"It's time to go to bed, what are you still wearing?" Qi Muyang said, yawning, "Dad, hurry up, I'll go to bed after I finish this game."
Qi Weichen had no expression on his face: "Put it on."
Qi Muyang looked at him blankly, and was stunned for a moment after seeing the expression on his face. He was immediately dissatisfied: "Dad, are you disgusted with me? Look at me, I am your baby!"
“…A baby who is almost 1.9 meters tall?” Qi Weichen’s eyes flashed with a trace of speechlessness.
Qi Muyang was not convinced: "Even if he grows to two meters, he is still a baby. Besides, it was you who raised me from a small child to this big now. How can you despise me?"
Qi Weichen was silent for a long time in the face of his self-righteousness and said calmly: "Don't you feel awkward?"
"Why are you so awkward? You're my dad." Qi Muyang said without thinking. Just kidding, he was still pestering his dad to take a bath and sleep with him when he was ten years old. This kind of thing was easy for him to do.
Qi Weichen looked at him: "But I don't have those memories of being with you."
Qi Muyang was stunned.
"I love you instinctively now, not based on my memory. I don't have the memory of you growing up little by little. When I knew you existed, you were already the way you are now," Qi Weichen said calmly. After speaking, he looked at her and added calmly, "Put on your clothes first. Give me some time."
Qi Muyang didn't move, but just stared at him blankly. His eyes were like an abandoned pet cat, confused and helpless, and a little confused. Qi Weichen suddenly regretted that he had said it too directly. He was silent for a moment and then explained: "I just want you to put on your clothes before going to bed..."
"I know what you mean," Qi Muyang came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and calmly put on his clothes. He restrained his hot temper and his unique coquettish personality in front of his parents. He looked cold and indifferent, more like Qi Weichen. "You are more of a responsibility to me now, and you don't have the same feelings for me as you did when you were 41 years old. I can understand. After all, although I know how much you will love me in the future, you don't know."
"Mu Yang..."
"It doesn't seem so hot anymore. I'll just go back and sleep with the window open. Dad, you should go to bed too," Qi Muyang said, and smiled at him after putting on his clothes. "Don't stay up too late. You have to get better so that you can have unlimited strength to take care of me in the future. I'm very difficult to take care of."
Qi Weichen looked at him and smiled, his lips moved slightly, but before he could say anything, he had already run away. Only the sound of the door closing reminded him that Qi Muyang had just been there.
Except for Chu Qing who slept well that night, the other two were a little insomniac, so when she got up, the house was quiet. If the two people's shoes had not been left in the shoe cabinet in the entrance, she would have thought that they had sneaked out without telling her.
She stayed in the living room for a while, sorted the things she bought yesterday, and tidied the living room again. When she finished these things, it was almost noon. Qi Weichen came out of the bedroom and nodded slightly when he saw her.
Chu Qing was stunned: "What's wrong with you?"
"Hmm?" He looked at her.
Chu Qing helplessly tapped her eyes: "Why are your dark circles so heavy? Are you suffering from insomnia?"
Qi Weichen was silent for a long while. When Chu Qing went to do her own thing, he followed her silently and tapped her shoulder with his finger. Chu Qing turned around subconsciously and was startled when she saw him appear behind her: "Why are you silent!"
"I seem to have done something wrong." Qi Weichen said lightly.
Chu Qing narrowed her eyes in confusion. Qi Weichen pursed his lips. Just as he was about to tell her what happened yesterday, he heard the sound of a door opening. They both looked over and saw Qi Muyang coming out of the room.
Qi Muyang didn't expect that both of them were there. He was stunned for a moment and then nodded: "Dad, Mom, good morning."
"It's late, it's already noon, let me cook today," Chu Qing smiled, "Why is your face so red, is it because of the pressure?"
"No, it's a little hot." Qi Muyang touched his nose.
Chu Qing said "Oh" and looked up at Qi Weichen: "You go and accompany him. I'll cook for you."
"good."
After Qi Weichen finished speaking, he walked towards Qi Muyang. However, just as he reached in front of him, Qi Muyang took a few steps forward and staggered away from him: "Mom, let me help you."
Qi Weichen stopped where he was.
Chu Qing looked between the two people and understood.
