12. Chapter 12(1/2)
After she asked, Qi Muyang suddenly became quiet. Chu Qing skillfully used the book as a defense. Sure enough, he exploded in the next second: "Do you have any education? Have you ever seen anyone who uses these two words to name his own child?!"
Chu Qing chuckled: "I thought the style close to nature is now popular..." Seeing that he was really annoyed, she quickly diverted his attention, "Well, I really didn't mean it. Write your name and I will guarantee that I won't be wrong again after I remember it."
Qi Muyang was a little annoyed, but when he saw that her attitude was quite sincere, he sat down and brushed two strokes coldly, and his name appeared on the test paper unrestrainedly.
"Qi Muyang..." Chu Qing stared at the test paper and looked up at him curiously, "Is there any meaning?"
"Of course," Qi Muyang was most proud of his name, so he had such a big reaction because of her typo. "My mother's name has the meaning of sunshine, so my dad gave me this name."
Chu Qing repeated it thoughtfully twice and laughed: "Your dad is so romantic. You know you love your mom very much. Your mom must be very happy."
Qi Muyang was about to say yes, but suddenly he remembered that the half-sister next to him was a half-sister in front of him, and it might not be appropriate to talk about his parents' relationship. He coughed, vaguely said, "It's not bad," and sat down.
Chu Qing noticed his sudden silence and raised her eyebrows to ask him what was wrong. But before she could ask, she noticed that Qi Weichen in front of him seemed a little tight and her ears were red.
"What's wrong with you?" Chu Qing held it back, but couldn't help but poke him with a pen and ask.
Qi Weichen paused for a moment, looked back at her, and said hard: "I'm fine."
Chu Qing: "...It doesn't look like it's okay."
As soon as she finished speaking, the redness on Qi Weichen's ear seemed to be more obvious.
Chu Qing looked at him in confusion. She was about to ask questions when the bell rang in class. After a class precipitation, Qi Weichen had returned to normal and she forgot to ask again.
After the sudden cancellation of the opening ceremony, Qi Muyang was honest for a few days, but only a few days later, and then he started skipping classes and going to the Internet cafe.
It has been a week since school started, and Chengde High School has ushered in its first weekend. I can rest on time for two days a week. It is estimated that Chu Qing likes the place in 2042, except for the dormitory environment.
The last class on Friday ended, and everyone else in the class had left, leaving only Qi Muyang and Chu Qing with them. The treacherous ministers and others were discussing where to go. Qi Muyang sat lazily, waiting for them to come up with a conclusion. After a long discussion, he decided to go to the Internet cafe.
"Hey, are you going?" Qi Muyang looked at Chu Qing, "I'll treat you."
Chu Qing was moved for a second, and when she thought she had serious things, she shook her head: "I won't go, I'm looking for a part-time job." One thousand yuan is really not enough, and she is a person who doesn't want to save money. It's only a week, and it's been one third.
"What part-time job is you looking for? I'm not telling you that if your living expenses are not enough, I'll ask me for it." Qi Muyang said impatiently.
Chu Qing chuckled: "No."
"I didn't joke with you." Qi Muyang stared.
Chu Qing was speechless: "I didn't joke with you." Not to mention anything else, just his little money, he invited dinners all day long, probably not enough for a month, so why would she have the nerve to keep getting it?
Seeing that she insisted, Qi Muyang had to call others to leave, and the classroom became quiet in an instant. Chu Qing glanced at Qi Muyang's messy table and helped him sort it out before leaving.
The weather forecast shows that it was raining, and the air was particularly stuffy tonight. As soon as she came out of the classroom with air conditioning on, Chu Qing felt a layer of sticky sweat on her body, which was very uncomfortable. She came out too late, and everyone in the teaching building had left, and the lights in the corridor were also turned off. She could only use a little light from her mobile phone to walk down.
As she walked, she noticed someone following her, paused for a moment and continued to move forward without hesitation, but her pace was slower. When she was about to get downstairs, she suddenly turned around and fist, but someone gently grabbed her wrist.
