Qiu Xing admired Xie Yang's expression at this moment, and felt relieved. He slowly changed the topic and said, "I'm just kidding. He is a little toy given by the Xie family. He will stay by my side for the next few years."
Xie Yang: “…”
Feng Qinglin's expression was stiff.
This answer doesn't seem to be much better than the "joke" just now.
Seeing that they didn't react, Qiu Xing's expression darkened again: "Isn't this joke funny?"
Feng Qinglin smiled in cooperation and said, "Uncle, you are so humorous. Your tone just now scared me so much that I really thought you were going to find a man to be my aunt. But why did the Jie family send a boy here? Uncle, are you..."
"You ask too many questions." Qiu Xing's expression changed again inexplicably. He stood up and said coldly, "You should have a good rest." After that, he turned around and left.
Xie Yang looked at Feng Qinglin. Feng Qinglin noticed Jie Yang's gaze, smiled helplessly, and said: "My uncle just thinks this way. You... since you are by his side, please accompany him well. Thank you."
He is worthy of being the future movie queen, his acting skills are great.
Xie Yang didn't respond, but turned around and followed Qiu Xing, waiting to see the heroine's next performance.
In the original book, the visiting scene is written from the heroine's perspective. That night, after dealing with the agent, the heroine was worried about the hero, so she hurried to the hospital to visit him. She accidentally overheard the conversation between the hero and Qiu Xing outside the ward, and learned a little about the hero's life experience. She felt sympathy for the hero, and couldn't help but take good care of him in the following interactions... There is a small plot here. The heroine was too focused on eavesdropping that she didn't notice Qiu Xing who suddenly went out. The two bumped into each other face to face, and the heroine hurriedly ran away and successfully attracted Qiu Xing's attention.
The plot is very much like that of a romance novel. Jie Yang disliked it before, but now he really wants to read it.
Qiu Xing is already at the door.
Xie Yang put his hands in his pockets, kept his distance just one step behind Qiu Xing, and looked at the door of the ward.
Qiu Xing suddenly turned around and said in a sarcastic tone: "Why are you walking so slowly? Are you reluctant to leave Qinglin?"
Xie Yang braked in time and barely avoided hitting Qiu Xing.
There was a rustling sound outside the door, followed by footsteps fading away, and then silence returned. Xie Yang swore, based on the sensitivity he had acquired from living in the apocalypse, that the heroine most likely heard the noise and ran away.
He looked at Qiu Xing.
"What's with that expression on your face?" Qiu Xing lowered his head and approached Jie Yang, his tone as cold as a poisonous snake ready to strike, "You don't want to follow me, huh?"
"..." Xie Yang gave Qiu Xing a look that showed he didn't want to pay attention to him, pushed him away, opened the door and went out.
There was no one outside the door, the heroine had indeed run away.
Qiu Xing lowered his head slowly and looked at his shoulder that was pushed.
Xie Yang's mood suddenly improved.
After the two scenes just now, he has confirmed that although this is a world in a book, the plot does not seem to be unchangeable, and the behavior patterns of the characters are not strictly restricted. For example, the conversation between Qiu Xing and Feng Qinglin just now is somewhat different from what was written in the original book. For another example, the meeting between Qiu Xing and the heroine was ruined without his intervention.
In other words, as long as he flaps the butterfly wings, cannon fodder Xie Yang will not necessarily die.
This is a world of great freedom.
Xie Yang felt relieved.
Qiu Xing noticed the upturned corner of Jie Yang's mouth, patted the place where he was hit with a gloomy face, stepped past Jie Yang, and strode away.
The two walked out of the hospital and got into the car one after another.
The driver noticed that Qiu Xing's face looked much uglier than when he first came in. On the contrary, Jie Yang's brows relaxed a little and he seemed to be in a good mood.
What is happening?
The driver started the car carefully, glanced at Xie Yang sitting next to him, then glanced at Qiu Xing sitting in the back seat, silently overturning his previous evaluation of Xie Yang as "cowardly, easy to bully, from a humble family, not to be taken seriously", and mentally changed the stamp on Xie Yang to "dangerous item".
"Go to Qiushui Mansion."
The driver came back to his senses and reminded: "But boss..."
"Shut up and go to Qiushui Mansion."
The driver was caught in Qiu Xing's sinister gaze through the rearview mirror and shuddered. He quickly shut up and drove quietly.
Xie Yang was too lazy to guess what the two were talking about, so he just closed his eyes and rested.
Twenty minutes later, Xie Yang knew the answer to the riddle. He stood on the first floor of the duplex apartment, looking at Qiu Xing upstairs.
"There is only one bedroom here, so you have to sleep in the living room." Qiu Xing leaned on the railing and smiled maliciously, "I hope you can have a good night." After saying that, he brushed the clothes at his shoulders, turned around and left, turning off all the lights on the first floor before leaving.
Xie Yang: “…”
The illness is serious.
He looked around the living room which was obviously not renovated yet and was so empty that there was not even a sofa. He searched around and walked towards the bathroom.
The bathroom is spacious, with an extra-large bathtub. A stack of clean towels is placed on the shelf next to the bathtub. Brand new, unopened toiletries are placed on the washstand at the door. The water heater is on, and hot water is available at your leisure. For Xie Yang, who had survived the end of the world, such conditions were like heaven, and he was very satisfied.
