Chapter 11 Chapter 11 The good intentions of noodles
Xu Zhaoyi stayed there, and apart from meditating every day to try his best to absorb the spiritual energy in the room, he was waiting patiently for the engagement day. He was not in a hurry about Qin Sheng's suggestion that there were other ways to awaken the spiritual roots. He knew that Qin Sheng would probably tell him everything after the formal engagement.
According to the process he knew, they needed to exchange their birth dates before getting engaged, and sign a marriage contract on the day of engagement to inform the heaven and earth. Of course, there were also cases where the engagement was only verbally agreed upon without a formal engagement ceremony. If there were no changes to the engagement in the future, this process would be moved to the wedding.
His engagement with Jin Nianyue was the latter. It was a verbal agreement made when his parents were still alive. At that time, they were too young, less than seven years old, and even if they signed the marriage contract, the Heavenly Dao would not recognize it.
For practitioners like them, this marriage certificate is much more binding than a worldly marriage certificate. If they ever develop second thoughts in the future, it would be fine if they can dissolve the marriage amicably. However, if they cannot control themselves and break the divorce oath during the marriage, they will be punished by heaven, and this is no joke.
Qin Sheng has witnessed the male protagonist's ability to endure in the past few days. If it weren't for Noodles occasionally dragging him out for a walk, he probably wouldn't have noticed that there was a new male owner living in his manor, even though their bedrooms were across from each other.
It's not that there's anything wrong with it, but Xu Zhaoyi acts like he's found a factory and screws screws day and night. It seems that he doesn't even plan to prepare a normal rest day for himself. Qin Sheng always feels like an evil capitalist. In order to maintain his merits, he provides very good benefits to his employees.
So on this rare day when Xu Zhaoyi was forced to come down to eat breakfast because of the noodles, Qin Sheng suggested going somewhere together.
"...Okay." Xu Zhaoyi looked up at him, then quickly looked away and just responded.
Now Qin Sheng was certain that Xu Zhaoyi was indeed uncomfortable because of him. He had been staying in the room all these days and not coming out, probably because he didn't want to be silent with him.
"Um..." He tried to find words to resolve the awkwardness that affected the unity among the partners.
"Hmm?" Xu Zhaoyi still concentrated on drinking porridge.
"You... I mean, do you have any opinion about me?" Qin Sheng finally chose a relatively gentle way of asking: "Did I accidentally do something that offended you?"
He felt that he didn't have it, but Xu Zhaoyi might have thought that he did, so he asked because he was not sure.
“………” Xu Zhaoyi was silent for a while after hearing this. Seeing that he was really confused, he was speechless. He thought to himself, isn’t it presumptuous enough for you to force marriage on a straight homosexual whom you met for the first time?
Just thinking about their current relationship seemed absurd and weird to him.
Even though Qin Sheng had a clean and handsome appearance and did not arouse much resistance in him, it could not change the fact that he was a man two inches taller than him.
Not to mention that Qin Sheng is more than just a stranger to him. The events of his previous life are still as vivid in his memory as yesterday. What's more, Qin Sheng, who has not yet turned evil in this life, has a way of dealing with people that makes it difficult for people to feel bad about him.
Xu Zhaoyi himself couldn't believe it. In just a few days, he couldn't help but develop some faint... affection for the person who killed him in his previous life.
Of course, this little bit of goodwill is not even enough to make them close friends.
Putting all this aside, he also wanted to treat Qin Sheng simply as an ordinary partner, but some of his body's subconscious reactions were beyond his control.
He was so lost...he didn't even know how to describe the feeling accurately.
In the end, Xu Zhaoyi could only utter two words: "No." It sounded dry and not very convincing.
"Okay!" Qin Sheng shrugged helplessly, and without pressing the issue, he swiftly changed the topic that had made Xu Zhaoyi visibly stiff, and took the initiative to explain today's itinerary.
"Today, I'm mainly here to help you solve your worries. Let's go to the Jin family."
Xu Zhaoyi suddenly raised his head.
Qin Sheng smiled at him. "I don't mean anything else. I'm just sure you know what kind of people the Jin family is. If you can't get close to the Qin family, I'll take your back, and they won't be able to eat you anymore. Jin Nianyue's situation is still worrying."
Since he was using Jin Nianyue to force Xu Zhaoyi to cooperate, it was necessary to ensure Jin Nianyue's safety and prevent her parents from selling her into another hell. Otherwise, why would Xu Zhaoyi continue with him? If no matter what he chose, Jin Nianyue would not escape the bad luck.
He had originally planned to solve the problem privately, but seeing that Xu Zhaoyi looked like he was going to weld himself to death in the room, Qin Sheng finally decided to drag him along.
Xu Zhaoyi understood the unspoken meaning of Qin Sheng's words, and was a little surprised that the after-sales service of his marriage was quite good. He hadn't even considered this aspect, and Qin Sheng was already dealing with the problem.
"Thanks."
He really should meet with Nian Yue. Their engagement was so confusing, and he should clarify things in person.
