The Midnight Owl

Chapter 158 - Off volume



“Why didn’t you tell me when I returned to Beijing?” Chi Zhuolin frowned at the narrow double standard room as soon as he entered the door, but he didn’t ask, “Why don’t you have to change your deluxe room”? Chi Yingxue has a card that can be swiped casually, and staying in the standard room, there is only one reason-I am happy.

“I didn’t tell you, you’re not positioning accurately.” Chi Yingxue pulled the only chair in the house.

Chi Zhuo Lin just stepped forward and found that his brother was sitting up naturally.

He immediately settled down and confirmed that this was his brother.

Hanging the coat on the wall, Chi Zhuolin looked left and right. Except for the chair, there were only two quilts rolled into a bed.

“Which bed is yours?” Chi Zhuolin asked. He was never wronged to stand without a stool, but it was not polite to sit on someone else’s bed.

“Both are mine.” Chi Yingxue took it for granted, with a little childish domineering.

Chi Zhuolin has a headache.

The key reason why he never wanted a child without a family was Chi Yingxue-raising a younger brother was already haggard and raising another child, he absolutely would not.

“How long will I stay in Beijing this time?” Chi Zhuolin picked a relatively untidy bed, lifted the quilt, and sat at the corner of the bed. The back was naturally straight, the legs of Erlang were raised, and fingers crossed on the knees. The corner of the bed sat out of the boss chair.

“One or two days,” Chi Yingxue lifted his chin in the direction next door, “Look at them.”

“That’s it?” Chi Zhuolin originally wanted to arrange some entertainment for Xu Wang. They are regular thanks and treats. You know, this team of donkey friends is the team that Chi Yingxue has mixed the longest, and Chi Zhuo Before the investigation, the background of the four people was very clean. Chi Yingxue played with such people without worrying too much, “Where are we going next?”

Chi Yingxue opened a packet of fruit jelly on the table and threw an orange into his mouth: “Guizhou.”

“Guizhou?” Chi Zhuolin frowned, “Do you really think you are Xu Xiake?”

Shaanxi, Anhui, Henan, Chongqing, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Hunan … Chi Zhuolin came up with a map of China, half of which was printed with the footprints of his brother.

Chi Yingxue yawned like boring, and threw a second strawberry in his mouth: “Isn’t that what you said? Idle is also idle. Traveling is always better than Hutong. It’s better to be fit and healthy. Carbon is environmentally friendly. “

“That doesn’t mean that you will end up traveling.” Chi Zhuolin was helpless. He just hoped he would go out and breathe in the fresh air.

Chi Yingxue raised his eyebrows and glanced casually at him: “I’m staying in Beijing, don’t you bother?”

Chi Zhuolin stretched his face and said seriously, “I never bother you.”

Chi Yingxue said, “I hate you.”

Chi Zhuolin: “…”

Chi Yingxuele is happy. Although he can’t get anything out of words, he is happy to see Chi Zhuolin’s words.

Who asked this man to educate himself with a rack all day long, so that every time he met face to face, he felt like he was a generation short, and suffered a lot.

“You, don’t always think about managing me,” Chi Yingxue was sitting on the edge, taking out Chi Zhuolin’s tone of voice, patting his brother’s shoulder kindly, “Take care of the company, take care of the property, If you have extra energy, get married and have an heir … “

“Are you persuading me or cursing me?” Chi Zhuolin just unscrewed a bottle of water, and after hearing it, he didn’t want to drink at all-afraid of choking.

Chi Yingxue spreads his hand, a grievance of “good intentions don’t come for good rewards”.

Chi Zhuolin passed a trace of subtlety suddenly in his heart. Although he was mad at life, but “emotional problems” never belonged to his brother’s ridicule.

Squinting slightly, he looked at the whole room again without any traces. It really did not look like there were traces of the second person, but driven by curiosity, he came in a sudden attack: “Are you in love?”

Chi Yingxue just tossed the third grape-flavored jelly into his mouth. Hearing this, he swallowed subconsciously and swallowed the jelly directly.

The fudge hasn’t softened completely yet, and the throat is sore. Chi Yingxue frowns, enduring the urge to grab the bottle of water that Chi Zhuolin has just unscrewed, and then swallows secretly. Smooth down the fudge.

Secretly relieved, he directly changed the subject: “The king is gone.”

