After work that day, Chi Xueyan drove home along the familiar route like before marriage.
Han Zhenzhen and Chi Zhongyuan were not surprised at all when they saw their son who ran home alone to eat and sleep on the third day after moving into the wedding room. Even Aunt Ling just asked him with concern about what the dishes made by He Qiao tasted like.
After all, Chi Xueyan is a person who can go directly to get a marriage certificate the next day after the blind date.
And He Qiao, who seemed to be much better than him, also cooperated with him throughout the whole process.
Therefore, as long as they don't suddenly get back a divorce certificate, the Chi family fully understands that everything about the two young people may seem strange.
But it is inevitable to be a little curious.
After a meal, Chi Xueyan answered countless questions about getting along with He Qiao, such as whether there was a quarrel, whether the taste of eating was close, and who did the housework.
Of course, he described it all in the best direction, describing He Qiao as a perfect lover.
There is no quarrel, the taste is the same, the housework is all done by He Qiao, and even the bath water will be put in advance for him.
Parents always hope that their children are the one to be taken care of, and Chi Xueyan also hopes that saying this can make them feel at ease.
Although the first two points are true, except for cooking, other housework is half at his request, let alone bath water.
Because they are actually just roommates and partners, living separately in the same room, which can be called another form of respect for each other.
Han Zhenzhen was very satisfied with his description: "I can't see it. I thought He Qiao couldn't do housework, but he was so capable."
She suddenly thought, "When I was cleaning the house one day, you asked me to go over and let me see how he did the housework."
Chi Xueyan:...
I accidentally forgot that a lie may be exposed.
We can only wrong He Qiao at that time.
After greeting his son's newlywed life, Han Zhenzhen came over mysteriously and asked him with a gossipy face, "Yanyan, tell me the truth, have you secretly fallen in love behind our back before?"
"Anyway, you are married now. I'm very satisfied with your object. You don't have to worry about me interfering with your love life."
She asked her son seriously and sent the information by the way: "I heard from Xiaoyue that it's the first time for He Qiao to fall in love."
Chi Xueyan said helplessly, "I'm also my first love."
My mother cast a suspicious look: "It's not like it. Although you play all day and night, it seems that you don't have time to talk about the object, but it just doesn't look like it."
"..." Chi Xueyan raised his hand and swore, "It's all Su Yu's fault. Really, I didn't lie to you."
Speaking of Su Yu, he remembered the news bombardment of the other party in the past two days, and simply took the initiative to ask her, "He fell in love again. He asked me to go fishing on Saturday. Mom, do you want to go?"
Hearing the words, Han Zhenzhen instantly gave up the exploration of his son's love history, turned around and left without hesitation: "Sleep, good night."
Chi Xueyan looked at her hurried back with a smile. When she withdrew her eyes, she couldn't help sighing in advance when she remembered the sea fishing activity agreed on Saturday.
Some people often think that he has rich experience in love, which is basically thanks to Su Yu.
Because he has heard at least a hundred love historys from Su Yu.
When he was in college, he was in the medical school, and Su Yu was in the law school. He couldn't get to the other. He didn't have many opportunities to get to know each other, but at most he had heard of each other.
Chi Xueyan, who has a new hobby in three days, heard that there is a strange man in the law school who often changes girlfriends. Every girl has a good impression of him after breaking up. There are always people who see Su Yu getting drunk and wiping her tears after the breakup.
But this deep affection did not delay him from quickly starting the next relationship.
At that time, Chi Xueyan thought this man was quite funny. Once he happened to meet the law school's love saint drinking wine to drown his sorrows, so he specially listened to him complain once. During this period, he listened very carefully, as if he was observing a rare human being.
Su Yu, who had annoyed his roommates to death, met such a patient audience for the first time. The pain of breaking up and the unspeakable emotion were mixed together, and it was even more sad. He talked for three hours.
The next time he broke up, he went to this enthusiastic classmate of the medical school with a beer bottle.
Then the two became friends and hurt each other until today.
In a sense, he and Su Yu are quite similar, so they can become good friends for so long, but the two people are completely differently interested in things.
