The result of eating too much instant noodles is that looking at the sumptuous four dishes and one soup in front of him, he couldn't eat a single bite. Qi Muyang looked at the two people who were eating with grief and anger, trying to let them know what shame meant with his eyes.
"… Why are you looking at me? When you cooked the instant noodles, you didn't even ask me if I wanted to eat it." However, Chu Qing not only felt no guilt, but also ate it very happily in front of him.
Qi Muyang was not convinced: "It was my dad who told me not to call you, what does it have to do with me?!"
"Then don't call me if he doesn't let you. It seems that I'm not that important to you." Chu Qing is very good at turning the tables.
Qi Muyang choked and was speechless. Qi Weichen, who had been quiet all this time, glanced at him and said calmly, "I asked you to wait a moment, but you insisted on eating."
Qi Muyang recalled and remembered that Qi Weichen had indeed advised him, so he was speechless again.
The kid was speechless after being accused by his unscrupulous parents. He lay down on the sofa angrily and turned on the TV lazily. Qi Weichen glanced at him, his expression unchanged.
After the meal, Chu Qing volunteered to clean up the garbage out of gratitude, and even ran to clean up the kitchen before walking out, wiping her hands.
When she came out, the volume of the TV was turned down very low. Qi Muyang was sitting upright on the sofa, not at all lazy as before. Chu Qing's heart moved: "What's wrong?"
"Sit down." Qi Weichen, who was also sitting upright, said lightly.
Chu Qing was silent for a moment, and deliberately went around to sit down at the place farthest away from Qi Weichen. The family of three formed a standard triangle in the living room.
"Is there something wrong?" Chu Qing subconsciously looked at Qi Muyang.
Qi Muyang smiled dryly: "It's okay, Dad said he wanted to watch TV with me."
Chu Qing: “?”
"Parent-child time." Qi Weichen said lightly.
Mother and son: “…” That’s not necessary.
But he didn't mention anything else, Chu Qing was relieved, leaning on the sofa with a relaxed look, quietly watching TV. Qi Muyang saw her relaxed look, and relaxed as well, secretly leaning on the sofa while Qi Weichen was staring at the TV seriously.
At first, the three of them had different thoughts and it only took them two minutes to start watching TV. However, in the fifth minute, restricted images began to play on TV.
It's really restricted.
The living room fell into deathly silence when some hmmming sounds began to come from the TV.
The family of three was speechless. Qi Weichen was the first to turn his face away. The more serious his expression was, the redder his ears became. Qi Muyang was so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into the ground. In this era of information explosion, this kind of restricted content was nothing for a child of his age, but it was a big deal if he watched it with his parents!
Chu Qing, who had no sense of being a mother or a wife, was much calmer than the other two. She just stared at the woman who was absorbed in the TV and sighed, "Society has really progressed. In my era, we could block out a kiss, but now we can actually broadcast these things directly on TV."
"Well, my head hurts a bit. I'm going to go back to sleep first." After saying that, Qi Muyang lowered his head and ran away in a hurry.
Chu Qing looked at him in confusion. When she turned her eyes away and was about to continue watching, the TV screen suddenly went black. She immediately became dissatisfied: "Why did you turn it off?"
"The electricity bill is almost gone, so save electricity." Qi Weichen said lightly.
Chu Qing: “…”
The two looked at each other in silence for a moment, and finally Qi Weichen turned on the TV silently, but switched to the animation channel. Chu Qing raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you trying to save electricity?"
"The animation channel saves the most energy." Qi Weichen was very calm.
Chu Qing: "... I don't trust you."
She wanted to grab the remote control, but her phone suddenly rang, so she had to give up and lower her head to reply to the message. Qi Weichen saw her fingers constantly typing, and she would stop from time to time to think, and then continue to reply, as if she was chatting with someone enthusiastically.
The air pressure around him dropped, but his voice was still clear and shallow: "Who are you talking to?"
"Oh, I'm from the part-time group. Contact me if you need a job distributing flyers." Chu Qing said without raising her head. After she realized that the other party seemed silent, she couldn't help but raise her head, only to see his expressionless face.
She sighed helplessly: "I know you have money, but if I keep spending your money, I will not have the confidence."
"It's not mine."
Chu Qing: "Hmm?"
"The internet cafe owner gave me 100,000 yuan, and 40,000 yuan is yours," Qi Weichen looked at her calmly, "With prices similar to those in 2019, it should be enough to support your life for more than a year."
Chu Qing: "That money is yours..."
"It's yours." Qi Weichen interrupted her.
