Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Can I do some work that requires me to wear clothes...
Qin Sheng looked at him and smiled, "Why, after all this time, you still feel awkward?"
He remembered that when he first proposed that Xu Zhaoyi marry him, this man said he was a man with an expression that said, "How can there be such a ridiculous thing in the world?"
I would rather suspect that he suffers from some kind of gender identity disorder, unable to distinguish such obvious differences between men and women, and not realizing that there is a possibility that he actually likes men.
Fortunately, Xu Zhaoyi did not react at that time, otherwise it would have been difficult to achieve the cooperation.
"I didn't...!" Xu Zhaoyi felt that it was really hard to change Qin Sheng's stereotype of him, but he hesitated for a moment and finally didn't have the courage to explain that he was actually quite looking forward to it.
It’s not that he meant to treat it as a serious marriage ceremony, but even if it was fake, he would still feel that it was an experience with special significance.
It was better not to continue this topic, and Xu Zhaoyi turned to ask about the incident when Qin Sheng asked him to intercept Li Zixin's soul.
"Can you tell me now?" He took out two paper figures covered with runes.
Feng Lili and Li Zixin had both turned into evil spirits by now, but were trapped in paper figures by the talismans drawn by Xu Zhaoyi himself. Xu Zhaoyi asked Mian Nian to go to the kitchen and get two transparent sealed glass bottles to seal them in.
"If I had known that Li Zixin was no match for you at that time, there would have been no need to hide it from you."
Qin Sheng sighed and told Feng Lili the news he had heard from the inside of Southern Communication.
"It's difficult to determine who was responsible for your parents' incident. It might not necessarily be Li Zixin, but considering all factors, he is undoubtedly the most likely suspect."
Xu Zhaoyi's face darkened as he spoke of this. "Regardless of whether it was him or not, he was the one who brought this vicious spell in and taught others to use it to harm others. He's not wronged."
Qin Sheng nodded: "I thought so too, that's why I asked you to keep him so that you can vent your anger."
But speaking of this, he suddenly remembered: "Xu Wenbo is still imprisoned in the basement. I think the Xu family has already considered him dead. What do you plan to do with him?"
"Just like them." Xu Zhaoyi stretched out his fingers and casually fiddled with the two sealed bottles. The small bottle was moved to a position where spots of sunlight were scattered as if by accident.
The Yang energy burning the ghost made a sound that ordinary people could not hear, sizzling, very much like barbecue oil sprinkled on charcoal fire. Hearing this, Xu Zhaoyi's lips curled up, but his eyes were red with hatred.
He would retaliate against accomplices who were paid to do things, let alone the culprit. He would not be soft-hearted.
Xu Wenbai happened to be in their hands, which was a blessing. He could join this small charcoal barbecue team first. The rest of the good uncles had to wait until he had time to clean up the mess himself.
After being stunned for a while, Xu Zhaoyi composed himself and planned to take Qin Sheng to meet his parents.
"Hmm?" Qin Sheng confirmed in surprise. "Let me go with you? Have you figured out how to introduce me to them?"
In fact, according to his thinking, there is no need to be so stubborn about some things. It doesn't matter whether you lie and conceal the truth or tell the whole story. After all, Xu Zhaoyi didn't do anything bad, so why should he feel guilty?
But he could see Xu Zhaoyi's previous entanglement.
First of all, Xu Zhaoyi was unwilling to lie to his parents, which Qin Sheng could not quite empathize with, but he could also understand his stubbornness after he lost his father at a young age and got him back many years later.
Secondly, Xu Zhaoyi was not too happy about telling the whole story, which he understood. It was really hard to tell his parents, who were already in such a miserable state, that their son's life was not satisfactory either, and that he was forced to fake marry a man and do risky things.
There was no other way, he could only choose to hide it. Qin Sheng really didn't mind at all. He always talked about mother-in-law and mother-in-law before, just wanting to see Xu Zhaoyi's expression as if he had eaten strange-tasting beans every time he heard it. But he didn't expect Xu Zhaoyi to suddenly change his mind and want to take him to meet his parents.
She seems more open-minded than him.
I wonder when she secretly took Chinese medicine behind his back to cure her homophobia?
Xu Zhaoyi, who hadn't taken any Chinese medicine at all, shrugged and said, "Just tell the truth. Our engagement is not shameful, and you are not too good to show for it."
Qin Sheng understood now: "He said half and left the other half. He only mentioned the engagement and didn't mention the dangers of cooperation. That's the Spring and Autumn style, right?"
Xu Zhaoyi nodded with a selfish thought in his mind: "I'm not worried that they won't be able to accept that I like a man, but I don't want them to be worried about me even though they are like this."
Qin Sheng thought to himself when he heard this: Then why do you insist on taking me to meet your parents?
He smiled gently and stood up, saying, "Let's go, and take the noodles with you."
As for animal protection, it has been taking care of the two elders at home for some time, and we are already very familiar with it, so there is no need to introduce it specifically.
After hearing this, Noodles raised its head and asked, "What should I call them? Grandpa and Grandma?" It was worried that it would be too affectionate to call them that, and the old people couldn't stand this stimulation.
