Cheng Yan's hands were strong, and after dragging Chi Wu into the room, he placed him on the sofa and closed the door.

"What are you doing closing the door?" Chi Wu asked him.

Cheng Yan walked back and forth in place.

Chi Wu finally waited until he stopped and asked, "Why did you let me stay at your house, obviously I live next door." He added, "The kitchen is also next door. If you want to talk about things, my side will be better." .”

"I also cleaned your house." Cheng Yan said, "Is there any difference?"

Chi Wu lowered his eyes: "Are you thinking that in addition to eating for free at my house, you also charge housekeeping fees?" He asked himself and answered, "But you have already bought me milk, so the small money for housekeeping fees shouldn't be valued, right? .”

Cheng Yan walked around a few more times, and returned to Chi Wu, as if he had already reached a conclusion, and asked, "Why did you look like you were enjoying the show just now?"

"It's really a good show." Chi Wu said very bluntly, "When someone came to my house to harass me before, Gu Ran also smiled happily, and said that the person had a straight nose and his sexual function should be good. I will think about it."

Cheng Yan: "..."

Cheng Yan felt that there was a serious difference in some aspects between his cognition and Chi Wu's.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Chi Wu turned sideways, knelt on the sofa, and leaned out to look at the props stored in the corner.

"Looking for what?" Cheng Yan asked.

"I want to find some suitable props to enter the third ladder." Chi Wu said.

Chi Wu hadn't mentioned going to the third ladder for a long time, and Cheng Yan thought he had given up on it, but he didn't expect that he couldn't escape the matter of going to the third ladder after wandering around.

Chi Wu never thought of giving up. To him, this was just one thing. After listening to persuasion, he found that it really shouldn't be rushed.

After seeing his own real world scene in the world mirror of the first ladder, he dreamed intermittently about the past.

The unattainable person has become his shadow, close at hand, but nothing.

But even if it is nothingness, Chi Wu is willing to give everything he has for a momentary encounter.

He jumped off the sofa and flipped through the things inside: "Many of these props are gadgets and not very practical, but I really didn't expect that it would be so difficult to team up with you to go to the second ladder. I gave me a ring, and I thought it would take five or six ladders to use it."

The pile of packed props was messed up by Chi Wu. He sorted them according to the useful and the useless. After bending over for a long time and getting tired, he sat down cross-legged without getting dirty. It was an introduction and a self-talking classmate Cheng Yan said: " Although the red rope that Gou Xiaozhen gave can only be regarded as a small prop with a single function, it is very useful for us, so let’s keep it with us in the future.”

After he finished speaking, he found that Cheng Yan didn't respond, so he raised his head and looked at the sofa.

Cheng Yan didn't seem very happy.

"Are you angry?" Chi Wu quietly rubbed the ashes on Cheng Yan's sofa, "Because of the person who came to harass you?"

Cheng Yan pinched his wrist and asked: "The person you are going to meet, what is his relationship with you, what is his name, and what does he have to do with me?"

Looking into his eyes, Chi Wu felt that the pain in his wrist was only a little bit more. The familiar look faded from his face these days, and he said coldly, "Let go."

Cheng Yan did not indulge him as usual, he pinched his wrist from horizontal to vertical.

"You call him brother, but he is not your real brother," he persistently asked, "he is your lover."

Chi Wu turned his head away and was already angry: "So what if it is, so what if it is not, knowing what I think in my heart, will your heart be happy?"

Cheng Yan stared at him intently for a long time before letting go: "I'm sorry."

Chi Wu rubbed his wrists, got up with his knees on the ground, and brushed past Cheng Yan without looking back at him.

The door was opened and closed again, leaving the room empty.

Those props were messed up by Chi Wu and scattered on the ground. Cheng Yan picked up a glass duck that Chi Wu was playing with just now, and looked at the crystal clear light inside.

For the next five days, neither Chi Wu nor Cheng Yan saw each other again.

