coating, stimulating Xu Liang's eardrums bit by bit. As the syllables rushed in, the sugar coating gradually melted.
The sweetness spread throughout his body, dopamine continued to be secreted, and Xu Liang felt like he was thrown into the clouds, his body was light and his consciousness was refreshed.
The curve of the corners of his mouth was completely out of control, he just wanted to express the most real reaction of this body at this moment.
"I'm starving. Go make your loving dinner!" Xu Liang pushed the person back twice.
“No problem, I guarantee it will be completed on time!”
…
The aroma of dumplings wafted from the kitchen. Xu Liang was half lying on the sofa, the lingering pleasure still dominating his body.
She picked up two more watches and examined them repeatedly from beginning to end, inside and out. Her eyes were half-closed, and the sweet bubbles coming out of her eyes permeated every inch of her body, making even the air become sticky.
Forget it, just forgive him, it’s not a big deal.
He knew, but not completely.
Soul swapping is an opportunity for Qi Yu, but isn't it also an opportunity for her?
At least the soul swap allowed her to truly understand his technological retirement system, and at least her prejudice against it was much less.
At least she got new inspiration, at least she had Qi Yu.
Besides, their soul exchange is related to the pocket watch given by their grandparents. Maybe... it is also a "gift" from their grandparents?
Xu Liang was still happily soaking in the invisible honey pot, his thoughts drifting away.
The urgent ringing of the doorbell disturbed her mood at an inopportune moment.
Xu Liang and everyone in the kitchen were stunned.
Xu Liang quickly put down his pocket watch, climbed up from the sofa, and said to the person in the kitchen, "I'll go open the door."
Thinking that it was his parents making another surprise visit, Xu Liang put on a sweet smile.
However, after opening the door, Xu Liang found out that it was a courier.
The two people looking at each other were slightly confused. The courier paused for two seconds before asking, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Qi? Please sign for your delivery."
Xu Liang also came back to his senses and accepted the express delivery.
She glanced at the information sheet and walked in with the package in her arms: "What did you buy?"
Qi Yu didn't even turn around and said directly: "Help me open it."
Xu Liang didn't think much about it, responded, and took the scissors.
The packaging is very simple, with a layer of foam padding under the cardboard box and a beautifully packaged gift box inside.
Like a gift.
But there was no information on the outside of the light purple gift box, it was very simple.
Xu Liang didn't take it down any further.
Qi Yu had already come out with two bowls of dumplings.
Xu Kyung asked, "What is this?"
"Open it and take a look."
A gift for her?
Xu Liang guessed silently, his hand had already opened the lid of the gift box.
There was a bracelet lying inside.
Xu Liang didn't know much about crystals, he could only tell it was amethyst, and Qi Yu was already explaining it beside him.
"This bracelet is called Sky Mirror. Each crystal is selected to be the most transparent and pure. The color is also good, and the fire is also beautiful. I think it suits you very well, so I bought it."
"I confessed my feelings in such a hurry that I didn't get the bracelet yet and didn't have time to give it to you. Now I think it's been a while since I last saw it. Try it on and see if you like it."
Xu Liang was a little surprised. He didn't expect Qi Yu to have such a trick up his sleeve.
She pursed her lips and carefully picked up the crystal. Only then did she discover that between the two crystal beads, which were as transparent as glass, there was a small plaque. It was the same light purple as the crystal, with a small word reflected in the middle -
"暻".
She looked up in surprise: "Did you custom-make this?"
Qi Yu's gaze remained fixed on hers for a few seconds, as if the stickiness still lingering around Xu Liang pushed the corners of his lips, causing them to curve slightly. He hummed, "Unique, the only one of its kind, just like you."
The thick honey syrup was almost impossible to stir and solidified.
Xu Liang suppressed his laughter, pulled his hand, picked up the crystal and gestured with it twice, then said with a "tsk" sound, "It's a pity I can't wear it now."
"But Qi Yu," Xu Liang said, looking at the character "隻" with satisfaction, "Luckily, you have a good taste in choosing accessories."
Fortunately, I didn't give her another gift like the fried stuffed doll.
Qi Yu didn't say anything, but smiled meaningfully.
Then he said, "Then when we get it back, I'll put it on you myself. Let's eat?"
Xu Kyung put the crystal back into the gift box and the two sat down to eat.
The sweet aftertaste hadn't faded yet, but it was almost disturbed by external sounds——
The mobile page continued to push negative news about Qi Yu at inappropriate times.
Although Yian issued a notice in the past few days, announcing Qi Yu's suspension for investigation and clarifying the false statements between Qi Yu and Mr. Li, the wave is still fierce.
Some say Qi Yu must be permanently suspended, while others say "technological pensions" is just a slogan Qi Yu uses to make money. The constant verbal abuse, insults, and personal attacks continue.
In order to avoid being reported or punished, almost all comments use homophones, giving words that are not offensive in nature a sharp tone, and carrying out targeted attacks in the online world connected by code.
