Who is it?

Listening to his sister, Qi Xingchen was happy for no reason.

The original owner has loved Liang Jing for so long, and now he has a boyfriend, Liang Jing has found someone he likes, and both of them have a place to live, which is a perfect ending to that past.

He dragged the suitcase up, and went to the kitchen to work with Qi Yuji on the evening's dishes. Originally, Qi's family had a chef at the table, so they didn't need to do it themselves. Qi Xingchen thought about it and said, "I'll cook two dishes tonight."

"You burn?" Qi Yuji was surprised, "Can you?"

"I learned it during a variety show," Qi Xingchen fooled her, "It's average, I'll give you a taste."

It was a happy day, he didn't have the chance to cook for his family in the real world, and he was eager to experience it over here.

He washes and cuts the vegetables himself, and then observes how Qi Yuji makes the soup.

Then I saw this little fairy, throwing the unscaled fish into the pot.

Qi Xingchen: "......"

No wonder his sister's fish soup is so bad.

"Sis!" He rushed to stop the fairy, "The fish scales need to be scraped off!"

"This fish is soft lin, no need to scrape. And fish scales contain a lot of vitamins and collagen, scraping them off wastes the nutrients."

...... The principle is correct, Qi Xingchen could not refute it for a while, and could only grab the fish from her hand, "Sister, our family is not poor in nutrition, let me do it."

The stomach of the fish had already been cleaned up by the kitchen aunty, only the scales remained to be scraped. Qi Xingchen took the knife and carefully scraped off the scales.

Qi Yuji looked at his movements, and crossed his arms in anger: "Which damn variety show, how come even the rough work of scraping fish scales is made for you to do?"

"Sooner or later, you have to learn." Qi Xingchen said vaguely.

As he spent more and more time with the Qi family, he grew to love the cannon fodder from the original book of the family and the life he was living now.

A life where someone cares and remembers.

He was unfamiliar with everything here when he first came in, so he kept himself closed off, never treating the Qi family as his real family. He also didn't tell them that the original Xingchen had already left, and that what stood in front of them now was another brand new soul.

After all this time, he no longer wanted to continue to hide from the Qi family, after all, there should be no lies among true relatives.

Find a chance to tell them, Qi Xingchen secretly thought, if they can accept, he will replace the original master to properly fulfill the filial piety.

If they don't accept it, he'll try to find clues to see if he can replace the dead original owner.

After all, this is the book world, so if the plotline ends, maybe it's not a sure thing that we'll go back to square one.

Afraid that the fumes would smoke Qi Yuji, Qi Xingchen coaxed her out. Nearly half an hour later, when the three dishes he had cooked himself were ready and the chef was only missing the last two, he washed his hands and went out, ready to change into clean clothes and wait for dinner.

In the living room, Liang Jing was holding a bouquet of flowers and discussing with Qi Yuji how to make it look better in the vase.

"Liang Jing," Qi Xingchen greeted with a smile, "How have you been, did the clinic go well."

Liang Jing stiffened his back and turned around.

The moment she saw his face, Qi Xingchen almost thought she had mistaken him for someone else.

Liang Jing originally had a relatively proportional body, his face was clear and elegant, but now his face was white with yellowish color. But now his face is white with a yellowish color, his cheeks are slightly sunken inward, his eyes are dyed with a touch of black and blue, and his lips are not very blood-colored.

It looks like it's been in bad spirits for a long time.

"...... You look so bad, are you having trouble with the project?" Qi Xingchen is a little heartbroken.

"No," Liang Jing glanced at him and then moved his eyes away, "Maybe I didn't rest well during the change of season, my spirit is not good, it's okay."

"It's really okay? Just talk to me if you need anything, I'll help you if I can."

Liang Jing softly "hmm", turned back to continue arranging flowers with Qi Yuji.

Although he hadn't had much contact with Liang Jing, Qi Xingchen could clearly feel that Liang Jing's attitude towards him today was a bit strange.

I vaguely remember the day I went to the airport to pick up Liang Jing, the other hand wanted to touch the top of his head. Liang Jing went to S city to visit the class, also took his shoulder, acted very close.

Bai Ye was even jealous of him.

Not once, has it been so detached as it was shown today.

With Qi Yuji present, Qi Xingchen was not in a position to ask, and stood still for a few seconds to think before continuing to his room.