Chu Qing opened her mouth, but before she could say anything Qi Muyang had already rushed out of the house: "Dad, do I have 40,000 too?"
"Yes." Qi Weichen nodded.
Qi Muyang's eyes lit up: "Then give me the money." After saying that, he raised his hands devoutly.
Qi Weichen looked at him expressionlessly. The two looked at each other for three seconds. Qi Muyang smiled awkwardly and retracted his hand: "Just pretend I didn't say anything..."
Qi Weichen then turned his gaze to Chu Qing. With Qi Muyang's antics, Chu Qing laughed and looked much more relaxed.
Qi Weichen looked at her, pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "The money left by the 41-year-old me is the common property of the couple paid from the family account, so half of it belongs to you at the age of 41, but I am keeping it for you. If you still feel uneasy, I can transfer all the money to you and you will be responsible for living expenses."
He had tried to keep her around financially before, but that had obviously failed, so there was no point in keeping her captive any longer.
Chu Qing looked at him in a daze. When he said that half of the money was left by her at the age of 41... why did she suddenly feel confident
"If you agree, I will transfer the money to you now," Qi Weichen said. Seeing that she didn't respond, he slowly added, "If you still feel that you are not qualified to use this money, then I am not qualified either. If you look for a job again, remember to take me with you."
Chu Qing waved her hands quickly: "No, no, no, you can't do that kind of work."
"So you agree?" Qi Weichen asked.
Chu Qing was silent for a moment: "Then, then I'll trouble you to take care of me from now on... I'll keep the money with you, just give me the necessary living expenses."
"Being responsible with your spending can help you improve your computing ability and prevent brain degeneration, which is a good thing." Qi Weichen said calmly.
Chu Qing declined: "No, I really can't do it. I only know how to spend money, not how to manage it."
"I can manage it! Mom, you forgot, when I was in elementary school, you praised me for my ability to count," Qi Muyang looked at Qi Weichen attentively, "Dad, give me the money, I will help you manage it."
Qi Weichen looked at Chu Qing and said, "It's settled then. Quit the part-time group."
"I'm really good at managing money." Qi Muyang vowed.
"Okay," Chu Qing nodded, and then asked carefully, "Can I buy some clothes? I bought a set online before, but I don't have any changes of clothes." After they came to 2042, they only had a full box of summer clothes. Now, the hot days are almost gone, and she doesn't even have a pair of autumn and winter socks.
Qi Weichen nodded: "Go and have a rest. In the evening, I will go to the mall to buy clothes first, and then go to the supermarket to do some shopping. I didn't buy too many daily necessities before because I thought you wouldn't come. Now I need to replenish them."
Qi Muyang raised his hand: "Mathematics is my only strong point. Since I was a child, some people have said that I am a math prodigy..."
"Okay, let's buy some vegetables while we're at it. I'll cook for you in the evening." Ever since Chu Qing realized that half of the money in Qi Weichen's card belonged to her future self, she suddenly felt that her life had hope.
Although she still feels unfamiliar with her future self, it doesn't matter. She will grow up well, work hard and save money, and then use the money to help her past self when she is 41 years old. In this way, even if she owes someone a favor, it is only to herself, not to others.
Thinking of this, the financial pressure that had been weighing on her for a long time disappeared instantly. She smiled and ran into the house: "I'll go back to the house and lie down for a while. Call me in advance when you need to go out later."
"money… "
"Yeah." Qi Weichen responded, and after Chu Qing entered the room, he went back to the next room.
When the second door closed, Qi Muyang was the only one left in the living room. He opened his eyes in confusion, and it took him a while to realize that he had been completely ignored since he asked for money.
He was silent for three seconds, then pounded the sofa in anger: "Why is it that no matter whether you are 18 or 41, your first reaction when you hear me asking for money is to ignore me?!"
However, a small breeze blew through the living room and no one answered his question.
Qi Muyang sat alone in the living room, feeling weak, pitiful and helpless, sulking. He decided that when they set off, he would refuse to go with them and would not eat the food they cooked.
An hour later, Qi Weichen came out of the room and saw him lying on the sofa playing games. After a moment of silence, he reminded him, "Sit still."
Qi Muyang snorted to express his dissatisfaction, and did not intend to sit down. Qi Weichen glanced at him and knocked on the door next door: "You can pack up and leave."
"good!"
When Qi Muyang heard Chu Qing's voice, he deliberately turned over very loudly. However, Qi Weichen did not look at him again, but waited quietly at the door.
Ten minutes later, Chu Qing changed her clothes and ran out, saying expectantly, "Let's go."
