Chapter 91 Too Much of a Coincidence

Ning Min saw this scene when she came back from Chu Zhen's place.

Qi Nian sat sideways on the sofa with his face buried in Chu Rongshi's arms, who looked unusually anxious.

Ning Min was a little dazed for a moment. If she hadn't seen Qi Nian's body trembling slightly, she would have even thought that they...

She walked over quickly and asked worriedly, "What happened to Nian Nian?"

Qi Nian was startled when he heard Ning Min's voice. Just as he was about to push Chu Rong away, he felt the latter patting his back gently with a soothing tone.

He clenched his fingers slightly, but finally chose to believe Chu Rongshi and did not push him away immediately.

"Nian Nian feels a little uncomfortable when she sees the old photos." Chu Rongshi explained in a faint voice.

Qi Nian came out of the other's arms, and sure enough, his eyes were red, which was heartbreaking to see.

Ning Min looked at the other person and couldn't help but think of the other person's mother again, and her nose was sore.

She immediately turned her head and blinked to hide her expression, then touched Qi Nian's head with heartache.

"Mom, I'll take him out to relax." Chu Rongshi glanced at Qi Nian who was in a depressed mood and vaguely knew why.

Ning Min was stunned by the proposal, but then she thought it was okay. She nodded and watched Chu Rongshi and Qi Nian leave.

I was half-heartedly thinking, are these two brothers too close to each other? Then I came to my senses and smiled, thinking that a good relationship is a good thing.

"Brother..." Qi Nian followed behind Chu Rongshi, clenching his fingers nervously. Did his brother discover something?

Will the other party... hate him? Thinking of this, he felt as if his heart was stabbed by someone, and he instantly felt even more uncomfortable.

Chu Rongshi turned around and found Qi Nian crying again. He stopped, frowned and wiped away her tears, and sighed, "Why are you crying again?"

Qi Nian pursed her lips: "I'm sorry..."

"Why are you apologizing?" Chu Rongshi looked at the panic-stricken boy in front of him with affection and heartache.

The young man grasped his sleeve tightly with his fingers and looked at him nervously: "Brother, please don't dislike me."

Chu Rongshi sighed, kissed the boy's forehead, and whispered to him, "How could I dislike you? I like you so much that I can't wait to love you."

Qi Nian's heartbeat quickened, and he quickly asked, "Never?"

Chu Rongshi said with certainty: "Never."

I don’t know what’s going on, but Qi Nian felt strangely relieved when he saw the other person’s determined expression.

Chu Rongshi found that Qi Nian seemed to become a little clingy to him. For example, when he sat down in front of the beautiful artificial lake, the other party immediately sat down next to him like a little follower.

He looked at the other person in surprise. The latter pursed his lips uncomfortably and flicked his fingers: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Chu Rongshi smiled, took out the photo album he had just brought out, and opened it: "Do you want to hear me talk about the past?"

Qi Nian hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

The lakeside where they were was very quiet. This area belonged exclusively to the Chu family, so few people came here. Because the environment was well protected, some unknown birds would occasionally visit.

Sitting here, admiring the beautiful scenery not far away, I feel inexplicably relieved.

Qi Nian narrowed his eyes and listened carefully and quietly to Chu Rongshi's talk about the past.

When he was a child, Qi Nian especially liked to stick to Chu Rongshi. When he was not yet able to walk steadily, he liked to follow Chu Rongshi unsteadily.

If he accidentally fell, he would quickly get up, clench his fists to encourage himself, and then continue to follow Chu Rongshi.

…

Qi Nian was a little dazed for a moment when he listened to Chu Rong talking about the past with some nostalgia. He didn't know why, but he felt that everything in the past was particularly familiar.

It was as if he had experienced it before.

This shouldn't be the case. Qi Nian frowned, feeling a little strange.

At this moment, Chu Rongshi stopped talking, and Qi Nian quickly asked, "What happened next?"

Chu Rongshi felt somewhat guilty.

