When Qi Muyang was half asleep, a multiple-choice question appeared in his mind: Are you willing to time travel to 2019
He didn't quite understand what it meant, but he still subconsciously chose to agree, and then fell asleep. He slept very soundly, but at the end of the sleep, his body was damp and his face was wet. He scratched his face in dissatisfaction and muttered, "Mom, is there a water leak at home?"
However, no one answered his question. He slept for a while before gradually realizing that something was wrong. After opening his eyes, he found himself lying on a grass, and the water vapor on his body was obviously the morning mist.
He sat on the grass with a confused look on his face. Slowly, students wearing retro school uniforms appeared one after another on the path in front of him, talking and laughing as they walked forward. He followed them subconsciously, and after walking for a while, he saw a gate that looked like an iron fence. On a stone in front of the gate were written the words "Chengde High School".
Chengde High School? Qi Muyang's heart moved, and he looked at these four words in confusion. Then he noticed the electronic board that was pasted like a mosaic next to the stone, on which was reflected a date: October 11, 2019.
He was stunned for a moment, and then the options that flashed through his mind before falling asleep yesterday emerged in his mind. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and froze in place.
"Please make way, classmate. You're blocking the way." A lazy voice suddenly sounded behind me.
Qi Muyang turned his head like a rusty robot, clicking for a long time, and was stunned again when he saw the other person's face. The other person was obviously surprised to see him, and couldn't help asking, "Are you Qi Weichen's relatives?"
"... Yeah." Qi Muyang nodded.
The other person looked at him again and smiled: "You two look so much alike, I can tell at first glance."
Qi Muyang looked at the other party's smug look and couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Chu...Chu Qing?"
"Oh, he told you about me." Chu Qing raised her eyebrows.
Qi Muyang laughed dryly and looked at her stupidly. Chu Qing looked at him strangely, and seeing that time was running out, she rushed into the school. Qi Muyang subconsciously reached out to grab her, but he only caught nothing and could only watch her back as she left.
After standing there for a moment, he suddenly laughed.
Chu Qing rushed into the classroom and sat down in the corner of the last row. When she passed Qi Weichen, she deliberately didn't look at him. She didn't finish the homework he assigned her yesterday, and she was a little scared. She just hoped that the judgment on her could be delayed as long as possible.
However, no matter how late it was, there would be a confrontation. Even if Chu Qing was unwilling, the whole morning had passed. When she wanted to sneak away, Qi Weichen blocked the door.
"Hi... My mom asked me to go home for dinner today, so I'm leaving first." Chu Qing said and was about to run.
Qi Weichen grabbed her arm and asked, "Are you planning to hide forever?"
Chu Qing froze for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said, "I'll make up for the homework."
Qi Weichen looked at her quietly, without any emotion.
"Make up a double portion!" Chu Qing gritted her teeth.
Qi Weichen finally responded: "Give it to me tomorrow morning."
“…Okay.” Although she had passed this hurdle, Chu Qing was still unhappy and even wanted to take this opportunity to break up with him.
"Let's go, don't you want to eat rice noodles?" Qi Weichen asked slowly.
Chu Qing paused: "How do you know?"
"You said that yesterday." Qi Weichen replied.
Chu Qing thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember when she had said it. But when she heard that he cared about her, she couldn't bring herself to say the words of breaking up.
Oh, let's wait for the right time. She sighed in her heart and followed Qi Weichen sullenly. When she was almost at the rice noodle shop, she suddenly thought of something: "Your relative came to see you today. Did you see him?"
"Relatives?" Qi Weichen asked back.
Chu Qing nodded: "He looks a lot like you. He must be a close relative of yours. I saw him when I came here this morning."
"I don't have such relatives," Qi Weichen said after a pause, "and I haven't been in touch with those people for a long time."
"... Are you sure? That guy is about the same age as us, and should be a high school student. Think about it carefully, is there one?" Chu Qing had been thinking about that boy all morning, and when she heard Qi Weichen say this, she couldn't help but ask.
Qi Weichen pursed his lips: "No."
“…Okay.” Chu Qing was a little disappointed, but didn’t say anything. The two of them went to the rice noodle shop to eat together.
