After hearing what his sister said, Qi Xingchen felt happy for no reason.
The original owner had liked Liang Jing for so long. Now that he had a boyfriend and Liang Jing had found someone he liked, both of them had a home. It was a perfect ending to their past.
He dragged the box upstairs and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner with Qi Yuji. The Qi family had a chef, so he didn't need to do it himself. Qi Xingchen thought about it and said, "I'll cook two dishes tonight."
"You cook?" Qi Yuji was surprised. "Do you know how to cook?"
"I learned it when I was filming a variety show." Qi Xingchen fooled her. "It's not very good. I'll let you try it."
Today was a happy day. He didn't have the chance to cook for his family in the real world, so he wanted to experience it here.
He first washed and cut the vegetables that he was going to cook. Then, he observed Qi Yuji's cooking technique from the side.
Then, he saw this little fairy throw the unscaled fish into the pot.
Qi Xingchen was speechless.
No wonder his sister's fish soup tasted so bad.
"Sister!" He quickly stopped his little fairy. "You have to scrape the fish scales!"
"This fish is soft, so you don't have to scrape it. Also, the fish scales contain a lot of vitamins and collagen. Scrape it off will be a waste of nutrients. "
… She was actually right. Qi Xingchen couldn't refute her. He could only snatch the fish from her hand. "Sister, our family doesn't lack nutrients. Let me do it."
The stomach of the fish had been cleaned by the kitchen auntie, so only the scales were left. Qi Xingchen took the knife and carefully scraped off the fish scales bit by bit.
Qi Yuji looked at him and angrily put her hands on her hips. "Which damn variety show made you do such a menial job?!"
Qi Xingchen didn't say anything.
As he spent more time with the Qi family, he liked this big family of cannon fodder more and more. He also liked his current life more and more.
A life where there were people who cared and cared about him.
When he first transmigrated here, he was unfamiliar with everything here, so he had always closed himself off and never treated the Qi Family as his real family. He didn't tell them that the original Xing Xing had already left, and the one standing in front of them now was a brand new soul.
Now that he had a deeper understanding of the Qi Family and was getting along better with them, he did not want to continue hiding from them.
I'll find an opportunity to tell them, Qi Xingchen secretly thought. If they can accept it, he will be filial to them on behalf of the original owner.
If they didn't accept it, he would try his best to find clues and see if he could get the original owner back.
After all, this was the book world. If the storyline ended, they might be able to return to the starting point.
Fearing that Qi Yuji would be suffocated by the smoke, Qi Xingchen coaxed her out. About half an hour later, the three dishes he had cooked were ready. The chef was only left with the last two dishes. He washed his hands and went out, ready to change into clean clothes and wait for dinner.
Then, he saw Liang Jing holding a bouquet of flowers in the living room. He was facing the vase and discussing with Qi Yuji how to match it better.
"Liang Jing," Qi Xingchen greeted him with a smile. "How have you been? Is the clinical trial going well?"
Liang Jing's back stiffened and he turned around.
The moment he saw his face, Qi Xingchen almost thought that he had recognized the wrong person!
Liang Jing's body was well-proportioned, and his face was handsome and gentle. But now, his face was pale with a hint of yellow. His cheeks were slightly sunken, and there were dark circles under his eyes. His lips were pale.
It was obvious that he was not in a good state of mind.
"… You don't look well. Did you encounter some difficulties with the project?" Qi Xingchen felt a little distressed.
"No." Liang Jing glanced at him and then looked away. "Maybe I didn't rest well during the season, so I'm not in good spirits. It's okay."
"Really? If there's anything, just tell me. I'll help you as much as I can. "
Liang Jing nodded softly and continued to arrange flowers with Qi Yuji.
Although he did not have much contact with Liang Jing, Qi Xingchen could clearly feel that Liang Jing's attitude towards him was a little strange today.
He vaguely remembered that on the day he picked up Liang Jing at the airport, the other party wanted to touch his head. When Liang Jing went to visit him in S City, he also put his arm around his shoulder and acted very intimately.
Bai Ye was even jealous because of this.
But not once was he as distant as he was today.
With Qi Yuji around, it was not convenient for him to ask. He stood there and thought for a moment, then continued to walk to his room.