"Okay, then you come over, Qi Weichen, come too, and wash the dishes." Chu Qing called people back.
Qi Muyang pursed his lips, took a handful of green vegetables, squatted on the ground and began to pick them. Qi Weichen walked back silently and quickly washed the bowl. After standing there for a while, he saw that Qi Muyang was moving slowly, so he took the initiative to step forward: "I'll help you."
"No need, just help your mother." Qi Muyang didn't even raise his head.
Qi Weichen's outstretched hand froze for a second, then calmly retracted it. Standing in the kitchen with such a big body, not only was it a hindrance, but it also looked a bit pitiful. Chu Qing glanced at him several times, and finally couldn't help but asked: "How about... you steam the rice?"
"Okay." Qi Weichen did it obediently, but he moved too fast. It only took him a minute to wash the rice and steam it in the pot. After finishing the job, he had no intention of leaving, so Chu Qing had to find something for him to do again.
The consequence of doing this is that except for the last few stir-frying steps by Chu Qing, the rest were done by Qi Weichen.
No matter who cooked it, the meal was finally ready. Chu Qing sat at the dining table waiting for the two of them. She watched Qi Weichen sit down and pull out the chair next to her, but Qi Muyang seemed not to see it and sat down next to her.
Chu Qing raised her eyebrows and said nothing, just asked them to eat quickly. She picked up a piece of stir-fried meat for Qi Muyang with chopsticks, while Qi Weichen picked up some green vegetables.
Qi Muyang paused: "Thank you."
"Why hasn't the redness on your face gone away yet?" Chu Qing stretched out her hand towards him in confusion.
Qi Muyang dodged for a moment, leaving her hand empty: "I'm fine, let's eat."
Chu Qing: “…”Brother, you don’t look okay at all.
Qi Muyang was not in a good mood, and she didn't want to tease him anymore, so she didn't say anything else and just concentrated on eating, planning to chat with them after dinner.
However, Qi Muyang did not give her a chance. He went straight back to his room after finishing his meal, leaving only her and Qi Weichen in the living room.
"What's going on? Don't tell me you don't know." Chu Qing crossed her arms.
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment and then told what happened yesterday.
Chu Qing sighed helplessly after hearing this: "I think I said something similar before, but he wasn't that angry at the time. Is it because your expression was too cold that he thought you were angry, so he thought too much?"
"I don't know." Qi Weichen answered seriously.
Chu Qing glanced at the door that Qi Muyang closed, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "I'm going to talk to him, so don't come over yet."
Qi Weichen nodded and watched her knock on the door.
"Qi Muyang, I'm going in." Chu Qing said, and went in and closed the door. When she was about to step forward, she saw the disassembled parts on the ground and was startled, "Wow, why is your air conditioner falling apart?"
"I took it apart myself and can't put it back together," Qi Muyang said sullenly, lying on the bed, looking lazy. "I didn't tell you to come in, why did you come in?"
"What? It's okay that you're angry with your dad, but you're also angry with me?" Chu Qing sneered, kicked away the mess on the ground, and sat down next to him.
When Qi Muyang heard this, he realized that she already knew what happened yesterday. He groaned and hugged the pillow: "Don't worry about me, you are all the same, you all say nice things, but in fact you don't love me at all... No, he doesn't even want to say nice things, which is even worse."
"If I don't take care of you, who will? Sit up." Chu Qing said, and slapped him on the back.
Qi Muyang groaned: "Don't pat me, I didn't sleep well, I'm tired."
"You don't look right," Chu Qing frowned and put her hand on his forehead. She was shocked when she felt the temperature. "You have a fever, you know?"
Qi Muyang was still a little slow: "Fever? Ah... It was too hot last night, so I took a cold shower. Maybe I caught a cold."
"Why take a cold shower in this weather? You're really tired of living." After saying this, Chu Qing slapped him again and opened the door to find Qi Weichen.
Three minutes later, two people came in, one carrying a medical box and the other carrying an ear thermometer. Qi Muyang glanced at the two people, pursed his lips, turned his back to them and said, "Put the things down, I'll do it myself."
"You're just doing it yourself," Chu Qing refused rudely. She held the ear thermometer to him and took a breath of relief when she saw that the temperature was over 37 degrees. "It's less than 38 degrees. Take a fever-reducing pill and get some sleep. It should be fine."