Looking back, some people have even brought up Heo Kyoung.
I don't know where it started, but some people have taken advantage of the fact that Xu Liang and Qi Yu are sworn enemies and speculated that "Xu Liang had hinted a long time ago that technology-based retirement would not work", in order to prove that technology-based retirement exists only to make money.
"What on earth do these people want to do?! They spread this rumor to make it clear that you really can't go back to Yian!" Xu Liang already regretted not being able to resist and had to click in to take a look.
She turned off her phone angrily and put it on the table.
However, Qi Yu remained calm, his palms clasping her back to soothe her. He seemed to have expected this: "This person probably really doesn't want me to return to Yian."
"What do you mean?" Xu Liang turned his head away instantly, confusion growing in his mind.
This person?
It already has an accurate direction.
"Finish eating first. Didn't we talk about this today? I have some news to discuss with you when I get back."
Xu Liang quickly lowered his head, ignoring his still-unresolved emotions, and kept stuffing dumplings into his mouth.
…
The lingering scent of shower gel drifted out of the bathroom, creating a slight mist under the light.
Qi Yu was also on the big pink piggy bed. Xu Liang leaned against him, having finished listening to an audio clip Qi Yu had saved on his phone.
But he frowned and said nothing.
Qi Yu explained: "This was sent to me by You Yi. He said it might be useful."
The words seemed to fall into a bottomless pit, and were replaced by a long silence.
There was no trace of mist under the light, and the fragrance of the shower gel was also diluted.
Xu Jing hummed: "What do you want to do?"
She turned her head and quietly bumped into his silence.
Somehow, she also became quiet.
The wrinkles between his brows gradually disappeared, and she heard him ask, "What do you think?"
Neither of them said a single word, but Xu Liang felt that they had already reached a consensus.
She could already understand what he meant from his eyes.
Two seconds later, they both spoke in unison: "Catch the turtle in the jar."
Qi Yu smiled.
Xu Liang twitched his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
When he lay down to sleep, Qi Yu came closer and said what he had kept in his heart for a long time: "Xiao Liang, these past few days in Tong Xin, your senior brother has been saying bad things about me."
Xu Liang was stunned for a moment, then slowly moved his gaze over and asked him what he said.
It’s because of the news on the Internet these days.
Zhou Qingyue had never been in favor of the two of them being together, and he had even said in front of Qi Yu that they wouldn't be together for long.
Given the chance, Zhou Qingyue naturally wouldn't give up trying to dissuade him.
Qi Yu was having lunch in the cafeteria, flipping through the comments when Zhou Qingyue saw him. He came over and sat down, not shying away from the topic. He said straight to the point, "Xiao Jing, you've seen the news reports. I've already said that you two are not suitable. I'm really doing this for your own good. Break up with him as soon as possible."
Qi Yu continued to eat with his head down, enduring it for the time being.
The man continued, unwilling to give up: "Xiao Jing, please listen to me this time, okay? If Master knew that you were with Qi Yu without knowing the truth, he would definitely not be happy."
"What's unclear between us? How is it inappropriate?" When Qi Yu heard him bring up Grandpa Xu, the fire in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
Qi Yu had long harbored a lot of resentment towards him because he had judged their relationship time and time again and had suppressed them time and time again.
Not to mention that he could see that Zhou Qingyue had some special feelings for Xu Liang.
Even if he doesn't say it, they are all men, and he can definitely figure out what his eyes mean.
Zhou Qingyue didn't expect Xu Liang to be angry. His lips moved slightly and he paused for a moment.
He continued, "Even if you ignore all that, look at Qi Yu's current situation. With this suspension and all the negative publicity, do you think he can still return to Yian? Will this industry still be the same for him as before? If he loses his job, how can you two still be a good match?"
"How do you know he can't go back? How can you be sure he won't be the same as before?"
This sounded like a defense, but also seemed to have a different flavor.
Zhou Qingyue's tone was somewhat firm: "Qi Yu got into Yian by luck. His parents are not in the industry. They have no background or connections. Yian's directors are not fools. With public opinion being so skewed, why would they take the risk of letting Qi Yu go back?"
"Qi Yu is not the only one with talent in elderly care in Huaibei."
Qi Yu didn't say a word and just walked away with the bowl of leftovers.
He hugged the person beside him, and said something with a hint of yin and yang: "Listen, how much do you want to disappoint me?"
Xu Liang's originally gloomy mood became much more relaxed because of his angry look.
She turned sideways and hugged him, closed her eyes, and said softly, "Don't take it to heart. I know what kind of person you are, and I believe you."
"Ayu."
This address completely blocked Qi Yu's next words.
It seems like nothing matters anymore.
There is no need to complain anymore.
Because she said, "I believe you, Ayu."
There was an extra strength on Xu Liang's waist, and they hugged each other.
The night is quiet and the moonlight is as pure as crystal.
…
The next morning, public opinion changed due to a sudden video.