Chi Zhuolin originally calculated the timing and prepared to make persistent efforts to see if he could cheat something, but he was disrupted by this sudden sentence.

“What are you talking about?” He asked again carefully, fearing he had heard it wrong.

Chi Yingxue raised his eyes and looked at him quietly: “Yang Wang, it’s gone.”

“Yes … forever–is gone, or temporarily …” Chi Zhuolin’s voice shivered slightly with excitement.

“Here,” Chi Yingxue pointed to his chest, “I can’t find him.”

Chi Zhuolin heard his heartbeat clearly, and it was like beating a drum.

In the past, even if Yan Yan was asleep, Chi Yingxue could find him accurately and even awaken him, not to mention that Yan Yan was not asleep most of the time, but engaged in a tug of war with Chi Yingxue in his heart.

Therefore, Chi Zhuo Lin knows clearly the meaning of the words “can’t find”.

But he didn’t understand: “How come suddenly …”

Chi Yingxue smiled at him, and under the not-so-bright lights, it was almost dimly lit: “You just thought I had a long and long dream, and now the dream is awake.”

Chi Zhuo Lin couldn’t help feeling distressed and reached out his hand to touch his head: “Wake up,” these four words made him feel inexplicable, so he couldn’t help repeating it again, “Wake up.”

I didn’t receive any substantial evidence. Just by Chi Yingxue’s upper lip and lower lip, Chi Zhuolin was willing to believe, or that he wanted more than anyone else. This is true.

The younger brother who is always in the personality switch is both distressing and unfamiliar. Even if he reads countless books on psychology, even if he keeps telling himself that the other personality is also a younger brother, but it is really difficult to do it. .

It is difficult for him to treat Yan as his brother, and Yan never regarded him as his brother.

The treatment was also stranded because of Chi Yingxue’s resistance. Although some psychologists’ treatment ideas really made him sullen, “treatment” itself is the only way Chi Zhuolin can rely on.

“So,” Chi Yingxue supported her head with one hand and smiled at Chi Zhuolin. “You don’t have to feel owed to me anymore.”

Chi Zhuolin’s brow slowly wrinkled, as if at a loss.

Chi Yingxue looked at him lightly: “At that time, you were studying in boarding school, and it was not clear why I was afraid of him, but you were still within your ability to send me a letter. Strictly speaking, you don’t owe me, but I should owe it. your.”

Chi Zhuolin finally understood, but his brows were deeper and his tone fell: “Do you think I am doing this to you now, to make up for the debt I owed you?”

Chi Yingxue raised her eyebrows gently, as if asking “Isn’t it?”

Chi Zhuolin leaned on him without mercy: “You think too much. At that time, I didn’t have any skills at all, and I couldn’t talk at home. Even if I knew that he treated you so badly, what else can I do except to accompany you?” “

“You hear clearly,” Chi Zhuo Lin Ding looked at him, there was an undoubted majesty in his tone, “I am good to you, for one reason-you are my brother.”

Chi Yingxue was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled: “Then you divide my family’s property by half, and we separate. You don’t have to hang me this burden in the future.”

“I refuse.” Chi Zhuolin didn’t hesitate at all, and refused to call it a neat, straightforward, “as much as you can, as you can’t get in and out, lying down and squandering, and finally have to sleep on the street.”

Chi Yingxue seemed to smile, “You are still reluctant.”

Chi Zhuolin snorted lightly: “There is no upper limit for the card I give you, you can try to spend as much as you can.”

A light of mischief flashed in Chi Yingxue’s eyes: “Don’t regret it when you get there.”

Chi Zhuolin looked at him with a tilted head and smiled gracefully: “If you spend money at a speed that can catch up with my ability to make money, you will win.”

“…” Chi Yingxue finally knew what his teammates were feeling when he felt good on weekdays.

Chi Zhuolin’s gaze fell on the fondant in the table case inadvertently. He frowned. He just wanted to nag Chi Yingxue to eat less sweets, but he suddenly dropped his eyes and exhaled.

“Sometimes, I think he will never be seen again,” Chi Yingxue’s voice was low and trance, “Sometimes, I think he didn’t go …”

Chi Zhuolin’s heart tightened, and of course it was clear that “he” refers to “Yan”.

“You didn’t just say that you couldn’t find …” Chi Zhuolin’s words suddenly stopped when Chi Yingxue’s head looked up suddenly.