And the sexual orientation is also different. Su Yu is a straight man who only likes girls.
Speaking of which, He Qiao also claims to be a straight man.
... It seems that it is not the same.
Chi Xueyan suddenly remembered the kiss that attracted everyone's attention.
That was his first kiss.
Although no one may believe it when it is said.
In the eyes of others, he always seems to be more "bad".
Duan Ruo, who was seen during the day, was the opposite. He looked particularly simple.
Taking advantage of this quiet time of being alone, Chi Xueyan carefully sorted out her thoughts about the sudden appearance of the protagonist.
Just like what he said to He Qiao, at first, his feelings for Duan Ruo were a little complicated, and then soon dissipated because of the joke.
In any case, it has nothing to do with "love rivals".
In his opinion, memory and experience form a perspective, and the perspective determines the feeling of looking at people and things.
He has not experienced the plots in the novel. Even if he listens to He Qiao's story in great detail, it is not a memory that he has really experienced. It is difficult to have a real feeling, and it can only be heard as a distant story.
For example, at this moment, he neither loves nor hates Lu Siyi, who has misunderstood "his" good intentions, and will not be hostile to the so-called rival Duan.
Chi Xueyan's biggest feeling for Lu Siyi at present is that she is curious whether the graduate student, who is addicted to experiments, has browsed his Moments or not, and whether he has seen the wedding motion posted by the bar owner.
He once thought about asking Wang Shaojing if Lu Siyi liked it.
But for the time being, I haven't thought about how to ask, which seems more reasonable.
You can't push any outrageous demands on the fortune triter.
As for Duan Ruo, when Chi Xueyan thought of him, he would also think of the paragraph that Mr. Huang shouted slowly.
And that really beautiful song.
One is an extremely stubborn, but cold student who will show basic politeness and concern to strangers who have helped him, and the other is a dejected singer who is full of enthusiasm for music and will look at him with an almost envious look.
In a word, in the face of the current appearance of the two protagonists, the villain's mood is not serious at all.
What's more, he is not the "Chi Xueyan" who has done all the bad things in the book.
Therefore, after thinking deeply, Chi Xueyan prefers to regard the novel story in Heqiaokou as a possibility of the world.
At least, at this fork in the crossroads today, Duan Ruo went to the end.
Although He Qiao had not mentioned Duan Ruo to him before, he didn't think there was this plot in the story.
He Qiao's tone was hesitant when he called. Obviously, he didn't expect to meet Duan Ruo today.
In the recording studio, when he heard Duan Ruo's proposal to sign, a trace of surprise also flashed in his eyes.
Therefore, in the book, Duan Ruo should always be Duan Ruo, and there has never been a paragraph.
Thinking of this, Chi Xueyan suddenly laughed.
He seems to be subconsciously collecting the clues that appeared on He Qiao.
Like an explorer walking in a puzzle, with a new and happy mood.
This one thousand and one nights that suddenly appeared in his life was much more interesting than the Rubik's Cube that rotated in his hand on weekends and the detective novel that was spun over by him to the end.
The heartbeat when jumping down the bungee, the scary scenes that may appear at any time in horror movies, or crying or obedient children, each bad tooth in different condition... These are the unknowns that Chi Xueyan likes.
He has been obsessed with the uncertainty brought by the unknown since he was a child.
And the appearance of He Qiao brought him a more mysterious unknown.
The unknown and adventure are unique in this world.
Chi Xueyan can't imagine any alternative that can be compared with it.
Therefore, in this agreement marriage, which can already enter the stage of appearance and separation, if there is one thing that will make him feel an instinctive attraction that he cannot refuse, it is the many unfinished stories brought by He Qiao.
... He really seems to be like the king who loves to listen to stories in One Thousand and One Nights.
I don't know when the next story will appear.
It seems that there is no chance.
He Qiao should now stay alone in the new house and enjoy the freedom he finally has.
Thinking like this, Chi Xueyan went to the room where she had lived for many years, ready to wash and go to bed to welcome the new day.
From Tuesday to Thursday, he returned to the wedding room and continued to respect He Qiao as guests, and went to work separately during the day.
