While Grandpa Qi was sighing, Mr. Qi also sighed softly: "It's only been a few years since we separated, and Toffee doesn't recognize me anymore."

After taking care of it with his own hands for so long, it was so easy to be bought by a few dried fish. Toffee really didn't give him face.

"...Actually, I still recognize it." Jiang Qiu comforted him.

Judging from the big cat's eyes in the camera, Toffee should still recognize Qi Xiuze's voice, but it probably didn't bother to pay attention to it, and because it was hungry and impatient, it didn't respond to him.

Jiang Qiu patted the back of Mr. Qi's hand who was sulking: "It's okay, even if it ignores you, you still have me."

In the past, Qi Xiuze had said this to him, and today it was his turn to steal the other party's lines and perform well in front of him. Jiang Qiu was very satisfied with this.

At this time, there is still some time before going to sleep, Qi Xiuze originally wanted to take Jiang Qiu for a stroll around the house, but Xiao Qiu was very interested in the room where he slept when he was a child, so Mr. Qi had no choice but to take him to the room decorated in a fairy tale style Room.

"This room is quite nice." As soon as Jiang Qiu opened the door, he saw all kinds of childlike decorations, including zebra posters and curtains, as well as children's hand-painted desk lamps, alarm clocks, pen holders, etc., on the tables and chairs. There are also stickers, and they all seem to be quite new, and they are very well preserved.

The bed is quite big, 1.5 meters wide, let alone a child, it's not even narrow for an adult, but it's a bit smaller than the bed Qi Xiuze had in the bedroom of the apartment .

The bed sheets and quilt covers are all cartoon patterns, and the little zebra is grinning at them with its teeth bared.

Jiang Qiu felt that this wasn't like a bedroom, but more like a themed exhibition hall. Qi Xiuze probably didn't touch these furnishings very much, so despite the past so many years, the things were still so new and there were not many traces of use.

"Does the housekeeper arrange this room like this every time you come back?" Jiang Qiu looked at Qi Xiuze, "It doesn't look like a room for people to live in, so where are we going to sleep tonight?"

"After junior high school, I moved to a larger room on the west side, where the bookcases are bigger." Qi Xiuze pointed in the direction, which happened to be at the other end of the corridor.

The Qi family's house is so big and there are so many rooms that the grandpa and grandson couldn't live in it, so some rooms have been kept as they were, and they don't bother to redecorate.

Jiang Qiu looked around the room, then turned to ask him, "I want to sleep here, is that okay?"

"Of course." Qi Xiuze has always been obedient to his daughter-in-law, where to sleep is just a matter of words, this room is full of pillows and quilts.It's just that there was some confusion on his face, "But can you tell me why?"

"This is the room you lived in when you were a child, and I really want to experience it." Jiang Qiu smiled at him and said.

Qi Xiuze knew his affairs very well since he was a child, and always watched him silently behind his back.When the two of them came to this day, Jiang Qiu suddenly discovered that he didn't know much about Qi Xiuze's past, except that he would meet with him when he took the pain for the protagonist, and had a brief contact with him. Those impressions are all learned from novels.

And that novel was written by the original owner based on various materials and his own imagination, so it was too numerous to count.

"If you want to know, just ask me. There's no need to experience it yourself." Qi Xiuze hugged him from behind, put his face against Jiang Qiu's and said, "But I haven't been back for a long time, so I feel nostalgic once in a while." There's nothing wrong with that."

Jiang Qiu turned his head slightly, looking at the head on his shoulder: "Do you have any treasure chests in your room, like the kind that children would hide in the room?"

Mr. Qi blinked: "When I was young, I was different from ordinary children..."

Jiang Qiu thought he was trying to cover up, so before he finished speaking, he gently pushed him and searched the room by himself.

As if exploring a secret base, Jiang Qiu had a rare interest in digging out more about Qi Xiuze's past.

Mr. Qi is different from the original owner. The original owner likes to hide things on the ground, while Qi Xiuze likes to hide them on the top. Jiang Qiu searched under the bed and found nothing with a lock. Instead, he glanced up inadvertently. Found a little space above the closet.

He moved a chair, stepped on it, leaned on the wardrobe and looked up, and as expected, he saw a combination box.

The password is alphabetic. Jiang Qiu tried the pinyin of 'Xiaoqiu', and it opened smoothly.

When he opened it, Jiang Qiu's first reaction was a little confused.

There are many messy and irrelevant things inside, including bandages, ointments, milk cartons after drinking, and even a school uniform jacket... There are several other odds and ends. Jiang Qiu didn't realize it at first, but later Only then did he realize something, and he looked back at Qi Xiuze.

Mr. Qi took the initiative to explain: "I told you before that when I was a child, I didn't like living in this kind of place in the deep mountains and old forests. The house is empty and there are no special memories. Only this room has things related to you. , here are my fondest memories.”