The squinting gaze was direct and sharp, like a knife.

Chi Zhuolin’s heart sank to the bottom of the valley, he was too familiar with this expression: “Ying Wang …”

The corners of the people on the opposite side raised their lips, first of all the arc of ridicule, and then the smile couldn’t hold back anymore, and it became a real triumph: “What about you.”

“…” Chi Zhuolin looked at Chi Yingxue, who became Chi Yingxue in a flash, and didn’t know whether to be angry or to be happy.

But there is one thing he can be sure of-revenge is definitely a revenge against him that he has just made “the rhetoric of making money”!

“Tuk Tuk–“

The knocking on the door without warning interrupted the “warm time” of the brothers.

Chi Zhuolin was unknown, so Chi Yingxue got up and walked naturally, and opened the door without asking.

“The captain asked me to call you out for supper. Brother Qian found a particularly delicious …” Kang Jinxin’s voice stopped after staring at Chi Zhuolin in the house for two seconds. Unexpectedly, “Chi Chief?”

Chi Yingxue looked back at Chi Zhuolin, without looking at him, quietly looked at him.

Chi Zhuolin received the silent eviction order accurately, stood up wisely, took his coat and put it on his arm, and went straight to the door: “You eat, I will go back first.”

Kang Jinxin looked at Chi Yingxue and Chi Zhuolin, but he did n’t know what happened. Instinctively politely said: “Or, eat together?”

Chi Yingxue brought Kang Jinxin into the house with one arm, and pushed Chi Zhuolin out the door with another arm: “There is something wrong with his company.”

“Oh.” Kuang Jinxin nodded stunnedly, and then looked at Chi Zhuolin, then his eyes turned into a courtesy.

Chi Zhuo Lin silently hurt himself, but he could see the good looks of Chi Yingxue and Kuang Jinxin, but he couldn’t help making friends for his younger brother, and felt happy and gratified.

Watching Chi Zhuolin disappeared at the elevator entrance, Kuang Jinxin wanted to go back and continue to convey Chi Yingxue’s supper matters, but the other side reached over with a hand and closed the door.

Kuang Jinxin just came to spread the word, and he intended to leave after the pass, but the closing of Chi Yingxue made a subtle change in the atmosphere.

It is also strange that Chi Yingxue, who did not speak after closing the door, lowered his eyes, and all emotions were hidden in the shadow under his eyelashes.

“What’s wrong?” Kuang Jinxin asked softly, his intuition was related to Chi Zhuolin.

What did their brother just talk about? What about the king? Childhood? A series of question marks popped out of Kuang Jinxin’s head, along with those dark nightmares in the 9/23 level.

Suddenly the body was hugged.

A simple and solid hug.

“Don’t move, let me hug for a while.” Chi Yingxue’s voice was overhead, but it sounded far away.

Kuang Jinxin remained motionless quietly, letting Chi Yingxue hug him, but did not hug him.

He can clearly feel that Chi Yingxue does not need his reaction. At this moment, the person holding him only needs a thing that can be held. This thing can be warmed a little. It can be Jin Xin or a doll. Or a pillow.

Kuang Jinxin heard two heartbeats, one steady and powerful, Chi Yingxue’s, and one rapid and chaotic, his own.

Chi Yingxue didn’t want to say anything at all. He had just said too much to Chi Zhuolin, and now he was empty of heart. He just wanted to hold something slowly.

But the room was so quiet that Chi Zhuolin’s voice made a comeback.

[Are you in love? 】

What Chi Yingxue had never thought of, was just joke by Chi Zhuolin.

It was like throwing a fudge at the bottom of his heart, melting it a little bit, sweet, and tickling.

“Xiao Sijin,” Chi Yingxue suddenly said aloud, he still hugged him, his chin gently against his head, as if to continue this hug until the end of the world, “Have you talked about your girlfriend?”

“No.” Kang Jinxin looked sideways and looked at the wall next to it. There were some faint gray spots on the wall. If you didn’t look carefully, it was easy to ignore, and mistakenly thought it was white.

“What about boyfriend?”

“No.”

“Want to talk?”

“miss you.”

“that……”

“But I don’t want to talk to you.”

Chi Yingxue pulled the person away and raised his eyebrows with dissatisfaction: “Am I bad?”

