Chapter 93
Xu Qingzhou didn't expect that Chi Jun would be so interested in taking photo booth pictures. He was very enthusiastic from beginning to end, while Xu Qingzhou, who had been there before, was a little embarrassed and was somewhat awkward when posing and making expressions.
Ten minutes later, the photo booth pictures were taken.
Chi Jun took out his phone and scanned the code to pay again.
Xu Qingzhou was surprised.
Do we need to film so many?
Chi Jun admired the photo booth pictures he had just received, and said without looking up:
"You're so good-looking, what's wrong with taking more pictures of you?"
Xu Qingzhou: "..."
Ten minutes later, Chi Jun left, finally satisfied, clutching a stack of photo booth pictures.
He picked one out and handed it to Xu Qingzhou.
"your."
Xu Qingzhou took the photo, somewhat bewildered.
Is there only one?
"Um."
Seeing the little girl's confusion and speechlessness, Chi Jun relented: "Alright, here's another one."
After saying that, she looked down and carefully selected the photos, saying, "I'm afraid that if I give you too many, you'll be too busy admiring my beauty and when you enter the exam room, all you'll have on your mind will be my looks, not any knowledge."
Xu Qingzhou: "..."
*
When Xu Qingzhou got home that evening, he took a shower first.
When I returned, Chi Jun was sitting cross-legged on the bed, chatting on his phone.
The keyboard clicked away, and when Xu Qingzhou entered, Chi Jun looked up and said:
"Tomorrow is Wang Shuai's birthday, and we plan to go to the hospital to spend some time with him."
After a moment of silence, he added, "I'll be back as soon as possible and won't stay there for too long."
Xu Qingzhou paused, drying her hair, and then laughed.
It's okay, Brother Wang Shuai will definitely be happy to see you. It's good to play a little longer.
Chi Jun looked up at her, his Adam's apple bobbing, then he lowered his eyes and said nothing more.
Xu Qingzhou went to get the hair dryer, not noticing his expression.
After plugging it in, I asked again:
How is Wang Shuai doing now?
Chi Jun glanced at the words on the paper.
"It's going well, the recovery is going very quickly."
That expert is really amazing!
Chi Jun didn't look up, staring at his phone, and gave a faint "hmm".
[Then please tell Wang Shuai for me tomorrow that I'll go see him with you after the college entrance exam.]
Chi Jun remained silent.
Xu Qingzhou thought he hadn't noticed, so he shook his shoulder again and handed the paper to him again.
Chi Jun finally looked up at her.
His lips were pursed and then lifted slightly upwards.
"good."
Xu Qingzhou dried his hair, sat down at his small desk, and casually picked out a set of math and English test papers to practice.
Chi Jun sat on the bed and continued chatting in the group.
It was supposed to be a chat, but it was mainly Wang Shuai, Li Rui, and their group who were talking, while Chi Jun was watching.
Wang Shuai first posted a picture of a goose leg in the group chat.
[Thanks for the food, Junye! Thank you!]
Li Rui: [Holy crap? Xu Jun sneaked over to see you? And he didn't even call me, his brother?]
Wang Shuai: [No, Junye saw my mom during the day and bought me roast goose / grinning / I didn't finish it, so I'm having it as a midnight snack]
Dog Bro: [Waaaaaah, does being sick really earn me this kind of treatment from Master Jun? I want to experience that too...]
No sooner had he spoken than Chi Jun, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
He directly tagged Dog Bro and cursed:
Are you out of your mind?
The guy being insulted was completely oblivious, thinking it was just his buddies joking around, and blurted out:
[Yeah, I'm out of my mind. Hurry up and buy me roast goose! /evil laugh/evil laugh/]
Chi Jun stared at his friend's words, who didn't seem to care about his loss of composure and was still being sly. Suddenly, he felt as if there was a fire burning inside him, raging and wanting to explode, but he couldn't find an outlet for it no matter what.
He took a deep breath and looked out the window.
After a long while, he turned back and typed out two words.
【Feel sorry】
He then tossed his phone aside and said nothing more.
*
That night, Xu Qingzhou noticed that Chi Jun kept staring at her.
He would look at it while writing the exam, while tidying up his things, and even after going to the bathroom, he would still look at it when he came back.
Xu Qingzhou finally couldn't hold back any longer:
Why do you keep looking at me?
Chi Jun grabbed a cushion and hugged it to his chest.
"Who told you to be so good-looking?"
Xu Qingzhou: "..."
She shyly reached out and covered his eyes.
Chi Jun laughed and leaned back, but then took her hand and kissed it slowly and gently.
His eyes remained fixed on her throughout the entire process.
Xu Qingzhou felt as if there were hooks hidden in those eyes, making her heart tremble and even her whole body feel warm.
She heard Chi Jun say in a very serious and gentle tone:
"My Zhouzhou is the most beautiful in the world."
Xu Qingzhou couldn't help but blush.
You're exaggerating.
