Chapter 88 – Brother

Xu Jian will restore to factory settings every time he changes, so even if he and Qin Chen have expressed their intentions and their relationship became clear, Xu Jian didn’t hesitate to refuse after listening to Qin Chen’s proposal to sleep together tonight.

This time is different from the past. If he wakes up naked on Qin Chen’s bed again, Xu Jian has 99% confidence that they will have unintended s** first thing in the morning.

They haven’t been together for a long time, so it’s better to be reserved.

After turning back into a cat in advance, Xu Jian became a cat eater again. After eating a little, he was full. Qin Chen took a paper towel to wipe his mouth, and his eyes stared straight at Qin Chen’s bowl of fried eels.

Seeing that he was craving, Qin Chen wanted him to eat more, then his eyes swept to his round body and decisively dispelled the idea.

For the sake of the little ancestor’s health, it’s better to control his diet.

Lying in bed at night, Xu Jian looked at his furry meat pad, full of doubts:

Previously, Mustache said that crossing the Yang can prolong his transformation time. Why did he not only extend it but advanced it today?

Does the method of crossing the Yang no longer work? Or did Mustache lie to them?

The latter possibility just popped up and was cut off by Xu Jian. It’s impossible for Mustache to go to such great lengths for two yuan, not to mention that his method was indeed useful before today.

Thinking through his broken head, he didn’t have a single thought, making Xu Jian confused, his eyelids were fighting, and he didn’t know when he fell asleep.

…………

The next day, Xu Jian got up earlier than Qin Chen. He was neatly dressed and washed and there was still no movement in Qin Chen’s room.

Standing in front of Qin Chen’s door, with his ears pressed to the door, eavesdropping for a few seconds, Xu Jian was a little surprised: Still asleep?

If he remembers correctly, Qin Chen has work today and will go to the company in the morning.

It was getting late. He glanced at the closed door. Xu Jian thought for a while, raised his hand, and lightly knocked on the door twice, calling the person in a low voice, “Qin Chen? Are you awake?”

After asking, Xu Jian listened again but still didn’t hear any movement.

After standing outside the door for a while, Xu Jian finally opened the door cautiously.

The curtains on both sides of Qin Chen’s room were drawn tightly, with no light at all. His field of vision was too dark. After losing the cat’s vision advantage, Xu Jian squinted his eyes and could only see the protruding outline of the bed.

While slowing down his steps towards the bed, Xu Jian lowered his voice and tentatively spoke:

“It’s almost nine o’clock, are you awake?”

Qin Chen, who was lying on the bed, was motionless and didn’t respond, obviously still in a dream.

Xu Jian didn’t expect Qin Chen to oversleep one day. After smiling, he approached the bedside and pulled the quilt, as he said, “Get up, you have to go to work today, ya^[1]similar to ah—”

Just after pulling the quilt, Xu Jian didn’t get to finish his words. Qin Chen, who was lying with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and raised his hand to accurately grasp the wrist by which he was pulling the quilt. Then, with a little force, Xu Jian, who was already bent over, was thrown on the bed with an unstable center of gravity.

Xu Jian didn’t expect Qin Chen to deliberately pretend to be asleep and engage in a surprise attack. He saw that he was somehow pinned down on the bed when he reacted.

It happened in an instant, Xu Jian raised his eyes in horror and was directly confronted with Qin Chen’s face that was close at hand. Qin Chen stretched out a hand to turn on the bedside lamp, then raised his hand to pinch Xu Jian’s face, and said with a smile, “Good morning ah, Mr. Xu who threw himself at me.”

Mr. Xu: “……”

Xu Jian felt that Qin Chen was unreasonable. It was clearly his sneak attack but deliberately distorted the facts to say that he took the initiative to throw himself at him.

Raising his hands and rubbing Qin Chen’s face, Xu Jian pretended to be serious and said to himself, “Let me feel it, where’s your face?”

