"Junjun, come out for dinner."
Chi Lin was standing in front of the mirror in a daze when a middle-aged woman's voice came from outside the room.
Junjun
Chi Lin pushed open the wooden door of the bedroom and looked out. A middle-aged couple was sitting at the dining table, sweeping the table and eating. The clock on the wall showed 12:05.
It's dark outside the window, so it's definitely not 12 noon.
They were having dinner late at night and there was a table full of delicious dishes. The two people were eating with their backs to her in the dim room, making deafening noises, which made the weird feeling even worse.
Chi Lin hesitated whether he should leave the room directly and go to Changjun Garden to find Lou Mi, or not alert the enemy and stay to calmly investigate the situation.
The woman who had just called out for help sniffed her nose after eating some hot food, and found that the person she had called out for had not arrived yet. She turned around and saw Chi Lin with half of his head sticking out from the crack in the door.
"Junjun, come here." The woman knocked on the plate with her chopsticks, "The food is cold!"
The woman spoke with a strong local accent, her face was bare without any makeup, her poorly maintained, dry and slightly frizzy hair was tied casually behind her head, and her hairline was almost moving to the top of her head.
Chi Lin walked out of the room and sat on the empty chair between the couple.
The rice had been served for her. The stainless steel bowl was comparable in size to Lou Mi's large soup bowl.
Chi Lin glanced at the three dishes on the table: spicy stir-fried cabbage shreds, spicy stir-fried potato shreds, and spicy stir-fried twice-cooked pork.
She picked up her chopsticks and ate quietly, integrating into her current role very low-key, while secretly observing the two people who were eating at the same table with her.
The couple were concentrating on the food in their bowls, slurping it up from time to time due to the spiciness.
These two people should be Junjun's parents. They are about fifty years old, a bit fat, and their skin is unnaturally pale.
Based on Chi Lin's observations of this era, it can be inferred that the two of them should be ordinary factory workers.
Because I work indoors all year round, never see the sun and don't get much exercise, I get off work too late and overeat after returning home, which is why I look like I do now.
After the woman quickly finished a large bowl of rice, she leaned back in her chair, burped loudly, and took out a toothpick to pick her teeth.
While picking her teeth, she turned to look at Chi Lin and suddenly grabbed her hair:
"You messed up my beautiful hair like this."
It really hurts to pull it.
Chi Lin did not expect the other party's rudeness, and it was not easy for him to pry his hands apart directly.
She didn't know how Junjun usually got along with the couple, and she didn't want to reveal her identity for the time being, so she could only step back to express her protest.
The woman didn't care and urged her to eat quickly.
Chi Lin really had no appetite, so he just took two bites and said he was done.
"Is that all you're eating?" The man put down his chopsticks and questioned Chi Lin with a glare.
Chi Lin didn't say anything and quickly finished half a bowl of rice. The couple was satisfied and started to clean up the dishes.
After putting the dishes in the kitchen, the woman went to wash the dishes while the man ran to the balcony to smoke.
Hearing the man yawn loudly, Chi Lin knew that this was a good time for her to leave.
She told the woman, "I'm going to bed."
The woman said "Oh" without turning back. Chi Lin returned to the room, locked the door, and looked for his cell phone.
She knows that to survive in this era, a smartphone is an indispensable key.
Whether it's calling a taxi or paying, you can't do without your mobile phone.
But she searched the room twice, from the table to the bed, and searched everywhere she could, but there was no trace of the phone.
Chi Lin suffocated: Does this kid not have a cell phone
How is that possible? In this day and age, you can’t even leave the house without a mobile phone.
Finally, he found two hundred yuan in a coat in the closet, and Chi Lin had to use it first.
Having understood since childhood that "taking without asking is stealing", Chi Lin put the money in his pocket while apologizing to Junjun and promised to return it double.
Chi Lin gently opened the window, and the cold wind immediately rushed in, making her shiver all over.
This place is completely different from Changjun Garden, which is equipped with a community constant temperature system. It is cold and dark here, with dry branches and open trash cans everywhere.
One tall building is next to another, forming a huge community.
The dotted lights made this place look like a modern civilization built with matchboxes. It was narrow and cramped, and the cold air was filled with strange smells. From time to time, the roar of motorcycles racing could be heard coming from the road.
Chi Lin glanced down at the window. It was very high, at least eight stories high.
She had practiced martial arts since she was a child and was very good at martial arts, but if she jumped directly from this height, she would definitely break her legs.
But for some reason, two floors below, every window of every house was covered with an iron cage.
