During the filming of "Poor Traveler", Qi Xingchen had talked to Liang Jing on the phone. His intuition told him that Liang Jing was a bit strange, so he subconsciously wanted to reject Qi Yuji.
However, as soon as he said that he did not want to pick up Liang Jing, Qi Yuji persuaded him, "Xing Xing, it's been so long. Don't be angry with Xiao Jing. Besides, it's not up to him whether he wants to go or not. The school insists that he go to the laboratory, so he has no right to refuse. "
After Liang Jing returned from Harvard's immunology program, he was sent to the Sino-Swiss Joint Laboratory for research in less than a month. He had left in a hurry. Qi Yuji wanted to send the original owner of the body off, but the original owner had refused.
Therefore, she had always thought that the original owner of the body was angry with Liang Jing for leaving in a hurry without discussing it with the original owner.
However, Qi Xingchen clearly knew that was not the reason.
He had no idea what the reason was. After transmigrating, he had only inherited memories related to the plot, so the unrelated memories were very vague.
"You two used to be so close. There's no need to be angry over such a small matter, right?" Qi Yuji tried to be the peacemaker.
What else could Qi Xingchen do? In the end, he could only agree. He got up the day after tomorrow and went to the airport with his sister.
In the backseat of the car, Qi Yuji saw him in sportswear and said, "Xing Xing, you're dressed so casually."
"My identity is different now," Qi Xingchen said. "I'll be recognized if I dress too conspicuously."
Why weren't you afraid of being recognized the day you wore perfume? Qi Yuji did not believe him at all.
Qi Xingchen did not care what she thought. He leaned against the back of the seat and looked at his phone with his back facing Qi Yuji.
Ever since Qi Yuji said that she liked Bai Ye the day before yesterday, he hadn't replied to Bai Ye's messages.
Frankly speaking, due to the fact that Bai Ye looked exactly the same as his true idol, had the same business ability as his true idol, had the same voice as his true idol, had an especially good personality, and was especially concerned about him … and so on and so forth, he indeed had a very, very good impression of Bai Ye.
Moreover, through Qi Yuji and Qi Jiaze, he realized that the storyline was not completely unchangeable. This led to his natural hostility towards Bai Ye as the male lead to lessen a lot.
If he could continue like this until the end of the storyline, it would be the most perfect ending.
He didn't dare to have any extravagant hopes. After all, they were people from two different worlds.
Thinking of this, Qi Xingchen felt annoyed for no reason. He frowned and stared at the chat history interface.
The previous message was sent by Bai Ye yesterday morning, asking how he rested after returning home.
After 24 hours, he finally replied: [I can finally sleep until daybreak.]
However, after sending the message, he waited for more than ten minutes, but there was still no reply from the other party. Qi Xingchen became even more annoyed.
"Xing Xing, we're almost at the airport. Do you want to disguise yourself?" Qi Yuji pointed at his mask and hat and reminded him.
"… Okay." Qi Xingchen did this with ease. In two or three moves, he covered himself up until only his eyes were visible. Then, he followed Qi Yuji out of the car.
Liang Jing took the VIP passage back to the country. The VIP passage in H City Airport led directly to the elevator in the parking lot. Therefore, they didn't need to go to the crowded pick-up area. They could just wait at the exit next to the elevator.
Next to the exit, they could see the tarmac through the floor-to-ceiling glass. Qi Xingchen's left hand was on the railing as his eyes followed the planes flying around. His right hand was in his trouser pocket, holding his phone tightly.
His phone still didn't vibrate.
Soon, he heard Qi Yuji say excitedly, "Xing Xing, Xiao Jing is out!"
Qi Xingchen subconsciously looked at the exit. At first glance, he could tell which of the five or six tourists was Liang Jing.
There was no other reason. Liang Jing's appearance was too eye-catching.
The moment their eyes met, Qi Xingchen felt a sharp pain in his heart. He didn't know why.
Liang Jing was wearing a simple shirt and trousers with a long trench coat. His facial features were not as sharp as Bai Ye's. Instead, they were much gentler.
Maybe it was because he was wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Qi Yuji spoke first. "Xiao Jing, Uncle Liang and Auntie went out for an inspection. They asked us to pick you up. Are you tired?"
The driver took Liang Jing's suitcase. Liang Jing thanked the driver and smiled. "It's okay. I'm not tired."
Then, he turned to Qi Xingchen. Qi Xingchen couldn't pretend to be mute. He said perfunctorily, "What do you want to eat? I'll book a restaurant to welcome you."
"No need. I'm already very happy that you're willing to pick me up."
Liang Jing raised his hand as if he wanted to touch Qi Xingchen's hair. Qi Xingchen avoided him without thinking. Liang Jing's hand paused for a moment, then he patted his arm.
"Xing Xing, long time no see."
.
Liang Jing said that there was no need to book a restaurant to welcome him. Qi Xingchen really didn't book one. However, Qi Yuji was afraid that Liang Jing would go home hungry. On a whim, she insisted on bringing him back to the Qi family and cooked a few dishes for him.
The Liang family and the Qi family had a very good relationship. When she was in school, the original owner often went to the Liang family to eat, drink, and stay. In order to express her gratitude, Qi Yuji had always treated Liang Jing as a younger brother. It could be said that other than the original owner and Qi Jiaze, Qi Yuji loved Liang Jing the most.
Hearing that she wanted to cook, the other two passengers on the bus frowned at the same time. Qi Yuji caught their reaction and was angry. "Hey, what's with your expressions? Do my dishes taste bad?"
Qi Xingchen was stunned. Liang Jing quickly tried to smooth things over. "No, it's delicious. I haven't eaten Chinese food in a long time. I'm looking forward to it. "
"I see …" Qi Yuji was easily fooled. She happily asked Liang Jing what dishes he wanted to eat.
