Chapter 46 "Are you really in love?! And with a minor?!"
The two children were confused when they heard this.
"What do you mean?" Xin Ya lowered her voice and asked, "Isn't your sister your sister? Isn't this your home?"
Xing Xiaochu held the kitten and shook her head. She didn't know how to explain her relationship with Qi Ying to the two of them. After thinking for a while, she said, "She took me in."
It is not wrong to say so. Qi Ying was so nice to her because of her mother, so he took her in.
The two of them blinked in confusion. Before they could fully understand what Xing Xiaochu meant, Qi Ying had already brought out some snacks, which were the mung bean cakes and mousse cakes that they had bought two days ago to make Xing Xiaochu happy.
When Qi Ying put down his things, he saw Guazi trying desperately to get into Xing Xiaochu's arms. He was probably scared to death because of seeing a stranger. His tail was all standing on end and he was still being held in Chen Dongdong's hand. He looked particularly pitiful.
She smiled helplessly and said to Xing Xiaochu: "Give the cat to me. It's still too young and shy. Don't scare it."
Xing Xiaochu looked down at the kitten shaking in his arms, nodded, and handed it to Qi Ying.
As soon as Guazi got into Qi Ying's arms, he meowed and burrowed into her arms. Qi Ying held the kitten's butt and said to the three people, "I'm taking it back to the room. You guys can play with it."
"Okay, thank you, sister!"
Seeing Qi Ying leave, the three little heads gathered together again, whispering and continuing the previous topic. Fortunately, Xing Xiaochu's relationship with Qi Ying was not very complicated, so they finished talking about it in a few words. Then Chen Dongdong and Xin Ya suddenly realized.
It turns out that my sister is not really my biological sister.
"But your sister is really good to you." Chen Dongdong said with emotion: "My sister would never treat me like this. She would like to take away all my things."
Xin Ya also nodded and agreed: "Xiao Chu, you are so lucky. Your sister is pretty and kind. You must not make her angry."
Xing Xiaochu knew that she was not even a tenant now, but a taken-in child. She must be careful and cautious in doing things so as not to make Qi Ying angry.
As the three of them were talking, the topic changed to other things. In the end, they simply stopped staying in the living room and went to Xing Xiaochu's room to see the clothes that Qi Ying had made for her!
Finally, their parents called and urged them to go home for dinner. Chen Dongdong and Xin Ya reluctantly said goodbye to Xing Xiaochu. At the door, they said to Xing Xiaochu: "Come to our house on the weekend and we'll play games together!"
Xing Xiaochu waved at them happily.
After everyone got off the elevator, Xing Xiaochu closed the door, glanced at Qi Ying's closed door, and then walked over and knocked.
"Come in."
Qi Ying's voice came from inside, and Xing Xiaochu pushed open the door in front of him.
When Xing Xiaochu's hand touched the door, a series of inappropriate images suddenly emerged in her mind. When she stood at the door and looked at Guazi, who was sitting on the bed and comforting the frightened child, the image became even stronger.
There was a brown object flashing at the head of the bed. Xing Xiaochu saw that it was the capybara doll that he had given to Qi Ying on her birthday. He didn't expect that she would put it next to the pillow.
Does that mean that Qi Ying can see it every night when he goes to bed, and it will also be the first thing he sees when he opens his eyes in the morning?
Thinking of this, Xing Xiaochu's ears inexplicably began to feel hot again.
Qi Ying looked up at the person standing at the door, and feeling the quietness of the room, she asked, "Are they home?"
"Yeah." Xing Xiaochu nodded and said awkwardly, "They have to go home for dinner, so they asked me to go to their house to play on the weekend."
Qi Ying nodded and petted the kitten that was relaxing on his lap.
Guazi must have been a little frightened. When he saw the door open, he stood up and jumped down listlessly. When Xing Xiaochu wanted to bend down to pick him up, the little thing quickly passed through the crack in the door and slipped away.
Xing Xiaochu was stunned for a moment, and looked back at the disappeared melon seeds, still unable to come to his senses.
Can kittens get angry too?
Qi Ying found it funny to see Xing Xiaochu staring blankly outside, so she stood up and walked over to her and said, "It's okay, it's just timid and afraid of strangers. It will be fine when it grows up."
Xing Xiaochu looked back at her and nodded.
Qi Ying looked at Xing Xiaochu and paused for a few seconds before asking, "Su Yun...is she the girl who helped you yesterday?"
"Huh? Yes, she is my deskmate." Xing Xiaochu nodded.
"I heard that you want to treat her to a meal?" Qi Ying reached out her hand and rubbed the child's head, saying caringly and thoughtfully: "Others have helped you, it's only right that you treat her to a meal. Is the pocket money enough? If not, I'll transfer more to you."
"That's enough." Xing Xiaochu held Qi Ying's wrist and observed Qi Ying's expression. She didn't notice that she was angry before she said, "Sister, shouldn't I do this? If you don't like it, I'll tell her tomorrow..."
After all, although Xing Xiaochu said he was generous, it was Qi Ying's money that was spent. One lunch a day, excluding the weekends, that would be more than 20 days, and 10 yuan a day would be more than 200 yuan.
Fortunately, Xiaochu couldn't take out this money, so he could only deduct it from his own pocket money.
Most importantly, Xing Xiaochu didn't want to make Qi Ying angry.
"I don't dislike it." Qi Ying held Xing Xiaochu's hand, chuckled and said to her: "You can make your own decisions about school matters. You don't have to ask me about everything."
