Strange Story of Strange House

Chapter 66 chapter066

On the third anniversary of their acquaintance, Lin Chi and Lou Qi, who had entered the old couple mode ahead of time, did not arrange any special activities. After checking Yun Bao's homework and letting him go downstairs to have fun, Lin Chi returned to the bedroom and lay down on the floor. Qi Huai adjusted a comfortable posture, chatting with people one after another.

While talking, the topic turned to the past unconsciously, talking about the things that happened before.Lin Chi's old background was almost turned over by Lou Qi, and it turned out that there was no Lou Qi who didn't know about those bad things.But Lin Chi never heard Lou Qi mention his past.

Lin Chi, who has a bad past, is quite good at putting himself in the shoes of others. He couldn't help but wonder if Lou Qi also had an unspeakable past, so he didn't intend to ask, but tonight the wind is clear and the moon is bright, the atmosphere is really good, and the topic is just right. Taking advantage of the opportunity, I asked this question that I have been curious about for a long time.

"What happened in the past?" Lou Qi couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words.

"Hmm! Can you tell me? You never told me..." Lin Chi leaned on Lou Qi's lap and looked at him eagerly.

"Of course." Lou Qi touched the little head in his arms. Lin Chi's hair is very soft and feels very good to the touch. The feeling of the fine and soft hair sliding over the palm of his hand makes Lou Qi's heart soften, " Why are you suddenly interested in those things?"

"Isn't that curious? You see we've been together for so long, and you've wiped out all my old stories. Don't partners need to understand each other?" Lin Chi said while looking up at Lou Qi's reaction, seeing There was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had been touched, so he was relieved, "In the future, if people ask about your past, if I don't know anything, I would be so embarrassed."

"Okay," Lou Qi said with a smile, "What do you want to know?"

Lin Chi's eyes lit up instantly, and the eyeballs rolled around, revealing three points of cunning and seven points of agility: "Let me think about it...how about telling me about your family? You never told me about them , what kind of people are they?"

"They..." Lou Qi half leaned against the bed, showing a nostalgic expression, "I am the only child in my family. When I was young, my parents were busy with work, so I lived with my grandfather with two cousins ​​who were similar in age. Therefore, the brothers are very close, and the elders are also very kind..."

"Let's talk!" Lin Chi turned over and sat up suddenly, "I've been with you for so long, and I haven't seen your parents. Is it bad?"

Lou Qi was taken aback when he heard the words. He has been in contract with Lin Chi for more than three years, and he has never brought Lin Chi back to Lou's house... At that time, his grandfather gave him orders, saying that he was destined to have no wife and no wife. Son, lonely old life.To meet Lin Chi, it was already Di Deng's kindness to him.

Besides, the group of elders in the family headed by grandpa must have seen this granddaughter-in-law with a weapon long ago, otherwise, how could they rush her to K city to guard a building where the ghost king is already in charge.

He had already recognized Lin Chi as his partner in this life, but it was also a fact that he had never brought Lin Chi back to Lou's house according to the common etiquette.Before Lin Chi didn't mention it, he also ignored this issue, but now that Lin Chi has brought it up, he naturally has to pay attention to it.

Lin Chi didn't know what was going on in Lou Qi's heart. He slowly lay back in Lou Qi's arms, wrinkled his delicate eyebrows, and looked troubled: "Do you think they will like me?"

"I will like you, I like you so much, how could they not like you." Lou Qi smiled and patted Lin Chi who was grimacing in his arms, comforting him, "You are right, I haven't taken you with me for so long I've been back, it really shouldn't be. How about it, don't you have a small holiday on October [-]? When the time comes, I'll take you back to meet my parents. "

"Ah!" Lin Chi suddenly panicked, using both hands to prop himself up from Lou Qi's arms, "Why, why is it so sudden!"

"Suddenly?" Lou Qi raised his hand to straighten his crumpled shirt, with a very calm tone.

