Chapter 30: Pick You Up

"I don't want to climb the wall!"

Qi Xingchen shouted and sat up from the bed.

Then a bright light blinded him, and he turned to his left, covering his eyes, and only realized that it was daytime now, and that last night was over, when he saw the light of day leaking through the curtains.

Thanks to the fake Ai Dou, he had a dream all night in which the real Ai Dou kept questioning him: "Did you climb the wall? Did you climb the wall? Did you climb the wall?"

...... How dare he climb the wall? He asked fake Ai Dou that question last night because he was afraid that if he lost contact with her, he wouldn't be able to follow the plot in real time!

He only loved Bai Ye from the beginning to the end!

Qi Xingchen climbed out of bed, brushing her teeth and turning on her cell phone.

The screen lit up, followed by a bunch of notifications, a dozen or so WeChat messages and three missed calls.

One came from Qi Yuji, who said he would pick him up at the airport tonight, and Qi Xingchen replied [OK].

The rest of the "Poor Traveler" guests are Luo Qiuman flying to Hong Kong, Liu Ziyu and Tao Tao going to Shanghai for a branding event, Zhang Yunfei seamlessly entering Hengdian Film and TV City, and Bai Ye preparing to go to Washington.

We all have different destinations and different flights, so we agreed not to see each other off, but to say goodbye directly on WeChat.

So Qi Xingchen replied one by one, wishing them a safe journey.

That taken care of, he opened the missed call log.

I can't believe it's all from Du Lanxin!

What did she want with him? Qi Xingchen wiped the toothpaste foam from the corner of his mouth and dialed back.

"Sister Heart."

Du Lanxin's tone seems to be very anxious: "Why did you take it early in the morning, why don't you answer the phone?"

"Sorry, I just woke up."

"Next time don't turn off your cell phone in bed."

Du Lanxin said a lot of things, to the effect that being an artist requires one to be on call at all times, and that there may be an announcement at any time, but his tone was not as tough as before.

Obviously seeing as how his popularity has increased and his circumstances have changed, he's ready to treat the newborn cash cow well.

Qi Xingchen "hmm", Du Lanxin satisfied: "Come to the company early tomorrow, the Youth League asked you to do a short interview. I've also picked up a book for you, so take a look at it by the way."

Communist Youth League? Out of the news broadcasts not to mention, he can even bother the official media to interview, so nervous ah.

As well as picking up a book ......

He didn't understand what it meant at first, and three seconds later snapped to attention - Du Lanxin was talking about the script.

He's going to have a play!

However, Du Lanxin's resources are average, so the odds are that it's not a good lineup. Qi Xingchen casually agreed, packed up his belongings, and set off on his way home.

At eighteen, the flight landed on time.

Qi Xingchen pushed his luggage to the exit, trying to find the elevator down to the underground parking lot, when a girl in front of him suddenly shouted his name: "Aaaaahhhh! Xingchen! Aaaaahhhh!"

Qi Xingchen paused in his tracks.

The girl's voice was unfamiliar, not Qi Yuji or Du Lanxin, and besides, Du Lanxin hadn't said anything about picking him up.

He looked toward the source of the sound and saw almost a dozen girls running toward him with small steps, holding up lighted signs, banners, and other items of support.

...... It has his name printed all over it.

"Brother, we are your starlight. Tired from just getting off the plane?"

"That's a lot of stuff, when is the assistant picking you up?"

"What about the next trip, any plans?"

The girls surrounded him in the center and chattered and asked a bunch of questions.

In the past, when he was in the Bai Ye fan group, whenever there was an event, the president of the back-up club would organize for the fans to go to the airport to pick up and drop off the plane.

Qi Xingchen Haven't eaten pork, but I've seen a pig run, and my brain is white and a little disbelieving--

I can't believe a fan came to pick him up as well!

The attention figures on Twitter, thirty thousand and one million didn't make much difference to him, they were all virtual.

Now that the fans were standing alive in front of him, he realized with hindsight that-

He's an Ai Dou.

There really are so many people, even if they've never met him, who are thinking of him all the time.

Qi Xingchen froze for a few seconds and hurriedly took two steps forward, "Come here, let's not block the exit."

