Marrying an old-fashioned scientific researcher
Chapter 31 Defection
Downstairs came Qi Ruishan's angry scolding and Bo Yingying's soft comfort. Qi Bai ignored it and went up to the third floor, and opened the door to find that it was full of cardboard boxes and sundries.
In the room, not only the aisle bay window was fully occupied, but the bed was only left with a plank, the mattress stood upright, and a few suitcases and a few quilts were placed on it.
Qi Bai's face darkened instantly, and he didn't even look at what was in the carton, picked it up and threw it into the corridor.
There was a sound of pinging, bang, and Qi Ruishan cursed even louder:
"Little bastard, what are you doing upstairs, you demolish the house as soon as you come back, it's really against the sky!"
Bo Yingying persuaded her a few words, and Qi Bai on the third floor threw a rattan box down, and it just landed on her feet, which made her tremble in fright, and she looked at Qi Ruishan with lingering fear:
"Old Qi, why does Xiaobai seem to be more irritable than before?"
Qi Ruishan stretched out his hand to caress his chest and panted heavily, obviously being very angry by Qi Bai's outburst.
After Qi Bai threw all the things out, Bo Yingying covered her mouth and walked across the messy corridor:
"The floor is smashed..."
Walking to the door, before Bo Yingying stepped in, Qi Bai's sad voice came:
"You dare to come in and try."
Bo Yingying stagnated, and she stopped at the door of Qi Bai's room without going any further, and said angrily:
"Look at you kid, you just got so angry when you came home from the Chinese New Year, it made your father very angry."
After she finished speaking, she explained everything in front of her eyes: "If you don't come back for two or three years, it's a waste to leave the room empty. Just use it to put some unused sundries. If you say you, if you want to come back, don't let me know in advance. I'm fine too." Tell someone to clean up."
Qi Bai sneered and looked at Bo Yingying: "Qi Ruishan can't hear you, is it interesting for you to pretend to be here?"
More than ten years ago, in order to enter the upper class, Qi Ruishan bought this single-family three-storey villa with all his wealth. There are more than a dozen rooms in the basement. Does he have to use his room to store sundries?
The smile on Bo Yingying's face grew stronger, she leaned against the door frame and played with her hair:
"Interesting."
Bo Yingying is still very young, and she has been well maintained all these years, now she is smiling and softening her voice, she looks gentle and kind to anyone.
Her red lips parted slightly, but the words that came out of her mouth did not match the gentle smile on her face:
"This is what your Qi family owes me. I think it's quite interesting to see that you are not doing well."
I have heard similar words too many times, the young Qi Bai would still be hysterical and resentful, but now Qi Bai would just close the door with a cold face.
After being shut down, Bo Yingying was not angry, and went downstairs slowly. When she reached the corner, her expression suddenly changed, and she said to Qi Ruishan who was eating with a sad face:
"Throwing something on it, it's because we don't want to have dinner."
Qi Ruishan snorted: "It's good if you don't eat, and I just don't worry about starving to death. Look at him, he's neither male nor female all day long, what does he look like!"
"Anyway, he's your own son." Bo Yingying looked at him disapprovingly:
"Nowadays young people have a stubborn temper. It's good to coax him into puberty. I'll send him some food later, so he won't starve himself to death."
Qi Ruishan raised his eyebrows: "I'll follow him, is he my father or me in this family?"
Qi Ruishan is a well-known architectural designer. He has been praised a lot outside, and his manly temper has also been brought home.
She didn't object to Bo Yingying giving Qi Bai food.
Bo Yingying took it for granted: "You are a dead duck."
Qi Ruishan glared at her, then said again: "Why hasn't Ningnan come back so late, a little girl is out playing like crazy all day long, what does she look like?"
Bo Yingying brought him some food with chopsticks: "Student Ningnan celebrates her birthday, and I will be back later tonight. I told you this morning."
Qi Ruishan said that there are so many things to do every day, how can I have time to remember my classmates' birthdays.
Qi Ruishan: "Let's eat, the food is cold."
Bo Yingying shrugged and stopped talking.
……
On the third floor, Qi Bai heard Bo Yingying knock on the door and said that he left the food at the door, but he ignored it.
This is Qi Bai's room, and there are heavy traces of his life:
His immature practice drawings are pasted on the wall, the corner of the desk was cut off by him with a fruit knife when he was in elementary school, the colorful mottles on the wall were made by him when he was learning to paint, the basketball was dusted in the corner of the wall, and it fell to the ground. A big wardrobe, with his high school uniform hanging in it...
He has lived in Xiacheng for many years, and spent his primary, junior high, and high school in this room.
How beautiful and peaceful life was in the first two years, how much Qi Bai now hates this family.
If it weren't for...he wouldn't have stepped into this house where even the air was disgusting.
Qi Bai slept until dawn, and when he opened the door again, all the sundries and garbage in the corridor were cleared away, and there was a box of milk and a piece of bread on a tray by the door.
With a glance, Qi Bai lifted his feet and went downstairs.
In the living room, Qi Ruishan saw that Qi Bai was about to go out again, and asked, "Where are you going to die after you come back?"
Qi Bai replied blankly: "Die where you can't see."
Qi Ruishan was furious when he heard the words: "Stinky boy, are you trying to piss me off?"
Bo Yingying came out of the kitchen with breakfast, and chimed in: "The day after tomorrow is your grandma's birthday. In the past two days, relatives have come to visit one after another. Xiaobai, what are you doing now?"
The answer to Bo Yingying was the door closing with a bang, and the windows shook accordingly.
Bo Yingying: "..."
Qi Ruishan was scolding again, saying that he would be pissed off by his son sooner or later, Qi Bai's lips curled up, and he didn't take it seriously.