Qi Muyang was almost starving. He had already ordered the meal, but when he used his ID card to pay, he found that not only did he not need ID cards to pay in this era, but there weren't even any ID cards. What people usually used was something called an ID card, which could only prove identity and had no other functions.
After he tried several times but failed to pay, he finally ran away under the strange gaze of the boss. He ran a long way before rubbing his hungry stomach and wandering around the school with a confused look on his face. Just when he was at a loss, he saw the younger version of his parents in the rice noodle shop.
He took a step forward happily, but stopped when he saw his father's serious face. He was a little scared. Traveling through time was too ridiculous. After thinking for a long time, he decided to contact his mother first. So he squatted in the corner patiently and waited for them to finish eating. Then, while his father was paying the bill, he whispered to his mother to come out.
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment when she saw him, and then she saw his sneaky look and subconsciously glanced at Qi Weichen. She didn't know what she was thinking, but when Qi Weichen came over, she found a way to separate from him: "I want to go to the bathroom, you go back to the classroom first."
"I'll wait for you." Qi Weichen said.
Chu Qing said hurriedly: "No, no, it will take me a long time, you go back first."
Qi Weichen stared at her for a long while, and finally left first. Chu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and only called Qi Muyang in after he left.
As soon as Qi Muyang arrived at the store, he sat down opposite her and unceremoniously ordered a large portion of rice noodles and two grilled sausages.
Chu Qing raised her eyebrows: "What do you want from me?"
“… Wait for me to finish eating, and I’ll tell you after I finish.” Qi Muyang wolfed down his food, as if he had never eaten in his entire life.
Chu Qing looked at him with a mixture of laughter and tears, not understanding whether it was because she was too obsessed with appearance. She thought the boy was very cute even when he ate like this.
Qi Muyang finished his meal quickly, burped contentedly, and looked at Chu Qing. His eyes turned red as he looked at her: "You are so young."
“… Nonsense, I’m only 18 years old.” Chu Qing rolled her eyes at him.
Qi Muyang was stunned for a moment when he didn't expect her to call herself "old lady".
"Hey, you said you were Qi Weichen's relative, but I asked him just now and he said he had no relatives. Who are you anyway?" Chu Qing leaned forward slightly and looked at him suspiciously. "You didn't like his face so you had plastic surgery to look like him, did you?"
"I didn't have plastic surgery. If you don't believe me, pinch me." Qi Muyang was unconvinced.
Chu Qing was not polite and directly pinched his face. After shaking his nose and chin, she was very surprised: "You really haven't had any plastic surgery, so you just look like him?"
"I must look like him." Qi Muyang snorted.
Chu Qing said, "So you are really relatives?"
"They are very close, direct blood relatives." Qi Muyang suggested proudly, wanting to see if his smart mother could guess their relationship.
Chu Qing was slightly stunned when she heard this, and keenly caught the word "direct line". After a moment of silence, she frowned: "You said you are direct relatives, but he said there is no such person as you in his family. Who should I believe between the two of you?"
Qi Muyang thought for a moment: "Actually, both of us are right." He was not born yet at this time, so in his father's eyes, there was no such person as him in their family, but to him, his father was his immediate family member.
Chu Qing stared at him for a long time, then suddenly said, "I know what your relationship is."
Qi Muyang's eyes lit up and he looked at her expectantly.
"You two are brothers!" Chu Qing slammed the table, "But you definitely don't have the same parents, otherwise he wouldn't deny you. Tell me, are you and him half-siblings? Judging from your ages... you're still an illegitimate child?!"
Qi Muyang: “…” Why does mom have such a wild imagination
"Heh, I've never heard of you before. Why are you suddenly jumping out now? Do you want to bully people?" Chu Qing narrowed his eyes.
Qi Muyang said with a headache: "I didn't mean to bully anyone, and I came here just by accident... Most importantly, I'm not his brother!"
"Who are you?"
"It's his son!"
The conversation between the two suddenly stopped. After looking at each other for a moment, Chu Qing took a breath and said, "Is there anyone like you who takes the initiative to claim to be your father?!"
