    Chapter 20: My Name Is… Chu Qi

    Seeing “Wu Zhen” again, Chu Qi showed no surprise, and even poured him a glass of water.

    Chu Qi lowered his eyes: “Do you know Yan Zhou Ping?”

    The address on the business card Xiang Li gave was, without a doubt, Yan Zhou Ping’s home.

    Xiang Li took the water glass (crossed out) and grabbed the hand holding the glass, his fingertips caressing the other’s wrist bone, his tone ambiguous.

    Xiang Li: “Colonel Chu doesn’t remember me?”

    “…” Chu Qi didn’t speak.

    Xiang Li covered his heart with his other free hand, acting aggrieved, his eyes constantly Snap a sneak shotat Chu Qi.

    “I’m Wu Zhen, so sad, you said when you were little that when you grew up you would be with me…”

    “Wu Zhen, I don’t remember.” Chu Qi’s tone was stiff, and it was obvious he was lying.

    “…” Xiang Li quickly took two steps forward, instantly shortening the distance between them.

    “We were the best of friends, you said so.”

    Xiang Li tilted his head to meet Chu Qi’s gaze. The other party didn’t back down, and in his cold eyes, there seemed to be glimmers of light, reflecting Wu Zhen’s stiff face.

    Chu Qi was clearly displeased with their close proximity, but he still sat upright on the sofa, gently pulling his wrist away from the other, and bringing the water glass to his lips for a sip.

    Chu Qi suddenly asked, “Do you know Xiang Li too?”

    Hearing Chu Qi take the initiative to mention himself, Xiang Li took the opportunity to sit next to Chu Qi, his hands restlessly placed on the other’s thighs, jokingly saying with a smile that wasn’t a smile.

    “You mean the kid who grabbed your thigh to get to the Main Star?”

    Xiang Li didn’t hold back on belittling himself, and feeling the touch on his hand, he narrowed his eyes slightly, looking like a cat that had stolen cream.

    Chu Qi expressionlessly tilted his hand, and all the water in the glass poured onto the meddling hand. Xiang Li didn’t expect Chu Qi to be so direct.

    He thought, based on Chu Qi’s personality, he would either ignore him completely or dislocate his arm.

    This third result surprised him, followed by immense joy.

    Xiang Li snorted.

    Chu Qi was wearing casual clothes at home, which were comfortable, but apparently not waterproof. Beneath the wet palm was an even wetter sensation, a layer of watery fabric separating Xiang Li’s burning temperature.

    Chu Qi probed, “Since you know him, what do you know about him?”

    Xiang Li withdrew his hand, grabbed a tissue from the table, and slowly wiped his hand dry. He then tried to smear the used tissue on Chu Qi’s pants.

    Chu Qi raised his leg, his meaning obvious.

    If you dare wipe, I dare kick.

    Xiang Li sensibly withdrew his hand, pulled out a few more tissues and threw them to Chu Qi, indulging in his act, unable to suppress the corners of his lips from turning up.

    “You really want to know? Beg me.”

    Chu Qi got up, looking like he was going to change clothes. Just as Xiang Li thought Chu Qi wouldn’t say it and would tell him to get lost,

    Chu Qi said, “Please.”

    Chu Qi said these words, but his eyes were fixed on Xiang Li, his eyes filled with emotions Xiang Li couldn’t understand.

    Xiang Li turned his head away, honestly confessing everything.

    “Xiang Li, six hundred and twenty-nine years old, male, from Planet C079…”

    After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes to glance at Chu Qi, who gestured for him to continue.

    Xiang Li smiled, with a look that saw through the other party, “You remember me, right, little Colonel.”

    Chu Qi didn’t deny it, nor did he want to admit it, looking at the shameless person on the sofa, he snorted sarcastically, “You’re just like when you were a kid.”

    Twenty years ago, Chu Qi was seven years old. At that time, the laboratory announced that the antidote had been successfully developed!

    So Yan Zhou Ping, who was also researching the antidote at the time, immediately made a decision—to steal the antidote.

    Xiang Li came to the Main Star to provide cover for him… sneaking in.

    But the operation didn’t go smoothly that day, and they couldn’t find the antidote.