Later, when Xiao Qinian was playing, he accidentally hit his head and fainted. When he woke up again, he had no memory of what happened before and his temperament had changed drastically, as if he had become a different person.

Qi Nian's eyes widened slightly, this was too much of a coincidence, he also hit his head when he was a child, and after waking up he had no memory of what happened before.

The director of the orphanage said that he was blessed with a good life and had a chance to survive. He also became much more sensible because of this incident.

The aunt said happily that Qi Nian is so well behaved and good-looking now, maybe he will meet someone willing to adopt him in the future.

At that time, Qi Nian was confused about everything. He knew that children with parents would be very happy, so he began to expect to be adopted, and even hoped to have a brother. For some reason, he felt that in addition to his parents, he should also have a brother.

However, his luck seemed to be a little bad. Some accidents happened later and he was never adopted.

After coming back to his senses, Qi Nian did not dwell on his past emotions. He seemed to have grasped something and hurriedly asked Chu Rongshi: "He...how old was I when I lost my memory?"

Chu Rongshi looked at him and said, "Five years old."

The ages matched, and combined with the drastic change in personality, Qi Nian suddenly had an incredible guess.

Could it be that... he is the consensus of this world?

Maybe he came here not to travel through time, but to...set things right?

Qi Nian's heartbeat suddenly quickened. This guess was so tempting to him that he couldn't help but base all his guesses on it.

However, no matter how he guessed, it would not be enough to prove anything unless he could remember the past that he had lost.

Thinking of this, Qi Nian frowned and couldn't help knocking his head.

The next moment, Chu Rongshi grabbed his wrist with a frown on his face. He was pulled into his arms and heard Chu Rongshi's apologetic voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't think highly of you."

Qi Nian was stunned. He even felt Chu Rongshi's fingers trembling with great fear.

His nose felt sore, and he hugged Chu Rongshi: "Brother, although I don't remember it, I know it's not your fault."

Chu Rongshi didn't say anything. He gently pressed his palm on the back of Qi Nian's neck and kissed the side of her cheek lightly.

Qi Nian blushed immediately. He pursed his lips, feeling happy and shy, but he didn't push Chu Rongshi away in the end.

Then he heard Chu Rongshi laugh, Qi Nian couldn't stand it anymore, and said fiercely: "Don't laugh! If you laugh again... I won't let you kiss me if you laugh again!"

After Qi Nian finished speaking, he was stunned. How...how could there be such a threatening person!

He is really... out of his mind!

Unexpectedly, Chu Rongshi was very cooperative, slightly distanced himself, and said, "I'm not smiling, so can I kiss you?"

Everyone thought: "!!!"

He looked around and waited for a long time. When he saw Chu Rongshi still looking at him, as if asking for his opinion, Qi Nian was so shy that he wanted to bury himself. He lowered his head and said shyly, "Don't ask me!"

The next moment, he was met with a violent kiss, as if the other party wanted to devour him.

When Chu Rongshi let him go, Qi Nian was a little afraid to meet his burning eyes, so he quickly turned his head and whispered, "Brother, do you think I have a chance to recover my memory?"

He really wanted to restore his memory now to verify whether his guess was correct, otherwise, there was always a vague feeling of unreality.

Chu Rongshi pinched his fingers and played with them like they were some fun toys: "Maybe you should consult a doctor."

At this moment, Chu Rongshi understood Qi Nian's obsession with that memory, so even though he knew there was little hope, he was unwilling to say it directly. Even if there was a little hope, he should try his best.

When Qi Nian heard that there might be hope, he immediately looked at Chu Rongshi with starry eyes. He couldn't help but move his butt and sit close to him. He shook off the hand that was held by him and said, "Brother, I'll leave it to you~"

I really couldn't resist the boy's coquettish behavior, so no matter what, the only answer I could get was "it can be recovered."

Even if you look for all the experts in this field.

Seeing Chu Rongshi nod, Qi Nian was delighted. He stretched out his legs and gave him a shoulder massage, saying nice things to him without asking for anything in return: "Thank you, brother. You are the best. You are simply the best brother in the world!"

