Chapter 168 Brother and sister game, Diaper won the MVP (asking for monthly votes)
The only chandelier in the living room was off, and it was pitch dark all around.
Then, Gu Qiye's voice sounded slowly in the darkness:
"I'm... Blue Arc."
Su Zimai was stunned.
The moment the words fell, a deep blue electric light suddenly rose up, and the faces of Su Zimai and Gu Qinye were illuminated by the dancing electric light at the same time.
She stood there in a daze, not raising her head for a long time, as if she was immersed in Gu Qinye's short four words.
His tone was calm and gentle, as if he was talking about a very ordinary little thing, but when Su Zimai heard these words, she felt like she was struck by lightning.
It was like at dawn, the first ray of sunlight from the sky illuminated the gray sea surface and pierced into the dead and dark deep sea.
Su Zimai was like a kite with a broken string, or a robot that had lost its signal, and did not respond for a long time.
After a long while, she slowly raised her eyes from under her forehead and looked at Gu Qinye.
He was lowering his head, staring at the five fingers of his right hand. The arcs of electricity dancing on his fingertips gathered into an electric ball.
There was no expression on Gu Qinye's face, and deep blue arcs were reflected in his clear eyes.
Su Zimai looked at him, lowered his eyes, then raised them again, and finally just stared at his eyes motionlessly, never moving his gaze away.
After a long, long time, she suddenly wrinkled her nose and tears slowly welled up in her eyes.
So that's how it is...
Did my brother come home so late in the past because he was out fighting criminals every day?
I actually had no idea about these things... Then why did he take care of us, cook for us, and help us with our homework every day, and yet go out to do so many dangerous things at night?
Is this guy made of iron?
Why didn't he complain even once... Why did he do so many things without complaining? If it were me, I would definitely complain about it every day to make myself look great, right?
But it is because he is so stupid that he is my brother.
I was too self-righteous. I had only been an exorcist for less than half a year, but I thought I was so great. I also thought that I had worked hard to investigate the truth about my mother for the family and had made so many sacrifices in secret. I was already a mature adult and could handle things on my own...
But my brother obviously did much more than I did, but he didn't say a word.
He worked so hard, he must have wanted to find out the truth about his mother.
Thinking of this, Su Zimai suddenly recalled that when she was in junior high school, she suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, so she got up from the bed in a daze, opened the door, and suddenly saw that the bathroom light was on.
She blinked and saw Gu Qiye's figure reflected on the glass door.
Gu Qiye was only sixteen years old at that time, and his body had just begun to develop. He was only about 1.7 meters tall. He was naked from the waist up, with his hands on the washbasin, his head lowered, looking at himself in the mirror, breathing heavily.
The mirror reflected his thin body, with bloody wounds all over his chest and shoulders.
Seeing those hideous wounds, Su Zimai was stunned for a long time. Then he pushed open the door with a "clang", walked out, and approached the bathroom step by step.
She stared at the shadow on the glass door without moving her eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice with a hint of fear and worry:
"Brother...what's wrong with you?"
After hearing Su Zimai's voice, Gu Qiye, who was resting with his eyes closed, was suddenly stunned, and a trace of panic appeared on his face. He opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Su Zimai who was standing outside the door, then quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the bathroom.
"What's wrong with your injuries?" she asked.
He said softly, "I couldn't sleep just now, so I wanted to go to the supermarket downstairs to buy something to drink, but I was accidentally hit by an electric bike on the way... I just fell down, and I will be fine soon."
"Don't lie to me..." Su Zimai paused, "I'm not as easy to fool as you think."
"Why would I lie to you?" Gu Qiye said, silencing him. "Okay, go to bed first, okay? Don't wake Wenyu up."
"Then promise me..." Su Zimai said hoarsely, "Don't work so late in the future."
At this moment, she suddenly wished... really wished that she could have a complete family.
Because if mom were still alive, she would definitely give big brother a good lesson right now, right?
If mom were still alive, my brother wouldn’t dare to come home so late.
If Dad hadn't given up on himself, he would have taken good care of my brother.
But the house was empty, with only her insignificant sister left. All she could do was say some dry words... In fact, she knew that even if she said it, Gu Qiye would probably not listen.