He took a comfortable hot bath, threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine, and walked around the living room with only a bath towel. Fortunately, he found a carpet, folded it and laid it in the bathtub that had been dried, then spread a clean bath towel on the carpet, locked the bathroom door, and fell asleep comfortably.
In the middle of the night, Xie Yang was awakened by the sound of the door opening. He opened his eyes and was faced with Qiu Xing's sinister face. He instinctively dodged and gathered strength.
Qiu Xing sneered, raised his hand, and threw a quilt on his face.
Bang!
Qiu Xing ran away after scaring people, and slammed the door loudly in a vicious way.
Xie Yang pulled off the quilt from his head and stared at the bathroom door. His good temper, which had been cultivated by the end of the world, was almost broken. He moved his hands, restrained himself, clenched his fists, and lay down again.
With such a bad temper, he deserves to not be able to get the heroine!
Xie Yang slept with nightmares all night until dawn. After getting up, he took out his clothes from the washing machine and changed into them in a depressed mood. He went out and went upstairs, kicked open the bedroom door, went in and pulled open all the tightly drawn curtains.
The sunlight rushed into the room, shining brightly on Qiu Xing's face. Qiu Xing made a move, but before he even opened his eyes, he spoke venomously: "Who...pull the curtains and get out of here. You don't have to come to work tomorrow!"
Xie Yang leaned on the small table in front of the window and replied coldly, "It's a pity, Mr. Qiu, I was hired by your mother to bring you good luck. You can't decide whether I stay or go."
Qiu Xing was completely awake, he opened his eyes and looked at him, full of irritability: "It's you..."
Xie Yang sat down with a big horse and a golden sword, and responded provocatively: "It's me. What, Mr. Qiu wants to fire me?"
Qiu Xing propped himself up and looked at him. After a few seconds, the bad mood that had caused him to wake up suddenly disappeared. He raised his hand to grab a handful of his loose hair, threw off the quilt and stood up, snorting and laughing: "Don't make wishful thinking, Jie Yang. Your father has sold you his entire life, and this is nothing." After saying that, he went straight into the bathroom.
Xie Yang watched his figure disappear behind the bathroom door, restrained his deliberately arrogant attitude, frowned, stood up and left.
The driver brought us two breakfasts, one of which was particularly rich and filled up a large three-layer food box. The portion was very rough, with a bowl of noodles bought from the roadside in a plastic bag, and it didn't even come with a drink.
Xie Yang took the noodles with soybean paste.
"Who told you to eat that?" Qiu Xing pointed at the food box, "Eat this."
The driver pretending to be a wallflower quickly glanced at Qiu Xing, stepped forward and divided the porridge and snacks in the lunch box into half and placed them in front of Jie Yang.
Xie Yang had a heavy meal last night and now wanted to eat something light. He pushed the noodles with soybean paste away without any objection, picked up the spoon, stirred the thick porridge, and fed it into his mouth.
The pure aroma of rice spread in his mouth. Xie Yang paused and looked down at the bowl of porridge.
It was actually a bowl of white porridge without any seasoning, not even the basic salt.
Qiu Xing smiled and asked, "Is the patient's meal delicious?"
Xie Yang swallowed the porridge without saying anything. The rice used to cook the porridge is of very good quality and the cooking technique is very delicate. The taste is simply a pleasure for him.
He drank another spoonful, tasted it carefully, nodded, and then drank spoonful after spoonful, and soon finished the bowl of porridge. After finishing the porridge, his stomach was still empty, so he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a steamed bun with thin skin and plenty of fillings and took a bite.
A pure umami flavor mixed with the flavors of the ingredients themselves spread on the tip of his tongue. Xie Yang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the driver: "Where did you buy these? The chef is very skilled." It was just what he liked.
The driver was stunned and replied dryly: "Mr. Xie, these are made by the chef at home specially for the boss. Do you... do you really think they are delicious?"
"Well, not bad." People who have been craving for food for a long time cannot conceal the joy and satisfaction when they eat their favorite food. Although Xie Yang's tone was still flat when he spoke, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he liked the food in front of him very much, and he ate it with great satisfaction and happiness.
Qiu Xing's expression froze. He looked at the breakfast in front of him with a little suspicion, suppressed his disgust, and scooped a spoonful of porridge into his mouth.
The familiar bland taste stained the tip of my tongue, the driver did not take the wrong breakfast.
He looked at Jie Yang in disbelief: "You..." Is your tongue broken?
Xie Yang had just stuffed a whole steamed bun into his mouth. When he heard the voice, he looked up at him with a dull look, filled with impatience for being disturbed.
“…”
"Ha." Qiu Xing suddenly laughed, leaned back in his chair, and said cheerfully, "Eat more, this table is all yours."
Xie Yang didn't bother to pay attention to him and lowered his head to continue eating.
After breakfast, Qiu Xing took Jie Yang to the company. His good mood lasted for a long time. On the way to the company, not only did he not act crazy again, he also asked about Jie Yang's recent situation like an elder.
"Is C University about to start school? When are you going back to City B? Do you have the money to pay the tuition?"
Xie Yang then remembered that the original owner was still a student at C University in B City, majoring in acting, and was now a junior. Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the group of people he saw when he first came here last night.
Judging from the situation, it seems that the original owner is still a small artist now?
But how could he remember that the cannon fodder Xie Yang in the plot was a waste with no career, no friends, and was simply supported by the villain. So is this a bug in the book, or is he about to lose his job?
