Doll Note [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 46
It was two o'clock in the morning when Shen Yuxi returned to the villa. Seeing the warm light in the living room, he froze for a moment, and had a vague guess in his heart.
A man was sitting on the sofa. His head was leaning against the back of the sofa. It seemed that he was too tired and fell asleep just sitting. Shen Yuxi noticed that the man moved, as if he had been woken up.
"You're back?"
Because Qi Chao had just woken up, his voice was a little hoarse and deep. He smiled at Shen Yuxi who was standing at the door.
Shen Yuxi immediately showed a gentle and apologetic smile, and he said softly: "Sorry, I didn't expect to come back so late, I kept you waiting, you have to compete tomorrow afternoon, go back to your room to rest."
Under the warm light, Shen Yuxi's smile was still perfect, even the apology in her eyes was just right, her blond hair braided into a scorpion was draped over her shoulders, her every move was the same as usual, and there was nothing unusual about it.
However, Qi Chao always felt that something was wrong. He quietly watched the man standing not far away, trying to find something that made him feel wrong.
Shen Yuxi noticed his gaze, the smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly restrained, and there was a layer of impatience in his eyes, but on the surface, he still said gently: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"
"It's nothing."
Qi Chao realized what was wrong with him, and turned his eyes away. Then, as if he suddenly became interested, he suggested with a smile: "Do you want to drink?"
Drinking in the middle of the night?
Shen Yuxi's smile was a little stiff.
"You have to compete tomorrow, isn't it good to drink at night?" Shen Yuxi politely refused.
Qi Chao, who has always been interesting, seemed to be unable to understand the meaning of other people's words at this moment, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the game is tomorrow afternoon, and the alcohol content at home is not high."
Perhaps due to the influence of the previous events, Shen Yuxi was a little anxious tonight, and lost his composure than before. He realized his abnormality, quickly recovered, smiled at Qi Chao, and said, "Okay, But I'm not a good drinker."
When Qi Chao heard Shen Yuxi's answer, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he turned around and took out a bottle of wine from the kitchen.
"Go to the third floor, there is a greenhouse garden over there, and the moonlight is not bad today."
Shen Yuxi has no objection.
He didn't know what kind of nerves Qi Chao lost in the middle of the night, but Shen Yuxi didn't mind wasting his time in order to make the plan go smoothly.
When passing by the second floor, Qi Chao stopped for a while, and under Shen Yuxi's suspicious eyes, he knocked on the doors of Lan Luo and Moss respectively, with a slightly raised voice: "Moss, Lan Luo, your father is back .”
The two dolls didn't seem to be sleeping soundly. After Qi Chao said this, the two dolls, one big and one small, opened the door.
Shen Yuxi realized what Qi Chao's actions meant, and noticed the gazes of Lan Luo and Moss. He smiled gently and said to the two puppets: "I'm back."
Seeing that their father was the same as before, Lang Luo and Moss were instantly relieved.
"Okay, let's go to sleep."
After seeing the two children's mood lightened up, Qi Chao chuckled, rubbed Lan Luo's head, and patted Moss on the shoulder, "It's already two o'clock, if you don't sleep, Li Bai will definitely wake up tomorrow. Laughing at you for staying in bed."
He must have woken up earlier than Li Bai.
Lan Luo was thinking, but reached out and grabbed Qi Chao's clothes, his eyes bent into crescent moons and he raised his head and said, "Thank you, master."
Moss was still holding the puppet in his arms. He pursed his lips under the bandage and said, "Thank you."
After receiving the thanks from the two children, Qi Chao was in a good mood, and drove them back to their respective rooms to rest with a smile.
Shen Yuxi watched this scene silently from the side, and had guesses about what happened before. When he went upstairs, he said softly: "I'm sorry, Moss and the others have caused you trouble. You should rest early for tomorrow's game."
At first, Qi Chao didn't understand why Shen Yuxi apologized, but he understood later, Qi Chao smiled and said: "You don't need to apologize, they didn't bother me, it's just by the way when you go home, if I If I wanted to rest earlier, I wouldn't invite you to drink now."
He is lying.
Shen Yuxi remembered that Qi Chao was sleeping on the sofa when he came back, so he knew that what Qi Chao said now was false, but he didn't understand why Qi Chao wanted to lie to himself.
In order not to feel too guilty?
Shen Yuxi thought lightly, it is indeed possible, after all, this man is terribly soft-hearted.
A greenhouse was built on the balcony on the third floor. Qi Chao and Shen Yuxi sat in the greenhouse. The skylight was half open, and the cold moonlight fell into the greenhouse. Even if the lights were not turned on, they could clearly see the appearance of the person opposite.
"They care about you."
Qi Chao smiled.
Shen Yuxi knew that he was talking about Lang Luo and Moss, he nodded, apologetic in his soft voice: "Well, I made them worry."
He looked down at the clear wine in the glass, his white fingers gently stroking the cold glass wall, his eyelashes covered the obscure look in his eyes.