After a brief rinse and a change of clothes, Qi Yunxiao and Qi's father had already returned.

"Aigoo, look who's here, it's not our little Xingchen," Qi's father was in a happy mood, "He hasn't been back for a long time, do you still remember what the house looks like?"

...... With this sour tone, Qi Xingchen half petulant, half explaining, "Dad, the program team can't get away, I can't help it."

"It's true that you can't leave, or you don't want to go yourself."

Qi Xingchen choked.

He suspected his dad knew something.

When the meal was ready, Qi Xingchen quickly slipped up to the table to avoid the question. Liang Jing wanted to take a seat at the outermost part of the long table, and Qi Yuji said, "Xiao Jing, why are you suddenly sitting here, go and join Xingchen."

Since childhood, no matter the original master to Liang family to rub rice, or Liang Jing to rub rice in the Qi family, all sit together like a Siamese twins, the two families have long been accustomed to become natural.

Liang Jing hesitated for a few seconds, but could only sit back next to Qi Xingchen. Qi Xingchen pushed the dishes to him, took out his cell phone, and secretly took a picture of the table.

Hands under the table to Bai Ye.

Xingchen: [picture]

Xingchen: [Have you gotten off the plane yet?]

Bai Ye has a fashion event tomorrow and is flying to B city today, and he was shown the ticket information before he left. According to the flight time projection, this moment should have landed, may be blocked by fans or waiting for luggage or something, did not have time to return to him.

Qi Xingchen couldn't wait to hear Bai Ye's news and kept his eyes glued to his cell phone. Liang Jing turned his head to get a hand towel and saw Qi Xingchen's screensaver.

...... It's a picture of that familiar looking man.

He stood at the edge of the high stage, and although only a side view was captured, he still couldn't hide his powerful aura, proud, reserved, and good enough to dazzle.

Liang Jing snorted, not sure if she was laughing at herself or Qi Xingchen as a public figure who dared to use her boyfriend's picture as a screensaver.

That's got to be a favorite.

Not long after, all of Qi's family members were on the table. Everyone is very familiar, Qi father simply said, "Welcome Xiao Xiao Jing to come over as a guest, I do not say much, the Qi family is your home, want to eat what you clip."

"Okay," Liang Jing said politely, "thank you Uncle Qi."

Because of their upbringing, Qi's family and Liang Jing eat quietly, mostly by themselves, with a few words of conversation from time to time.

Therefore, the sound of the cell phone sticking to the desktop vibration is exceptionally obvious. After two short "buzz-buzz-buzz" sounds, Qi's father said, "Whose cell phone is that? Yunxiao, did I not say that no non-important business should be handled during dinner."

Qi Yunxiao: "My cell phone is in my room."

"...... So what, Dad," Qi Xingchen raised his hand weakly, "is my message."

"Oh, quickly back, back after peace of mind to eat," Qi father instantly changed the face, "Do not learn your brother, dinner time busy work, and finally hard to the stomach busy bad."

Qi Yunxiao: "......" What did he do?

Okay, for the sake of my beloved Xingchen, I'll take it.

However, the two brothers knew clearly that their father was saying this for the sake of their health. Qi Xingchen obediently scanned through the information.

Bo: [I just got to the hotel and the front desk at check-in happened to be a fan, signing autographs for her so I didn't pour out a hand to get back to you with a message].

Bo: [Is this dinner?

Looking at the long explanation above, Qi Xingchen couldn't help but curled his lips.

When they first met, Bai Ye talked to him in two or three words, never saying much and never explaining so patiently.

Bai Ye is changing for him.

He's too happy.

Qi Xingchen instantly threw his father's instructions to the back of his mind, clasping his cell phone with both hands and typing earnestly: [It's dinner, is it sumptuous?

Bo; [Abundance]

Xingchen: [There are three dishes in there that I made, guess which three]

Bo: [Stewed Beef Brisket with Tomatoes, Okra in Fishing Sauce, Squid in Sauce]

Xingchen: [How did you guess?]

Bo: [You cooked on Poor Traveler, and I realized then that you were better at simpler, home-cooked northern food]

It's true. Qi Xingchen silently sighs that the Creator is simply too biased when creating people.

Why do you pile beauty, talent, kindness, gift, intelligence, etc. on Bai Ye?