If possible, he would be more than happy to send his own father away when grandma dies.
After leaving the community, Qi Bai took a taxi straight to a billiard hall. As soon as he entered, he sensed that the eyes of a doll with customers coming to the door flashed red:
"Welcome, my dear God~"
"..." Qi Bai couldn't help complaining: "What stupid words?"
The owner of the billiard hall with a calculator in front of the counter was unhappy when he heard this. He was giving full play to the service tenet of "customer is God" with a smile!
Where is the idiot?
The boss raised his head in dissatisfaction, and was taken aback when he saw himself as God:
"Qi Bai?"
Qi Bai raised his hand and waved at him, then flicked it at the doll that kept shouting to welcome God, with a disgusted expression on his face:
"Chen Shaojiao, what's your aesthetic? This thing is ugly."
Qi Bai clearly disliked it: "It's ugly and noisy, doesn't God complain that it disturbs the people?"
Chen Shaojiao's forehead twitched: "...No God will always stand at the door."
Qi Bai walked into the shop slowly with one hand in his pocket, and Chen Shaojiao put down the calculator in his hand, with a strange expression on his face:
"A rare visitor, Master Bai, are you finally willing to come back from Nanfeng City to take a look?"
Chen Shaojiao and Qi Bai are classmates in middle and high school, and they have a very good relationship. However, unlike Qi Bai, Chen Shaojiao did not continue his studies after graduating from high school. After saving money from part-time jobs, he opened this billiard hall, and now he is Xiao Chen's boss.
Chen Shaojiao looked at Qi Bai's hair and clicked his tongue:
"Those female students in our class can't go crazy looking at you now? Does the water in Nanfeng City support people like this?"
Qi Bai glanced at him: "Young poor."
Chen Shaojiao suppressed the playful smile on his face and poured him a glass of water: "When did you come back?"
Qi Bai: "Last night."
Chen Shaojiao: "You live at home?"
Qi Bai looked at him: "Otherwise?"
Chen Shaojiao: "Your dad sees your hair is not crazy?"
Qi Bai smiled: "Isn't that good?"
"..." Chen Shaojiao couldn't quite smile, he carefully looked at Qi Bai's expression, and asked, "Did you come back for your grandma's birthday?"
Qi Bai let out a lazy 'hmm'.
Chen Shaojiao thought sure enough: "The matter of your grandma last year... You didn't come back in time, so I guessed that you would come back this year."
Grandma Qi Bai passed away due to illness last fall, perhaps because she didn't want to delay Qi Bai's studies, or for other reasons. In short, when Qi Bai got the news, his grandma had already passed away.
Grandma is one of the people who has been good to Qi Bai since childhood.
It was rare for Qi Bai to take the initiative to call Qi Ruishan afterwards, and angrily asked why the other party didn't tell him such a big matter sooner.
As a result, Qi Ruishan said that he would not come back for several years, thinking that Qi Bai had forgotten about this family long ago.
He also said that because of Qi Bai's dog temper, he might make trouble again when he came back, which would disturb the peace of the mourning hall, so he simply didn't tell him.
Regardless of the reason, it sounds ridiculous to Qi Bai.
Qi Bai looked at Chen Shaojiao with a puzzled look on his face: "A good person is so angry that he can't afford it. How did he manage to be so thick-skinned?"
Chen Shaojiao couldn't answer these words.
He knew that there was resentment and anger in Qi Bai's heart, and he knew the reason for it. He couldn't explain the matter of Qi Bai's family in a few words, so he didn't know what to say to comfort him.
The words were too pale, no matter whether it was consolation or helping to scold Qi Ruishan, it could not dispel the resentment and hatred in Qi Bai's heart.
Fortunately, Qi Bai quickly withdrew from his emotions and was dragged by Chen Shaojiao to play billiards.
The two of them are bored, Chen Shaojiao said that some of his classmates are also developing in Xiacheng now, why don't you ask your brother to have a drink together at night.
Qi Bai did not come back for a long time, so he nodded in agreement.
Chen Shaojiao yelled in the group, and it was silent for a long time, only the group of classmates who were more lively during the New Year and holidays immediately came to life, and several of them said they would come.
There are also people who are excited, but it is a pity that they can't talk to the scene when they are in other places, so they can only meet in the cloud.
***
Qi Bai spent a whole day playing outside, he didn't answer or hang up the phone call from Qi Ruishan, he just let it ring until it automatically hung up, in the end it wasn't enough, Qi Bai even posted a few photos in Moments.
There were those who smoked, those who played billiards, and those who ate and drank with his old classmates.
For the first time in the past few years, Qi Bai released Qi Ruishan from the group block list in Moments.
Thinking of Qi Ruishan's distraught look when he saw Moments, Qi Bai whistled in a good mood, and walked much more briskly when he returned home.
He couldn't wait to see Qi Ruishan's livid expression.
Before he got home, Qi Bai first received a call from Jiang Yi, who asked him when he would return to the country.
Mr. Jiang was heartbroken: "You actually came back secretly without telling me, son, dad is very disappointed in you!"
It was only then that Qi Bai remembered that he hadn't told Jiang Yi and the others about his return to China.
After learning that Qi Bai had returned to Xiacheng, Jiang Yi was a little surprised: "Why did you go back suddenly?"
Qi Bai lazily replied: "I'll be back when I have something to do."
Jiang Yi didn't ask any more questions, and after hanging up the phone, Qi Bai noticed that Jiang Jianzhi also sent him a message a few minutes ago.
[J]: Returned to China?
[Qi Baishi divides white]: Well, what's wrong?
In Nanfeng City, Jiang Jianzhi looked at Qi Bai's reply, pursed his lower lip, and asked: Are you celebrating Chinese New Year in Xia City this year?
