The winter is too cold, although the new house decided to use the lobby first, but Chen Qi didn't want to miss any things that should be done, the wooden door in the lobby, the cabinets in the room, pillows, big red happy characters, etc., everything you can think of He has to figure it out first, he wants Aze to have a memorable wedding.
Apart from the parties involved, Carlo was the happiest. He brought Ake to report to Chen Qi's house early every day. Thanks to the two of them, the preparations for the wedding were completed much faster.
Ali is trimming leather shoes beside him. The soles are made of wood, and the uppers are made of brown animal hide. After all, the orcs had no experience in making shoes, and the leather shoes made by Ali's craftsmanship were still awkward to wear and would rub their feet. It doesn't matter to Chen Qi, anyway, he only wears things for half a day, and then he will be able to wrap them in thick socks, but Ali is obviously very interested in this kind of leather shoes, and has been staying at Chen Qi's house for the past few days to compare with Chen Qihua The blueprints that came out were studied a little bit, not to mention, it really made him research something, the modified leather shoes all look good, and the shape is on par with the ones Chen Qi knows, as long as the comfort of the shoes Well done, Chen Qi believes that Ali can open the first shoe store in the world of orcs.
The wedding was set on the first day of the month three days later. There is no mention of choosing a date here. After all, there is no date yet. The reason why Chen Qi chose the first day of the month is because Chen Qi felt that this day was the beginning of the week, and it also symbolized that he and A Ze The beginning of a new life. The past few days have been clear and cloudless, with no snow or cloud, even though the sun is shining on his body, Chen Qi is in a good mood.
On the contrary, Ali’s behavior today is very strange. Let’s not mention the salt in the lunch dish, and it was burnt. This is an impossible mistake for Ali, who is about to become a chef. . Moreover, Ali would occasionally be in a trance, and sometimes would look at Chen Qi with a hesitant expression. Looking at Ali like this, Chen Qi felt a little thumping in his heart.
When Ali did not know how many times he turned his eyes to himself, Chen Qi finally couldn't help but said, "Ali, do you have anything to tell me?"
"Ah, no, it's all right." A Li stammered and shook his head in denial, and hurriedly turned his eyes away, not daring to look at Chen Qi again.
Chen Qi choked, and Ali's reaction didn't look like he was okay at all, but he was too embarrassed to continue asking if the other party didn't tell him.
Before A Ze came back in the evening, A Li approached Chen Qi eagerly and asked hesitantly: "Chen Qi, can I stay with you tonight?"
"Why?" Chen Qi stopped cutting the red cloth and asked strangely. The most dyed fruits brought back by Aze are red ones. Chen Qi adjusted the previous set for a few orcs to practice calligraphy. Carlo will also help weave some cloth this winter. It's not as good-looking as Ali's, but it can be used to make some small objects. What Chen Qi is doing now is to cut out a few Chinese characters with red cloth, and plan to stick them on places like wooden doors and windows. He also asked Aze to write two couplets, there was no way, now Aze's calligraphy was much better than Chen Qi's.
"It's okay, forget it." A Li slumped his shoulders and packed up the leather shoes he had made.
"Ali, if you encounter any problems that you can't solve, you can tell me. Although I have no ability, I can still give you some advice." Looking at A Li's hesitant expression all day long, Chen Qi felt a headache, since A Li helped him a lot since he came to this world, Chen Qi always wanted to find an opportunity to repay him, but every time he would only trouble A Li with more things, half of what he needed for this wedding It is from Ali's hand.
"Chen Qi, I know you know a lot, so I just want to ask you, I want to ask you..." Ali paused when he said this, and Chen Qi waited patiently for the other party to continue. It took a long time for Ali to raise his head as if he had finally made up his mind. Although his eyes still wandered a little, his tone was much firmer, "Chen Qi, do you think two females can be together?"
Chen Qi was stunned for a moment, looking at A Li's unconsciously clenched fist, he guessed a little bit in his heart, he sat next to A Li, smiled, "Did A Zhang tell you something?"
"How do you know?" Ali exclaimed.
"Azhang's eyes are different when he looks at you and when he looks at others." Chen Qi smiled and replied, ever since he knew his own orientation, he has never made a mistake in distinguishing the same kind, "What about you? What do you think about the identity of Azhang's female son?"
"I..." Ali lowered his head and smiled wryly, "Azhang is a powerful female with good hunting ability, and he has taken good care of the tribe for so many years after the tribe moved away. Good. But I watched him grow up, and I have always regarded him as a younger brother, and I don't know why he has such thoughts. "
"You watched him grow up?" Chen Qi was surprised, Azhang looked much more mature than Ali from the outside.
Ali smiled, "Beast people seldom change their appearance before they reach old age, so you may not be able to tell from the appearance alone, don't look at me like this, in fact, I am 80 years old this year, and I am quite older than Ah Li. Akira is 25 years older."
At this point, a flash of nostalgia flashed in A Li's eyes, "I think he was a little kid when I first met him, a little younger than A Jing. I didn't expect so many years to pass in the blink of an eye, and he didn't know it. They actually supported the dilapidated tribe for so many years."
