Chapter 29
Xiao Qi was stunned: "..."
Tang An looked at his petrified expression with satisfaction. He loosened his collar and pinched his chin with two fingers, forcing him to look at him. "Oh, I almost forgot. You are an ancient person now. You don't understand, right?"
Tang An's finger slid across Xiao Qi's lips viciously: "Dad means father, as for inserting..."
He deliberately dragged out the tone and glanced down at the person.
Xiao Qi was completely shattered: "Father, Father???"
What does that mean?
When he read storybooks, he often read those with some color in them.
I, I, I… fucked… my best friend’s son??????
Maybe it's not what he thought.
Xiaoqi comforted himself.
Tang An sneered: "You are hard, father."
Xiao Qi was petrified on the spot: "..."
For the rest of the journey, the atmosphere in the car dropped to freezing point. It was so quiet that only the roar of the engine and the sound of the tires rubbing against the road could be heard.
Tang An occasionally glanced at the passenger seat and saw that the person sitting in the seat had been maintaining the posture of facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes. His body was as stiff as iron, and even his hair revealed a sense of despair that he had no desire to live.
The corners of his lips curled up, but his grip on the steering wheel tightened.
Tang An is waiting.
Once midnight passes, Chi Ying's body will change.
It is said that when people are most helpless, they discover that something unknown and incomprehensible is happening to them.
When the time comes, it will be clear whether it is a god or a ghost.
The car finally drove out of the isolated village of the Shenshan tribe and joined the highway leading to the city.
Outside the car window is a bizarre picture of modern civilization.
Xiao Qi, who was originally in a petrified state, seemed to have pressed the restart button after being struck by the scene passing by quickly outside the window.
He was practically pressed against the car window, his eyes wide open, exclaiming in a burst of unseen exclamations:
"Wow! There are so many iron monsters running! They are running so fast!"
"Red, white, black, blue... and they glow! It's amazing!"
"Those houses! They're longer than me! The palaces I've seen look like thatched huts compared to these!"
"This... is this the Ninth Heaven?! It's truly extraordinary!"
"Everyone is dressed so strangely and has their hair cut so short..."
"Hey hey! Why is that young lady over there dressed like that? What a mess..."
Before he could even utter the word "decency", he was interrupted by a shrill horn sound.
Tang An honked the horn angrily.
This look of Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden is really out of place on Chi Ying.
Xiao Qi was so frightened that he shuddered all over and immediately fell silent.
After a few seconds, curiosity got the better of him. He cautiously approached Tang An, his eyes fixed on the round object that controlled the iron monster. He tentatively reached out to touch it: "What was that you pressed just now? It was screaming so loudly..."
Before his hand even touched hers, Tang An mercilessly slapped it away: "I'm driving! Don't move!"
Shen Qi covered the back of his hand that was beaten red, feeling aggrieved and angry: "Why are you always so fierce?!"
Tang An scoffed, his aversion to stupidity taking over. "Vicious? Do you want me to teach you about the traffic rules of this world right now? Let's see what happens if you mess with the steering wheel?!"
Shen Qi's eyes lit up instantly. He completely ignored the threat and only grasped the key words: "Jiao Tong rules? Is it a new law in this world? Tell me quickly!"
Tang An took a deep breath, feeling like his temples were about to explode: "What else do you want..."
He stopped talking mid-sentence.
Looking at Shen Qi's eyes filled with pure curiosity, a deep feeling of fatigue swept over him.
"……never mind."
Tang An's voice dropped an octave: "Sorry, I don't want to talk to you right now."
The car instantly fell into silence, with only the monotonous echo of the engine.
It was very quiet in the car.
Xiaoqi didn't dare to breathe.
You can smell when humans are angry.
He had escaped several times in the past thanks to his sensitive nose.
Xiao Qi huddled in the passenger seat, trying hard to recall how he had handled such situations in the past.
It seems... there is no other way except hiding?
After all, when the Gu father and son are angry, no matter how much he reasons, it will be useless.
The car drove smoothly on the highway for nearly two hours.
The two of them set off at 7:30, and there were still about three hours before Chi Ying turned into a dog.
The remaining journey will only take about an hour. If all goes well, I will be able to meet Bu Suanzi and the others tonight.
Thinking of this, Tang An felt much better.
He let out a breath and was about to ease the atmosphere when suddenly, a warm hand reached out without warning and gently touched the top of his head with a clumsy comfort.
"Don't be angry..." Xiao Qi's voice was filled with a subtle hint of flattery, and he tried hard to imitate the tone of coaxing a child in his memory, "How about I treat you to some mung bean cake?"
On the highway! The passenger seat! Reached out and touched the driver's head!!!
Without a doubt, the car was captured by the surveillance camera and a fine bill was generated.
Fortunately, the nearest service area is only two kilometers away.
For the next ten minutes, Tang An's face turned pale and he said nothing.
After he took Xiaoqi's hand away, he stepped on the accelerator to the extreme edge of the speed limit. The car weaved through the traffic like an arrow and headed straight for the service area.
Less than a second after the car stopped, he pulled the idiot in front of him and said, "Are you looking for death, idiot?"