Shen Yuxi naturally knows how much the puppet he made likes him, but he is a despicable person. From the beginning of making the puppet, he has the intention of using it. In this case, no matter how good the puppet is to him, Shen Yuxi will always be with them separated by a layer.
Originally, Shen Yuxi thought that there must be some purpose for Qi Chao to ask him to come up to drink.
But apart from what he said at the beginning, Qi Chao never said anything, just took a sip of wine from time to time, and then complained that the wine was really bad, as if he just wanted to ask him to come up for a drink.
"You should have been number one today."
The cold moonlight fell on the ground, making Shen Yuxi's voice a little cold, "If it weren't for the low scores given by the judges, you wouldn't be No.3."
Because the wine was too spicy, Qi Chao's mouth was a little numb. When he heard this, he laughed and joked: "So the judges sent by the association are really not human."
Shen Yuxi saw the teasing in his eyes, as if he didn't care about these rankings anymore, he pursed his lips, and the displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Need to find another opportunity to further discredit the association.
Shen Yuxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, he didn't expect that Qi Chao could let go of the ranking so quickly.
In Shen Yuxi's view, the original No. [-] has become No. [-]. No one will be happy about this matter.
Although Qi Chao has a bad sense of the association now, this level is still too shallow, and it has not met Shen Yuxi's expectations at all.
Qi Chao took a sip of wine and didn't know Shen Yuxi's thoughts. If he knew, he would definitely answer truthfully. It's not that he let go of his grudge against the association, but he has experienced a lot as an adult, so he naturally knows what happened. It's useless to be unhappy about things.
What he should do is not to complain, but to make himself stronger, so strong that even if those people want to find a reason to attack him, there is no way.
The two of them didn't speak any more after that, they drank wine on their own, and the very faint fragrance of flowers in the greenhouse made it easy to relax the spirit.
The alcohol in the bottle is half gone. Although the alcohol content is not high, if you drink too much, you will feel that your brain is not clear, and you will feel sleepy.
"Are you still sad?"
In the quiet greenhouse, Qi Chao suddenly made a sound.
sad?
Shen Yuxi paused for a moment with his fingers caressing the wall of the cup. He looked at Qi Chao who was dozing off, and seemed to guess why this person invited him to drink on the third floor.
Shen Yuxi thought it was a little funny, how could he be sad?It's just to meet a guy who will be thrown into the trial ground by him sooner or later, how could he waste his emotions on garbage.
"When you just got home, you were unhappy." Qi Chao couldn't open his eyes, but thinking of the previous scene, he still tried his best to comfort him: "My former friends had a few sips of wine when they were sad, so I don't need to ask more. , you will be completely bald and clean, you are different from them, you don't like to talk too much."
"I won't ask more questions."
Qi Chao's voice was a little hoarse, and he stopped after saying a word, because he was too sleepy and his brain reacted very slowly, "If you are unhappy, tell me, and I will accompany you."
"You can drink or enjoy the moon, it's up to you."
Qi Chao seemed to have decided that he was unhappy, Shen Yuxi's beautiful peach blossom eyes fixedly looked at the man in front of him, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and after a while, he looked up at the cold moon outside the skylight.
After a while, Qi Chao almost couldn't hold back and fell asleep, and suddenly heard the person on the opposite side whisper: "I went to see the teacher's son, and I am not unhappy."
"That's good."
Qi Chao struggled to open his eyes and looked over, only to realize that instead of saying that Shen Yuxi was talking to him, it would be better to mutter to himself.
The man has a thin back, and under the clear moonlight, his vision is a bit empty. Compared with his previous considerate and mature appearance, he looks like a child who can't find a home at this time.
When Qi Chao wanted to say something, Shen Yuxi had already returned to normal, and her eyes had returned to the gentleness of the past. The fragility just now seemed to be just an illusion.
"It's getting late, let's go back."
Maybe it was because of the alcohol, Shen Yuxi's mood fluctuated a bit, he felt that he should go back to his room to calm down.
"Okay." Qi Chao had no objection. When he stood up, he thought of the fragility that the doctor had inadvertently revealed just now. He walked up to Shen Yuxi and hugged him gently. His voice was a little low, but it meant a solemn promise: " If I want to drink in the future, I can do it anytime."
This is the second time she was hugged by this man. Shen Yuxi's body froze. It seemed that because of drinking, the other person's body temperature was very high. She could feel the other person's temperature through her clothes. Shen Yuxi pursed her lips to conceal her inner emotion. Uncomfortable, the smell of mint mixed with alcohol in the air makes people feel a little confused.
The hug broke at the touch of a touch. When going downstairs, Shen Yuxi walked behind Qi Chao, looking at the other's back, his fingers rubbed slightly, and his eyelashes drooped slightly, covering the complex emotions in his eyes.
He didn't go to bed until four o'clock in the morning, and when he woke up at eight o'clock, Qi Chao felt a little heavy in his head, but after all, he was in good health, and after a few seconds of relief, he became more awake.