"It's me." Qi Weichen spoke lightly in the darkness, and after that, he let her go.
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment: "Why haven't you returned to the dormitory yet?"
Qi Weichen said nothing, Chu Qing understood: "Are you waiting for me?"
Qi Weichen hadn't spoken for a long time in the darkness. When she was almost impatient, he responded softly.
"Is there anything wrong?" Chu Qing asked while walking downstairs. When she reached a place with street lights, the feeling of being peeked in the dark disappeared.
Qi Weichen followed her quietly and asked after a while: "Do you have something to do tomorrow?"
"What's wrong?" Chu Qing asked.
Qi Weichen paused: "Go out for dinner together."
Chu Qing stopped and looked at Qi Weichen's eyes thoughtfully. After looking at her for a moment, his fingertips slightly tense, but his expression was as calm as before: "What's wrong?"
"Why do you ask me?" Chu Qing frowned.
There was real confusion in her eyes, and there was no joy whenever she wanted to go out before. Qi Weichen lowered her eyes: "The school cafeteria only has a window to pour rice on the weekends. I don't like it, and I don't want to go out alone."
Chu Qing knew it: "That's it, but I have something to do tomorrow, so I can't go with you. You can find someone else or order takeaway."
Qi Weichen was quiet for a moment: "Yes."
Chu Qing nodded, and seeing that there was nothing to say, she turned around and headed towards her dormitory building. After walking a few steps, she heard him calling him: "Chu Qing."
"Hmm?" she turned around.
The moon was blocked by large clouds, and the street lights divided the world into two. Qi Weichen stood in a place with light and stared at her quietly. Until the doubts in her eyes became even more serious, his voice asked without any fluctuation: "Do you really like the meaning of Qi Muyang's name?"
"I like it, what's wrong?" Chu Qing didn't understand why he asked this, but after answering, she obviously felt a pleasant aura emitted from his body, and she became even more puzzled. However, without waiting for her to ask, Qi Weichen had already turned around and left.
Chu Qing: "..."
The next morning, Chu Qing took the part-time job information she collected and embarked on the road to finding a job. Although she had never worked before, she felt that she had a healthy and capable limbs, and she could find a part-time job that suited her.
With this optimistic thought, she began to look for part-time jobs one by one, but in the end, no place was asked for her. The reasons given were the same. The high school students had too little time and they didn't consider it.
She walked outside for a day and was exhausted and paralyzed, but she didn't get a job. The rain that had not rained all day finally fell while she was about to return to school.
Chu Qing stood alone at the bus stop sign to hide from the rain, her stomach was so hungry that she looked pitiful. Just as she was waiting for the bus, she suddenly heard someone calling her. She was stunned and looked up, and saw that the little fat man was waving to her at the entrance of the alley across the road.
"Master Chu! Here!"
Five minutes later, Chu Qing took the bucket noodles made by the fat man, thanked him and started eating. Qi Muyang, who was beside him, looked at her with disgust: "Like a starving ghost, can you eat slowly?"
"I haven't had a meal for a day..." Chu Qing muttered.
Qi Muyang paused, looked up and ordered the fat man: "Buy her two more grilled sausages."
"Okay!" The little fat man immediately ran to find the network administrator.
Chu Qing ate a bowl of instant noodles, and then slowly ate the newly-baked sausage, and while eating, he talked about finding a job today.
Qi Muyang couldn't sympathize with her at all, and even saw her embarrassed look a little irritated: "I said that I didn't have enough money to find me, who would you blame if you don't listen?"
"What's wrong with eating yours? I'll look for it again and I can always find a suitable job." Chu Qing said indifferently.
Seeing that she was stubborn, Qi Muyang sneered and was interrupted by the fat man as soon as he was about to speak: "When I bought the sausages just now, I heard from the Internet administrator that they seemed to be recruiting people in the market, with short working hours and high wages. Why don't you try it if Mr. Chu?"
"No!" Qi Muyang refused with a stern face. Although he had been playing in this Internet cafe, he was not optimistic about the environment here. If it weren't for the minors among them, they wouldn't have come to such a black Internet cafe in the alley.
