Twisted melon bursts sweet [e-sports]

Xi Nian arrived at the hut by the river in the dark, except that he almost tripped over a tree stump on the way...it went well.

When he came last time, because Jin Chao was afraid that the musty smell of the hut that hadn't been in for a long time would be too strong for Xi Nian, he just gave him a brief introduction and didn't really take him in.

... This time, I can see Jin Chao's "safe haven" when he was a child, and Xi Nian laughed at himself in his heart.

Reaching out for the small bamboo door, the hut opened with a "squeak".

Probably because the whole hut is made of bamboo, and the place is close to the water and ventilated. Walking into the house, except for some faint bamboo fragrance, there is no peculiar smell at all.

With the faint moonlight coming in from the door, Xi Nian saw a small waist-high table on the left - if I remember correctly, there should be candles and matches on it, right?

Xi Nian walked to the table, and sure enough, he found a candle-like stick and a small wooden box on it.

He took out a match from inside and rubbed it lightly on the sandpaper beside the wooden box, a small warm yellow flame appeared in front of Xi Nian's eyes, and he carefully lit the candle with this cluster of faint flames.

By candlelight, Xi Nian finally saw the whole picture of the hut clearly——

The hut is about ten square meters, and there is a small bamboo bed in the corner with a bamboo pillow on it.Apart from the bed, the only furniture left in the room was the table next to Xi Nian and a small bamboo stool stuffed under the table...

... Is this really the safe haven that Jin Chao himself chose instead of a little black room where his parents forced him to reflect on his past after making a mistake?

Xi Nian thought about it seriously, and felt that the possibility of the latter was simply infinite, and the scene of the little Jin Qingqi staying in this room, cursing and grimacing while writing his self-criticism could not help but appear in his mind...

"Pfft."

The laughter was actually very slight, but it was very obvious in the quiet hut, which surprised Xi Nian himself. He touched the corner of his lips, feeling a little surprised:

When something like that happened today, can I still laugh?

But soon Xi Nian discovered something even more "scary"——

Not only was he laughing, but he also felt a little hungry.

Xi Nian: "..."

However, since he had lunch at the base around one o'clock in the afternoon, he hasn't eaten anything... It's normal to be hungry.

Sitting on the bamboo bed, Xi Nian simply pulled his legs up, pressed his knees against his stomach that was still screaming, and curled up into a ball.

If only Jin Chao had put a fishing rod here before, then he could go fishing by the river, and then use the dry bamboo and bamboo leaves nearby to grill the fish...

"Grumpy"

Xi Nian: "..."

hungrier.

"Ahh-!"

Sitting in the driver's seat, Mo Qi opened the car window by a third calmly.

Warm air still carrying the heat of summer rushed in from the opening, making Jin Chao, who was already on fire in the passenger seat, even hotter. He said angrily: "Coach, the air-conditioning in the car is not enough. You still have to wait for the air-conditioning in the car?" What are you opening the window for?"

Mo Qi said succinctly: "ventilate, so as not to catch a cold."

"...I don't have a cold."

It happened that there was a red light at the intersection ahead, and the speed of the galloping vehicle slowly slowed down, and finally stopped at the last centimeter of the waiting line.

Mo Qi didn't even look at him, and his tone was very calm: "You sneezed five times in three minutes without a cold?"

Jin Chao: "..."

Seeing that he was speechless, Mo Qi didn't bother to entangle him with this stupid-sounding question, so he changed his tone: "Are you sure Xi Nian is at your house?"

This question was like pouring ice water directly on Jin Chao's heart, which immediately made him lose his temper. After holding it in for a long time, he could only say: "...not sure."

As if worried that the coach would immediately turn around and head back home, Jin Chao hastily added: "Anyway, anyway, there are no clues now, should a dead horse be a living horse doctor..."

Mo Qi didn't refute him, but just smiled lightly.

Jin Chao was dissatisfied: "What are you laughing at?"

The red light in front had already shown a countdown, Mo Qi closed the car window, stepped on the accelerator at the last second of the countdown, and the suv with superior performance instantly returned to the speed before the red light, he looked at it from the rearview mirror He glanced at someone whose mouth was about to burst into flames: "I just think that if Xi Nian is really at your house, and you are in such a hurry to get back... your parents should be able to guess something."

Your parents should be able to guess something.

The coach's words were like lightning strikes to Jin Chao's ears.

What would they guess?

Even if Jin Chao doesn't have a brain, no matter how big his nerves are, he can still imagine...

If his parents really found out about him and Xi Nian, how would they react?

……

Jin Chao was timid for a moment, but soon became firm——

If he wants to go on with Xi Nian, his parents will have to pass this test sooner or later. The current situation is nothing more than bringing this test forward, so what is there to be afraid of?

He will not be afraid.

He can't be afraid either!