Several puppets in the family are sitting in the living room watching animation, only the doctor is not there.
Maybe he was still sleeping, Qi Chao thought, turned around to the kitchen to finish the meal, and then asked the three children in the living room to wake the doctor up.
"Li Bai is going to compete with Dad today."
Just as Qi Chao put the plate on the table, Li Bai, who was originally sitting on the sofa, ran to his side at some point, with an excited expression on his face.
"Yes, are you happy?"
"happy!"
Hearing his crisp answer, Qi Chao laughed and reached out to rub his raccoon hair.
"Dad, I'm really good today! I guessed two riddles again!" Li Bai excitedly begged for praise, and the non-existent tail behind him almost went up into the sky.
Lang Luo's favorite animation will have riddle questions. Although Li Bai doesn't like this animation, what he looks forward to most every day is to answer the riddle questions in it.
"Libai is really amazing." Qi Chao praised his child very face-saving. As soon as he finished speaking, the doctor came down from the second floor. The two looked at each other and paused for a while. Qi Chao smiled first.
Shen Yuxi also showed a gentle smile as usual.
The second round of the competition was set this afternoon, but because the contestants had to arrive early, they took a break after eating and then set off for the competition.
Li Bai followed his father step by step after getting off the aircraft, touched his mask from time to time, and made a lot of small movements, obviously a little nervous.
After separating from the doctors and the others, the tension reached its peak. If Li Bai had a tail, he would probably be trembling with his tail between his legs by this time.
Seeing this, Qi Chao thought for a while, squatted down and said, "Li Bai is so scared, who will let Dad win?"
Let Dad win?
Li Bai's eyes lit up when he heard this.
It has to be said that because he knows the children so well, Qi Chao can easily incite the emotions of his own children. He nodded with a smile, and then continued to praise a few words, conveying that he is weak, pitiful and Helpless, the information can only be saved by Libai, a formidable and powerful little puppet.
He patted his father on the shoulder, even if he was wearing a mask, he couldn't hide those golden amber eyes, and the two small canine teeth were even more obvious: "Dad, I will take you Champion."
Hearing this, Qi Chao nodded with a smile.
There were only twenty contestants in the second round.
Compared to the chaotic waiting area before, this time the waiting area was terribly quiet.
Every puppet master brought the dolls they made. Qi Chao couldn't tell the level of those dolls, but the dolls made by contestants who could stand out from thousands of puppet masters must be of high level.
At the same time, the cameras in the candidate area started working, and tens of millions of viewers flooded into the live broadcast room.
[Woooo, so many high-level puppets, I'm dead! 】
[Ahhh, the beast girl is too sexy, right?As a woman, I can't help but have a nosebleed! 】
【Depend on!As expected of a male doll made by Qian Baobao, the proportions of the figure are too amazing. Can you lift up the doll's clothes and rwkk the abs? 】
[It's so cute, my God, Li Bai is still circling around Mr. Qi, what is he doing? 】
For ordinary people, with their economic level, they can't afford the cost of a high-level doll at all, and it's even impossible to connect to touch. The only way to see so many high-level dolls at once is the competition of the Humanoid Masters Association. live streaming.
Qi Chao held down his cub who kept circling around, held Li Bai who was overly excited by the encouraging words before, in his arms, and walked to the seat: "Hey, let's sit here first to maintain our strength."
"it is good!"
The raccoon's platinum eyes were dazzling, and he nodded heavily.
So cute.
Qi Chao patted Libai's head, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but he didn't expect Libai to grab his hand just as he moved away from his head.
"Dad, I still want you to touch your head."
Li Bai raised his head, his golden eyes sparkling.
Qi Chao was silent for a while, then put his hand back, rubbed it gently, and the old father's heart completely melted.
Because there were only [-] contestants this time, the organizer specially connected the live broadcast room to the microphone, so that they could clearly hear the conversations between the contestants.
The words of Qi Chao and the puppet were naturally heard clearly by the audience in the live broadcast room.
【Depend on!Li Bai is so cute! ! ! 】
[Woohoo, Boss Qi loves dolls!The interaction between them is like father and son! 】
[Emm, I didn't say that, isn't this puppet a little too crazy?How dare you make demands on the humanoid master? 】
【What bullshit are you talking about? 】
[Originally, look at the other dolls, which one dares to do this to the puppet master? 】
Conflicts gradually arose in the live broadcast room because of this scene. On the other hand, Qi Chao also discovered that there was something wrong with the relationship between other puppet masters and dolls in the candidate area. Kick him.
Qi Chao frowned when he saw this scene.
Just when Qi Chao was about to step forward to stop it, the puppet master kicked the puppet hard and sat back in his seat as if he was concerned about the competition.
"If you can't win the next game, after you go back, you don't want your puppet heart."
As soon as Qi Chao sat down, he heard the puppet master say to his puppet, the fire in his heart suddenly came up, but he calmed down in the end. Puppet, I have no right to manage it.