How can anyone live with that?

Hiss, no, Qi Xingchen thought on second thought - such an anticlimactic Bai Ye was his.

In this way ...... When the Creator made him, not to mention, the attribute "Luck" was full of points.

Seems to be good too, hahahaha!

Qi Xingchen desperately tensed the corners of his mouth to prevent his family from seeing that he was out of sorts, and continued to type, [Okay, count yourself smart. When are you going to eat?

Seeing the "~", Bai Ye's discomfort from the airplane dissipated, and he couldn't help but laugh: [The brand will come over to welcome me later].

Xingchen: [How long do I have to eat?

Bo: [Not sure, they want to talk about deeper cooperation]

Xingchen: [that ......]

What about the video appointment?

Though, though they were together this morning, and by all rights should not have been included in the video.

But he ...... Kind of miss Bai Ye.

Bai Ye immediately guessed what he was thinking and looked at his wristwatch: [Do you have time now? The brand will arrive at the hotel in about ten minutes, so we can make a video first].

Qi Xingchen's worries fell apart in less than a second, and she happily replied: [Wait for me for two minutes].

After sending it, he raised his hand, "Report! Dad, I'm going back to my room to make a phone call, I'm in a special hurry, I'll be back in almost seven or eight minutes."

Qi Xiaoming: "Granted."

"Thanks Dad!"

As soon as the words fell, the person had already run back to the room on the second floor in a puff of smoke.

Locking the door, Qi Xingchen sends a video request to Bai Ye. A few seconds later, the face you've seen a billion times before appears on the screen.

Bai Ye is routinely checking the room for cameras, and as he walks away, he asks, "Finished eating?"

Qi Xingchen: "Finished!"

"Is everything okay at home."

"Great, thanks for asking."

Qi Xingchen asked some unhelpful questions, such as whether there were paparazzi at the airport, how many fans were there to meet him, and what the climate was like there.

As he asked, he couldn't help rubbing his fingers against Bai Ye on the screen.

It's like you can feel each other's temperature through the screen.

So Bai Ye confirms the camera, lowers his head, and all he sees are the wide eyes of his little fan and his fingers scratching on the screen.

Bai Ye was curious, "What are you rubbing?"

Qi Xingchen: "You."

Bai Ye sniffs and subconsciously ducks.

Qi Xingchen didn't rub it, frowned, and kept rubbing.

Bai Ye got into the mood of teasing Qi Xingchen. When Qi Xingchen's hand crossed to the left, he dodged to the right; when Qi Xingchen crossed to the right, he dodged to the left.

So after five misses, a certain fan finally couldn't take it anymore and questioned accusingly, "What are you always hiding from!"

Bai Ye: "Trying to catch me?"

Qi Xingchen "Uh-huh" out of the corner of his throat.

The more aggravated he was, the more Bai Ye wanted to bully him and took the opportunity to make a deal: "Then you pamper yourself."

Qi Xingchen was speechless for a moment, his brain vessels nearly bursting--how could he know this stuff?

"How, how do I spread it?" He had no choice but to ask for help.

"Like in the bathroom on the day of the mentor support act," Bai Ye says, "call your brother, and you play the rest."

"......" Hearing the other side's request, Qi Xingchen was mortified.

At that time, he said anything to coax Bai Ye. Now the situation is not so urgent, how can he say anything?

Ahhhhhhh!

However, after collapsing for a moment and deciding for two seconds, Qi Xingchen still felt that catching Bai Ye was the most important thing and spoke with a red face, "Brother, brother, don't move."

When he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes, biting his lips tightly out of shyness, his two small white teeth sunk into his full, fresh lips.

Bai Ye had no reason to be agitated.

--Damn, who the hell is this hard for.

Bai Ye took a deep breath, pushed down the dryness, and bumped the screen with the knuckle of his middle finger, "Xingchen."

"...... Hmm?" Sensing the call, Qi Xingchen lifted his eyes and looked earnestly at the person across from him.

Bai Ye was seen switching his middle finger to his index finger, reversing his hand and pressing his fingertip on the center of the screen.

Qi Xingchen was stunned, then reacted to what he was doing, and stretched out his index finger, touching Bai Ye's fingertip.

In a flash, the cold screen was colored with temperature.

That temperature comes from two, fiery hearts that miss each other.

.

