Another barbecue restaurant downstairs in Qi Nian's apartment.
It was not yet dark, the blue-black sky was surging with clouds, and the sky was low, as if it would rain at any time.
Qi Nian bit the barbecue and tore it off, then took a sip of the beer at hand, which was so spicy that he was so cold.
Liu Xia frowned, holding the beer bottle in front of Li Yue, who was farthest from Qi Nian.
"I came here as soon as I got off the plane, not to see how you got yourself drunk." Liu Xia took a bite of the grilled fish with chopsticks, and squinted at her, "You said that you won't go to the laboratory during this time, right? ?"
It really is a pot that can't be opened without mentioning which pot...
Qi Nian looked sad.
She regretted that her bowels were turning green!
"Well done." Liu Xia pointed to the chili pepper in front of her with a bamboo stick, "This kind of thing is fresh at the beginning, but when it's too spicy to bear, you want to keep drinking water to cool down..."
Qi Nian looked at her vaguely.
"That is to say," Liu Xia took a sip of water and raised her eyebrows, "it's alright if you don't go to the laboratory, but you rarely appear in front of Teacher Ji recently, at least let him realize that you have existed and even intervened in his life. "
Qi Nian has evolved from a vague understanding to a confused state, "How can you anger your sense of existence if you don't shake it in front of him?"
Liu Xia sneered and put on a stern look, "Do you think I'm dead?"
Li Yue shook his head helplessly beside him.
Qi Nian bit her finger and almost cried, "Simply put it... I don't understand."
Liu Xia unhurriedly took a bite of the tenderloin, and then poured in the lipstick again, and then he said slowly: "What is the highest level of teasing? Even if you tease and tease inadvertently, he will be fascinated... Every day. It's enough to have a familiarity with the sense of existence. Next, it's time to make a spring... "
Qi Nian still had the expression "Xia Xia, I still don't understand what you are talking about".
Liu Xia: "..."
Although not on the same channel, the tacit understanding of more than 20 years has brought this soul exchange to a successful conclusion.
Qi Nian watched Li Yue and Liu Xia leave, packed up the unfinished barbecue and went home in high spirits.
Sitting in front of the computer, she spread out the drawing paper, and she solemnly wrote down four big characters with a signature pen—holding nothing.
Ji Yanxin came to class after taking a leave of absence. As soon as he made tea, Professor Shen who was next door smelled the aroma of the tea and came over, "What do I say... Are you cured of a cold?"
Ji Yanxin leaned against the bookcase, described as being lazy, holding a transparent plastic cup in his hand, just soaked in hot water, the thick mist rising from the mouth of the cup, blurring his handsome profile.
Hearing the voice, he turned his head, nodded slightly and said, "Uncle Shen."
"Your face still looks bad." Professor Shen shook his head, found a chair and sat down, "Why don't you take a good rest for two days and come back in such a hurry?"
"Don't worry." Ji Yanxin lowered his eyes, glanced over the bookcase, and came out with two books in a short while.
Professor Shen glanced at the spine of the book casually, raised his eyebrows, and said with great interest, "Are these two elementary books lent to Qi girl who majored in ancient literature?"
Ji Yanxin held his hand on the spine of the book for a while, stared at the two books stiffly for a moment, and then shook his head, "I'm confused..."
She told him the day before yesterday that she would not come.
Of course, I didn't learn it.
Ji Yanxin put the book back in its original place without any disturbance, holding the teacup, quietly looking out the window.
After a few days, Qi Nian's little angels couldn't hold back.
The number of comments on the Weibo that was pinned to the top kept rising. Qixiong, Qixiong's support army, was dizzy by a private message and Aite as soon as he posted on Weibo. are inevitably affected.
When her Weibo went viral, Qi Nian was in a professional class with a serious face... fascinated.
five days...
It's the fifth day!
She hadn't seen Ji Yanxin for five days!
There is no need to rush between the biochemistry class and the professional class, Qi Nian is free.
