under the tower

He asked, "Why are you here?"

Ji Xi spread her hands: "As you can see, it's laundry."

Yan Yi let out an "oh", carried the clothes by himself, and found a washing machine in the corner.

Ji Xi lowered her head, pretending to be playing with her washing machine, but her eyes kept looking at Yan Yi.

I saw Yan put the clothes in, poured out half a bottle of laundry detergent, and pressed several buttons in succession, and the machine started to run.

Ji Xi: "..."

What did he press just now? ?

Ji Xi's fingers froze while fiddling with the washing machine. For some unknown reason, he threw all the clothes into the drum, and then casually pressed a button on the large operation panel, pretending to wash clothes too. At this moment, he really didn't want Yan Yi to find out that he actually didn't know how to use this thing.

He remembered that he used to yell in front of Yan Yi no matter what happened, and it was the same in Shen's house at that time, he might not be afraid of the dark, but he pretended to be trembling in Yan Yi's arms.

During the time with Yanyi, he almost inspired all the potential of his acting personality.

It seems to be just a biological instinct.

Relying on showing weakness, doing everything possible, constantly trying to make him feel bad, and wanting him to put all his attention on himself.

Every time in the past, Ji Xi pretended to Yan Yi, he succeeded, but this time, the halo of the goddess of luck did not fall on him again as before.

The button Ji Xi just pressed didn't respond, the washing machine didn't roll up as he wished, but stopped there quietly as if dead.

Ji Xi: "..."

Just when Ji Xi froze for a moment, and was about to press a button to try his luck, Yan Yi beside him couldn't stand it any longer, and reminded him in a cold voice: "...Your power is not turned on."

Ji Xi's face turned blue and white, and his expression was quite exciting.

Yan Yi pressed his temples and asked: "...What do you want to wash?"

Ji Xi blinked: "Suits, shirts..."

Yan Yi was silent, then turned around and left, slamming the door of the laundry room.

Ji Xi froze in place, thinking what's wrong?Isn't he just doing laundry, how can he be so angry that he turns around and leaves without saying a word?

A few seconds later, Yan Yi came back again, with a stack of colored paper in his hand.

He threw a few pieces of paper in front of Ji Xi, and said in a very speechless manner: "There is an instruction posted at the door, why can't you take a look?"

"..." Ji Xi explained with little confidence, "It was too dark outside, so I didn't look at it..."

Yan Yi: "There is a switch on the wall, don't you know how to turn on the light?"

"..." Ji Xi was really ashamed to be thrown into outer space, he said weakly, "I thought it was an induction..."

Yan Yi had nothing to say.

"Master." Yan Yi mocked in a tone that he didn't know how to describe, "...you are really good."

Ji Xi was being taught a lesson with a blushing face, twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers.

Yan Yi took a deep breath: "Where are your clothes?"

Ji Xi said softly: "In the drum."

"take it out."

"Oh." Ji Xi opened the door of the washing machine, took out a large pile of clothes, and a strong smell of smoke came over his face.

Yan Yi's face darkened immediately, and he frowned and said coldly: "Your suit can't be washed in the washing machine, so call someone to collect it. The other clothes are separated into dark and light colors, and then put in, and the underwear is taken back and washed by yourself. .”

"Okay." Ji Xi nodded obediently, took out the smelly suit and threw it into a paper bag with a look of disgust, and put clothes of different colors into two washing machines according to Yan Yi's instructions.

"and then?"

"Press the switch, the orange one." Yan Yi put on an expressionless face, "Click OK on the payment page, swipe the smart assistant, press soft A after it shows that the deduction is successful, and choose the default time."

Ji Xi operated step by step according to what he said. After pressing the button, the washing machine automatically filled with water and rolled up. The remaining time popped up on the electronic screen, and it was 40 minutes before the washing was finished.

Ji Xi raised her eyes and asked suspiciously: "Why Qingrou A? What's the difference between A, B, and C?"

Yan Yi almost threw those papers at Ji Xi's face: "Read the explanation yourself." He said, "That's it, I'm leaving."

Ji Xi blurted out: "Wait!"

Yan paused, and asked in a cold voice with an extremely impatient expression, "What else do you need?"

Ji Xi stood there helplessly, at that moment, a certain thought flashed through his mind, and he said it without thinking: "I did discuss a cooperation with the Lu family, but it's definitely not what you think... ..."

Yanyi turned his back to him, leaving Ji Xi with a firm and resolute back, and he said in a sarcastic tone: "Mr. Lu, is it fun to play around with me?"

Ji Xi was dying of anxiety, and explained with a red face: "Yan Yi! Listen to me first, this matter is a long story, in short, someone in the Lu family has some plans of his own and needs me to join the army to do something. I'm also here to find someone, to find Wu Qianshu, I told you a long time ago. My only purpose is to find someone, and then he helped arrange me in... We really, really just take what we need, Not to mention any dirty deals... I was dragged to a meeting by Huang Huaiyuan tonight, I had to drink some wine, that guy smoked, so my clothes got smelly, I didn't do anything else, I just dealt with it He...every word I told you is true, he has never lied to you or played tricks on you, you believe me!"