With the help of the iron cage, Chi Lin successfully climbed to the ground.
Chi Lin walked out wearing a coat that was not warm at all, knowing that he should first figure out where he was.
There was no mobile phone or computer in the bedroom, let alone Mr. System. Chi Lin decided to try his luck.
She was ready to negotiate with the community security, and found a lot of excuses for going out late at night. But when she got to the community gate, she found that there was no security guard at all...
Although she didn’t know why, she was no longer “Chi Lin” but Jun Jun.
When Chi Lin saw the original owner's favorite Nori doll, as well as her mole and birthmark, placed in Junjun's bedroom, he had a guess in his mind.
A few months ago, when she entered the original owner's body, the original owner's soul entered into Junjun's body.
And now, Chi Lin has become Junjun, what about the original owner
Not knowing what the original owner’s physical condition was, she had to go back and find out.
Chi Lin rushed along the main road for more than half an hour at midnight. After kicking down several malicious hooligans, he was lucky enough to see the subway sign in the distance.
The subway station had stopped operating, so she walked to the door to look for the platform name and map, and also found an AI at work.
As soon as Chi Lin approached Ai, Ai spoke up and asked her if there was anything she could do to help. The voice sounded quite familiar.
Great, it's sir! Chi Lin almost burst into tears.
Peng Ziyuan got up early in the morning and knocked on Chi Lin's bedroom door with a cup of hot water.
I knocked gently a few times, but no one answered. Maybe Chi Lin wasn't awake yet.
Peng Ziyuan was a little anxious. She glanced at the key in the keyhole and wondered whether she should drive in directly.
In the past, Chi Lin never put the key in the keyhole. She would lock the door after entering the house and was unwilling to talk to anyone in the house.
She has become much more cheerful recently. She doesn't even hide her keys. Sometimes she even leaves the door open. Peng Ziyuan can chat with her daughter whenever she comes.
Perhaps it's because the relationship between mother and daughter has eased a lot recently, which has made Peng Ziyuan more carefree.
In the past, she would never have thought of opening the door and going in directly, unless she wanted to start a new round of family war.
"Auntie." Lou Mi came over from the kitchen, also holding a thermos cup in her hand, "Chi Lin probably hasn't woken up yet."
It's still ten minutes to six o'clock, and Lou Mi is already awake.
"Mi Mi, you must be thinking about Xiao Lin, so you got up so early."
Lou Mi sighed silently: "I didn't sleep last night."
"Hey... I'm all worried about Xiaolin. I don't know how she is doing now." Peng Ziyuan was so anxious that she had a headache. "What happened?"
Lou Mi told Peng Ziyuan about Chi Lin's sudden fever when he went to watch the game yesterday. Peng Ziyuan became even more worried:
"Burning all night?"
"After I came back, I fed her some medicine. Her fever subsided in the second half of the night and she slept soundly. I think she'll sleep until noon."
Hearing this, Peng Ziyuan's heart felt a little relieved.
Unexpectedly, Lou Mi, who seemed careless and didn't care about anything on weekdays, could take such good care of Xiao Lin. Peng Ziyuan couldn't help but imagine their loving married life...
"Are we going back to school this afternoon?" Lou Mi asked Peng Ziyuan.
"That's true, but going back to school isn't that important. It's just to listen to the teacher's nagging." Peng Ziyuan, who has been through it, knows all too well about school. "It still depends on Xiaolin's condition. If she's still not feeling well, she shouldn't go back to school this afternoon. I'll call their class teacher."
"I think so." Lou Mi said, "I don't know why I suddenly got a fever. I should stay at home and wait until the fever is completely gone before going to school."
While the two were talking, Lou Mi's phone kept vibrating.
Peng Ziyuan: "Mi Mi, you don't want to answer it?"
"I don't know where these harassing calls came from. They have been coming since last night. I have blocked several of them, but they still keep calling from different numbers."
Lou Mi took it out from his pajamas pocket and took a look. It was still an unfamiliar number.
Her cell phone number had been leaked several times, and every time she accidentally answered the phone, she heard either sexual harassment or insults. From then on, she never answered calls from unfamiliar numbers again.
She doesn't even read her text messages, and everyone who knows her will contact her via WeChat. Text messages have become a hotbed of harassment and spam.
It looks like this number is going to die too.
Lou Mi was unhappy. The person who sold her phone number was really annoying. Didn’t he know that changing phone numbers is very troublesome
After several days of competition, today is a rest day and I don’t have to go to the club.