"Yeah." Qi Weichen responded and walked straight out the door, and Chu Qing quickly followed.
When the two were about to leave, a dissatisfied dry cough came from behind. Chu Qing paused for a moment, then looked at the sofa: "Aren't you going?"
"No!" Qi Muyang looked impatient.
Chu Qing was puzzled: "Why not go? You've been lying at home all day, why not go out for a walk?"
"If you say you won't go, then don't go." Qi Muyang had a stern face, waiting to be coaxed like an angry big cat.
Chu Qing raised her eyebrows and asked Qi Weichen in a low voice, "What happened to him?"
"Angry." Qi Weichen didn't care and continued to speak at his usual volume. After he said this, he saw Qi Muyang's ears move.
Chu Qing glanced at the guy sitting in a disorderly manner on the sofa and asked in confusion: "Why are you angry?" Wasn't he fine just now
"Because I didn't give him any money." Qi Weichen answered calmly.
Chu Qing suddenly realized, and when she looked at Qi Muyang again, she looked at him like a 40-year-old rebellious son who was still relying on his parents. She skillfully changed the subject and evaded the question of money: "You really don't want to come with us?"
"No." Qi Muyang was stubborn.
Seeing that he insisted, Chu Qing felt a little embarrassed. She always felt awkward every time she was alone with Qi Weichen, but it would be more natural if she brought Qi Muyang with her. Now that he was unwilling to go, should she let her go shopping with Qi Weichen
Just as she was hesitating whether to persuade him again or just threaten him, she heard Qi Weichen say casually beside her: "Do you want shoes?"
Qi Muyang paused.
"You have to try to buy it." Qi Weichen added.
After just two sentences, Chu Qing saw that Qi Muyang was struggling with his hair. She looked at Qi Weichen thoughtfully, and the two of them walked out directly. Just after they took a few steps, Qi Muyang caught up with them. He almost fell because he walked too fast, and finally he leaned on Qi Weichen's shoulder to stabilize himself.
"Aren't you going?" Chu Qing glanced at him.
Qi Muyang coughed and stood up straight, saying stubbornly: "I didn't want to go just now, but I want to go now, isn't that okay?"
"Okay, okay, you have the final say." Chu Qing cooperated reluctantly.
Qi Muyang was satisfied and followed the two people into the elevator. When he walked out of the building, he completely forgot about his anger and prepared to go buy shoes with an expectant look on his face.
They arrived at the gate of the community and called a car. Qi Weichen sat in the passenger seat, Chu Qing and Qi Muyang sat in the back, and the three of them discussed where to go first.
"Let's buy shoes first. New products were released two days ago. If you go too late, the size will be out of stock." Qi Muyang suggested immediately.
Chu Qing laughed: "It's a new product that came out a few days ago. If it was going to be out of stock, it would have been out of stock long ago."
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe someone wants to buy it right now. Let's go and check first. If my size is still available, we can buy it quickly." Qi Muyang tried to persuade her.
Chu Qing looked at Qi Weichen, who exchanged glances with her in the rearview mirror and said calmly, "Let's go look at the clothes first."
"You can look at clothes later. I can buy shoes quickly. Let's look at shoes first." Qi Muyang hummed with his eyes drooping. Seeing that Qi Weichen was unmoved, he immediately looked at Chu Qing pitifully.
Chu Qing was helpless: "It's all the same, whatever."
When Qi Muyang heard her say this, he thought his father would definitely not object anymore, so he looked towards the front row with anticipation, and sure enough, he saw that Qi Weichen agreed.
Qi Muyang cheered and immediately felt that his parents still loved him, so he was in a good mood all the way. After arriving at the place, Qi Weichen paid the bill and got off the car with Chu Qing. Qi Muyang was busy tying his shoelaces and was a step slower than them.
"You have a really good relationship, are you brothers and sisters?" the driver asked cheerfully.
After tying his shoelaces, Qi Muyang casually said, "No, they are my parents." After saying that, he got out of the car unconsciously, leaving the driver in a mess in the car.
The three of them finally went to look at shoes first. The unfilial descendant Qi Muyang ignored his parents as soon as he entered the shoe store. Chu Qing and Qi Weichen found a place to stand and wait.
Qi Weichen looked at her: "Do you want it?"
"No need, I have enough shoes to wear." Chu Qing said casually.
Qi Weichen nodded slightly, looked up at Qi Muyang who was chatting animatedly with the clerk, and said calmly after a moment of silence: "This is the first time I've seen him be so friendly to a stranger."
