Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash Bin

Chapter 247 - A Perfect New World (XI)



Chi Xiaochi slipped his phone into his pocket and asked, “I don’t know, do I look like an ultrasound to you?”

Mother Ikari: “……”

When she found Chi Xiaochi smiling and talking poorly, she looked at Zhu Shoucheng for support: “Have you heard? Yesterday, that boy from Lou’s family beat up Sister Chu in front of a group of people, and he even beat up her eldest son.

Zhu Shoucheng laughs: “It’s also a matter of the child’s reputation. If you ask a child to confess to something he didn’t do, the child will be wronged.”

”Who says it isn’t.” Chi’s mother was quick to say, “But then again, we’re all neighbours, we don’t even see each other, so we don’t even give her any leeway.

This was nothing more than a lively pre-dinner chat, and the subject soon unraveled.

After five tastes of the dish, Chi’s father put down his chopsticks and looked eagerly at Mr. Zhu: “Mr. Zhu, I’m sorry, the dish is very shabby, do you still like it?”

Zhu Shoucheng laughs, “That’s an exaggeration. My sister-in-law is really good at her craft.”

Once he heard Zhu Shoucheng took the initiative to close the relationship, Chi’s father knew there was a door, immediately put on the most earnest smile: “Teacher Zhu, our family invited you to dinner today, there is an unpleasant request …… child is about to take the midterm exams, his grades, right, in the class is at best a not bad, up or down, he himself is not worried, his mother and I look at it all worried. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not interested in the actual results. We only have one child in our family, we can only count on this child to get ahead, if he does not get ahead, his mother and I will not even have the last bit of hope in our lives ……”

Chi Xiaochi takes a sip of the tomato and egg soup and uses the spoon to hide the hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth.

The couple are as familiar as ever with Chi Xiaochi, and they are sharp as a tack.

Inviting someone to a meal, talking about neighbourhood feelings and selling out again is just a way of trying to even the score for a remedial class and rubbing it in that it doesn’t cost anything.

Before Zhu Shoucheng arrived, he had a good idea of why the Chi Family parents had invited him to come.

But now, Zhu Shoucheng is genuinely in a difficult position.

There are still two days before the unified holiday time stipulated by the city, the parents who entrust Zhu Shoucheng with the summer holiday tuition are in the minority, and he has not agreed to it yet, and is comparing, screening and scoring them one by one, and finally taking only one private student.

This is a habit he has continued for many years.

Unfortunately, the quality of this year’s cohort was not so good, so Zhu Shoucheng had already planned to take Chi Xiaochi on board.

But after what he’s seen today, Chi Xiaochi doesn’t look like a child anymore and isn’t really a worthy prey.

Zhu Shoucheng was slow to answer, which was somewhat surprising to Chi Xiaochi.

As he remembers it, Zhu Shoucheng agreed to the tutorial the next day after his father had just hinted at it.

What’s going on at ……?

Chi Xiaochi bites into his chopsticks, his mind running fast.

From what he had observed and known about Zhu Shoucheng in the past, if he wasn’t the victim this time, it would be someone else’s turn.

He threw away his chopsticks and said coldly, “Dad, stop it. It’s so easy for Mr Zhu to come here, let him eat properly, okay?”

Chi’s father was wondering why Zhu Shoucheng hadn’t answered the question, but he didn’t want to say anything about paying the money, so he was about to continue his lobbying, when he was interrupted by Chi Xiaochi.

”Mr Zhu has students of his own to teach, so why should he take me.” Chi Xiaochi said, “Besides, Brother Lou gives me good tuition, I don’t go to anyone else.”

Zhu Shoucheng sits back and admires the expression on Chi Xiaochi’s face.

Chi Xiaochi, when he gets angry, finally regains a little of the boyishness that makes him tick.

Chi Xiaochi’s father was furious when he paid for the invitation and Chi Xiaochi got in his face: “Shut up. What do you think your brother Lou is?”

Chi Xiaochi shot straight up and pointed his finger at Zhu Shoucheng’s nose, scolding him openly, “And what good is he?”