After a simple shower and a change of clothes, Qi Yunxiao and Father Qi were already back.
"Oh, look who this is. Isn't this our little Xing Xing?" Father Qi was in a good mood. "You haven't been back for so long. Do you still remember what the house looks like?"
… His tone was sour. Qi Xingchen explained coquettishly, "Dad, the program crew can't leave. There's nothing I can do."
"Are you really unable to leave, or do you not want to leave?"
Qi Xingchen choked.
He suspected that his father knew something.
At this time, the food was ready, so Qi Xingchen quickly slipped to the table to avoid the question. Liang Jing wanted to sit at the outermost side of the long table, but Qi Yuji said, "Xiao Jing, why are you sitting here all of a sudden? Go sit with Xing Xing."
Ever since he was a child, whether it was the original owner of the body who went to the Liang family for food or Liang Jing who came to the Qi family for food, they would always sit together like conjoined twins. The two families had long been used to it.
Liang Jing hesitated for a few seconds and had no choice but to sit next to Qi Xingchen. Qi Xingchen pushed the bowl and chopsticks to him, took out his phone, and secretly took a photo of the table.
He put his hand under the table and sent it to Bai Ye.
Xing Xing: [Picture]
Xing Xing: [Have you gotten off the plane?]
Bai Ye had a fashion event tomorrow and was flying to B City today. Before he left, he showed him the ticket information. According to the flight time, he should have landed by now. Maybe he was blocked by fans or waiting for his luggage, so he didn't have time to reply.
Qi Xingchen couldn't wait to hear about Bai Ye and kept staring at his phone. Liang Jing turned his head to take a towel and saw Qi Xingchen's screensaver.
… It was a photo of that familiar man.
He was standing at the edge of the stage. Although only the side of his face was shown, it couldn't hide his strong aura. He was proud, noble, and dazzling.
Liang Jing sneered. He didn't know if he was laughing at himself or at Qi Xingchen, as a public figure, daring to use Bai Ye's photo as his screensaver.
How much did he like it?
Not long after, the Qi family all sat at the table. Everyone was very familiar with each other. Father Qi said simply, "Welcome, Xiao Jing. I won't say much. The Qi family is your home. Take whatever you want."
"Okay," Liang Jing said politely. "Thank you, Uncle Qi."
Because of his upbringing, the Qi family and Liang Jing ate very quietly. Most of the time, they ate by themselves and talked from time to time.
Therefore, the vibration of the phone on the table was very obvious. After a short buzzing sound, Father Qi said, "Whose phone is it? Yun Xiao, didn't I say that you're not allowed to deal with unimportant business during dinner? "
Qi Yunxiao was speechless.
"… Well, Dad." Qi Xingchen raised his hand weakly. "This is my message."
"Oh, hurry up and reply. After that, you can eat in peace." Father Qi's expression changed instantly. "Don't learn from your brother and get busy with work during dinner. In the end, you'll hurt your stomach."
Qi Yunxiao was speechless. Who did he offend?
Fine, for the sake of his beloved Xing Xing, he would endure it.
However, the two brothers knew that their father only said that for the sake of their health. Qi Xingchen obediently glanced at the message.
Bo: [I just arrived at the hotel. The receptionist at the check-in desk happened to be my fan. I gave her an autograph, so I didn't reply to your message.]
Bo: [Is this dinner?]
Looking at the long explanation, Qi Xingchen couldn't help but smile.
When the two of them first met, Bai Ye always spoke two or three words. He never said much, nor did he explain patiently.
Bai Ye was changing for him.
He was so happy.
Qi Xingchen instantly forgot about his father's instructions. He held his phone with both hands and typed seriously: [It's dinner. Is it sumptuous?]
Bo: [Sumptuous]
Xingxing: [There are three dishes that I made. Guess which three?]
Bo: [Stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, sauced okra, and fried squid with soy sauce.]
？？？
Xing Xing: [How did you guess?]
Bo: [You cooked in "Poor Traveler". That's because I realized that you're better at simple home-cooked northern dishes.]
That was indeed the case. Qi Xingchen sighed inwardly. God shouldn't be so biased when he created humans, okay?!
Why did he give Bai Ye all the beauty, talent, kindness, talent, intelligence, and so on?
How could others live with this?!