The quiet and warm hug was just initiated by the initiator, drawing a hasty period that was not commensurate with the process.

Or, he did n’t care about it.

“You’re not bad, you just can’t always figure out what you want.” Kang Jinxin wanted to smile at him, but it was unsuccessful, his eyes were embarrassed, but the words continued, but fortunately the voice was stable, “You I just want to find someone to accompany you. No matter who it is, I can accompany you, just fine. “

Chi Yingxue heard somehow: “So I found you.”

Kuang Jinxin sighed and did n’t know how to talk to each other: “Let ’s love each other, like the captain and Brother Sheng,” he tried to slow down his voice, hoping that Chi Yingxue would not be angry and could listen in, “You want Personally accompany you, this is not like, it is lonely. “

Chi Yingxue stopped talking, but the temperature in her beautiful eyes was falling.

Still angry.

Situation Jin Xin is annoyed.

In fact, Chi Yingxue’s character is very simple. Following him, he is happy, and against him, he is irritable, especially when he doesn’t want to endure.

But this matter is different from other things, he can’t follow him.

Otherwise, Chi Yingxue was comfortable, and he couldn’t escape.

As long as Chi Yingxue is accompanied, he will only be able to get companionship, but Jin Xin also wants something else, knowing whether to come or not, and planting it all together, it is too bitter.

Kang Jinxin is selfish and he doesn’t want to endure hardship.

“I, Captain, Military Division, and Brother Qian, we will accompany you,” Kuang Jinxin said quietly before Chi Yingxue’s eyes, before falling to the freezing point, “Even if we leave the owl, we will always be friends.”

Chi Yingxue blinked gently, under the dim light, unable to see the emotion clearly.

“Xiao Sijin, do you know what I hate most about you?” He finally spoke, his voice was softer than Kang Jinxin, almost gentle.

Situation Jin Xin stunned.

Chi Yingxue spit out two words: “hypocrisy.”

Kuang Jinxin felt a pain in his heart for no reason.

Chi Yingxue continued with his own self: “Even if you face someone you hate, you can say a bunch of beautiful words. It seems that everyone is struggling in the quagmire, and you stand on the bank and mourn the heavens.”

“Actually, you may have scolded in your heart and don’t know how many times, but beautiful words come out of your mouth, it seems to be particularly sincere and credible.” He said that he took a step back, carefully looked at the condition of Jin Xin’s face, and finally nodded, “Well, It ’s the blessing of this face, too upright and too confusing. “

Kuang Jinxin blinked, his eyes a little dazed, and he flinched.

Reason told him that Chi Yingxue was angry because he was refused. He would listen to what he said, and do n’t take it seriously.

But emotionally, he thought, maybe this is Chi Yingxue’s truth, he just sees himself that way.

“Tuk Tuk Tuk–“

The loud knock on the door shook Jin Xin.

But he reacted immediately and quickly turned back to open the door.

Qian Ai was outside the door, and it was Kuang Jinxin who opened the door, and immediately vomited: “Let’s call you personally or not!”

After he finished speaking, he saw Chi Yingxue, who was also standing at the entrance, slowly, half-stunned, and his eyes walked back and forth between the two people: “What happened to you? You are not active in eating, and there is no table chat , What are you doing here? “

“Oh, that, Chi always came over before leaving.” Kuang Jinxin can’t make a nonsense, he can only be fooled by the truth.

“Chi Zhuolin?” Qian Ai’s attention was indeed deflected. “Why didn’t he stay with him for supper?”

Before waiting for Jin Xin to answer, he had already figured out the answer himself: “Understood, boss, it must be busy.”

“Okay, you change your clothes quickly, we are waiting for you in the lobby downstairs.” Qian Ai and Chi Yingxue finished, and they pulled Kang Jinxin out. Kang Jinxin came to Chi Yingxue only after changing clothes. In Ai’s mind, of course, he had to go downstairs with himself who was also prepared.

Chi Yingxue looked at Qian Ai’s hand on Kuang Jinxin’s shoulder and frowned subconsciously.

Qian Ai unknowingly banged and thoughtfully helped his teammates shut the door from the outside.

During this supper, Chi Yingxue didn’t eat it, and occasionally glanced at Jin Xin. Until the end of the supper, back to the hotel, Chi Yingxue still did not catch the other person’s eyes.