"It's late September now! I'm not prepared at all! How can I meet my parents!" Lin Chi's eyes widened, and his nose turned red when he rubbed against Lou Qi's arms just now, looking like a little rabbit.

Lou Qi chuckled: "What else do you need to prepare? It's enough to bring yourself."

Lin Chi was obviously not comforted, with an aggrieved expression on his face: "You don't understand how I feel when I see my father-in-law and mother-in-law!"

When Lou Qi heard this, he patted his upturned buttocks amusedly: "Father-in-law?"

Lin Chi's body froze immediately, and his buttocks, which had just undergone strenuous activities last night, still felt a little uncomfortable. After being slapped meaningfully by Lou Qi, he immediately blushed, "...father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"Ugly daughters-in-law always want to meet their parents-in-law, so it's time to introduce you to each other." Lou Qi smiled slightly,

Lin Chi suddenly had a feeling of "lifting a rock and shooting himself in the foot, and hurting himself".

In this family of three consisting of Lin Chi, Lou Qi, and Yun Bao, Lou Qi is often more inclined to be the listener and the executor, letting Lin Chi decide some things, while he himself practices what he said to Lin Chi at the beginning. Late promise: As long as you decide, I will support you unconditionally.

But Lou Qi has never lost his decision-making power. In fact, as long as he makes a decision, it is a final decision.

Therefore, even though Lin Chi was a little apprehensive, the plan to meet his in-laws on Eleven was still finalized.

The "October" holiday is coming as scheduled.On the first day of the long vacation, the family of three packed their bags and set off.Considering the issue of travel comfort, the two chose to drive back. In order to save time, they decided to take the shady road, and they could reach Lou's house across several provinces in just over an hour.

Along the way, Lin Chi was on pins and needles. In order to take care of Yun Bao, he sat in the back seat with the child, counting on his fingers whether he had brought all the gifts for Lou Qi's family, and then began to worry about whether there was any problem with his clothes.Seeing Lin Chi fidgeting all the way, Yun Bao also became nervous.

Lou Qi looked at the back seat from the rearview mirror, one big and one small were so nervous that even their hands and feet were a little stiff, he couldn't help laughing: "What are you nervous about?"

"..." Upon hearing this, Lin Chi gave Lou Qi a sad look.Lou Qi was amused by his small eyes, and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, the new wife is afraid of seeing her in-laws, because she is afraid that the in-laws will be dissatisfied and they won't be able to get married. We already have Rainbow Dash, so what are you afraid of?"

"You don't understand..." Lin Chi pouted, disdainful of Lou Qi's thoughts, "What if your family doesn't like me?"

"It doesn't matter whether they like you or not, it's enough for me to like you, besides, they won't dislike you." If it wasn't for driving, Lou Qi really wanted to reach out and touch that drooping little head.

"Are you sure?" Lin Chi still didn't believe it. He lowered his head and continued to look at his outfit. Although the clothes were carefully selected, he still worried that there was something inappropriate, and his lover's family would be dissatisfied with him...

"You are the bride that Di Deng chose for me," Lou Qi said casually, wanting to appease Lin Chi's emotions as soon as possible, "The Lou family has served Di Deng for generations, and you are the one chosen by Di Deng for me. I couldn't be more satisfied with you."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Lin Chi not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became even more depressed.His head drooped to his chest, like a wounded and wronged animal.

Seeing this, Lou Qi realized that things were not as simple as he imagined. He slowly pulled over the car, shifted from the driver's seat to the back seat, and used a simple hypnotic technique to put Rainbow Dash down, and then held Lin Chi clenched his hand into a fist and asked softly, "What's the matter? Are you really nervous? Why don't we go, okay?"

"I...are you staying with me because I was chosen by the ground lamp?" Lin Chi raised his head, his face was very calm, but there was a layer of water in his eyes.

"?" Lou Qi was stunned for a moment, "Why do you say that?"

