Blurred boundaries
Wu Siqi was lying on the sofa looking at his phone. The smell of food wafted from the kitchen and went straight into his nose. His stomach growled, it was hungry.
It is so comfortable to come home from get off work and not have to do anything, the clothes are washed and hung out to dry, the floor is clean, the house is tidy, and food is served and clothes are provided.
She turned over and sat up.
Your firm will is about to be corroded by sugar-coated bullets, Wu Siqi!
The guy seemed to find that his ability to accept things was getting stronger and stronger, and now he even conjured up a few 2D household robots. Now in front of her, one was peeling an apple for her, and another was sweeping the floor with a broom.
Yi Ning said this was a paper control technique.
The sweeping robot does not need to be charged, and it can keep running forever just by reciting two spells.
She actually allowed something running at such high speed into her home.
More than a week passed peacefully, and there was no sign of Yuan Li. Her face looked a lot rounder, and Wu Siqi lamented the changes in herself in recent days.
Yi Ning walked out of the kitchen carrying the pot. "Xiao Wu, it's time to eat." She instructed an idle paper figurine, "Serve the rice."
Wu Siqi walked over to the dining table and said with a smile, "This thing of yours is really useful. I'm living a fairy tale."
"It's not the gods' day. The gods prefer to inspire animals to serve as attendants." Yi Ning shook his finger and pointed at Wu Siqi: "This is Xiaowu's day. This Taoist technique was taught to me by you before you were reincarnated. You knew a lot of Taoist techniques before you were reincarnated. This is just the most basic one."
"Me?" Wu Siqi pointed at herself and asked, "Did the Maoshan Taoist priest invent a perpetual motion machine so early?"
Yi grinned and shook his head: "What perpetual motion machine?"
"This is a spirit gathering technique. It briefly gathers the spiritual energy wandering between heaven and earth onto paper and then directs it. Humans would describe it as a remote-controlled robot powered by AA batteries."
It’s easy to understand. Wu Siqi nodded suddenly and lowered his head to pick up some food.
Yi Ning picked up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks and gave it to her. "Eat more meat, Xiaowu, you always only eat vegetables, which is not nutritious enough."
Wu Siqi curled his lips, picked up the piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. He was really good at cooking. He was really good at stir-frying.
The dishwashing task was impossible for one person to complete, and Wu Siqi did not allow Yi Ning to wash the dishes after cooking, so he took on this housework himself.
After drying her hands, she said to Yi Ning, "I forgot to tell you, starting tomorrow you don't have to cook, lunch or dinner. The event will start setting up, and it will probably be busy for five or six days."
Yi Ning exclaimed, "Oh, great! I saw your event and it has a lot of attention. Xiao Wu is really amazing. He always makes everything he does a great job."
"This isn't just my achievement," Wu Siqi said with a faint smile. "And the popularity of this video is thanks to Teacher Yi Ning. You reposted our promotional video on the official Hell Party Weibo account."
Yi Ning raised his head and waved his hands, smiling smugly: "It's just a small favor~ It's just a small favor~ It's nothing to worry about~"
The ringing of her phone extinguished her arrogance. Wu Siqi laughed at her: "Show off, answer the phone quickly."
Yi Ning took out his cell phone and said, "Xiao Hei, what do you want from me so late at night?"
The voice on the other end of the phone pierced my eardrums. "I'm so angry! I'm going to catch this vengeful ghost and throw it into the eighteen levels of hell and fry it repeatedly! Fry it a hundred and eighty times!"
Yi Ning waited until she finished yelling before putting the phone back to his ear, "Hey, what did this resentful person do to you, Master Fan?"
Fan Yu was filled with resentment. "I've never seen such an arrogant ghost! It used that child's blood to write doggerel on the wall for us! When has our ghost officer ever been provoked like this? I'm so angry!"
Xie Ling's voice also came over: "This guy seems to be able to see through the secrets of heaven. He knew in advance that we had captured its energy and escaped from the possessed person right under our noses."
