Negotiate, break off, threaten each other.

Chi Xiaochi of course would never know the wrath of the Lord God.

He finished recording three songs in one morning alone.

For someone with Cheng Yuan's impeccable musical foundation, the only concern might be that the CD is limited to the quality of his voice.

Lunch was hosted by Cheng Jian, with Su Xiulun and a few staff members in attendance, accompanied by Chi Xiaochi, who ate in a quiet manner with chopsticks.

He's quiet and soft-spoken, in contrast to his outstanding professional skills.

Su Xiulun was more and more appreciative of this younger generation, and kept taking care of him with his words and advising him a few times during the meeting.

The things he mentioned had very little to do with the music itself, but they were all about people, business, and all sorts of other information that was very dry.

Chi Xiaochi listened attentively and took notes silently.

Cheng Jian took it all in stride.

Saying goodbye to Su Xiulun, Cheng Jian drove Chi Xiaochi home, chatting with him on the way, "You never used to be interested in this kind of interpersonal stuff."

Chi Xiaochi opened the window a little, to avoid the car's air conditioning being turned up too warmly and water vapor growing on the front windshield, "Mr. Su is quite enthusiastic, I should learn something too."

Cheng Jian: "He also promised to check the surveillance for you. It's not his job to do that."

Chi Xiaochi asked, "Did you find him on the surveillance?"

Cheng Jian, who was sidetracked from the topic, was a bit offended, "...... looked for it, but I didn't find the person you said."

061 also affirmed this statement, "I went to confirm it as well. It's true that it didn't."

Chi Xiaochi wasn't surprised, and leaned back, thinking, Sure enough, I was wrong again.

Cheng Jian saw his younger brother's tired face and realized that recording songs is a physical labor, so his heart softened a lot, but his mouth was very tough, ordering, "Close your eyes and rest."

Chi Xiaochi closes her eyes, pulls the small blanket from the backseat and flattens it out, then rolls and rolls and rolls, wrapping herself up like a sushi roll.

Cheng Jian was adorable by his brother's small movements, turned to think about all the things he has experienced these days, both dawning, but also feel grateful.

...... Good thing my brother snapped out of that romantic funk in time.

People like Yang Baihua seem to be gentle and harmless, but in fact they are extremely selfish. Of course, it's not that he doesn't like Cheng Yuan, but the only person he loves the most is himself.

He wants to keep Cheng Yuan, not by actively participating in Cheng Yuan's life, but by provoking him verbally, stripping him out of his original circle of friends, and reducing him to a vassal of his own.

He protects his sister, Yang Xiaoyan, not because of his deep love for her, but because "it's not easy to explain if something happens to her", and because Yang Xiaoyan is in possession of a secret that he is ashamed of.

And he had done a poor job as an older brother, clearly noticing so many signs before, not talking to his brother properly, just trying to split them up, but it backfired and he could only watch them stick tighter and tighter together.

If it wasn't for the boarding incident that put Yang Baihua and Cheng Yuan at odds with each other, it's hard for Cheng Jian to imagine how things would have turned out.

On the way, Cheng Jian thought a lot.

The sushi roll in the back row naps with his eyes closed, sleepless.

The afternoon sun was so strong that when I closed my eyes I saw a bright red, the veins of my eyelids shining through the light.

But in a moment, the annoying red color faded.

Chi Xiaochi seemed to feel something: "...... Mr. Six."

"It's more comfortable to rest like this." In his ear was 061's whisper, "Don't think about anything else for a while."

Chi Xiaochi said, "I have concentrated on sunbathing."

061: "...... But you're frowning."

Chi Xiaochi closed his eyes, like a godly man, and said, "I'm feeling the slow process of getting salty."

061: "...... cough."

Chi Xiaochi : "Laugh when you want to, you don't have to hold it in."

061 laughed out loud at once, and the pleasant sound of the laughter drew Chi Xiaochi to raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

When we got home, Chi Xiaochi played the piano for the usual two hours and then went downstairs to pop popcorn for a movie night.

But compared to Chi Xiaochi's ease, some people don't have a very good time.

Yang Xiaoyan lowered his head and entered the cafeteria through the southeast door, which had the least amount of traffic.

She asked for a small wonton, picked a secluded corner and sat down, and before she could take two bites, she heard the chatter of chee chee cha cha ringing out from all sides.

"...... her, just her."

"Can't see the face."

"Depends on the face, it's on Twitter. She deleted the album herself, but it looks like a human hand was one step ahead and took a screenshot."

"...... That's her, I even shared a classroom with her last year when I took the Ma Zhe exam."