Usually, she always complains about not having enough time when she is rushing to draft. Her procrastination has a cooling time of three hours... Usually, it is late in the middle of the night after finishing the draft, and she is so sleepy that she just wants to throw herself in bed unconscious.
But she really has a lot of time, but she has no interest in chasing dramas, nor enthusiasm for chasing texts.
In addition to Ji Yanxin, my mind is full of Ji Yanxin...
Go crazy!
She put her chin on her other hand and stared at the chalk writing on the blackboard without blinking, but everything in her vision was blurry.
Just as he was sighing, Qi Nian, who was suffering from lovesickness, suddenly felt the phone in his pocket buzzing and vibrating.
She glanced carefully at the professor who was spitting out on the podium, and quietly took out her mobile phone.
Both expected and unexpected, Ji Qiu's text message—
"Sister Qi, are you free tonight? Wansheng has opened a new dessert shop. Would you like to watch a movie and eat dessert at night? Just the two of us."
Qi Nianzhi's hand on his chin loosened, and with a thud, his forehead slammed on the desk.
Silent.
The classroom was eerily quiet.
Qi Nian noticed that all eyes in the classroom would be focused on her, and the back of her head was hot for a while.
She closed her eyes and raised her hands to cover her face.
faceless...
It must have been an offer with Ji Qiu.
Whether it's because she's a fan of Qizai or Ji Yanxin's cousin.
An appointment was made to meet directly at the gate of Wansheng Plaza at 6:30 in the evening. Qi Nian went home first and took two self-signed comic books from the bookshelf before going out to the appointment.
Qi Nian's home in Yimeng is not very far from Ji Yanxin's apartment, one street, several intersections, and it can be reached by bus very quickly.
She couldn't help her heart pounding, she insisted on taking a bus that ran opposite to Wansheng Square but passed in front of his apartment, and was afraid that she would be embarrassed waiting for the bus at the bus stop in front of his apartment, so she took two stops. just got off.
Even with this tossing, it is still too early.
The weather after the beginning of winter is getting colder every day.
She wrapped her woolen coat tightly, pushed the door into the Starbucks in Wansheng Plaza, ordered a hot cappuccino, and sat in the open air only covered by an umbrella at the door, watching the whole sky like a sunken cruise ship , sinking into the darkness little by little.
The sky in the urban area is not as clear as Dongli Mountain. Even if there is no cloud cover, it is difficult to see such a large bright starry sky.
She held the paper cup in her hand and drank in small sips.
When the lights in Z City first came on, the cup of cappuccino gradually cooled down, and Ji Qiu's figure appeared in the night.
Qi Nian waved to her, not surprisingly Ji Yanxin didn't send her over.
"Sister Qi, have you been waiting for me for a long time?" Ji Qiu gasped for a few breaths while covering his heart, "Cousin still didn't come back from school, I took Qibao for a walk, and it was late."
Qi Nian raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, "It's not too late, it's only five minutes until half past six."
Ji Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, rolled his eyes, and took Qi Nian's hand, "Let's go, I'm starving to death."
Filled up at the dessert shop and picked up tickets at the cinema.
While waiting for the movie to be shown, Qi Niancai remembered to give her the two books she brought, "Actually, that night, when you said you knew I was Qizai, I was shocked..."
Ji Qiu looked at the two books she handed over, his eyes lit up, and he hugged him in love, "Did you sign it? Did you sign it?"
Until now, Ji Qiu has only looked like her fanfic.
Qi Nian coughed and nodded, a little embarrassed, "It's signed on the title page, and there are two postcards."
Ji Qiu hurriedly opened the book and looked at it, the corners of her mouth raised high, "What's the matter... hehe." After laughing twice, she turned her head and asked, "Is "The Other Side of the Clouds" not yet on the market?"
"The Other Side of the Cloud" was a pit before "Beauty should be repaired". Not long after she finished filling in the manuscript, she suddenly mentioned such a literary title from her mouth, and Qi Nian was still embarrassed.