On the sixth day, Cheng Yan opened the door very early, stood at the end of the entrance, and cleaned the living room with a broom.

After "sweeping" at the entrance for more than an hour, the door opposite finally opened.

Chi Wu was stunned for two seconds when he saw Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan straightened the slanted broom, stood it on the ground, and took two steps forward.

Unexpectedly, Chi Wu just took a quick look at him and left without even saying hello.

Cheng Yan hurried out, followed his back downstairs and asked, "Are you going out again?"

Chi Wu stopped and looked back at him.

The light from the corridor spilled in, turning his unkempt hair into a translucent golden yellow, covering his whole body with a layer of hazy soft velvet light.

"You want to use my name to go to the trading market to grab other people's props?"

When Cheng Yan made his words more specific, Chi Wu had a look of willingness to communicate.

Chi Wu's lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to explain, but in the end he said rather unconscionably, "I'm just wandering around."

"Walk around casually," Cheng Yan stood in front of the door, counting his misdeeds in detail, "Walk around casually and snatch a crane's feather, and if they don't want to sell it, they threaten to say, 'Cheng Yan will be here in a while, I'll let you buy it. He hit you', the day before yesterday he insisted on buying other people's snake sloughs at a low price, saying that their things were not worth that price, and finally stuffed what he thought was a fair price when he couldn't negotiate a lower price, so that he could do it

Come to me, yesterday..."

"It's a big deal, I won't talk about you today." Chi Wu didn't let him count down, and he was confident, "And if they come to you, you don't give it to them. Gu Ran and Wen Bo used to be like this. Their names, if someone comes to find them, just scare them away."

Cheng Yan finally understood how Chi Wu was able to single-handedly achieve the wrath of man and god in the third world.

"So you're still going to the trading market today?" Cheng Yan asked.

Chi Wu lowered his eyes and acquiesced.

He didn't forget that they had quarreled because of the third ladder before.

"I'm fine today, I'll go with you." Cheng Yan closed the door, "Let's go."

Chi Wu glanced sideways at him, as if unwilling, but Cheng Yan was already walking beside him, filling up the narrow corridor, so Chi Wu had no choice but to move away from him two steps faster.

The two walked through the HOS house one after the other, and came to the junction of the A and B districts. After turning seven or eight long streets and alleys, they finally came to the trading market where fish and dragons were mixed.

The trading market is said to be a market, but it is actually a canister alley. Most of the people who trade in it stand against the wall in twos and threes, smoking cigarettes and eating melon seeds, bragging, counting their own deeds and sighing a few times.

Chi Wu watched. He had been in the third world for many years and saw many people coming and going. He only felt that the scene in front of him was like all kinds of beings. Instead, he took a leisurely walk in it without any worries.

"Chi Wu is here!" Someone yelled loudly.

The effect was no different from that of urban management. A few people ran over the corner and ran away, shouting words like "robber" and "thug".

The bandit Chi Wu ran over, grabbed one of the retreating crowd, and said, "Don't go."

The man was quite tall, but Chi Wu grabbed his clothes and dared not leave for the same reason, only because of Cheng Yan standing behind him.

"Chi Wu, I've already said that I won't sell it to you, so don't come to me again!"

Chi Wu took out gold coins from his pocket and gave them to him: "You sell other people five gold coins, and I'll give you six. Why don't you sell them to me?"

"Everyone knows that you are unlucky. I took your money. I will be in bad luck next time on the ladder. I might not have a chance to get out. What do you need money for?" The man begged for mercy, "Chi Wu , because the fourth ladder is not easy, please let me go, I really want to live."

Cheng Yan behind him couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Chi Wu tilted his head and emphasized: "You have to sell it to me. I know you have been here for three months, and no one wants your things at all."

Items worth five gold coins are not something ordinary people can afford.

