Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

"Morning, Daniel."

"Good morning, Chenxi."

After a simple greeting, Chen Xi prepared to start today's work.

After changing into a waiter's uniform, Chen Xi was about to step out of the back room door when Daniel called him. Chen Xi turned around with some confusion, only to see Daniel's expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Is there a problem?"

Chen Xi asked casually, but unexpectedly, Daniel's posture became even more awkward. Chen Xi thought to himself that this was not good.

I knock, this guy is not interested in me, right? Please, I am a man!

But on second thought, it seems that it is not impossible, but I am not ready to be Brother Jie yet.

While Chen Xi was brainstorming, Daniel asked with a courageous attitude:

"Um, I seemed to hear some strange noises in your room last night. Did something happen?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Xi immediately became alert to another degree.

"I just vaguely seemed to hear a voice that wasn't Chen Xi's."

Daniel looked at Chen Xi with his eyes wide open.

“So I’m a little worried.”

Although Daniel looked extremely cute at this moment, Chen Xi was sweating profusely. Although it seemed that being exposed was no big deal, his intuition told him that it was not possible!

"Ah, that's my personal interest in theatrical performance."

"You know, I developed this habit gradually when I followed my father in the early years. Sorry, did I disturb you?"

Chen Xi's mind worked quickly and he immediately came up with a brilliant reason.

"Ah, no, no, no, that's not the case. I'm just a little concerned."

Daniel quickly waved his hands to express his apology.

"Okay, got it. I'll pay attention next time."

After saying that, Chen Xi gave Daniel a gentle smile, while secretly complaining in his heart: Phew, that was a close call, luckily I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have been exposed. It seems that next time when I have sex with Dao Wu, I have to be quieter.

He ran away quickly, opened the door, and began to receive today's guests.

Behind him, Daniel stared blankly at Chen Xi's back as he left, and the gentle smile on Chen Xi's face before he left was still replaying in his mind.

"Mr. Chen Xi..."

……

After working for a few days, Chen Xi was able to handle the work in the store with ease.

With his outstanding appearance, slender figure and gentle service attitude, Daniel's shop quickly gained popularity to a new level!

My daily routine is to get up early to help out in the shop and chat with Daniel. Then after get off work, I go back to the dormitory to play sword dance and practice mystical arts.

Although the days are dull, they are also full of fun. It’s just that Daowu is wronged because he has to stay in the dormitory all day long.

Then, on such an ordinary day, Chen Xi welcomed his first weekend.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period, Chenxi. Tomorrow is the weekend, let's take a day off."

As usual, the two would chat for a while after closing the door.

"Hey, it's not that hard. If you hadn't taken me in, I wouldn't know where I'd be spending the night under a bridge. But why are you suddenly on vacation? Isn't business peaking now?"

"Well, that's why we need to take a break. This shop can no longer satisfy all the customers, so we need to rearrange it."

Daniel looked at the displays in the store with endless fondness in his eyes.

"So I can't accompany you tomorrow."

Daniel winked at Chen Xi and smiled slyly.

"It's okay, but if you need help, don't hide it."

Not to be outdone, Chen Xi stepped forward and touched Daniel's head, causing his face to turn red instantly.

Chen Xi naturally knew how important this store was to Daniel. A small store that a teenager had run with all his money without relying on his family was naturally everything to this teenager.

This place carries all the boy's efforts and struggles. For him, this is not just a place to make money, but also his home and his spiritual sustenance.

After briefly discussing the future layout of the store with Daniel, they both returned to their rooms and secretly began to look forward to tomorrow.

……

When the first ray of sunlight fell in the early morning, Chen Xi woke up at the reminder of his biological clock.

Perhaps because he thought that he had the whole day to himself, Chen Xi was so excited that he even made bigger moves when he got up.

Just as he was ready to stretch comfortably, there was a crisp sound of a sharp weapon falling to the ground, followed by the sound of cursing birdsong and flowers.

"*occult swear*, why don't you get some sleep!"

"Ah, sorry, sorry~ But I have something very important to announce today!"

"What? Your funeral?"

Chen Xi gave Dao Wu a blank look.

"Today is my day off, I can take you out to play."

Dao Wu instantly flew from the ground to in front of Chen Xi and stayed there quietly for a long time.

"I don't really want to go out and play, but I just feel so sorry for you being alone, so I'm just reluctantly accompanying you for a while."

Chen Xi didn't say anything after hearing this, but just complained silently in his heart: He even has a tsundere attribute. If he were a child, he would definitely be severely bullied!

"Okay, okay, Master Daowu is the best. Let me wash up, and then we can go out."

……

On the street, Chen Xi changed into the initial clothes he was given when he first came to this world.

Because Daniel's shop became more and more famous, Chen Xi was recognized by many people along the way. Seeing that Chen Xi was different from usual, some restless boys and girls on the street began to get excited and planned to invite Chen Xi to enjoy the weekend together, but Chen Xi smiled and rejected them one by one and said that he would definitely do it next time.