    At that time, Yan Zhou Ping and another group ran into each other, and they were discovered.

    The ear-piercing alarm sounded continuously. The Imperial management naturally attached great importance to the laboratory incident, and Chu Qi’s parents were in the team that responded at the time.

    Yan Zhou Ping held down the restless Xiang Li, warning him not to make too much noise.

    After all, it was another group that triggered the alarm. They only needed to wait for an opportunity to slip away quietly. The fewer people who knew about their existence, the better.

    Xiang Li: “…”

    Is the noise small now?

    The other team obviously wanted to frame them and drag people down with them. Yan Zhou Ping and Xiang Li had to split up. Xiang Li accidentally broke into Chu Qi’s house while running away.

    Little Chu Qi was holding a Pillowat the time. He heard the noise from the room and came out. Xiang Li hid under the table, quietly waiting for him to return to his room.

    He didn’t expect this kid to call the police after returning to his room. Xiang Li, who heard the sound at the door, almost laughed out of anger.

    A car stopped at the entrance of the laboratory, and a group of people were pressed into the car.

    Perhaps because there were too many people, no one expected it.

    Several of them pushed open a few guards at the moment they got into the car.

    One of them ran with all his strength, and that was when he ran into Xiang Li, who had just come out of Chu Qi’s house.

    His expression was shocked, and he wanted to speak, but the sound of pursuit kept coming from behind.

    Xiang Li frowned. Before he could move, he was pounced on by the other party in a corner.

    He covered Xiang Li’s mouth, signaling him not to speak. Xiang Li also recognized the other party at this time.

    This is… that child’s father?

    Xiang Li had seen photos of him in their house.

    The other party pushed over a person, whose face was covered with a black mask, covering his entire chin. Tears hung in his eyes, and his hands and feet were bound by chains. He appeared unable to move. After being pushed over, he fell directly to the ground.

    Xiang Li frowned, glancing at the other person’s combat suit, which was the same as the one worn by the person next to him.

    “…”

    The person wanted to straighten up, but it was in vain. Angry sounds came from his mouth.

    “Three seconds.”

    A cold voice processed by a machine was heard.

    The person on the ground then made a ticking sound.

    After the second tick, Chu Qi’s father seemed to realize something. He pulled Xiang Li behind him and shielded him with his entire body.

    After the three ticks, the person who was thrown over exploded, and Xiang Li felt a sharp pain in his chest, feeling like he was about to be shattered.

    He crashed into the wall behind him, the pain making him want to curse. The liquid Flocking upin his throat blocked his words.

    Xiang Li, at the last moment, took advantage of the aftermath of the explosion to move his figure behind the bombed ruins and hide.

    A few seconds later, footsteps were heard. Xiang Li opened his eyes and only saw the other party’s white hem, which was out of place with the dirty and broken ground that had been bombed. Further up, there was an eye-catching metal ring on his wrist.

    Mechanical arms stretched out from behind him, and there were two sounds of stabbing into flesh, followed by the scene of the two being dragged away. It was estimated that the other party didn’t expect there to be another Xiang Li.

    Xiang Li’s body was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. After realizing that he could move, he followed the car.

    The car drove into a deserted building covered with weeds. Xiang Li remembered this place. It was previously a laboratory site, but it was later abandoned for some reason.

    They threw the group of people into a transparent room, and repressed tearing sounds came from inside.

    They were feeding the Polluted Entity/Contaminated Being with that group of people!

    The next night, Xiang Li didn’t know why his brain twitched and he went to see the kid who called the police again.

    Perhaps because he had witnessed the death of his parents with his own eyes, or because he was protected by Chu Qi’s father at the end, Xiang Li now had a lot of feelings when he looked at him, feeling a little sorry for him.

    “If you look at me with that kind of gaze again, I’ll gouge out your eyeballs.”

    The small figure facing away from Xiang Li suddenly spoke, startling Xiang Li.

    Xiang Li: “You’re not asleep?”

    “Your gaze is disgusting.”

    Little Chu Qi sat up, looking at the person outside the window with a slightly Smellexpression, his face as disgusted as he said.

    Xiang Li saw that he was awake, chuckled, and the next second, his entire being appeared in the room.

    The person on the bed showed vigilance, but his face still had a fake relaxed expression, staring at Xiang Li.