Li Bai worriedly called out to Dad, Qi Chao suppressed the anger in his heart, turned to look at Li Bai and smiled.
The game time came up soon, and Qi Chao didn't have time to think too much. He took Li Bai and followed the staff to the field. A huge maze-like building appeared in the originally empty field.
"The second round of competition is maze walking. The puppet stands at the starting point, and the puppet master is at the end." The host stood on the stage and explained the rules of the second round.
"At the beginning of the game, the humanoid masters will get a maze map. In this map, each node will have a corresponding checkpoint. The humanoid masters need to use microphones to guide the dolls. The top five humanoid masters with the shortest time to pass the level will win. .”
"Note: At each node level, the puppet artist is not allowed to give any hints to the puppet, and those who violate it will fail to pass the level."
"Please ask the puppet artist and puppet to follow the guidance of the staff and arrive at the designated location."
[Oh, the maze is interesting and interesting! 】
Similar bullet screens slid across the live broadcast room.
Innovation will be carried out in every round of the competition. Qi Chao didn't panic when he heard the rules of the competition, and lowered his head to explain to Li Bai.
"That is to say, as long as Libai obeys his father's words, he can win if he walks out of the maze?" Libai quickly understood.
"Yes, my cub is really smart!"
Qi Chao said with a smile.
Hearing his father's praise, Li Bai was so happy that he showed his two little canine teeth.
Fans in the live broadcast room swiped the barrage.
[It feels like the boss is really raising the doll as a child, he has been praising his family's Libai! 】
[Really, I watched it in other live broadcast rooms, and no other puppet master has ever used such a tone hahaha]
[The boss is different! 】
The participating puppet masters came to the end of the maze. Because the competition had not started yet, many acquainted puppet masters chatted with each other.
Among the twenty puppet masters, including Qi Chao, there were only five puppet masters who had made S-class dolls. Qi Chao took a quick look and found that, except for Professor Qiao, the other three puppet masters had a good relationship.
Just when Qi Chao was distracted, one of the puppet masters who made the S-class dolls came over. He looked 40 years old and smiled kindly: "Hi, I'm Zhang Ya."
"Hello." Qi Chao also introduced himself, but he didn't know why this person came to him.
Zhang Ya was very familiar from the beginning, and he also brought Qi Chao to meet several puppet masters who were familiar with him, and then said naturally: "We are all puppet masters who have made S-class dolls, and the champion can only Born among us, of course we must get to know each other a little bit."
"Look, Zhao Benben." Zhang Ya patted Zhao Benben, who was slightly chubby, and said with a smile on his face: "You should have seen his puppet, the poisonous scorpion woman, that woman with a very good figure, special The ability is to use anesthesia."
"My wolf king, the special ability is steel teeth."
"Xiumei, the puppet witch she made has no special abilities."
"Professor Qiao, although he is not familiar with the outside world, we all know that the special ability of the doll and beast girl he made is charm."
Qi Chao knew Zhang Ya's intention to come to him on his own initiative when he heard it from the very beginning. He smiled enthusiastically, as if he was very happy that they accepted him: "My puppet's name is Li Bai, and he runs very fast. quick."
Run fast?
After hearing these words, Zhang Ya and the others naturally regarded running fast as Li Bai's special ability.
Seeing that the three of them believed in Li Bai's ability, Qi Chao felt a little relieved. Of course, he knew that Zhang Ya and the others showed their affection in order to use the special ability of his own doll. Now, only Li Bai's special ability is in doubt.
Although there was a smile on his face, Qi Chao knew from Zhang Ya's slightly domineering performance before that if he didn't tell them the result, Zhang Ya and others might not do anything on the surface, and they would definitely make a small trip in private.
It's better to go with the flow and tell them a half-truth, which will neither offend them nor cause yourself to suffer losses.
On the surface, Qi Chao enthusiastically communicated with Zhang Ya and others. In fact, he was already impatient. When the staff came to deliver the microphone and map, he was relieved.
After Qi Chao put on the uploader, he tried the sound, and soon the excited voice of his own puppet came from the opposite side.
He chuckled lightly to let Libai calm down, and lowered his head to look at the map of the maze.
The map of the maze is very complicated, but there is only one exit. According to different routes, there are almost hundreds of choices, and almost every corner of the maze is marked with a checkpoint.
The levels are labeled with multiple elements such as intelligence and agility, followed by the specific content of the level, obviously for the convenience of the humanoid master to choose the appropriate route for the puppets.
Qi Chao looked at the content carefully, and frowned slightly. Among these levels, there were actually extremely dangerous operations, similar to operations such as mace rollers, and these high-risk levels were all concentrated on the closest route.
Obviously, the shorter the distance, the higher the risk, and the farther the distance, the lower the risk.
At the same time, there is also a maze map on the public screen that the audience can see. There are twenty dots of different colors on it, which are twenty dolls.
