Back to when the Great Demon King was a child

[1. Sweets]

Although Chen Yue bought quite a few fireworks, Qiao Jianuo and Jin Chu couldn't help setting them off one after another, and they finished setting off the fireworks in less than half an hour.

Fortunately, at this time, other people in the open space were already excited, and one after another fireworks flew into the night sky, blooming piece by piece in the night sky, like clusters of flowers, very beautiful.

Of course, the most beautiful one is the fireworks set off by Lian Jinhua and his parents. After all, all the fireworks are released.

Qiao Jianuo pulled Jin Chu to sit down on a big rock closest to Lian's family, with his hands on his knees, watching the fireworks quietly, waiting for the arrival of the New Year.

Although Giorgano ate a lot at night, he still felt a little hungry after tossing around for so long just now. He rubbed his stomach, regretting that he didn't bring some snacks when he went out.

Just after thinking about it, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side in front of him.

holding something in hand.

Qiao Jianuo was stunned for a moment, and then he took a closer look. It turned out to be the Dove chocolate that Ji Jian gave him before, and it hadn't been opened yet.

He looked along that hand, and saw Jin Chu tilting his head, looking at him with a cold expression, the corners of Jin Chu's mouth were habitually pursed, always looking indifferent and numb, his pair of hands reflected countless fire lights There is only Giorgio in the middle of his eyes.

Qiao Jianuo looked at Jin Chu, then at the Dove chocolate in Jin Chu's hand: "Why don't you eat it?"

After getting the chocolate from Ji Jian, Qiao Jianuo divided the three pieces of chocolate into three parts. He and Jin Chu each had one piece, and the remaining piece was given to Qiao Dong and Chen Yue, and lied that he and Jin Chu were together. Qiao Dong and Chen Yue had no doubts about saving enough pocket money to buy it.

In his previous life, Giorgano was indifferent to chocolate, except for receiving chocolate from the opposite sex from time to time, he had never bought chocolate himself.

However, when he was reborn in [-]s, the family rarely bought snacks. Giorgio usually had nothing to eat, so he finished that piece of chocolate in one day.

He thought that Jin Chu had eaten the chocolate long ago.

After hearing what he said, Jin Chu just shook his head and said, "I don't like to eat this."

No wonder you don't like it!

Giorgio recalled that in his previous life, there was a woman who stalked him. Whether it was Valentine's Day or returning from a business trip abroad, she always liked to send him various chocolates, some made by herself, and some made by a pastry chef. There is no other reason—because Giorjano ate up all the chocolates she gave every time.

Later, Giorgio explicitly rejected the woman, but unexpectedly, the woman cried very sadly, and asked him why he still ate the chocolate she gave him since he didn't like her.

At that time, Giorgio was very helpless, thinking that every time the woman put down the chocolate, she would leave, and he would not be given a chance to return it. He could only eat it except throw it away.

And Qiao Jianuo originally planned to throw away those chocolates, but he didn't know why Jin Chu had a fit, he insisted on eating those chocolates in front of him every time, and threw the packaging in the trash can in his office .

Thinking about it now, Giorgio was a little surprised.

Jin Chu, who liked chocolate so much in his previous life, actually said he didn't like chocolate?

Qiao Jianuo didn't believe it, took the chocolate, tore open the package, broke the chocolate in half, and handed half to Jin Chu: "We each have half."

Jin Chu looked down at the half piece of chocolate pinched in wrapping paper in Qiao Jianuo's hand, moved it aside in resistance, his eyebrows were almost tied into a knot: "I won't eat this."

Giorgio handed it forward again: "Don't you like chocolate very much?"

Jin Chu continued to move aside: "When did I say I like eating this?"

I said it in my previous life!

Giorgio answered confidently in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, he could only coax and persuade: "Maybe you haven't eaten chocolate before, so you think it's bad, but actually chocolate is delicious, maybe After you eat a little bit, you love it."

With that said, Giorgio was about to hand the chocolate to Jin Chu's mouth.

Just when the chocolate was about to touch Jin Chu's lips, Jin Chu suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Qiao Jianuo's wrist.

