    Chapter 41 Holiday House

    The coconut water was a little sweet. Xi Ai took the coconut and went to hold Chu Yiqi’s hand. Chu Yiqi looked sideways for a long time and finally pulled up Xi Ai’s mask reluctantly.

    “Where are you going?”

    “I don’t know.”

    After running for several years, Xi Ai asked Chu Yiqi again: “Where are you going, Teacher Chu?”

    Chu Yiqi was stunned for a moment, and the light and shadow overlapped for a moment, splitting time again.

    So I finally returned to reality and saw the reality in the other person’s eyes.

    “But I didn’t order milk tea.” Xi Ai looked at Chu Yiqi with a half-smile.

    Chu Yiqi smiled, with a hint of premeditated pride.

    “I’ve already ordered it.” Chu Yiqi paused again and said, “I ordered it for you at room temperature.”

    Xi Ai nodded, and then started to make a wish: “I want to drink…”

    Before he finished speaking, Chu Yiqi smiled slightly and said, “Five points of sugar, soy milk, rice and mochi. Do you have any more questions?”

    “Yes.”

    “Say it.”

    “I want to go to nesting dolls.”

    “Do you think I’m the bastard in the wishing well?” Chu Yiqi originally thought it was something, but it turned out to be a matter of luck and Xi Ai had to make a wish.

    Xi Ai made trouble unreasonably: “You asked me to say it.”

    “You said it, but I didn’t say I would definitely do it.”

    There was a lot of conversation all the way, and as soon as we arrived near the bridge, we looked at a trap stall.

    Xi Ai stopped and glanced at Chu Yiqi.Chu Yiqi suppressed his laughter and finally said: “It’s really hard to pretend to invite this young lady wearing a mask to walk into the crowd.”

    “Actually, zero people care about me.”

    Xi Ai grabbed Chu Yiqi’s wrist and walked over, buying thirty circles in one go. She raised her chin and said very simply, “Look, the tiger charm I gave you.”

    “You stupid king.”

    Xi Ai had no objection. She smiled and stuffed a pink ring into Chu Yiqi’s hand: “Okay, Commander Chu, please go and try it quickly.”

    “Yes, which one does the emperor like?” Chu Yiqi began, as if he could really hit the target with a hundred shots and a hundred steps.

    “Love that jacaranda wind chime.”

    Chu Yiqi made a few gestures and threw the plush coil in his hand. It made no sound when it landed on the blanket, and of course it missed.So Chu Yiqi stretched out his hand without looking back, and Xi Ai handed it over, throwing it away himself.

    Hanging on the edge of a bamboo dragonfly.

    The stall owner is a well-dressed sister with a very good appearance.She directly brought a new bamboo dragonfly to Xi Ai.

    “Does this count?”

    “I’m not from here to hear what you’re talking about. It’s a rare occasion, so of course it’s okay.” The stall owner blinked and continued, “You are very beautiful.”

    “Thank you, you are also very good.” Xi Ai rolled her eyes.

    As soon as she took it, Xi Ai held the dragonfly up with her index finger and waved it in front of Chu Yiqi’s eyes: “Who is so powerful?”

    “No showing off!” Chu Yiqi began to fumble for a new ring.

    “What about giving it to you?”

    Chu Yiqi unconsciously smiled a little, but he couldn’t suppress it: “Then…you’re welcome.”

    In the last two laps, Chu Yiqi finally landed on the wind chime accurately. Xi Ai cooperated and cheered: “It’s very, very good. I really learned all the archery lessons in Luoyang before.”

    “…”

    Chu Yiqi was silent for a long time, gritting his teeth: “Scold me?”

    “No, that’s nonsense.” Xi Ai looked away, pretending that she didn’t even want to pretend.

    “You obviously are.”

    “You are biased.”

    Chu Yiqi covered his ears: “You are just quibbling!”

    “Ah…” Xi Ai said in many twists and turns, “Teacher Chu, how can you say that to me?”

    “Um…” A girl’s voice interrupted the quarrel between the two people, “You are… Chu…”

    “Shh-” Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi said in unison, as if they had agreed upon it, and they also made synchronized gestures, and finally added together, “No.”

