If she was happy about the 15-day vacation before, now Chu Qing was just worried. She had no money and no home. Once she left school, she would have no other choice but to sleep on the street.
… What should I do
Chu Qing sighed sadly and fell into endless worry about the future. She had a frown on her face the whole afternoon and had completely lost her usual liveliness.
When she sighed for the eighth time, Qi Muyang finally couldn't help but be curious: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I just don't want to take a holiday." Chu Qing said with a bitter face while lying on the table.
Qi Muyang: “…” Sick.
Since they had different ideas about holidays, Qi Muyang decided to end the conversation.
After the evening self-study, Qi Muyang ran away early. Chu Qing packed her things slowly. When she was about to leave, there was no one in the class. She pinched her nose bridge, frowned and walked out. After a few steps, she saw a figure standing outside. She paused and walked over: "Waiting for me?"
Qi Weichen turned around and nodded silently. Chu Qing stared at him for a long time, then sighed and said, "Let's go."
The two of them walked down the stairs side by side and walked on the main road of the school together. No one spoke. It was not until they entered the dormitory gate that Chu Qing spoke first: "I'm going back, you should go back too."
"Why are you in a bad mood?" Qi Weichen asked.
Chu Qing paused, rubbed his hair and said, "It's not that I'm in a bad mood, I'm just a little worried."
"What are you worried about?" Qi Weichen asked.
Chu Qing sighed: "It's about the holidays. It seems that the school will be closed at that time, and we can't stay overnight in school."
Qi Weichen understood, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said: "I'm here, don't worry."
Chu Qing paused for a moment, then smiled brightly after thinking of something: "Do you want to lend me money?"
"No." Qi Weichen answered straightforwardly.
The smile on Chu Qing's face was quickly replaced by sadness. Qi Weichen was silent for a moment and turned his face away stiffly: "But I can take care of you." As he spoke, his ears gradually turned red.
“… Taking care of me means helping me find a place to live?” Chu Qing asked hesitantly.
Qi Weichen remained silent. Chu Qing stared at him in distress: "You are unwilling to lend me money, but are willing to help me and take care of me somewhere else. I really don't know what you are thinking."
"You really don't know?" Qi Weichen asked calmly.
Chu Qing wanted to say she didn't know, but for some reason, when she met his dark eyes, she couldn't say anything.
Qi Weichen lowered his eyes and pursed his lips for a while: "I have something to tell you."
"... I suddenly remembered that I haven't washed my clothes yet, so I won't chat with you anymore. I'll be leaving first." For some reason, she always felt that what he was about to say was what she feared the most. Chu Qing turned around and was about to run, but Qi Weichen grabbed her arm in time.
Her arm was slender, white and tender, and Qi Weichen held it as if it were a piece of lotus root. When the warmth from his palm came over, her face also became hot, and she managed to squeeze out a sentence with great difficulty: "I really have something to do..."
"Let's not break up." Qi Weichen interrupted her.
Chu Qing froze completely. After a long while, she turned back to look at him dryly, only to see him repeating seriously again: "Can we not break up?"
The moonlight is very beautiful tonight. The moonlight falls on his eyelashes, forming a small shadow under his eyes. His eyes are very dark, and his pupils, which were originally bottomless, become dark and bright because of the moonlight.
Chu Qing stared at him blankly, and after a long while she lowered her head in bewilderment: "Um... why do you suddenly want to say this?"
"I don't want to break up." Qi Weichen lowered his eyes.
Chu Qing smiled awkwardly and tried to pull her arm back, but after struggling for a few times she failed. She had no choice but to talk to him in this position: "But, but we are not suitable for each other. There is no point in insisting on this. Breaking up is the best choice."
"Suitable." Qi Weichen looked at her stubbornly.
Chu Qing paused and sighed helplessly: "Do you really think it's appropriate?"
Qi Weichen stopped talking.
Chu Qing didn't know what to say. After struggling for a long time, she decided to have a good chat with him: "Let's go to the playground. This is not the place to talk."
Although there were fewer people around, there were still some people around. If they were seen arguing with each other, they would not be able to explain themselves. Qi Weichen understood what she meant. Although he let her go and followed her out of the dormitory and walked towards the playground, the air pressure around him dropped a lot.
