MTL - I Only Like Your Character Settings-Chapter 89 dinner for four
"You..." Zhou Ziheng pressed Xia Xiqing's shoulder, too angry to speak.
"What me?" Xia Xiqing stretched his arms around his neck and smiled at him ambiguously.
Although Zhou Ziheng was annoyed, he couldn't get angry at Xia Xiqing, and was feeling uncomfortable when a familiar voice suddenly came from the stairs, "Zhou Ziheng?"
He tilted his head, and saw the gossip man standing beside the fish just now...
"Xu Qichen?"
When his name was called, Xu Qichen froze for a moment, "Yes, that's right." But the next second he saw Zhou Ziheng pressing Xia Xiqing under his body, he immediately raised his hand to cover his eyes, "Then what... I'll cook, cook." After he finished speaking, he dragged the elbows of the people around him into the kitchen, "I promise we'll go."
Zhou Ziheng was completely dumbfounded now, and turned to look at Xia Xiqing in a daze. Xia Xiqing raised an eyebrow at him, "You don't really think that I have an affair with Xu Qichen, do you?"
"...Of course not." Although Zhou Ziheng was confused, this point was still very clear.
Xia Xiqing went up to him and kissed him, "It's not too bad."
"So who is that man?" Zhou Ziheng still had a thorn in his heart, Xia Xiqing looked like a child whose toy had been robbed.
Xia Xiqing pushed Zhou Ziheng's chest up, took him by the hand and led him to the kitchen, "Here, see for yourself."
Zhou Ziheng suppressed his breath and followed his gaze. In the kitchen, Xu Qichen lowered his head and was cutting fish. The young man just washed his hands and threw the water on Xu Qichen's face, causing him to turn around sullenly. , but was kissed.
"This is Xu Qichen's boyfriend?" Zhou Ziheng suddenly understood.
Xia Xiqing whispered, "Not only that, it's also mine..."
Zhou Ziheng's anger, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, flared up again, "Your?!"
"My eldest nephew." Xia Xi gave him an innocent look, "This is my nephew who studies IT, Xia Zhixu, I remember I told you."
There was too much information, Zhou Ziheng couldn't accept it for a while, and pointed at Xia Zhixu's back in a daze, "How old is he..."
"Older than you, he is twenty-five."
What?
Zhou Ziheng immediately stretched out two hands and pulled Xia Xiqing's face, "How old are you? Are you lying to me? You are not only twenty-five years old?" He quickly let go of his hands and covered his ears, "God, don't tell me you're thirty-five, I don't want to hear..."
Xia Xiqing stared at Zhou Ziheng helplessly.
How could he fall in love with such a fool.
"I'm eighty-five, do you believe it?"
"Do not believe."
Okay, not too stupid to be saved.
Xia Xiqing dragged him to the living room, "My grandfather gave birth to ten children, Xia Yunkai was the youngest one, and Xia Zhixu's grandfather was the oldest child of my grandfather, so Xia Yunkai and his grandfather are actually of the same generation Yes, it’s his uncle, and I’m his little uncle. Although we’re the same age, there’s a big difference in generation.”
Zhou Ziheng, who finally sorted out the relationship between the characters, nodded in confusion, "It's so miserable."
"Are you talking about Xia Zhixu? That's right, he's miserable. I'll forget it. He still has to be called Xia Xiuze's uncle."
Xia Xiqing thought of something, and suddenly laughed, "I remember when I was about ten years old? Every family gathered together during the Chinese New Year. At that time, Xia Xiuze was just born not long ago. He looked less than a year old. He was still a baby, holding With a red envelope, those grown-ups have to force Xia Zhixu to call a baby Uncle during the New Year, otherwise they won’t give the red envelope hahaha.”
Zhou Ziheng imagined that scene for a while, and his heart was suddenly filled with affection for Xia Zhixu.
He left Xia Xiqing and went to the kitchen, cleared his throat and patted Xia Zhixu on the shoulder. Xia Zhixu turned his head, saw Zhou Ziheng and thought he was going to hit him, "Wait a minute, listen to me first..."
"sorry."
Xia Zhi was blindfolded immediately, turned to look at Xu Qichen, and Xu Qichen also looked at him blindly.
"Just now I misunderstood you indiscriminately, and thought you had some improper relationship with Xia Xiqing." Zhou Ziheng lowered his head and half bowed his waist, "It's really embarrassing to make such a big joke when we first met " After finishing speaking, he stretched out a hand, "I am Xia Xiqing's boyfriend, and my name is Zhou Ziheng."
Xia Xiqing is He De and how can he pick up such an angel...Xia Zhixu held Zhou Ziheng's hand in fear, "It's okay, I don't mind, anyway, this is not the first time this kind of thing happened... Ah no, I mean Yes..." Xia Zhixu suddenly cleared his throat, and asked in a low voice, "You said you are a decent person, what's wrong with Xia Xiqing's..."