Yi Ning was horrified: "He ran away in front of you?"
The two of them are orthodox ghost fairies, and their aura has a natural suppressive power on ghosts. The fact that they can escape under her noses is no longer the work of ordinary ghosts.
Xie Ling hummed heavily. "If you encounter it, don't try to catch it alone. This damn Taoist priest is quite powerful. Who knows who it's got into this time? The whole city is about to be turned upside down by it."
Fan Yu kept cursing the evil ghost that was teasing them in ghost language, it was so noisy. Yi Ning and Xie Ling exchanged a few words and then hung up the phone.
Yi Ning casually put the phone on the coffee table and looked over. Wu Siqi was sitting cross-legged on the sofa with a laptop in his hand. He was wearing frameless glasses and typing with a serious expression.
"Xiao Wu?" Yi Ning called her softly.
Wu Siqi responded, looking at her with a frown, "Hmm?"
Yi Ning came over and sat next to her and asked, "Do you have to work overtime at home?"
She returned her attention to her notebook. "The exhibition is being set up tomorrow, and a lot of things need to be reconfirmed. Are you done with the call? Go take a shower first. I don't know how long it'll take me to finish this."
Originally, Wu Siqi was going to work overtime with other colleagues in the company today, but for some reason he changed his mind at the last minute. Maybe he was hungry. Anyway, it’s the same to work from home.
Yi Ning responded with an "OK" and stopped disturbing her. He ordered a paper man to mop the floor and then went to take a shower obediently.
The neon lights outside the window flickered faintly on the glass, and the lights in the house seemed to be wrapped in a layer of warm velvet, softly covering every corner.
The air still holds the aroma of food, mixed with the warmth of steam.
The living room was very quiet, with only the tapping of the keyboard and the occasional soft rustling sound of a paper doll mopping the floor.
Yi Ning came back from washing, his hair was still a little damp, and the sweet fragrance of shower gel blew across the sofa like a breeze.
Wu Siqi was still staring at the screen intently, his glasses reflecting the light from the screen, his brows slightly furrowed.
Yi Ning walked over and sat down beside her. She raised her hand to take off her glasses and gently smoothed her furrowed brows.
Wu Siqi raised his eyes and smiled faintly: "What are you doing? I'm busy."
"Take a break, you've been busy for a long time." Yi Ning bent down and handed her the cup on the coffee table.
Wu Siqi took it, drank two sips, and then leaned over to put it back. Yi Ning asked her, "Xiao Wu, why do you wear glasses? You don't look nearsighted."
Wu Siqi closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, saying softly, "I'm not nearsighted, I just have a little astigmatism, a sequelae of the car accident. Fortunately, it doesn't affect my daily life. I only need to wear it when looking at the computer."
"Ah..." Yi Ning looked at her distressedly, stretched out his arms to hug her, his soft hair rubbing against Wu Siqi's neck, and said softly, "You've suffered."
Wu Siqi wanted to say that it was nothing and he was used to it, but the words turned into a soft "hmm" when they came to his lips.
Yi Ning held her and sat for a while until the laptop beeped with a message. Wu Siqi raised his hand and pushed her shoulder away. "Okay, it's been a long time. I need to be busy for a while."
After taking the glasses back from her, Wu Siqi buried himself in his laptop again.
Yi Ning had nothing to do, so he ordered the paper people to do a thorough cleaning at home. It was almost twelve o'clock before Wu Siqi closed the computer and went to wash up.
After drying her hair, Wu Siqi crawled into bed in the warm yellow light, smelling of shower gel.
Yi Ning pushed the door open and came in, transforming into a cat that curled up at the end of the bed, its tail twitching twice. Wu Siqi sat up and gently kicked her cat's butt with her foot, saying coldly, "Get out."
"No." She raised her head and spoke in human language. "That vengeful ghost has become too powerful. What if he sneaks in at night to harm you? I have to stay here to protect you."
After saying that, she curled up like a cat and ignored the person with a bad look on his face.