After she finished speaking, she went out to pour hot water, and suddenly only the father and son were left in the room. Qi Weichen silently searched for the antipyretic medicine in the medicine box: "Get up and take the medicine."
Qi Muyang moved his ears, but didn't intend to pay attention to him. Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "I'm sorry about what happened yesterday."
“… I can’t blame you. You haven’t given birth to me yet, so it’s normal that you don’t love me.” Qi Muyang spoke generously, but his eyes were red.
Qi Weichen lowered his eyes: "What do you want me to do to forgive me?"
"You didn't do anything wrong, what can I forgive?" Qi Muyang sniffed and suddenly choked up, "I miss them. If they were here, things would definitely not be like this now."
Qi Weichen stopped talking and just stared at his back quietly. He felt powerless for the second time. The first time was when Chu Qing broke up with him on the last day of 2019.
When Chu Qing came in with hot water, Qi Weichen looked at her and said, "I'll go out first, you stay with him." Then he left.
Chu Qing glanced at his back and called the person on the bed to get up: "What's wrong? Are you guys quarreling again?"
"No." Qi Muyang sat down obediently, took the water and medicine and drank them.
Seeing that he was about to put the cup down after only two sips of water, Chu Qing immediately stopped him: "Drink it all."
Qi Muyang paused for a moment, and even though he didn't like it, he drank the rest of the water.
Chu Qing found it funny: "If you continue to be so obedient, I will almost forget who the little bully was when we first met."
"I'm still the little bully," Qi Muyang said, looking at her, "I just can't be the bully in front of you, you just don't know it."
He knew everything about his parents, but now his parents who stayed with him didn't understand him, which made him even sadder.
Seeing that he was in a low mood again, Chu Qing sighed and said, "That's enough, just be unreasonable for a while, don't keep going on and on."
"Why am I never-ending?" Qi Muyang's eyes were watery with burning sensation, and he glared at her without any deterrence.
Chu Qing sat down next to him and stared at him quietly. Qi Muyang felt drowsy after taking the medicine, and after waiting for a long time without getting her answer, he gradually relaxed mentally.
"He has tried very hard." Chu Qing suddenly spoke.
Qi Muyang looked at her in confusion, as if he didn't understand what she meant.
Chu Qing smiled: "Qi Weichen is like a precise computer. No matter what he does, he likes to use the most direct and simple way to get the best results. In this process, he doesn't consider other people's thoughts and feelings. I have been classmates with him for more than half a year, and I have never seen him pay attention to anyone. He is alone all day long, cold as ice..."
"What do you want to say?" Qi Muyang couldn't help but interrupt her.
Chu Qing looked at him, her eyes sparkling. "But yesterday he wanted you to put on your clothes. He could have asked you to do so in the simplest way, but he didn't. Instead, he patiently explained to you that he needed to adapt... Of course, he agreed to let you sleep with him. From what I know, this is already very unlike him to do."
Qi Muyang sniffed and said nothing.
"Before you blame him, please think about it from his perspective. If it were you, a loner your whole life, and suddenly a son of your age appeared, would you be able to do the same as he is doing now?"
After Chu Qing finished speaking, she saw that he began to think, so she sighed and patted his shoulder: "He is really trying hard to change. If he didn't love you, why would he walk towards you step by step? You may think that he is not as good as your 41-year-old father, but have you ever thought that the 41-year-old him is also the result of the 18-year-old him working hard step by step? He has worked so hard, and you still blame him. Have you ever thought that he will feel bad too?"
Qi Muyang's expression showed a hint of hesitation: "So, what you mean is that I did something wrong?"
"Of course you're wrong!" Chu Qing slapped him. "He just asked you to put on your clothes and kindly explained the reason to you. But you overthink it and deny his efforts for your relationship."
"Should I apologize?" Qi Muyang frowned.
Chu Qing glanced at him, and seeing the fatigue that could not be concealed on his face, she pursed her lips and said, "Go to bed first, and talk about it after the fever subsides."
"Will he be miserable for a while longer?" Qi Muyang worried. The kid had come to his senses and realized that he was too aggressive yesterday.
Chu Qing pushed the man down and said, "I'll tell him you know you're wrong. You can apologize to him when you wake up."
"… good."