A slap fell suddenly.

Chi Xiaochi’s father’s calloused palms and his physical work made stars appear in his eyes as he smashed him.

Chi Xiaochi was shaking with anger and tears were falling from her eyes. You’re always running away when you’re angry, who’s used to this? I’m telling you, if you leave this house today, you’ll never come back for the rest of your life!

Chi Xiaochi bites her lip and sits in place, still unable to hold back a whimper of aggression.

Zhu Shoucheng, now distressed, pulled Chi Xiaochi over and looked at his slightly swollen face, “Brother, sister-in-law, let’s have a talk, don’t hit the child.”

Ji’s father was still angry: “Mr Zhu, leave it alone. He doesn’t know how to speak human, so I, as a father, will teach him properly what to say.”

Chi Xiaochi lifted her teary eyes and looked at Zhu Shoucheng for a moment.

This glance contained a little fear, a little apology, and a little help, a wavering watery glow that caused Zhu Shoucheng’s heart to soften instantly and he liked it so much that he was busy defending Chi Xiaochi and said, “Okay, okay, I promised to give him extra lessons.”

Chi’s father gave Chi Xiaochi a tug: “Do you hear me? He won’t forget his mistakes! Why don’t you apologize to Mr. Zhu!”

Chi Xiaochi, naturally, took the attitude of “I apologize to your mother,” which made Chi’s father kick him off the stool: “Go stand by the window! Don’t eat!”

Chi Xiaochi stood by the small window at the adjoining door and secretly peeled the orange Lou Ying had given him and put a flap in his mouth.

The sweet and sour juice of the orange irritates the injured area and hurts a little.

Anger your parents and get a beating, it’s that simple.

It turns out that it’s the same in either world.

Chi Xiaochi swallowed the orange, licking the inside of her mouth, which had been broken by her teeth, with a carefree tongue, ignoring the words of her parents flattering Mr Zhu behind her, and leaned over the glass, breathing softly into the corner position.

Because of the temperature difference, a mist briefly gathered on the glass.

Chi Xiaochi draws a sketchy smiley face on the glass, tilts his head, locks eyes with that smiley face for a while, and gives a smile with the same curvature.

At this moment, Lou Ying is standing outside his house, where the light does not reach.

He reached out and gently traced the fading smile Chi Xiaochi had left on the glass outside.

Chi Xiaochi saw it and her spirits lifted, holding onto the glass and standing up straight of her own accord, standing on tiptoe and using her body to block Lou Ying’s reflection outside, just as she was about to say something to him, Chi’s mother’s unpleasant voice came from behind her, “Come back and sit down.”

Chi Xiaochi reluctantly returned to the table, picked up the cold rice bowl and was just about to start the chopsticks when Chi’s mother knocked on the side of the bowl, “Why don’t you thank Teacher Zhu? If it wasn’t for Teacher Zhu, you wouldn’t be able to eat all day tomorrow.”

Chi Xiaochi parrots, “Thank you, Mr Zhu.”

Chi Xiaochi’s eyes still look out of the small window from time to time, even though the small storm has passed peacefully.

A dark slanting shadow still strikes the glass, motionless, as if it were an ordinary still life.

But soon, a hand crept out and traced a small smiley face backwards in the corner of the window.

Zhu Shoucheng, the cautious old fox, was still on the table, so Chi Xiaochi did not dare to act too recklessly.

He only dared to sneak a smile in his bowl as he buried himself in it and ate.

After a meal, Chi Xiaochi counted that Lou Ying had painted sixty-seven smiley faces outside the window, excluding those she had not seen.

When Zhu Shoucheng was sent away, Chi Xiaochi followed him out and looked around to make sure Lou Ying had disappeared down the corridor.

But as he leaned his back towards the spot where Lou Ying had just leaned, he noticed that it was still warm.

…… a second ago, he was still there.

Aware of this, Chi Xiaochi stayed put until the scent of Lou Ying had completely disappeared into the night air, before returning home to wash up and get ready for bed.

As a result, he lost sleep.