"Tang Huan fans are also crazy enough, human flesh eight to our school, the official blog of our school are brushed burst, each and every one of them can curse people, I gave our school a couple of good words, was scolded by a dozen of private messages."

"Who can blame you then, a rat turd ......"

Yang Xiaoyan couldn't eat any more after a couple of bites, and was about to get up and leave when a girl from her dorm entered the cafeteria and bumped into her.

The girl came over, "Yang Xiaoyan, the counselor is looking for you and wants you to come to his office."

Yang Xiaoyan's legs went limp and he instinctively ran away.

The girl was screaming straight behind her, "Where are you going? ...... hey! The words I but brought ah!"

Yang Xiaoyan dared not listen any longer and rushed straight out of the cafeteria.

Dormitory do not dare to go back, the counselor's office do not dare to go, living nineteen years, Yang Xiaoyan for the first time to feel the panic from the heart, torment, despair, regret, a multiplicity of emotions oppressed her breathless.

Finally, Yang Xiaoyan crouched at the door of the playground equipment store, crying and dialing the phone of his parents: "Dad, Dad, you quickly come ...... I've had an accident, please come quickly- "

That night, Chi Xiaochi ate a half-full meal, saving his stomach for popcorn.

Chi Xiaochi's leisurely called 061 a little teary-eyed, "That thing doesn't matter, it's really okay?"

Chi Xiaochi asked rhetorically, "What could go wrong?"

By mid-afternoon, the blue bar representing the value of remorse had steeply risen by 10 points, followed by several phone calls from Yang Baihua, all of which were placed by Chi Xiaochi.

At that time, Chi Xiaochi thought, "Yang Baihua, who is so good at saving face, has just been disliked by him in the morning, and has to buffer for a while, so it's not reasonable for him to change his mind so quickly, so something must have happened.

Sure enough, a tweet from Yang Baihua explained Chi Xiaochi's doubts: "My parents know about us."

Chi Xiaochi says to 061, "Ha, I knew it."

With that, he kindly replied to Yang Baihua: "Congratulations on your coming out success."

Yang Baihua hadn't replied for a long time, and Chi Xiaochi could even think of him with an expression of having eaten a fly.

His next text arrived a few minutes later, "They're pissed."

Chi Xiaochi: "Oh."

Yang Baihua was furious: "It was you who bent me in the first place."

Chi Xiaochi dumped a report from the American Psychological Association arguing the infeasibility of attempting to change sexual orientation and rationally discussed with him, "I can bend you, but I can't make you hard."

Yang Baihua was silent again for a while, this time in shock.

Compared to Chi Xiaochi, who was so excited about flirting with Yang Baihua, 061 was not too optimistic.

From Cheng Yuan's original memories, it seems that the Yang family's old couple, especially Yang's mom, are by no means easy-going.

Chi Xiaochi understood 061's unease, "I know. After all, it's a talent to come up with the idea of having your son work as a free duck for a few years so that the family can emigrate."

061 said, "But you're just entering a career upswing."

Chi Xiaochi rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, "Hmm. A real problem for Cheng Yuan."

061 continued to analyze: "When the situation changes, their mentality will also change: when Cheng Yuan was down and out, it was the Cheng family that begged the Yang family, and the Yang family intended to profit from it, so the two families sort of reached an agreement on their interests; however, now that the Yang family is in a disadvantageous position, they may use the fact that you have had a relationship with Yang Baihua to threaten you for the sake of Yang Xiaoyan. love affair with Yang Baihua and threaten you."

"Threats?"

061 said, "You've just entered a period of rising career, and you have a public image to consider. They're not afraid to wear shoes with their bare feet, so who knows what they'll do."

The world is similar to Chi Xiaochi's original world, where the rainbow flag is waved on the Internet, but in reality, homosexuality is not well accepted, and a few celebrities who openly admitted their sexuality have been badly hid.

After a moment's reflection, Chi Xiaochi said something quite profound: "It's not clear who is barefoot and who is wearing shoes."

After that, he called Cheng Jian and told him the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jian was not much surprised, but still cursed a few moments in his heart, "I know. Brother will help you ......"

"Brother, this is not a small matter, I don't want to hide it from you." Chi Xiaochi but said, "But ...... this time I want to handle it myself."

Cheng Jian A little bit did not return to God, he um and ah responded to a few sentences, hung up the phone, but also stared at the floor-to-ceiling windows for a long time in a daze.

...... How did his family Xiao Yuan grow up so fast.

It was really fast, like overnight.

Watching Chi Xiaochi hang up the phone, 061 was curious: "If you plan to handle it yourself, why did you specifically contact Cheng Jian?"