Lou Mi told Peng Ziyuan to go to work without worry, and she would watch over Chi Lin at home. She would tell her the first time anything happened when Chi Lin woke up.
Peng Ziyuan thanked Lou Mi, who said with a disdainful “tsk”:
"Why thank you? We are all family."
After Lou Lixing got up, he came over to ask about Chi Lin's condition. Chi Lin still hadn't woken up. Then he and Peng Ziyuan both went out to work.
By noon, Chi Lin still hadn't gone out. Lou Mi felt something was wrong as he had slept too long.
"Chi Lin?" Lou Mi knocked on her door. "Are you awake? What's wrong?"
No one answered, but she heard movement inside the house.
Lou Mi: "Baby, you must be hungry after sleeping for so long, come out and eat something?"
The footsteps slowly approached the door, it seemed that Chi Lin was really awake.
Click, the door opened a crack, and Lou Mi saw one of Chi Lin's eyes showing, looking at him.
"What are you doing?" Lou Mi was amused by her vigilant look. "I didn't sneak in while you were sleeping to do anything. You asked me to come out last night, so I came out. I really didn't go in again."
Chi Lin still stared at her silently, and asked after a while:
"Where's my mother?"
"Your mother..." He had always called Peng Ziyuan "Mother", but suddenly changed the title and Lou Mi took it over. It sounded like an insult. "What time is it? Your mother must have gone to work."
Chi Lin looked at the ground, as if thinking about something.
"What do you want to eat for lunch?" Lou Mi didn't even push the door open, and continued to ask patiently, "I'm not going to the club today, I'll stay at home with you. Get ready and come out so I can take your temperature. You don't know how worried I was about you when you suddenly fell ill yesterday. You..."
As Lou Mi was talking, Chi Lin slammed the door.
Lou Mi: “?”
Is Chi Lin having a tantrum
Lou Mi stood at the door, puzzled.
No way, Lou Mi immediately reflected. She had met Chi Lin yesterday after the competition. They had no contact before that, so there was no chance for her to provoke her.
What's more, is Chi Lin the kind of person who gets angry easily
Based on Lou Mi's understanding of her, Chi Lin was the only one who was throwing a tantrum and forcefully kissing others, her emotions were always very stable.
But every emotionally stable person is trying to suppress himself deep down in his heart, and Lou Mi understands this feeling.
This is probably even more true for Chi Lin.
Lou Mi understood her tolerant character, so it was understandable that she had some emotional fluctuations occasionally.
Lou Mi went to the kitchen and ordered four dishes and a soup. After Mr. System had prepared all the food, he brought it to the dining table and then went to call Chi Lin.
"I've prepared the meal, come out and eat something, ok?"
I thought Chi Lin would linger for a while, but unexpectedly the door opened and Chi Lin walked out.
It can be seen that she was sick last night, otherwise her usually meticulous bun-haired face would not have slept like this, like a ball of wool that had been scratched by a cat.
Chi Lin was wearing a plaid pajamas that he got from nowhere, and he had no idea that the buttons were buttoned incorrectly.
Maybe he slept too long, Chi Lin's eyes were straight and a little dazed. He looked around the room and Lou Mi blankly.
Although her eyes were a little gloomy, Lou Mi still thought she was very cute.
"Look at you, you're so hungry." Lou Mi held her hand and led her to the dining table, "Come and eat something quickly."
Chi Lin was pulled by her for two steps, and suddenly he seemed to realize something and shook her hand away.
Lou Mi: "What's wrong?"
Chi Lin stared at her: "Don't touch me."
Lou Mi: “…”
It seems that he is really angry.
Lou Mi stood there in a daze, feeling a little panicked.
My ancestors, what did I do wrong and when did I do it
She immediately searched every corner of her memory, but could not remember at what point she had provoked Chi Lin.
When she took her classmates to the box to watch the game, weren't they sending nice messages on WeChat
Chi Lin seemed very excited in WeChat and didn't look angry at all.
When they met again later, Chi Lin already had a slight fever.
Isn't it still warm and beautiful
When the car arrived home, Chi Lin was sitting in the car and had no strength to move. It was Lou Mi who took great pains to carry her out and carried her back to bed.
I helped her take medicine and drink water all night long, leaving no room for mistakes.
Wait…
She seemed to remember.
When Chi Lin brought his classmates to the box, he sent her a WeChat message, and she replied with just one word.
Did Chi Lin think she was too cold and perfunctory
Lou Mi asked Chi Lin about this. Chi Lin sat down at the table, looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating without responding to Lou Mi.
It seems to be true.