"It's still early," she replied.
Ji Qiu let out an "oh", with a bright light in his eyes, "I still regret it, why is it not you but Lu Qing who signed the sale..."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Qiu realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and looked at her a little helplessly and guiltily.
Qi Nian didn't care, but unexpectedly she would know about Lu Qingwu, "You... When did you start reading my comics?"
"It's very early..." Ji Qiu squeezed his chin, pretending to be deep, "Actually, I'm a big fan of your brain..."
Qi Nian hasn't recovered from his confusion, Ji Qiu added quietly: "In order not to let the "Beauty Yi Xiu" pit, I will try my best to assist..."
Qi Nian: "..."
Does this count as the biggest surprise she has picked up since drawing comics for so many years
Before the movie started, Qi Nian returned to Ji Qiu's Weibo.
I was about to post on Weibo, when I remembered something, I turned around and asked, "Can I interact with you?"
Ji Qiu has switched to being a fanatical fan since she received the book just now. Qi Nian said anything she said, which was completely unprincipled... She was outrageously cute.
So, being pampered or something...
Ji Qiu immediately pecked at the rice and nodded, "Flip my cards!"
As a result, the seven cubs, who had been missing for nearly a week, exploded as soon as the little angels changed their minds.
Seven Cubs: I won the grand prize and picked up a cousin of the male god that was dropped by the system. Unfortunately... Seven Cubs fans, hahahaha.
This Weibo came out.
The little angels immediately turned the attention of the seven cubs, and the most recent one was "Ji Qiuqiu who loves the seven cubs".
As the powerful official support group of Seven Cubs, Seven Bears immediately forwarded—
Seven Cubs Official Support Team: Our goddess is extraordinary, and the cousin of the male god who is casually picked up is still a Seven Cubs fan. Girl, promise us that you must send your cousin to our cub's King-size bed without any worries!
Ji Qiu pushed the 3D glasses on the bridge of his nose, thinking that Ji Yanxin should be home by now, seeing the note she put on his slippers, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his lips.
As for my own family... I always have to take care of it.
Ji Yanxin turned the key, heard the sound of Qibao tapping the door with his claws, and opened the door to take a look.
Room full of darkness.
He frowned slightly, and while bending over to embrace Qibao, he called out Ji Qiu's name a few times.
What responded to him was the silence of the room.
Closing the door with a backhand, Ji Yanxin pressed the light.
When he changed his shoes, he saw the bright yellow sticky note paper pasted on his slippers—
Brother, Sister Qi and I went out to dinner and watched a movie, and we came back at half past ten.
Ji Qiu
Ji Yanxin sighed.
He does not restrict Ji Qiu's activities. Usually, as long as he reports the time and place where he goes, and can keep the communication flowing, he will not interfere.
But this time...
His eyes fell on "Sister Qi" and "10:30" for a while, he hesitated for a moment, and sent a text message to Ji Qiu: "Address, I'll pick you up."
Ji Qiuzheng bit the popcorn and laughed until she couldn't breathe. The screen of her phone lit up and she looked down.
Ji Yanxin's text message just jumped into her field of vision, very clear.
She quietly looked back at Qi Nian, who was holding her forehead and smiling softly, shoved the popcorn in her hand into her mouth, and tapped a string of addresses with her fingers.
The movie is over.
Qi Nian, who was unaware, waited for Ji Qiu to come out of the bathroom after going to the bathroom, and even discussed calling her first to send her back safely.
Ji Qiu was confirming his location with Ji Yanxin. Hearing this, he said, "Mmmm" several times before he remembered that he hadn't told Qi Nian, "Cousin is here to pick me up..."
Qi Nian was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's good."
Ji Qiu blinked and asked, "That's it?"
Qi Nian couldn't help laughing, "What if else?"
Ji Qiu couldn't answer.