Because she is just a useless sister, she can't change anything and can only be protected forever...
Thinking of this, Su Zimai's eyes suddenly turned red a few years ago.
She wrinkled her nose and tried hard not to cry, but tears kept flowing down her eyes. She looked angry, but not at Gu Qiye, but at herself for being so useless.
Gu Qiye was stunned for a moment. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and touched her head: "I promise you..."
He lowered his eyes, raised the corners of his lips and whispered, "Tomorrow is your birthday, go to bed early."
"Well, brother, you should go to bed early too."
Su Zimai was absent-minded the whole day after that and couldn't concentrate in class. After school, she picked up her schoolbag and went home without looking back.
When she got home, the lights in the living room were off and it was pitch black all around. Only the mottled afterglow was swaying on the floor where the curtains were, but that small piece of light could not illuminate the surroundings.
So she fumbled for the circuit board in the dark. After a while, she raised her hand and was about to turn on the light. Suddenly, there was a "click" and a flickering candlelight lit up in the living room.
Gu Qiye held the birthday cake and poked his head out from behind the sofa, staring at her with clear eyes and a smile on his face;
Gu Wenyu was hiding next to the refrigerator. He put one hand in his pants and moved sideways like a crab. He came over reluctantly, coughed twice, and then put a freshly woven paper wreath on her head.
"Happy birthday sister, you are another year older."
"Happy birthday wheat."
The two celebrated in unison.
Su Zimai stayed still for a while, then put down his schoolbag and slowly looked up, staring at the flickering candlelight in the darkness and the delicate and gentle smile on Gu Qinye's face.
She raised the corners of her mouth, and her gloomy mood disappeared.
The candles burning on the birthday cake at that time, just like the electric light swaying in the darkness at this moment, warmly illuminated their faces.
At this moment, Su Zimai's eyes were illuminated by the jumping arcs of electricity, but her gaze was empty and lifeless.
After being silent for a long while, tears squeezed out from the corners of her eyes, flowed across her fair cheeks, and fell on the living room floor with a plop.
It was so quiet in the darkness that even the sound of tears falling on the floor could be heard clearly.
Gu Qiye was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect her reaction to be so big: "Why are you crying?"
"Brother...you are so stupid," she said softly, burying her head in Gu Qinye's chest, "Why are you so stupid? You are so stupid, so stupid, so stupid..."
She kept repeating the same sentence, and with every word she squeezed out of her throat, her crying became heavier and heavier.
Tears flowed uncontrollably down Qingli's cheeks, wetting Gu Qinye's T-shirt.
Gu Qinye laughed helplessly, and after a moment he raised his hand and touched the top of her head.
"Okay... don't make me sound like Xianglin Sao." He said softly, "I'm not stupid. Aren't we the same... Aren't these our own choices? Since we've made the choice, we have to pay the price."
"If I hadn't become an exorcist, you were going to keep it a secret from me forever, right?"
"No, I will tell you after I join Rainbow Wing and find out everything about Mom... Of course, this has to be brought forward now."
"Are you trying to persuade me not to be an exorcist?"
"No, I'm not that extreme. I know Xiaomai is working hard and is serious about it. Am I not negating your efforts by doing this?"
After a pause, Gu Qiye lowered his voice and said, "I just want to tell you that no matter what time it is, your brother is always here... As long as you need me, I will come to help you."
"After all, it's normal for an electric rat to run fast..." Su Zimai was silent for a long time and muttered softly.
Gu Qiye smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "Even my sister is calling me by a derogatory name. I am such a failure as a stranger..."
At the same time, in the corridor on the second floor.
Ji Minghuan, who was standing with his back against the wall as punishment, smacked his lips. At this moment, he felt more or less confused.
He held his forehead and sighed softly, muttering in confusion:
"Damn it... Why did you cry so much when you heard your brother was Blue Arc? Your tears were free, and when you heard your brother was Black Pupa, you started cursing and punching him? We are all from the same family, how can we treat each other differently? What happened to the love and affection we promised each other?"
Just now, through the senses of the restraints, he took in the scene downstairs. The scene before him... was so moving that it seemed as if the Refrigerator Demon and the Blue Electric Mouse Demon, who had been separated for many years, had finally recognized each other as brother and sister. The Refrigerator hugged the Mouse and burst into tears.
