When Chi Qing received Xiao Shuochen's video call, she just came out of the bathroom and went back to her room to go to bed.

All day today, what he did was the same as when Xiao Shuochen was there, but he just felt a little more boring than usual.

Chi Qing couldn't tell why.

Until the video was connected, he saw Xiao Shuochen's face on the screen.

Only then did I realize that it was just because of the lack of a person.

The other party seemed to be outside, his hair was blown into a gentle arc by the wind, and there was a warm yellow light behind him.

"Are you still outside?" Chi Qing asked.

"No." Xiao Shuochen shook his head, "On the balcony."

As he spoke, he turned away from these irrelevant topics, "Just finished taking a shower?"

In the video, Chi Qing's excessively long hair on his forehead hangs obediently behind his ears, and the ends of his hair seem to still be steamed.He should only be wearing home clothes, the top buttons were unbuttoned, revealing most of his thinned collarbone.

"En." Chi Qing responded.

Xiao Shuochen's tone was rather helpless, and he couldn't help but ask: "Blow dry your hair and fasten the buttons."

Lamenting that he really couldn't take care of himself alone, Xiao Shuochen was glad that he dialed this video.

After chatting a few more words, Xiao Shuochen confirmed that he had eaten well, and then he was completely at ease, and told him what he had been doing all day.

In the video, Chi Qing has been listening to him. Although he didn't respond much, he has been listening carefully.

When you say hello, you will forget the time. When you suddenly realized it, Xiao Shuochen looked up and saw that an hour had passed, and the time had entered ten o'clock in the evening.

Looking at Chi Qing on the screen, Xiao Shuochen felt a little guilty, "Sleepy?"

Chi Qing usually fell asleep at this time, but today she was dragged here to chat.

Just about to say something, Xiao's mother suddenly yelled in the room: "Chenchen! Where are you? Come and help mom look at this carpet!"

Raising his voice to answer her, Xiao Shuochen smiled at Chi Qing: "My queen mother has summoned me."

Seeing Chi Qing's obviously sleepy expression, Xiao Shuochen paused for two seconds before saying: "Go to bed early, remember to have breakfast tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he paused for two seconds, "Okay, hang up."

Chi Qing on the other end did not move for a long time.

Xiao Shuochen looked at him, but didn't move.

Xiao Shuochen wondered if Chi Qing forgot how to hang up the video.

But he couldn't help but make a joke: "What? Are you still reluctant to hang up?"

Seeing Chi Qing's eyelids move, Xiao Shuochen smiled and said, "Okay, I won't tease you, there is a red button under the screen, press it—"

"Xiao Shuochen."

When the words were interrupted, Xiao Shuochen was taken aback: "Huh?"

Then, he heard Chi Qing ask, "When are you coming back?"

It was clear that his voice and expression were the same as usual, but Xiao Shuochen could hear a trace of grievance from these words.

As if being hit by something all of a sudden, Xiao Shuochen felt his heart melt into a puddle of water, "Soon, I'll go back soon."

The next day.

Chi Qing got up much later than usual.

Perhaps it was because subconsciously he felt that he was alone at home and he didn't want to get up. After waking up in the morning, he stayed in bed for a long time for the first time.

He was still in the shower when the doorbell rang.

Knowing that it should be the person who delivered the food, Chi Qing opened the door without interest, and said habitually: "Many..."

Before she could say "thank you", Chi Qing maintained the posture of opening the door, stayed where she was, and blinked at the person who came.

"What? Are you scared?" Seeing his surprised look, Xiao Shuochen raised his hand in front of him in a funny way.

Stepping into the door, Xiao Shuochen pulled him in, shook the bag in his hand, "I will deliver the meal at noon today."

Chi Qing still hadn't reacted, "Why did you come back suddenly?"

He had thought it would be at least two more days.

"Come back and check the post." Xiao Shuochen joked, "See if you have eaten well."

But just after they finished speaking, the two walked to the dining table, and Xiao Shuochen saw the untouched breakfast.

Xiao Shuochen looked back at Chi Qing.

"..."

Chi Qing saw it too.

He subconsciously waved his hand to explain: "I got up late today..."

Actually no, when he heard the person delivering breakfast, he went downstairs and opened the door for them.

It's just that he didn't eat, so he continued to go back and lie down.

He really doesn't know how to lie, Xiao Shuochen couldn't bear it after hearing two sentences.

"Okay," Xiao Shuochen interrupted him, pushing him to the dining table, "If you don't want to eat, don't eat it, eat this." He went to the kitchen to pack the lunch he had just brought.

He rushed here from Xiao's old house early this morning.

What Chi Qing said last night disturbed him from sleeping well all night.

