Chapter 16 "Please play the game rationally and do not get addicted to it."
Qi Ying looked at Xing Xiaochu and the kitten in her arms and said helplessly, "Why are you apologizing again? This is obviously not your fault."
The kitten cried out, Qi Ying reached out to touch it, and the little fellow panted and went straight into Xing Xiaochu's arms. Xing Xiaochu looked up at the person in front of her, blinked her eyes, and said to her: "Is it hungry, sister?"
Qi Ying scratched the kitten's chin, looked around, and then said to Xing Xiaochu, "They said they stole it from a bar. Let's go return it."
Xing Xiaochu nodded and followed Qi Ying to find a bar.
With Qi Ying's company, Xing Xiaochu was not so afraid even when walking at night. While stroking the kitten's back, she quietly looked at Qi Ying and found that she was wearing pajamas and slippers, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Sister." Xing Xiaochu asked her in a low voice: "How did you find me?"
Qi Ying scratched his cheek: "I guessed you went downstairs when I didn't see you when I got home. I didn't look for you for long before I saw you were surrounded by people."
Xing Xiaochu said "oh", held the kitten in her arms and asked her, "Are you busy at work? Are you getting off work now?"
Qi Ying put his hands in his pockets and nodded: "Yes."
Xing Xiaochu didn't dare to ask any more questions.
You were clearly wearing pajamas and slippers, so why did you say you just got off work?
Xing Xiaochu was worried that asking this would annoy others, so she lowered her head and followed Qi Ying forward. She could faintly smell a sweet, peach-scented pheromone at the tip of her nose. Xing Xiaochu hugged the kitten tightly in her arms, not knowing what to do.
She wanted to ask whose house Qi Ying spent the night at, and whether it was the peach-flavored Omega.
I also want to ask why he came out to look for me in the middle of the night, are you worried about me...
But Xing Xiaochu didn't dare to ask any of these questions.
Just as the two were walking in silence on the street, Qi Ying spoke first.
"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Qi Ying glanced at the child and said to her, "It's very dangerous for an Omega like you to go out at night. Fortunately, those two people didn't hurt you, otherwise how can I explain to your mother?"
As soon as Xing Xiaochu heard Qi Ying mention her mother, she immediately looked up at her. After a long while, she apologized: "I'm sorry."
Qi Ying laughed, stopped and rubbed the child's head, and said softly: "Why are you apologizing again? It's not your fault that you met a bad guy, but you must be careful next time, don't go to the alley, and don't go out alone in the middle of the night."
Xing Xiaochu squinted her eyes due to being rubbed, just like the little kitten in her arms.
The amber eyes glowed in the night, especially beautiful. Qi Ying was stunned for a moment before she realized that her heartbeat had accelerated. She quickly pulled her hand back and looked at the bar not far away, and said softly to Xing Xiaochu, "We're almost there."
The bar is a quiet place and is now closed, with only the lights inside the store still on.
The two people stood at the door and looked at the locked door, then looked at each other, and their eyes fell on the kitten sleeping in Xing Xiaochu's arms.
Qi Ying stretched out his index finger and tapped the kitten's head, saying jokingly, "Falling asleep already? You have such a big heart."
Xing Xiaochu also laughed softly.
You can't just throw the kitten away like this, Qi Ying hesitated for a moment before asking the laughing child: "Do you want to keep it?"
Xing Xiaochu didn't look up immediately, but stroked the kitten's tail before looking up at Qi Ying and asked weakly: "Can I raise it? Will it cause you trouble..."
"It will definitely be troublesome." Qi Ying approached Xing Xiaochu and said with a chuckle, "But it won't take much effort. It's just that it's so small. If you want to raise it, you will have to take care of it, okay?"
Xing Xiaochu had never raised a small animal before, and she was not sure if she could take good care of a kitten that had just been weaned.
But she really wanted to keep it.
Qi Ying knew the child was thinking when she saw her hesitation, so she didn't urge her. She just said softly, "It's too late now. Let's go home first. If you still don't want to keep it when you wake up the next morning, we'll send it back. If you want to keep it, we'll keep it, okay?"
Xing Xiaochu nodded repeatedly, but then felt a little embarrassed. He looked at the ground beside him, and the tips of his ears were red.
Qi Ying took the initiative to hold Xing Xiaochu's hand. The little girl looked up at her, and then was pulled home by Qi Ying.
Along the way, Xing Xiaochu held Qi Ying's hand quietly, looking at the kitten, then at Qi Ying, and then at the two people holding hands. The tips of his red ears moved, and he was a little shy.
When I got home, the kitten was still sleeping and purring. It didn't wake up when Qi Ying took it from Xing Xiaochu. It didn't wake up when he put it in the washbasin covered with clothes. It was sleeping soundly.
Qi Ying bent over, watching Xing Xiaochu squatting beside the washbasin and covering the cat with a clean handkerchief, and said with interest: "This cat will definitely be fat in the future."
Xing Xiaochu looked up at her with a puzzled look: "Why did you say that, sister?"
Qi Ying said: "Because a happy heart makes a fat body."
Xing Xiaochu pursed her lips and smiled.
"Smiling?" Qi Ying pinched the child's face, picked her up and said to her, "Let her sleep in the study for one night. You can come to see her tomorrow morning. Now go wash your face, change clothes and go to bed."
Xing Xiaochu nodded, glanced at Qi Ying's pajamas under her coat, pretended she didn't see it, opened the door and went out.
At the door of the guest bedroom, Xing Xiaochu held the door handle and said to Qi Ying, "I'm going to sleep now. Good night, sister."
Qi Ying nodded at her: "Good night."
After watching the child close the door, Qi Ying returned to his room and closed the door.
Today's incident made Qi Ying realize that something was wrong.
Which game character would call her in the middle of the night because the player didn't log into the game?
Although Qi Ying had not played many games before, she knew that this situation would never happen in ordinary mobile games or PC games. When the player went offline, he went offline, and the character just had to wait quietly for the player to come online again.
Fortunately, Xiaochu is different. She would worry that Qi Ying might have encountered some danger if she didn't come home, so she went out to look for her alone.
This is very wrong.
Qi Ying opened the game and found the customer service of the game. He saw the phone number above and dialed it directly. The other party answered the phone quickly, and a sweet female electronic voice was heard.
"Hello dear designer, I am the customer service of [Xing Xiaochu's Good Morning Diary]. How can I help you?"
Qi Ying hesitated for a long time with his mouth open before saying, "Why did you arrange for Xing Xiaochu to go out to find me in the middle of the night in this game? What if something happens to her?"
The customer service said sweetly to Qi Ying: "Thank you for the designer's concern for Xiaochu. As a game with a high degree of freedom, Xing Xiaochu also has her own personality and consciousness, but players do not need to have too much burden. After all, she is just a string of ordinary game data. Please play the game rationally and do not indulge in it."