Qi Bai was surprised and asked Jiang Jianzhi how he knew he was in Xiacheng.
Jiang Jianzhi replied that he saw it in his circle of friends.
Qi Bai: "?"
Qi Bai went to Moments again to confirm that he did not post a location.
Qi Bai already found it incredible that Jiang Jianzhi could guess the hotel he was staying in based on the location of the art exhibition and asked Liu Bote to send him cash.
Now, he suspects that Jiang Jianzhi has some unknown superpowers.
Before Qi Bai could ask again, as if he had guessed what Qi Bai was thinking, Jiang Jianzhi further explained:
On the fifth photo you sent, there is an address.
Qi Bai was confused and went back to look. The fifth photo was taken when they went to KTV to sing. He looked carefully for a long time before he saw the KTV address and phone number at the end of the safety instructions hanging on the wall of the dimly lit box. Number.
Mr. Jiang's power of observation...
clothes!
Jiang Jianzhi asked him again if he was celebrating the new year in Xiacheng directly.
Qi Bai didn't know why Jiang Jianzhi kept asking this question, so he typed casually: Maybe, I'm not sure either.
He didn't want to celebrate the New Year at Qi's house, but during the peak period of the Chinese New Year, air tickets and train tickets were hard to come by. Yesterday he was lucky and bought the last first-class seat.
It's only two days before Chinese New Year, and he will probably stay in Xia City.
Afterwards, Jiang Jianzhi didn't ask any more questions, but when Qi Bai refreshed again, he found that Mr. Jiang, who never posted a post, reposted a post from a marketing account——
shock!Nine hazards of smoking, a picture tells you.
Qi Bai: "..."
Qi Bai: "???"
Qi Bai himself doesn't smoke. Several old classmates offered him cigarettes when they met. He didn't bother to refuse one by one, so he took one, lit it and didn't smoke it. He just held it between his fingers and let the sparks devour the tobacco.
Chen Shaojiao thought he was fucking lazy and handsome, so he took a picture, and Qi Bai used it to send anger to Qi Ruishan in Moments.
But whether Qi Ruishan was so angry that he didn't know, now he was about to be laughed out of anger——
Jiang Jianzhi reposted the news and his own circle of friends, and the picture of him smoking is still displayed below!
He suspected that Jiang Jianzhi was secretly poking at himself and had the evidence.
Qi Bai gritted his teeth and itched his hands, and deliberately commented on Jiang Jianzhi's news:
Wow, so dangerous?
After Qi Bai refreshed the post, he saw a reply:
[J] Reply to you: Yes.
Qi Bai: ...
Are you okay? ?
Qi Bai was annoyed and funny, and typed word by word: Uncles and aunts would not repost these things in Moments!
After posting, Qi Bai felt unsatisfied, so he remarked Jiang Jianzhi's WeChat account as 'old-fashioned'.
'Old-fashioned' replies to you: Smoking is harmful to the body.
Qi Bai naturally knew what was clearly written on the cigarette package, and he wanted to go back again, only to find out that Father Jiang and Mother Jiang had also liked Jiang Jianzhi's post.
[Mother Jiang]: Smoking?Who smokes?
【Father Jiang】: Smoking is indeed bad for your health, don't learn it.
'Old old man' replied to 'Mother Jiang': him.
'Qi Baishi divides the white' replied 'old-fashioned':?
Jiang Jianzhi didn’t post a post for 800 years, so Jiang’s father and Jiang’s mother just liked and commented without even thinking about it. After looking down, after seeing Qi Bai’s smoking photo, he was silent for two seconds, saved it, and then deleted his own comments on it one after another. .
【Jiang Mu】: If you are under a lot of pressure, you can control the amount, don't smoke too much.
[Father Jiang]: Yes, yes, a small amount is fine, but pay attention to your body.
Not canceling likes is the last bottom line of the two elders.
After commenting, Jiang's mother and Jiang's father went to like Qi Bai's dynamic:
[Mother Jiang]: Xiaobai is so good, he has returned to China.
【Father Jiang】: Have fun with your friends.
Qi Bai, who witnessed Jiang's mother Jiang's father liking comments, deleting comments, and correcting a series of operations: "...?"
This time, it is true that Qi Bai can't be punished.
But I have to say that his low and irritable mood because of returning to Xia City suddenly became much brighter and not so dull.
Qi Bai couldn't hold back a laugh.
It is different from the sneer and sarcasm when facing Qi Ruishan and Bo Yingying, and it is not the casual smile that seems to grow on his face when he is with Chen Shaojiao.
This was the first time he laughed from the bottom of his heart after returning to Xia City.
Qi Bai chatted with Jiang Jianzhi in private: Mr. Jiang, how old are you, and why are you still making small reports to your parents.
He has always been curious about how Jiang's mother and father's temperament raised Jiang Jianzhi to be such a stuffy, old-fashioned old man.
And Professor Jiang also witnessed the scene where his parents turned against each other, and he frowned and remained silent.
When receiving Qi Bai's message, Jiang Jianzhi was thinking about how to reply so as not to overdo it, and the other party's message came again:
[Qi Baishi divides white]: But it's cute.
Mr. Jiang, who has always been mature and prudent, suddenly looked like a primary school student. Qi Bai's inner anger was dissipated, and he felt a little contrast.
Qi Bai has always been magnanimous, and he can say whatever he thinks in his heart.
Except for Qi Bai, no one has ever described Jiang Jianzhi as cute. Everyone mentioned Professor Jiang as: cold-blooded, ruthless, indifferent, meticulous, and emotionless.
After seeing Qi Baihua, Professor Jiang was stunned for a moment.
cute?