Qi Xingchen wasn't in the mood to listen to their conversation. He also wasn't in the mood to think about where his tacit understanding with Liang Jing came from. He lowered his eyes and let his imagination run wild.
Why didn't Bai Ye reply to his WeChat? Was he busy? Or … was he angry?
It was indeed too much for him to not speak or explain for an entire day. Was it too late to make up for it now?
No matter if it was too late or not, he would try it first. He took out his phone …
At this time, Liang Jing called him, "Xing Xing?"
"Yes?" He put his phone back.
"Sister Yuji asked what you want to eat."
"Oh, I'm fine with anything." Qi Xingchen paused. "But I don't really want to drink soup."
He still remembered the fishy soup from last time.
When they arrived at the Qi family's house, Qi Yuji put on an apron and rushed to the kitchen. She handed the task of taking care of Liang Jing to Qi Xingchen.
She arranged it deliberately. First, these two were deeply in love and must miss each other. Second, they were in an awkward situation and needed to be solved.
However, the reality was that Qi Xingchen and Liang Jing were sitting opposite each other, which was as awkward as it could be.
He wasn't the original owner, so he didn't know where to start. In the end, it was Liang Jing who spoke first.
"Xing Xing, you've lost weight." Liang Jing took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair. "Haven't you eaten well in the past six months?"
"Maybe I've been busy filming recently." Qi Xingchen knew that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make, so his answer was flawless.
"Do you have any work arrangements next?"
"I don't have any plans yet, but …" Qi Xingchen thought for a while. "I'm going to recharge. Art is also a subject that needs to be carefully studied."
The reason why he said that was because he was afraid that Liang Jing would come to him often.
After all, he had said on the phone that he would "coax you" when he came back.
Liang Jing nodded. Then, Qi Xingchen's phone suddenly rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Bai Ye!
"Sorry, I'm going out to take a call."
After saying goodbye to Liang Jing, Qi Xingchen ran out of the door, and the leaves of the green plants along the way were trembling because of him.
"Hello."
"It's me. My phone was on silent during the meeting this morning, so I didn't see your message," Bai Ye said.
So it was a meeting. Qi Xingchen's heart instantly returned to its original position. "I guessed that you were busy … Is it a meeting about the new album?"
Bai Ye said, "Yes, pick the cover photo and color concept of the new album in the morning. If the sample is good, it can be mass-produced next week."
Knowing that Bai Ye's album was about to be released, Qi Xingchen was more excited than when he released his own album.
He walked in circles in the yard. "Please make it better and faster. I've been waiting for too long!"
"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible." Bai Ye couldn't help laughing. "By the way, do you remember what you said?"
"What … did I say?" Qi Xingchen was puzzled.
"When we're done, invite me to your Ocean World."
Qi Xingchen would never forget this. Seeing that Bai Ye was very busy recently, he didn't mention it.
Since he mentioned it now, Qi Xingchen asked, "When are you free? I'll fulfill my promise. "
"When the sample is out, I'll call you in advance."
"Okay." Qi Xingchen agreed happily and then bit his lower lip.
He also had a question to ask Bai Ye, but he was a little hesitant about whether to ask.
Bai Ye heard that there was silence on the other side and said tentatively, "Xing Xing, what do you want to say? Just say it."
Did he have clairvoyant eyes?!
Qi Xingchen was shocked for a moment and decided to go all out!
"That … You said last month that after I'm done, you'll give me a gift …"
This person stuttered for a long time. Bai Ye thought that he was going to say something important, but it turned out that he was only thinking about the gift.
He shook his head helplessly. "I'll give it to you on the day we go to the aquarium. Don't worry, I remember."
Yay yay yay! Qi Xingchen was overjoyed and kept pushing the banana leaves.
Liang Jing stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at his actions. He pushed his glasses up.
.
As expected, Qi Yuji's dishes were quite terrible.
He didn't know what Liang Jing was thinking. Anyway, Qi Xingchen was suffering. After tearfully stuffing a bowl of rice, he quickly escaped to his room in the name of taking a nap and gulped down a large bottle of water.
It wasn't easy for the original owner to live until now. He covered his bulging belly and planned to go to bed to digest the food.
"Xing Xing, are you asleep?"
As soon as he went to bed, Liang Jing's voice came in with a knock on the door.
He had been in his room for about five minutes. It was definitely not appropriate to pretend to be asleep now. He reluctantly got out of bed and opened the door.
Liang Jing's sleeves were rolled up to his elbows and he was holding a folder in his hand. "I haven't been to your room for a long time. Can I go in and have a look?"
Qi Xingchen couldn't find a reason to refuse. He turned sideways and let him in.
Liang Jing walked in and looked at the layout of the room. Seeing the empty water bottle on the computer table, he said, "I remember that you hate the taste of alkaline water."
"… I want to change my taste recently."
"You also changed the toothpaste? Don't you like cherry flavored ones? "
"… I just bought it casually."
Qi Xingchen had no doubt that if Liang Jing continued to ask, he would definitely be exposed.
He said thoughtfully, "I didn't rest well on the set some time ago. I've been sleepy and tired recently. If you don't have anything important to do, I'll find time to catch up with you, okay? "
"Okay," Liang Jing agreed. "Then I'll give you the gift first."
With that, he opened the folder. There were a few pages of A4 paper with English words inside.
"At the end of last year, I went camping with a friend who studied astronomy. By chance, we found a very beautiful planet called Xing Xing. I immediately thought of you. After returning to Sweden, I bought the naming rights of this planet and named it Fluophor — Luminous Body. "
"I think it looks like you."