"… He is my father, you are my mother, and I traveled from the future." Qi Muyang explained the matter speechlessly.
Chu Qing listened quietly, and sneered after a while: "You made up a good story. Do you have any mental illness? You just make up stories every day when you have nothing to do."
"I didn't make it up, I can prove it!" Qi Muyang was unconvinced.
Chu Qing raised her eyebrows: "Then prove it."
"I know you best. You have been good at both studying and helping others since you were young. You don't fight or fall in love early. You are a good student. You and my dad started dating in college. You have a good relationship. You got pregnant with me in your third year of college and gave birth to me before you graduated. But you didn't neglect your studies..."
Qi Muyang was talking on and on, and Chu Qing had only one thought in her mind: This kid is really a lunatic.
Before he could finish, Chu Qing turned around and was about to leave. Qi Muyang quickly stopped her: "I've explained so much, and you still don't believe it?"
"None of what you said is right, how can I believe you?" Chu Qing was speechless, "I have always been the worst student in school and I love to fight and cause trouble, let's not talk about all that, just the fact that I don't fall in love too early... Friend, do you know that I am in a relationship with Qi Weichen now?"
Qi Muyang was struck by lightning.
Before Chu Qing left, she couldn't help but laugh at him, "What are you saying? We were together in college, and you were born in our third year... That's nonsense. We're going to break up soon, don't you understand?"
"What?" Qi Muyang was struck by lightning again.
Chu Qing nodded affirmatively and gave a fake smile: "So, go back to your mental hospital and don't let me see you again."
"Wait a minute!" Qi Muyang stood up quickly.
Chu Qing frowned: "Anything else?"
"I don't have money to pay the bill, can you help me pay?" Qi Muyang looked innocent.
The corner of Chu Qing's mouth twitched, and she took out a fifty-dollar bill with a snap. Qi Muyang quickly took it and went to pay the bill. After paying, he had thirty-five left, which was enough for him to have two more meals.
Qi Muyang thought he could hold on until the next day to find a solution, but it suddenly rained that afternoon. His first reaction was to buy an umbrella, but after buying it, he realized that he had no money.
With no other choice, he had to continue standing at the gate of Chengde High School and wait until school was over, trying to identify every person coming out of the school in an attempt to find his parents. However, these people were all wearing the same clothes, and their hairstyles were similar, so he couldn't tell them apart at all.
When Chu Qing and Qi Weichen came out of school together, they saw this big fool standing there, clearly looking for her. She was speechless for a moment and wanted to go up and smash his head.
"Do you know each other?" Qi Weichen also noticed the other person. After seeing the face that looked similar to his own, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Chu Qing was stunned: "Ah, I don't know him."
"Let's go." Qi Weichen said, then walked forward.
Chu Qing had no choice but to keep up. Occasionally, she looked back and saw Qi Muyang standing there alone, his back looked so pitiful. She couldn't help but look back and stopped several times.
Qi Weichen's temper became lower and lower, but he said nothing in the end.
After the two of them walked for a while, Chu Qing couldn't help but said, "Well... I suddenly remembered something, so I'll go for a walk."
After saying this, she was afraid of being rejected by Qi Weichen, so she turned around and ran back the same way. Qi Weichen stood there quietly, not moving for a long time.
When Chu Qing ran to the school gate, she couldn't find Qi Muyang anymore. She breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard a weak voice in the corner: "Mom."
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw Qi Muyang standing under a broken tile to avoid the rain. She frowned and walked over: "Where's your umbrella?"
"Just now there was a grandma who didn't have an umbrella, so I gave it to her," Qi Muyang paused after saying, "No, according to her age, you should call her grandma, and I should call her great-grandma."
"…Your brain isn't healed yet?" Chu Qing was speechless.
Qi Muyang looked at her aggrievedly: "I really am your son."
"Okay, where is your home? I'll take you back." Chu Qing said and pushed him to leave.
Qi Muyang took a deep breath: "Your mother's name is Cui Feng and your father's name is Chu Ziqiang. You used to have a small black mole on your neck, but your mother tricked you into having it cleaned. You cried for a long time. You have a mole on your chest..."
"Shut up!" Chu Qing exploded, "How do you know what's on my chest?!"