Xiaoqi understood the words "seeking death".
He tried his best to turn his face away to avoid being touched: "I don't understand what you are saying."
Seeing that the other person's expression was genuine, Tang An suddenly felt helpless, as if he was talking to a deaf person and playing the lute to a cow.
He let go of his hand dejectedly, sat back in the driver's seat, picked up a bottle of water, unscrewed the lid, and took a big gulp, trying to extinguish the evil fire in his heart.
The cold water slid down his throat, calming Tang An down a bit. "A name? Whether it's a ghost or a secondary personality split from Chi Ying, it should have a name of its own, right?"
"...Chen Qi." Xiao Qi stared at the water in Tang An's hand, "Let me drink some of that in your hand too."
Tang An unscrewed a new bottle and handed it over. When the person was about to take it, he suddenly grabbed it and refused to let go: "Seven from one, two, three, four, five, six, seven?"
Shen Qi frowned slightly: “Yes.”
Tang Yan wanted to say something, but his wrist softened and the bottle was easily snatched away by Shen Qi.
Chen Qi imitated the other person and unscrewed the lid, tilted his head back and drank it down in big gulps. Soon the bottle of water was empty.
He crushed the empty bottle and threw it back to Tang An in disdain: "Bland and tasteless. Your Nine Heavens nectar is not even as good as the sweet spring water on earth."
Tang An took the empty bottle silently, and his fingertips unconsciously stroked the cold plastic bottle.
He tried hard to maintain his composure on the surface, but the huge shock brought by the name Shen Qi was no less than Chi Ying turning into a dog.
The hand holding the bottle couldn't stop shaking.
Shen Qi, Xiao Qi.
Oh my god! Don’t play with me!
Tang An swallowed hard, turned quickly, and covered his face with his shaking hands. His shoulders moved slightly, and his voice was barely audible, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"
He needed some time to digest this subversive information.
As expected, Shen Qi's attention was diverted, and he showed a familiar confused expression: "Going to the toilet? What is this? Is it food? Or a belt that needs to be tied?"
Tang An closed his eyes and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Pee."
Shen Qi suddenly realized, then curled his lips: "Oh, the place for excretion."
Tang An tried his best to resist the urge to call the police or the mental hospital hotline immediately.
Nine Heavens, Nine Heavens...
If this person is really the crazy Shen Qi in the dream, then all the previous strange behaviors and bizarre remarks make sense.
He remembered that he had been talking about the ancient young man before.
hehe.
Fortunately, Shen Qi didn’t know this joke.
Tang An took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to accept this absurd reality. He tried to adjust his expression back to the previous indifference, as if nothing had happened. "We're leaving without going to the bathroom. We still have more than an hour to go. Are you sure you can hold it in?"
Shen Qi snorted in dissatisfaction: "I am a dragon. Dragons breathe wind and drink dew. Why should I bother with such mundane things?"
Tang An's worldview is a bit shaky.
For the next hour, he drove as fast as he could.
An ordinary Mercedes-Benz G-Class managed to drive with the desperate momentum of a discontinued sports car.
Chen Qi seemed to like this feeling very much. His eyes were shining the whole time, and his body swayed slightly with the turning of the vehicle. If the car window had not been locked, Tang An had no doubt that he would have turned into a dragon and crawled out, howling.
At around eleven o'clock, the G-Class stopped at a hotel near a tourist attraction.
Shen Qi got out of the car reluctantly and suggested that he would like to try driving next time.
Tang An vetoed it: "In this world, you need a driver's license to drive."
"Driver's license?" Shen Qi looked confused again. "What is a driver's license? I need to take an exam. Is it as difficult as the imperial examination?"
Tang An got out of the car and went to the trunk to get his luggage.
Chen Qi followed him closely like a curious baby, asking persistently, "How difficult is it? How does it compare to reaching the moon in the sky? Tell me!"
Don't answer the other party but don't give up either.
This is exactly the same as Chi Ying.
Tang An looked at him with a complicated expression: "It depends on the individual. Some people failed the first part five times, while others passed the whole thing on the first try."
The one who failed the first subject five times was Chi Ying.
The one who got through the whole process in one go was Tang An.
At that time, the two almost broke up because of the driver's license test.
The reason is IQ mismatch.
But there is no way Shen Qi could know this.
Tang An lowered his eyelids, with a kind of fatigue and sadness that Shen Qi could not understand: "I am not the person you know."
He was pulling the suitcase, and the sound of the wheels rolling was particularly clear in the quiet hotel entrance, almost drowning out the whisper behind him.
"My name is Tang An. It's a wood character, meaning stable. The body you're occupying now is called Chi Ying. You're my partner, and we're married."
Shen Qi was stunned where he was.
He suspected he had heard wrongly.
He heard every word Tang An said afterwards, but the meaning of the combination was heavily polluted in his brain by words like "father" and "insert", so he directly understood it as another earth-shattering scene -
Hahahaha! Shen Qi, you stupid dragon! That's right! I'm having an affair with you, hahahaha!!! Surprised? Unexpected? Hahahaha!!!