... Otherwise, according to Xi Nian's character of "if you take one step back, I will dare to take a hundred steps back", I am afraid that his parents will not need to "beat the mandarin ducks with sticks", so Xi Nian will first rub him secretly with a stick and knock him down, and then he will be happy returned him to his parents...

After thinking about this matter, Jin Chao found that not only was he not afraid anymore, but even his fists were vaguely hardened——

He would never give Xi Nian the chance to beat him up!

……

So Mo Qi, who was sitting next to him, found miraculously that after he raised this soul question, not only did this guy not feel guilty or guilty, but he seemed even more angry...

Mo Qi: "???"

Is this tm a human brain circuit?

10:30 in the evening.

The car finally drove to the big iron gate.

Because Father Jin was notified in advance, the big iron gate opened slowly and automatically in front of them soon.

Mo Qi in the driver's seat raised his eyebrows slightly: "This is an ordinary iron door... Your father installed an automatic device on it?"

Jin Chao, who was very worried that Xi Nian was not at home and flustered more and more as he got closer to home, didn't notice anything wrong with Mo Qi's words at all. He just nodded and said hastily: "Well, my dad likes to do this."

Mo Qi sighed silently when he heard the words, what a pity.

……

When the car was driving towards Jin Chao's house, Jin Chao's house was not safe.

"...Then you let Niannian go to that little broken house by the river by himself?" The smile on Jin's mother's face was rarely suppressed, and she had an expression of "how could you do such an unreliable thing?" Looking at Jin's father standing in front of her as if nothing happened.

Father Jin was a little unhappy when he heard Mother Jin's evaluation of the hut, and muttered in a low voice to retort: ​​"What small shabby house? I made this with my own hands, and it completely conforms to architectural principles and aesthetic principles. The bamboo houses on stilts in the south are not This 'little broken house' must be strong and beautiful..."

"Is this the point?" Jin's mother was almost overwhelmed by his "capability" of not being able to grasp the point of his words for decades, but she has always been well-mannered, and she can't say swear words. A sharp look struck his face, "Don't say that your son always speaks the wrong words... Heh, in my opinion, he looks like his father."

First, his "craftsman-level" craftsmanship was attacked, and then Jin's father, who was attacked personally: "..."

Hehe, then I think the son's way of talking nonsense and being eccentric is quite like his mother's style!

Of course, Father Jin only dared to think about this sentence in his heart, saying that it was impossible to say it, after all... even sleeping in the living room in summer is quite bleak...

Mother Jin saw him lowering his eyebrows and lowering his hands, thinking that he realized his mistake, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her voice became gentle: "Leave this matter alone, I will go to see Niannian later, and advise He came to live at home, how can there be any guest who can't stay at home and live in a small shabby house by the river..."

"Little broken house" double kill!

Jin's father was powerless to argue, and wiped his face sadly in his heart: "You'd better not go, that child specifically asked me not to tell you and Jin Chao about his coming, you can just see it through surveillance, I have to go over and see if he is hitting me in the face..."

Jin's father was still chattering on the sidelines, but Jin's mother had already keenly noticed something was wrong——

Xi came to the house quietly before the foot, and Jin Chao sent a message saying that he was going home today, but according to Jin's father, Xi Nian never told Jin Chao about his visit... How did he know?Is it just a coincidence?

No, it can't be a coincidence.

Since Jin Chao went to work professionally, it is common for him not to go home for a few months. He only came last month, so how could he come back this month?Today is not a holiday, he must... came back for Xi Nian.

After reaching this conclusion, Jin's mother felt more and more weird.

Her own son knew that although Jin Chao had many friends, Xi Nian was the only one who could bring him home after so many years, and Jin Chao even took him to the small broken house that even his parents would not let him in. room……

She just thought that the two of them had a good relationship before, and then related to today's matter... Isn't this relationship a little too good?

An almost absurd guess fell from the top of her head like a thunderbolt, which made her dizzy.

"... Rushi, what's wrong with you?!" Father Jin, who hadn't received a response after talking for a long time, looked up in displeasure, but saw his wife, who had always been calm, self-possessed and calm, pale and shaking. Shaking as if he was about to faint in the next second, he was so frightened that he rushed to her side in three steps at a time, and held her in his arms.

Jin's mother shook her head and forced a smile: "...it's okay, it's probably because I got some sun in the afternoon when I went to the vegetable garden, and I got a bit of heat stroke."

While helping her to sit on the chair in the living room, Jin's father complained in a low voice: "I told you earlier, let me make an automatic irrigation and fertilization device for your vegetable garden, but you didn't listen, you insisted on fucking it yourself Heart...sit right here, I'll go get the medicine box."

As soon as Father Jin turned around, he felt his cuffs being pulled——

Mother Jin's face was still pale, and there was panic in her eyes that he didn't understand: "Yuan Dao, if... I mean if..."

But before she could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.