Chu Rongshi looked at him with a smile and said, "I don't want to be the best big brother in the world."

Qi Nian was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had flattered the wrong person, and quickly tried to save the situation: "Then what do you want to do?"

Chu Rongshi curled his lips and said something in his ear.

Qi Nian's eyes flickered, and he said hesitantly: "You...you are the best...boyfriend in the world!"

This time, Chu Rongshi was really satisfied.

Qi Nian let out a breath and rubbed his hot cheeks. His brother was really... so embarrassing!

Ning Min was originally still worried about Qi Nian, but when he came back, she found that not only had Qi Nian's mood improved, but he seemed particularly happy.

Ning Min felt relieved, but at the same time a little confused. She didn't know how Rong Shi managed to make Nian Nian so happy.

How could she not know that Rong Shi could actually coax people?

——

I don’t know if it’s because the huge mountain pressing on his heart has become much lighter, but Qi Nian has become visibly more cheerful recently.

Liu Yu also joked: "Sure enough, love is so nourishing!"

Qi Nian blushed at what she said and coughed lightly: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Hey, you're still shy." Liu Yu cheered even louder.

Everyone thought: "..."

"Don't mention love to me, I'm so upset lately!" Everyone is in the cat breeder group, and because of the previous incident, they have established a deep friendship, so the relationship has improved a lot. At this time, Qiu Yu'an, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said with a frustrated look.

Qiu Yu'an is a young lady with a very good personality. She is now a senior, but she plans to stay in school, so she is now helping her tutor and has not left the school.

The other person seems to be in a bad mood recently. It can be seen that he must have encountered some troubles. I was not saying that to anyone just now. I was just upset.

Realizing that his tone was not very nice, Qiu Yuan apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it to be against you."

"It's nothing." Qi Nian didn't think it was a big deal. After all, no one is in a bad mood. But seeing Qiu Yu'an looking sad, he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Senior sister, did something happen to you?"

"Oh, don't mention it. It's all because of my dad." When Qiu Yu'an mentioned this, her face was filled with resentment. She finally found someone willing to listen to her troubles. She said, "I don't know what's wrong with my dad. He insisted that I go on a blind date to meet his friend's son."

When Liu Yu heard this, she immediately understood why Qiu Yu'an was in a bad mood. After all, for a man in his early twenties, it was impossible for him to accept a blind date so easily. He might even be a little resistant to it in his heart.

As Liu Yu, who was once advised by her father to get to know her friend's son, she understands this very well.

Liu Yu: "If you don't like it, just refuse it."

"I refused, but my dad still asked me to meet him." To be honest, Qiu Yu'an didn't understand this at all.

Her parents divorced when she was young, and her father raised her alone with great difficulty. Her father has always been a very open-minded parent, and he has almost never forced her to do anything she didn't like from childhood to adulthood.

So she didn't understand what was going on this time. At the same time, because she had seen her father's hard work over the years, she couldn't reject him forcefully, so in the end she was the only one who was depressed and worried.

"Oh, forget it. I'm already very happy that you are willing to listen to my troubles. As for the rest, we can talk about it later." Qiu Yu'an sighed and said helplessly.

Liu Yu glanced at Qi Nian and asked, "So, senior sister, are you going to go on a blind date?"

"Let's go meet him, otherwise the boss will blame me and I won't be able to explain to him." Qiu Yu'an said with a smile, not knowing whether he had figured it out.

Liu Yu asked again: "So, are you going alone? Or ask a friend to accompany you?"

Qiu Yu'an was somewhat moved when she heard this. Although she was not socially anxious, she felt embarrassed just thinking about meeting another strange man alone.

But then again, she is now a senior in college, and most of her friends are in the same situation as her. Many of them are interning in companies, and they also have to prepare their thesis and so on. Overall, they must be very busy. Qiu Yu'an really feels embarrassed to waste other people's time because of this matter.

After hearing Qiu Yu'an's worries, Liu Yu thought about it and said with a smile: "Senior sister, I'm quite free. Take me with you. I can help you when you are embarrassed to speak up."