"Many people think that family members can be spiritually connected, so there are people who teach all sorts of tricks for communicating with bosses, classmates, coworkers, and friends, but few teach how to get along with family members. In fact, communication is very important in getting along with family members." Chi Xiaochi says, "Getting the word out is just the first step."

This mouthful of chicken soup filled 061 with a bit of confusion, but when he looked back, he felt that something was strange.

Chi Xiaochi was not speaking to himself, but more like he was trying to explain something to someone.

But Chi Xiaochi didn't post any more sentiments, and 061 didn't press the issue any further.

And so, one person and one system waited until it was late at night, drew the curtains and turned off the lights, cuddled up with popcorn and watched ghost movies.

Since the last time they watched a ghost movie together, 061 had gained experience and consciously and voluntarily turned down the volume as soon as the ghosts came out.

After two transfers, Chi Xiaochi said, "What are you doing, looking down on me?"

061: "You're not afraid of ......"

Chi Xiaochi said, "If you want to turn it off, turn it off mute. You don't think it's creepy if it's hidden."

061 turned the sound to normal mode.

At that moment, the little ghost girl under the car snaps out and grips the protagonist's foot.

Chi Xiaochi screamed out at the top of his lungs, howling worse than the protagonist.

He said sadly, "Mr. Six, I didn't think you were such a teacher. Where is your teacher's virtue."

061 hadn't actually expected the last scary bridge and the next to be so close together, but he was used to role-playing with Chi Xiaochi and picked up on it, "In all the classes I've brought up for my teacher, no one has ever said that I don't have any teacher's morals."

Chi Xiaochi said, "You have no teacher's ethics."

061 Turn up the volume.

Chi Xiaochi immediately said, "Teacher I was wrong, give me a chance to be a new person."

061 had a go at him for over an hour of double comedy, and the horror movie came to a close with laughter.

After washing up and lying back on the bed, Chi Xiaochi read Yang Baihua's remorse value and found that it was approaching 80.

Chi Xiaochi was not surprised by this result.

Hate is clearly more efficient than love in promoting the negative emotion of "remorse".

Again, as if he thought of something, he asked 061, "No one has ever played like me before?"

061 said, "Not that I know of."

Chi Xiaochi is curious: "Why?"

061 said, "Fear that things are out of control; fear of collapsing the persona; fear that the regret value is not calculated in such a way that the effort is wasted and the work is lost."

Chi Xiaochi, however, said, "That's it. You don't think it's wrong?"

"...... This mentality is fairly normal, I guess."

"I didn't say mindset. I said quantity." Chi Xiaochi rested one hand on the back of his head, "People have a thousand faces, impulsive, calm, reckless, forward-looking, risk-loving, peaceful, ruthless, gentle, decisive, hesitant ...... various. But how do I feel that these hosts' forward-looking character seems to have been carved out of a single mold?"

Chi Xiaochi These words sent a sharp chill down the back of 061 s head.

This guess cannot be pondered at all, as 061 has found that other systems, regardless of the hosts he has taken, have extremely similar personalities.

...... are weak, unassertive, timid and basically will not disobey any rules.

But 061 soon found another rational explanation.

061 said, "But the system picked you in. How is that going to count?"

Chi Xiaochi couldn't answer that question either, "Well ......"

At that exact moment, Cheng Yuan's cell phone rang, and it was an unfamiliar caller.

Chi Xiaochi picked it up casually, "Hello, who is it."

On the other side of the phone was a middle-aged man with a thick accent, "Are you Cheng Yuan, I'm Yang Baihua's father?"

Chi Xiaochi would love to skin it. Such a coincidence.

But his attitude was restrained, gentle and soft, with a completely good boy accent, "Ah, hello uncle."

Judging by the echoes on the other side of the phone, the other party should have turned on the amplification, and more than one pair of ears should be listening to him now.

Yang's father said, "Are you free tomorrow? Your aunt wants to talk to you."

Chi Xiaochi reads Cheng Yuan's memories of Yang's father, who was weak and didn't participate in any family affairs except for work, and Yang's mother, who was a tough person.

Obviously, the latter is harder to cook.

Chi Xiaochi didn't give Yang dad a hard time and said, "Okay, I'll decide the location. Last time my uncle and aunt came to the city to play, I wasn't able to accompany you guys, so tomorrow a meal will at least be my treat. Exactly what time to make the appointment and where to make the appointment, I'll contact Yang Baihua."

"Call your mom and dad too."

"My parents are busy, depending on how things go, and I'm not sure they'll be able to make it."

This skillful hand of anticlimax was beyond Yang Dad's ability to cope with, and he uttered half a dozen words before stifling a thank you and hurriedly hanging up the phone.