Chi Xiaochi hasn’t slept on the floor of the house for a long time.

My father snores from the bed, and my mother’s dissolved hair dangles from the side of the bed with white stains of unevenly spread prickly powder. The fridge in the house squeaks and rattles, causing Chi Xiaochi’s pillow to resonate and making Chi Xiaochi wonder if she is not resting her head on a fridge, but a running soya milk machine.

Chi Xiaochi used to be used to this kind of noise, but after years of insomnia, Chi Xiaochi could not tolerate such strange noises, not even the scent of orange peel on his pillow could soothe him.

So, he moved a physical card on himself.

Chi Xiaochi stood up, moved his neck and looked at the teenager sleeping peacefully on the floor with his eyes closed.

His left cheek was already swollen and the corner of his eye had been swept by the pool mother’s sharp nails, leaving a little bruise of red scratches.

Chi Xiaochi pulls open the soymilk machine, removes a raw egg from it and squeezes it in his hand.

The door was gently pulled open with a click, sweeping in half a room of moonlight.

Chi Xiaochi covers the door and walks out noiselessly, then turns back in about 10 minutes noiselessly.

The only difference was that the raw egg in his hand was cooked and peeled clean.

He sits down on the edge of the bed, picks up the other Chi Xiaochi’s body and tells him to rest on his lap, gently rubbing the cheek of the “Chi Xiaochi” with a cooked egg.

His long hair is tied up in a ringlet and pulled back in a small ball at the back of his head, but there are still two strands of hair that slip behind his ears and into his eyes, making Chi Xiaochi’s own skin pale and clean.

The feeling is amazing.

Chi Xiaochi realised for the first time that she was so small at the age of 14.

Men, no matter what age, have the illusion that they are on top.

Chi Xiaochi cupped the teenager’s still slightly rounded chin and chin, his expression trance-like and gentle.

After rubbing the bruises out of his face, Chi Xiaochi looks down and sniffs the boy’s hair, thinking of Zhu Shoucheng’s touching his head before he left, so much so that the smell of scum still lingers.

And he has a bruise on his face, so at least for today his cheek cannot easily touch water.

After some thought, Chi Xiaochi picked the boy up in his arms and carried him into the empty communal bathroom at the end of the first floor, laid him flat on his back on a bench with just a little bit of the top of his head showing, put a towel under his neck, brought the pot of boiling water he had used to boil the eggs, got the shampoo, squeezed the lemon-scented liquid into his palm, frothed and rubbed it through his hair.

If someone had been up for the night and seen this scene, they would have been scared out of their wits on the spot.

Chi Xiaochi also poured water on “Chi Xiaochi’s” head while talking to him: “You can see me, can’t you?”

Chi Xiaochi, who has handed over complete control of her body, cannot answer his questions and can only look at him from inside her body.

”Surprised, aren’t you? I look so much like you.” Chi Xiaochi summed up his identity briefly, “I’m you in another world. I left Brother Lou behind and grew up alone.”

The rest of the way was uneventful.

To be honest, Chi Xiaochi doesn’t know what to say to his parallel world self.

As a child, he got on the same bridge as the ” Chi Xiaochi ” of this world.

” Chi Xiaochi” jumped off and he didn’t.

He could understand the resignation and pain of “Chi Xiaochi” at that time. If he had jumped instead, there was a force in the underworld that promised him a chance to do it all over again, and he would have defied it.

Chi Xiaochi would have accepted even if she had to let someone else take her body, even if she had to offer her life after revenge.

At least Lou will still be alive in this world.

At the very least, Lou Ying would not have had to be Chi Xiaochi.

But he did not do so, and lost this possible encounter.

Chi Xiaochi grows up, gets hit by a chandelier, is chosen as the host because of his strong obsession, offends Lord GOD along the way, and is finally sent down to this world to reunite with his past self.

The two men, who chose differently, had parallel destinies that intersected here.

Such a destiny cannot but be marvellous.

Chi Xiaochi The soft rustling sound of soft hair entwined with the dense foam in her palms.

He thought hard about what to say to his younger self.

