The next morning, at the Chu family's old house
Bai Yu never expected that Chu Zehuai would even be jealous of him.
"You treasure this, but I don't remember giving it to you."
Chu Zehuai stared at the light gold bracelet on Bai Yu's wrist with a complicated look.
"This is what you gave me. The scent on it is exactly the same as yours. This down feather even stayed on your wings decades ago."
Bai Yu was helpless. They were obviously the same person, so why was he fussing over this?
If it was the ordinary world or the timeline that caused the exchange of two Chu Zehuai of different ages, he could understand the other's emotions. After all, different experiences make people different.
But this was clearly the same body and the same soul. He watched the other person's body return to normal. There was no second person at all.
“There’s a feeling of being outdone.”
Chu Zehuai hugged his knees and leaned against the wall, curled up into a golden feather ball.
...
...
Bai Yu opened his mouth and wanted to say that even if the young version of Chu Zehuai didn't give him a gift, his bold act of confessing his feelings directly on the microphone had already surpassed his adult version.
But he thought again and realized that if he really told her, her boyfriend would probably be so upset that he would cry.
"How about...I return this to you and pretend I never received it, and you give it to me again?"
Bai Yu stretched out his vines and touched the other's feathers, hesitating.
The main thing is to let him put it away or throw it away, and he is indeed a little reluctant to do so.
"No, I will find something more meaningful than this."
Chu Zehuai shook his head and fell into thought.
Of course there are things more precious than a plush bracelet, but there are things more meaningful than this...
Tsk, it’s hard to find.
"Let's go back to the Investigation Bureau first, cancel the leave slip, and then make up for the work that needs to be completed this week. You can think about it slowly on the way."
Bai Yu didn’t think that the other party could really give him something more meaningful. To him, the plush bracelet was already very important.
The person who gave it was Chu Zehuai, and it had nothing to do with whether the other party was an adult or a teenage version.
"OK."
However, before Chu Zehuai could figure it out, he was called by Chu Yunrou who had received the news and was given a lot of tasks.
Bai Yu also saw the blank documents piled up on his desk waiting to be written.
“How come there are so many jobs…”
Bai Yu glanced at the tasks in the hands of the people around him. Even if a week's workload was added together, the number would not reach this much.
"Xiao Bai, you don't know. There have been a lot of pollutants recently. They are strong and difficult to deal with. The key is that we don't know how they appeared. It's the same as the situation I encountered last time I went on a business trip to Linhai City."
Lin Mo, who had very pointed ears, turned the pen in his hand and explained.
"I encountered it last time, and it felt like the work of the Glorious Cult."
Chu Zehuai flipped the papers in his hands with a rustling sound, and then he let out a long sigh.
Even he would feel exhausted facing so many tasks.
But there is no way, those who are capable should do more work, and this is the current state of the world, it is too chaotic.
"I'm going to go do the mission first. I may or may not be back at night."
He put away the paper in his hand, leaned over, and kissed Bai Yu on the face.
"knew."
Bai Yu nodded, then focused on the work he had to complete.
Lin Mo looked at his brother leaving with the scent of roses, and was still sighing that the two of them were showing their affection and feeding him dog food as soon as they came back. The next second, a large number of tasks were sent to his mobile phone in the same way.
The Dark Night Crow turned into a bitter melon face.
"Help! Why are there so many jobs——"
**
At night, at Bai Yu's home.
[If I didn't have so many vines, I would probably be working overtime at the Investigation Bureau like Lin Mo.]
Bai Yu was cleaning the house while chatting with the system.
I haven't been home for a week, and there's a little dust on the furniture and walls.
He couldn't stand the plants that loved crawling on the floor, furniture, walls and ceiling. He didn't allow his smooth vines to be stained with even a little dust, so he started cleaning and tidying up as soon as he got home.
Until he saw a small box in the drawer with the words "Chunfeng Teahouse" printed on it.
[This seems to be a rose thing, and I have used the candle inside. ]
Bai Yu opened the box and took a look. There were some intact small props inside.
[This looks familiar.]
The system touched its non-existent chin, quickly took a photo and searched the image online, then threw the search results to Bai Yu.
[…..So this is how it is used. I saw it in the resources that Sister Yuan gave me. I said that the force of this clamp is so weak and I don’t know what it is used for. It turns out that it is clamped there.]
Bai Yu picked up a log-colored clip, his nose twitched, and his handsome eyebrows wrinkled.
The corpse of the willow tree...
dislike.
[System, please help me. According to the above materials, place an order with the local express delivery. I want to make a new one based on this. ]
How can other plants appear on my boyfriend?
Even a willow tree that has been dead for who knows how many years is not allowed.
【OK. 】
Bai Yu, who had no talent for handicrafts, finished this work until late at night when everyone was asleep.