"What are you talking about!"
Before the bad words were finished, Xia Xiqing who walked to the door of the kitchen caught him straight, "Let go, don't grab our Hengheng's hand." After finishing speaking, he dragged Zhou Ziheng out, "Stop talking to me Nephew talk, he is not a good person."
According to this, are there any good people in the Xia family, Zhou Ziheng thought to himself.
During the meal, the four of them sat around the table. Xia Zhixu was afraid that Zhou Ziheng might have misunderstood, so he explained clearly what happened at the party last night, "Yesterday was my grandpa's 90th birthday, and he went with him too. , neither of us wanted to stay any longer last night, so we found an excuse to slip away, maybe it was photographed by the reporter at that time, don't get me wrong, Xia Xiqing just likes to play tricks on people, don't take it seriously."
Zhou Ziheng nodded with a clear understanding of the righteousness, "Yes."
"Hmm, what, um." Xia Xiqing clapped his chopsticks, causing Xu Qichen to tremble in fright, "Xia knows what you mean, just say it, and you have to step on me secretly, thinking I can't hear it?"
Xu Qichen patted his back, "Calm down, calm down." Unexpectedly, the next second, Xia Zhixu, who was sitting on Xu Qichen's left, pulled his arm back, "Don't touch him."
Seeing this scene, Zhou Ziheng suddenly felt that he had found a companion.
"What's wrong with touching me, just touch." Xia Xiqing grabbed Xu Qichen's hand and pulled it to his chest, "You grew up jealous."
Xia Zhixu clapped his chopsticks, "I really grew up jealous, do you have any objections after eating for ten years?"
"You deserve it if you have been eating for ten years, who made you cowardly."
"Don't be cowardly if you have the guts, I'll show you all the bottom in a while and I'll see if you are cowardly or not."
"You try? See if I don't kill you."
Zhou Ziheng silently extended his hand to Xia Xiqing's hand that was holding Xu Qichen, and opened his fingers one by one. Xu Qichen escaped smoothly, and returned Zhou Ziheng with a grateful smile, "That's how they are. When we get together, we have to fight every minute."
Zhou Ziheng also forced a smile, and gave Xu Qichen a spoonful of tuna salad, "It's okay, let's eat in peace."
Unexpectedly, Xia Xiqing, who was in the middle of the battle, suddenly shifted his attention, "Why don't you pick food for him, why don't you pick it for me?"
Zhou Ziheng immediately reacted, put a piece of sashimi in his bowl, and was overjoyed, "Eat, eat, eat more."
Only then did Xia Xiqing have a satisfied expression on his face, and he didn't bother to argue with Xia Zhixu when he was happy. In order to change the subject as quickly as possible, Zhou Ziheng chatted with Xia Zhixu, "Nephew."
One second hit the minefield.
"Who are you calling nephew?" Xia Zhixu had a kind smile on his face.
"No, I'm Xi Qing's boyfriend. In terms of seniority..." Zhou Ziheng looked at him with a smile, "Isn't even Ozawa your uncle?"
Hit the minefield again.
"..."
Xu Qichen couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately took turns serving food to the remaining three people. The bowls were piled full, "Let's eat and eat, we can talk about anything after dinner."
Xia Xiqing took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the dishes on the table.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Ziheng asked when he saw him lower his head and fiddle with his phone after taking the photo.
After Xia Xiqing finished typing, he raised his head and ate a slice of sashimi, "Send Weibo to clarify."
Xia Zhixu also breathed a sigh of relief, "You finally clarified. My company group exploded this morning, everyone was gossiping, and some people even said that you are the object of my crush for ten years. Ghost ah, I've had 25 years of revenge, okay?"
Xu Qichen leaned on the back of his chair and laughed, "Netizens will definitely say that Xia Xiqing is a specialist in fake melons, and all the melons coming out of him are fake hahaha."
Zhou Ziheng carefully scanned the homepage twice, and finally found the one posted by Xia Xiqing.
[@Tsing_Summer: Let's go, the boy photographed is my nephew in seniority, an outsider, and has a partner. We are attending a family gathering together, the paparazzi are so free every day, why don’t they just interview me directly, it’s so boring to take sneak shots. ]
On the cusp of the storm, Xia Xiqing once again clarified on Weibo, and was soon topped the hot list by netizens who eat melons.