"You're welcome. This is part of our cooperation. However, our true relationship cannot be revealed to Jin Nianyue for the time being. I hope you can understand."
"I understand." Xu Zhaoyi had no reason not to understand. He wouldn't casually tell anyone about this without Qin Sheng's reminder, but...
When he thought about what Qin Sheng said, his expression gradually became indescribable. If he only looked at the superficial relationship, then what was the point of their trip to the Jin family today?
He took his new boyfriend, who was also his ex-fiancée's failed blind date, to visit his ex-fiancée's home, and took the opportunity to warn and teach his future father-in-law and mother-in-law a lesson to support his ex-fiancée?
…Is this correct?
He had a strange look on his face, his eyes wide open.
"What's wrong with little daddy?" Noodles grabbed a piece of buttered toast and ate it bit by bit. It was the one who made today's breakfast, strictly following the recipe, and the taste was just average, so it didn't have a particularly strong appetite.
Alas, ever since it changed into this human cub vest with arms and legs, Qin Sheng started to order it to do housework. The iron-hearted man refers to its host, a man who has no pity for such a cute-looking cub.
God knows how miserable its life must be as it stands on a stool that is taller than itself and cooks with an apron on.
Although it is not tiring.
Xu Zhaoyi was much more relaxed around Noodles than he was around Qin Sheng. He raised his hand to rub its head and honestly said, "I always feel that our group's appearance at Nianyue's house is not to help Nianyue, but more to provoke her."
He had already felt embarrassed by his imagination before he even started, even though he was acting like a villain who couldn't survive more than three episodes in a TV series.
Unfortunately, AI cannot empathize with overly complex emotions.
"Take me with you, take me with you!" Noodles became excited when he heard it, and immediately raised his hand to sign up. He wanted to watch the fun.
“………” Xu Zhaoyi choked at first, then he laughed out of anger. He had actually been sincerely expecting an AI to provide him with emotional value and relieve his wild thoughts.
Although speechless, looking at the expectant eyes of Kazilan, Xu Zhaoyi coaxed her casually: "You have to ask your father about this. It's okay as long as he agrees."
Upon hearing this, Noodles immediately jumped down from its child seat and came to Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng watched it approaching quickly with a greasy mouth, and quickly reached out to grab it by the back of the neck, lifted it up and held it to sit in front of him.
"Old rules, turn into a cat, no talking, and... brat, dare you try to wipe your mouth with my clothes?"
Xu Zhaoyi found it a little funny to see Qin Sheng looking like he was facing a great enemy, so he pulled a napkin to wipe the slightly dirty cartoon face of the noodle that was pouting and making trouble.
After wiping it, I couldn't help but pinch it again. The little chubby face felt as elastic and soft as ever.
"Can't you transform into a more realistic human appearance?" Xu Zhaoyi stared at it for a while and asked the question that had puzzled him for a long time.
Noodles probably wanted to turn into a real person to deceive him from the beginning, but it was blind and didn't realize it was a mistake.
Hearing this, Noodles sighed: "This is limited in number, and the current five quotas have been used up!" There are five places available for a small world mission, and it was wasted because of its blindness. It hurts to think about it.
"Five?" Xu Zhaoyi asked with interest, "Besides cats, what else do you have? Why haven't I seen you use them?"
"Uh..." Noodles blinked quickly a few times, feeling a little embarrassed.
Qin Sheng snorted and answered for it: "There's also a white glutinous rice dumpling with matchstick arms and legs. It's so small that it takes a conservative estimate of half a month to walk from the upstairs bedroom to the dining room for dinner. Its only function is to switch emojis to act cute to me..."
He didn't use the word "sheep dung" to describe the size simply because they were eating.
At this point, Noodles couldn't help but interrupt: "You often use me as a stress reliever, but you didn't mention a word?"
Qin Sheng glanced at him noncommittally and continued, "There's also a rather cute black and white skunk. It's quite useful. The 'biochemical weapon' it releases can knock out a whole room of strong men. It just has a small flaw: it can't distinguish friend from foe."
At this point, even someone as calm as Qin Sheng couldn't help but sigh before continuing, "The last one is a miniature...fly whose use is still unknown."
When he said the last two words, his tone clearly implied that it was difficult to put into words.
Noodles grumbled in dissatisfaction, "What do you mean I don't know what to do? Flies can fly! They're stealthier than butterflies and bees, more agile than mosquitoes, and perfect for eavesdropping on secrets. This is the only high-end style with wings. Do you understand why I chose to be a little fly?!"
Qin Sheng was too lazy to complain. In modern society, who doesn't carry an internet connection with them? As a system, it can obviously do it by crawling along the network cable. Does it have to become a fly and travel through mountains and rivers to eavesdrop to make it more ritualistic?
He laughed and said, "Well, a fly is not unacceptable. I am indeed very grateful that you did not turn into a cockroach, otherwise I really would not be able to help but carry insecticide with me."
"Hey, bug spray doesn't work on me!"
"That's a shame."
"snort!"