After finding a bench to sit on in the playground, he slowly spoke: "You didn't mind other people's eyes before."
"They were boyfriend and girlfriend before, but not now. Of course they still care a little bit." Chu Qing said casually.
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "If we're not breaking up, then don't mind it."
Seeing that he brought the topic back, Chu Qing fell silent.
After a long silence, she sighed: "When we broke up before, you didn't say a word to keep me. I guess you didn't like me that much..."
"I tried to persuade her to stay," Qi Weichen interrupted her, "but you didn't hear it."
Chu Qing's mouth twitched: "Did you try to keep me... Just assume you did. That's the problem. My IQ is too low compared to yours. Sometimes I can't even understand what you're saying. And all I want to do is fight and skip school, while you're studying for competitions. We have no common topics at all. How can we be a good match?"
Qi Weichen remained silent, but his whole body expressed resistance to her words.
Chu Qing looked at him like this, and for a moment she also had some feelings: "I understand why you want to get back together, it's because you traveled through time and came to an era you shouldn't have been to. You have no sense of belonging, and the only spiritual support you have is me, who also has no sense of belonging. I understand, I am the same, I want to rely on you when something happens."
Qi Weichen looked at her and his gaze softened slightly.
She sniffed: "But I know in my heart that this kind of dependence has nothing to do with love, it's more like a kind of trust... I'm very happy that you can trust me, really, in fact, haven't you noticed that we are more suitable to be friends, just like the way we get along now, I feel it's particularly good, much happier than when we were in love..."
Before she could finish her last sentence, she fell silent under Qi Weichen's gradually cold gaze, and unconsciously adjusted her pace with her right foot, ready to escape at any time.
"Are you unhappy when you are with me?" Qi Weichen asked coldly.
Chu Qing swallowed her saliva: "Actually, I'm not particularly unhappy, it's just that the pressure is a bit high, and I can't help but want to escape..."
"You were the one who provoked me first." Qi Weichen spoke word by word, his voice getting colder as he spoke.
Chu Qing said embarrassedly: "Yes, yes, when I was pursuing you, I didn't expect..."
"What didn't you expect?" Qi Weichen stared at her and asked.
Chu Qing laughed dryly, "I didn't expect that dating you would be so different from what I imagined." She added hastily, fearing she would hurt his feelings, "Of course you're very nice. It's my fault. I don't know what's good for me. In fact, your way of dating is very positive, but... it's not suitable for me."
As she spoke, she became a little dejected: "But I tried really hard to adapt. I went to the library with you, did exercises to please you, didn't fight, didn't skip school, and didn't contact my old friends. I tried really hard, but every second with you was so hard..."
Since they started dating, she had been trying to satisfy him, knowing that this meant sacrificing herself, but she still did it. However, it turned out that she could pretend for a while, but not for a lifetime. She was genuinely terrified at the thought of having to cut her feet to fit his shoes for the rest of her life.
After she spoke her true feelings, she was a little afraid to look up at Qi Weichen, and just waited quietly for his next words. However, after waiting for a long time, he still didn't speak. She finally couldn't help but look up at him, and was caught off guard by his gaze that had been staring at her.
Chu Qing pursed her lips and looked away silently.
"You treat our date as torture." Qi Weichen said calmly, without any emotion in his voice.
Chu Qing said awkwardly: "It's mainly because it's not the date I thought it would be..."
"But you never said that." Qi Weichen stared at her.
Chu Qing laughed dryly: "How dare I say that?" The Goddess of Learning was the most powerful person in Chengde. Being able to date her was already a great honor for her. How could she dare to have any opinions? Even if she had any opinions, she would hold them in. However, it seemed that the relationship between the two was unequal from the beginning. No wonder she always felt a huge pressure.
She sighed again and brought the conversation back to the point: "Anyway, your current thoughts are not because you like me, but because you have been through too much and need someone to rely on. Don't worry, even if we don't fall in love, we will still be best friends..."
"I don't want friends." Qi Weichen interrupted her.
Chu Qing was silent for a moment, feeling so cold that she couldn't raise her head. "Then, then I won't be your friend anymore. Give me some time, and I'll make up for the money you spent on me during this time. I really appreciate your help with the ID card, but I don't know how to pay you back. If you need anything..."