After thinking about it, Chi Xiaochi came up with something extremely important to warn the teenager about.

–Don’t be an actor on the basis of good looks.

Actors get up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, eat worse than pigs, work more than donkeys, and earn more than people, but they are basically animals and do not deserve any privacy. The pictures are even more numerous than those with my parents.

There is nothing sadder than doing a kissing scene.

Chi Xiaochi found out he was sick during his first kissing scene.

Now that I think about it, Chi Xiaochi feels sorry for the actress.

The young girl, who has been praised for her beauty since she was a child, was so determined to break through, that the first time she did a kissing scene, her opponent hurriedly called out the card as soon as he took away her first kiss, and then rushed outside the scene and kneeled down by the rubbish bin and threw up in a heap.

But when the words came to her lips, Chi Xiaochi smiled helplessly and swallowed them all.

He shouldn’t be anyone’s life coach, including his own.

After drying the teenager’s hair with the hairdryer in the warehouse, Chi Xiaochi carried him home and put him to sleep on the floor before turning around and heading up to the roof of the rooftop.

The night breeze took the edge off the heat and poured down the buttons into his white shirt, blowing the empty part of his back into a bulge, like two wings that would extend out from behind him at any moment.

A figure crouched down on one knee beside him, “Excuse me, is there any room here?”

Chi Xiaochi instinctively raised his arms to shield his side as if to stop whatever was coming down, and by the time he realised the ridiculousness of the action, the man beside him had taken a step back with great care for his feelings.

Chi Xiaochi laughs at his own sketchiness and deliberately doesn’t look back, doesn’t deflect his eyes, and says seriously, “No more. But I still have a luggage space.”

Lou Ying asks, “So can I be Mr. Chi’s luggage. Not too heavy, and I can walk by myself, the kind that can accompany Mr. Chi around the world.”

Chi Xiaochi thought about it, “Sounds like a good deal.”

Lou Ying then sat down beside Chi Xiaochi, who immediately put his luggage to use, intending to jump on top of him and crush Lou Ying, who was not yet fully developed.

Of course, his hand was already in front of Lou Ying’s body, ready to prevent him from accidentally falling down the stairs.

Unexpectedly, his head leaned directly on Lou Ying’s shoulder.

Lou Ying : “……”

Chi Xiaochi : “…… Why are you so tall?”

Chi Xiaochi, at 1m81, looks surprisingly thin in front of Lou Ying, who is 1m88.

Lou Ying was a little surprised by the hug, and when she realised what he was up to, she couldn’t suppress the smile on her lips.

He smiled and took Chi Xiaochi’s hand in front of him to keep him from retracting it, “Shouldn’t the cushions fit?”

Chi Xiaochi looks at Lou Ying.

Like himself, he had used the card to pull himself out of his original body, so he had regained his normal height, but still only managed to top the slightly boyish face of 16-year-old Lou Ying.

”It can only be restored to this extent.” Lou Ying, also aware that he was being a bit weird like this, said rather helplessly, “For …… some reason I can’t use my original face just yet. You’ll just have to make do with it.”

Chi Xiaochi smiles and sinks into his cushions, his eyes closed and still.

Lou Ying moved his hand and touched his left cheek lightly, “Does it hurt?”

Chi Xiaochi stretched her body and let him stroke her comfortably, “It hurts like hell.”

Chi Xiaochi almost bursts out laughing when she sees Lou Ying pulling out a hard-boiled egg just like she did half an hour ago: “I don’t want it. I’m not a child.”

Lou Ying tapped him on the cheek, “Fix it.”

Chi Xiaochi is immediately immobile.

The soft and rolled egg white gently rolled across his cheek like a warm kiss.

Chi Xiaochi didn’t move a muscle and said, “Why didn’t you talk to me when you knew I was awake?”

”You’re keeping …… company.” Lou Ying deliberated on how to sum up what had just happened, “That Xiaochi was talking and I didn’t want to interrupt. Besides, I should learn to say things to my face now so I don’t have to go back later and have to learn them from scratch.”

Chi Xiaochi is half silent and looks to the sky.