He lowered his head and kissed Xu Jian. Qin Chen smiled, “Don’t worry, your boyfriend’s face is still there, and is as handsome as ever.”

Amused by him, Xu Jian looked at him, “How can you praise yourself?”

Where is the Qin Chen, Film Emperor Qin, that is aloof and difficult to get along with?

Qin Chen changed his words hearing him, and went along, “Then you praise?”

Xu Jian cupped his face with both hands, raised his head, and kissed him on the forehead with a “mwah”, his eyebrows curved, “Handsome!”

Xu Jian’s mouthful “mwah” is still ringing.

Although there was only one word, Qin Chen reaped the benefits. He raised his hand and pointed to his lips, asking for a kiss confidently, “This, too.”

After hearing this, Xu Jian’s gaze lingered on his lips for two seconds, then firmly refused, “No, you haven’t brushed your teeth yet.”

The shunned Qin Chen: “……”

Qin Chen’s eyes narrowed dangerously, he lifted his hand to tickle Xu Jian. Xu Jian, who was sensitive and ticklish, twisted into a mahua^[2]fried dough twist. When he was out of breath with laughter, he called out, What Brother Qin, Brother Qin, and Mr. Qin, shouting all over.

The two made trouble in bed for a while. When Qin Chen finally let Xu Jian go, he was already exhausted from laughing, and his whole person was paralyzed on the bed with a ‘大’ shape, like a wasted fish.

With weak hands and feet, Xu Jian resentfully looked at Qin Chen, who was refreshed and got up to go to the bathroom to wash up. He had the illusion that he was a ruined little daughter-in-law, and Qin Chen was a scumbag, who put on his pants and didn’t own up to his fault.

…………

The contract for <Chaotic Steps and Flying Swords> has been signed, and the script has been delivered to Xu Jian a few days ago. Xu Jian has nothing to do these days but to look at it.

Today, Qin Chen has to go to the company, and Xu Jian has nothing to do again and read the script at home:

Qi Feng, played by Xu Jian in <Chaotic Steps and Flying Swords>, is a typical male duo, and grew up with the female lead as childhood sweethearts and was born as a son of a wealthy family. His green garment is fluttering gently like a jade. Every move reveals elegance and nobility, and his gentle treatment to people reveals alienation.

Qi Feng treats people impeccably, has a good look, good family background, and has a good character. He is the dream of all the rich young ladies who haven’t been married. However, as it turns out, the good-looking gongzi is arranged to be betrothed to the lovely female lead.

It’s a pity that the day didn’t go as planned. Qi Feng’s family had a sudden change. When Qi Feng and the heroine went out for a trip, vicious thieves broke into his home.

When Qi Feng returned home that night, what he saw was the tragic scene of his parents, brother and sister-in-law, and other seven people lying in a pool of blood. In addition to the housekeepers, servants, and handymen, dozens of people in the whole house, except for his six-year-old little nephew hiding in the water tank, no one survived…

It was a real bloodbath.

Qi Feng, whose family was ruined overnight, was stimulated and his temperament changed drastically. He took his confused little nephew to the female lead’s house to retire and embarked on the road of revenge.

In the play, Qi Feng’s daily raising of a child is also a major point.

Xu Jian has basically never gotten along with children. He was a little unsure whether he can perform the strict and loving feeling required in the script.

Acting with children is sometimes much more difficult than with adults; there is a need to pay attention to the atmosphere and feelings.

Looking through the interactive plot of Qi Feng and his little nephew in the script, Xu Jian thought for a while and decided to go out to find his feelings and see how other people get along with children.

After searching for the nearby park on his phone’s map, Xu Jian put on his coat and scarf and went out.

Today happened to be the weekend, Xu Jian took a taxi to the Wetland Park with the largest flow of people nearby.

Xu Jian wanted to go around the park near the apartment, but after getting into the taxi, the driver enthusiastically told him that if he wanted to join in the fun, he had to go to the Wetland Park in Sanshui District, where there are many people.