Jin Chu's fingers were slender, with distinct phalanges, and he looked particularly attractive when he grabbed Qiao Jianuo's wrist, but his strength was so strong that he also grabbed Qiao Jianuo's pain, and he couldn't help hissing.

"Oh, it hurts..." Qiao Jianuo instinctively wanted to withdraw his hand, but Jin Chu grabbed him very tightly, and his voice was tinged with anger, "Jin Chu, what are you doing?"

Jin Chu came back to his senses suddenly, only then realized his actions belatedly.

After a moment of daze, Jin Chu quickly let go of his hand, while turning his head away from the chocolate that Qiao Jianuo handed him.

"I said I don't like to eat this." Jin Chu subconsciously emphasized his tone, and then he paused for a long time, as if caught in some bad memory, he frowned and whispered, "This is dark chocolate, I used to eat it Pass this, very bitter, not my favorite taste."

"..."

Qiao Jianuo stared blankly at Jin Chu, suddenly not knowing what to say.

After feeling the other party's silence, Jin Chu turned his head, looked at Qiao Jianuo expressionlessly, and did not speak.

The air suddenly became dull.

Fireworks bloomed in the night sky one after another, making a bang bang bang sound, and the sound of everyone laughing and playing in the open space not far away, but the lively atmosphere seemed to be separated from them by a transparent and thick glass.

Inside and outside the glass are two completely different worlds.

After a long while, Qiao Jianuo heard Jin Chu's plain voice in his ear again: "I like sweets."

"..."

"I don't like drinking soy milk."

"..."

"I don't like apples either."

"..."

Qiao Jianuo remained silent except for being silent. It was the first time he felt so intuitively that Jin Chu in his previous life and Jin Chu in this life were two completely different people. They had different personalities, different hobbies, and different ideas.

At least in his previous life, Qiao Jianuo had never heard of the saying that Jin Chu liked to eat sweets. He ate spicy food, so Jin Chu ate spicy food with him. He drank soy milk, and Jin Chu drank soy milk with him...

Qiao Jianuo always thought that he knew Jin Chu's little hobbies very well, but it was only now that he realized that those so-called understandings were just his self-righteousness.

He has never really understood Jin Chu, just like he can't figure out Jin Chu's thoughts at all now.

In an instant, an unprecedented sense of frustration hit Giorgano crazily.

Without even giving him a little room to breathe, he was completely swallowed up.

Giorgio slowly withdrew his hand that had been raised in mid-air, and put the two broken pieces of chocolate back into the plastic packaging. He opened his mouth, and it took a lot of effort to utter a few words: "I see. .”

Jin Chu lowered his eyelids and didn't look at him.

After a while, Giorgio suddenly jumped off the rock and ran away with the chocolate.

After Qiao Jianuo ran a certain distance, Jin Chu raised his eyes and quietly looked at Qiao Jianuo's back as he ran farther and farther.

Just now he really wanted to tell Giorgio that he didn't mean to blame Giorgio for what he said, he just wanted Giorgio to know him better, instead of treating him well with those wrong information.

However, those words circled around on the tip of his tongue, and finally disappeared without a sound.

Forget it.

fair enough.

With a sense of distance, it will not be so uncomfortable when separated in the future.

Thinking of this, Jin Chu's thoughts slowly returned to that autumn four or five years ago.

Teng Jing led him to guard outside the gate of the Jin family for a day and a night. Originally, the Jin family did not intend to let them in, but they happened to meet relatives who came to visit. Out of face, the old lady of the Jin family had to arrange a housekeeper to bring them into the Jin family.

At the dinner, the table was full of people.

Teng Jing and Jin Chu's mother and son sat in the most remote corner, hot dishes were not served in front of them, and no one noticed them. Only a few relatives' children came to talk to Jin Chu.

Those children thought that Jin Chu was good-looking, but they didn't like to talk too much, so they chattered around Jin Chu.

A little girl took out a piece of Dove dark chocolate and gave it to Jin Chu.

Jin Chu looked at the little girl with cold eyes, neither spoke nor took the chocolate.

Seeing this, Teng Jing quietly pinched Jin Chu's arm, gritted her teeth with a smile and said: "My sister brought you food, hurry up and take it."

Jin Chu felt a sharp pain in his arm, his face turned pale, and he reached out to take the chocolate: "Thank you."