On the night of the camping in Dongli Mountain, when Ji Qiu turned her head and bumped into Qi Nian's line of sight, she was shocked. After a while of panic, she tried to explain the conversation that Qi Nian heard.
And she, just before she was about to speak, put the index finger of her right hand on her lips to signal her not to speak.
Ji Qiu had never liked someone like this before. She didn't know how much harm this kind of unskilled and almost straightforward rejection would bring to Qi Nian.
But when Qi Nian turned over and buried her face in her sleeping bag, she felt rebellious towards Ji Yanxin for the first time.
Even an outsider like her felt so much, not to mention how Qi Nian couldn't sleep that night.
Ji Qiu sighed, "Aren't you missing?"
Qi Nian's heart wrinkled at the thought, but in front of Ji Qiu, he still maintained a calm appearance, "I'll go directly from the east exit in a while, and it's a few steps to the bus stop, and I'll go home soon. , you can call me when you get home, and texting is fine."
Ji Qiu agreed with an "Oh", and reluctantly released his hand at the elevator entrance, "Then be careful."
Qi Nian looked at Ji Qiu's drooping brows, and felt it was funny and warm. He gently squeezed the back of her hand and released her first, "Then I'll go."
After waiting for Qi Nian to disappear between the showcases in three steps, Ji Qiu took out his mobile phone and called Ji Yanxin.
Ji Yanxin came half an hour before the movie ended, and the car was parked in a temporary parking space on the side of the road.
While waiting, he even went to a 24-hour convenience store next to Wansheng to get a bottle of milk... At the same time he received Ji Qiu's call, he had already seen Ji Qiu looking around at the gate.
Ji Yanxin frowned.
How come there is only one
The car horn sounded rough and loud.
Ji Qiu turned his head and saw Ji Yanxin's car parked on the side of the road, hung up the phone, waved his hand, and hurriedly grabbed the shoulder strap of his backpack and trotted over.
Open the door, and a gentle melody of piano music pours out.
Ji Qiu sat in the co-pilot, took the backpack into his arms, and was about to buckle his seat belt when he heard Ji Yanxin ask casually, "Didn't you mean to be with Qi Nian?"
Ji Qiu said "um" and replied without thinking, "She heard you coming to pick me up, so she took the bus back by herself."
When the words fell, she came up with an "I'm good" expression, "You let me take care of myself, but I don't dare to have any thoughts."
Ji Yanxin raised his hand and pushed her head away, grabbed the lever and started to leave.
Ji Qiu was pushed over his head, turned around and buckled his seat belt, muttering in his mouth, chanting: "But it's so late, can sister Qi wait for the car..."
Ji Yanxin ignored her.
Ji Qiu continued to mutter: "We live so close to Sister Qi's house, I should have taken her for a ride just now. In case..."
Not long after the car drove out, it was an intersection with a lot of traffic.
The signal light just jumped to a red light, and the cars in front of them all slowly stopped in front of the stop line.
Just as he was about to change lanes, Ji Qiu pointed at Qi Nian who was waiting for the green light at the intersection, and called out, "Hey, hey, Sister Qi!"
Through a layer of glass, Qi Nian didn't hear it.
On the other hand, Ji Yanxin pressed the button of the car door with his left hand and slowly lowered the car window on Ji Qiu's side.
Ji Qiu waved his hand and shouted, "Sister Qi."
While waiting for the green light, Qi Nian's foot has not been retracted when he stepped out, when he saw Ji Qiu lying at the window beckoning to her.
She stopped in surprise.
An old man riding a bicycle behind him controlled the direction crookedly. As soon as Qi Nian stopped, the old man didn't have time to brake, so he tiptoed to slow the momentum of the bicycle, but he still hit Qi Nian.
Qi Nian looked back while clutching his hurt elbow, and the other party hurriedly said sorry, and kept repeating, Qi Nian was a little embarrassed to hear, "It's okay, it's okay..."
She gave way to the side, and when she looked up again, Ji Yanxin's car had reached the stop line of the empty corner.