Yan Yi was silent for a long time, without turning around, he just asked, "Are you called Ji Xi or Lu Xi?"

Ji Xi's eyes widened, he seemed to vaguely understand what Yan Yi had misunderstood.

He said resolutely: "My real name is Ji Xi, and Lu Xi is the false identity he used to put me in the army. My surname has always been Ji!"

Seeing that Yan Yi still didn't respond, Ji Xi almost knelt down and begged him: "I've been with you for so long, do you think I've been faking it all these days and the days we spent together? I lied to you What's the benefit? I'm really from Shanghai..."

"...OK." Yan Yi said slowly, he seemed to have considered for a long time before finally making some difficult decision, "I can trust you once."

He turned around, his face was still very gloomy, he looked at Ji Xi condescendingly, his eyes seemed to be looking at a stranger he no longer knew, "But you still took refuge in the Lu family, didn't you?"

Ji Xi clenched his hands into fists unconsciously: "...um." He hurriedly explained, "...but it's only temporary, I don't intend to join any side..."

Yan Yi interrupted him directly with blunt words, his dark pupils were like cold glaciers at the moment: "What do you think I am? Huh? The back road? Or a spare tire?"

Ji Xi's face turned pale all of a sudden: "...I didn't mean that."

"That's not what it means? What does that mean?" Yan Yi asked sharply, "I'm sorry, I can only understand this from your behavior. You said you wanted to find someone, yes, I also promised to help you pay attention. You Now I ran into the army without saying a word, and made a bunch of deals with the Lu family that I didn't even bother to understand. I said I would help you, but you just don't believe it, don't you? You still think that the Lu family is a big tree More reliable?"

Ji Xi retorted in a low voice: "Then I didn't know you had come in...you didn't tell me..."

"You shouldn't have any curiosity to contact the army." Yan Yi frowned, and said in a warning tone, "This place is not as messy as you think, it's not so easy to get out after entering."

Ji Xi was slightly taken aback, countless thoughts in his heart were churning, he seemed to have caught Yan Yi's meaning, could it be that he felt...there was some kind of unpredictable danger in the army, so if he told himself in advance, he might stop him ...Or simply insist on asking to be with him?

With Ji Xi's personality, this is indeed something he would do. It is absolutely impossible for him to allow Yan to come to the army alone, and stay in a relatively safe home.

Because he knew in advance that Ji Xi would definitely pester him endlessly because of this matter, Yan Yi simply didn't tell him at all.

But what happened to Yanyi?Why does he hate the military so much?Since it's so annoying and you know it's dangerous, why do you still have to enlist in the army without hesitation?To help him find out Wu Qianshu's whereabouts?

Ji Xi's heart was pounding: "Why do you say that? You don't want me to stay longer because you think the army is not good?"

"Yes." Yan Yi replied without hesitation, "You go home immediately, I can not pursue this matter anymore, I will help you find the person you are looking for."

Ji Xi: "But I have promised to the people from the Lu family..."

Having said that, let's go back to the original question.

"I'll run away if I don't finish what I promised them, and they will definitely trouble me." Ji Xi said, "I know that the army is not easy to provoke, but the Lu family is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I always have to wait until... ..."

"Then we don't have anything to talk about." Yan Yi interrupted him, completely sinking his face, and said in an unusually cold tone, "Since Chief Lu is so capable, let's figure out a way for ourselves. Our relationship ends here. "

"Why are you so assertive?" Ji Xi looked at him unreasonably, and the sentence "End of it" had completely irritated him to the point of losing his mind. The blood in Ji Xi's body was surging, and there seemed to be a lump on his chest. The boulder was falling fast, and he yelled like a madman in a complete gaffe, "You let me go, and I tell you clearly that I can't go! And why should I go? We are all looking for someone, and I keep it." What's the difference between keeping it with you? You asked me to get out, so why don't you get out yourself?"

Yan Yi stared at him with almost terrifying eyes, his fists were clenched and his joints were creaking: "I have other things to do, but I can keep the promise I promised you before, anything else, anything that comes to you Trouble, I'll settle it, so you don't have to worry about it." He paused every word, "...to ask you one last time, do you want to go?"

"Then can you stop treating me as an object of protection all the time? Or do you have to think that I'm holding you back by staying here?" Ji Xi couldn't understand it, because he was so emotional that he couldn't bear it all over his body. Shaking in control, "I said I won't leave! I just want to do something by myself now, and I don't need you to wipe my ass, no, okay?"

"Then I really have nothing to say, can I still tie you up and stop you?" Yan Yi said in a helpless tone, "You can make trouble on your own, I really can't control you anymore, goodbye .”

After saying this, he walked away.

"Yan Yi!" Ji Xi yelled behind him, "Stop, don't you dare—"

With a "bang", the door of the laundry room was slammed shut, and Yan Yi slammed the door and left without hesitation.

Ji Xi stood where he was, his eyes were red, and his whole body was shaking violently.

mad, mad, mad...