Qiu Yu'an's eyes lit up when he heard this. Qi Nian, who was standing beside him, watched him excitedly hold Liu Yu's hands tightly: "Liu Yu, you are so kind, aren't you? Woo woo woo, I am so moved, thank you!"

Liu Yu chuckled and said that it was okay, after all, she was quite free.

She glanced at Qi Nian who was standing beside her, and suggested, "Why not call Qi Nian as well?"

Qi Nian, who had been silent the whole time, thought: "?"

Qiu Yu'an felt that it didn't matter how many people she brought with her. She didn't want to leave a good impression on the other party anyway, and this trip was just a formality.

So he asked Qi Nian if he was willing to go.

When Qi Nian heard Qiu Yu'an say this, he hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

Qiu Yu'an, who was originally quite resistant to blind dates, was inexplicably happy and said happily: "I will discuss with the other party and book a good restaurant when the time comes."

I don’t know why, but Qi Nian always feels that a blind date has suddenly turned into a dinner party.

He shook his head, discarding the strange thoughts in his mind.

——

On the day of the blind date, on the way to the restaurant, Qiu Yu'an explained to Qi Nian and Liu Yu: "I think Lu Mingxun might not want to go on a blind date either. Didn't I say I would bring two people with me? He was quite happy and said he would bring his roommate with him as well."

Qiu Yu'an added: "Oh, Lu Mingxun is my blind date."

Liu Yu and Qi Nian felt that Qiu Yu'an's analysis made sense. Maybe Lu Mingxun had agreed to come for the blind date because his family had made him helpless.

Qiu Yu'an also provided strong evidence. For example, after they added each other on WeChat, they didn't say a word to each other for the first few days, and no one took the initiative to start a conversation.

Judging from this, Lu Mingxun definitely does not want to go on a blind date, otherwise the other party should at least take the initiative to find some topics to talk about.

And judging from the conversation between Qiu Yu'an and the other party later, Lu Mingxun is not socially anxious. On the contrary, he is quite talkative.

After this analysis, Qiu Yu'an felt happy. After all, a blind date partner who is also not interested in blind dates is much easier to deal with than a blind date partner who really comes for a blind date.

"We've already agreed that we'll just meet once and go through the motions, and then go back and tell my dad that we don't have any feelings for each other." Qiu Yu'an clapped his hands happily, thinking that this was perfect!

After hearing this, Qi Nian nodded and said, "That's good. Your father probably won't say anything anymore." After all, according to Qiu Yu'an, her father was quite open-minded.

Maybe he was a little tough in asking Qiu Yu'an to come for a blind date this time because he thought the other party was better?

Apparently, Qiu Yu'an thought so too. She crossed her arms and snorted, "What can my dad say when I see it?"

The group arrived at the agreed place and saw two boys walking in. Qiu Yu'an glanced at one of the tall and thin boys and asked tentatively, "Lu Mingxun?"

Lu Mingxun immediately understood who she was and said with a smile, "You must be Qiu Yu'an, right?"

After getting to know each other, they found a place to sit down.

At the beginning, the conversation was normal, but later on, Lu Mingxun inadvertently complained about his father, and it was as if the conversation was opened up by both parties.

Lu Mingxun: "My dad is so annoying!"

Qiu Yuan: "My dad too!"

Lu Mingxun: "My dad sent me a message again asking how the blind date went."

Qiu Yu'an glanced at his phone after hearing this and saw that it was a good guy: "My dad also got it."

The two looked at each other and instantly seemed to have found a confidant. Qiu Yu'an complained: "I think we can form a blind date victims alliance!"

"Hahaha, don't say it, really don't say it." Lu Mingxun smiled and typed a reply to his father: "I'd better reply, so that he won't keep sending me messages."

Qiu Yuan nodded: "I will reply too."

Qi Nian whispered to Liu Yu: "Why do I feel like they are having a good chat?"