Tsk, that's not right. Qi Xingchen thought about it again. The heaven-defying Bai Ye was his.
That means … when God created him, he maxed out his "luck" attribute!
Hahahaha!
Qi Xingchen tried his best to keep his mouth shut so that his family wouldn't notice his abnormality. He continued to type: [Okay, you're smart. When are you going to eat?]
Seeing the "~", Bai Ye's discomfort from getting off the plane disappeared. He couldn't help but laugh: [The brand will come over later to welcome me.]
Qi Xingchen: "!!!"
Xing Xing: [How long will it take?]
Bo: [I'm not sure. They want to talk about deeper cooperation.]
Xing Xing: [Then …]
What about the video call they agreed on?
Although they were still together this morning, logically speaking, they shouldn't be included in the video call.
But … he kind of missed Bai Ye.
Bai Ye immediately guessed his thoughts. He glanced at his watch: [Do you have time now? The brand will arrive in about ten minutes. We can video call first.]
Qi Xingchen's worries disappeared in less than a second. He happily replied: [Give me two minutes.]
After sending the message, he raised his hand: "Report! Dad, I'm going back to my room to make a call. It's very urgent. I'll be back in about seven or eight minutes. "
Qi Xiaoming: [Approved.]
"Thank you, Dad!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already run back to his room on the second floor.
As he locked the door, he sent a video call request to Bai Ye. A few seconds later, a face that he couldn't get tired of looking at appeared on the screen.
Bai Ye was doing a routine check to see if there were any cameras in the room. He asked as he walked, "Finished eating?"
Qi Xingchen: "I'm done!"
"Is everything okay at home?"
"Very good, thank you for your concern."
Qi Xingchen said some meaningless things, such as whether he met the paparazzi at the airport, how many fans came to pick him up, and so on.
As she asked, she couldn't help but keep pressing Bai Ye on the screen.
It was as if she could feel his warmth through the screen.
Therefore, after Bai Ye confirmed that there were cameras, he looked down and saw the fan's eyes wide open and her fingers blindly swiping on the screen.
Bai Ye was curious: "What are you doing?"
Qi Xingchen: "You."
Bai Ye subconsciously hid when he heard this.
Qi Xingchen didn't manage to touch him. He frowned and continued to do so.
Bai Ye wanted to tease the fan. When the fan's hand moved to the left, he dodged to the right. When the fan moved to the right, he dodged to the left.
After failing five times, the fan finally couldn't take it anymore. She asked pitifully, "Why are you always dodging?"
Bai Ye: "You want to catch me?"
Qi Xingchen hummed in acknowledgment from his throat.
The more he felt wronged, the more Bai Ye wanted to bully him. He took the opportunity to say, "Then you can act cute."
Qi Xingchen: "…"
His brain almost exploded — how could he know how to do that?!
"How, how should I act?" He asked helplessly.
"Just like the day in the washroom," Bai Ye said, "Call me brother, and you can do the rest."
"…" Hearing the other party's request, Qi Xingchen was so embarrassed that he wanted to die.
At that time, in order to coax Bai Ye, he could say anything. The situation now wasn't so urgent. How could he say it?!
Ahhhhh!!!
However, after a moment of breakdown and two seconds of hesitation, Qi Xingchen still felt that catching Bai Ye was the most important thing.
He said with a red face: "Brother, brother, brother, don't move."
After saying that, he lowered his eyes and his eyelashes fluttered twice. Because of shyness, she bit her lower lip so hard that two white teeth sank into her full, light pink lips.
Bai Ye felt restless for no reason.
— — Damn, who is he making things difficult for?
Bai Ye took a deep breath, suppressed the heat, and knocked the screen with the knuckle of his middle finger. "Xing Xing."
"… Yes?" Feeling the call, Qi Xingchen raised his eyes and looked at the person opposite him seriously.
Bai Ye changed his middle finger to his index finger, turned his hand, and pressed the center of the screen with his fingertip.
Qi Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing.
He also reached out his index finger and touched Bai Ye's fingertip.
In an instant, the cold screen was filled with warmth.
The warmth came from two passionate hearts that missed each other.
.
People in love always liked to do silly things for no reason.
