live together
Yi Ning sat opposite her quietly without saying anything. Seeing that she was confused, he did not urge her to accept the reality as soon as possible.
After all, if someone else encountered something like this, it would be a miracle if they didn't go crazy. Xiaowu was able to remain calm and seemed to be trying hard to accept it.
She couldn't help but feel proud, he was worthy of being Xiaowu.
After a long silence, Wu Siqi took two deep breaths and exhaled slowly. Suddenly, he stood up without saying a word, walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out a box of white chocolate, and walked back.
Yi Ning: "Xiao Wu?"
Wu Siqi opened the package and put a chocolate into his mouth. "I'm so hungry that my stomach hurts. I don't know where the porridge I just bought went after you used those spells on it. Let me fill my stomach."
"How can you eat something like this just because you're hungry!" Yi Ning climbed up using his hands and feet, and walked into the kitchen in two steps. "I'll make you something to eat!"
She suddenly opened the refrigerator and was embarrassed. Xiaowu was not very good at cooking now, so she didn't store any ingredients in the refrigerator. It was empty, with only some milk and chocolate, not even an egg.
She silently closed the refrigerator door and turned back to meet Wu Siqi's teasing eyes. She tilted her head as if asking: If I had no choice, do you think I would just eat a piece of chocolate?
Yi Ning scratched his face awkwardly, "Xiao Wu, how about we go out and get something to eat?"
Wu Siqi smiled and nodded. Now, he should just let go of his thoughts. Past and present lives are too heavy.
She picked up the bag that was thrown on the ground, took out the key from it, and went out with Yi Ning wearing a pair of white Crocs.
The summer breeze was blowing, the night was deep, and the watch showed that it was almost three in the morning, and there was still some lingering heat from the scorching sun in the air.
Late at night, the neighborhood was extremely quiet and the street lights were dim. Wu Siqi, who had just been frightened, subconsciously leaned towards Yi Ning.
Yi Nengpie saw the tall and thin man slowly approaching her, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. In the past, Xiaowu always protected her. She couldn't help but straighten her chest and back. Now she has grown to the point where Xiaowu can rely on her.
"Xiaowu." She said softly.
"Um?"
Wu Siqi tilted his head and lowered his eyebrows to look at her, and then he realized that the distance between them was a little too close, with their shoulders almost touching.
Yi Ning: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." After saying that, he flipped his hand and held her wrist.
The warmth passed through her veins and reached her heart, dispelling her anxiety and fear. Wu Siqi did not break free from her hand as she did in the past when others approached her.
They walked slowly, and she could see Yi Nin's slightly upright posture and his overly serious eyes. She felt like something was tapping her heart gently.
A loud dog bark came from somewhere, and the air was mixed with the smell of frangipani.
She didn't answer, letting the hand hold her, letting their shadows merge together in the dim light.
The two of them walked to the entrance of the community.
On the entire street, only the sign of a convenience store was still lit.
Wu Siqi raised her hand first, and Yi Ning let go, then raised his hand and pushed the door open with her. He said cheerfully, "I can smell the sausages from far away. Wow, they smell so good."
There was only one employee in the convenience store in the early morning. She looked up and yawned. "Welcome, what can I order?"
Wu Siqi: "Give me a grilled sausage." She looked around the glass cabinet again and ordered a bowl of oden.
The clerk packed it up, placed it next to the scanner, and asked, "Do you want anything else? We're having a promotion right now, 25 off for orders over 40. You guys are offering 28, do you want to add to the price?"
Wu Siqi turned around and asked Yi Ning, "Are you hungry? Or is there anything you want to buy to take home?"
Yi Ning looked at the glass window. Everything was plain. She pursed her lips and shook her head. After shaking it for a while, she suddenly realized the hidden meaning behind Wu Siqi's words.
She said, "I want a new pair of slippers for me," and then she skipped to the front of the shelf and picked up a pair of white slippers.
The clerk scanned the code of each item, packed the food and daily necessities separately, and said with a barcode scanner: "The total is 63, and after the discount it is 38. Let me scan you."
There were no seats in this convenience store, so they each carried a bag and walked home side by side.
Wu Siqi took the plastic bag from her hand, took out the still steaming sausage from the paper bag and handed it to her, "It will be cold and not tasty when you get home."
Yi Ning's eyes sparkled. She took the bamboo stick reverently with both hands, smiling sweetly, revealing her little fangs: "Xiao Wu, you're the best!"
***
The next day, Yi Ning knocked on Wu Siqi's door early in the morning, "Xiao Wu! Let's go to the supermarket together! I'll cook for you! Xiao Wu!"
Sucking on his slippers, Wu Siqi opened the door for the noisy guy and yawned deeply, "What time is it?"
"It's almost eleven o'clock, the sun is shining on your butt." Yi Ning reached out and pulled her hand, pushing her towards the bathroom.
Brushing his teeth listlessly, Wu Siqi looked at himself in the mirror. His hair was messy and the dark circles under his eyes were clearly visible. Doesn't this guy know that for office workers, sleep is more important than eating?
Not to mention that I went to bed so late last night. It was already three o'clock when I got back from the convenience store, and it was already four o'clock after eating, taking a shower, and so on. If you don't get enough sleep for eight hours for a long time, you will die suddenly.
After she finished washing, the kitten came to her energetically and urged her to change her clothes.
Their destination was the convenience store outside the residential complex. Wu Siqi yawned as she followed Yi Ning out the door. She asked Wu Siqi with great energy, "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, I see you usually like to order eggplant and beef when you order takeout. How about I make you stir-fried beef with onions and eggplant with sauce?"
"Okay, you decide." Wu Siqi responded to her lazily. The sunlight was a little dazzling, so she put on the hood of her sun protection jacket.