"It's no exaggeration, you are the most beautiful."
There are too many beautiful people out there; there's always someone more beautiful than you.
“What does that have to do with me?” Chi Jun held her hand and smiled at her. “Anyway, in my eyes, Zhouzhou is the prettiest.”
[Maybe you like me, that's why you think I'm good-looking]
Maybe in other people's eyes, I'm a bit ugly, or even look like a pig's head.
"Then this person's eyeballs should be gouged out, skewered, and roasted!"
Xu Qingzhou was amused by his unreasonable and domineering manner.
She smiled and pushed Chi Jun away, preparing to turn off the lights and go to sleep.
Just as she reached out her hand, Chi Jun wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled it back into her arms.
Xu Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Chi Jun hugging her from behind, his head buried in her back, neither making a sound nor moving.
She reached out and gently pushed his head.
Chi Juncai raised his head, smiled and squinted at her.
Xu Qingzhou, however, did not laugh.
She turned to ask Chi Jun.
【What’s wrong with you? 】
Chi Jun: "It's nothing."
Something's wrong with you.
Chi Jun looked at her, as if his hidden thoughts had finally been discovered and he no longer needed to pretend. The smile in his eyes gradually faded.
He leaned back against the wall, and after a long while, said in a solemn tone:
"I've been feeling a bit anxious about the future lately."
Xu Qingzhou: [What exactly are you anxious about?]
"I'm worried that once you get to college, you'll meet all sorts of outstanding guys with great qualities, and then you won't be interested in me anymore."
Xu Qingzhou: "..."
"After all, by your human standards, I don't even have a diploma. No, to be specific, I don't even have a kindergarten diploma, so how can I compare to other men?"
When he mentioned even his kindergarten diploma, Xu Qingzhou was both amused and exasperated.
She sighed and wrote carefully on the paper:
[Chi Jun, just as other people's beauty is irrelevant to you, other people's excellence is also irrelevant to me.]
What I like isn't excellence, it's that fox named Chi Jun, it's you.
After saying that, she bent down and gently hugged him.
Chi Jun didn't move.
He greedily inhaled her pleasant fragrance, and after a long while, he slowly raised his hands and wrapped them around her waist.
My hands unconsciously tightened little by little.
Chi Jun thought, if only time could stand still, and I could stay here forever.
He leaned on the little girl's soft shoulder and closed his eyes.
After a long while, it sounded like a sigh, or perhaps it was something that flowed naturally from the bottom of his heart.
Chi Jun's voice echoed in the quiet summer night.
"Zhouzhou, I love you so much."
*
That night, at three in the morning, Chi Jun went to the hospital as usual.
He didn't use teleportation; instead, he walked there step by step.
The silence of the night can calm his thoughts, and the long journey will give him the illusion that there is still a long time to go.
He liked this illusion.
As usual, when he arrived at the hospital entrance, not far away, under the dim yellow light, Chi Jun saw a familiar figure.
As if sensing something, the person turned around and stood up from the flower bed.
"You did come after all."
Xuanli sighed and walked closer to him.
Chi Jun: "What are you doing here?"
"I'm waiting for you, afraid you'll continue to do foolish things."
Chi Jun knew that Xuan Li was referring to the fact that he continuously expended his spiritual power to help Wang Shuai remove demonic energy.
His voice carried a resolute coldness.
"You can't stop me."
“Yes,” Xuanli sighed, “but I can help you.”
Chi Jun was stunned.
Xuanli raised her hand and patted his shoulder.
"Go back now, leave your friend to me tonight."
Chi Jun remained unmoved: "This is my duty."
Xuanli: "Your responsibilities need to be fulfilled in more important places. I think you must still hope to come back alive and rekindle your romance with your friends and your girlfriend, right?"
Chi Jun frowned slightly but remained silent.
“Even though the future is unpredictable,” Xuanli softened her voice, “don’t you want to go back now? Wouldn’t it be nice to spend a little more time with Qingzhou?”
Chi Jun remained silent.
Xuanli gently patted his arm.
"Go ahead, leave this to me."
"Although my spiritual power is not as strong as yours, believe me, I will be more effective for your friend than you are currently being suppressed by a spiritual treasure."
After saying that, Xuanli turned around.
The air suddenly surged, and the human figure vanished before their eyes.
Chi Jun stared at the empty space in front of him.
"Can you find him?"
A woman's soft laughter drifted through the air.
"Don't underestimate me."
*
As Xuan Li said, her methods for removing demonic energy were indeed cleaner and more efficient.
The next day, Chi Jun and Li Rui went to the hospital ward. As soon as they arrived at the door, they found that Wang Shuai looked radiant and even had a rosy glow on his face.
"Hey Bro~"
Wang Shuai was sitting cross-legged on the bed playing video games. When he saw his friends arrive, he waved and casually put the game console on the cabinet next to him: "I missed you guys so much!"
He got out of bed, put on his slippers, and exaggeratedly hugged Li Rui and the others one by one.