Jiang Jianzhi doesn't think he's cute. Since he was three years old, this word seems to be out of touch with him, but the person on the other end of the phone...
Professor Jiang still remembers the reddened ear tips when the other party pretended to be calm in the cafe.
After chatting with Jiang Jianzhi, Qi Bai's mood obviously improved. When he returned to the villa and faced Qi Ruishan's questioning, he could still ask back with a smile:
"You care about me? Isn't Bo Ningnan enough for you?"
Qi Ruishan was furious again: "Little bastard..."
Qi Bai's expression remained unchanged: "I'm a little beast, what about you?"
The father of the little beast is naturally a big beast, and someone beside him couldn't listen anymore: "Qi Bai, how can you talk to your father like that?"
Grandma Qi Bai’s Mingshou and Chinese New Year, several close relatives have already arrived, they are sitting in the living room eating melon seeds and chatting, seeing Qi Bai and Qi Ruishan father and son confronting each other, they stand up and speak:
"Anyway, he is also your father."
At this moment, a timid female voice came from the side: "Brother."
Qi Bai's temples twitched, and he looked along the source of the sound, and saw Bo Ningnan holding a fruit plate and looking at him at the side of the restaurant, as if he didn't dare to come over.
Qi Bai laughed immediately, pointed at Bo Ningnan and asked the relative who had spoken just now, with a mocking tone:
"My dad? The one who divorced for a year and brought back a three-year-old girl who called my brother's dad?"
Bo Ningnan, who was pointed at by him, trembled visibly with the naked eye. Bo Yingying frowned after hearing this, and before she could speak, someone had already spoken for her:
"Ningnan is Yingying's child. It has nothing to do with your father. You child, why don't you believe me when I tell you so many times?"
Qi Bai snorted coldly: "Her surname is Bo, isn't it Qi Ruishan's seed?"
After finishing speaking, Qi Bai turned to Qi Ruishan and asked lightly, "Why don't you go for a paternity test?"
As for Bo Ningnan's face, which looks more like Qi Ruishan's than his, can she use her surname as Bo Yingying as a fig leaf?
The house is full of relatives and friends, everyone knows the past ten years ago, but because of the bad feelings, they can only talk about it, let Qi Bai stop thinking about it, let him admit that Bo Ningnan is not Qi Ruishan illegitimate child.
It's tacit, so that everyone can get along.
Qi Baiming blatantly told the old things in front of so many people, Qi Ruishan's face was flushed, he didn't know whether he was ashamed or angry, and shook his hands to tell Qi Bai to get out.
Qi Bai left the sentence 'After tomorrow, you won't come back even if you beg me' and went upstairs.
Qi Bai didn't come back for a long time, and his relatives didn't know what he looked like, so they were in an uproar:
"It's too outrageous to act so perverted."
"And that hair, are all artists so unique?"
"This kid wasn't like this before, why does he look like a different person now?"
"..."
Qi Ruishan thought it was a mistake to call Qi Bai back this time, this little bastard just wanted to piss me off!
When everyone was talking about it, Qi Ruishan was relieved, and Bo Yingying patted Bo Ningnan who was still trembling on the shoulder to show comfort, and then she put on a remorseful expression and appeared in front of the people, holding Qi Ruishan's arm to calm him down:
"It's because I didn't think carefully. I should take Ningnan out for two days. It's just that my mother Mingshou is busy, so I forgot."
Everyone comforted her, and Qi Ruishan glared at her:
"You are the wife I am marrying, why do you want to go out to live? If you want to go out, it is he who gets out!"
Bo Yingying shook her head, bit her lip and stopped talking.
***
The next day, Qi Bai's grandma died, and everyone prepared the tribute food in an orderly manner, and knelt down and offered incense.
Yesterday's episode left a deep impression on everyone. Everyone was worried that Qi Bai, who would blow up at one point, would act as a monster and mess up Mingshou. Fortunately, although the other party had a bad face, he kept his own place and did not make trouble again.
During the dinner, because Qi Ruishan missed Grandma Qi Bai too much, he kept crying while hugging the portrait. Someone wiped away the tears, while Qi Bai watched coldly.
He still remembers that grandma had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage because of some out of breath.
But apparently these people forgot.
It will be New Year's Eve in two days. After Mingshou is over, everyone bid farewell and went home. The villa was lively for a short day, and then returned to calm.
Qi Ruishan's pretentious appearance made Qi Bai unwilling to stay here for a moment, so he went upstairs to get the suitcase and was ready to leave.
Qi Ruishan was not at home to see off the guests, and Bo Ningnan went back to her room to do her homework for the winter vacation. Bo Yingying was the only one on the first floor.
Seeing that Qi Bai was about to leave, Bo Yingying was not surprised, she just said:
"Ningnan is your sister, she is just a child, she is innocent."
Qi Bai stopped and looked at her: "She is innocent, how about you?"
"You know, I'm also a victim." Bo Yingying calmly raised her hand to stroke the hair on the side of her face, and looked at Qi Bai without avoiding:
"I graduated from the Department of Architecture of 985 University, and I have a boyfriend whom I have been dating for three years. If I hadn't become your dad's assistant during my internship, I should be an architect now, and I have a happy family."
Qi Bai looked indifferent: "You didn't choose to call the police, but chose to marry a scumbag and have children for him. Should I praise you?"
Bo Yingying laughed after hearing this, and asked Qi Bai softly:
"What happened after calling the police? He fined him and went to jail, what about me? What should I do?"
"He paid for his future, but my boyfriend doesn't want me anymore, I have to have an abortion, and I lost my job. Who will pay me for all this?"
The author has something to say:
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang: Who smokes?Smoking is bad for your health!