"Because you are my mother, I took a bath with you before I was five years old." Qi Muyang said innocently.
Chu Qing looked at him steadily, narrowing her eyes for a while: "I still don't believe it."
Qi Muyang was silent for a moment: "At this point, we can only do a paternity test."
"... I won't do it." Seeing his determined face, Chu Qing couldn't help but take two steps back, her heart skipping a beat. If this was her and Qi Weichen's son, wouldn't it mean that she and Qi Weichen hadn't broken up? That would be too miserable for her!
"Mom, are you avoiding me?" Qi Muyang asked seriously.
Chu Qing was speechless: "Don't call me mom, I'm not your mom."
"You are my mother." Qi Muyang insisted.
Chu Qing's head exploded: "I'm not your mother! There's no way Qi Weichen and I gave birth to you!"
"Why?" Qi Muyang was puzzled.
Chu Qing glared: "We are about to break up, how can I give birth to you?!"
"Why do you want to break up?" Qi Muyang was shocked.
Chu Qing glanced at him: "Why else? We are not suitable, and he doesn't like me that much. He just likes to force me to study. It's normal that we can't go on. I have planned to break up with him by the end of the year at the latest, so you can't be our..."
"Dad." Qi Muyang was stunned.
Chu Qing raised her eyebrows: "I told you that you are not..."
"Dad, Dad, we were just talking casually, please don't take it to heart." Qi Muyang said dryly.
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, and turned her head in a bad mood, only to see Qi Weichen standing quietly behind her. He didn't hold an umbrella, his body was wet, and there were drops of water on the ends of his hair. After Chu Qing looked over, he walked forward expressionlessly, stared at Qi Muyang for a moment, and asked: "Qi Muyang?"
"Yes... How do you know my name?" Qi Muyang was surprised.
Qi Weichen lowered his eyes: "I thought of your name on the first day I was with her."
Chu Qing: “…”
"Haha, Dad, you are really far-sighted." Qi Muyang said embarrassedly.
Qi Weichen heard this and looked at Chu Qing calmly: "Really?"
Chu Qing looked at him dryly, and after a while, she mustered up her courage: "Since, since you have heard it, then we..."
"Let's go, it's time to go home." Qi Weichen interrupted lightly.
Chu Qing paused: "We break up..."
"Muyang, come back with me first, otherwise you won't be able to explain how you got such a big son." Qi Weichen interrupted again, and then left without looking back. Qi Muyang glanced at Chu Qing, gritted his teeth and followed.
Chu Qing stood there alone, and suddenly felt so depressed that she wanted to cry. Wasn't breaking up something she had always wanted to do? Why did she feel even worse after she actually said it out loud
Because of a conversation today, she didn't sleep well the whole night. When she went to school the next morning, she saw Qi Muyang following Qi Weichen and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Morning, Mom!" Qi Muyang said with a smile, and Qi Weichen looked over at him.
Chu Qing smiled awkwardly, lowered her head and ran away.
"Dad, don't you talk to Mom?" Qi Muyang looked worried.
Qi Weichen glanced at him and went to the classroom without saying a word. Qi Muyang rubbed his nose, sat obediently beside the big rock in front of the school, and waited patiently for them to finish school.
Relying on the fact that they were his biological sons, he called the two of them to have lunch with him. He tried to liven up the atmosphere throughout the meal, but Chu Qing and Qi Weichen remained silent.
This continued for two days. Qi Muyang felt that he couldn't go on like this any longer, so when he got home, he asked his father seriously, "Are you really going to break up with her?"
"I didn't agree." Qi Weichen said lightly.
Qi Muyang was speechless: "You didn't agree, but you didn't refuse either, and you didn't show any reluctance to leave my mother. I tell you, if you continue like this, she will really not want you."
Qi Weichen frowned slightly, feeling unhappy in his heart: "Then what should I do?"
"I don't think my mother dislikes you. She just doesn't want you to force her to study. Why don't you have a good talk with her? It would be best to express your love for her." Qi Muyang gave serious advice.
Qi Weichen looked at him thoughtfully, and said seriously after a while: "I can't say it."
