Self-reliance

Zhou Zui was still lying there, breathing evenly, completely different from the past.

Zhou Zui was really not used to him like this, that person seemed to be always in good spirits, Ji Qin couldn't figure out how he made himself like this.

However, at this time, he looked harmless to humans and animals.

This night, Ji Qin didn't turn on the air conditioner very low, it was a little hot, but Ji Qin was considerate of the drunk next week for the first time.

Ji Qin closed his eyes.

It's really hard to get used to--

No one else has ever slept on Ji Qin's bed.

Ji Qin had many lovers, but they were all in hotels.

In fact, no one has even entered the house.

However, this week Zui seems to have invaded his private space more and more deeply, entered the house, then stayed permanently, came to the bedroom, and now he is sleeping quietly beside him.What made Ji Qin even more uneasy was that he didn't seem particularly disgusted.If he doesn't like it, no one can make him compromise.Ji Qin thought, so, what's next?Where does Zhou Zui want to go?How should I react?

He felt a little drowsy in a daze, and then, half asleep and half awake, he vaguely felt that someone said that he was hugging him in his arms. That embrace was hot, and for some reason, Ji Qin felt a warm feeling.

……

The next day, when Ji Qin opened his eyes, he felt something was wrong.

Zhou Zui was hugging him tightly behind him, kissing the back of his neck lightly.

"..."

Zhou Zui didn't realize that he was awake at all, and he was still taking advantage of it unscrupulously.

"...Go away."

"Oh……"

"what are you doing?"

"me?"

"nonsense."

"Oh," Zhou Zui replied, "Practice..."

Ji Qin sat up, frowning: "Practice what?"

"My cousin said that the two of us always feel unnatural..." Zhou Zui rested on the bed with one arm pillowed next to his ear, still flamboyantly lying on his side.

Ji Qin sarcastically said, "You are serious enough."

"This thing is very important." Zhou Zui said again, "I don't want to be sold by my cousin."

"Humph."

"I've always been serious about what I want to accomplish."

That's true, Ji Qin thought in his heart.Although Zhou Zui seemed to be careless, he was reassuring when he did things.It will not be unclear about priorities, and it will not be indifferent.

"correct……"

"Huh?" Ji Qin responded casually.

"I said, when I see my cousin in the future, can you cooperate?"

"I'm not cooperative enough?" Ji Qin couldn't believe it.He has already made such a sacrifice, no matter how Zhou Zui treats him this week, he can hold back and not get angry, and he has always tried his best, which has never been done before, and Zhou Zui is still not very satisfied.

"It might not be right to say that..." Zhou Zui said again, "You are indeed very cooperative, you never exposed me to my face... But, this alone is not enough, you still have to play a role..."

"what?"

"It's not just about not saying a word and not exposing me." Zhou Zui added, "I also need you to help play this drama to convince her."

"..."

"You just froze all the time...never did anything a lover would do."

"..."

"Never took the initiative to say intimate words or do intimate things."

"..."

"It looks so fake. My cousin doesn't believe it."

"..."

"That's why she said it was very unnatural."

"..."

"She's a little suspicious...you can help me again."

"..."

"Quickly resolve this matter, so that it can be over."

Ji Qin was right after thinking about it.If Cousin Zhou Zui still doesn't believe it, then I don't know how long it will take to pretend.It takes a while to get away.

So Ji Qin asked coldly: "What do you want me to do?"

"Oh, it's very simple." Zhou Zui smiled again, "Just do what a lover would do and say something a lover would say. For example, take the initiative to pull my arm."

Ji Qin frowned.

"Or take my hand."

"..."

"Say something sweet."

"……Um?"

"Show us that we love each other."

"I won't." No matter which lover he was facing, Ji Qin never tried to please him.

"Okay, I'll teach you." Zhou Zui sighed, "That is, when I say something, can you stop being silent all the time..."

"Oh?"

"It's like..." Zhou Zui thought for a while, "When I was waiting for Xinxin that day, I asked you what you would like to eat for dinner, but you stood there and didn't respond at all."

"Then how should I react?" Ji Qin didn't understand at all.

"Hmm~" Zhou Zui said, "You can say, as long as it's made by you, I like to eat anything."

Ji Qin only felt a gust of cold wind blowing past, and couldn't help shaking violently.

Obviously the air conditioner is not turned on too much...

"Let me give another example." Zhou Zui said again, "If I say that I need to go out to deal with something at night, you can answer, Xinxin and I will wait for you at home~"

"...Zhou Zui."

"...Huh?" Zhou Zui was completely intoxicated by his own imagination and couldn't get out.

Ji Qin said forcefully: "Don't dream."

"Oh……"

"I'll do my best to help you, but those are impossible."

"Oh..." Zhou Zui touched his nose.

"..."

"...?"