[It's started!I bet, the beast girl is the first! 】
[Libai come on, Libai rushes! 】
[Ha, the upstairs is actually supporting that little guy, haven't you learned enough lessons yet?That big brother of yours is not good at all, didn't you see that the first round of going off topic went like that? 】
[TM our boss didn't digress, okay?Isn't the background clearly written?Is that a dog that can eat the moon? 】
[It's funny, only you NC fans think it's okay, the judges have already said it, so it's off topic, okay? 】
【Depend on!If I have such a violent temper, if I really digress, the calibration machine will not be able to pass it!How many times do I have to say that! ! ! 】
【Hahaha he's in a hurry, he's in a hurry, all the idiots are in a hurry.Look at it, they can't get through this maze at all! 】
[Fart, our boss Qi must be number one! 】
As soon as this barrage was sent out, the dots on the screen started to move in the next second. Nineteen dots swarmed towards the nearest or middle route. place to run.
[Hahaha who is this, why do you still choose the farthest route to run!There is a hole in the brain, right? 】
Fans of Mr. Qi: ...
No, boss, why are you still hitting us in the face?
A man was sitting on the sofa. His head was leaning against the back of the sofa. It seemed that he was too tired and fell asleep just sitting. Shen Yuxi noticed that the man moved, as if he had been woken up.
"You're back?"
Because Qi Chao had just woken up, his voice was a little hoarse and deep. He smiled at Shen Yuxi who was standing at the door.
Shen Yuxi immediately showed a gentle and apologetic smile, and he said softly: "Sorry, I didn't expect to come back so late, I kept you waiting, you have to compete tomorrow afternoon, go back to your room to rest."
Under the warm light, Shen Yuxi's smile was still perfect, even the apology in her eyes was just right, her blond hair braided into a scorpion was draped over her shoulders, her every move was the same as usual, and there was nothing unusual about it.
However, Qi Chao always felt that something was wrong. He quietly watched the man standing not far away, trying to find something that made him feel wrong.
Shen Yuxi noticed his gaze, the smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly restrained, and there was a layer of impatience in his eyes, but on the surface, he still said gently: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"
"It's nothing."
Qi Chao realized what was wrong with him, and turned his eyes away. Then, as if he suddenly became interested, he suggested with a smile: "Do you want to drink?"
Drinking in the middle of the night?
Shen Yuxi's smile was a little stiff.
"You have to compete tomorrow, isn't it good to drink at night?" Shen Yuxi politely refused.
Qi Chao, who has always been interesting, seemed to be unable to understand the meaning of other people's words at this moment, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the game is tomorrow afternoon, and the alcohol content at home is not high."
Perhaps due to the influence of the previous events, Shen Yuxi was a little anxious tonight, and lost his composure than before. He realized his abnormality, quickly recovered, smiled at Qi Chao, and said, "Okay, But I'm not a good drinker."
When Qi Chao heard Shen Yuxi's answer, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he turned around and took out a bottle of wine from the kitchen.
"Go to the third floor, there is a greenhouse garden over there, and the moonlight is not bad today."
Shen Yuxi has no objection.
He didn't know what kind of nerves Qi Chao lost in the middle of the night, but Shen Yuxi didn't mind wasting his time in order to make the plan go smoothly.
When passing by the second floor, Qi Chao stopped for a while, and under Shen Yuxi's suspicious eyes, he knocked on the doors of Lan Luo and Moss respectively, with a slightly raised voice: "Moss, Lan Luo, your father is back .”
The two dolls didn't seem to be sleeping soundly. After Qi Chao said this, the two dolls, one big and one small, opened the door.
Shen Yuxi realized what Qi Chao's actions meant, and noticed the gazes of Lan Luo and Moss. He smiled gently and said to the two puppets: "I'm back."
Seeing that their father was the same as before, Lang Luo and Moss were instantly relieved.
"Okay, let's go to sleep."
After seeing the two children's mood lightened up, Qi Chao chuckled, rubbed Lan Luo's head, and patted Moss on the shoulder, "It's already two o'clock, if you don't sleep, Li Bai will definitely wake up tomorrow. Laughing at you for staying in bed."
He must have woken up earlier than Li Bai.
Lan Luo was thinking, but reached out and grabbed Qi Chao's clothes, his eyes bent into crescent moons and he raised his head and said, "Thank you, master."
Moss was still holding the puppet in his arms. He pursed his lips under the bandage and said, "Thank you."
After receiving the thanks from the two children, Qi Chao was in a good mood, and drove them back to their respective rooms to rest with a smile.
Shen Yuxi watched this scene silently from the side, and had guesses about what happened before. When he went upstairs, he said softly: "I'm sorry, Moss and the others have caused you trouble. You should rest early for tomorrow's game."
At first, Qi Chao didn't understand why Shen Yuxi apologized, but he understood later, Qi Chao smiled and said: "You don't need to apologize, they didn't bother me, it's just by the way when you go home, if I If I wanted to rest earlier, I wouldn't invite you to drink now."
He is lying.
Shen Yuxi remembered that Qi Chao was sleeping on the sofa when he came back, so he knew that what Qi Chao said now was false, but he didn't understand why Qi Chao wanted to lie to himself.