"Yeah, when he first met me, he almost fought with me over a seat." Chu Qing thought of the scene at that time and felt a little nostalgic.
Qi Weichen: "He won't hit girls."
"Even if he wants to fight, he has to be able to win." Chu Qing snorted.
Qi Weichen's eyes flickered with a wave, and he looked at her seriously: "Domestic violence is not good."
Chu Qing: “…” I don’t intend to commit domestic violence, thank you.
While the two of them were chatting nonsense, Qi Muyang encountered a very difficult situation. He looked at the new shoes in two colors, black and white, and didn't know which one to choose.
Qi Weichen noticed his hesitation and said calmly, "Buy them all."
"Really?" Qi Muyang looked surprised.
"...It's very expensive." Chu Qing frowned, not quite agreeing with this way of consumption.
Qi Muyang suddenly wilted, and looked at Qi Weichen pitifully. Qi Weichen said slowly: "Buy it, how expensive can it be?"
Since he said so, Chu Qing didn't know what to say, so Qi Muyang tactfully asked the clerk to pack it up, and he pushed Qi Weichen to pay the bill.
When Qi Weichen was paying, Chu Qing took a look at the bill and saw that the two pairs of shoes cost more than 6,000 yuan. She looked at Qi Weichen speechlessly: "Isn't this expensive?" It was almost as much as her living expenses for half a year.
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "Not expensive."
Chu Qing: “…” She used to think that Qi Muyang’s character was shaped by her, but now it seems that he is the one who spoils the child the most.
In the end, Qi Muyang got what he wanted. After paying the money, he left the shoes in the store, and the three of them went upstairs together.
When passing the second floor, Qi Muyang exclaimed, "There's a really delicious milk tea shop over here. I'll go buy some for you."
"Let's go together." Chu Qing said that she wanted to go with him.
Qi Muyang waved his hand hurriedly: "No, no, you guys go to the fourth floor to look at the clothes first, I'll be there soon."
"You and I..." Before Chu Qing could finish her words, he ran away first. She missed the best opportunity to follow him. After a moment of silence, she had to get into the elevator with Qi Weichen.
I don't know if it was bad luck, but there were only two of them in the elevator. Once the door closed, the other's presence was very noticeable in the narrow space, making people both concerned and uncomfortable.
"Don't want to be alone with me?" Qi Weichen looked at her indifferently.
Chu Qing's mouth twitched: "... No."
Qi Weichen was silent and took a step towards her. Chu Qing subconsciously took a step aside and looked at him in shock: "What do you want to do?"
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "What are you afraid of?"
"Who, who is afraid of you, I just don't want to be so close." Chu Qing said, her eyes accidentally fell on his lips, and her face was immediately filled with heat.
Qi Weichen looked at her flushed face, his Adam's apple moved unconsciously, and after a while he asked in a deep voice: "Are you thinking about it again?"
"What are you thinking about?" Chu Qing looked at him puzzledly, and the next second his lips came up to hers, but this time he kissed her forehead, and he left after just a light touch.
Chu Qing: “…”
"This is a public place, please be careful of the impact." Qi Weichen said seriously with red ears.
Chu Qing exploded: "Isn't it you who should be the one saying this? Didn't you understand what I said to you yesterday? Don't take advantage of me in the future, okay?! We have broken up now, broken up!"
The elevator was obviously very small, but she still shouted the last three words so that it made an echo. It was quite intimidating, but her face was rosy and her eyes were watery, and she looked more shy than angry.
Qi Weichen was silent for a long time: "I'm sorry, I thought you were hinting at me."
"… Who hinted at you?!" Chu Qing stared. A small patch of skin on her forehead was clearly just touched lightly, but at this moment it was burning hot.
"Just now," Qi Weichen looked at her and stretched out his slender fingers to touch his lips, "you looked at me here with a blushing face."
Chu Qing: “…”
"I can solve difficult math problems, but I'm not good at guessing emotions," Qi Weichen said, pausing for a moment. "Sorry."
Chu Qing felt that she should be very angry, but he spoke to her with a cold face and red ears, and she couldn't get angry at all. She coughed and said with a stern face: "Don't guess in the future. I don't want you to kiss me."
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "Why?"
"Because we've broken up," Chu Qing looked at him as if she had seen a ghost, "After we've broken up, how could I still want you to kiss me?"
"We will make peace," Qi Weichen looked at her calmly, "otherwise how could I give birth to Qi Muyang?"
Chu Qing was speechless.