The one who couldn't stand the stimulation before the old man was its little father. Xu Zhaoyi picked it up and walked upstairs, while patiently teaching it: "Just call me grandpa and grandma."
"Isn't that right?" Noodles insisted: "Dad's dad is grandpa, and dad's mom is grandma."
Xu Zhaoyi asked with a forced smile, "Why did you unilaterally expel my little dad from the father group?"
Noodles suddenly felt a chill on his neck. His desire to survive came through and he shut up obediently, rubbing his chubby face against Xu Zhaoyi's shoulder.
Qin Sheng chuckled and said, "Just call them grandpa and grandma. No one here needs to take up those two titles anyway."
Xu Zhaoyi paused.
He opened his mouth to say something but something stuck in his throat, because he knew that no matter what he said, he could not whitewash the fact that Qin Sheng had both parents but was worse off than having none.
Only Noodles couldn't read the air and spoke out loudly, "Yes, come to think of it, your luck in kinship is quite similar. There's not a single good person in the Qin family, but there were two good people in the Xu family who were murdered, leaving behind a bunch of unlucky people."
Xu Zhaoyi: “…”
Qin Sheng tried hard to suppress his laughter: "...the child is still young." And his words were not unreasonable, and he was not wrong.
"I finally understand why you have such a good temper." Xu Zhaoyi said softly.
Qin Sheng laughed and shook his head, "This has nothing to do with noodles. In fact, I'm afraid my temper isn't as good as you think. At least the Qin family wouldn't think so."
"You were just pretending, weren't you?" Xu Zhaoyi didn't think the Qin family deserved a good-tempered Qin Sheng.
"You can't say it's all fake. Every time I lose my temper with them, there's a reason. They do do things I don't like, and I know I have to vent my anger on them in time to prevent them from getting more aggressive in this invisible confrontation with me.
In short, whether I lose my temper depends on the cost-effectiveness of such behavior in the current environment. Obviously, losing my temper at a stupid AI that knows nothing is simply self-serving."
Noodles, who was suddenly scolded, turned around and snorted, leaving him with a round cartoon-like back of his head.
Xu Zhaoyi was shocked: "Why do you analyze my own strengths so utilitarianly? If you think that way, then everyone in this world has selfish elements in their words and actions, and they can't escape the pursuit of material or spiritual things."
Anyway, Qin Sheng is a perfect person. Xu Zhaoyi does not allow Qin Sheng to refute. Otherwise, what does it mean that he is gay in such an unclear way? Does it mean that he has a masochistic tendency?
The process of meeting the parents went smoothly. After listening to Xu Zhaoyi's highly-filtered description of the help and care Qin Sheng gave him after picking him up and bringing him home when he was in the most miserable time, Mr. and Mrs. Xu Wenshen had no choice but to accept that their son had fallen in love with a man.
The sound of crispy noodles almost frightened the grandparents to death.
Qin Sheng promptly explained, "Mom and Dad, it's a robot. It was specially designed to look like me and Azhao."
Xu Zhaoyi felt his heart beating when he heard him calling mom and dad so naturally.
I was speechless again after hearing the second half of the sentence, thinking that his parents would not think that Noodles was really born to one of them.
Even if Noodles is not a cartoon character, he is still very big. To give birth to such a big cub, he has to go back at least a few years. The time doesn't match. Otherwise, Noodles would not have lied to him and said he came back from the future.
Xu Wenshen and his wife felt quite complicated when they heard the words "mom and dad". Compared to Xu Zhaoyi's mysterious confidence, parents are obviously more aware of some unspeakable aspects.
Qin Sheng didn't look like someone who was inferior to others, even though their son didn't look like that when he looked at him alone...
Forget it, they have been dead for many years. People's thoughts will be influenced by the environment they live in. People who are detached from the world will gradually become less concerned about worldly affairs. It is more important than anything else that their son can live a stable and happy life.
So in the end, I could only express with great effort: "Okay... live well."
Thanks to the good care of the animal husbandry staff these days, they have become much more conscious, but they are still not fully used to speaking.
Xu Zhaoyi is already very satisfied.
After coming out of the room, Qin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Zhaoyi chuckled, "You're actually nervous?"
Qin Sheng touched the tip of his nose and said with a rare embarrassment, "I don't have much experience in dealing with normal elders. You know, what I'm best at is getting angry at my parents."
Xu Zhaoyi suddenly stopped laughing.
He also wanted to get angry at Qin Kangnian and Wu Yunlian, and he would try it after they got married and moved back to the Qin family.
With this small goal in mind, Xu Zhaoyi tried to retreat for a period of time to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining. In the end, he found that it was all in vain, and he was afraid that he would give up in the short term.
Qin Sheng also advised him not to be too anxious: "Your progress in cultivation is really too fast. You should stop and calm down before considering continuing. You can use this time to study more about formations and the like."
"I'm already very proficient in the Nine-Curved Corridor." Xu Zhaoyi flipped through the book "Compendium of Dongxuan Formations" and said, "Other formations are difficult to replicate, so I won't be using them for now. I've just memorized their diagrams. If I come across them, I'll just know how to solve them."