“Knock knock knock—”
There was a slight knock on the window. Bai Yu, who had been sitting at the table and hesitating for a long time, stood up and skillfully opened the window.
"I thought you wouldn't come so late."
"I thought you'd gone to bed so late, but I saw your light was still on when I passed by, so I came to check on you."
Chu Zehuai turned over and went in, helping to close the window. He waved his hand in front of Bai Yu.
"By the way, I finally found a gift that is more valuable than the one that person gave me. Do you want to guess?"
"What is that person? I don't know what you are competing with yourself for."
Does it mean that if I forget what I did in the past, it means I didn’t do it myself?
Bai Yu twitched his eyes, but even though he couldn't understand his boyfriend's amazing train of thought, he still cooperated and showed a little expectation and curiosity: "What is it?"
To be honest, he couldn't think of what the other party would give him.
The rose vine clay figurine and the plant happy water were the most satisfying gifts the other party had given him.
What else could it be...it couldn't be an unfinished trellis.
But the trellis is so big that it is impossible to hide it in the palm of your hand.
A rose?
No, he won't be able to restrain himself from hitting people.
Engagement ring?
Chances are, this is precious enough and meaningful enough.
Bai Yu was still thinking before he finished his thoughts when he felt something cold stuffed into the palm of his hand.
It is about five centimeters square, boxy, and feels metallic.
"What is this?"
Bai Yu picked it up and took a look. There were a series of numbers and two very small buttons on it.
"It's the controller for this."
Chu Zehuai pointed to the monitor around his neck.
This short sentence left Bai Yu stunned.
Controller.....is that the kind of controller he was thinking of?
"The two data points on the top are the pulse and contamination value. The two buttons on the bottom are S-class inhibitor and anesthetic. I have one of these things, and the person in charge of monitoring at the Bureau of Investigation also has one. Now I'm giving mine to you."
Chu Zehuai looked at his partner's stunned expression and smiled.
"Isn't it... too precious?"
Bai Yu blinked and felt the thing in his hand suddenly become as heavy as a thousand pounds.
With this, it means that he can monitor the opponent's data at any time, and can also activate the S-level inhibitors or high-concentration anesthetics stored in the monitor at will.
"It's a gift for you, just accept it."
Chu Zehuai kissed Bai Yu's cheek. Seeing that he was about to say something, he changed the subject for fear that he would continue to refuse.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. What are you doing in the study? Why aren't you asleep yet so late?"
Chu Zehuai was clearly stubborn and refused to give it back, so Bai Yu had no choice but to put it in his pocket.
“I’m doing some small handicrafts, but I ran into some minor troubles.”
He had been injured while on a mission before, and a few hard vines fell off, so he planned to use them to make an identical small clamp.
But he didn't expect that the structure inside the small clip was quite complicated. He spent several hours just grinding the hard vine into that shape and couldn't even install the spring.
"Doing handicrafts? You can come to me. I'm good at this. Are you doing this?"
Chu Zehuai took a look at the things on the desk and immediately understood that Bai Yu wanted to replicate a few clips.
But this clip...the more I look at it, the more familiar it looks.
He thought about it carefully, but couldn't figure out where he had seen this clip.
His identities as an ace investigator and East China regional executive allow him to see many things that ordinary people cannot see, but precisely because there are too many of them, most of them are not very useful and are forgotten by the brain.
But this is not important. He just needs to know that Bai Yu wants to replicate this kind of clip.
"Yes, but I can never get the spring to fit."
Bai Yu nodded, looking at the desk with a conflicted look in his eyes.
This thing is too difficult to install.
"Do you want me to help you take a look?"
Chu Zehuai asked. Although he hadn't received an answer yet, he had already pulled out a chair and sat down as soon as he asked the question.
"I think you should go and rest. You just gave me this and now you're helping me. You must be very tired."
"It's okay, just think of it as another small gift from me to you. I want to surpass him not only in quality, but also in quantity."
Chu Zehuai had already picked up the little gadget on the table, took a look at the structure of the original clip, picked up the spring next to it, and installed it on it in two or three steps.
Bai Yu: ...
So, why is it that boyfriends are obsessed with comparing themselves to their past selves?
"That's how it should be."
Chu Zehuai tried to clamp it and raised his eyebrows slightly: "This spring is not strong enough."
It feels like I can't hold onto anything.
"I specifically chose a lighter spring when I bought it. If you want a heavier one, you can change to a stronger spring."
Bai Yu said, while handing over the small bell and thin iron chain on the desk.
"These two are hanging under the clamps."
"It's done, do you want to try it?"
"Okay, it's evening now, can you try it with me?"
Bai Yu's eyes flickered, and his gaze towards the other person gradually deepened.
Chu Zehuai, who had no idea what was about to happen, nodded:
"Of course, I will definitely try it with you until you are satisfied."