Chu Qing sat quietly beside him for a while. After he fell asleep, she pulled the quilt for him and walked out quietly.
As soon as she went out, Qi Weichen was waiting at the door. When he saw her, he stood up straighter: "How is he?"
"I'm already asleep," Chu Qing breathed out, "The fever should be almost gone when I wake up."
"That's good." After the conversation ended, Qi Weichen showed no intention of leaving.
Chu Qing couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, I've already taught him a lesson. He knows he's wrong. He'll apologize to you when he wakes up."
"He is not wrong." Qi Weichen said lightly.
Chu Qing sighed, "Don't worry about whether he is wrong or not. Since he wants to apologize, just accept his apology and let it go. You should also be more careful in the future. Sometimes your words don't mean anything else, but in certain scenarios and under certain circumstances, it's easy to hurt others, understand?"
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay."
"It's time for me to take a nap. I won't say any more." Chu Qing yawned and went straight back to her room.
Qi Weichen stood alone for a moment, then gently opened Qi Muyang's door and walked in. He stood at the head of his bed for a moment, his eyes falling on the messy air-conditioning parts on the floor.
Qi Muyang took the medicine and slept deeply. When he woke up, it was almost evening. When he opened his eyes, his limbs were limp, and he felt weak as if he was sick. He calmed down and got up. After taking two steps, he realized something was wrong. He looked down and found that all the parts on the ground were gone.
He was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the place where the air conditioner was hung, only to see an intact air conditioner hanging there. Qi Muyang opened his eyes wide in shock, and tried to turn it on with the remote control. After confirming that everything was normal, he ran out in disbelief.
Chu Qing and Qi Weichen were sitting in the living room watching TV. When they saw him coming out, they immediately called out, "Come over and let me see if it's still burning."
Qi Muyang ran to Chu Qing, tilted his head to cooperate with her in taking the temperature, and looked at Qi Weichen with some excitement: "Dad, did you install my air conditioner?"
“It can be said that…” Qi Weichen’s eyes were a little uncertain.
As Chu Qing's body temperature rose, he immediately rushed to Qi Weichen and said, "How can you be so awesome? I thought the air conditioner was broken by me."
"Don't tear things apart randomly in the future." Qi Weichen looked at him.
Qi Muyang nodded vigorously, then realized something, coughed and lowered his head a little embarrassedly: "Dad, I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so petty and angry with you."
Qi Weichen's eyes moved slightly: "It doesn't matter."
"Then we are reconciled?" Qi Muyang looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Really reconciled?"
"Yeah." Qi Weichen responded again.
Qi Muyang immediately raised the corners of his lips, revealing his neat and white teeth: "Thank you, Dad, you are so nice. In fact, what I said today were all angry words. I know you love me."
"Yeah." Although Qi Weichen had a cold expression, he responded to every word he said.
Chu Qing, who was standing by, glanced at the temperature on the thermometer, then looked at the father and son with the same red ears, and said calmly, "The body temperature has returned to normal. The father and son's ice-breaking drama ends here. Let's eat something and play for a while, and then go back to our rooms."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang outside. The three people in the room looked out the window at the same time, only to see dark clouds rolling outside, and it seemed like it was going to rain.
"The rain comes too quickly." Chu Qing was speechless.
Qi Muyang immediately responded: "Every autumn rain brings a chill, and the weather will get colder and colder in the future."
"Even if it will be cold in the future, it won't be cold today. It's windy and we have to close all the windows. The house will be stuffy and hot." Chu Qing doesn't like rain very much.
Qi Muyang had just reconciled with Qi Weichen and was in a very happy mood: "Just turn on the air conditioner. My dad has already fixed it for me. I don't have to worry about it being hot... By the way, Dad, I remember a lot of parts fell under the bed. How did you find them?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qing also looked at Qi Weichen.
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "I didn't look for it."
"Then how come the air conditioner..." Qi Muyang didn't finish his words, a look of respect appeared in his eyes, "You can fix it even if the parts are incomplete, you are worthy of being my dad!"
"He is worthy of being called a genius. How did he do it?" Chu Qing was also shocked.
Qi Weichen's eyes slid across the faces of the mother and son who had the same expression. After confirming that they were truly praising him and not being sarcastic, he silently turned his eyes away: "Yeah."
