Early the next morning, Qiao Wen sat on his bed, his ears listening to the early and busy sounds of the alley outside the window, while his eyes looked at the person beside him who was still sleeping senselessly.
His face was still drowsy, and his beautiful eyebrows, slightly furrowed, were a meditative look.
After Chen Canaan went to the toilet last night, he quickly fell asleep, so much so that he didn't even know when the other party came back, it felt like it should have been a long time later. Of course, this was not important, what was important was that if he was not mistaken, last night when he was sleeping in a daze, this guy seemed to have kissed him on the lips.
The two children had grown up close, and he had worn in for most of the year, and the two were still the same. So close that they would even unconsciously hug each other after falling asleep, and when Chen Canaan was happy, he would occasionally give him a kiss on the forehead. But this is all pure intimacy without any distractions.
He also tried to convince himself that the light kisses that had landed on his lips last night while he was half asleep were no different than these intimacies.
But he was not an uninitiated child, and understood the subtle difference. Especially when he carefully recalled Chen Canaan's demeanor during this period of time, the actions that he did not take to heart at that time, now in retrospect, it seemed that it was indeed a bit unusual.
For example, the guy rarely came down to rub his bed soon after he got back from Vietnam.
Another example is the occasional visit to rub the bed, but also with his back to himself, compared to the old days when he used to pester himself on all fours from time to time.
Also, he had somehow sworn in general several times before that he would never bully himself.
Qiao Wen rubbed his forehead with a bit of a headache, the more he thought back the more clues he found, it was better than not knowing anything at all. In fact, leaving aside the influence of the original body's memories, he had always been clear that he also liked Chen Canaan, as for what kind of liking this liking was, he hadn't thought about it and didn't think it mattered much.
But if you must choose someone to spend your life with in this otherworldly world, Chen Canaan is undoubtedly the only candidate.
Questions that he hadn't thought about before, now that he knew what Chen Canaan had in mind for him, he had to start thinking about it.
In any case, being loved was something to be happy about, just like in the past, when he knew Lin Nan's feelings for him, he had always been grateful.
However, the question is, who exactly does Chen Canaan love?
Is it the same Jovian he grew up with, or is it himself who occupies this skin?
If he knew that Qiaowen, who had been protected by himself for more than ten years, had long since disappeared from this world and had been replaced by another person, what would he think?
Qiao Wen had always been calm and collected, even when his life was on the line, he could still maintain rational thinking. However, at this moment, he encountered judgment and confusion that he was unable to make for the first time in his two lifetimes.
He let out a long, frustrated sigh.
Just as he was sighing, Chen Canaan slowly woke up, opened his eyes, saw Qiao Wen's pair of eyes staring fixedly at himself, and didn't know what to think of, suddenly sat up violently as if he had a weak heart, and moved a little bit out quickly, and the whole person almost fell off the bed.
"Watch out!" Jovian pulled him back just in time.
Chen Canaan stabilized his body, cleared his throat, and said lustfully, "Why didn't you call me when you woke up?"
Jovian laughed, "You were sleeping like a pig, didn't want to wake you up."
Chen Canaan rubbed his messy hair and said, "I was too excited last night, and it took me half a day to fall asleep."
Jovian looked at him and smiled with an indistinguishable color.
Chen Canaan always felt that this smile is a bit odd, but can not say where it is odd, only feel inexplicably a little bit weak, the brain can not help but think of the bad things that he did last night.
So, he couldn t help but be a thief like a thief, quietly look at Qiao Wen a glance, two eyes, three eyes ...... but no matter how many eyes, Qiao Wen always has a face of lighthearted indifference, obviously does not look like he has already found out that he had done bad things last night.
He breathed a little sigh of relief just as Granny got up and went out, and seeing the two sitting on the bed, she said, "I'll cook breakfast, and you two take your time getting up and brushing your teeth and washing up."
"Okay, granny." Chen Canaan was the first to get out of bed, ran to the balcony and carried two large buckets out, and said to Qiao Wen, "I'll go fetch water and bring you up a portion of fish eggs."