"Okay brother." The Starlights obediently followed on either side of him.

To take care of the girls, he purposely slowed down his pace and chatted with them as he walked.

"It's okay, I'm not too tired after sleeping the whole way."

"My family came to pick me up and are waiting in the parking lot right now."

"I'll probably take a couple days off before I work again, and don't worry, I won't be a missing person."

The Starlighters didn't realize he was so good-tempered and bounced around happily as he answered all their questions.

When they reached the elevator entrance, Qi Xingchen said, "Okay, I should go down, you guys go back soon too, be safe on the way."

"Uh-huh, you too oh." The Starlights were very well behaved.

"Brother," at that moment a girl took out a small box, "I have a present for you."

Bai Ye never accepts personal gifts from fans, only letters and congratulatory gifts from the station's collective. Qi Xingchen, who follows Ai Dou, immediately refused, "I appreciate your kindness, but I can't accept gifts."

"It's nothing valuable," said the girl sharply, "it's a plush pendant I made myself, believe it or not."

To prove herself, the girl opened the gift box on her hands and knees.

Inside is indeed a plush pendant with a single eye and pointed chin, instantly recognizable as Qi Xingchen's Q version of the doll.

Qi Xingchen's heart suddenly softened, "How long have you been doing this."

"Over a week."

"Okay," Qi Xingchen wavered, "I'll take it then, don't do it in the future, spend more time on studying and resting, thank you."

He returned his hand and hung the pendant on the side of his backpack, and the rest of the stars immediately let out a lemon goblin-like cry of alarm.

.

The Qi family has a special parking space at the airport, and Qi Xingchen followed the signs, looking for Qi Yuji's Bentley with the license plate number 666 and small wings.

It turned out that when I walked to the place, the tail numbers 666 and 777 were there.

Qi Yuji is leaning against her car, holding up her powder case to touch up her makeup. She paired a short couture jacket with a skirt and knee-high boots that doubled the length of her legs.

Qi Yunxiao stood next to her on the phone, tall and straight, his smoky gray shirt buttoned up to the second. About is just finished reading documents, black frame glasses did not have time to take off, added a few points of asceticism.

Qi family old man is wearing more formal, suits and dresses, hair combed meticulously, even if stepping into the age group of uncle, is also the most handsome cub in the uncle.

All dressed up like this, if they didn't know them, they were afraid to think they were going to receive the leader of some country.

Qi Xingchen took a look at the punching bag and jeans she was wearing for comfort, and instantly felt one million percent out of place.

He cleared his throat in embarrassment, wanting to ask what everyone was doing here, and didn't wait to open his mouth when the door of the Lamborghini next to him suddenly rose up.

A long legged man in ripped jeans landed on the floor, followed by a seventeen or eighteen year old teenager walking down.

The teenager's hair was dyed granny gray and blown into the most popular hair style of the moment. His eyebrows were open and arrogant, he was dressed fashionably, and the two studs in his left ear shone with a fine light.

Qi Xingchen didn't have time to remember who he was, the man looked at him first and opened his mouth with a bloody accusation, "Brother, why didn't you tell me when you left?!"

Oh, Qi Xingchen remembered, this is the original owner's uncle's cousin, Qi Jiaze.

As soon as Qi Jiaze made a sound, the rest of them also realized that the big baby had arrived. Qi Yuji hurriedly put away the powder and snapped, "Jiaze, your brother is very tired, let's not talk about this first oh."

After saying that she turned to Qi Xingchen with worried eyes, "Xingchen, you seem to have lost weight again."

"No, I've probably been exercising a lot and my muscles have tightened up a bit, so it looks like I've lost weight, but actually I haven't changed my weight."

Later in life, under the supervision of a certain fake Ai Dou, he ate every meal twelve times too full to be thin.

"That's good," Qi Yuji's eyebrows relaxed, "I made you soup, it's almost ready now, let's go back and drink it."

"Uh, by the way," Qi Xingchen asked, "what brings you all here."

"We came to take you home!"

Qi Yuji replied with a smile, and Father Qi and Qi Yunxiao attached their heads in unison.