Seeing Jin Chu speak, the little girl instantly dissipated a lot of the timidity in her expression. Her eyes brightened a little, and she boldly said, "Brother, try it, it's delicious."

Jin Chu remained expressionless, secretly grasping the chocolate in his hand.

He doesn't want to eat.

It's a pity that he had to eat it, because Teng Jing kept urging him, as if if he didn't eat that piece of chocolate, he would just stuff it into his mouth, so he tore off the package slowly, put it in his mouth and bit it a mouthful.

In the next second, the bitter taste on the tip of his tongue forced Jin Chu to reflexively spit out the chocolate from his mouth.

The little girl who was looking at him with a face full of anticipation froze for a moment.

Teng Jing was also stunned, followed by surging anger, she snatched the remaining chocolate from Jin Chu's hand, and stuffed it into his mouth as Jin Chu imagined.

At that moment, Teng Jing's face was almost contorted, and her expression was as fierce as if she was treating her father and enemy. She even forgot that she was still in Jin's restaurant, and cursed extremely angrily: "Are you looking for death? How dare my sister give you chocolate?" Spit it out? Who told you to be so rude... eat it, eat it for me!"

Teng Jing's voice overshadowed the others' voices.

For a moment, all the people present were quiet, and they looked at Teng Jing, who was stuffing chocolate into Jin Chu's mouth like crazy, and Jin Chu, who was struggling desperately, with surprised expressions.

The faces of Jin Hailin and Mrs. Jin turned pale and green, green and red again, which was quite wonderful.

"Teng Jing!" Jin Hailin slapped the dining table, stood up and pointed to the door of the restaurant, shouting angrily, "Take your son and get out!"

Then, Teng Jing took Jin Chu away in disgrace.

That night, Teng Jing cried and made noises in the rented room, cursing and saying that Jin Chu had ruined her chance to enter Jin's house, and that she managed to show herself in front of Jin's family, but Jin Chu messed it up.

The young Jin Chu stood numbly at the door of the bedroom, looking at Teng Jing who looked like a lunatic with dull eyes. He seemed to feel something, and raised his hand to touch the corner of his mouth.

There is blood.

Teng Jing's nails scratched his skin at some point, as if stuffing chocolate into his mouth.

He thought he might never eat that chocolate again in his life.

He hates chocolate.

[2. New Year]

Qiao Jianuo ran to the nearby streets in one breath, and it took him almost 10 minutes to find a small supermarket that was still open. He used the lucky money Qiao Dong gave him to buy a bag of snacks, all of which were sweets.

Back in the open space, the fireworks bought by Lian Jinhua's family hadn't finished yet. Lian Jinhua, Ge Hang Wu Yi and others squatted in a circle, discussing what kind of fireworks to set off next.

Unexpectedly, he caught a glimpse of Qiao Jianuo running by, Ge Hang's face flashed a look of displeasure, he stood up immediately, and shouted Qiao Jianuo's name at the top of his voice.

Qiao Jianuo stopped and looked back at Ge Hang with obvious impatience: "What's the matter?"

Ge Hang choked for a moment, and was immediately annoyed by Qiao Jianuo's arrogant appearance: "Your family's fireworks have been set off long ago, right? How dare you take out so few fireworks? You were not here just now, and you didn't see Lian Jinhua's fireworks are super beautiful, many times more beautiful than yours!"

"..."

Qiao Jianuo, who thought that Ge Hang had something important to do, was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

childish.

"It's better to have fewer fireworks at my house than to have no fireworks at your house." Qiao Jianuo said with a smile, "You can only beg Lian Jinhua to watch some fireworks. Did he let you touch the fireworks tube just now?"

Ge Hang lost his breath in an instant.

Qiao Jianuo was right, all the fireworks in Lian Jinhua's house were set off by Lian Jinhua, and they could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

Ge Hangqing thought for a while with a straight face, then raised his head again, like a aggressive rooster, and yelled in a rough voice: "I would rather not set off fireworks than set off your ugly fireworks, it is better to watch Lian Jinhua light fireworks!"

Giorgio hung the plastic bag on his wrist, crossed his arms, and said with a playful smile, "So I'm here, right?"