Granny Joe from the balcony said, "Ouch, I'm cooking breakfast, don't spend your money."
Qiao Wen laughed, "Granny, Nan and I don't lack money now, so this amount of money doesn't need to hurt."
"That's right." Chen Canaan concurred, winking at him again, carrying two buckets and going out the door with light footsteps.
Qiao Wen looked at his figure disappearing in the doorway, searched in his original body's memory, and Chen Canaan's appearance at the age of ten or eight appeared in his mind, and at that time, the little pretty Nan had already often helped the Qiao family, which only had grandchildren, to fetch water, so small that he wasn't even much taller than a bucket.
Although he himself wasn't the Jovian of that time, Jovian couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile when he thought back to this image.
Because he wasn't yet sure how he was going to face Chen Canaan's deteriorating feelings, in fact, Qiao Wen believed that Chen Canaan himself wasn't too sure how he was going to face it either. So he could only act as if nothing had happened, just like the other party.
Tomorrow will start, this first month is not much idle, the last day of vacation, Qiao Wen decided to take a good rest at home, as for Chen Canaan, was called away by the minions after dinner, began a new year of debt collection work.
After reading newspapers and books at home until evening, Qiao Wen decided to go for a walk to move his muscles. Wandering around, he arrived at a herbal tea stall, he casually bought a cup, and was sitting in front of the door, enjoying the pitiful sunset, when he suddenly glimpsed Qin Yunfei standing right next to him at the door of the disco store.
His cane was set aside and he had a cigarette in his mouth, gulping it down as he spoke in a low voice to a man next to him.
Qiao Wen had a good memory, so he also recognized this fresh-faced man almost immediately, where had he seen him before? It was exactly one of the people in the group of Long Sister-in-law's beef mongrels that day.
As he looked over, Qin Yunfei happened to meet his gaze as well, and as the four eyes met, the corner of the other party's mouth tugged down, revealing a meaningful look.
Qiao Wen didn't have much heart at this time to care about this expression of his, whether or not he was having nasty thoughts about himself, because seeing these two together, alarm bells went off in his head.
This shows that the group probably did not just land in the Walled City, but were involved with the Wo Hing Society.
At the same time, the man beside Qin Yunfei, also noticed Qiao Wen, his eyes couldn't help but light up, obviously interested in Qiao Wen or his skin, then revealed an impish smile and lowered his head to Qin Yunfei's ear, "Can you get this for me tonight?"
His voice wasn't loud, but Qiao Wen wasn't deaf, but with a distance of three or four meters, he naturally heard everything. He even suspected that this person was deliberately letting him hear it.
His face sank, revealing an undisguised disgust, as it was really repulsive to the man who coveted his skin. For one thing, he was a man himself, and for another, it made him realize how hard it had been for Xiao Qiao, who had no ability to defend himself in the past, and was fortunate to have a Chen Canaan by his side to protect him all the time.
He took a sip of his herbal tea, stood up and turned to leave, but the man made a move to come forward and stop him.
"What time is it? Still thinking about this kind of shit?" It was Qin Yunfei's voice.
"Don't, it's not a big deal."
"You are guests, you probably don't know the rules of our city fortress, none of us from the Wo Xing Society can just touch the people here."
"You also said it's your Wo Xing Society, and I'm not a member of your society, so it's not under your control who you want to move, right?"
"I'd advise you not to make a scene like this, he's not for you to move."
"What? Scare me?"
"Joking aside, Master Tang and Master Leopard have already been furious after you guys secretly killed that gang of Chiu Chow boys earlier, why don't you go ask your Master Tang first and see if you can move?"
The man grunted coldly and said no more.
Qiao Wen, who had already walked out a dozen meters away and hadn't turned around, had actually heard the two men's whispered conversation the entire time and couldn't help but frown.
Hehe, really the sun came out of the west, Qin Yunfei actually relieved him.
He silently shook his head, but did not take this to heart, but only wondered what these people were trying to do by working in tandem with the Wo Xing Society.