In order not to feel too guilty?
Shen Yuxi thought lightly, it is indeed possible, after all, this man is terribly soft-hearted.
A greenhouse was built on the balcony on the third floor. Qi Chao and Shen Yuxi sat in the greenhouse. The skylight was half open, and the cold moonlight fell into the greenhouse. Even if the lights were not turned on, they could clearly see the appearance of the person opposite.
"They care about you."
Qi Chao smiled.
Shen Yuxi knew that he was talking about Lang Luo and Moss, he nodded, apologetic in his soft voice: "Well, I made them worry."
He looked down at the clear wine in the glass, his white fingers gently stroking the cold glass wall, his eyelashes covered the obscure look in his eyes.
Shen Yuxi naturally knows how much the puppet he made likes him, but he is a despicable person. From the beginning of making the puppet, he has the intention of using it. In this case, no matter how good the puppet is to him, Shen Yuxi will always be with them separated by a layer.

"Are you still sad?"
In the quiet greenhouse, Qi Chao suddenly made a sound.

Shen Yuxi paused for a moment with his fingers caressing the wall of the cup. He looked at Qi Chao who was dozing off, and seemed to guess why this person invited him to drink on the third floor.
Shen Yuxi thought it was a little funny, how could he be sad?It's just to meet a guy who will be thrown into the trial ground by him sooner or later, how could he waste his emotions on garbage.
"When you just got home, you were unhappy." Qi Chao couldn't open his eyes, but thinking of the previous scene, he still tried his best to comfort him: "My former friends had a few sips of wine when they were sad, so I don't need to ask more. , you will be completely bald and clean, you are different from them, you don't like to talk too much."
"I won't ask more questions."
Qi Chao's voice was a little hoarse, and he stopped after saying a word, because he was too sleepy and his brain reacted very slowly, "If you are unhappy, tell me, and I will accompany you."
"You can drink or enjoy the moon, it's up to you."
Qi Chao seemed to have decided that he was unhappy, Shen Yuxi's beautiful peach blossom eyes fixedly looked at the man in front of him, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and after a while, he looked up at the cold moon outside the skylight.
After a while, Qi Chao almost couldn't hold back and fell asleep, and suddenly heard the person on the opposite side whisper: "I went to see the teacher's son, and I am not unhappy."
"That's good."
Qi Chao struggled to open his eyes and looked over, only to realize that instead of saying that Shen Yuxi was talking to him, it would be better to mutter to himself.
The man has a thin back, and under the clear moonlight, his vision is a bit empty. Compared with his previous considerate and mature appearance, he looks like a child who can't find a home at this time.
When Qi Chao wanted to say something, Shen Yuxi had already returned to normal, and her eyes had returned to the gentleness of the past. The fragility just now seemed to be just an illusion.
"It's getting late, let's go back."
Maybe it was because of the alcohol, Shen Yuxi's mood fluctuated a bit, he felt that he should go back to his room to calm down.
"Okay." Qi Chao had no objection. When he stood up, he thought of the fragility that the doctor had inadvertently revealed just now. He walked up to Shen Yuxi and hugged him gently. His voice was a little low, but it meant a solemn promise: " If I want to drink in the future, I can do it anytime."
This is the second time she was hugged by this man. Shen Yuxi's body froze. It seemed that because of drinking, the other person's body temperature was very high. She could feel the other person's temperature through her clothes. Shen Yuxi pursed her lips to conceal her inner emotion. Uncomfortable, the smell of mint mixed with alcohol in the air makes people feel a little confused.
The hug broke at the touch of a touch. When going downstairs, Shen Yuxi walked behind Qi Chao, looking at the other's back, his fingers rubbed slightly, and his eyelashes drooped slightly, covering the complex emotions in his eyes.
He didn't go to bed until four o'clock in the morning, and when he woke up at eight o'clock, Qi Chao felt a little heavy in his head, but after all, he was in good health, and after a few seconds of relief, he became more awake.
Several puppets in the family are sitting in the living room watching animation, only the doctor is not there.
Maybe he was still sleeping, Qi Chao thought, turned around to the kitchen to finish the meal, and then asked the three children in the living room to wake the doctor up.
"Li Bai is going to compete with Dad today."
Just as Qi Chao put the plate on the table, Li Bai, who was originally sitting on the sofa, ran to his side at some point, with an excited expression on his face.
"Yes, are you happy?"
"happy!"
Hearing his crisp answer, Qi Chao laughed and reached out to rub his raccoon hair.
"Dad, I'm really good today! I guessed two riddles again!" Li Bai excitedly begged for praise, and the non-existent tail behind him almost went up into the sky.
Lang Luo's favorite animation will have riddle questions. Although Li Bai doesn't like this animation, what he looks forward to most every day is to answer the riddle questions in it.
"Libai is really amazing." Qi Chao praised his child very face-saving. As soon as he finished speaking, the doctor came down from the second floor. The two looked at each other and paused for a while. Qi Chao smiled first.