He returned to his home on Friday and listened to the bitterness of lawyer Su's love on Saturday.
At first, this activity was held in a stall or a bar. Later, Chi Xueyan was really tired of it, so he changed his tricks from time to time, playing ball, visiting haunted houses, sea fishing... Try to let both of them get a little fun from this frequently held activity.
A small yacht floats on the sea with slight wind and waves.
The captain stared at the direction. Chi Xueyan behind him waited for the fish to come up, while listening to Su Yu's long sigh next to him, and there was wine on the table next to him.
Lawyer Su was serious: "I thought I would go to the end with her."
Chi Xueyan calmly poked through: "That's what you said last time."
"No, even you are married, Lao Chi. Do you know how shocking this shocked me? And I'm still the best man. After a day, I want to get married..."
Since the wedding, Su Yu began to call him Lao Chi, which is said to reflect a new identity.
Chi Xueyan doesn't care about people who have lost their love.
In the noise brought by the sea breeze, the sound of conversation could not scare the fish at all. Su Yu even asked the captain to play music that suited his mood.
Anyway, they didn't mean the fish.
But the fish took the initiative to bite the fish one after another.
As soon as Chi Xueyan put away a shot, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
The caller is He Qiao, who hasn't seen him for two days.
He picked it up unexpectedly.
Next to it, Su Yu's long talk was constantly interrupted by the shaking fishing rod.
"Why are you here again? It's so annoying, damn it! My wine is going to spill! Lao Chi, help me hold some--"
The moment the phone was connected, He Qiao recognized Su Yu's voice and heard the vague environmental noise.
At the same time, there was a glure sound of music.
And, wine.
What is "coming again"?
Chi Xueyan, who was stopped by him, said in a little a little helplessness: "I told you not to use the glass, you have to use it..."
He helped Su Yu hold the wine glass, put his attention back on the phone, and casually explained to He Qiao, "I'm fishing."
He Qiao was silent for a moment and repeated reflexively, "Fishing?"
The clues conveyed in this phone call make the sentence "fishing" sound less like its original meaning.
"Right." Chi Xueyan's tone was very calm, "What's the matter with me?"
He Qiao gathered his thoughts and said clearly, "The office building opposite the clinic can be occupied. We will officially work there at the beginning of next week, and there will be a simple housewarming ceremony on Sunday."
The place where Chi Xueyan works is right next door, and he should have informed him.
In case the other party wants to attend the housewarming ceremony.
Then, He Qiao heard a lazy response: "It's quite fast, congratulations."
Chi Xueyan was really not interested in this and directly ignored the latent invitation behind this sentence.
But his voice sounded very leisurely, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to do anything else.
So He Qiao changed the topic without saying a voice: "Do you still remember Xiao Huang?"
"Remember." Chi Xueyan joked, "Mr. Huang."
"Colleagues in the company also call him that, and few people call him by his full name."
The next second, Chi Xueyan's voice became clearer: "Why?"
"Because his name is Huang Wan, he is fast and slow. I heard that because his parents are both quick-tempered children, he hopes that his son's personality will be more stable." He Qiao muttered, "As a result, he was too steady, and even his speech became slow."
"Once someone calls him by his full name, his reaction will become slower, like a robot with insufficient power, as if cursed by his name."
When he said that, Chi Xueyan couldn't help laughing and asked softly, "Really?"
"I haven't seen it with my own eyes. I guess it's true." He Qiao said, "My colleague in the music department asked him to be a department representative to speak at the ceremony, so Secretary Li told me about it."
In his gentle narration, the laughter on the other end of the phone is like a feather, floating lightly in the radio waves and signals.
"You just said... the housewarming ceremony is on Sunday?"
"Well, my family should come in the afternoon." He Qiao politely asked for his advice, "Do you want to attend?"
This time, Chi Xueyan agreed very simply: "Okay, see you tomorrow."
Invisible feathers suddenly passed by my ears.
So he also responded gently, "See you tomorrow."

One of the secrets of fishing for a wife: hang a small yellow on the fish.