Ge Hang was startled.

"Since Lian Jinhua's fireworks are so beautiful, let's watch them together. Anyway, I don't have to pay, and I can still see such expensive fireworks. Isn't it a bargain?"

At the end, Qiao Jianuo said gratefully, "Thank you, Ge Hang, if you hadn't reminded me specially, I wouldn't have gotten this great bargain.

"..."

Ge Hang was stunned by Giorgio's brazen words, and it took him a long time to break free from the state of shock, and then he was so angry that he was about to explode, pointing at Giorgio and almost speechless, "You, how can you Is that so?!"

Qiao Jianuo was at ease: "What about me?"

Ge Hang said angrily: "You are shameless!"

Qiao Jianuo said lightly: "I'm shameless when I look at other people's fireworks? Then you have been begging Lian Jinhua to watch the fireworks for so long, and you have watched other people's fireworks. Isn't it too shameful for you?" gone?"

Ge Hang couldn't say that he couldn't speak to Qiao Jianuo, and was ridiculed by Qiao Jianuo in front of so many children, his self-esteem was broken, and he was so wronged that he wiped away his tears. He stared at Qiao Jianuo fiercely with red eyes, It seemed as if he was about to pounce on Giorgio in the next second.

Qiao Jianuo wasn't afraid at all, and smiled calmly at Ge Hang.

Ge Hang's chest heaved up and down twice suddenly, as if he was about to faint from anger at any time.

At this moment, Lian Jinhua, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "If you don't want to watch me set off fireworks, get out of here, and don't make trouble here."

Hearing this, Ge Hang regained his energy in an instant, baring his teeth and yelling at Qiao Jianuo: "That's right, get out of here!"

Lian Jinhua said, "I'm talking about you."

Ge Hang then shouted: "It's you! Qiao Jianuo!"

Lian Jinhua couldn't bear it anymore: "Ge Hang, I'm talking to you! Are you a fool? Get out of here, okay? You're interrupting our fireworks display!"

Ge Hang: "..."

Ge Hang turned his head and looked at Lian Jinhua in disbelief: "You let me go?"

Lian Jinhua was as indifferent as a scumbag who was breaking up with his girlfriend: "Do you know that you are annoying?"

This time Ge Hang's remaining self-esteem was also shattered into powder, drifting silently in the invisible cold wind, tears came out of his eyes, he turned and ran away.

Seeing this, Giorgio was also ready to slip away.

"Qiao Jianuo." Lian Jinhua suddenly called to him, and hesitantly and awkwardly extended the invitation, "You and Jin Chu come to see me set off fireworks, I'll let you set off a few."

As soon as these words came out, the other children cast envious looks at Giorgio.

And Qiao Jianuo was a little surprised. Before that, he thought that Lian Jinhua's willingness to apologize to Jin Chu was just talk, but he didn't expect that Lian Jinhua really changed his actions.

"I don't know if Jin Chu wants to come." Qiao Jianuo said, "But I can ask him for you."

Seeing that Qiao Jianuo didn't agree clearly, Lian Jinhua couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally just nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Qiao Jianuo originally thought that Jin Chu would definitely go to Qiao Dong and Chen Yue, but he ran to Qiao Dong and Chen Yue to ask them, only to find out that Jin Chu had never looked for them, so he went to the big rock where they were sitting not long ago Find Jin Chu.

Sure enough, from a distance, I saw a figure sitting quietly on the stone.

When Jin Chu saw Qiao Jianuo approaching, he jumped off the rock and walked towards Qiao Jianuo.

"Jin Chu, what do you think I bought for you?" Qiao Jianuo spread out the plastic bag with both hands and handed it to Jin Chu to see, "Don't you like sweets? I bought a lot of sweet snacks. "

Jin Chu didn't even share any snacks in the plastic bag out of the corner of his eye. He glanced at Qiao Jianuo who was running out of breath, and said softly, "Thank you."

Even though he said so, Jin Chu didn't intend to stop when he walked out.

Qiao Jianuo followed Jin Chu step by step. Seeing that Jin Chu was not interested in snacks, he could only put away the plastic bag in embarrassment: "Would you like to sit down for a while?"