He picked up the roll of bandage: "...This is the leftover bandage you used when you bandaged me back then, and I secretly hid it in my pocket later. I wanted to keep the bandage used to wrap the wound, but unfortunately it has been taken away by the housekeeper. Dispose of it as garbage."

"It was handled well." Jiang Qiu patted his head, "After all, it is a dirty bandage, a disposable item, and even if it is washed, it cannot be reused. You were young and didn't understand this. If the wound is caused by What can I do if the dirty bandage is infected?"

Qi Xiuze smiled and kissed him, but didn't say a word - as long as it's something you've touched, I'm not willing to take it out again.

The box was basically filled with things that Jiang Qiu had used. Fortunately, except for the bandages, there was nothing particularly strange about it.As he got older, Qi Xiuze moved to live near Jiang Qiu's house, so he didn't add anything to the box.

Jiang Qiu shook his head and laughed: "You all have a box related to me."

But at the same time, I also feel very heartwarming. In this world, there are still people who know that this Jiang Qiu is not that "Jiang Qiu", know that he is a complete and independent personality, respect him, care about him, and protect him.

Even... like him.

It is not easy to meet someone who likes him so much in this life, and he also likes him so much.

The two chatted and chatted to the bed, but in this childlike room, they didn't do anything, they just chatted under the quilt and opened their hearts to each other.

Speaking of Jiang Qiu's doubts about his origin, Qi Xiuze quietly held his hand under the quilt, and said in a low voice: "What you believe is the truth, don't be shaken by it. I don't care about your origin, no matter what it is Experiences make you, and to me, you are the real person I love."

"Well, I think so too." Jiang Qiu said softly.

He didn't find any information about personality creation in the original owner's diary, and the memory about how he traveled was reshaped by himself, and he couldn't recall anything even if he forced himself to recall it. It's better to put this issue aside and live. Just be in the moment.

As long as there is this person by your side, it doesn't matter whether he is a dream or reality, man-made or time-traveled?

That night, the two of them chatted until they fell asleep. When they woke up the next day, Jiang Qiu found that their hands were still tightly intertwined.

He thought to himself that it would be nice to take a vacation like this once in a while.

Jiang Qiu and Qi Xiuze lived in the old house for three days.

During the day, Jiang Qiu would walk around the mountains, or follow Xitang and other local cats, and "inspect the territory" with them, exploring the traces of Mr. Qi's childhood life.

Qi Xiuze spent part of his time in his room dealing with work. Sometimes the work was done quickly, and he would go out for a walk with Jiang Qiu during the day, or go fishing with him in the pond to pass the time.

Usually at this time, Xitang's family of six cats would squat next to the two of them, waiting for them to fish and feed them. These cats did not dislike the smell of live fish, and even had fishbone on their mouths.

Most of the fish in winter are plump, because Toffee also lived here for a while before, and the fish in the fish pond are not ornamental fish, but fish with more flesh and less thorns that can be used for cooking.In just a few days, Jiang Qiu felt that the litter of cats had been fattened up by them.

Tired from shopping during the day, Mr. Qi is also very considerate at night, and he is not willing to torment Jiang Qiu. The two just chatted so tenderly, ending a comfortable and leisurely day.

Jiang Qiu felt that it would be nice not to do anything like this, but to quietly hug each other and reminisce about the past, counting the days with little secrets that only they knew.

The two lived so purely in the house that a few days later, Jiang Qiu overheard the old housekeeper sigh softly: "Don't you need to change the sheets today..."

Jiang Qiu: "..."

"I heard from the aunt over there that the two young masters change the sheets almost once a day in the apartment, sometimes twice a day." The old housekeeper was worried, "Is it because you are not used to living in the old house and can't let go of it?" ah?"

Damn, why did Auntie even report this kind of thing to the old housekeeper!

Jiang Qiu still had a cute and intellectual appearance in front of the old housekeeper, but found that he had lost his image in front of the housekeeper.

He felt that he could hardly look directly at the old butler's face.

Jiang Qiu used to be the one who didn't change his face before Mount Tai collapsed, only this time his face turned red with embarrassment.On the other hand, Mr. Qi, even after hearing what the old housekeeper said, he still had no special expression on his face, and then he used an excuse of "I'll answer the phone" and left!

The old butler said to the servant: "Why don't you make some oysters to eat at night, the young master and Mr. Jiang are not allergic to seafood, and beef and mutton are also suitable for eating in winter, so give them more."

The servant picked up a small notebook and wrote it down: "Okay."

"..." Jiang Qiu didn't dare to listen anymore, imitating Mr. Qi, he found a reason and fled.

The author has something to say: Jiang Qiu: I can’t even imagine what kind of image I was in the eyes of the old housekeeper...

Mr. Qi: The newlyweds are sweet, and the honey is mixed with oil. It is hard to part.
