"Maybe, he won't really want to see me..."
The woman's particularly lonely voice sounded in the empty corridor, bringing layers of echoes.
Qi Yan lowered his head, looked at her disappointed expression, and said in a low voice: "I understand. If you want to stay here and wait for him, come to my house first. If you want to leave, I will give you the things Leave it to him."
The woman thought for a long time and finally chose the latter: "My child, I'm sorry to bother you."
"No, it's not troublesome." Qi Yan said this and watched the woman get on the elevator and leave. When I got home and saw the two bags on the table, I instantly went crazy!
—Ah, Qi Yan, you little fool, what kind of mess have you made! !
But you’ve already promised me, so you have to do it, right? Qi Yan just pretended to be bored and just stopped by!
Xiao Yi didn't come back all afternoon. Qi Yan pricked his ears to listen to the sound of the door opposite, but found that there was silence outside the door.
Turning his head to look at the fruit, Qi Yan thought, if the fruit is not eaten while it is fresh, it will lose its meaning of existence...
Well, Qi Yan was just wondering if he should eat all the fruits and everything instead of Xiao Yi!
It was getting late, Qi Yan lay on the sofa and fell asleep. Xiao Yi, who was waiting on the left, didn't come back, and Xiao Yi, who was waiting on the right, didn't come back. Qi Yan, who hadn't slept in the afternoon, was already sleepy. If Xiao Yi didn't come back, he might forget about it...
Finally, around nine o'clock in the evening, the sound of footsteps and the collision of sparse keys came from the corridor.
Qi Yan's body trembled, he picked up two bags of food and slammed the door open.
"Xiao Yi! Your aunt gives you—"
Qi Yan was forced to swallow the rest of the words. He looked at Xiao Yi, whose face was flushed and smelling of alcohol, and his whole body froze on the spot.
—D-Drink? !
Xiao Yi turned around, looked at Qi Yan with a confused expression, and suddenly smiled: "Neighbor?"
"Uh... it's not me. You got it wrong." After saying that, Qi Yan was about to close the door.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi was one step ahead of him, quickly walked over to block the door, pressed Qi Yan against the door, and made the door click properly.
The hot breath sprayed on Qi Yan's cheek, causing his milky white face to turn red instantly.
"You, you, you, what do you want to do!" Qi Yan encouraged himself in his heart: "Let me go quickly! Otherwise, I, I won't let you go!"
Hearing his threat, Xiao Yi chuckled. Compared to the clear and clear tone of his voice in the past, it now contained a hint of charming hoarseness.
"Sure enough, he's so stupid even to threaten people."
"...Stupid?" Qi Yan was furious: "You say I'm stupid?! You're the stupid one! You idiot!"
"Well..." Xiao Yi responded with a nasal voice: "I'm an idiot."
His straightforward admission made Qi Yan wonder what to do.
The two of them maintained this posture for a long time. Qi Yan twisted his wrist and was about to get out of the gap, when he heard Xiao Yi's inaudible voice of joy and anger.
"What did you just say about my aunt?"
"... Well, your aunt gave you some food. You were not at home, so she left it at my place."
After the words fell, Xiao Yi fell silent.
Qi Yan looked at his reddish side face in confusion. The smell of wine penetrated his nostrils. As a pure otaku, Qi Yan wrinkled his nose and didn't like the smell very much.
Drinking is harmful to your health, just stop drinking. I don’t know whether the kind of person who drinks to death has a grudge against life or money.
"She's not my aunt."
Xiao Yi's voice suddenly came to mind, with some ethereal desolation.
"She is my father's wife."
Qi Yan paused, and a flash of understanding flashed in his heart.
The father's wife is not called mother... It is clear at a glance what the family situation is.
Qi Yan finally understood why the woman told him with a disappointed look that Xiao Yi didn't want to see her anymore.
Maybe this is half the reason why Xiao Yi moved out to live.
Qi Yan couldn't hear Xiao Yi clearly anymore. He seemed to be talking to himself after being drunk, and his voice was inaudible, as if he was holding it in his mouth.
There was a heavy weight on one shoulder, and Qi Yan bared his teeth and stared at the back of his head viciously.
—I stayed up all afternoon waiting for you! Why did you fall asleep on my shoulder as soon as you came back? !
Qi Yan dragged Xiao Yi into his home with great effort. Qi Yan originally wanted to bring him to his own home, but his small body really couldn't do it while dragging Xiao Yi while opening the door and throwing him in.
After dragging Xiao Yi to the sofa, Qi Yan gasped tiredly. After sitting on the ground for a while, Qi Yan stood up, went back to the house and covered Xiao Yi with a blanket, then returned to the room and fell asleep without taking off his clothes.
Qi Yan had a dream. In the dream, he was hunting, and a big bear was shot by him. He ran over excitedly, preparing to drag the big bear home, but found that no matter what, the big bear would not move at all, and Qi Yan was so angry... that he cried.
Yes, that's right, in the dream he cried with snot and tears.
Awakened by his dream, Qi Yan touched his face. Fortunately, it was sweat rather than tears.
I looked at the sky outside and saw that the sun had already risen, probably around eight or nine o'clock. I went to wash up as usual, then took out the bread slices from the cabinet, and took out the milk from the refrigerator, heated the pan, fried eggs and ham with bread noodles and milk... Well, it was a perfect morning.
"If you can, please give me one."
A voice suddenly sounded, and Qi Yan was startled, his brain spinning rapidly, recalling all the scenes that happened last night.
—Xiao Yi!
I saw Xiao Yi coming over with his eyebrows pinched, sitting on the bar, and said completely unceremoniously.
A cross appeared on Qi Yan's forehead: "Go home!"
Xiao Yi smiled bitterly: "Although I really want to, but last night... I may have lost my house key."
Qi Yan hadn't woken up when Xiao Yi woke up. He looked around. Although he was drunk last night, he was still there and knew a lot about what happened. No need to think, I must be at the cute neighbor's house.
Thinking that he owed someone a favor, Xiao Yi touched the keys and found that there was no key to his own door in the bunch of keys.
Recalling what happened last night, Xiao Yi felt that the key was either in the corridor outside or lost. He opened the door and scanned the corridor, but couldn't find the key... Well, very good, lost it.
It's true that bad things come in pairs.
Qi Yan rolled his eyes and put the bread and milk in front of him.
"Eat by yourself, no one will serve you."
Xiao Yi was not picky either, so he picked up the bread and started eating it.
Qi Yan fried an egg in a pan. After thinking about it, he took another egg out of the refrigerator.
A good person will do his best to send Buddha to the West.
Looking at him wearing an apron, it was hard for Xiao Yi to think that he was an otaku. With a smile on his lips, Xiao Yi's voice was full of sincerity.
"Thanks."