Before she finished speaking, she felt her body lighten, and when she looked up, she saw Qi Weichen walking away. Chu Qing felt indescribably uncomfortable, pursed her lips, and walked slowly towards the dormitory building.
This time everything was completely clear, but Chu Qing didn't feel happy, because Qi Weichen had really helped her a lot during this period of time. His refusal to give up someone who had done her a favor made her feel like an ungrateful person. If the first time he broke up made her feel relieved, this time she was definitely filled with guilt.
… If she had known it would be so painful, she might as well have been captured by the special research institute and become a guinea pig. She walked forward with heavy steps. When she was about to reach the dormitory door, she noticed that Qi Weichen was still standing outside the door, and she couldn't help but slow down her pace.
Unfortunately, no matter how slowly you walk, you can't be slower than not moving at all. Chu Qing hesitated for a while, and finally walked to Qi Weichen's side, looking at his cold profile, and asked with a stiff face: "Why don't you go in?"
Qi Weichen looked at her, and she suddenly shuddered and took a step back. Qi Weichen's eyes darkened, and he turned and walked towards the path next to the dormitory. There was only one place that led to the low wall behind the dormitory building, which was the only way to skip school.
Chu Qing looked at him in confusion, walked to the dormitory door and pushed it, only to be stunned when she found that the door was locked. She looked at the time on her phone, it was exactly 10:05, and the dormitory door was closed at 10 o'clock.
Chu Qing: “…” Very good, this is the best punishment for a poor woman who just had a showdown with her ex-boyfriend.
If you knock on the door and go in at this time, your name will be recorded. If the school is strict, you may be punished. Chu Qing did not hesitate and went along the path that Qi Weichen had just walked.
She walked for a while and suddenly noticed a figure in front of her. She was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Qi Weichen to have walked for so long and hadn't even walked ten meters. Could he be... waiting for her
As soon as this thought that made her feel even more guilty came up, Chu Qing's head felt like it weighed a thousand pounds, and she lowered her head and followed him heavily. The two walked in silence, one in front of the other. When they were outside the school, Qi Weichen got into a taxi. Chu Qing hesitated and did not follow him, but walked along the road next to the school.
She walked alone in a depressed manner, and soon she caught a glimpse of a taxi following her. Her scalp tightened, and she silently quickened her pace. However, no matter how fast she walked, the taxi followed her. Chu Qing's final speed was close to a jog, but the taxi was still haunting her. She tried her best not to look to the side, for fear of making eye contact with Qi Weichen who was sitting in the car.
But being followed like this without saying anything seemed to be a solution. Chu Qing, with a confused mind, cast his gaze towards the path on the side of the road.
"Get in the car." Qi Weichen rolled down the car window and spoke coldly.
As soon as he started talking, Chu Qing couldn't run anymore, so she could only stop and said carefully: "I'm not going up, you go first."
"Get in the car." Qi Weichen's tone was slightly heavy.
Chu Qing was silent for a moment, and then climbed into the back seat silently. The taxi arrived at a nearby hotel in a suffocating silence. Chu Qing paid before Qi Weichen, and then faced his cold eyes and said with difficulty: "I, I'll do it."
Qi Weichen got out of the car without saying a word. She sat in the taxi for another minute before she opened the door and got out under the driver's urging gaze.
When they got to the hotel, Qi Weichen had already got the room key. When he saw her, he gave her one and went upstairs with the other. Chu Qing stared at the key for a long time, then walked to the counter silently and returned the key: "Please cancel this room and give him the money tomorrow morning."
"You're not staying?" the front desk asked.
Chu Qing smiled embarrassedly: "Yeah."
After checking out of the hotel, she turned around and left, found a small Internet cafe, rented a private room for 40 yuan, and lay down directly in the room. Although the soundproofing in the room was not very good, there were cigarette butts everywhere on the floor, and even the small blanket covering her body looked dirty, Chu Qing felt a little better.