[@小鱼吃大鱼: As expected of a painter who is even more top-notch than top traffic…]
[@一个通过的猫米: Xia Xiqing is so good, my God! ]
[@我是小天使: I am the only one who cares about seniority? Xia Xiqing and this boy seem to be the same age. But if you take a closer look, the eyebrows and eyes are really similar. ]
[@12345 Going up the mountain to fight tigers: I was happy to see the clarification, but it turned out that I had a partner. It was a critical blow. The little brother is completely sniping with my orientation. ]
[@我的爱情是小画画: Family gatherings are also photographed by paparazzi. They are not considered celebrities and are followed by paparazzi every day. I feel sorry for our brother Xi Qing. ]
[@我上的自学习天下第一:What the **** is sitting up in shock from a dying illness! The mood of self-study girls is a roller coaster every day. ]
[@蜜糖不甜: I also think it’s a bit fake to be so handsome together, maybe Xia Xiqing’s boyfriend is a greasy middle-aged man. ]
[@Who Said I Was Xiao Gongju: Are they really not lovers? ? But she looks good enough to eat a wave of orthopedics [does it count as orthopedics? ]
Zhou Ziheng felt very frustrated that he didn't have his name in the comment area.
"Why are you drooping?" Xia Xiqing glanced at Zhou Ziheng, and found it funny to see him dying.
Xu Qichen smiled sharply, "Ziheng must think that no one talks about him in the comment section, he has no sense of existence, right?"
Zhou Ziheng hesitated to speak, Xia Zhixu said calmly, "Think about it, your fans will of course shut down to avoid suspicion at this time. Originally, Xia Xiqing was on the cusp, and even CP fans dare not mention your name casually." , or you will be pinched by Weifan."
"How do you know the fan circle so well?" Zhou Ziheng suddenly grasped the point.
"This..." Xia Zhixu laughed twice, "What about me, my company has developed a role-playing game, which also has plots like the entertainment industry, and I also played a popular actor when I was evaluating it .” He patted Zhou Ziheng on the shoulder, “Brother, I understand you.”
Only Zhou Ziheng showed a grateful smile. Xu Qichen was poked into the unbearable black history, and he ate with his red ears and bowed his head. Xia Xi jumped back and forth on the edge of danger, "Tsk tsk, evaluation? Let me play too." Let's play."
"you shut up."
At the end of the meal, Xia Zhixu and Zhou Ziheng suddenly became brothers. The two met to wash the dishes together, and let Xia Xiqing and Xu Qichen play games in the living room.
Zhou Ziheng soaked the bowl into the sink, "By the way, you are in IT, are you starting your own business?"
"Well. I mainly develop VR and AR games. Do you like playing games? I'll send you some of our products later?"
"Okay." Zhou Ziheng thought to himself, he must be a talented student to start a business not long after graduation, "Which school did you graduate from?" He suddenly thought, "We shouldn't be alumni."
"Which school are you from?"
Zhou Ziheng washed a plate and put it on the countertop, "The School of Physics, University of P, is graduating soon."
"What a coincidence."
Hearing what Xia Zhixu said, Zhou Ziheng raised his head in surprise, "Alumni?"
"I'm from T University diagonally across from your school, School of Information, Department of Computer Science." Xia Zhixu stretched out his frothy hand and shook Zhou Ziheng's frothy hand, "Students of science and engineering are like a family."
"You're Colonel T, right? I think you look familiar. I feel like I've seen you on the hot search before." Zhou Ziheng frowned and thought for a while, "It seems to be during the inter-school English debate competition, yes, then I When I was a freshman, the school even released the video of you playing against our school's debate team."
"...Maybe?" Xia Zhixu, who has been a college student all the way to university, doesn't know whether to admit it or not, "Anyway, I'm not sure if I am a school student, but you must be a school student at P University."
"No no."
"Don't be humble, who else is not you."
"No, there are quite a lot of good-looking boys in our school."
"Come on, can your school have more boys than our school?"
Xia Xiqing and Xu Qichen who were sitting in the living room looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. This business bragging is really enough.
"I just heard you have a crush on it," Zhou Ziheng asked, "So you have a crush on Xu Qichen?"
"Yes. I liked him from the beginning. It's a long story. Anyway, I'm miserable."
When Zhou Ziheng heard this, he immediately became dissatisfied, "You must not be as miserable as I am, but I am."
Xia Zhixu immediately put on the stance of the competition: "I'm miserable. I liked Xu Qichen from the first time I met him, but we only got together this spring."
"It's still miserable for me. I was deceived to death by Xia Xiqing, and I dare not say that I like him."
"I don't dare either. Don't look at Chen Chen being obedient and soft now. When we first met, he ignored me."
"Then you are friends when you are not together." Zhou Ziheng said sadly, "I am not friends with him, Xia Xiqing just treats me as a friend with sex..."
"...It's still miserable for me, at least you took advantage of it first, and made up for a ticket."