He kicked her butt twice, but the guy didn't move at all, completely stuck to the bed. Wu Siqi gave up, she was very sleepy, "Whatever, do as you please," she sighed, lay back down, rolled up the quilt tightly, and went to sleep!
The next morning, the air was filled with moisture from last night's rain, but the sky was exceptionally clear.
Wu Siqi swung her long legs and stepped off the motorcycle, stepping onto the wet curb. She returned the helmet to Yi Ning and said, "I'm leaving."
Yi Ning nodded and drove the car to the parking lot. It was too dangerous with so many strangers coming and going in the mall, so she had to stay nearby to protect Xiaowu at all times.
When Wu Siqi officially arrived at the event site, the construction team was already moving tables and chairs and setting up exhibition stands. Many banners and posters with the words "Adopt instead of buying" printed on them had been hung in the mall, and the effect seemed to be quite good.
She rolled up her shirt sleeves and walked over, raised her hand to help steady the wobbly rack, and said to Sister Jin, "Why are you doing it yourself? Why don't you find a helper?"
"I think this kind of shelf is very easy to assemble, so I'll give it a try. I might as well buy one online and use it to store snacks for my kids." Sister Jin half-knelt on the ground to screw the screws on the shelf.
Wu Siqi: "Buy whatever you want. When the event is over, ask your husband to come and help clear the venue. We can move two of them out then."
Sister Jin stood up and patted the iron dust on her hands. "Good idea."
Wu Siqi put the shelf in the right place and asked her, "How's the situation? This construction team seems to be moving very efficiently."
"Everything went smoothly. Their team leader is a nice person and easy to talk to." Sister Jin led Wu Siqi to the podium that was being built.
Sister Jin: "Our event is very popular, and the mall property has given us the right to display on that big screen all day. In addition to the promotional videos and posters, do you think we should contact those hospitals to get their promotional videos and put them up there as well?" She raised her hand and pointed at the LED screen just above the backdrop.
Wu Siqi nodded and said, "I'll ask them. Is there any frame rate limit for this screen?"
Sister Jin: "I asked, 60fps... Siqi, that's Mr. Yi Ning from the Underworld Party, right?"
Huh? Looking in the direction she pointed, I saw the man pulling a cart with coffee and sandwiches on it, smiling towards me. When she noticed I was looking at him, she raised her hand to greet me.
Wu Siqi sighed helplessly, "It's her."
The wheels of the car rumbled, and Yi Ning came up to the two of them. She first said to Sister Jin, "I just bought some things to reward you. You're welcome."
"This? Teacher Yi Ning, why are you so sudden?" Sister Jin looked back at Wu Siqi, her head full of question marks.
Wu Siqi scratched his neck, and unnoticeably kicked the calf of the person in front of him with his toes, signaling with his eyes: Tell me why you are here.
Yi Ning greeted the nearby staff to come over to get breakfast, while explaining with a chuckle: "Hey, I'm a public welfare person. I'm a good friend of your team leader Xiaowu. I heard that you were organizing an event to adopt stray animals here today, so I came here specially to support you."
Sister Jin took the coffee she offered with surprise, "Thank you so much, Teacher Yi Ning, you are such a kind person."
Yi Nin smiled with narrowed eyes and glanced around the venue. "Hmm~ You have quite a large area and the layout is very nice. It will be great to start the event tomorrow afternoon."
This person was very outgoing, brought a gift, spoke warmly and cheerfully, and soon became friends with Wu Siqi's subordinates.
Sister Jin bit into a sandwich and said to Wu Siqi, "I didn't expect you guys became friends after the last event. Why don't you invite them to warm up this time?"
"She's the one with the least time in the band right now. The others are all super busy and can't be hired. How can she, the only drummer, warm up the band? Come on, go check the roster. I'll ask the people in charge for some promotional advertising."
Wu Siqi picked up his phone and called Senior Yu.
Sister Jin walked away two steps and turned back, leaving a meaningful smile at her back.