He looked sideways through the car window.
Those eyebrows and eyes that hide Arctic ice and snow were clearly imprinted on Qi Nian's eyes.
He lowered his head slightly and looked at her over Ji Qiu.
His eyes were calm and quiet, and there was not a trace of the turbulence of seeing her again after a week.
But for so many days, it seemed like a lifetime for Qi Nian.
Qi Nian calmed down.
Before she could speak, Ji Qiu couldn't wait to invite her: "Sister Qi, get in the car and let my cousin give you a ride. You live nearby anyway."
Qi Nian glanced at Ji Yanxin subconsciously.
With the window covering and the backlight, Qi Nian couldn't see his expression at all.
She waved her hand and pointed to the bus stop not far away, "I'll be there in just a few more steps."
Ji Yanxin didn't know when the elegant piano music in the car was turned off. He held the steering wheel with his left hand and put the other hand on the gear lever. He turned to look at her, and said concisely, "Get in the car, I'll take you back."
Qi Nian's hand tightened slightly, her fingernails were pinched into her palm, which made her feel a little pain, so she restrained herself and looked at the signal light on the opposite side that was already jumping to enter the yellow light, "Don't bother Teacher Ji. already."
Such deliberate alienation made Ji Yanxin frown, and a bit of displeasure came over him, "It's inconvenient here, let's talk about it later."
Qi Nian was startled.
Come up, come up and talk
Isn't she refusing to get in the car...
Do you have to wait until you get in the car and then tell him: "I think I said last week that I would not go to the Biochemical Institute so boldly, I should also restrain myself from not taking your ride, go home by myself, and then get off the car neatly. ?"
She is not sick...
The stern refusal has come to his lips, but when he saw Ji Yanxin's cool and somewhat warning eyes, Qi Nian still opened the rear door in a hopeless manner - alright, alright, let's get in the car first...
Getting in the car was unprecedentedly restrained.
Ji Qiu also sat in the co-pilot honestly, except when Qi Nian opened the car door and came in, she turned her head and stared at her with a smile, and made another face...
After being quiet for a while, Ji Qiu suddenly asked, "Sister Qi, can you update tonight?"
Qi Nian didn't react for a while.
When my mind turned around, I felt a little guilty for no reason.
"Beauty should be repaired" is entirely based on her and Ji Yanxin's daily life as a nourishment to dig and fill it up bit by bit. Just saying this in front of Ji Yanxin, who doesn't know it, she really lacks confidence.
"More..." Qi Nian was weak.
Ji Qiu was addicted to the bad things, he leaned on the back of the chair with one hand and turned to look at her, "Then do I have any special benefits?"
Qi Nian glanced at Ji Yanxin uneasily, saw that he didn't care, lowered his voice, and poked secretly: "This... we will talk privately in the future." Don't say it in front of your cousin, please!
Ji Qiu looked sly as if he didn't understand, "Isn't it private now?"
When the words fell, without waiting for Qi Nian's answer, he said to Ji Yanxin, "Cousin, can I learn to paint with Sister Qi during the winter vacation?"
Qi Nian is stupid...
Why didn't she notify her in advance of the development of this script
Ji Yanxin glanced at Qi Nian in the rearview mirror, and seemed to remember that she was still a cartoonist.
"Look, Sister Qi is also familiar with me. I don't have time to learn Chinese painting and watercolor painting. It's very practical to learn some sketches with Sister Qi..." Ji Qiu paused, and pleaded softly, "Otherwise you can start Conditions, I will try my best to complete the test."
Qi Nian was stunned, and when he was worried that Ji Qiu would be rejected mercilessly by Ji Yanxin, the latter gave an ambiguous answer: "Wait until the winter vacation arrives."
When the words were over, Ji Yanxin asked her casually, "When will you bring me the painting related to the Institute of Biochemistry?"
Qi Nian's face turned pale, like a bolt from the blue.