    The three of them looked at each other and started laughing non-stop. The fans were also very cooperative and whispered: “Are you two alone? Everyone was here when they saw the pick-up video.”

    “They said they wanted to have a barbecue and let’s buy milk tea.” Chu Yiqi explained.

    Xi Aichao added in a low voice: “By the way, we can play quietly for a while.”

    “Okay, okay, can we take a group photo?”

    “Of course.”

    Xi Ai lowered her eyes and saw the cotton doll hanging on her bag. It was a charity event launched in the name of CP in Super Story a long time ago.

    Xi Ai also collected a set of them herself.

    Both of them were very active during business hours. The moment the shutter was pressed, their eyes looked towards the camera, but towards each other.

    The moonlight bloomed and dissolved into the yellow and white lights.

    “Are you going to have something to eat with us?” Chu Yiqi asked after seeing that she was about to leave.

    The fan obviously hesitated for a moment, but still said: “No, I went out to take pictures with my friends today.”

    “By the way, do you want to drink this?” Xi Ai handed the phone over and saw an ordering interface.

    When Xi Ai ordered five cups of milk tea and asked her fans and good friends to pick them up, both Chu Yiqi and her happened to receive the photos sent to them.Chu Yiqi collected one picture of her and Xi Ai looking at each other and kept them all.

    “Be safe.”

    “When will we see you at the concert?” the girl’s voice said with a smile.

    Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi smiled and said, “See you this year.”

    Several people came out early, and it was not too late to go back, so when Yu Nianxi came to find Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi with pillows in their hands, the two of them were quarreling.

    Chu Yiqi had just packed his luggage, “What if, if I go to bed now.”

    “Then you’ll be asleep now.”

    Xi Ai came over wiping her hair, flicked the tassel of the bedside lamp, and heard Chu Yiqi’s voice: “Then I will be pissed off by you.”

    “I’m going to be very sad.”

    “No, wait, I forgot what I just wanted to say.” Chu Yiqi patted the pillow he had been holding and began to pretend to be angry: “You are terrible!”

    “Hmm.” Xi Ai tasted a piece of preserved fruit, her eyes widened a bit, as if in surprise, and then turned to Chu to actively share, “Try this prune quickly, it’s very delicious.”

    “Really?” Chu Yiqi was doubtful.Although they have similar preferences for preserved fruits, Chu Yiqi doesn’t quite believe in Xi Ai’s character.

    ——Xi Ai is a very strange person. When you are not familiar with her, she is hot on the outside and cold on the inside. Once you get to know her, she will become childish in private, but she will be extremely reliable when it comes to serious matters.

    Xi Ai is also very patient when it comes to deceiving people.

    “Yeah, yeah.” Xi Ai nodded, with nothing else in her eyes but pride in her ability to pick out snacks.

    Chu Yiqi still didn’t quite believe it but reached out his hand and pinched one.

    Very, very sour.

    Very very bad.

    Chu Yiqi frowned and swallowed with difficulty, while Xi Ai innocently handed the jar of Hua Mei she was holding in her right hand to her face.

    “I’m sorry, dear, I forgot this jar.” Xi Ai blinked.

    Chu Yiqi said goodbye, glanced at him quietly, and said, “I will never trust you again.”

    “Is it true? I promise it’s true this time.”

    When Xi Ai tugged at his sleeve again, Chu Yiqi quickly turned his head and took one, then quickly turned back and ate it quickly.

    After a moment: “This is delicious.”

    Xi Ai smiled: “You really don’t believe me?”

    “It’s over but the hurt will always be there.”

    “Then what should we do? Poor Xiao Xi has been in the fandom for a long time and has been looking at his wife. What did Xiao Xi do wrong?” Xi Ai leaned on the pillow and picked up a square pillow.

    “This Chu Yiqi has been raising children in the fandom you mentioned for two years.”

    “Come back, Teacher Chu, we can raise him together.” Xi Ai looked at Chu Yiqi, as if it was a joke but also a sincere hint.

    Chu Yiqi didn’t react, but he answered smoothly: “Teacher Chu is too tired, no more.”

    “It’s okay. Call Chuiying and we can adopt a good baby.”