061 asked, "You're going? Alone?"

Chi Xiaochi said, "There's still you."

061 says: "When the time comes to make a scene ......"

Chi Xiaochi was all: "It's not going to happen."

It wasn't until the next day's formal meeting that 061 realized that what Chi Xiaochi meant by "not getting into trouble" had two meanings.

For one thing, he chose to meet at the famous local sky-view revolving restaurant, a place that sells a medium rare T-bone steak for $800 in an extremely elaborate setting. Everyone orders and speaks softly. If you raise your voice, a security guard with a stick in his waistband will immediately step in to warn you.

Secondly, Yang's mom is a tiger, and Chi Xiaochi is even more of a tiger than she is.

Chi Xiaochi's show-stopping reserve is so unusual that it's often forgotten that he came from a silo where people lived in a mishmash of smoke and flames, and where he could spend half a day cursing over a head of garlic.

On that day, Chi Xiaochi picked himself up, not elaborately, but at least in keeping with the atmosphere of the restaurant.

He came early and ordered all the food.

All he ordered was Chinese food. He wasn't so bad as to make things difficult for Yang's mom in that regard.

Chi Xiaochi greeted Yang's mom and Yang Baihua with a smile as they appeared at the restaurant's entrance.

When she first took pictures with Cheng Yuan, Yang's mom didn't even think of him as a "little bitch who seduced her son".

And she imagined and the image of the mother and slut is different, Cheng Yuan hair black, did not dye hair, hands and neck did not wear those chicken bits and pieces, only wore a piece of except the price is not low-profile where all very low-profile table, white skin, features beautiful, I do not know if it is not people rely on the cause of the clothes, he from the inside and outside through a lazy nobility, the face of the smile, but it is difficult to penetrate his heart in the mind of what.

Yang Baihua is dumbfounded.

He had never seen Cheng Yuan properly dressed up.

Yang Baihua also said that Cheng Yuan's family is quite rich, why he still wears white shirt and jeans.

Cheng Yuan said proudly, I also look good in white shirt and jeans.

Yang Baihua is asking questions, but in his heart he actually knows exactly what he is doing.

...... Cheng Yuan is to not pressure him.

Just like now, Cheng Yuan, who was neatly dressed in a small suit, gave Yang Baihua a sense of oppression, making him feel that he was a head shorter in front of him.

He called out awkwardly, "Ching."

Yang Ma had been surveying the restaurant's overly elegant décor, and it was only when she heard the word "Xiao Cheng" that she saw the polite and courteous young man smiling in front of her.

Seeing that Chi Xiaochi just came alone, Yang's mom's face did not look good.

It could be said that this face was a far cry from the joyful smile she wore when she accepted the Cheng family's proposal and agreed to marry Yang Baihua and Cheng Yuan.

Chi Xiaochi won't care about that.

As a showbiz person who has collected thousands of black fans, if he cared about what others looked at him, he would have been depressed long ago.

He guided the mother and son into the private room.

The private room was separated from the outside world by a layer of bamboo curtains, suitable for conversation but not for quarrelling.

Yang's mother obviously realized that this was not her home turf, and in a moment of exasperation, when she sat down, she asked, "Where are your parents? Didn't we agree to meet?"

Chi Xiaochi said, "Auntie, what I told uncle yesterday was 'it depends'. My parents are very busy and can't spare the time. Besides, I don't think it's necessary to get my parents to deal with an adult matter, not a middle-school stubble fight."

These words caused Yang Baihua's face to turn green and white as he opened his mouth to digress, "Cheng Yuan, this place is too expensive."

"It's not your money that's being spent. It's my money, of course I want to bring Auntie to the best place." Chi Xiaochi smiles at Yang Ma, "Auntie, I've ordered a few dishes, so watch and eat. If you don't feel like it's to your liking, you can order more."

Jan's mom pulled a grasshopper face and didn't move a muscle.

Chi Xiaochi was the only one who understood.

She was probably treating herself this way because she had already heard their version of the story from Yang Xiaoyan or Yang Baihua, and knew that she wasn't going to help in Yang Xiaoyan's case.

Therefore, in her eyes, Cheng Yuan, who has lost his usefulness, is a little slut who has led her son to a crooked path.

The family couldn't find any other way to settle things for Yang Xiaoyan, but Yang's mother thought that her son had been brought up by Cheng Yuan, and that she couldn't do anything to lower her voice to such a person.

So Chi Xiaochi knew exactly what her strategy would be.

When the food comes up, she doesn't eat it, Chi Xiaochi eats it, and he's not the one with the fire in his heart.