The little girl chattered and walked backwards, not noticing that she was about to step into a puddle. Wu Siqi reached out and grabbed her arm, "Be careful, walk properly."
Yi Ning retracted his foot, turned around and walked seriously, "Xiao Bai called me this morning and said that the police have found out where the man who attacked you yesterday lives."
"But they came up empty-handed. The guy escaped, but he wasn't completely unnoticed. The police rescued the child he'd kidnapped before they could kill him. Xiaobai said the child was frightened into amnesia. Alas, it's all my fault."
"Why should I blame you?" Wu Siqi paused and tilted his head to look at her.
Her voice became deeper, not as energetic as before: "Do you remember the day you picked me up?"
Wu Siqi was still not used to it. She was actually the little black cat sheriff who had been with her for more than three months. After hesitating for a moment, she said "hmm" with an embarrassed look on her face.
Yi Ning lowered his head, looking at the stone bricks on the ground, and spoke slowly, "That night, I was about to catch it, and I almost succeeded. I didn't expect it to attract thunder. Thunder is harmless to ghost immortals, but I am a demon immortal. I was struck unconscious by it, and then my true form was revealed and fell in front of you."
She raised her foot and kicked the small fruit from the banyan tree in front of her away.
He said guiltily, "If I had caught it that night, so many children wouldn't have been killed."
Wu Siqi watched the small fruit fly out, land in the distance, bounce twice, and roll into the gap in the stone brick pattern.
Her gaze also stopped, and she prepared her words before speaking.
She arched her eyebrows and said in a very soft voice, "In everything, we should just do our best and leave the rest to fate. It's not your fault."
"Don't take the blame for something that doesn't belong to you." Wu Siqi raised his hand and patted her head gently.
Yi Ning hummed heavily, then smiled again, "Xiao Wu, thank you."
"I didn't do anything, why thank me?"
Wu Siqi was the first to enter the supermarket. She took off her hood, pushed the abandoned cart in the middle of the street in front of her, and turned back to urge Yi Ning: "Let's go."
Yi Ning hurried after him, "Xiao Wu, after we buy the groceries, let's get some snacks. We don't have anything to eat at home, it's ridiculous."
Wu Siqi: "Okay."
After two turns, Yi Ning had picked out a whole cart of pork, beef, mutton, fruits, and vegetables. Wu Siqi held back her hand as she tried to continue picking, "Okay, that's enough! We can't finish all the food in the car in a week, and the refrigerator won't even hold it all!"
"Okay." She obediently put the bag of chicken wings back, "Then let's go pick out some snacks."
Wu Siqi held the cart with both hands, while Yi Ning held the iron frame in front with his backhand, excitedly guiding her along the way. "It's rare to see Xiaowu bringing snacks home. Does Xiaowu have any favorite snacks? I prefer the ones with meat. What about Xiaowu?"
"I'm not picky about food, I eat everything. Just buy what you like."
Wu Siqi casually put a bag of beef jerky into the cart.
Yi Ning took a lot of snacks to pass the time. Wu Siqi raised her eyebrows but didn't say anything to her. It didn't matter if the shelf life was long. She stopped when she passed by the chocolate display stand.
Feeling the resistance of the car pulling, Yi Ning turned back in confusion: "Xiao Wu?"
Wu Siqi squatted down to pick out the only snack she would actively buy. Her hand stopped at the white chocolate she usually bought, hesitated for a moment, then slid to the strawberry flavor and whispered, "Let's change the flavor."
She stood up and gently put it in the cart. She said, "Let's go. If you buy more, we'll have to move the whole supermarket."
On the way home, both of them had their hands full of things. When they opened the security door, Wu Siqi realized that something was wrong. It was too natural. His life was being invaded too naturally.
She looked down and saw that she was putting on her own slippers. This man was too unreasonable.
Wu Siqi raised her hand and scratched her brow. Forget it. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Once she catches that thing and solves the case, everything will return to normal.
She is a fairy, and my fate has no effect on her, so just stay here.
Yi Ning took the cooking ingredients into the kitchen, while Wu Siqi sorted out the snacks and placed them neatly on the sideboard. After that, she went into the kitchen and cleaned up the refrigerator.
They started to heat the oil in a wok. Yi Ning used a spatula to push Wu Siqi out. "There's a lot of smoke. Xiaowu, get out now."
With nothing to do, she wiped the dining table, tidied up the living room, and sat at the dining table with her face in her hands, waiting for dinner.
When the phone rang, Wu Siqi remembered that she hadn't checked her phone today. The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number, so she directly pressed the hang-up button and threw it aside.
"Ding! Ding, ding, ding!" Yining came out with dishes in both hands, "Sorry for the wait."
Wu Siqi stood up and wanted to help, but she pushed him back. "Princess Xiaowu works too hard, just wait for dinner."
She smiled and frowned. What the hell? Never mind, it's good to have food served to you. Just consider it as rent for her stay.
Yi Nian turned around and brought two beautifully served bowls of white rice with a few black sesame seeds sprinkled on top. The two dishes in front were also exquisitely arranged.
"In addition to studying many art majors, have you also gone to New Western to learn cooking?" Wu Siqi teased her with a pair of wooden chopsticks, and the tip of the chopsticks traced the cat hairpin on the end of her hair in the air.
"I haven't been there before. You taught me how to cook, Xiaowu."
Yi Ning picked up a piece of beef for her and said, "Eat it quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Wu Siqi ate a few mouthfuls of food slowly and leisurely. It tasted very good. She could tell from the crayfish last time that this person was very good at cooking. She didn't expect that the home cooking was even better, with good color, aroma and taste.
Wu Siqi: "What kind of person is she? She can tell fortunes, cooks well, and has such a likable personality. You're overestimating her."