"Dad, you are so awesome. Among those who are good at studying, you are the best at repairing air conditioners." Qi Muyang continued to flatter him.
It was raining heavily outside, and the light in the house was dim. Once all the windows were closed, it became stuffy and hot. Not long after the three of them finished their dinner, they went back to their own rooms.
Qi Muyang turned on the air conditioner and lay comfortably on the bed. After rolling around a few times, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He was stunned for a moment and then ran to knock on Qi Weichen's door.
Qi Weichen opened the door from the inside. Qi Muyang felt that the air in his room was obviously stuffy. After a pause, he said hesitantly, "Dad, did you not fix it and give me your air conditioner?"
Qi Weichen was silent, and Qi Muyang took the opportunity to run into the room. When he saw that his wall was empty, he suddenly felt complicated.
"I have already bought one online, and someone will come to install it tomorrow." Qi Weichen said lightly.
Qi Muyang touched his nose with some displeasure: "I thought you really knew how to repair it."
"It's not difficult to install the blueprints," Qi Weichen said, pausing, "but I can't reach those parts under your bed."
Qi Muyang couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I can handle it for one night. There's no need to give me yours."
"You are sick." Qi Weichen only had three words.
Qi Muyang hesitated: "But it will be hot in your room..." Then he looked at Qi Weichen hesitantly, wanting to invite him to sleep with him, but afraid that he would refuse.
Before he could finish his struggle, Qi Weichen slowly opened his mouth and said, "Can you take me in for one night?"
Qi Muyang's eyes lit up: "Are you coming?"
"Um."
"Then hurry up, it's so hot in your room." Qi Muyang pushed him to his room and said after pushing him into the room, "I'm going to wash up, you go to bed first."
"Okay." Qi Weichen's eyes relaxed.
Qi Muyang was in a good mood and went to take a shower. When he came back, he opened the door and said, "Dad, don't worry. I will definitely wear pajamas tonight..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Qi Weichen lying down, naked where the air-conditioning blanket was not covering him. His eyes widened instantly.
"Come and sleep." Qi Weichen looked at him calmly.
Qi Muyang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that it was Qi Weichen apologizing to him. After he realized it, he smiled and ran to the bed, imitating Qi Weichen to take off his clothes, and each of them was covered tightly with an air-conditioning blanket.
After turning off the lights, Qi Muyang whispered, "Dad, I love you."
"Yeah." Qi Weichen still only said one word.
But it was enough for Qi Muyang, he fell asleep with a satisfied smile. Qi Weichen lay quietly beside him, occasionally pushing down his arms and legs that unconsciously pressed on him after he fell asleep, with his eyes open and no intention of falling asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep next to Qi Muyang.
The next morning, he woke up before Qi Muyang, reached out to check Qi Muyang's temperature, and made sure that he was no longer feverish before putting on his clothes. His action woke up Qi Muyang, who groaned and stretched, squinting his eyes and looking at Qi Weichen: "Dad, good morning."
"Good morning, get up, let's go out for breakfast today." Qi Weichen said calmly.
Qi Muyang became interested when he heard this, and immediately got up and put on his clothes, and the two of them went out of the house together.
Chu Qing was drinking a cup of warm water and was surprised when she saw the two people: "Did you sleep together last night?"
"Yeah." Qi Weichen responded.
Chu Qing was puzzled: "Why?" The air conditioner in Qi Muyang's room had been repaired, and Qi Weichen's was not broken, so why were they still squeezed together
Qi Weichen was about to tell her that the air conditioner was not fixed, but Qi Muyang answered first: "I just want to sleep together. You don't understand. This is the best way for us men to consolidate our friendship."
He will protect his father's face! He must maintain his father's image of being omnipotent in front of his mother! The strong light in his eyes was transmitted to Qi Weichen, who was silent for a moment and then nodded.
“… I really don’t understand you men.” Chu Qing looked at them speechlessly, as if she was looking at two fools.
The author has something to say: Sorry to have kept you waiting! The weather is getting colder, it's time to let them go back to school, and then crazy close the relationship (Qi Shen and Qing Qing's conflict will be made clear and communicated tomorrow, and then Qi Shen can chase his wife with the help of his son, sob) and start the study mode, are you ready? !