Chen Qi looked at him encouragingly, motioning for the other party to continue talking, Chen Qi knew that now Ali needed someone who could confide in him.
"Azhang said yesterday that I had saved him, but I had already forgotten about it." Speaking of this, A Li's expression was a little embarrassing, as if he had fallen into a long memory.
"Did you know that before the hyena dragon attack three years ago, it actually happened a long time ago. The scale of that attack was not as big as three years ago, but the tribe paid a heavy price." Ali stretched out his hand He touched his injured leg, "This leg was injured in that attack."
"Azhang said that I had saved him in that attack, but the scene was very chaotic at that time. I don't even remember who I saved at that time. At that time, I had a marriage contract with a male son, and I had planned to become a partner. "A Li's eyes darkened, "I was in a coma for a while after my leg was injured, and I didn't know that Xiongzi was with someone else until I woke up again."
Chen Qi patted Ali's hand comfortingly.
"I'm fine. These things happened decades ago." A Li smiled, "Azhang said that he and Aze have been busy for the ceremony of becoming a couple these days, he is very envious, he It is said that even Aze, who has no stretch marks, has bravely seized happiness, so he should be able to. However, he and I are both females, how can he, how can he... "
Seeing how A Li can do it for a long time without finding the adjective Chen Qi is a bit funny. In fact, it's not that A Li is not interested in A Zhang, it's just that he hasn't passed the hurdle in his heart.
In this world, even though there are many more females than males, there has never been a precedent for females and females being together. The orcs advocate monogamy, unless the original partner loses the ability to hunt, and will marry another female in order to support the family. If two strong and strong females are here with a male at the same time, it is not a good thing to talk about, it just proves that you are not capable of raising your own family alone. In this world where power is paramount, this is Nothing can be tolerated by females.
Looking at the dazed and bewildered Ali, Chen Qi felt as if he had seen his former self. When he found out that he was only interested in men, he was also at a loss, painful and overwhelmed. That tortured himself My mood seems to be covered in a layer of blood until now.
"I also encountered a situation like yours in my hometown." Chen Qi didn't know how to comfort others, so he thought about it and planned to tell his own things: "I knew a long time ago that I like men, if you can If you understand it, it means that I like a male who is the same as me."
Ali opened his mouth in surprise, and Chen Qi interrupted his question, "I was in pain during that time, why was I different from other people? I didn't dare to tell anyone, and then I couldn't help it and went home with my family After talking about it, my father beat me out of the house with a stick." Speaking of this, Chen Qi's nose felt a little sour, and the scene of that day seemed to reappear before his eyes, even though the force of his father's stick fell on his body It's not big, but the wound in my heart was already bleeding profusely. Later, I moved and changed jobs for a few years and never set foot in that house until I came here. If Chen Qi still has any nostalgia for that world, it's probably because he didn't get his family Fortunately, he still has a younger brother and a younger sister by his parents' side, even if he is gone, it shouldn't matter.
"Even so, I have never regretted it. Now that I met Azer, I feel that I came here just to meet him. For me, I don't mind whether Azer has stretch marks or whether he has children. Aze, who has no stretch marks, is just like the men in my hometown. I like him only because he is Aze." Chen Qi looked at A Li, "Maybe I can't tell you about this matter. Any opinion, but it's not your fault whether you like a female or a male, just ask yourself, would you like Azhang if he was a male? If the answer is yes, then why is he a female You didn’t like it when you were young? Then do you like Azhang or his identity as a male son?”
A Li looked back at Chen Qi in shock, he had never thought about this question carefully. Does he like Azhang? he does not know. But doesn't he like Azhang? The answer is no again. The other party has been by his side since Azhang was a little boy. He watched him grow up a little bit, watched him hunt back an adult stegosaurus with other females in the coming-of-age ceremony, and watched him fight against the hyena dragon attack. Zhong tightly guarded himself, watching him use various excuses to exchange a large amount of food for a small amount of cloth and pottery from his side, watching him stay in this dilapidated tribe without hesitation... . .. Too much, Ah Li discovered at this time that since he met Azhang, Azhang has been everywhere in his life.
Chen Qi didn't expect Ali to understand it with a few words. He was just a bystander in the relationship, but he hoped that Ali could think about this matter clearly.
"Like someone, age is not a problem, ability is not a problem, the most important thing is your own heart, the most important thing is whether you want to be with him or not." Chen Qi said softly, this is what has supported him for so many years Faith, he did not succumb because he was different from others, nor did he succumb because he was beaten up by his father. His life is his own, and he hopes that the people he really likes can participate in his future life.
He was really, really grateful for this time travel, for meeting Aze in that white snowy field.
Thinking of this, it was the first time for Chen Qi to want to see Aze so strongly, to hug him, to kiss him, to tell him over and over again that he loves him.
That night, Ali, whose head was still muddled, stayed at Chen Qi's house. Azhang who came back smiled a little lonely when he saw it, and then left. Ali got up quietly and went out in the middle of the night.
"What happened to Uncle Ali?"
Chen Qi hugged A Ze tightly into his arms, and smelled the familiar scent on him, "He's fine, he just figured out some problems that he hadn't thought about before."
