Qi Muyang, who betrayed in a second, didn't feel ashamed at all. He jumped in front of Qi Weichen like a fool, squatted on the ground and supported his knees, and boasted to him seriously: "Dad, although there are many photos of you and mom when you were young at home, the photos cannot fully reflect your looks. I always thought you were not as good-looking as me when you were young, but now I think I was wrong."
"Are you panicking now?" Qi Weichen remained unmoved and ruthlessly exposed his tactics.
Qi Muyang originally wanted to praise his father first so that his father would feel embarrassed to argue with him about the previous matter. Unexpectedly, his father was still the same father. Even though he was only eighteen years old, he was not easy to fool.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly grabbed the corner of Qi Weichen's clothes, whining and acting like a spoiled child: "Daddy, you have to give me some time. I suddenly sit in front of and behind my dad. How much tolerance do I have to bear to accept this? Besides, I recognize you now, so don't be angry, hehe..."
“…Who did you learn this from?” There was a slight fluctuation in Qi Weichen’s voice.
Qi Muyang paused and said sincerely, "With mom, normally if she did this, you wouldn't scold her."
If he hadn't found this method to be the most effective, how could he, as a cool guy, repeatedly act cute in front of his dad without any conscience? But just now, after he finished acting cute, he realized that his dad's age didn't affect his performance at all. He would probably be able to hum even if his dad was ten years younger.
"Oh." Qi Weichen had actually guessed it when he asked, but when he heard Qi Muyang admit it himself, his ears still turned slightly red.
Seeing that he only had one word, Qi Muyang couldn't help but ask, "Dad, you're not angry with me anymore, are you?"
"Yeah." Qi Weichen responded.
Qi Muyang immediately said: "It's good that you are not angry. Then don't settle accounts with me again in the future."
Qi Weichen glanced at him and said, "Go wash up."
"Okay." Qi Muyang went to take a shower immediately after hearing that. When he came out, Qi Weichen was already lying on the bed.
Before they met, he didn't dare to stay up late to play games. Now that their relationship has been made clear, he naturally doesn't dare to do that. So after blow-drying his hair, he obediently turned off the lights and lay in bed waiting to go to sleep.
Just half an hour ago, it suddenly rained outside and the temperature dropped, so I turned off the air conditioner and opened the windows for ventilation today.
The wind after the rain blew into the house, and the slightly cool feeling made people feel comfortable. Qi Muyang turned over comfortably, with a thin air-conditioning blanket on his body, and the whole person was lazy.
"Chu Qing and I... have we had a good relationship over the years?" Qi Weichen's cold voice rang out in the darkness.
Qi Muyang hummed, yawned and said casually: "Very good, inseparable, so when I thought you and mom were illegitimate children at first, I was very surprised."
"But you accepted it quickly." Qi Weichen commented.
Qi Muyang chuckled: "It's mainly because I feel safe. I know that you and mom will not be separated, and I know that your love for me will not change. So even if there is an illegitimate child, it can't take away my family and my parents."
"A sense of security is rare, and you have been well raised." Qi Weichen said lightly.
Qi Muyang snorted: "Are you bragging about yourself?"
Qi Weichen stared at the ceiling quietly, and his expression softened when he heard this: "Your personality is not like mine, it's because your mother raised you well."
"You are fine too." Qi Muyang was a little sleepy, and his voice gradually became unclear.
Qi Weichen stopped talking and was thinking about something quietly. After an unknown amount of time, he heard Qi Muyang's even breathing. He then closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
The next day was the first day of the October 1st holiday. The school stipulated that students could leave school within one day, so most people could sleep until they woke up naturally and then slowly pack up their things to leave.
Normally Qi Muyang would have some time to sleep in, but when the holidays came, he was not sleepy at all. He got up early in the morning, opened the closet door, rummaged through the clothes, and packed up all his summer clothes to take home.
"Remember to take your shoes back with you." Qi Weichen reminded calmly.
Qi Muyang said "Oh", took a few pairs of summer shoes with him, and quickly packed a large box. When he was done, he looked back and saw that Qi Weichen hadn't moved yet. He couldn't help but be curious: "Why aren't you packing?"
"Wait a minute." Qi Weichen was holding his cell phone and texting Chu Qing, asking her to pack up and go home with him. Hearing this, she simply replied.
Qi Muyang couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a place to live?"
"Yes, I rented a house."
"When?" Hasn't he been in the dormitory all the time
"I rented it a while ago. The last time I asked for leave was to go out and buy some things," Qi Weichen paused and looked up at him. "It has three bedrooms and a living room. You can move in."
Qi Muyang just remembered that he didn't come to school that morning, and the next second he heard his words, and was immediately horrified: "Why should I move there?!"
"Because I don't want to move to your house. That's the life I should have in the future, and I don't want to overdraw in advance." Qi Weichen's reason was very simple.
Qi Muyang immediately said, "Then don't live together! You live in the house you rented, and I'll go back to my home."
"No." Qi Weichen refused.
Qi Muyang was dissatisfied: "Why?"
"Families should live together."
Qi Muyang: “…” You don’t want to overdraw your future life, but you also want your family to be together. Don’t you think this is contradictory
Qi Weichen also realized it, and after a moment of silence, he exercised his fatherly authority: "I'm your father, listen to me."
"... I don't," Qi Muyang struggled, "I like my own home and don't want to live in a rented house."