Jin Chu said: "I have been sitting for a long time."

It took more than half an hour for Qiao Jianuo to go back and forth like this, while Jin Chu sat dryly in the cold winter wind for more than half an hour.

Unlike Lian Jinhua's children who ran and jumped, Jin Chu was warm all over. His hands and feet were almost numb from the cold wind, and he couldn't even walk as smoothly as before.

It's a pity that Jin Chu pretended to be so normal that Qiao Jianuo didn't notice anything wrong.

Qiao Jianuo thought that he made Jin Chu wait too long, which made Jin Chu angry, so he coaxed him like before: "Lian Jinhua also invited us to set off the fireworks. He said let us set off the fireworks ourselves, what do you think? go?"

Jin Chu resolutely refused: "No."

Giorgio asked, "Aren't you going?"

Jin Chu suddenly turned his head to look at him, and there was a little ups and downs on his usually calm face. He took a deep look at Qiao Jianuo, and said in a deep voice, "Go if you want, I will never say a word to them in my life. talk."

Giorgio: "..."

Oh, I got it.

Little Jin Chu is still holding grudges.

"If you don't go, then don't go." Giorgano sighed, "If there are too many fireworks, you will get tired of it. Besides, it's so cold outside, let's go home and rest."

It happened that Qiao Dong and Chen Yue also felt sleepy. After Qiao Jianuo and Jin Chu found them together, the four of them went home.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Giorgio fell asleep amidst the sound of fireworks.

The next day.

The first day of the Lunar New Year.

Qiao Dong and Chen Yue woke up very early, busy preparing the first breakfast of the new year.

Qiao Jianuo, who was sleepy and drowsy, was called out by Chen Yue, and his face almost fell into the bowl while eating, but Jin Chu, who also stayed up late yesterday, was not sleepy at all, and sat on Qiao Jianuo expressionlessly. Opposite Kano for breakfast.

Qiao Jianuo tried to find the dark circles under Jin Chu's eyes, but failed. After yawning heavily, he was a little jealous that Jin Chu's mental state was always so good.

Sometimes Jin Chu didn't go to bed until late after studying, but he was still full of energy the next day, like a tireless robot.

Giorjano hadn't finished yawning when a slap fell from the sky and slapped him on the head.

"Cheer up on the first day of the new year!" Chen Yue stood beside the tea table with her hips on her hips, and said with a stern look on her face, "Yawning just after getting up, what does it look like?"

Qiao Jianuo covered his head: "Mom, I'm sleepy, I didn't go to bed until so late last night."

Chen Yue snorted coldly: "Are you the only one who goes to bed late? Xiao Chu and you go to bed at about the same time. Why doesn't he yawn like you?"

Giorgio: "..."

He glanced at Jin Chu, only to see that Jin Chu had finished eating and wiped his mouth, and was sitting obediently on the small bench in front of the coffee table.

Well, he is no match for a robot like Jin Chu.

The most frequent thing to do during the Chinese New Year is to visit relatives, and the Qiao family is no exception.

Chen Yue married from Zhenyuan next door, her parents and brothers and sisters are not here, and occasionally she will go back to reunite with her relatives when something important happens, and other times she is even here for the New Year.

And Qiao Dong is a native of Yingshi. His parents and only younger brother live in Yingshi. Generally speaking, Qiao Dong and Chen Yue will go to their parents’ or younger brother’s house two days before the Chinese New Year for a New Year’s reunion. Take the child to visit some relatives, and repeat the same steps this year.

Qiao Dong and Chen Yuecai left Qiao Jianuo to Qiao Dong's parents for a while when they were busy working in a public institution, so the relationship between Qiao Jianuo and his grandparents is very good.

In the previous life, many unpleasant things happened in Qiao’s family, which made Qiao Jianuo’s grandparents’ health worse and worse, and they also left early. Qiao Dong and Qiao Jianuo were sad for many years before they came out of the haze of the death of the two old people. .

After being reborn, he could see his grandparents who passed away many years in his previous life again. Qiao Jianuo was all excited, but when he thought about his uncle's family, it was like being poured cold water on him.

If it wasn't for my uncle's family, his grandparents wouldn't have collapsed so quickly.