Lou Mi sat opposite her and explained in a low voice:
"Actually, I'm not cold. You know whether I am cold or not. I was very happy when you came to watch my game. Really. But, I'm a bit reserved. I don't know what's wrong with me. When I'm happy, I don't like to express it. I think it's a bit childish to be so noisy. If it's really because of this, I apologize to you."
Chi Lin looked at her silently for a while, then tilted his mouth and said:
"You know that..."
Seeing that she was finally willing to talk to him, Lou Mi smiled at her cheerfully:
"Well, don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Chi Lin ignored her and ate, picking up the beef. In a blink of an eye, she had eaten up the only meat dish on the table without touching a single bite of the vegetable.
"One more plate." Before Chi Lin had even finished swallowing the food in his mouth, he couldn't wait to say to Lou Mi, "No, two plates! Add more spicy food!"
Lou Mi: "...Okay, wait a moment. Eat slowly and don't choke."
Lou Mi had never seen Chi Lin eat so much and so fiercely.
On weekdays, she always eats vegetarian meals, a plate of vegetables is enough for her, and even if she eats meat, it is mostly chicken and fish.
Of course he would eat beef, but he had never eaten it so voraciously like this.
Have you not eaten since yesterday
With this calculation, it is very likely!
I remember that when Chi Lin came to watch her competition yesterday, he said that he was studying and came in a hurry, and it is very likely that he did not have time to eat.
Later, I fell ill and fell asleep directly when I got home, and slept until noon.
If she didn't have lunch yesterday, that means she hasn't eaten for 24 hours, so she must be starving.
Lou Mi felt distressed. Seeing how hard she was eating, he knew that her fever must have subsided.
Having an appetite is a good thing. Lou Mi saw her eating seriously and she was as cute as her usual mature appearance.
I really want to touch her furry head at this moment, it must feel very good.
Chi Lin was full. He leaned back in his chair, touching his stomach, and burped loudly and long.
Lou Mi: “…”
That’s great. After doing those intimate things, Chi Lin is gradually treating her as his own.
Who doesn’t burp or fart
Lou Mi still felt that Chi Lin in the past was too cold and too self-contained.
Chi Lin is planning to be himself in front of her in the future, and this way, their relationship will only go further.
The more Lou Mi thought about it, the happier he became, and his eyes were filled with deep love as he gazed at Chi Lin.
Chi Lin was a little scared by her look and said tentatively:
"Take the dishes and wash them."
"good!"
Lou Mi happily followed her orders and put the dishes into the dishwasher.
Chi Lin looked at Lou Mi's back as he worked, raised his eyebrows, and said to himself:
"Really?"
After Lou Mi finished setting up the dishwasher, he came back and saw Chi Lin packing his schoolbag.
"You're going out?"
Chi Lin didn't respond.
"You slept with your hair like this, why don't you comb it before going out?"
Chi Lin turned around and said, "Please help me comb my hair."
Lou Mi patted the chair in front of him and said, "Come, sit here."
Chi Lin sat down on the nearby massage chair, put his left leg on the armrest, and raised his chin:
"Come here."
Lou Mi obediently walked to the back of the massage chair, took a comb and slowly combed her hair.
Halfway through, Chi Lin suddenly opened her hand and glared at her:
"You hurt me."
Lou Mi: "Ah? Really? I haven't even started combing my hair yet."
"I said, you hurt me, didn't you hear me?"
"Oh... I was wrong, I was wrong." Lou Mi came up and touched her head, "Sister will blow it for you, it won't hurt anymore."
Chi Lin was struggling, and Lou Mi was very familiar with the reluctant look on his face.
So cute.
The hand that Lou Mi was touching her head unconsciously touched her chin.
Chi Lin: “?”
Lou Mi touched Chi Lin's small chin and couldn't help but lean over to kiss her.
Chi Lin opened his eyes, realized what was going to happen, and jumped up and bumped into Lou Mi's mouth.
Lou Mi was totally unprepared, and her delicate lips were hit by her hard head, hitting her teeth, and her lips started bleeding immediately.
Lou Mi touched it and saw a bright red spot on his fingertips.
Chi Lin stared at her furiously. She secretly said "something bad has happened" in her heart, and apologized pitifully:
"I'm sorry, Rin-chan, I..."
"roll!"
Chi Lin kicked over the chair at his feet, and the back of the chair hit Lou Mi's unprotected toes, causing her to almost fall down due to the pain.
Chi Lin rushed out the door with his schoolbag, leaving Lou Mi, who was sitting alone in the middle of the living room rubbing his feet with a confused look on his face.