The further you go on the ladder, the more time you need to prepare. Many passers-by who have reached the sixth level are also tight in their pockets in order to afford the cost of living in the third world for a long time. How can they afford a high price to buy a piece of equipment? I don't know which props to use or not.

Only Chi Wu came to ask questions every day and bought it at a high price, but unfortunately that person refused to nod no matter what.

To put it bluntly, Chi Wu didn't get the props he wanted, and he wanted to grab them, but the man asserted that Chi Wu would definitely not find them, and told him not to waste his time.

In the end, Chi Wu only bought one barely satisfactory item and went back.

"How many hours does this invisibility cloak work?" Cheng Yan asked.

Chi Wu stood in front of the door with his clothes in his arms: "Half an hour."

"Three gold coins are too expensive." Cheng Yan said.

Chi Wu shook his head indifferently, folded the clothes casually, and ignored Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan changed the subject: "What did you eat these days?"

"Eat at Gu Ran's house." Chi Wu said.

Seeing that he was doing well without him, Cheng Yan felt bored, so he said goodbye casually and went back to his home.

Chi Wu looked at his back and the closed door, touched the clothes on his forearms, stood for 2 minutes, and returned to his room.

What Cheng Yan was thinking, Chi Wu didn't know, and he occasionally guessed Cheng Yan's mood, but he only found it complicated and unsolvable.

Cheng Yan's purpose was always vague. Chi Wu took his care for him when he entered the first step of the ladder as the intersection of the real world, but now he doesn't understand why Cheng Yan is angry with him.

If he didn't want to follow him quickly through the ladder, he couldn't force Cheng Yan to go, because of the fate between Cheng Yan and himself in his previous life, he would also take good care of Cheng Yan.

In the current situation, he can only suspect that Cheng Yan likes him, that's why he has the petty temper that these girls have with him.

Chi Wu sighed, lying on the bed, resting his arm on his head in a daze.

He bought some props, and he probably understands the difficulty of the third ladder, so now he just needs to find the five-mile road before he can set off.

It was night, and a figure turned over from Chi Wu's window. The man knocked on the anti-theft window made by Cheng Yan, and called softly: "Chi Wu, Chi Wu."

Chi Wu turned over on the bed, and the man continued to knock and call his name continuously.

It was really troublesome, Chi Wu turned over, touched Rose Island from under the pillow and stood on the balcony, looking at the people outside the security window.

"Yo, come out." The man smiled slyly, "I heard that you are the most handsome man in the ladder—"

The corner of Chi Wu's lips pressed down, took the clothes drying pole from the balcony, poked it out, turned the man over, and hung it to another position.

"This temper," the man was as nimble as a gecko, laughing while grabbing the railing of the anti-theft window, "it's quite spicy."

Chi Wu's hand was already on Rose Island, but the man suddenly realized, "It's too late today, see you tomorrow." Then he jumped and disappeared into the night.

Similar to being harassed in the past, Chi Wu rolled his eyes and was about to go back to his room, but he heard the door opening on the balcony next door.

He turned his head and saw Cheng Yan coming out of the door.

"Heard some movement, come out and take a look." Cheng Yan said.

Chi Wu lowered his eyes, took two steps forward, and talked to him through the gap between the balconies.

The night was quiet, and many emotions were hidden and calmed down. Chi Wu asked him: "Did you wake up?"

"The man was jumping up and down like a monkey. It was hard not to wake up."

He walked towards the edge of the balcony and stretched out his hand: "Come here."

"What are you doing?" Chi Wu asked him, and leaned towards the edge of the balcony.

"What you want." Cheng Yan said.

Chi Wu was skeptical, and stretched out his hand from the middle of the railing of the anti-theft window.

Cheng Yan looked at his thin arm, and felt that he was going to break it with some strength, it was soft and weak.

He held Chi Wu's hand, let his palm up, put his wrist lightly, and put the things that Chi Wu wanted to buy today but didn't buy in his palm.