"Save those nasty words and say them with someone you like." Ji Qin didn't know why he suddenly thought of this.

Yesterday, Zhou Zui said that he was envious of the prince and princess in fairy tales, because they can always fall in love at first sight.When Ji Qin dismissively said that there are still few people who fall in love with you at first sight, Zhou Zui said that his relationship is very difficult, because the person he likes doesn't know what he likes.This was completely beyond Ji Qin's expectation, a person like Zhou Zui would worry about such a thing... In Ji Qin's impression, Zhou Zui is always sunny and keen on having fun, especially new things, Ji Qin thought that Zhou Zui would play around in the world all his life and never hang around on the same person.

In fact, Ji Qin cared a little bit, and he didn't know why he cared a little bit, what did Zhou Zui have to do with him.Not to be curious, because Ji Qin didn't want to know who that person was, and even felt a little anxious, but this matter itself still made him care a little bit.

"That..." Zhou Zui said, "It is probably impossible for him to cooperate with me..."

"Hmph." It turns out that someone really can make him deflated.

"Even if it is possible in the future, there is still a long way to go..."

"I said," Ji Qin asked again, "when do you want to let him know?"

"Let's see the timing."

"If that person doesn't accept you from the beginning to the end, what are you going to do in the end?"

"Hmm..." Zhou Zui thought for a while, then suddenly laughed, "Crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself?"

"..."

"Similar to this, there are hunger strikes and so on."

"..." Ji Qin didn't know that Zhou Zui still had this hobby, and he liked to use some methods that shrews used to.

"...?"

"Can't you have a little self-esteem?" This is the most important thing for Ji Qin, no matter what he has, he will never let go of his arrogance.

Then, Zhou Zui smiled and said, "I never have this thing."

"..." That's right, Ji Qin thought, if there is a competition in the world to see who has the thickest skin, Zhou Zui will definitely win the championship.

"But I don't think it will be so miserable." Zhou Zui said again, "Although this road is very bumpy, there should still be a good result in the end."

"Oh?"

"Because," Zhou Zui didn't seem to look anywhere, "I'm the only one in this world who exists here for him."

"..."

"It's a bit strange to say that. It's probably like the ribs on the body and the wings on the other side in various legends. So it's destined to be by his side. I guess he won't feel it."

"...You are too confident."

"Don't you believe such things?"

"Of course not." Ji Qin never felt this way, it was really ridiculous, and such a stupid thing obviously didn't exist.For such a long time in the past, no one could give Ji Qin the desire to live together.Although there are many lovers of all kinds, they are all just passing by.

"I didn't believe it before." Zhou Zui laughed again, "But now I feel like it really is."

"Then go find it." Strangely, just like yesterday, Ji Qin didn't want to continue this topic.

That was Zhou Zui's own business, and it had nothing to do with him, Ji Qin, and, for no apparent reason, he felt a little uncomfortable talking about it.

"Okay." Zhou Zui said, "Then let's go back to the topic just now. When I meet my cousin next time, try to pretend to be the same."

"..."

what a hassle...

Ji Qin didn't know what to say about cheating his cousin.When he first agreed, Ji Qin didn't expect that he would see Zhou Zui's cousin so frequently, because the two of them had never met before, and Ji Qin thought it would be easy to deal with, but he didn't. Anticipating endless troubles, today it is necessary to deal with it with such full strength.However, although it is very troublesome, it is not a big deal.In order to make Xinxin happy and help him get used to Xinxin as soon as possible, Zhou Zui spent a lot of time here, for which Ji Qin is grateful.If Zhou Zui hadn't been there, Xinxin might still be in this new home, because he didn't know how to arouse his interest.Ji Qin knew that Zhou Zui had spent a lot of thought, time and energy, and that overcoming that difficulty was really very important to Ji Qin, and it could even be said to be the most important thing for him in the past 30 years , Ji Qin will not ignore Zhou Zui's efforts.So, now, Zhou Zui needs his help to get rid of a trouble that came to him, Ji Qin will naturally not refuse, even if it is difficult for him to do well, Ji Qin will try his best, he is not It's the kind of person who only asks for it unilaterally.

Thinking of this, Ji Qin suddenly realized that Zhou Zui had stayed at his home for too long.

Xinxin is much better than at the beginning, even if she is not drunk, the problem is probably not too big.Zhou Zui can actually go back to his house, there is no need to stay in this house anymore.

The two of them, father and son, can get along alone.

So Ji Qin said to Zhou Zui, "When are you going back to your house?"

"……Um?"

"Actually, you can go back."

Zhou Zui still said: "...Huh?"

"I should have no problem with Xinxin."

"No." Zhou Zui smiled and put his arms around Ji Qin's waist, then rubbed his hair coquettishly, "I don't want to go back."

"……why?"

Zhou Zui said again: "Because I like you and Xinxin so much."