"Then have a drink!" Qi Muyang suggested immediately, "Your reaction after drinking is very real."
Qi Weichen was silent.
Qi Muyang did what he said, and took advantage of the small week the next afternoon to call Chu Qing to his home. Chu Qing didn't know why she followed him, but she knew that she felt uncomfortable all day after she broke up with him.
"Mom, please sit down first. I'll go get you some water." Qi Muyang pushed her into the house.
Chu Qing nodded, and just as she was about to say something, he ran away. She hurried to push the door, but it was locked. She frowned slightly, and just as she was about to speak, she felt someone behind her, and turned her head to see Qi Weichen.
She was stunned for a moment: "You are at home too?"
"Qingqing." Qi Weichen spoke slowly.
Chu Qing was in a very complicated mood. She just nodded silently when she heard that. The next second, Qi Weichen suddenly stretched out his arms to her: "Hug."
"… What?"
"Hug." Qi Weichen took a step forward stubbornly.
Chu Qing was startled. When he approached her, she smelled alcohol. She was stunned for a moment: "Have you been drinking?"
"A little bit." Qi Weichen reached out and hugged him.
… This was their first time hugging, and even though Chu Qing felt it was inappropriate to do so now, her face still turned red: “Let me go.”
"How about not breaking up?" Qi Weichen asked gloomily.
Chu Qing paused: "What did you say?"
"I don't want to break up."
Chu Qing's heartbeat suddenly became a little chaotic: "Why?"
"I love you."
Chu Qing was suddenly speechless. After a long while, she said dryly, "But you never said you loved me."
"I thought you knew. I'm sorry," Qi Weichen's voice became even more muffled. "I will often say this in the future. Let's not break up, okay?"
"… Then will you still force me to study?" Chu Qing probed.
Qi Weichen thought for a moment and said, "Yes."
Chu Qing: “…”
"I want to go to the same university with you and be with you forever, so I want you to study hard." Qi Weichen said seriously.
Chu Qing: "... I thought you liked forcing poor students to study."
Qi Weichen paused for a moment, then let go of her seriously: "What kind of perverted hobby is that?"
"... You also think it's abnormal." Chu Qing was speechless.
Qi Weichen looked at her steadily, his eyes suddenly reddened: "Don't break up."
Chu Qing's heart softened immediately, and at the same time she was shocked to realize that she was such a jerk for wanting to break up in the first place. Her mind went blank, and she no longer cared about anything else, and began to comfort him with kind words.
She was pestered by this drunkard for two hours until he finally agreed not to break up and allowed her to go home. When Chu Qing came out of Qi Weichen's house, her mood had changed. She suddenly became curious about her future life, so she wanted to find Qi Muyang to ask him. However, no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find the man who claimed to be her son.
On the other side, Qi Muyang woke up and found himself still in his bed. Everything was exactly the same as before he went to bed.
“… Was it just a dream? But this dream was too real.” Qi Muyang was puzzled.
Just as he was struggling, his dear mother came in with a plate of cantaloupe in her hand: "Want some fruit, Muyang cub?"
"Eat." Qi Muyang immediately jumped up to wash up. While washing, he looked at his mother who was sitting in front of his computer. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Mom, have you been in love with my dad since high school?"
Chu Qing was stuffing cantaloupe into her mouth and almost choked when she heard this. She looked at him in horror and said, "No!"
Qi Muyang: “…” With that expression, how could he believe it
Chu Qing seemed to realize that her acting skills were terrible, and after a while she couldn't help asking, "How did you know?"
Qi Muyang was about to answer when he suddenly thought of a question: "Didn't you meet me when you were in high school?"
"Are you silly? You weren't even born when we were in high school." Chu Qing laughed.
Qi Muyang stared at her for a long time, making sure that she really hadn't seen him, so... it was just a dream? He looked at the cantaloupe disappearing quickly on the plate, and finally couldn't help laughing.
Just think of it as a dream.
The author has something to say: Tomorrow will be the last small extra chapter, Qingqing chasing Qi Shen, and then this article will be finished. Everyone remember to rate me then. Also, the new article has too many violations, so I made some small changes and revised the article. It will be posted at nine o'clock.