When eating, Chi Qing's appetite was obviously much better than before. Xiao Shuochen counted, and each dish had at least four chopsticks in it.

It is already a great progress.

After eating almost, Xiao Shuochen said: "I have to go after dinner."

Chi Qing paused and looked up at him.

Xiao Shuochen: "Tomorrow is my grandma's birthday, why don't I come back until the day after tomorrow."

Chi Qing looked away and gave a low "hmm".

Although he didn't say anything, his emotional changes were too obvious. Xiao Shuochen was funny and distressed, and couldn't bear to be a joke anymore, and said bluntly: "You go with me."

Xiao's old house is about two hours' drive from Nanxishan villa area. When the two arrived, Mother Xiao was discussing birthday banquet meals with Li Chao.

As a good friend for many years, Mother Xiao trusts the cooking skills of the Li family, and also trusts the ability of Li Chao, a junior.Moreover, the two families have a very close personal relationship, which has long surpassed that of friends, and is a relationship of half relatives.

It is also more reassuring to leave things to my family.

Hearing the sound of someone entering the door, Xiao's mother curled her lips and didn't look back at her son. She just said to Li Chao: "I ran out in a hurry early in the morning, and I just came back now. I don't know what can make me so busy."

Clearly speaking to Li Chao, but actually blaming himself.

Xiao Shuochen shrugged helplessly at Li Chao.

Li Chao had already seen that Xiao Shuochen did not come back alone.

The brief eye contact with Chi Qing was regarded as a greeting, Li Chao chose to stand aside, silence is golden.

"Mom," Xiao Shuochen called out, "I went to pick up someone just now."

Xiao's mother didn't believe it, "Pick up someone? Pick up who? I haven't seen you bring someone home for so many years. Who do you have to pick up?"

"..."

Being crazily buried, Xiao Shuochen had no choice but to drag Chi Qing to Xiao's mother, and pushed him in front of her, "My friend, Chi Qing, is here to celebrate grandma's birthday."

"Cut..." Only half a sound was uttered, Xiao's mother raised her head, she was stunned for a while, and then her eyes lit up.

Without the appearance of just burying her son, Mother Xiao put down her work, raised her hand to caress her temples, and smiled at Chi Qing, as if she was an elegant elder: "Are you Chenchen's friend?"

Chi Qing nodded slightly and called out, "Auntie."

Hearing his name, Li Chao was stunned, and turned his head to look at Xiao Shuochen.

Xiao Shuochen looked back calmly, and spread his hands at him.

This was discussed on the way when they came here. Chi Qing called the elders of the Xiao family just like normal juniors.

Although Chi Qing himself had lived so long that he didn't know how old he was, fortunately, Yuan was only a young man in his early twenties.

Thinking about it this way, the psychological pressure is not so great.

Xiao's mother didn't know the inside story, so she let out a very happy "hey", stepped forward to hold Chi Qing, and walked to the living room, saying, "How old are you this year? You don't look very old. You are really beautiful. How can you tell me?" Did Xiao Shuochen know each other? Can I call you Qingqing?..."

The two walked out of this room, and Li Chao walked to Xiao Shuochen's side in disbelief, and said in a low voice, "Last night's video was not enough, why did you pick him up today?"

Xiao Shuochen frowned: "How do you know about my video?"

Li Chao: "..."

Is this the point?

He explained casually: "I saw you when I was leaving last night, but you didn't notice it, of course you didn't know." Then he said: "Why did you bring him home?"

Xiao Shuochen didn't care: "Why not?"

Li Chao choked: "What kind of identity is he?"

Xiao Shuochen frowned: "I said it just now, my friend."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced in the direction where Chi Qing and Xiao's mother left, but he could no longer see anyone.

Looking back at Li Chao - the other party was frowning, hesitant to speak.

"I know what you want to say." Xiao Shuochen said, "You are worried that Chi Qing will be recognized by the guests."

Why hasn't he thought about this question? He is the last thing he wants Chi Qing to show up in front of everyone, let alone Chi Qing struggling to deal with them.

He knew that Chi Qing couldn't do it.

But Chi Qing didn't need to do it.

He will think of a good way so that Chi Qing doesn't need to communicate with humans.

After all, Xiao Shuochen couldn't bear the thought of him staying in Nanxi Mountain alone.

"You don't have to worry," Xiao Shuochen glanced at Li Chao, "If someone recognizes him and doubts his identity, I will take care of it."

Then he turned and left.

Li Chao looked at his back, speechless.

What worries me is that others suspect his identity?What I worry about is that others suspect the relationship between you!

The author has something to say: If you are worried, you should speak up!Let Xiao Shuochen worry too!
