Two days had passed by the time Chu Changliu woke up.
The curtains were drawn, and the room was dimly lit. He yawned, sat up in bed, and stretched.
Zhou Ping had already changed his clothes; he was now wearing a blue and white pajama set with a small shark printed on it.
He slept for two days straight. When he woke up, he was full of energy. He looked around but didn't see Zhou Ping.
After pulling my phone out from under my pillow and turning it on, I was bombarded with messages.
Beep beep beep—
Messages kept popping up on my phone screen.
Chu Changliu was so dazzled by the sight that he almost dropped it.
The first to arrive was Shang Qingqian's barrage of messages, followed by her parents, her third uncle also sent several messages, and then Ye Fan and Qi Ye's group.
My phone kept ringing, and several red dots appeared in my contacts. I clicked on them to take a look.
Vortex requested to become your friend (six months ago), but the request has expired.
The Moon Ghost requested to become your friend (six months ago), but the request has expired.
Shen Qingzhu requested to become your friend (one year ago), but the request has expired.
...
Below is a long list of expired friend requests.
After helplessly reading through the messages, Chu Changliu first applied one by one, and then scrolled to the message page with 99+ messages.
After seeing his parents' messages, he first replied to them one by one, and then replied to Shang Qingqian and his third uncle.
Then you have to scroll to the bottom to see Zhou Ping and his chat box.
Don't treat me like a human being: Why won't you talk to me?
The other party replied after a while.
Wife, wife, wife: ...You're awake?
Don't treat me like a human being: Yeah, why don't you talk to me! You haven't sent me a single message, don't you love me anymore?
Wife, wife, wife: ...? ? !
Wife, wife, wife: How could I not love you? Stop it, I'm coming up to you right now. And stop staying inside playing on your phone...
Chu Changliu immediately sent Zhou Ping screenshots of the 99+ messages that others had sent him.
Don't treat me like a human being: See for yourself! You still say you didn't!
Wife, wife, wife: ...
After sending a question mark, Zhou Ping went upstairs and opened the bedroom door.
Chu Changliu got out of bed when he heard footsteps downstairs and hid behind the door, ready to scare Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping was not the first to enter.
As Shang Qingqian pushed open the door, a dark figure jumped out from behind the door and appeared in front of her.
"Ah!" Shang Qingqian took a step back. "A thief has broken into the house!"
Chu Changliu stood there, stunned.
The room was dark, and Shang Qingqian couldn't see the person in front of her. Just as the slap was about to come down, Chu Changliu quickly reached out to block it.
"No, no, no, don't hit me!"
What's going on? Why is it Shang Qingqian who came in, not Zhou Ping?
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Shang Qingqian immediately stopped her hand from striking out.
She grabbed Chu Changliu's ear. "Oh, so you actually scared your older sister?"
Chu Changliu repeatedly begged for mercy, "No, sister, I didn't mean to scare you, I meant to scare Zhou Ping, I didn't expect you to be the first one to come up..."
Standing behind Shang Qingqian, Zhou Ping silently reached out and turned on the light in the room.
However, as if to answer Chu Changliu's question, he patiently explained, "My sister was worried about you, so she said she wanted to come up and check on you."
"I told you to put down your phone... Your parents are waiting for you downstairs." Zhou Ping looked at Chu Changliu, who was being begged for mercy by Shang Qingqian by having his ear pulled, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
Shang Chen and Shen Yu had come up to check on Chu Changliu in the morning. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, they didn't disturb him.
Chu Changliu howled as he was being pinched. He quickly broke free from Shang Qingqian's clutches, hid behind Zhou Ping, reached out and hugged Zhou Ping's waist, peeking out his head.
"Sis, you're twisting too hard! I'm not going to be friends with you anymore!" he shouted.
Shang Qingqian put her hands on her hips and said, "Oh, you have the nerve to say that!"
Seeing the siblings arguing again, Zhou Ping couldn't help but laugh.
As if remembering something, Chu Changliu pinched Zhou Ping's waist hard, then let go and ran downstairs, saying, "I'm not going to be friends with you anymore! You didn't even send me a single message!"
Zhou Ping:...!
Chu Changliu was asleep during that time, his phone was turned off long ago, and he was with him, so why would he send any messages?
Shang Qingqian's eyes twitched, and she followed him downstairs. As she went down, she patted Zhou Ping on the shoulder and said, "You spoil him too much. Look at what he's become!"
Zhou Ping:......
She silently took out her phone and started sending messages to Chu Changliu.
Shang Qingqian turned around curiously and saw that Zhou Ping was indeed typing and sending messages while going downstairs, so she shook her head.
It was only thanks to the fact that Chu Changliu's original body and his body in this world looked about 70% similar that he didn't give himself away.
After going downstairs, I immediately saw my third uncle sitting in the bookstore, along with Shang Chen and Shen Yu.
Upon seeing Chu Changliu, Shen Yu couldn't hold back her tears and almost cried out, "Yan Yan..."
"Mom, I'm back!" Chu Changliu rushed over and hugged her tightly.
"Oh, oh, it's good to be back, it's good to be back." Shen Yu wiped away her tears and hugged him back. "You must have been tired from being out all this time. Mr. Ye told us that you've done a lot..."
"Well, it went relatively smoothly, you got back very quickly!" After hugging Shen Yu, Chu Changliu turned his gaze to Shang Chen and his third uncle, whose eyes were red-rimmed. "I'm sorry to have worried you..."
Third Uncle patted him on the shoulder, "It's good that you're back. Tomorrow, go to Third Uncle's place with Zhou Ping, and Third Uncle will cook for you!"
"Your friends have been to Uncle's restaurant before and said his cooking is delicious. They'll come again next time," Uncle said happily, pleased that the two children had returned safely. "They even brought me a lot of things..."
Chu Changliu was taken aback. "Huh? Is it Qi Ye and the others?"
"Several groups of people have come. One team has Lin Qiye, another one has Wang Mian... and there's also someone named Zuo Qing," Uncle San said with a smile. "I heard from them that you and Zhou Ping have accomplished something big."
Chu Changliu blushed. Actually, Zhou Ping handled most of the important matters; he hadn't helped much. "Oh, not at all... I was just doing what I could to help..."
Zhou Ping just came down the stairs at that moment.
His third uncle patted him on the shoulder, glanced at Zhou Ping from the left, then at Chu Changliu, his smile genuine. "No matter what you did, it's good that you're home..."
His face was wrinkled from smiling.
"Yes, Third Uncle, I'm sorry to have worried you..." Zhou Ping nodded in response.
Third Uncle waved his hand, "It's good that you're back safe and sound. It wasn't all for nothing that I worried."
"By the way, we just discussed it, and now that you've finished your business, haven't you?"
When do you plan to get married?