After choking for a long time, she decided to vent her anger on the elevator: "What kind of lousy elevator is this? Why is it so slow?"
"Because I didn't press the floor button." Qi Weichen said, and calmly pressed the fourth floor button.
Chu Qing: “…” She shouldn’t have come out today.
As soon as the elevator door opened on the fourth floor, Chu Qing strode out, and Qi Weichen followed behind with a blank expression. Chu Qing ignored him and went to several stores. Her mood had recovered. She found one that suited her, so she walked in and started looking at clothes.
Qi Weichen followed her calmly, and when she had picked out her clothes and was about to go in to try them on, he stepped forward and said, "Give me your phone."
Chu Qing glanced at him, and when she saw that his ears were still red, she was speechless. If someone didn't know, they would think that she was the one who was being naughty just now.
She handed all her belongings to him and went in with her clothes to change. When she came out of the mirror, she looked at her fair skin and nodded with satisfaction.
"This dress suits you very well. Of course, you have fair skin and good looks, so you look beautiful in anything. Why don't you try our new long dress? It will be very beautiful when you go on a date," the clerk praised with a smile, "Your boyfriend will definitely like it. Do you want to put it on and let him see it?"
Chu Qing smiled awkwardly: "I don't have a boyfriend."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Weichen came over, looked at her in the mirror and gave a fair evaluation: "Looks good."
The clerk next to her chuckled. Chu Qing glared at him in embarrassment. After the clerk went to get her another skirt, she lowered her voice and asked shyly, "Did you do this on purpose?"
"What?" Qi Weichen's gaze moved from her in the mirror to her face in reality.
Chu Qing met his clear eyes and realized that he didn't hear what the clerk said, so she snorted and stopped talking. The clerk had already tacitly accepted the relationship between the two of them, and brought the clothes over with a smile. When Chu Qing went in to try them on, he smiled politely at Qi Weichen: "Your girlfriend is so beautiful."
"Yeah." Qi Weichen, who always kept people at a distance, rarely responded.
The clerk immediately flattered: "It's obvious that you two have a good relationship. You must have been dating for a long time. You seem to have a good understanding of each other."
"Not bad." Qi Weichen simply agreed.
The clerk wanted to say something, but when he saw someone coming to the door, he hurriedly greeted, "Welcome."
"I'm with them." Qi Muyang was drinking a cup of milk tea in one hand and holding two drinks in the other. After talking to the clerk, he looked at Qi Weichen and said, "There are too many people lining up. I just bought it now. Where's she?"
When he is outside, he will resist the urge to call mom and dad.
"Still trying on clothes."
As soon as Qi Weichen finished speaking, Chu Qing came out. This time she changed into a lotus pink sweater and a gauze skirt that was an inch above her ankles. The light-colored combination seemed to have its own soft light, making her look much gentler.
Qi Weichen stared at her steadily, his gaze was hard to ignore. Chu Qing pursed her lips, and couldn't help but lower her head when he looked at her. The clerk kept praising how well the dress suited her, and Qi Weichen also said lightly: "It looks good."
Only Qi Muyang focused on the milk tea. He glanced at Chu Qing and sighed, as if he was used to it: "You look so familiar. I don't find anything new in you."
The clerk laughed and said, "Can you be more familiar with them?"
"If it's the other two, then definitely not, but these," Qi Muyang chuckled, "I am indeed more familiar with them."
The clerk didn't quite understand what he was saying, so he just smiled and agreed. Qi Muyang was so proud that he accidentally used too much force with his hands, squeezing out some of the milk tea. Chu Qing looked at him speechlessly, took the tissue from Qi Weichen's hand, and seeing that it was inconvenient for him to hold the milk tea, she gave up the idea of giving him the tissue and directly lowered her head to help him wipe his hands: "How old are you, can't you be more careful?"
"I didn't mean it." Qi Muyang sniffed and spoke aggrievedly.
Chu Qing glanced at him and threw the paper into his hand: "Wipe it yourself."
"It's got on my face too, can you help me wipe it off?" Qi Muyang said as he leaned over to let her help wipe it off.
Chu Qing looked at the guy who was pushing him too far and couldn't help but laugh: "I advise you not to go too far."
"I really can't see." Qi Muyang frowned, but in fact he was just too lazy to look in the mirror.
Chu Qing snorted and quickly wiped his face with a tissue, and Qi Muyang was satisfied. When the two people were interacting intimately, the clerk stood aside in amazement, looking at the intimate two people for a while, and then looking at the calm Qi Weichen. After a long pause, a question popped up in his mind -
Is this world crazy