He is quite hardworking and has memorized everything. Qin Sheng looked at him flipping through the book with his head down and was silent for a moment. Having good talent and high efficiency does not mean that one has not worked hard.
After a while, he suddenly said, "How about we combine work and rest and I take you to the hot springs?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhaoyi’s first thought was: Do I have to take off my clothes to take a hot spring bath?
Qin Sheng didn't notice this and continued to talk to himself, "I used Tang Ling's identity to invest in a hot spring resort. It was a single-family courtyard resort with private hot spring pools in each room. It was very private and the environment was nice."
Oh, it turns out they don’t have to take off all their clothes and soak in the same pool facing each other.
Xu Zhaoyi tried to control himself from thinking about random things. In fact, he was not yet ready to explore the physical needs between two men. His affection for Qin Sheng had been quite simple so far.
But some things are better not to be reminded, because once you are reminded, you can no longer ignore its existence.
Food and sex are human nature. Even a righteous man like Xu Zhaoyi cannot escape the pornographic bubbles in his mind.
Although there was no need to be honest with each other, Xu Zhaoyi still felt that it was strange to go to the hot springs together. Couldn't Qin Sheng suggest that they do some activities that required wearing clothes?
I thought to myself that maybe I should just leave, but I said, "I'm fine with anything, you arrange it."
After saying that, Xu Zhaoyi pursed his lips tightly.
Seeing that he agreed, Qin Sheng went straight to make arrangements. He planned to bring Noodles and Husheng with him, and let Xu Zhaoyi leave a few paper figures at home to look after the house.
Noodles is wearing the shell of an orange cat. After being nourished by spiritual energy for a period of time, it can now fold up the leaves on its head and looks no different from a normal three-headed human cub.
Because it was a detached small courtyard and it was his own territory, he had fewer concerns. Qin Sheng realized later that Xu Zhaoyi might feel embarrassed, so he asked him if he wanted to invite Jin Nianyue, Zhou Jianwei and others to join him.
“…Ask them, if they are free.” Xu Zhaoyi lowered his voice slightly.
It's not that I have any objection, but I feel that the other party didn't deliberately create ambiguity.
Just... a little lost.
But it was good to have Nian Yue and the others there. He couldn't imagine himself and Qin Sheng being alone in such an ambiguous environment, although he couldn't say what the difference was between living in the manor with them.
Maybe hot springs themselves are closely related to the word ambiguity, so Qin Sheng doesn't need to do anything deliberately.
Zhou Jianwei must be free, as Qin Sheng had hidden him away. The family had enough food and drink, but he still felt bad about it, so he immediately agreed when Qin Sheng asked him.
Jin Nianyue hesitated for a moment after receiving the invitation. She was not a person who liked to be in a crowd, but when she thought about the fact that Xu Zhaoyi was her only friend since childhood, she didn't want Qin Sheng to misunderstand that she didn't care about Xu Zhaoyi, so she agreed to go together.
So the group made an appointment, and Qin Sheng would drive to pick them up tomorrow.
When Xu Zhaoyi heard him say he was driving to pick someone up, he suddenly asked, "The Qin family might still be looking for Zhou Jianwei, right? Is it okay to be so high-profile?"
"They haven't started looking yet. They're now concentrating their efforts on finding a cure for Qin Shi. But it will be soon. Once they realize that Qin Shi can't be cured, they'll start thinking about revenge."
"So what's going on with him? Did Zhou Jianwei just...cut him in half?"
Xu Zhaoyi made a reasonable guess. Otherwise, with the Qin family's background, they wouldn't be able to easily come up with a magic medicine to treat impotence, right?
Regenerating a broken limb would be much more difficult.
Qin Sheng couldn't help laughing out loud.
"If that were the case, how could Zhou Jianwei escape unscathed? Qin Shi wouldn't be so useless."
"Would you please describe the plight of my old classmate directly and make me happy?"
Xu Zhaoyi was really curious.
But the more curious he became, the less Qin Sheng wanted to tell him. He deliberately said, "Why do you insist on listening to this? Aren't you afraid that you'll have images in your mind and dream about it again?"
"Tsk, don't disgust me on purpose." Xu Zhaoyi had a look of disgust on his face and really didn't ask any more questions.
Maybe I'm really afraid that dirty things will enter my brain and pollute my dreams.
He had never had any desire for Qin Sheng and didn't want to develop a psychological trauma about the bodies of people of the same sex before that.
Thinking of this, his gaze drifted uncontrollably, looking at the sky, the ground, the patterns on the coffee table, and finally he couldn't help but look at Qin Sheng who was lazily leaning on the single sofa beside him.
He didn't know that his sight was real.
Qin Sheng was a little stiff when he was looked at by him. He lowered his head to check if there was anything wrong with himself, but found nothing. He could only cough lightly and asked:
"What are you looking at?"
"...Nothing." Xu Zhaoyi's eyebrows jumped and he immediately came back to his senses. He retracted his gaze and hurriedly made an excuse: "It's just a little strange. I never see you exercising. How come you are in such good shape?"
Qin Sheng blinked slowly when he heard that.
Finally someone discovered this huge BUG.