Xu Jian, who was rushing to the lively scene, nodded without hesitation, “Okay, then go to the Wetland Park.”

It took more than half an hour for the taxi to arrive, and the driver who took a large bill beamed at Xu Jian and said, “Here we are, will you^[3]formal/courteous you scan the code or pay in cash?”

After glancing at the meter, Xu Jian calmly smiled and said to scan the code, but when the amount was entered, his heart was dripping blood. If he had known earlier that it was so far, he would’ve taken the bus; it saves energy, is environment-friendly, and saves money.

The Wetland Park is indeed very lively, and there are many children. There are all kinds of small toys sold in the small square in the center. Xu Jian passed by and thought it was fun. On a whim, he bought a balloon for five yuan and tied it to his wrist.

It’s even a Doraemon.

A 181 tall man with a balloon tied to his hand is already eye-catching, not to mention a handsome guy with long legs, and his turning heads rate^[4]Like the rate of how many people turn their heads on him XD is simply 100%.

Xu Jian originally bought it for fun. Now that everyone was looking at him in amazement, he was a little embarrassed to be stared at, so he found a relatively hidden seat to sit.

From the direction of Xu Jian, several children could be seen shoveling sand in the sand box with small shovels and buckets, while their parents stood on the side and chatted.

Xu Jian began to pay attention to the demeanor and movements of these parents when talking to their children, then he carefully wrote down the conclusions he had observed in the small notebook he brought.

It’s easy to lose track of time when concentrating on one thing. When he saw the parents starting to help the children playing in the sand box to pack up their toys, Xu Jian felt a little hungry.

When he looked at the time, it was surprisingly almost twelve noon.

After sorting his notes he got from observing for a few hours, Xu Jian planned to go to lunch first, then continue in the afternoon.

After he put the small notebook back in his pocket and patted it, Xu Jian stretched out and stood up; but when he raised his foot to take a step forward, he suddenly felt dizzy, causing him to fall back into the seat with a jolt.

Waking up again after the dizziness, Xu Jian opened his eyes and saw tall and thick three trunks and enlarged leaves.

After taking a look at his fluffy legs, Xu Jian: “……”

With yesterday’s early change back into a cat, Xu Jian suddenly changed back to a cat at noon this time. After panicking for a moment, he quickly calmed down and thought to himself—

How do I go back now?

The balloon that was originally tied to him didn’t know where it went, so Xu Jian jumped off the seat and fled the scene immediately.

Although the place he chose was hidden, Xu Jian wasn’t sure if there were surveillance cameras that would catch him; he had to walk.

As if someone was holding a cage behind him to catch a cat, Xu Jian’s four short legs tumbled quickly and rapidly left Wetland Park.

When he came by taxi, Xu Jian just wanted to go back the same way, but he didn’t remember the way, and he couldn’t tell north, east, south, and west at all.

Looking at the busy road, Xu Jian regretted it now: I should’ve known not to run too far.

Xu Jian didn’t tell Qin Chen before he went out. Even if Qin Chen couldn’t see the other when he got home, he wouldn’t know where to start, he can only worry helplessly.

Waiting for Qin Chen to rescue him on this road will get him nowhere. It’s not Xu Jian’s character to sit and wait for death, so he intends to save himself and ran to the bus stop to look at the information board, wanting to see the name of the station he was familiar with.

Xu Jian, who was a round snow-white furry, stopped at the bus stop and raised his head to look at the information board. A young couple waiting for the bus was the first to notice the snow dumpling-like him.

The girl raised her hand and pulled her boyfriend’s shirt, she pointed at Xu Jian and whispered, “Look, there’s a fat cat!”

Before he got fat, others would say when they see Xu Jian—look, there is a cute and beautiful cat!

And now… Xu Jian’s first impression to passersby was ‘fat’.

Xu Jian’s wagging tail stopped: “……”