Qi Xingchen felt that the two of them were so silly just now that snot bubbles were coming out of their noses. However, it did not stop him from smiling until his face was stiff.
He finally stopped smiling and rubbed his face as he went down the stairs. At this time, everyone was almost done eating. He hurried back to his seat and picked up his bowl to hurry up.
"Eat slowly, don't rush," Qi Yuji reminded him like an old mother, then turned to Liang Jing. "Oh right, Little Jing, I have something to ask you. I heard from Uncle Li that you've been quite close with a girl recently. Is there something going on? "
Uncle Li was the name of the Liang family's butler. Hearing this, Liang Jing's expression changed slightly.
Qi Yuji was experienced and could guess the gist of it from his expression. She said seriously, "I'm not interfering with you. It's your freedom to be with whoever you want. I'm asking you because as a girl, I understand girls better. Maybe I can give you some advice on dating. "
"We're not in love!"
As if he was afraid that someone would misunderstand, Liang Jing immediately refuted, "We're just, just …"
He did not know how to describe it. In the end, he said in a low voice, "We're just in contact."
Didn't contact mean that he was pursuing her? Qi Yuji saw through him but did not expose him. She raised her left eyebrow at Liang Jing and said with interest, "What's the girl's background? Tell me."
Qi Xingchen also pricked up his ears. He wanted to know what kind of person Liang Jing's other half was.
However, Liang Jing's answer almost made him drop the bowl in his hand.
"She's my patient's sister," Liang Jing paused. "She's also an actress."
… Patient's sister … Actress.
Qi Xingchen's mind was buzzing. He ignored Qi Yuji's half-finished question and said in disbelief, "You mean … Sister Tao Tao?"
After 15 seconds of silence, Liang Jing nodded.
Qi Xingchen put down the bowl and chopsticks and hid his hands under the tablecloth.
He was trembling badly.
.
Even though his heart was full of Bai Ye, Qi Xingchen often sent messages to Qi Jiaze recently to ask about the two brats.
As he expected, Tao Xuan's physical condition was still the same, but his psychological condition had improved. It was said that his personality had become more cheerful. Sometimes, when he was happy, he could eat a big bowl of rice.
This was a good sign.
Therefore, he thought that Liang Jing would not go to the step of donating a kidney.
Who would have thought that at some point in time, Liang Jing would actually walk so close to Tao Tao!
In fact, if Tao Tao and Liang Jing could be together, it might not be a bad thing. However, he always had an ominous feeling.
Even if Tao Xuan's condition did not worsen in the near future, as long as Liang Jing kept in contact with Tao Tao, sooner or later, Liang Jing would return to his original trajectory.
Deep love, kidney donation, disappointment, death.
… No, he had to keep an eye on Liang Jing!
After dinner, the table was cleared. They had some dessert and chatted for a while. Liang Jing said, "Thank you for your hospitality, Uncle. Thank you Brother Yunxiao and Sister Yuji. It's getting late. I'll go home first."
"Oh, okay." Qi Yuji smiled and said, "Wait, I'll send you off."
"No need!" Qi Xingchen interrupted her. "I'll send him off."
It was normal for him to send Liang Jing off. Qi Yuji did not fight with him and let her two brothers go out.
The Qi family's courtyard was big. It took five minutes to walk from the villa to the gate, but 20 minutes to walk slowly. Qi Xingchen deliberately slowed down and said, "Liang Jing, when did you fall in love with Sister Tao Tao … Do you remember our agreement that no matter which girl you like, you have to tell me immediately?"
After that, he turned his head and waited for Liang Jing's answer.
Liang Jing didn't say anything.
In their few interactions, Liang Jing had never not responded. Qi Xingchen asked, "Why aren't you answering?"
Liang Jing asked, "Do you really care?"
'Does he really care …?'
Qi Xingchen thought for a long time but did not understand what he meant. He said in confusion, "I'm sorry, I don't really understand."
"Don't play dumb with me."
With that, Liang Jing suddenly turned sideways. Qi Xingchen was shocked by his sudden movement and took a step back. His heel accidentally stepped on the edge of the flower bed.
Just as he was about to fall, Liang Jing reached out and grabbed him. His fingers were tightly wrapped around his arm. His face was as calm as water as he said word by word,
"Tell me, who exactly are you?"