"If Di Deng chose another person at the beginning, if another person picked up your marriage contract, would you still be with him?" Lin Chi blinked hard to hide the moisture in his eyes.

In this relationship, he has always lacked self-confidence.The person who was cautiously and secretly enamored suddenly accepted his appeal one day and responded to his feelings.How unreal that such a beautiful person suddenly became his and belonged to him!

It wasn't because of anyone's choice, not because of any marriage contract. From the first meeting, Lou Qi became the most special person in his eyes.

Later, he plucked up the courage to propose to Lou Qi, only to realize that the two of them had been tied together by a piece of talisman a long time ago. While he was relieved, there was also a knot in his heart.

——So it's not because I'm good enough to attract your full attention...

That marriage contract undoubtedly promoted the relationship between the two of them, but after they were really together, it became a small flaw in this relationship. This flaw gradually magnified with Lin Chi's lack of self-confidence, and it was so big that Lin Chi couldn't help it anymore. Its existence cannot be ignored.

——In love, people are often selfish and greedy. I got you, and I want to get all of your attention. I don’t use any external force, I don’t want any reason. It’s just me, and I want to occupy your whole heart.

"Excluding all external factors, do you like me like this? If you don't like me, how can your family like me?" Lin Chi resisted the desire to sneak into Lou Qi's arms. like this person.It is true that their relationship is as plain as water, far from the ups and downs of Huaiyin, but this is what he likes, as long as this person is by his side, he can endure countless boring times.

Therefore, even though he had already questioned, Lin Chi added something to make the atmosphere less embarrassing.

Through Lin Chi's questioning, Lou Qi finally realized what the problem was, and he couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief. As long as he found the right key point, soothing Lin Chi's emotions has always been his specialty.

He slowly analyzed to Lin Chi: "In your heart, am I just such a casual person? Just give me a floor lamp, and I will accept it without reservation? Doting on that person like you do? "

"..." Lin Chi drooped his head and said nothing.He knew that Lou Qi was not that kind of person, but there was always a knot in his heart, he thought he didn't care, but in fact it wasn't like that.

Lou Qi sighed softly, and explained to him softly: "I love you, not because of the ground lamp or because of the marriage contract. I admit that we are destined to be here, but there are too many people in this world who are destined to me. , Am I going to fall in love with them? We will be together because I love you, because we love each other. If I don't like it, can a marriage contract make me submit? You underestimate me too."

After hearing this, Lin Chi's complexion improved a little. After he calmed down, he recalled the entanglements he had just had, and felt a little embarrassed, and softly argued, "I care about you..."

Lou Qi laughed, and stretched out his hand to rub his wrinkled face: "I don't blame you, I didn't make it clear before. Shall we still go see your parents-in-law?"

"Go...go, we've come here, didn't we tell them we'll go..." Lin Chi cleared his throat and nodded.

"Don't be nervous, we'll go see them once. If you like it, we'll stay for a while. If you don't feel comfortable staying here, we'll come back after we meet."

"Ah."

Lou Qi comforted him for a while, and watched Lin Chi gradually become happier, then left the back seat and returned to the driver's seat, driving the car to continue.

And Lin Chi's knot that had been pent up in his heart for a long time was finally untied, and his whole body suddenly became clear. He held Yun Bao in his arms, and skillfully changed the subject: "Why did Yun Bao sleep so soundly?"

Lou Qi didn't expose it, and followed Lin Chi's intentions to reveal the topic just now: "Then wake him up when you get to the place."

"it is good."

Half an hour later, the family of three arrived at the Lou's mansion on a mountainside in the outskirts of the city.Similar to Shen's house, Lou's old house is also a huge building complex built on the hillside, covering a vast area and beautiful environment. Even if the suburbs of the city are not as expensive as the city center, it is not a big deal to win such a piece of land. It's easy, so it can be seen that the Lou family is obviously not someone who is waiting for nothing.