Ji Qin looked at Zhou Zui in surprise.

He was not sure what Zhou Zui's words meant.

After much deliberation, it probably refers to "friends".Or, his curiosity about this place is still there.

Ji Qin has been deceived by him since he was a child, and he can't tell which Zhou Zui's sentence is true and which is false. In the end, he regards everything related to himself as false. It may be a waste of time and energy.

Zhou Zui was still lying on the bed.

Ji Qin glanced at him again.Zhou Zui should still have a fever, his cheeks are still flushed, his eyes are still blurred, it really has a different smell.But if he is deceived by his current appearance, he will definitely regret it in the future.

"Are you better?" Ji Qin asked again.

"Still dizzy."

"Ah."

"It's better than last night, though."

"Hmm." Sure enough, the disaster resilience will be amazing.Zhou Zui took some medicine last night, it should have some effect.

After a pause, Ji Qin asked again: "How did you make it like that?"

"Oh..." Zhou Zui said honestly, "Yesterday I went to play tennis. After I came back, I took a shower. It was cold because the hot water system failed. Because I was really tired... I slept on the sofa for a while , turn on the air conditioner in the living room a little bit, and I will get sick..."

Ji Qin snorted: "Why don't you turn off the air conditioner?"

"You and Xinxin are taking a nap." Zhou Zui said again, "Turn it off and you will wake up from the heat."

"..." After ten seconds, Ji Qin looked away from Zhou Zui and asked very stiffly, "Are you mentally handicapped?"

"Retarded?" Zhou Zui carefully understood the word, "No one has ever described me like that..."

"Humph."

"By the way, can you go prepare breakfast?" Zhou Zui asked.

"……Um?"

"Xinxin is about to wake up and has to go to kindergarten."

"..."

"I have a fever……"

Zhou Zui looked a little pitiful at this time, and it was a bit too much for him to be a nanny again.

"Okay." Ji Qin said, "What's there?"

"Let's keep it simple." Zhou Zui replied, "Hot milk, steam some buns, boil an egg. You haven't done it before, these things are enough."

"...Okay." After Ji Qin finished speaking, he got dressed and got out of bed.

Ji Qin didn't know how Zhou Zui did it, he could only use a microwave to heat milk.

The time seemed to be a bit long, some condensation appeared, and there was a layer of milk skin on the surface. Ji Qin didn't know if he could eat it, so he finally scooped up the layer with a spoon.The remaining ones... look like they should be fine.

Then Ji Qin steamed some steamed buns.

He has been watching carefully, making sure that the time will not be too exaggerated.However, when I finally brought them out, I still found that the buns were all stuck together, and I tried to divide them without success. Finally, Ji Qin roughly separated them, and each bun had at least one hole, and it was soupy. Flow out.

Finally, Ji Qin boiled a pot of hot water, washed a few eggs, and threw them into it.In less than a minute, the eggs were all cracked.

"..." Ji Qin was so angry that he wanted to curse.

He didn't know that it was necessary to put the pot in cold water and cook slowly with a relatively small fire.If the fire is too high and the heating is too fast, the eggs will be heated rapidly and easily burst.

I don't know how long it took to cook, Ji Qin estimated that it was not too much, so he fished them all out.

Those eggs were very hot, and it took a lot of effort to peel off the shells. Ji Qin worked for a long time, but he didn't remove much, because it was really hot.But the eggs are all broken into small pieces, and each small piece is still connected with the egg white. When it is peeled off, a piece of white will always be taken away. The whole egg looks like the surface of the moon, with pits and pits, which is terrible.

Ji Qin thought for a while, then rinsed it with cold water.

Not only is it not hot, but the crust is surprisingly easy to remove.

"Don't do this..." Ji Qin suddenly heard a voice.

Looking back, he found that Zhou Zui had already come down.

"...?"

"When a boiled egg is put into cold water, the inside will shrink violently, and a vacuum gap will be formed between the egg white and the egg shell, and the egg white shell will automatically separate, so that it will be easy to peel the egg... However, the natural inside the egg shell The protective film of the egg has been destroyed during boiling, and then rinsed with cold water, the inside of the egg will shrink, and the bacteria in the water will be absorbed into the egg by the negative pressure, which is not clean and very bad.”

"..."

"Don't take it out after turning off the fire, just take it out after the water becomes warm. Or take it out and let it cool down naturally, it's fine."

"..."

Zhou Zui sighed: "I'll do it in the future, you and Xinxin just wait."

"..."

Ji Qin originally thought that Zhou Zui would be very dissatisfied, but during breakfast, Zhou Zui suddenly said: "I feel so happy now."

"...Huh?" Happiness when you have a fever?

"I actually ate all kinds of things you prepared yourself."

"..."

"I guess no one else has ever tasted it?"

"..."