    Chu Yiqi sighed and suddenly realized that the direction of the conversation seemed to be inexplicably skewed. He stiffly changed the topic and took a look at the video: “Let our post-processing teacher go. I spent a long time digging through the video and found zero material that could be cut.”

    “You can have a holiday bungalow.”

    Xi Ai’s words fell to the ground, and both of them later realized that they hadn’t had such a relaxed time for a long time, and they were talking nonsense and not a single word of it made sense.

    But I miss this kind of atmosphere very much and want to pretend for a while longer.

    After a brief silence, the conversation finally became more normal.

    Chu Yiqi took the things he just bought in the afternoon and said, “This beef jerky is delicious. Try it quickly.”

    “If one day I get rejected from an audition because of my weight…”

    “Then you’ve really gained weight.” Chu Yiqi’s lukewarm words sounded like revenge.

    “You will repay your anger.” Xi Ai looked at Chu Yiqi with a smile.

    “You take fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps.”

    “I clearly repay evil with kindness.”

    Xi Ai said as she took out a green plum cake from her crossbody bag.

    “Please tell me I’m very good.”

    “You’re terrible.” Chu Yiqi didn’t admit it. He just took the green plum cake and quickly retracted his hand.

    “You’re talking nonsense.”

    Xi Ai’s eyes flashed with a small smile, which seemed like the moonlight had missed the plum tree.

    Chu Yiqi caught the pillow thrown by Xi Ai.

    They were able to play together in the beginning. In addition to the mutual sympathy born out of the tit-for-tat confrontation, a very important part of the reason should be that they are both “interesting souls” in each other’s eyes.

    Like making some incomprehensible words from time to time, being a dramatist from time to time, or being able to take the jokes thrown by the other party without hesitation.

    For example, they recorded a song MV not long after they formed a group, which set a campus scene.

    Xi Ai was wearing a black and white school uniform, and her dyed black hair was tied into a high ponytail. It was swirled because of its natural curls, as if it was carefully designed.

    Chu Yiqi held the pen hanging on her fingertips, maintaining a perfect balance. She followed the habit of a good student, lowered her head and actually read chemical organic synthesis seriously.

    The braids on both sides were fluffy and seemed random, but Chu Yiqi suddenly became alive, much freer and more agile than she was in high school.

    Chu Yiqi was drawing organic matter, and Xi Ai also turned around and half leaned on the back of the chair, swaying, and suddenly raised her eyes to carefully look at Chu Yiqi’s features.

    Chu Yiqi glanced at her.

    At that time, Chu Yiqi had no later thoughts about Xi Ai, and Xi Ai was also extremely dull, so neither of them realized that they were so close that they were almost nose-to-nose, and they could only see each other’s face with their whole eyes.

    “What’s wrong? Do you have any comments?”

    Xi Ai said: “Wow, this looks good. Are they two birds carrying a cloth bag together?”

    “…”

    Chu Yiqi was silent, and it took him a long time to say something: “Do you think it’s possible? Two bromines, this is a benzene ring. It doesn’t matter what you call it…”

    Mingming Chu expected to be very neat and eye-catching whether writing or writing chemistry books, but Xi Ai just likes to tease people casually every day.

    Forget it being funny, I still had to take the pen from Chu Yiqi’s hand and draw a small expression – a benzene ring shape, with a super large circle in the middle, and Xi Ai’s text: “Oh——”.

    “…………”

    Where are the childish ghosts?

    Xi Ai is at the judges’ table and can shout out her name.

    Chu Yiqi grabbed the pen back, tilted his head and drew an emoticon at an angle that both of them could easily identify. It was a Kekulé-style benzene ring, like a stick figure with lips pursed in a straight line, and he added the text: “I really have nothing to say.”

    And replace “hua” and “shuo” with “fa” and “so” of the staff.

    Two childish ghosts should just hang out together.

    Music students are the same, with eight hundred memes in one sentence, and encrypted communication without any barriers.

    Xi Ai drew the benzene ring again, this time bending the lower line a little: “Hehe”.

    Chu Yiqi continued to draw: “No hee hee”.

    The author has something to say:

    “Things have passed”, so can you lightly mention the rumors and the period of hiding, and mention the two years of separation?

    Is it okay to write about this sweet little couple in the next chapter?

    ——Okay.