A few seconds later, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother saw Xiaobai playing cool: Oh, Xiaobai, it's okay, just control the amount.
Professor Jiang who made a small report:?
Xiaobai: ??ヽ(°▽°)ノ?
In the room, not only the aisle bay window was fully occupied, but the bed was only left with a plank, the mattress stood upright, and a few suitcases and a few quilts were placed on it.
Qi Bai's face darkened instantly, and he didn't even look at what was in the carton, picked it up and threw it into the corridor.
There was a sound of pinging, bang, and Qi Ruishan cursed even louder:
"Little bastard, what are you doing upstairs, you demolish the house as soon as you come back, it's really against the sky!"
Bo Yingying persuaded her a few words, and Qi Bai on the third floor threw a rattan box down, and it just landed on her feet, which made her tremble in fright, and she looked at Qi Ruishan with lingering fear:
"Old Qi, why does Xiaobai seem to be more irritable than before?"
Qi Ruishan stretched out his hand to caress his chest and panted heavily, obviously being very angry by Qi Bai's outburst.
After Qi Bai threw all the things out, Bo Yingying covered her mouth and walked across the messy corridor:
"The floor is smashed..."
Walking to the door, before Bo Yingying stepped in, Qi Bai's sad voice came:
"You dare to come in and try."
Bo Yingying stagnated, and she stopped at the door of Qi Bai's room without going any further, and said angrily:
"Look at you kid, you just got so angry when you came home from the Chinese New Year, it made your father very angry."
After she finished speaking, she explained everything in front of her eyes: "If you don't come back for two or three years, it's a waste to leave the room empty. Just use it to put some unused sundries. If you say you, if you want to come back, don't let me know in advance. I'm fine too." Tell someone to clean up."
Qi Bai sneered and looked at Bo Yingying: "Qi Ruishan can't hear you, is it interesting for you to pretend to be here?"
More than ten years ago, in order to enter the upper class, Qi Ruishan bought this single-family three-storey villa with all his wealth. There are more than a dozen rooms in the basement. Does he have to use his room to store sundries?
The smile on Bo Yingying's face grew stronger, she leaned against the door frame and played with her hair:
"Interesting."
Bo Yingying is still very young, and she has been well maintained all these years, now she is smiling and softening her voice, she looks gentle and kind to anyone.
Her red lips parted slightly, but the words that came out of her mouth did not match the gentle smile on her face:
"This is what your Qi family owes me. I think it's quite interesting to see that you are not doing well."
I have heard similar words too many times, the young Qi Bai would still be hysterical and resentful, but now Qi Bai would just close the door with a cold face.
After being shut down, Bo Yingying was not angry, and went downstairs slowly. When she reached the corner, her expression suddenly changed, and she said to Qi Ruishan who was eating with a sad face:
"Throwing something on it, it's because we don't want to have dinner."
Qi Ruishan snorted: "It's good if you don't eat, and I just don't worry about starving to death. Look at him, he's neither male nor female all day long, what does he look like!"
"Anyway, he's your own son." Bo Yingying looked at him disapprovingly:
"Nowadays young people have a stubborn temper. It's good to coax him into puberty. I'll send him some food later, so he won't starve himself to death."
Qi Ruishan raised his eyebrows: "I'll follow him, is he my father or me in this family?"
Qi Ruishan is a well-known architectural designer. He has been praised a lot outside, and his manly temper has also been brought home.
She didn't object to Bo Yingying giving Qi Bai food.
Bo Yingying took it for granted: "You are a dead duck."
Qi Ruishan glared at her, then said again: "Why hasn't Ningnan come back so late, a little girl is out playing like crazy all day long, what does she look like?"
Bo Yingying brought him some food with chopsticks: "Student Ningnan celebrates her birthday, and I will be back later tonight. I told you this morning."
Qi Ruishan said that there are so many things to do every day, how can I have time to remember my classmates' birthdays.
Qi Ruishan: "Let's eat, the food is cold."
Bo Yingying shrugged and stopped talking.
……
On the third floor, Qi Bai heard Bo Yingying knock on the door and said that he left the food at the door, but he ignored it.
This is Qi Bai's room, and there are heavy traces of his life:
His immature practice drawings are pasted on the wall, the corner of the desk was cut off by him with a fruit knife when he was in elementary school, the colorful mottles on the wall were made by him when he was learning to paint, the basketball was dusted in the corner of the wall, and it fell to the ground. A big wardrobe, with his high school uniform hanging in it...
He has lived in Xiacheng for many years, and spent his primary, junior high, and high school in this room.
How beautiful and peaceful life was in the first two years, how much Qi Bai now hates this family.
If it weren't for...he wouldn't have stepped into this house where even the air was disgusting.
Qi Bai slept until dawn, and when he opened the door again, all the sundries and garbage in the corridor were cleared away, and there was a box of milk and a piece of bread on a tray by the door.
With a glance, Qi Bai lifted his feet and went downstairs.
In the living room, Qi Ruishan saw that Qi Bai was about to go out again, and asked, "Where are you going to die after you come back?"
Qi Bai replied blankly: "Die where you can't see."
Qi Ruishan was furious when he heard the words: "Stinky boy, are you trying to piss me off?"
Bo Yingying came out of the kitchen with breakfast, and chimed in: "The day after tomorrow is your grandma's birthday. In the past two days, relatives have come to visit one after another. Xiaobai, what are you doing now?"

Qi Ruishan was scolding again, saying that he would be pissed off by his son sooner or later, Qi Bai's lips curled up, and he didn't take it seriously.
If possible, he would be more than happy to send his own father away when grandma dies.
