The word was simple and vague, and it was separated by a door, and it was even a little indistinguishable in timbre, but it still made Chu Si's back straighten in an instant, and his face changed suddenly.
He stood motionless, and for a moment he couldn't even hear any other sounds, and the nerves around him seemed to come alive and peeked out of his body through the door, so that the slightest movement could make his body stiffer.
Footsteps suddenly appeared in the room, as if someone was walking away from the door with slippers.
The door lock that rang didn't move, perhaps because the person inside the door had changed their minds without hearing the sound.
Sometimes a person is so familiar that it is possible to tell from a few simple steps that it is him or not.
At the moment when the footsteps were about to move away, Chu Si subconsciously opened his mouth and replied, "I." ” The voice was muffled and hoarse because of its dazedness and stiffness, rolling at the bottom of his throat, so low that even he couldn't hear it clearly.
It's just that as soon as he spoke, he laughed self-deprecatingly, "I" This simple answer is only suitable for the closest people, and the other party will know who it is as soon as he hears it, otherwise it will only increase the embarrassment.
But who is he now, for the people in the door, he is just a strange voice, a strange face, a stranger who doesn't know each other, where is he qualified to answer like this.
It must have looked stupid, and Chu Si laughed at himself in his heart.
But stupid, he is not worried that he will be turned away, after all, the person in the door is quite good-tempered, when a neighbor's fingerprint lock failed and he couldn't return home for a while, he also let people in, and it seems that he has stayed for a long time.
Although he still hasn't figured out why Jiang Qi, as a person who has been in the chaos of war, is so defenseless.
The footsteps paused for a moment, then suddenly became clearer, sounding like they were walking back to the door.
"You're nervous."
Saeyang suddenly leaned into Chuss's ear and whispered, as if he was whispering something.
"Nope."
Chus replied.
However, it wasn't until he said this sentence that he realized that he had actually been holding his breath, and the hand hanging by his side was unconsciously clenched into a fist.
Saeyan was right, he was nervous, and he didn't even notice it.
The lock made a soft noise from inside again, and this time it didn't stop abruptly.
The metal door shaft turned slightly, and the door was opened.
The man in the door was dressed in the simplest shirt and trousers, the neckline was casually open, one sleeve was folded to the elbow, the other was just halfway up.
He was a mixture of military sharpness, researcher's bookish air, and a slight and relaxed tiredness.
Chiang Although he had already guessed in his heart just now and made mental preparations for a while, Chu Si still froze at the door when he saw him, showing an expression that was almost dazed.
He suddenly didn't know what year he was in.
Familiar clothes, familiar faces, everything has not changed at all, as if Jiang Qi just had a long business trip, and after finishing things, he cleaned up at will, and simply went home.
"You are" In the door, Jiang Qi's gaze came, and through the time of unknown years, it fell on Chu Si.
The moment he heard Jiang Qi speak, the bones on the side of Chu Si's face moved, and it seemed that he had subconsciously gritted his teeth.
He frowned, lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers, waiting for the heat around his eyes to subside before raising his head again.
Jiang Qi was slightly stunned and asked, "What's the matter?"
This tone was too familiar, so familiar that Chu Si was stunned for a moment before coughing at the bottom of his throat, clearing his throat and saying: "We live upstairs, and the fingerprint lock is out of order and we can't enter the door temporarily, can" At this time, Chus no longer had the extra focus to think of new excuses, and the only thing that came to mind was the words of the two neighbors.
After he finished speaking, he regretted it a little, and he didn't know if the same reason would sound a little suspicious to Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi didn't respond immediately, but just looked him up and down again, and finally his gaze fell back to his eyebrows, as if to confirm whether they were kind or not.
He glanced at Sa'eyang by the door again, and finally turned sideways to get out of the way, and smiled: "The underground energy pool is out of order, and the property is already being repaired, let's come in first." ” There are two softly lit emergency lights in the room, one in the corner of the sofa and the other in the hallway.
When standing in this apartment again, Chuss had a very mixed feeling, a contradictory feeling of subconscious relaxation and rational restraint.
Saeyang followed him through the door, showing great interest in the place, and he glanced at the general layout and layout of the room, then patted Chus on the shoulder, leaned over and whispered, "Honey." ” "Hmm" Chu Si's gaze kept following Jiang Qi's back, and he didn't even react to what Saeyang was talking about.
It took another two seconds for him to glance at Sa'eyang in hindsight: "" "There are only two people living here," Saeyang continued.
Chu Si could only respond angrily: "Hmm." ” Jiang Qi folded the other sleeve and asked, "What to drink?"
"Water is fine, thank you."
Chus tried to make himself and Sa'eyang look like normal neighbors.
"Come and sit."
Jiang Qi took two glasses of water and walked over and put them on the glass table, and then walked around to the two-seater sofa and bent down.