Shen Yuxi also showed a gentle smile as usual.
The second round of the competition was set this afternoon, but because the contestants had to arrive early, they took a break after eating and then set off for the competition.
Li Bai followed his father step by step after getting off the aircraft, touched his mask from time to time, and made a lot of small movements, obviously a little nervous.
After separating from the doctors and the others, the tension reached its peak. If Li Bai had a tail, he would probably be trembling with his tail between his legs by this time.
Seeing this, Qi Chao thought for a while, squatted down and said, "Li Bai is so scared, who will let Dad win?"
Let Dad win?
Li Bai's eyes lit up when he heard this.
It has to be said that because he knows the children so well, Qi Chao can easily incite the emotions of his own children. He nodded with a smile, and then continued to praise a few words, conveying that he is weak, pitiful and Helpless, the information can only be saved by Libai, a formidable and powerful little puppet.
He patted his father on the shoulder, even if he was wearing a mask, he couldn't hide those golden amber eyes, and the two small canine teeth were even more obvious: "Dad, I will take you Champion."
Hearing this, Qi Chao nodded with a smile.
There were only twenty contestants in the second round.
Compared to the chaotic waiting area before, this time the waiting area was terribly quiet.
Every puppet master brought the dolls they made. Qi Chao couldn't tell the level of those dolls, but the dolls made by contestants who could stand out from thousands of puppet masters must be of high level.
At the same time, the cameras in the candidate area started working, and tens of millions of viewers flooded into the live broadcast room.
[Woooo, so many high-level puppets, I'm dead! 】
[Ahhh, the beast girl is too sexy, right?As a woman, I can't help but have a nosebleed! 】
【Depend on!As expected of a male doll made by Qian Baobao, the proportions of the figure are too amazing. Can you lift up the doll's clothes and rwkk the abs? 】
[It's so cute, my God, Li Bai is still circling around Mr. Qi, what is he doing? 】
For ordinary people, with their economic level, they can't afford the cost of a high-level doll at all, and it's even impossible to connect to touch. The only way to see so many high-level dolls at once is the competition of the Humanoid Masters Association. live streaming.
Qi Chao held down his cub who kept circling around, held Li Bai who was overly excited by the encouraging words before, in his arms, and walked to the seat: "Hey, let's sit here first to maintain our strength."
"it is good!"
The raccoon's platinum eyes were dazzling, and he nodded heavily.
So cute.
Qi Chao patted Libai's head, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but he didn't expect Libai to grab his hand just as he moved away from his head.
"Dad, I still want you to touch your head."
Li Bai raised his head, his golden eyes sparkling.
Qi Chao was silent for a while, then put his hand back, rubbed it gently, and the old father's heart completely melted.
Because there were only [-] contestants this time, the organizer specially connected the live broadcast room to the microphone, so that they could clearly hear the conversations between the contestants.
The words of Qi Chao and the puppet were naturally heard clearly by the audience in the live broadcast room.
【Depend on!Li Bai is so cute! ! ! 】
[Woohoo, Boss Qi loves dolls!The interaction between them is like father and son! 】
[Emm, I didn't say that, isn't this puppet a little too crazy?How dare you make demands on the humanoid master? 】
【What bullshit are you talking about? 】
[Originally, look at the other dolls, which one dares to do this to the puppet master? 】
Conflicts gradually arose in the live broadcast room because of this scene. On the other hand, Qi Chao also discovered that there was something wrong with the relationship between other puppet masters and dolls in the candidate area. Kick him.
Qi Chao frowned when he saw this scene.
Just when Qi Chao was about to step forward to stop it, the puppet master kicked the puppet hard and sat back in his seat as if he was concerned about the competition.
"If you can't win the next game, after you go back, you don't want your puppet heart."
As soon as Qi Chao sat down, he heard the puppet master say to his puppet, the fire in his heart suddenly came up, but he calmed down in the end. Puppet, I have no right to manage it.
Li Bai worriedly called out to Dad, Qi Chao suppressed the anger in his heart, turned to look at Li Bai and smiled.
The game time came up soon, and Qi Chao didn't have time to think too much. He took Li Bai and followed the staff to the field. A huge maze-like building appeared in the originally empty field.
"The second round of competition is maze walking. The puppet stands at the starting point, and the puppet master is at the end." The host stood on the stage and explained the rules of the second round.
"At the beginning of the game, the humanoid masters will get a maze map. In this map, each node will have a corresponding checkpoint. The humanoid masters need to use microphones to guide the dolls. The top five humanoid masters with the shortest time to pass the level will win. .”
"Note: At each node level, the puppet artist is not allowed to give any hints to the puppet, and those who violate it will fail to pass the level."
"Please ask the puppet artist and puppet to follow the guidance of the staff and arrive at the designated location."
[Oh, the maze is interesting and interesting! 】
Similar bullet screens slid across the live broadcast room.