After leaving the community, Qi Bai took a taxi straight to a billiard hall. As soon as he entered, he sensed that the eyes of a doll with customers coming to the door flashed red:
"Welcome, my dear God~"
"..." Qi Bai couldn't help complaining: "What stupid words?"
The owner of the billiard hall with a calculator in front of the counter was unhappy when he heard this. He was giving full play to the service tenet of "customer is God" with a smile!
Where is the idiot?
The boss raised his head in dissatisfaction, and was taken aback when he saw himself as God:
"Qi Bai?"
Qi Bai raised his hand and waved at him, then flicked it at the doll that kept shouting to welcome God, with a disgusted expression on his face:
"Chen Shaojiao, what's your aesthetic? This thing is ugly."
Qi Bai clearly disliked it: "It's ugly and noisy, doesn't God complain that it disturbs the people?"
Chen Shaojiao's forehead twitched: "...No God will always stand at the door."
Qi Bai walked into the shop slowly with one hand in his pocket, and Chen Shaojiao put down the calculator in his hand, with a strange expression on his face:
"A rare visitor, Master Bai, are you finally willing to come back from Nanfeng City to take a look?"
Chen Shaojiao and Qi Bai are classmates in middle and high school, and they have a very good relationship. However, unlike Qi Bai, Chen Shaojiao did not continue his studies after graduating from high school. After saving money from part-time jobs, he opened this billiard hall, and now he is Xiao Chen's boss.
Chen Shaojiao looked at Qi Bai's hair and clicked his tongue:
"Those female students in our class can't go crazy looking at you now? Does the water in Nanfeng City support people like this?"
Qi Bai glanced at him: "Young poor."
Chen Shaojiao suppressed the playful smile on his face and poured him a glass of water: "When did you come back?"
Qi Bai: "Last night."
Chen Shaojiao: "You live at home?"
Qi Bai looked at him: "Otherwise?"
Chen Shaojiao: "Your dad sees your hair is not crazy?"
Qi Bai smiled: "Isn't that good?"
"..." Chen Shaojiao couldn't quite smile, he carefully looked at Qi Bai's expression, and asked, "Did you come back for your grandma's birthday?"
Qi Bai let out a lazy 'hmm'.
Chen Shaojiao thought sure enough: "The matter of your grandma last year... You didn't come back in time, so I guessed that you would come back this year."
Grandma Qi Bai passed away due to illness last fall, perhaps because she didn't want to delay Qi Bai's studies, or for other reasons. In short, when Qi Bai got the news, his grandma had already passed away.
Grandma is one of the people who has been good to Qi Bai since childhood.
It was rare for Qi Bai to take the initiative to call Qi Ruishan afterwards, and angrily asked why the other party didn't tell him such a big matter sooner.
As a result, Qi Ruishan said that he would not come back for several years, thinking that Qi Bai had forgotten about this family long ago.
He also said that because of Qi Bai's dog temper, he might make trouble again when he came back, which would disturb the peace of the mourning hall, so he simply didn't tell him.
Regardless of the reason, it sounds ridiculous to Qi Bai.
Qi Bai looked at Chen Shaojiao with a puzzled look on his face: "A good person is so angry that he can't afford it. How did he manage to be so thick-skinned?"
Chen Shaojiao couldn't answer these words.
He knew that there was resentment and anger in Qi Bai's heart, and he knew the reason for it. He couldn't explain the matter of Qi Bai's family in a few words, so he didn't know what to say to comfort him.
The words were too pale, no matter whether it was consolation or helping to scold Qi Ruishan, it could not dispel the resentment and hatred in Qi Bai's heart.
Fortunately, Qi Bai quickly withdrew from his emotions and was dragged by Chen Shaojiao to play billiards.
The two of them are bored, Chen Shaojiao said that some of his classmates are also developing in Xiacheng now, why don't you ask your brother to have a drink together at night.
Qi Bai did not come back for a long time, so he nodded in agreement.
Chen Shaojiao yelled in the group, and it was silent for a long time, only the group of classmates who were more lively during the New Year and holidays immediately came to life, and several of them said they would come.
There are also people who are excited, but it is a pity that they can't talk to the scene when they are in other places, so they can only meet in the cloud.
***
Qi Bai spent a whole day playing outside, he didn't answer or hang up the phone call from Qi Ruishan, he just let it ring until it automatically hung up, in the end it wasn't enough, Qi Bai even posted a few photos in Moments.
There were those who smoked, those who played billiards, and those who ate and drank with his old classmates.
For the first time in the past few years, Qi Bai released Qi Ruishan from the group block list in Moments.
Thinking of Qi Ruishan's distraught look when he saw Moments, Qi Bai whistled in a good mood, and walked much more briskly when he returned home.
He couldn't wait to see Qi Ruishan's livid expression.
Before he got home, Qi Bai first received a call from Jiang Yi, who asked him when he would return to the country.
Mr. Jiang was heartbroken: "You actually came back secretly without telling me, son, dad is very disappointed in you!"
It was only then that Qi Bai remembered that he hadn't told Jiang Yi and the others about his return to China.
After learning that Qi Bai had returned to Xiacheng, Jiang Yi was a little surprised: "Why did you go back suddenly?"
Qi Bai lazily replied: "I'll be back when I have something to do."
Jiang Yi didn't ask any more questions, and after hanging up the phone, Qi Bai noticed that Jiang Jianzhi also sent him a message a few minutes ago.
[J]: Returned to China?
[Qi Baishi divides white]: Well, what's wrong?
In Nanfeng City, Jiang Jianzhi looked at Qi Bai's reply, pursed his lower lip, and asked: Are you celebrating Chinese New Year in Xia City this year?
Qi Bai was surprised and asked Jiang Jianzhi how he knew he was in Xiacheng.
Jiang Jianzhi replied that he saw it in his circle of friends.