Qi Xingchen's heart softened into a puddle, and he laughed along with her.

666 is Qi Yuji's car, 777 is Qi Yunxiao's car, and when it's time to go home, the harmony that has been maintained up to this point is broken in the end.

Qi Yuji said, "Xingchen, take my car and I'll drive it for you myself."

"She's not a steady driver," Qi Yunxiao said, "I brought Old Sun here, you'd better take mine."

Old Sun was the steadiest driver in the QI family.

"Yes, in Yunxiao's." Qi's father chimed in, as he was traveling with Qi Yunxiao.

Qi Yuji s small face immediately collapsed, and World War III was about to start.

Qi Xingchen was so confused by them, because whoever he chose now would make the other party unhappy, so he simply didn't choose any of them, "I'll take Jiaze's car, I forgot to tell him before I left, so I'll explain it to him on the way."

Upon hearing this, Qi Jiaze's smelly expression finally improved a bit, and threw Qi Xingchen a "I'm counting on you to know what you're talking about" look, and raised the car door for him.

"So ...... All right then." The rest of them could only concede.

After six o'clock it was already past rush hour, there weren't many cars on the road, and the three Qi family members drove home in a single-file line.

On the road, Qi Jiaze looked ahead and said coldly, "What are you trying to explain - don't apologize, I'm telling you, it's useless to apologize."

Qi Xingchen choked.

Qi Jiaze was attending boarding school when he left and could not visit him at home. Moreover, at that time, he had just crossed over and his thoughts were rather disorganized, and he didn't talk much with Qi Yuji, not to mention the original owner's non-biological brother.

In the original owner's memory fragments, Qi Jiaze had a rather bad personality, but was quite nice to him.

On top of that, Qi Jiaze also has a cannon fodder scene.

What exactly is Qi Xingchen need to slowly run through, seems to have something to do with Tao Tao's brother.

In order not to break the good brotherhood, Qi Xingchen asked, "How can you get rid of your anger?"

"Why ask me that?"

Qi Xingchen : "......"

"Forget it," Qi Jiaze snorted, "it's insincere."

From the orphanage to the circus, Qi Xingchen has met all the children of poor families, how to get along with this kind of young master, do not know how to answer, weakly bowed his head.

See put on the lap of the cell phone, he suddenly remembered, Luo Qiuman, they asked him to land after the peace report, and hurriedly opened the WeChat one by one to send a message.

Sending it to Bai Ye, he thought for a moment and typed, "I'm here, are you there yet?

This rhetorical question greatly reduces the likelihood that the other person will see that he is reporting a peace and not reply.

Unfortunately, everyone else replied within ten minutes of posting, and nothing happened to Bai Ye's call log.

Maybe his plane hasn't landed yet, Qi Xingchen thought to himself, shoving his cell phone back into his pocket-

I don't know how, but Qi Jiaze suddenly braked sharply, leaned forward inertially, was strangled back by the seatbelt, and the back of his head hit the back of the seat heavily!

"Hiss..."

The seat is not hard, can bring the feeling of shock by no means good, Qi Xingchen eyes a burst of black, the whole person is confused.

A hand rested on the back of his head, feeling around in an unorganized manner, Qi Jiaze's voice was anxious: "Brother, is it broken?"

"No, no," Qi Xingchen shook his head, "a little dizzy, but I'm fine now."

Qi Jiaze was still uneasy, her fingers felt the back of his head. After making sure that he really didn't feel any blood, his face grimaced and said, "Brother, there are some of your favorite fudge sandwiches in the backseat, so wait here for me for a few minutes."

As he said, he pressed the electric car door, Qi Xingchen hurriedly pulled Qi Jiaze's sleeve: "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to take care of the son of a bitch who crossed the street."

Qi Xingchen followed Qi Jiaze's gaze forward, and only then did he realize that on the crosswalk in the middle of the road, there was a boy wearing a school uniform who was holding his school bag with his head down, walking very slowly.

"Go around him and keep walking," Qi Xingchen shook his head, "He might have something on his mind, or he might not be feeling well."

"Bypass him? Dream on!" Qi Jiaze snorted, "If he dares to hurt you, I must get him killed!"