In ordinary regular Internet cafes, there is absolutely no need to recruit people to save the market. Only places like this that specializes in earning money from underage and rascals have to get a bunch of people around every day to prevent someone from causing trouble.
Seeing Qi Muyang firmly objecting, the fat man immediately did not dare to say anything. Instead, Chu Qing's eyes lit up: "I'll go and ask."
"I said no, you didn't hear it?" Qi Muyang pressed the person impatiently.
Chu Qing looked at him inexplicably: "Why can't it?"
"If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. You can't understand people's words, right?" Qi Muyang became more and more popular. "What are you, a girl, hang out in such a place?"
Chu Qing paused: "You invited me to surf the Internet a few times before, aren't you just here?"
Qi Muyang: “…”
"You can come and play, but you can't work here," Chu Qing narrowed her eyes, "Do you look down on this job?"
Qi Muyang choked and slapped the table irritably for a while: "Anyway, I won't agree. Seeing that I don't have my permission, will the boss dare to agree to you?"
Seeing that he was playing tricks, Chu Qing narrowed her eyes. This guy is a regular customer in the Internet cafe, or the kind who brings a large group of partners every time. If he didn't let her stay, even if she was capable, the boss wouldn't want her. Qi Muyang calculated this accurately and dared to be so arrogant.
He snorted and looked at her arrogantly, and the atmosphere was extremely tense for a moment.
Seeing that they were nervous because of their talkativeness, the fat man hugged beside him and shivered, as honest as a quail.
Just when they thought the two of them were about to fight, Chu Qing suddenly changed her aura and bit her lips and looked at Qi Muyang pitifully: "Mu Yangyang, please, please help me, okay?"
Qi Muyang: “…”
A group of teenagers who had seen her kill the bad monkey with her own eyes: "..."
Although his personality doesn't match the word "Pity of Chu Chu," Chu Qing looks harmless. Her slightly drooping eyes are innocent and pitiful. When her eyes widen, she looks like a bullied child, and she can't refuse.
The air suddenly became as quiet as death. After a moment, Qi Muyang squeezed out from his teeth: "...Fuck."
The final result was that he compromised. When he took Chu Qing to look for the Internet administrator with a bad face, the Internet administrator thought he was here to cause trouble, but he was relieved when he heard that they were going to apply for a job.
Qi Muyang often comes here to play, and the network administrator is already very familiar with him, so he said casually: "The boss is out now, I'll come back later. Are you the only one applying for the job? I think your group of friends are not bad either. Come together and have a companion."
When Chu Qing heard that he had misunderstood, she quickly raised her hand and said, "It's not him who applied for the job, it's me."
"...Huh?" The network administrator was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant for a moment.
Chu Qing smiled and said, "You heard it right, it's me, I applied for the job."
Qi Muyang snorted coldly, agreeing. The network administrator stared at them for a moment, and his eyes became strange: "What a joke? Are you losing games and taking a big adventure with me?"
"I'm serious about not playing games or taking big adventures," Chu Qing told him seriously.
The network administrator looked at her for a moment, and realized that she was really not joking, and couldn't help but feel happy: "Little sister, do you know who we are recruiting?"
"I know, isn't it just a matter of fighting? I'm good at this when someone makes trouble." Chu Qing was quite confident.
With such a clean and harmless little rabbit face, she said that she was good at tidying up people. The network administrator was so upset that she was about to shed tears: "Stop making trouble for my sister, do you know who is the one who makes trouble? You are still good at it, are your thighs as thick as my arms?"
"Hey." Qi Muyang looked at him with a warning, very disliked his tone of looking down on others.
The network administrator coughed, calmed down a little and said, "Okay, okay, stop making trouble, you can continue playing, don't make trouble with me."
"You are not the boss, so you are not qualified to refuse my application, right?" Chu Qing raised her eyebrows.
The network administrator paused for a moment and said to her sincerely: "The result is the same when the boss comes. Little sister, go and inquire which Internet cafe will recruit a little girl to help the market?" After that, he couldn't help but sneer.
To be continued...
