[Xiao Yi's favorability towards Qi Yan +10, current favorability: 15]
After breakfast, in Qi Yan's silence, Xiao Yi thanked him again and left.
He contacted the apartment manager by phone, and the manager took a spare magnetic card to open Xiao Yi's door and gave him a magnetic card.
Without having to change the door lock, Xiao Yi returned home and took a comfortable bath to wash off the remaining smell of alcohol. Leaning on the sofa, looking at the two bags of food on the coffee table, Xiao Yi didn't know what to feel.
That Aunt Li was a third party. She was already a third party when his parents were not divorced yet...
But to some extent, she was not a third party. Because her father fell in love with her, and she chose to refuse and escape when she knew that he had a family, and even ran away abroad, hoping that her father would not find her.
She retained the pride and self-esteem of a woman.
The problem was still with her father. But Xiao Yi did not want to admit it.
When facing him, the woman was always very panicked, and everything was for her own purpose. Although the fault was not her, she still tried to make up for herself with a guilty mentality...
Xiao Yi could not hate her, nor could he love her.
The fruits were all her favorite ones. This woman was very smart. She never used her father's money to buy things for herself, but her own savings.
What on earth did such a good woman do to him?
Staring at the bag of fruit, Xiao Yi thought for a moment, stood up suddenly, picked up the fruit and walked out.
There was a knock on the door, Qi Yan put down the vacuum cleaner in his hand, walked over to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, he found that Xiao Yi, who had just left less than three hours ago, came back with a smile on his face.
Rolling his eyes, Qi Yan said in a deep voice: "What are you doing?"
"Fruits." Xiao Yi picked up the fruit and shook it: "Let's eat it together, as a thank you for helping my aunt last night."
Qi Yan's face looked better, after all, after buying snacks, he didn't have any extra living expenses to consume fruit!
"Oh, of course. For taking me in last night, I'll treat you to dinner another day." Xiao Yi added.
- It would be even better if there was a free meal!
A hint of surprise flashed across Qi Yan's eyes, but his expression remained normal: "Well, then come in."
The room was still clean and tidy. Although it was not big and full, it was well organized, giving off a special feeling of a warm little nest. Xiao Yi put the fruit on the bar, and Qi Yan walked around the bar and went inside to start washing the fruit.
The small apartment was too small, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The kitchen was open, with no dining table, only a bar. There were four high chairs on both sides of the bar, which served as a dining table.
Xiao Yi sat in the same position he had sat this morning, watching Qi Yan excitedly washing the fruit, with a hint of a smile flashing across his eyes.
"Do you need my help?"
"No."
He replied without turning his head. The kitchen was small to begin with. If a man over 1.8 meters tall like him came in, there wouldn't be much space left!
Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders and didn't care. Instead, he looked at the small apartment carefully.
When he first came to rent a house, the manager took him to see this apartment. Because it was too small, he decided to group up for another apartment. In fact, it seems that such a small apartment is not bad now.
"Qi Yan, how much is the monthly rent for this apartment?"
"About two or three thousand." Qi Yan replied, "My mother has paid the rent. I don't have to worry about it."
"Oh..." Xiao Yi seemed to be thinking about something. Two or three thousand seemed to be a lot. After
washing the fruit, the two looked at each other, and each of them took an apple and chewed it dry.
Qi Yan is a homebody, and silence is commonplace for him. But Xiao Yi doesn't think so.
Trying to find a topic, but not knowing what to say, Xiao Yi awkwardly glanced around and found a picture album in a corner of the bar. The three characters "Dongfang Ji" on the cover made him raise his eyebrows.
"Dongfang Ji?"
Qi Yan followed his line of sight and looked over: "Yeah, a snapped-up picture album."
"That game is very famous." Xiao Yi nodded: "Do you mind if I take a look?"
Qi Yan nodded: "Whatever."
Xiao Yi took the picture album and flipped through it page by page, and found that many of them were official fan art, as well as some short stories and the like. Putting the picture book aside, Xiao Yi looked at Qi Yan and smiled slightly: "I have a friend who participated in the production of this game. He always told me, but I didn't care yet."
Qi Yan paused while eating an apple, his eyes widened: "Can your friend get the public beta gift code?!"
Xiao Yi was frightened by his suddenly excited look, nodded, and shook his head: "I don't know..."
"Then ask!" Qi Yan was really super excited: "You don't have to treat me to dinner! Just ask for the gift code!" The
public beta gift code is not available to everyone, only those who have played the internal test can have it. I heard that the gift package is good, but Qi Yan didn't play the internal test, and he was ready to save money to buy the gift code at a high price.
Xiao Yi suddenly became interested in the game that could make his silly neighbor so excited.
He nodded, took out his phone, and called Liang Ci under Qi Yan's expectant gaze.
"Liang Ci?" After the call was connected, Xiao Yi didn't waste any more words: "Last time you said you participated in the production of the game, can you get... uh... the public beta gift code?"
"Oh, our Young Master Xiao wants to play?" Liang Ci's nonchalant voice came from the other end: "No problem, how many do you want?"
Qi Yan's mouth was already grinning from ear to ear, looking at Xiao Yi with eyes full of expectation.
Xiao Yi looked at his excited look and felt better: "Two."
"Only two?" Liang Ci shouted: "At least you have my 'back door', it's okay to ask for more!"
"One number can only be redeemed for one. I want two because there are two people who want to play here."
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he saw Qi Yan looking around blankly, as if looking for the 'second person'.
With a chuckle, Xiao Yi quickly said to Liang Ci: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. Just send the gift code to my phone later."
Liang Ci was still yelling, and Xiao Yi hung up the phone.
Qi Yan looked at him blankly: "Who else wants to play?"
Xiao Yi pointed at himself: "Me."
"Oh..." Qi Yan responded, and then got excited: "Is there a gift code?!"
"Yes, he can get it."
"Great!" Qi Yan excitedly took a bite of the apple, and said vaguely: "We can be in the same zone. I'm very good at playing games, and I can take you."
Xiao Yi's eyes were crooked, and he smiled happily: "Yes, okay."
[Xiao Yi's favorability towards Qi Yan +10, current favorability: 25]
It was like an agreement, like a seed buried in the heart, gradually growing into a towering tree.
Since then, Qi Yan and Xiao Yi have never met again. Qi Yan still stayed at home, and Xiao Yi continued to go out early and come back late.
On the night of the public beta, the official download homepage would have been paralyzed if the technical guy hadn't been rescuing it all the time. But for a geek like Qi Yan who had been waiting for a long time, he entered very smoothly.
He chose the first server in zone A, and the character name was [Dian Sankou]. He pinched a face of a weak scholar, and then chose the profession of... nanny.
Qi Yan didn't know at the moment that he would become the famous bloodless nanny in the first server - Dian San Da Mo.