The area is surrounded by a variety of industries and, accordingly, is quite polluted, and there are not many days when you can see the stars.

Fortunately, there was a breeze this evening.

” Brother Lou.”

”Hmm?”

”It’s a nice world, isn’t it?”

Lou Ying wasn’t quite sure what he was trying to say, and simply responded gently, “Mmm.”

Chi Xiaochi didn’t say anything else and Lou Ying didn’t ask any more questions.

The fish is certainly entitled to marvel at the deliciousness of the bait in front of him, but Lou Ying is sure that his Xiaochi will not be foolish enough to open his mouth and bite into it.

Chi Xiaochi lies on top of him and gradually drifts off to sleep.

After calling him twice to make sure he was asleep, Lou Ying flattened him down and they collapsed side by side on the soft mattress that had been created out of thin air on the floor.

He didn’t want to send Chi Xiaochi back to his own home for the moment, nor did he want to disturb the shallow-awake Xiaochi, so he might as well let him sleep here for a while until the physical card expired and he would automatically teleport back downstairs into the sleeping teenager.

Lou Ying turned sideways and restrained herself by placing a hand in Chi Xiaochi’s hair and kissing the back of her hand.

”Good night.”

With these words, Lou Ying rested her arm behind his head, reached out and gathered a cloud to block the moon, turned off the lights to heaven and earth, and closed her eyes, ready to sleep with him.

No sooner had he closed his eyes than he heard Chi Xiaochi whispering to him, ” Brother Lou?”

…… didn’t sleep?

Lou Ying turned around and faced Chi Xiaochi, but did not open her eyes, as if she had only been startled for a moment by a vague noise and had quickly fallen back to sleep.

Chi Xiaochi also looks sideways at Lou Ying and a sudden surge of curiosity rises at the thought of his future and his first kiss scene.

…… He remembers the first time he and Lou Ying kissed, in the mech world, with the pheromone drive that led to that misguided kiss.

That time could only be considered an inevitable physical urge, other than that, I don’t think I’ve ever once taken the initiative, and I’m not sure what kissing really feels like, whether I’d be repulsed, or anything like that.

”…… Brother Lou?”

When Lou Ying did not answer, Chi Xiaochi moistened her lips a little and quietly moved over to him, touching the corner of his lips discreetly.

Lou Ying’s fists clenched furiously, his arms tightening and bulging with muscle lines.

But Chi Xiaochi didn’t notice. He smacked his lips and tasted it, and found that he really didn’t feel anything like that.

He didn’t know much about kissing. Since Sun Lao knew about this problem of his, when he wrote scripts for him, he would also try to avoid kissing scenes, so he didn’t have much time for practice.

Today was the first time he had done such a thing.

The texture of the lips is soft, like some kind of delicious food, calling for an insatiable desire to take another bite.

He carefully lowered his head again and kissed Lou Ying on the pearl of her lips.

Lou Ying’s bite closed for a moment, and Chi Xiaochi immediately retreated like a bird of prey. It was so sharp that there was a thin, watery chirping sound where lips met lips.

Chi Xiaochi observes Lou Ying for a while and suspects that it is again his own illusion.

He felt his body temperature rising a little, and after holding the back of his hand to his face for a moment, he leaned in close to Lou Ying again, a kiss wandering half-heartedly, wanting to fall, for a while before he chose to close his lips around his lower lip.

Three trials, all of which were declared successful.

Satisfied, Chi Xiaochi rejoined Lou Ying’s arm, thinking she would have a good dream tonight.

As he closed his eyes, Lou Ying opened one eye and peeked at him, then whirled and faked a roll over, taking the man into his arms.

Chi Xiaochi was dazed and confused when he felt carried into a warm place, so he went with him.

While being kissed by Chi Xiaochi, Lou Ying thought about many things, most of which was that he might not be able to sleep today.

But the greatest blessing was that he had the time to watch Xiaochi all night long.

Lou Ying gently caresses the back of Chi Xiaochi’s heart with her hand and repeats what she has just said a second time.

”Good night, Xiaochi.”