Before she could put on two chopsticks, Yang's mom couldn't sit still, "How old are you?"

"Fast 23."

Yang Ma sneered, "At a young age, it's not good to engage in anything, engage in this kind of shameful thing, ruin your whole life."

Chi Xiaochi wonders, "How is a lifetime ruined?"

Yang's mom said, "It's not shameful for a man to do that kind of thing with a man. If all the men in the world were to engage in such unnatural things, the world would die out."

It's not a nice thing to say, but Chi Xiaochi is at peace with himself.

Everyone has the right to hate something in this world, not to mention that at Yang Ma's age, her values are already impenetrable, and Chi Xiaochi doesn't intend to argue with Yang Ma about this.

And Chi Xiaochi believed that this wouldn't be where she was really coming from.

Sure enough, Yang's mom's next words were, "You have to help with Xiaoyan."

Chi Xiaochi said, "Here it comes.

...... is Cheng Yuan's last hurdle.

The fact that Cheng Yuan and Yang Baihua had been in love was a certainty, and there was no way that the Yang family would accept it, so if the Yang family held onto it, it would always be a bad trouble for Cheng Yuan.

After this, he will be considered truly meritorious.

He swallowed what was in his mouth, but his eyes looked at Yang Baihua: "What does 'get' mean?"

Yang Ma: "I heard Bai Hua say that you're a member of the Cheng family. You've been dating for a while, so if this becomes a big deal, it won't be honorable for your Cheng family."

Chi Xiaochi cocked her head, seemingly puzzled, "Make a scene? Who wants to make a scene?"

Yang's mom said calmly, "It's up to you whether you make a big deal or not."

Knowing from Yang Xiaoyan that her son has been trampled into a homosexual, Yang's mom is furious, but she also finds a good plan to help Yang Xiaoyan out.

In Yang's mother's opinion, rich people want to face, face is life, face is as big as a mountain, with a man to talk about friends to get married, is to be poked by the neighbors and relatives to poke spine poke a lifetime of things.

So she was determined to win.

Cheng Yuan She has seen a lot of brats of this age, looking heavenly, but all of them are soft melon goons who do not go through anything, and they can piss in their pants when they are scared.

See Chi Xiaochi does not answer, only stifled contemplation, she multiplied, "You are a singer, your family is a business, if the reputation is bad ......"

Chi Xiaochi put her chopsticks down and quietly looked straight at Yang's mom, "If my reputation is bad, I can go abroad to study at a music academy; if my family's reputation is bad, there's business abroad; if my reputation among my relatives is bad, we'll be on different sides of the world, big deal, we won't contact each other."

At this point, his lips quirked, "But where can you go with your bad reputation?"

Yang Baihua's scalp went numb and he looked at Chi Xiaochi incredulously.

Chi Xiaochi leaned back with a smile on her face, "I didn't make this base alone, the military medal is half mine and half yours. The big deal is that everyone's reputation is ruined together, fair and reasonable."

Yang Ma did not expect Chi Xiaochi to actually pressure her not to answer her, but also turn around and threaten herself, the veins are rising out.

Yang Baihua grimaced, "Cheng Yuan, my mom is in a hurry and old, don't threaten her."

"I'm in a hurry too." Chi Xiaochi spread her hands, "But even if you're in a hurry, you have to hide your tail before you go out. I see that Auntie cares so much about her reputation, so of course I have to help her think about it. In case your 'good reputation' spreads, I don't know if there are still any girls who are willing to carry on your family's legacy?"

The words "to carry on the family line" hit Yang's mom right on the head.

Yang's mom almost jumped up and cursed through gritted teeth, "Death to AIDS!" Those three words were already considered civilized, and what followed was what Chi Xiaochi refused to describe.

All in all, a ten-pack of nutrients.

But she had only cursed twice before she realized that there was silence all around her.

Everyone was shocked to look at her, looking at her so that her face burned and her ears were hot, the ten percent of the power that could have been exerted was hardened and held back, and the geometry of the internal injuries could be imagined.

Chi Xiaochi didn't move like a mountain: "Auntie, you can't say that about Yang Baihua."

He rested one arm on the dining table and said, "And, Yang Baihua, you just said 'threatening'. You're mistaken. It wasn't a threat just now, it's now."

He stared at Yang's mom and smiled, "I know the address of your village. When I bought nutritional supplements for you guys last year, I was the one who went to mail them."

"If you dare to make trouble, I dare to say Yang Baihua Sexual Dysfunction, send out flyers, send banners, really can not, carve a monument tree in the entrance of your village is also possible. I don't care about this, I just don't know if you can accept it."