Ji Qiu was also stiff, looking at her with raised eyebrows, the meaning in his eyes was obvious: "What do you do?"
As a true fan of Qizai, it's really not an accident that Qi Nian fell in front of her...
She started when Qi Zai said she met a male god, and then started to serialize "Beauty Yi Xiu" based on herself and the male god. She had a feeling that Qi Zai was very close to her, and one day, they would be able to live in meet somewhere.
Later, she found all kinds of keywords from comics.
For example: Mr. J is an associate professor of the School of Biochemistry and has a very intelligent golden retriever Qibao. One day, she dropped her bag in Mr. J's car, and then came into the house...
If these can't point to Qi Nian being the seven cubs, then, until one day...
In Qizai's painting, she saw a cousin who was always smiling, energetic and cute.
There is absolutely no need to ask her about the possibility of confirming that she is Seven Cubs.
Therefore, Ji Qiu knows that Qi Nian only has one copy of "Beauty Yi Xiu" in his hand, and this comic... has been defined as "2016 Chasing Male God Collection" by fans of Qizai.
If Qi Nian submits this as homework, Ji Qiu can guess the consequences without using his brain...
Ji Yanxin either twisted Qi Nian's neck or her spine.
Qi Nian's hand on her knees has been unconsciously pinching the skirt. She gave a "uh" and replied, "Next time... if I remember, I'll bring it to you."
Anyway, when she was taking classes in the Biochemical Institute, she drew a lot of schematic diagrams...
With a little modification, it should be able to be used.
Ji Yanxin looked at her carefully through the rearview mirror, and curled the corners of his lips unexpectedly in a good mood, "I have something to hide from me, eh?"
Qi Nian's back suddenly felt cool.
It was at this moment that Ji Qiu made a "hey" and pointed to the public toilet on the side of the road, "Cousin, stop for a while... I, I, I go to the toilet."
Ji Yanxin glanced to the side of the road, made sure there was no following car, and stopped slowly.
Qi Nian's palms were sweating, Ji Qiu walked away without any sincerity, she could only watch the car door slammed shut, and in the entire closed space, only she and Ji Yanxin were...
One after the other.
Obviously, Ji Yanxin had no plans to let her go.
He curled his hand slightly, and the hand holding the steering wheel maintained the angle of the steering wheel when he pulled over to the side of the car. He bent his elbows and turned to look at her, "I think I forgot to ask before..."
Ji Yanxin paused, then calmly said, "Aren't you going to tell me?"
Qi Nian's brain became hot, and he picked up the "prodigal son" side of Ji Yanxin, the "idiot man", and raised his chin, he was more confident than Ji Yanxin, "I didn't ask before, it was Mr. Ji, you were not interested in me. Now You have said that you are not interested in me so many times, and I am not bothering the teacher anymore. Is it because you are teasing me?"
In one sentence, Ji Yanxin was completely choked to death.
answer yes? He is sick.
The answer is no...
Seems like it's not enough
"I didn't expect..." He coughed and lowered his eyebrows.
The afterglow of the street lamps outside the car window shone on his handsome side face, and the arc and edge of the light and shadow made Qi Nian's heartbeat unsteady, almost uncontrollably wanting to pounce...
However, after thinking about the consequences, she honestly turned her eyes away and stared at the door of the women's toilet.
Ji Qiu, this little rascal, hasn't come out yet!
The last sentence of Ji Yanxin was originally "You gave up so easily", but when the words came to his mouth, he realized that... This kind of words are too frivolous for him to say, which is not in line with the style of painting he has always treated her, and is born on the tip of his tongue. It turned into: "Ji Qiu wants to learn to draw with you, what do you think?"
Qi Nian suddenly has the backbone now, and answered with a particularly stubborn tone: "I don't care, I'm afraid Teacher Ji will think too much."
Ji Yanxin raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes slipped between her deliberately pretending to be indifferent, and he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, "Then teach her."
The soft and slow voice made Qi Nian's ears red, and obediently replied: "Oh."