She had already thought about it. Since Qi Weichen only wanted to have a relationship with her and she could not satisfy him, for the sake of both of them, they should not have too much contact. It seemed that she had to find a job as soon as possible, first to earn a living, and second to save money to pay Qi Weichen back, preferably a little more, to compensate him as much as possible.
Chu Qing's mind was in a mess, and she felt uneasy even after falling asleep. In her dream, Qi Weichen was holding a knife and chasing her all night with an expressionless face. When she woke up, her nose was full of smoke and her body felt smelly. When she looked at the time, it was just past five in the morning.
Although it was still early for the dormitory to open, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she put on her shoes, opened the door and walked out. The smell of cigarettes in the hall was even heavier than in the private room. Chu Qing frowned and quickened her pace. After taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at someone sleeping on a chair in disbelief.
Perhaps it was because of the uncomfortable posture, or maybe because of something else, his brows were slightly frowned and he seemed very unhappy. But even so, he did not wake up. He must be very sleepy.
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, then walked over and poked him with her finger. Her movements were very gentle, but Qi Weichen opened his eyes immediately, looking so awake that he didn't seem to have been asleep.
He looked up at Chu Qing, paused for a moment, stood up, and walked out silently. Chu Qing quickly followed him: "When did you come?"
Qi Weichen didn't say anything.
"Was it yesterday? Or when they called me to go to school this morning?" Chu Qing asked hurriedly.
Qi Weichen still didn't speak.
Chu Qing was silent for a moment: "Are you going to never talk to me again?"
Qi Weichen glanced at her, his face looking unusually gloomy as he hadn't slept well.
Chu Qing pursed her lips and said in frustration: "Okay, I get it, I won't bother you anymore."
She was about to leave after she finished speaking, but Qi Weichen suddenly grabbed her wrist. She looked up in confusion, only to see him walking forward with a stern face, still with no intention of paying attention to her.
Chu Qing pursed her lips and struggled twice without success, and couldn't help but sigh: "Qi Weichen, I think I made it very clear yesterday."
Qi Weichen froze.
"Since you don't even plan to be friends anymore, let's keep a proper distance from now on. I will return your money as soon as possible. Before I go back to 2019... let's just be strangers." After Chu Qing finished speaking, she gritted her teeth and pried his fingers apart, causing a red circle on her wrist.
Since she couldn't be with him, she had to keep her distance from him. She had ignored this matter before and it was her fault, but she couldn't make the same mistake twice, otherwise she would become a scumbag.
Qi Weichen stared at her for a long while, then slowly said, "You can't keep your distance from me."
"Why?" Chu Qing looked at him.
Qi Weichen moved his mouth but didn't say a word. Chu Qing looked at him helplessly and turned to walk towards the main road.
The sun hadn't risen yet, and her figure was getting farther and farther away, and she was about to walk to a place where he couldn't see her anymore. The words that were difficult to say in the past, now that she was leaving, it didn't seem that difficult to say them anymore.
"Qi Muyang is our child."
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, then turned back to look at him: "What did you say?"
After saying the first sentence, the rest became much easier. Qi Weichen strode towards her and stopped one step away from her: "Qi Muyang, this is our child. We will get married in the future."
He unconsciously clenched his fists, and his usually calm expression showed a slight fluctuation: "Although I don't know when it will be, but based on Mu Yang's birth time, it should be before he graduated from college..."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, his ears gradually turned red, and even his cheeks were stained with a thin layer of red, which was completely different from his indifferent and clear eyes.
"Wait a minute! Stop blushing!" Chu Qing interrupted him and took a step back in fear. "What are you talking about?!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Mu Yang also knows about this. You can ask him directly." Seeing her big reaction, Qi Weichen calmed down instead.
Chu Qing looked at him in shock: "We are married, Qi Muyang is our son, biological son?"
"Well," Qi Weichen's expression softened, "It's not hard to guess, right? He looks like me, but his personality is very similar to yours, and his small living habits are also similar to yours..."
"No, no, no! You must have misunderstood something. I don't think it's me!" Chu Qing took a few steps back. "We broke up. I can't possibly marry you!"