Innovation will be carried out in every round of the competition. Qi Chao didn't panic when he heard the rules of the competition, and lowered his head to explain to Li Bai.
"That is to say, as long as Libai obeys his father's words, he can win if he walks out of the maze?" Libai quickly understood.
"Yes, my cub is really smart!"
Qi Chao said with a smile.
Hearing his father's praise, Li Bai was so happy that he showed his two little canine teeth.
Fans in the live broadcast room swiped the barrage.
[It feels like the boss is really raising the doll as a child, he has been praising his family's Libai! 】
[Really, I watched it in other live broadcast rooms, and no other puppet master has ever used such a tone hahaha]
[The boss is different! 】
The participating puppet masters came to the end of the maze. Because the competition had not started yet, many acquainted puppet masters chatted with each other.
Among the twenty puppet masters, including Qi Chao, there were only five puppet masters who had made S-class dolls. Qi Chao took a quick look and found that, except for Professor Qiao, the other three puppet masters had a good relationship.
Just when Qi Chao was distracted, one of the puppet masters who made the S-class dolls came over. He looked 40 years old and smiled kindly: "Hi, I'm Zhang Ya."
"Hello." Qi Chao also introduced himself, but he didn't know why this person came to him.
Zhang Ya was very familiar from the beginning, and he also brought Qi Chao to meet several puppet masters who were familiar with him, and then said naturally: "We are all puppet masters who have made S-class dolls, and the champion can only Born among us, of course we must get to know each other a little bit."
"Look, Zhao Benben." Zhang Ya patted Zhao Benben, who was slightly chubby, and said with a smile on his face: "You should have seen his puppet, the poisonous scorpion woman, that woman with a very good figure, special The ability is to use anesthesia."
"My wolf king, the special ability is steel teeth."
"Xiumei, the puppet witch she made has no special abilities."
"Professor Qiao, although he is not familiar with the outside world, we all know that the special ability of the doll and beast girl he made is charm."
Qi Chao knew Zhang Ya's intention to come to him on his own initiative when he heard it from the very beginning. He smiled enthusiastically, as if he was very happy that they accepted him: "My puppet's name is Li Bai, and he runs very fast. quick."
Run fast?
After hearing these words, Zhang Ya and the others naturally regarded running fast as Li Bai's special ability.
Seeing that the three of them believed in Li Bai's ability, Qi Chao felt a little relieved. Of course, he knew that Zhang Ya and the others showed their affection in order to use the special ability of his own doll. Now, only Li Bai's special ability is in doubt.
Although there was a smile on his face, Qi Chao knew from Zhang Ya's slightly domineering performance before that if he didn't tell them the result, Zhang Ya and others might not do anything on the surface, and they would definitely make a small trip in private.
It's better to go with the flow and tell them a half-truth, which will neither offend them nor cause yourself to suffer losses.
On the surface, Qi Chao enthusiastically communicated with Zhang Ya and others. In fact, he was already impatient. When the staff came to deliver the microphone and map, he was relieved.
After Qi Chao put on the uploader, he tried the sound, and soon the excited voice of his own puppet came from the opposite side.
He chuckled lightly to let Libai calm down, and lowered his head to look at the map of the maze.
The map of the maze is very complicated, but there is only one exit. According to different routes, there are almost hundreds of choices, and almost every corner of the maze is marked with a checkpoint.
The levels are labeled with multiple elements such as intelligence and agility, followed by the specific content of the level, obviously for the convenience of the humanoid master to choose the appropriate route for the puppets.
Qi Chao looked at the content carefully, and frowned slightly. Among these levels, there were actually extremely dangerous operations, similar to operations such as mace rollers, and these high-risk levels were all concentrated on the closest route.
Obviously, the shorter the distance, the higher the risk, and the farther the distance, the lower the risk.
At the same time, there is also a maze map on the public screen that the audience can see. There are twenty dots of different colors on it, which are twenty dolls.
[It's started!I bet, the beast girl is the first! 】
[Libai come on, Libai rushes! 】
[Ha, the upstairs is actually supporting that little guy, haven't you learned enough lessons yet?That big brother of yours is not good at all, didn't you see that the first round of going off topic went like that? 】
[TM our boss didn't digress, okay?Isn't the background clearly written?Is that a dog that can eat the moon? 】
[It's funny, only you NC fans think it's okay, the judges have already said it, so it's off topic, okay? 】
【Depend on!If I have such a violent temper, if I really digress, the calibration machine will not be able to pass it!How many times do I have to say that! ! ! 】
【Hahaha he's in a hurry, he's in a hurry, all the idiots are in a hurry.Look at it, they can't get through this maze at all! 】
[Fart, our boss Qi must be number one! 】
As soon as this barrage was sent out, the dots on the screen started to move in the next second. Nineteen dots swarmed towards the nearest or middle route. place to run.
[Hahaha who is this, why do you still choose the farthest route to run!There is a hole in the brain, right? 】
Fans of Mr. Qi: ...
No, boss, why are you still hitting us in the face?