Qi Bai: "?"
Qi Bai went to Moments again to confirm that he did not post a location.
Qi Bai already found it incredible that Jiang Jianzhi could guess the hotel he was staying in based on the location of the art exhibition and asked Liu Bote to send him cash.
Now, he suspects that Jiang Jianzhi has some unknown superpowers.
Before Qi Bai could ask again, as if he had guessed what Qi Bai was thinking, Jiang Jianzhi further explained:
On the fifth photo you sent, there is an address.
Qi Bai was confused and went back to look. The fifth photo was taken when they went to KTV to sing. He looked carefully for a long time before he saw the KTV address and phone number at the end of the safety instructions hanging on the wall of the dimly lit box. Number.
Mr. Jiang's power of observation...
clothes!
Jiang Jianzhi asked him again if he was celebrating the new year in Xiacheng directly.
Qi Bai didn't know why Jiang Jianzhi kept asking this question, so he typed casually: Maybe, I'm not sure either.
He didn't want to celebrate the New Year at Qi's house, but during the peak period of the Chinese New Year, air tickets and train tickets were hard to come by. Yesterday he was lucky and bought the last first-class seat.
It's only two days before Chinese New Year, and he will probably stay in Xia City.
Afterwards, Jiang Jianzhi didn't ask any more questions, but when Qi Bai refreshed again, he found that Mr. Jiang, who never posted a post, reposted a post from a marketing account——
shock!Nine hazards of smoking, a picture tells you.
Qi Bai: "..."
Qi Bai: "???"
Qi Bai himself doesn't smoke. Several old classmates offered him cigarettes when they met. He didn't bother to refuse one by one, so he took one, lit it and didn't smoke it. He just held it between his fingers and let the sparks devour the tobacco.
Chen Shaojiao thought he was fucking lazy and handsome, so he took a picture, and Qi Bai used it to send anger to Qi Ruishan in Moments.
But whether Qi Ruishan was so angry that he didn't know, now he was about to be laughed out of anger——
Jiang Jianzhi reposted the news and his own circle of friends, and the picture of him smoking is still displayed below!
He suspected that Jiang Jianzhi was secretly poking at himself and had the evidence.
Qi Bai gritted his teeth and itched his hands, and deliberately commented on Jiang Jianzhi's news:
Wow, so dangerous?
After Qi Bai refreshed the post, he saw a reply:
[J] Reply to you: Yes.
Qi Bai: ...
Are you okay? ?
Qi Bai was annoyed and funny, and typed word by word: Uncles and aunts would not repost these things in Moments!
After posting, Qi Bai felt unsatisfied, so he remarked Jiang Jianzhi's WeChat account as 'old-fashioned'.
'Old-fashioned' replies to you: Smoking is harmful to the body.
Qi Bai naturally knew what was clearly written on the cigarette package, and he wanted to go back again, only to find out that Father Jiang and Mother Jiang had also liked Jiang Jianzhi's post.
[Mother Jiang]: Smoking?Who smokes?
【Father Jiang】: Smoking is indeed bad for your health, don't learn it.
'Old old man' replied to 'Mother Jiang': him.
'Qi Baishi divides the white' replied 'old-fashioned':?
Jiang Jianzhi didn’t post a post for 800 years, so Jiang’s father and Jiang’s mother just liked and commented without even thinking about it. After looking down, after seeing Qi Bai’s smoking photo, he was silent for two seconds, saved it, and then deleted his own comments on it one after another. .
【Jiang Mu】: If you are under a lot of pressure, you can control the amount, don't smoke too much.
[Father Jiang]: Yes, yes, a small amount is fine, but pay attention to your body.
Not canceling likes is the last bottom line of the two elders.
After commenting, Jiang's mother and Jiang's father went to like Qi Bai's dynamic:
[Mother Jiang]: Xiaobai is so good, he has returned to China.
【Father Jiang】: Have fun with your friends.
Qi Bai, who witnessed Jiang's mother Jiang's father liking comments, deleting comments, and correcting a series of operations: "...?"
This time, it is true that Qi Bai can't be punished.
But I have to say that his low and irritable mood because of returning to Xia City suddenly became much brighter and not so dull.
Qi Bai couldn't hold back a laugh.
It is different from the sneer and sarcasm when facing Qi Ruishan and Bo Yingying, and it is not the casual smile that seems to grow on his face when he is with Chen Shaojiao.
This was the first time he laughed from the bottom of his heart after returning to Xia City.
Qi Bai chatted with Jiang Jianzhi in private: Mr. Jiang, how old are you, and why are you still making small reports to your parents.
He has always been curious about how Jiang's mother and father's temperament raised Jiang Jianzhi to be such a stuffy, old-fashioned old man.
And Professor Jiang also witnessed the scene where his parents turned against each other, and he frowned and remained silent.
When receiving Qi Bai's message, Jiang Jianzhi was thinking about how to reply so as not to overdo it, and the other party's message came again:
[Qi Baishi divides white]: But it's cute.
Mr. Jiang, who has always been mature and prudent, suddenly looked like a primary school student. Qi Bai's inner anger was dissipated, and he felt a little contrast.
Qi Bai has always been magnanimous, and he can say whatever he thinks in his heart.
Except for Qi Bai, no one has ever described Jiang Jianzhi as cute. Everyone mentioned Professor Jiang as: cold-blooded, ruthless, indifferent, meticulous, and emotionless.
After seeing Qi Baihua, Professor Jiang was stunned for a moment.
cute?
Jiang Jianzhi doesn't think he's cute. Since he was three years old, this word seems to be out of touch with him, but the person on the other end of the phone...
Professor Jiang still remembers the reddened ear tips when the other party pretended to be calm in the cafe.