Xing Xiaochu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that, and said to Qi Ying happily: "Thank you, sister. What do you want to eat today? How about curry? I'll make it for you."
Qi Ying nodded and watched Xing Xiaochu busily putting on an apron and making curry rice.
In the next few days, Qi Ying lived a regular life. He got up at 6 o'clock in the morning, brushed his teeth, washed up, and had breakfast. He logged into the game and sent his children to school. He came back early to open the store for business. In the afternoon, he went to the door to pick up Xing Xiaochu after school.
Qi Ying got used to this kind of life which was quite stable, but Xia Ruoxin did not.
"No, Ah Ying, what on earth have you been doing recently?" Xia Ruoxin couldn't hold it in any longer. When Qi Ying got off work on time again to pick up the child from school, she asked a soul-searching question: "You're not attracted to minors, are you? Let me tell you, it's illegal to trick minors into dating!"
Qi Ying was tidying up his workbench and replied with three words: "I'm an adult now."
Xia Ruoxin's eyes almost popped out of her head, and she quickly grabbed Qi Ying's arm and said, "You, you, you are really in love?! And with a minor?!"
"First of all, they are adults." Qi Ying said indifferently: "Secondly, we are not in a relationship yet, we are just getting along."
Xia Ruoxin became interested and refused to let Qi Ying leave. She asked her, "Who is that child? What is his relationship with you? How did you know him?"
Qi Ying looked at her strangely: "Why are you asking so many questions? Are you curious?"
"Of course." Xia Ruoxin said, "We've known each other for so long. When did I see you like someone? Tell me quickly. What does that child look like? What do you like about her? You're so attentive every day. When will you bring her over to show us?"
The most important thing is that if Shi Yu knew that the person she pursued was no longer single, and with a child, she would be so angry that her face would turn green. In order to be on the safe side, Xia Ruoxin decided to ask first to avoid getting into trouble.
Qi Ying listened to Xia Ruoxin's nagging questions and said to her helplessly: "It probably won't work if you bring her here. Don't ask so many questions. If it's any later, I won't be able to pick her up from school."
Xia Ruoxin was unceremoniously freed by Qi Ying. She looked at the figure running away and asked loudly, "What time does school end? Is it too late for you to go now?"
Qi Ying said without even turning around: "School ends at 5:10."
Having said that, he disappeared without a trace.
5:10?
Xia Ruoxin took out her cell phone and took a look. It was already 5:04. Qi Ying went out at this hour. Doesn't that mean that the child is a student nearby?
There seem to be only a few middle schools around here, right?
Xia Ruoxin Holmes immediately took out her cell phone and began searching for the nearest high school in the community.
Because of Xia Ruoxin's delay, Qi Ying was a few minutes late when he arrived at the school gate.
Fortunately, Xing Xiaochu is not an impatient person. Besides, today is Friday, and many people are discussing where to go for the weekend, and some are preparing to attend cram school, but these have nothing to do with Xing Xiaochu.
She is an average student and has no hope of getting into a good university. She can only pray to get into a small university and graduate successfully.
"Come to my house and play this weekend." Chen Dongdong said to the two of them while licking his popsicle, "I just bought a shooting game that can be played by three people. We can each have one."
Xinya said, "Okay, but I have classes on Saturday afternoon, so we have to play in the morning or on Sunday."
Chen Dongdong said: "My aunt is coming to visit me this weekend."
Then, they both looked at Xing Xiaochu, who had been silent, and asked her, "Xiaochu, what do you think?"
Xing Xiaochu looked to the left and then to the right, muttering softly: "I don't know how to play games..."
As she spoke, she saw Qi Ying rushing over here, and immediately picked up her schoolbag and said to the two of them, "My sister is here!" Then she ran over.
Qi Ying saw Xing Xiaochu rushing towards him and naturally took her over. He calmed his breath and said to her, "I'm sorry I'm a little late. Did you wait long?"
"I'm not late." Xing Xiaochu raised his head in her arms: "If you're busy, you don't have to come to pick me up. Just call and let me know. I can go home by myself."
Qi Ying laughed and whispered, "I volunteer to pick you up from school."
Xing Xiaochu's heart felt as if it was brushed by a feather, yet it couldn't be stopped from itching. She realized that she was still in front of the school gate and there were so many people around staring at her. Her face suddenly turned red and she let go of the corner of Qi Ying's clothes, and hurriedly lowered her head to tidy up her clothes.
At this time, the other two friends also came over.
"Hello, sister~"
"Hello, sister."
Qi Ying smiled and said, "Hello."
Seeing that everyone was present, Xing Xiaochu said to his two friends, "Let's go together."
Qi Ying stayed with Xing Xiaochu on the way, listening to the three children in school uniforms chattering about where to go for the weekend. Chen Dongdong wanted to play games, Xin Ya wanted to go to cram school, and Xing Xiaochu said like a fence-sitter, "I'm fine with whatever you choose."
Qi Ying glanced at Xing Xiaochu beside him and found that the distance between the four people had subtly changed. At the beginning, the three children huddled together and chattered gossip, and later Xing Xiaochu took the initiative to move closer to Qi Ying. Now, the scene formed that Chen Dongdong and Xin Ya were walking together, and Qi Ying and Xing Xiaochu were walking together.
Xing Xiaochu was answering her friend's questions in a disjointed manner when she felt a heat on the tip of her ear. She raised her head suddenly as if she had been electrocuted, covered her ear, and looked at Qi Ying in disbelief.
Qi Ying put his hands away and smiled at her.