"I'm miserable. I can't play Xia Xiqing at all. Every day I'm afraid that he will just kick me like this. Xu Qichen will never do such a thing."
"You just need a title, okay, I've been in a crush for ten years and haven't even held hands. The first time it was in the game..."
Zhou Ziheng stared at Xia Zhixu with wide eyes.
This buddy has been holding back for ten years? So much perseverance.
"That's still miserable for you." Zhou Ziheng patted Xia Zhixu on the shoulder without wiping his hands, "I'm willing to bow down."
After sitting in the living room and listening to the competition, Xu Qichen suddenly turned to look at Xia Xiqing with an aggrieved face, "I've also been in love with him for ten years, why is he alone?"
Xia Xiqing immediately patted Xu Qichen on the back like coaxing a child, "Okay, okay, Chenchen is also miserable."
I am the only one who is not miserable.
Before leaving, Xia Zhixu and Zhou Ziheng looked at each other with tears in their eyes, holding hands in sympathy, just like looking for a long-lost brother in this life, Xia Xiqing leaned against the door frame and kicked Xia Zhixu out, "Get out of here!" " Then he stuffed the small cakes and snacks in Xu Qichen's hands with a gentle face, "Chenchen, I saved your game for you, come and play next time."
"Um!"
The door closed, Zhou Ziheng felt lost, Xia Xiqing pinched his face, "What are you doing? You like my little nephew so much."
"No, I just think he's so pitiful."
Xia Xiqing pinched his face viciously, "You can only have overwhelming sympathy for me."
Zhou Ziheng suddenly smiled, stretched out his arms to hug Xia Xiqing, kissed and kissed, "You have become more and more cute recently."
"Don't make trouble." Xia Xiqing broke away his hands holding his face, "I have something serious to tell you. First of all, I want to explain that I didn't even know that I was photographed by paparazzi at first, and my phone didn't work in the morning. Turn off the electricity, and recharge it when you get home." He tilted his head and looked into Zhou Ziheng's eyes, his eyes were rare and sincere, "I only realized it when you rushed in today and lost your temper, and I followed your words later, It was to tease you on purpose, now you know how uncomfortable it is to make you jealous on purpose."
Knowing that Xia Xiqing was talking about the last time he used Song Nian, Zhou Ziheng couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
"Also, you were so angry when you came in today. In the final analysis, you still don't believe me in your heart. If it were someone else and you were misunderstood by your significant other, you would definitely feel wronged and sad." Xia Xiqing pretended to be relaxed He smiled calmly, "I can't help it, who made me have a lot of criminal records, it's normal for you to think so, and I understand that you will be angry because you care about me, and you will lose your basic sense because you care too much about me." Thinking ability."
Hearing what Xia Xiqing said, Zhou Ziheng felt a little sad, not because of himself, but because of Xia Xiqing. He indeed lost his temper when he saw the picture, thinking that Xia Xiqing must have done something. His lips moved, and when he was about to say something, Xia Xiqing raised his head and kissed him.
"Don't apologize to me. You didn't do anything wrong. I didn't feel sad because you were jealous and angry. On the contrary, I was very happy. I told you because I know you care about me." He touched Zhou Ziheng's frown and smiled Frankly, "I said this because I hope you can trust me more in the future, and trust yourself more."
Zhou Ziheng stared at him blankly, speechless for a long time.
After saying this, Xia Xiqing resumed his old smirk, "Next time if you do this again, the probationary period will end."
"No!" Zhou Ziheng hugged Xia Xiqing in a moment of desperation, and wrapped his arms around him tightly. He almost forgot about the probationary period, and Xia Xiqing felt like he was dying when he mentioned it.
"Loosen, let go...cough cough, I'm going to be hugged to death by you..."
"No returns allowed."
"It depends on your performance."
As soon as Zhou Ziheng let go, Xia Xiqing took the opportunity to sneak into the living room, crossed his legs and picked up the handle to play the game he hadn't finished just now. Zhou Ziheng's phone vibrated, and he took it out to see that it was a message from Zhao Ke.
[@科子: Have you read Weibo, bro! ! Xia Xiqing's Weibo! ]
[@恒heng: I saw it, isn’t it just a clarification? ]
[@科子: It's a comment! I'll take a screenshot for you! ]
[@科子: Forget it, go and see for yourself! you must look! ]
baffling.
Zhou Ziheng turned to the Weibo interface, and clicked on the Weibo posted by Xia Xiqing just now. The number one most popular comment was different from before.
[@Who Said I Was Xiao Gongju: Are they really not lovers? ? But she looks good enough to eat a wave of orthopedics [does it count as orthopedics? ]
The reason she was promoted was because Xia Xiqing replied.
[@Tsing_Summer: My boyfriend is much more handsome than him. ]