And Ji Minghuan…what he hated most was this kind of warm atmosphere. So he decided to be a good person, add some spice to the situation, and at this critical juncture, give her the birthday gift he prepared for his sister in advance, which would definitely bring her an unforgettable warm night.
Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan hummed twice, silently raised his right hand, and peeled off a piece of restraint from his sleeve.
The restraints splashed onto the floor like black liquid, then gradually piled up together, forming a crooked human figure.
The restraint belt incarnation slowly stood up, walked into Ji Minghuan's room, and took out a courier package from under the bed. The package was exquisitely packaged and the recipient was labeled Su Zimai.
Then he jumped up, lightly crawled out of the French window, tied the street lamp with a restraint belt, flew around, and landed accurately on the windowsill of the living room on the first floor.
Hearing the noise, Su Zimai and Gu Qinye turned their heads at the same time, and in the moonlight they could clearly see the figure of the uninvited guest.
"Black pupa." "Big fluttering moth!"
The two of them chanted the dark figure's name in unison.
Black Pupa stretched out a restraint and waved to the brother and sister. "Oh, hello, hello... I'm sorry to interrupt your tearful brother-sister recognition session. Actually, I'm not someone who doesn't know the occasion. Obviously, I didn't mean to interrupt you."
He paused and raised a finger: "It's just that I have to disturb you for work."
"Is it necessary for work?" Su Zimai wiped his tears and frowned suspiciously.
Gu Qinye also raised his eyebrows slightly, wondering what this weird guy was up to.
"Yes, it's required for work." As he spoke, Hei Pu looked down at the courier package in his hand, "Uh...Excuse me, is this Ms. Ke Zinan? To be honest, being a gray character can no longer support myself, so I recently found a part-time job and am currently working as a courier."
"Ke Zinan, did Xiaomai use a pseudonym during the operation?" Gu Qinye reacted.
"What do you want from us?" Su Zimai asked.
"Of course it's a work matter. Didn't I explain that?" As he said that, Hei Pupa opened the mail with a restraint belt and handed it to Su Zimai.
Then he said seriously, "Ms. Ke Zinan, this is the item you ordered at 0:10 am on July 21. I'm sorry that it took so long to get it to you, but I think you'll need it someday..."
Su Zimai frowned, wondering what tricks this guy was playing, and looked up at the express package. At this moment, the package was suddenly opened by the restraints.
The only thing inside was...
One piece of BabyBus brand baby diaper.
Staring at the diaper that Hei Pupa handed to them with a restraint belt, Su Zimai and Gu Qinye were both stunned.
The two were stunned and didn't react for a long time.
After a moment of silence, Gu Qiye finally raised his eyes from his diaper. He turned his head to look at Su Zimai and asked in confusion:
"Uh...diapers?"
But Su Zimai didn't seem to want to answer, her face was hidden by her drooping hair. Gu Qiye could see that her fists were slightly clenched.
Hard.
The fist hardened.
At this moment, deathly silence enveloped the living room.
Hei Jin and Su Zimai all knew the purpose of this diaper, only Gu Qiye was kept in the dark.
He was confused, thinking in his heart: "Diapers? Why would Black Pupa bring us diapers, and baby-sized ones? What is this a secret code? What is Black Pupa hinting at? Could it be that..."
Thinking of this, Gu Qiye was startled, and two Chinese characters suddenly appeared in his mind like a bolt from the blue:
——"Early, pregnancy?"
Of course, he couldn't imagine anything other than "early pregnancy" to interpret the diaper in front of him.
These two words undoubtedly stirred up a huge wave in his heart, making him unable to calm down for a long time.
No, even if there is such a possibility, who could it be?
Ke Qirui? It could only be her...but she is a woman, could it be a man dressed as a woman?
Gu Qinye was filled with anger for a moment. He took a deep breath, shook his head to collect his messy thoughts, and raised his head with a complicated expression. Seeing that his sister didn't speak, he moved his gaze away from her face and turned to look at the black pupa.
"Which beast attacked my sister?" His eyes seemed to be questioning.
The black pupa looked solemn and silent.
He just raised his hand slowly and made a salute gesture vigorously, with an expression as if he was doing good deeds without leaving a name.