Just kidding, he has no money and can't go to the Internet cafe. It's already miserable now. He wants to make up for it by playing games at home day and night. If his father comes home with him, how can he play games day and night? What's more, he might ask the treacherous ministers to play games at home in the future. How dare he do that when his father comes
Seeing that he was unwilling, Qi Weichen was about to speak when his phone buzzed. He then looked and saw that it was a text message from Chu Qing. Although it was only text, it still revealed fear: Why should I live with you? !
Well, on this point, the mother and son had the same reaction.
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment, then called Chu Qing directly. The other party seemed to know that he would call her, and the phone rang once before hanging up. Qi Weichen continued to call with a blank face, and the other party continued to hang up. After repeating this three times, Qi Weichen sent her a voice message with a blank face: "If you hang up again, I will come to find you."
Not long after he finished speaking, Chu Qing took the initiative to call him. Qi Weichen's eyes moved slightly, and he answered the phone as soon as it rang: "Why don't you live with me?"
"… Well, well, thank you for your kindness, but the main thing is that I already have a place to live." Chu Qing said dryly.
Qi Weichen paused: "Where?"
Chu Qing swallowed her saliva and said, "I'll find an Internet cafe for a few days, or a small hotel..."
"No, it's too messy." Qi Weichen refused.
Chu Qing said embarrassedly: "It's okay, with my skills, I'm safe anywhere."
"If you don't want to live with me, I can stay in a hotel and you can stay at home." Qi Weichen said lightly.
Chu Qing said hurriedly: "No, no, I won't bother you..."
"You're causing me trouble if you stay at the Internet cafe," Qi Weichen interrupted her slowly, "I don't want to stay outside the private room all night."
Chu Qing was stunned. Although she had seen him resting on a chair in the Internet cafe that day and had vaguely guessed that he was here to see her, she had never expected that he would actually wait at the door all night. Her heart skipped a beat, and she could no longer say no.
The people on both ends of the phone were silent, and their son could only judge what happened through his father's side because he couldn't hear his mother's words. So at this time, the caring leather jacket came online in time: "My mother has no place to live? Then come with me."
"Yes, yes, I'll go find Qi Muyang to stay with me, that's fine." Qi Muyang's voice came through the microphone to Chu Qing's ears, and Chu Qing immediately agreed. If nothing else, at least getting along with Qi Muyang is more comfortable.
Hearing her say this, Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "He is better than me?"
Qi Muyang: “…” Dad, don’t ask such embarrassing questions. You haven’t become her regular employee yet, but I will always be her baby.
Qi Weichen seemed to realize that Chu Qing would not be able to go home with him, so he remained silent for a long time and finally compromised in a low mood. However, when he walked out, his whole body seemed to be covered with frost, and Qi Muyang shivered with cold.
Although he knew his dad was unhappy, Qi Muyang was strong enough not to agree to the three of them living together. In addition to the winter and summer vacations, this was the only vacation he had, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity to have fun with his friends. Although he had to bring a younger version of his mom home, he couldn't be as unrestrained as he was at home, but his mom wouldn't mind him!
When the two of them walked downstairs side by side, Chu Qing was already waiting outside with a backpack on her back. When she saw them, she waved awkwardly.
Qi Muyang hurriedly dragged his suitcase to her side and waved to Qi Weichen like her: "Goodbye."
"I'll take you there." Qi Weichen said calmly.
"Need not!"
"We can just go on our own!"
Realizing that they were speaking in unison, Chu Qing and Qi Muyang smiled awkwardly, said a few more words of farewell, and ran away. The two ran quite far away, and Qi Muyang couldn't help but look back, and saw Qi Weichen still standing at the gate, looking in their direction, looking a little... pitiful.
"Mom, isn't it a bit bad for us to treat him like this?" Qi Muyang asked with a guilty conscience. The more he looked at his father, the more he looked like a left-behind elderly person.
Chu Qing turned away uncomfortably: "Well, then when you are free, you can go and accompany him."
"Oh, okay." Qi Muyang stopped thinking about it and went to the school gate with Chu Qing, took a taxi and went straight home.
Chu Qing didn't feel very excited about going to her home 23 years later. In fact, she still had no sense of involvement. Except for a vague sense of closeness to Qi Muyang, everything else had little to do with her.
But although she was calm on the way, she was still a little shocked when she got home: "Am I so rich 23 years later? I can even afford to live in a large flat!"
"It's okay. We used to live in a villa, but it was too far from my school, so we moved here." Qi Muyang threw the box aside as he entered the door and reached out to press the light switch.
No movement.
He was stunned for a moment, then pressed the button again, but there was still no movement. Chu Qing was puzzled: "Is there a power outage?"
"… That shouldn't be the case. The elevator has electricity. I'll go check the water," Qi Muyang said as he trotted to the kitchen. After turning on the faucet, he found that the water was also cut off. He couldn't help but walked out with a headache, "The water and electricity are out."
"Call the property management and ask." Chu Qing suggested immediately.
Qi Muyang responded, found a phone number and called the property management. After explaining the situation to them, the other party quickly gave an answer.
"Oh, you are the son of Mr. Qi Weichen on the 14th floor of Building A. Hello, I'm Xiao Zhang from the property management. Your father called us two months ago and said that the water and electricity will be cut off from September and will be restored after he returns from his business trip."
Qi Muyang: “…”
Chu Qing: “…”
“By the way, he also asked me to bring you a message,” said the property manager.
Qi Muyang immediately asked: "What?"
"He asked you and the person next to you to give up resistance and obey him."
Qi Muyang: “…”
Chu Qing: “…”