She proposed breaking up because she couldn't stand spending the rest of her life with Qi Weichen, which she thought was a very boring life. It was also for this reason that she wanted to keep her distance from him. She was very determined to do this. How could she marry him again and have children with him
…Besides, he hadn’t held her hand for more than a few times in their six-month relationship, and they had never done anything intimate with each other. Even if she had suspected Qi Muyang was his son before, she thought he was born through a surrogate mother. It was absolutely hard to imagine him doing some mosaic exercises with some woman to create a life.
Chu Qing swallowed her saliva, and this time her attitude was more resolute: "It must be a misunderstanding. Qi Muyang may be your son, but he is definitely not my son. As for the similarities between him and me... You don't usually come into contact with gangsters, so you may not know that all the uneducated and cheerful high school students have similar personalities..."
"His mother's name is Chu Qing."
Chu Qing shut up instantly.
"My father's name is Qi Weichen. Do you think there would be such a coincidence?" Qi Weichen asked.
Chu Qing looked at him in a daze.
Qi Weichen lowered his eyes: "Think about it again, why did I, a 41-year-old, arrange a single room for you, but arranged a double room for myself, and happened to share a room with Qi Muyang? If there is no relationship, why do you have to embarrass yourself who doesn't like to interact with him?"
Chu Qing's pupils continued to tremble.
Qi Weichen stared at the weeds on the ground, and after a while he said calmly: "I know it's hard for you to accept, so I wanted to wait until you gave up the idea of breaking up before telling you, but I didn't expect..."
But I didn't expect that I would get the signal that she was getting further and further away. If I didn't speak up, I was afraid I would really lose her.
Chu Qing stared at him in a daze, took a deep breath for a while, and said in a deep voice after calming down a little: "I don't believe it."
"Then let's go ask Mu Yang." After seeing her resistance, the light in Qi Weichen's eyes went out, but he still spoke calmly.
Chu Qing stared at him for a long time before clenching his fists and saying, "Okay, let's go find Qi Muyang."
Qi Weichen nodded slightly, and before he could say anything, she had already stopped a taxi on the roadside and got in. He could only shut up and follow her.
When the two climbed over the wall to enter the school, the door of the dormitory just opened. Chu Qing strode in and went directly to the building where Qi Weichen lived. It was the last time the autumn heat was exerting its force. Almost everyone was wearing thin clothes, and many of them were only wearing shorts. When they saw a girl coming in, they screamed in fear.
However, Chu Qing was so angry that she could no longer care about anything else. She went upstairs with a dark face and went straight to the door of their dormitory according to her memory of the first time she delivered medicine to Qi Weichen.
Qi Weichen strode over and helped her open the door. Chu Qing went straight in and lifted the quilt of someone who was sleeping.
Someone was wearing a pair of Minions boxer briefs, and was suddenly hit like this, startling him awake. Before he could utter a single curse word, he saw who the two people were and immediately jumped up: "You two haven't changed your clothes, where did you go yesterday?!"
"Stop talking nonsense, I have something to ask you." Chu Qing frowned.
Qi Muyang realized that the atmosphere was not right. After a moment of silence, he asked vigilantly, "What's the matter?"
Chu Qing glanced at Qi Weichen, who said slowly, "I told her that you are our son."
Unexpectedly, Chu Qing also knew about it. Qi Muyang was shocked and forgot to refute for a moment.
"Are we really your parents? Don't make a mistake." Chu Qing narrowed her eyes.
In just a moment, Qi Muyang had thought "it's over" hundreds of times in his mind. Just when his psychological defense was on the verge of collapse, he suddenly remembered that he would never acknowledge their plan.
After a second, he calmed down and asked, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Mu Yang." Qi Weichen spoke coldly.
Qi Muyang shuddered and used his best acting skills to pretend to be angry: "I really don't understand, are you taking advantage of me?!"
"What are your parents' names?" Chu Qing asked in a different way.
Qi Muyang was silent for a moment, looking at them innocently: "My father's name is Qi Dazhuang, my mother's name is Guo Chunhua, is there anything wrong?"
The author has something to say: Qi Muyang: I, Qi Muyang, will die! I will jump down from here! Don’t even think about me recognizing you!
Qi Weichen: ...rebellious son
I've been waiting for a long time. Two-in-one, long one. There's no more in the evening. Please leave me a comment. There will be a long one tomorrow.