Liu Yu had never been in a relationship, but she had a lot of experience. She secretly said, "Although they chatted well, there was no ambiguity at all. It was obvious that they were not interested in each other."

After all, having a good chat doesn't mean there will be love. Looking at their determined eyes, they seem to be about to join the party.

Qi Nian was silent for a while about Liu Yu's description, then observed Qiu Yu'an and Lu Mingxun. It must be said that what Liu Yu said did make sense.

For example, if Lu Mingxun asked Qiu Yu'an to help pass him tissues, and if the two were really interested in each other, this action might spark love.

But looking at Lu Mingxun and Qiu Yu'an, the two seemed to be completing some important handover ceremony. They looked at each other and smiled at each other. There was no ambiguous atmosphere at all.

It can be seen that these two people have no interest in each other.

Qi Nian: “…”Okay.

However, the two of them reached a consensus on their lack of interest in each other, so they became happier as they continued to talk.

"Hahaha, you're so funny." Qiu Yu'an laughed so hard that he fell backwards, and then expressed that he wished he could become sworn brothers with Lu Mingxun.

"That's great, I think we can call each other brothers in the future." Lu Mingxun also has a bit of a silly personality, and this trait is revealed after he lets go.

He complained: "I think my dad and your dad are so narrow-minded. Just because they have a good relationship, does that mean we should be a couple? Isn't being brothers better than being a couple? Our friendship is as solid as a rock!"

Qi Nian: Hiss... If I remember correctly, these two just met when they walked in, right?

Qiu Yu'an agreed with Lu Mingxun's opinion and said with emotion: "You are absolutely right!"

Anyway, the last blind date is over, and although I don’t know anything else, it is impossible for Qiu Yu’an and Lu Mingxun to be in love.

Qiu Yu'an was very happy about this. Let's see what her father would say to her. Humph, she had already established a deep revolutionary friendship with Lu Mingxun anyway!

"Thank you for coming with me today. I'll treat you to dinner later." Qiu Yu'an was in a good mood and felt very happy. After all, he had solved a problem.

"We have just eaten and it was very delicious." Qi Nian said honestly that not only did he have a big meal, but he also listened to the crosstalk by Qiu Yu'an and Lu Mingxun, which was very good.

——

After leaving the tutor, Qiu Yu'an took a bus home. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong aroma of food.

Qiu Yu'an asked in surprise while changing his slippers: "Dad, what good day is today? You actually prepared such a big table of delicious food."

When Mr. Qiu heard that his daughter had returned, he said happily, "You haven't even seen it yet, but you know there's a big table?"

Qiu Yu'an said confidently: "I can smell it!"

Father Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Go wash your hands quickly, it's time for dinner."

Qiu Yuan: "Okay!"

Sitting at the table, Qiu Yu'an couldn't wait to take a bite of the food. She squinted her eyes in happiness. She looked at her father who was hesitant to speak and said, "Dad, just ask whatever you want to ask."

When Father Qiu saw that his daughter had seen through him, he coughed and asked, "How are you getting along with your uncle Lu's son?"

"Not bad." Qiu Yu'an finished speaking, but before his father could feel happy, he heard the other party say, "But we both think that the other party is not suitable."

Father Qiu was anxious when he heard this: "You two have only met once, how can you feel that it is not suitable? Yu'an, why don't you get to know each other again, maybe... maybe you will feel that it is suitable again?"

Qiu Yu'an, who was eating with big mouthfuls of food, frowned upon hearing this. Her appetite instantly dropped by half. She looked at her father with a puzzled look on her face: "Dad, I've already told you, it's not appropriate."

Father Qiu: "You two can get along with each other for a while..."

Qiu Yu'an didn't understand why his father, who had always been open-minded, was so stubborn about this matter!

Hearing Qiu Yu'an's complaints, Qi Nian also found it a bit strange. According to Qiu Yu'an, Qiu's father was a very open-minded father. He would not do such a thing as forcing his daughter to continue getting along with her just because she said something inappropriate.

But Mr. Qiu did just that. Is there any other hidden story behind this?