People in love always do something inexplicably stupid.

Qi Xingchen thought that they had just been as silly as they could be, but that didn't stop him from laughing until his face froze.

He managed to collect his smile and rubbed his face as he made his way down the stairs. Everyone's meal was almost gone, so he grabbed his seat and grabbed his bowl to catch up on his progress.

"Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry," Qi Yuji admonished like a mother, and turned to Liang Jing, "By the way Xiao Jing, I have something to ask you. I heard Uncle Li say that you've been getting close to a girl lately, is there a situation?"

Uncle Li is the name of the Liang family's housekeeper, and at the word, Liang Jing's face changed slightly.

Qi Yuji was a man of the past, and could guess by his expression, and said with a straight face, "I'm not interfering with you, it's your freedom who you date. I'm asking you because as a girl, I know more about girls, so maybe I can give you a little relationship advice."

"We're not in love!"

As if afraid of any misunderstanding, Liang Jing immediately retorted, "We just, just ......"

Unsure of which adjective to use, he finally whispered, "We're just touching."

Doesn't contact mean pursuit? Qi Yuji sees through it and raises his left eyebrow at Liang Jing with interest, "What's the woman's origin, tell me."

Qi Xingchen also pricked up his ears, wanting to know what Liang Jing's other half was like.

However, Liang Jing's reply almost made him lose his grip on the bowl in his hands---

"She's my patient's sister," Liang Jing paused, "and an actress."

...... Patient's Sister ...... Actor.

Qi Xingchen's brain buzzed, not caring about the half of Qi Yuji's already asked question, incredulously said, "You are talking about ...... Tao Tao Sister?"

After fifteen seconds of silence, Liang Jing nodded his head.

Qi Xingchen put down his chopsticks and received his hands under the tablecloth.

Shaking badly.

.

Even though his heart was filled with Bai Ye, Qi Xingchen had been sending messages to Qi Jiaze from time to time lately, asking about the situation of those two little cubs.

As he expected, Tao Xuan's physical condition is still the same, but his psychological condition has improved, and he is said to have a much brighter personality and can eat a big bowl of rice when he is happy.

It's a good omen.

So he thought Liang Jing wouldn't go so far as to donate a kidney.

Who knew that without realizing it, Liang Jing and Tao Tao had gotten so close?

In fact, if Tao Tao and Liang Jing can get married, it may not be a good thing, but he always has an ominous feeling.

Even if Tao Xuan's condition doesn't deteriorate in the near future, as long as Liang Jing keeps in contact with Tao Tao, sooner or later, Liang Jing will return to his original track.

Deep love, kidney donation, loss, and death.

...... No, no, he must keep a close eye on Liang Jing!

After finishing the meal and removing the table, and chatting for a while over some after-dinner dessert, Liang Jing got up to take his leave, "Thank you for your hospitality, uncle, and thank you Brother Yunxiao and Sister Yuji, it's getting late, I'll go home first."

"Hey, okay," Qi Yuji said with a smile, "wait, I'll see you off."

"No!" Qi Xingchen interrupted her getting up, "I'll go see him off."

Qi Xingchen sent Liang Jing, which was normal, so Qi Yuji didn't fight for it and let his two brothers go out.

Qi family s yard is large, from the villa to walk to the gate fast walking for five minutes, slow walking enough to sneak around for twenty minutes. Qi Xingchen deliberately slowed down the pace, deliberated: "Liang Jing, when did you like Tao Tao sister ah ...... Do you remember that we agreed that no matter which girl you like, you have to tell me in time."

When he finished, he turned his head and waited for Liang Jing to answer.

Liang Jing didn't say anything.

In their few encounters, Liang Jing never failed to respond, and Qi Xingchen pressed, "Tell me."

But Liang Jing asked rhetorically, "Do you really care?"

Really care about ...... ?

Qi Xingchen thought for half a day, didn't understand what the other party meant, and queried, "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand."

"Don't play dumb with me."

At that, Liang Jing suddenly turned his body sideways. Qi Xingchen was startled by his sudden movement and stepped back, his heel accidentally stepping on the edge of the flower bed.

Before he was about to fall, Liang Jing reached out and pulled him back. His fingers tightly wrapped around Qi Xingchen's arm, his face as heavy as water, he said in a single word:

"Tell me, who the hell - are you?"