He walked up to Chi Jun, patted him on the back, and said solemnly and seriously:
"Brother, thank you for the roast goose."
Chi Jun couldn't help but chuckle.
He looked at Wang Shuai, who was clearly free of any black energy. It seemed that Xuan Li had put in a lot of effort during the exorcism this morning to prevent him from consuming any more spiritual energy.
Li Rui and the others could clearly see that Wang Shuai was in good spirits, and while they breathed a sigh of relief, their tone became even more unrestrained.
"Wang Shuai, you look perfectly healthy and energetic. You're not already discharged from the hospital, but you're still pretending to be sick to scam roast goose, are you?"
"Haha, I think so too!"
It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned, because as soon as it was, Wang Shuai got so angry that he slapped his thigh.
“Who says otherwise! Take this discharge, for example. I pleaded with the doctor for a whole day and night, but he just wouldn’t agree, saying that I needed to be observed for another three or four days.”
"I said, what's the point of observing this? I had my blood drawn this morning, and wow, all the indicators are perfectly normal."
“If you ask me,” Wang Shuai stroked his beard smugly, “the ancient saying that those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune is quite true. I think I could easily run a marathon now, hehe!”
Li Rui was so relaxed that he sat on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed, peeling and eating an orange. Upon hearing this, he said:
"You'd better take it easy and bear with it for a few more days. Then we'll carry you out of the hospital in a grand sedan chair."
"A sedan chair carried by eight men?" Wang Shuai clutched his chest in horror: "Are you picking me up from the hospital?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Wang Shuai's mother returned at this time, and she was happy to see a group of children coming to play.
“Shuai Shuai’s dad isn’t here today. But his younger brother is taking the college entrance exam tomorrow, so someone has to be with him,” she said as she placed the packaged fish and meat onto the stacked stools. “I won’t bother you at noon today. You can all have fun.”
"Auntie, aren't you eating with us?"
“Hey,” Wang Shuai’s mother waved her hand, “How can you all have fun with me here? I’ll try my best to be a good elder who doesn’t spoil the fun.”
"Wow, Wang Shuai, what good deeds did you do in your past life to have such an enlightened mother?"
"I wish my parents were like this, waaaaaah..."
"Oh my god, Auntie, you actually bought us barbecue and fried chicken?"
Wang Shuai's mother smiled.
"I know you young people like it, so of course I'll buy it. But Shuai Shuai should eat less, okay? You guys keep an eye on him, he's got a sweet tooth."
"Definitely! Definitely!"
"Don't worry, Auntie, if he dares to eat more, we'll be the first to object!"
Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, everyone helped pack up the food. Wang Shuai's mother said goodbye, picked up her bag, and left first.
The moment the ward door closed, it instantly transformed into a mountain crawling with monkeys, a scene of utter chaos.
Fortunately, Li Rui was the only patient in the ward, so it wouldn't affect anyone else.
Everyone played games, cards, and gossiped, with the TV on and background noise playing the whole time. It was lively, fun, and enjoyable.
"Xu Jun."
"Xu Jun?"
Li Rui gave Chi Jun a push:
"What the hell are you spacing out for? Are you worried about Qingzhou being home alone?"
Chi Jun smiled.
"no."
"Don't worry," Wang Shuai said, stuffing a large fried chicken leg into his mouth when no one was looking, his voice muffled as he said, "Your sister will definitely get into a good university. My brother told me that your sister's academic performance is amazing!"
Li Rui keenly observed his subtle movements.
"Hey, hey, hey, you said one piece of fried chicken would be enough!" she said, reaching out to take it from Wang Shuai's mouth. "How are we supposed to explain this to Auntie?"
"Damn it, Li Rui, are you even human? I almost swallowed that chicken leg, give it back to me!"
Amidst the chaotic sounds of laughter, Chi Jun's phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID, got up, and went outside to answer the phone.
As Dog Brother behind him went to the bedside to bring the cake over, he reminded him:
"Hurry up, Wang Shuai can't wait to cut the cake."
Chi Jun made an OK sign, took his phone, and walked into the corridor.
The call was from a work colleague. He was calling to ask if he could take photos of a batch of clothing on the 10th, in a neighboring city.
Chi Jun refused.
"The 10th isn't enough? Your girlfriend will have already finished her college entrance exams by then, right?"
Chi Jun lowered his head and remained silent for a few seconds.
"Brother Chen, I probably won't be filming anymore."
The person on the other end paused for a moment.
"Wait, what happened? Did you retire from the entertainment industry?"
Chi Jun couldn't help but tighten his grip on his phone.
"Just consider it as me retiring from the entertainment industry."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a chorus of exclamations from girls behind him.
Chi Jun turned his head and saw the nurses in the nurses' station in the middle of the corridor, frantically picking up documents and files blown by the wind. Accompanied by their questioning voices, a thick, dense black cloud, like a locust swarm, roared towards room 4507…