Chus entered the room and barely paid attention to anything else, only then did he realize that a child was nestled on the two-seater's couch.
He looked less than ten years old, wearing a light gray long-sleeved home shirt, and his curled up posture made his shoulder and back bones protrude, and he looked thin.
He buried his face in the pillow, his arms covered his forehead, and he couldn't see his facial features, only his hair was jet black, and his skin was extraordinarily white.
"So, that little thing that sleeps in a ball is," Saeyang asked again knowingly.

Chus turned his head to look at him: "" Saeyang looked back at him with an innocent expression.
Chu Si was afraid that Jiang Qi would hear it, so he said with a frozen face: "Do I have to thank you for not using the word "little fool?"
Saeyang laughed, his pale eyes lit up when they were bent.
Jiang Qi tried to pick up the curled child, but the child buried his face deeper with a pillow and said something vaguely.
"If you put the bed and don't sleep, you love the sofa, you kid" Jiang Qi didn't insist, just raised his hand and probed the child's forehead, muttering, "Are you sick?"
The boy shook his head with his face buried, and finally said a clear word, "Sleepy."
"The voice hasn't changed, with the characteristic softness of a child.
"Okay" Jiang Qi straightened up a little helplessly, turned his head and smiled at Chu Si and Sa'e Yang, "My son, when you fall asleep, you won't be happy to move your nest anymore, see you laugh." ” Sa'e Yang smiled and said lazily, "It's okay, it's interesting." ” Chuss: "" He is probably the most embarrassing person in this apartment, Jiang Qi and Sa'er Yang are so every word, every sentence is piercing his face, and the little emotion he has seen when he sees his old friend is washed away, and there is nothing left.
Jiang Qi seemed to have just arrived home at that time, and he motioned for Chu Si and Saeyang to sit on the sofa for a while, and said, "I'll go get a blanket for this kid." ” Saeyang didn't mean anything polite, and directly chose a position close to the two-seater sofa and sat down.
Jiang Qizhuo pulled his slippers and walked into the bedroom, Chu Si glanced at his back, turned his head to look at Sa'e Yang, and showed a slightly warning look.
However, as long as there was that miniature version of the crouch next to it sleeping in the dark, all warnings would be greatly diminished.
Sure enough, Sa'e Yang smiled meaningfully.
Chuss: "" But honestly, in this situation, no matter what the bastard did or said, Chus would not be impatient or angry.
"You look happy."
Saeyang squinted at him, "Even a little excited, but not relaxed." ” I have to say that this person is sometimes as sharp as a beast, and can sniff out the slightest emotional changes Chu Si was indeed happy because he had once again seen Jiang Qi, the only one who could be called a family member, and he really did not relax, because he knew that all this was temporary.
"You're such a weirdo."
Chus snorted and sat down next to him.
The sense of smell for emotions is so keen, but the empathy is surprisingly indifferent.
The voices of the two men were not high, but the child curled up on the sofa moved.
He lifted his eyes from the pillow and looked at them with a frowning eyebrow.
There was still a tiredness in his eyes, and he didn't seem to be fully awake.
That kind of look was neither soft nor soft, and Sa'e Yang didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he actually waved his finger at him, laughed and whispered funny: "Hello, little sir." ” Chuss: "" The child's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly on the sofa, as if he thought the man was ill, his squinted eyes quickly closed, and he buried his head in the pillow again.
"The habit of looking for something to bury my face when I go to sleep turns out to be developed from this time."
Saeyang said.
Chus opened his mouth and was about to choke back, but suddenly remembered something.
In his memory, he vaguely remembered that two neighbors were put into the door by Jiang Qi because of the failure of the fingerprint lock.
On that day, Jiang was scheduled to go to other places to hold an academic research conference, which lasted about three days.
He suddenly had a headache while reading on the sofa, and he didn't bother to go back to the bedroom because there was no one at home, so he curled up on the sofa.
As a result, when he was groggy from pain, Jiang Qi came back because he forgot to bring something.
Because of the headache, his memory of that night was a little vague and incoherent, except that when he opened his eyes again, there seemed to be two more people on the couch.
He didn't even see what the other party looked like young or old, only vaguely remembered that the man had said a word to him, calling him a sir or something.
He had thought that the scene behind him was the result of mixing dreams with reality, after all, it was impossible for anyone to shout at a child, and now it seemed that the two neighbors he had always left a slight impression on were Saeyang and himself.
But if what is happening at this moment is what he remembers, then "I know what I'm looking for."
Chus looked at Sa'eyang.
"Tell me about it."
Saeyang straightened his long legs and changed to a more comfortable position.
Chus lowered his voice and said, "A draft." ” As far back as he remembers, an important research draft of Jiang Chiang was lost after the two neighbors left