    Xiang Li found it funny in his heart, bent over and reached out, the other party looked at him with cold eyes, without retreating.

    When the warm palm touched little Chu Qi’s face, he still subconsciously turned his head to avoid it. The next second, he heard the other party’s voice, still with a smile, say faintly, “That’s not how you scare people, be good.”

    Xiang Li scared people, “Next time, remember to hide your emotions, what are you afraid of? At most, you’ll be beaten to death.”

    Little Chu Qi dodged that hand and turned his head away, ignoring him.

    Xiang Li stared at the person on the bed, straightened up, put his hands in his pockets, imitating little Chu Qi’s Smellexpression.

    Two Smellpeople faced each other, and Xiang Li couldn’t help but chuckle.

    “I’ve installed a shielding device around here, the hand under the blanket can be quiet now.”

    Little Chu Qi: “…”

    Seeming to be exasperated, he threw the communicator on his wrist onto the blanket. The room was very dark, with only a warm-colored lamp on the bedside table illuminating the color that stained his ears.

    Xiang Li thought for a long time, took out a Source Stone crystal from his pocket, and threw it on the blanket. It was very heavy.

    Xiang Li: “This is AT-001, take it, a meeting gift.”

    Little Chu Qi: “I don’t want your gift.”

    Xiang Li: “Why?”

    Little Chu Qi: “Mom said that gifts from unknown sources can’t be accepted.”

    Xiang Li was silent for two seconds, picked up AT-001 and stuffed it into little Chu Qi’s hand, holding little Chu Qi’s two hands with one hand, forcing him to accept it, and poking his hand with his index finger with the other hand.

    Xiang Li: “Let me tell you one more thing, don’t always hang other people’s words on your lips, don’t believe anyone.”

    “That’s my mom! What my mom says is right!”

    Little Chu Qi shouted loudly. He couldn’t break free from Xiang Li’s hand, and was a little grinning.

    “You… bad guy!!” Little Chu Qi A slapped mouth, and after a long time, he found an adjective.

    “…” Xiang Li let go of his hand, and a circle of red marks immediately floated up on little Chu Qi’s wrist. The latter held his wrist, and the AT-001 that had been stuffed into his hand fell on the blanket again. He clenched his fingers and stared angrily at Xiang Li.

    “Immature ghost.”

    Xiang Li spat out three words, and the next second, his entire being disappeared in the room.

    The huge room suddenly became quiet, and after a long time, a few faint sobs were faintly heard.

    It was also from that day on that Xiang Li would occasionally come to harass little Chu Qi.

    News of Chu Qi’s parents came a week later.

    When little Chu Qi knew the news, his expression was indifferent. No news had come for a week, perhaps he had realized it long ago.

    It was also that night that little Chu Qi didn’t “speak harshly” to Xiang Li for the first time.

    Xiang Li guessed from his red eyes, and the quiet little Chu Qi made him a little unaccustomed.

    He scratched his head, half threatening and half coaxing, “Don’t cry, I hate kids crying the most.”

    “…” Little Chu Qi pursed his lips, his two eyes almost Hold it down.

    “Hello.”

    “Hello.”

    “Little pitiful.”

    “Crybaby immature ghost.”

    Little Chu Qi pushed away Xiang Li’s hand that wanted to poke him, blinked away the tears in his eyes, and wiped them hard with the back of his hand.

    “Don’t cry, it’s too ugly.” Xiang Li frowned and said kindly.

    “You bad guy!”

    Every time little Chu Qi didn’t want to talk to Xiang Li, he would say this sentence, and then Xiang Li would disappear directly.

    But now, after little Chu Qi raised his head, he saw that Xiang Li was still standing quietly next to him.

    “Why haven’t you left yet?”

    “My name is Wu Zhen.”

    Xiang Li hooked up the corners of his lips, slowly said.

    After he said this sentence, under little Chu Qi’s gaze, his entire being was wrapped in black Spiritual Power. A gust of wind blew past, the Spiritual Power dispersed, and the person also disappeared.

    Little Chu Qi was stunned for a moment, then hugged his body with both hands, pouting, his voice mixed with sobs.

    “My name is… Chu Qi.”