After chatting with Jiang Jianzhi, Qi Bai's mood obviously improved. When he returned to the villa and faced Qi Ruishan's questioning, he could still ask back with a smile:
"You care about me? Isn't Bo Ningnan enough for you?"
Qi Ruishan was furious again: "Little bastard..."
Qi Bai's expression remained unchanged: "I'm a little beast, what about you?"
The father of the little beast is naturally a big beast, and someone beside him couldn't listen anymore: "Qi Bai, how can you talk to your father like that?"
Grandma Qi Bai’s Mingshou and Chinese New Year, several close relatives have already arrived, they are sitting in the living room eating melon seeds and chatting, seeing Qi Bai and Qi Ruishan father and son confronting each other, they stand up and speak:
"Anyway, he is also your father."
At this moment, a timid female voice came from the side: "Brother."
Qi Bai's temples twitched, and he looked along the source of the sound, and saw Bo Ningnan holding a fruit plate and looking at him at the side of the restaurant, as if he didn't dare to come over.
Qi Bai laughed immediately, pointed at Bo Ningnan and asked the relative who had spoken just now, with a mocking tone:
"My dad? The one who divorced for a year and brought back a three-year-old girl who called my brother's dad?"
Bo Ningnan, who was pointed at by him, trembled visibly with the naked eye. Bo Yingying frowned after hearing this, and before she could speak, someone had already spoken for her:
"Ningnan is Yingying's child. It has nothing to do with your father. You child, why don't you believe me when I tell you so many times?"
Qi Bai snorted coldly: "Her surname is Bo, isn't it Qi Ruishan's seed?"
After finishing speaking, Qi Bai turned to Qi Ruishan and asked lightly, "Why don't you go for a paternity test?"
As for Bo Ningnan's face, which looks more like Qi Ruishan's than his, can she use her surname as Bo Yingying as a fig leaf?
The house is full of relatives and friends, everyone knows the past ten years ago, but because of the bad feelings, they can only talk about it, let Qi Bai stop thinking about it, let him admit that Bo Ningnan is not Qi Ruishan illegitimate child.
It's tacit, so that everyone can get along.
Qi Baiming blatantly told the old things in front of so many people, Qi Ruishan's face was flushed, he didn't know whether he was ashamed or angry, and shook his hands to tell Qi Bai to get out.
Qi Bai left the sentence 'After tomorrow, you won't come back even if you beg me' and went upstairs.
Qi Bai didn't come back for a long time, and his relatives didn't know what he looked like, so they were in an uproar:
"It's too outrageous to act so perverted."
"And that hair, are all artists so unique?"
"This kid wasn't like this before, why does he look like a different person now?"
"..."
Qi Ruishan thought it was a mistake to call Qi Bai back this time, this little bastard just wanted to piss me off!
When everyone was talking about it, Qi Ruishan was relieved, and Bo Yingying patted Bo Ningnan who was still trembling on the shoulder to show comfort, and then she put on a remorseful expression and appeared in front of the people, holding Qi Ruishan's arm to calm him down:
"It's because I didn't think carefully. I should take Ningnan out for two days. It's just that my mother Mingshou is busy, so I forgot."
Everyone comforted her, and Qi Ruishan glared at her:
"You are the wife I am marrying, why do you want to go out to live? If you want to go out, it is he who gets out!"
Bo Yingying shook her head, bit her lip and stopped talking.
***
The next day, Qi Bai's grandma died, and everyone prepared the tribute food in an orderly manner, and knelt down and offered incense.
Yesterday's episode left a deep impression on everyone. Everyone was worried that Qi Bai, who would blow up at one point, would act as a monster and mess up Mingshou. Fortunately, although the other party had a bad face, he kept his own place and did not make trouble again.
During the dinner, because Qi Ruishan missed Grandma Qi Bai too much, he kept crying while hugging the portrait. Someone wiped away the tears, while Qi Bai watched coldly.
He still remembers that grandma had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage because of some out of breath.
But apparently these people forgot.
It will be New Year's Eve in two days. After Mingshou is over, everyone bid farewell and went home. The villa was lively for a short day, and then returned to calm.
Qi Ruishan's pretentious appearance made Qi Bai unwilling to stay here for a moment, so he went upstairs to get the suitcase and was ready to leave.
Qi Ruishan was not at home to see off the guests, and Bo Ningnan went back to her room to do her homework for the winter vacation. Bo Yingying was the only one on the first floor.
Seeing that Qi Bai was about to leave, Bo Yingying was not surprised, she just said:
"Ningnan is your sister, she is just a child, she is innocent."
Qi Bai stopped and looked at her: "She is innocent, how about you?"
"You know, I'm also a victim." Bo Yingying calmly raised her hand to stroke the hair on the side of her face, and looked at Qi Bai without avoiding:
"I graduated from the Department of Architecture of 985 University, and I have a boyfriend whom I have been dating for three years. If I hadn't become your dad's assistant during my internship, I should be an architect now, and I have a happy family."
Qi Bai looked indifferent: "You didn't choose to call the police, but chose to marry a scumbag and have children for him. Should I praise you?"
Bo Yingying laughed after hearing this, and asked Qi Bai softly:
"What happened after calling the police? He fined him and went to jail, what about me? What should I do?"
"He paid for his future, but my boyfriend doesn't want me anymore, I have to have an abortion, and I lost my job. Who will pay me for all this?"
The author has something to say:
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang: Who smokes?Smoking is bad for your health!
A few seconds later, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother saw Xiaobai playing cool: Oh, Xiaobai, it's okay, just control the amount.
Professor Jiang who made a small report:?
Xiaobai: ??ヽ(°▽°)ノ?