The Lou family's ancestors have lived here for generations, so the architecture of the Louzhai looks very old.The place is big, so the living space is naturally sparse. Lou Qi's grandparents live in the mansion in the center of the building complex, while the rest of the people are scattered in their own small courtyards.Lou Qi walked through the labyrinth-like mansion with ease, and soon led Lin Chi into his own yard.

Lou Qi's father is the eldest son and the current head of the Lou family, but among the three brothers, he is the latest to marry, so Lou Qi is the youngest among the cousins. There are two elder brothers above him, one named Lou Jing and one It's called Lou You.

Because Lou Qi had informed his family a long time ago that he would bring Lin Chi back during the National Day holiday, so the whole family squatted in Lou Qi's small courtyard early in the morning, waiting eagerly.

Lou Qi first took Lin Chi back to the house to put down his luggage, then picked up Lin Chi's well-chosen gift, and took his partner and children to the backyard where his family was waiting.Lin Chi hugged Yun Bao and followed Lou Qi to the backyard tremblingly. From a distance, he saw a dozen people sitting in the courtyard talking. He grabbed Lou Qi's clothes and said in a low voice, "What should I do? So nervous!"

Lou Qi couldn't help laughing, stretched out a hand to embrace him, and raised his voice to the chatting people in the yard, "Mom and Dad, this is my partner, Lin Chi."

Everyone in Lou's family raised their heads when they heard the sound, and saw Lou Qi holding a boy who was slightly shorter than him walking towards them. up.

Lin Chi's appearance is very attractive to the elders, and now he is blushing and looks timid and soft, so he is immediately pulled over by Lou Qi's mother and aunt, and Yun Bao is also carried over.Lou Qi carried the gift and followed helplessly.

Lin Chi was pushed into a chair and sat down. Lou's mother excitedly hugged Yun Bao who had just woken up and kissed again and again: "This child is really good-looking, cute and well-behaved, and his temperament must be like Xiao Chi's, so cute I like it! If I follow Xiaoqi, it won't be so cute."

Lou Qi's aunt also took the toys prepared in advance, and coaxed Yun Bao to call someone: "...Look, how good this child is."

The first day of meeting his in-laws came to an end. The kindness of the elders of the building finally gave Lin Chi a big reassurance.The next day, Lou Qi handed Yun Bao over to his parents, and took Lin Chi to attend the reception banquet hosted by his two cousins.

Lou Qi was the first to find a partner among the three, and this time he even brought his child back. During the welcome banquet, the two brothers poured him wine in different ways, but the result was that the meal was not half finished, and Lou Qi and Lou You got drunk and got down on the ground, only the elder brother Lou Jing was sitting in his seat with a graceful face, chatting with Lin Chi.

This was the first time Lin Chi saw Lou Qi drunk. Lou Qi was very honest after drunk, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down, not annoying at all.Lou You was obviously not that honest, he groaned on top of his brother, and yelled loudly from time to time...

In order to make Lou Qi sleep more comfortably, Lin Chi half-supported and half-hugged him up from the table and leaned on his lap.Lou Qi was very drunk, even after being tormented by Lin Chi, there was no sign of waking up.

When sleeping, the curves of the face will become extremely soft. Lou Qi's sleeping face has always been pleasing to the eye, and now it is even more rewarding. Lin Chi is throbbing, and his heart is so soft that it is a mess.Lin Chi has never seen Lou Qi like this before. He is gentle and harmless. The strength that guards everything in the past seems to have disappeared, but it makes people feel closer. For Lin Chi, this is a fresh experience.

"Will you be nervous when you come to see Xiaoqi's parents?" Lou Jing talked to Lin Chi while taking care of the drunk Lou You. Taking care of Lin Chi's feelings, he found topics to chat with him.

"Yes! I'm super nervous, I'm afraid that if I don't do well, everyone will be disappointed with me. But after getting in touch, the elders are very kind, and Lou Qi also takes good care of my feelings, so it's okay, and I've gotten used to it now." Lin Chi scratched his head embarrassingly, and added, "But before I came, I couldn't relax no matter how much I comforted you, and it caused Lou Qi a lot of trouble."

Lou Jing glanced at Lou Qi upon hearing this, then looked at Lin Chi who was nervously guarding Lou Qi, and said with a smile, "You two are together, it's good."

"Ok?"

"Our three brothers grew up together and have a very good relationship. Now that Xiao Qi has found a home, we are really happy for him. Although I am the eldest brother, I am far behind him in many aspects. Xiao Qi has shown extraordinary talent early on. , In this family, he bears far more responsibilities than Lou You and I. I don't know if he has told you about it, but our big family has been looking forward to your appearance for a long time. "

Lou Jing smiled, picked up the wine glass in front of him, took a sip, and continued: "When Lou Qi was born, his grandfather gave him orders. Life is doomed to have no wife and no children, the lone star of the gods! Originally, we thought that as long as people are good, there will be no marriage if there is no marriage. We brothers take care of each other and we can live on. It’s just that he has been very well-behaved and sensible since he was a child. A small child, but behaves very prudently and appropriately, always reports good news to his family but not bad news, knows that he is a lonely star, and does not have too much contact with children of the same age.

"We couldn't figure it out, how could such a good child become the lone star of the evil spirit?! When we thought that no one could stay with him for a long time, take care of him, and give him comfort that his family could not give... we just It was heartbreaking. In this way, Xiaoqi's incident gradually became a heart disease for our whole family.

"Grandpa made an exception and asked Lord Dideng to change Xiaoqi's life. Lord Dideng agreed to this request because of Lou Qi's many years of service, but even Lord Dideng didn't know what the changed fate was. , we can only wait, waiting for a first-line turning point to appear... In the end, we waited for you.

"Actually, as soon as you entered into a marriage contract, the family got news that several elders secretly used utensils to see you and were very satisfied with you. Later we found out that after Xiaoqi was with you, it seemed that he had regained his love. Anger, sorrow and joy, with troubles and emotions, become more vivid."

"..." After listening to Lou Jing's words, Lin Chi couldn't help feeling a lot of emotions in his heart, but it's a pity that thousands of words came to his mouth, but he couldn't utter a word.Fortunately, Lou Jing was not waiting for his answer, but just wanted to convey to him the feeling of the past ten years.

Seeing that it was getting late, the reception banquet had come to an end.

Lou Jing and Lin Chi were alone in charge of carrying a drunk. Fortunately, they were both men and they were strong enough.Lou Jing is tall and tall, so it is very easy to carry Lou You.Although Lin Chi was a little thin, Lou Qi woke up a little after sleeping for a while, and he was able to take him back to the small courtyard where they lived with half-support and half-carry.

Lin Chi put Lou Qi down on the bed, adjusted him to a comfortable position, and then lay beside him, watching him quietly.

The conversation with Lou Jing tonight seems to have brought the distance between Lin Chi and Lou Qi closer - Lou Qi is also an ordinary person, with family and troubles, not everything goes smoothly, and there are also twists and turns. Chi was still perfect in his heart, but more real.

——Lou Qi, I apologize to you for my lack of confidence in this relationship before. Now I am full of joy and feel very satisfied. It turns out that not only you saved me, but I also saved you.We're not just trying to make do, we're a match made in heaven.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi sat on Lou Qi's chest contentedly, and fell into a deep sleep.

Throughout the holiday, Lin Chi and Lou Qi stayed at Lou's house, got along with Lou Qi's family, and lived...During this period, Lin Chi also heard all kinds of gossip, such as the little brother is actually a ghoul, The original shape of Danqing is an ancient painting...

A week later, the family bid farewell to the reluctant members of the Lou family and embarked on their return journey.