After finally getting rid of the crowd following him, Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief and stepped into the weapon shop.

After all, one of the main purposes of going out this time was to equip Daowu with a scabbard. Otherwise, not only would it look scary, but even Chen Xi himself was not sure if he would accidentally cut himself.

"Boss, could you please give this knife a scabbard?"

Pushing open the door of the weapon shop, Chen Xi asked directly and directly, took out Daowu from the inner pocket of his clothes and handed it to the boss.

This guy was throwing a tantrum along the way because he could only stay in his clothes and couldn't come out, and he almost got exposed when he was stopped by everyone.

"Sir, may I ask how you got this knife?"

"Huh? What's the problem?"

Chen Xi looked at his boss's slightly frightened expression with some confusion.

"Nothing, I was just being nosy. I'll go find a few that might be suitable. Wait a moment."

After watching the boss disappear from his sight, Chen Xi dared to speak to Dao Wu in a low voice:

"Is there something unusual about you that makes the boss suddenly respect you so much as soon as he sees you?"

Dao Wu didn't respond immediately after hearing this, hesitating between pretending to be cool and giving an honest answer.

"I don't know. But can you give me this scabbard?"

Dao Wu gently tapped a slightly worn-looking scabbard, his tone filled with irrepressible anticipation, begging, and excitement.

"Hmm? Is there anything special about this scabbard?"

Chen Xi stared at the scabbard that Dao Wu liked, looking at it carefully again and again, but couldn't make any sense of it.

"No, no, I just have a vague feeling that we would be particularly compatible! Just buy it for me!"

Chen Xi was startled when he heard this. Dao Wu, who always looked unruly, actually acted like a spoiled child, and in a very coquettish way!

Uh ~

Right in the strike zone of Chenxi!

"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you. I'll come and ask the boss when he comes out."

"Great!"

Dao Wu was so happy that he almost broke free from Chen Xi's hand. It was hard to say whether he would have kissed Chen Xi at this moment if he were a human.

Soon, the boss's footsteps were heard in the lobby, and Chen Xi quickly asked Dao Wu to be quiet.

"Sir, take a look at these scabbards. Do you like any of them?"

The boss showed several simple and powerful looking scabbards, and Chen Xi could easily imagine how handsome he would look after equipping them!

But...

"Thank you, boss, but there's one here that I really like."

As he said this, he pointed the dagger at the one Daowu had chosen earlier.

But Chen Xi felt that it was a bit difficult to retract the knife from that position.

"Sir, are you sure?"

The boss looked at Chen Xi with some embarrassment, as if questioning how such equipment could be worthy of the gentleman in front of him.

"Ah."

To be honest, Chen Xi was a little regretful, but what could he do since he had his own child? He could only spoil him.

"Then please take this, sir. It's a little gadget that can fix the dagger to your waist for easy use."

The boss politely gave Chen Xi a belt as a gift.

"Thank you."

After sheathing the knife, Chen Xi paid the money and left the weapon shop with a smile.

"Hey, Chenxi, I'm a little tired. Let's go back, okay?"

Dao Wu is now like a little child, constantly acting coquettishly, as if trying to lure Chen Xi into a trap.

"Didn't we just come out? Why are you tired?"

Immersed in Dao Wu's soft tone, Chen Xi was unable to come to his senses for a moment.

"Let's go, let's go."

In the end, they couldn't resist Dao Wu's coaxing and deception, and they returned to the room early.

As soon as he returned to the room, Dao Wu ran around excitedly.

Chen Xi just smiled and leaned against the door frame, watching Dao Wu having fun in the room. As if tired of playing, Dao Wu struggled to free himself from the scabbard, letting the scabbard fall on the bed and flew in front of Chen Xi.

It flew back and forth hesitantly, and its strange appearance even made Chen Xi wonder if the background music of "chipichipichapachapa" would appear in the air in the next second.

"Chen Xi, let's practice mystical arts."

Chen Xi looked at Dao Wu with some doubt. Although they had practiced this many times before, Dao Wu had never proposed it in such a coy tone. Could it be...

"Chen Xi, can we practice your special mystical technique today..."

Dao Wu's voice became smaller and smaller, so that Chen Xi had difficulty hearing the last few words, but it still did not prevent this sentence from being like a sledgehammer, hammering Chen Xi's already atrophied cerebellum.

"Okay, I was wondering why you were acting so strangely today. Tell me! What's your intention?"

Chen Xi raised his hand and snatched Dao Wu from the air, staring at him intently.

"It's... it's like I've found my other half..."

The knife danced in Chen Xi's hand, and the tight grip sent a force throughout his body, which only exacerbated his shyness at the moment. However, Chen Xi's situation did not seem so wonderful.

The body seemed to have collapsed, and the spirit seemed to slowly float into the endless universe.

"You mean you found true love, and then you made me give up all those cool gear, and now you want me to wake up your wife?!"

"Um……"

Hearing this, Dao Wu felt a little embarrassed, even though he was just overwhelmed by excitement.

But he was certain that it would be his whole life!

"Ugh--"

Chen Xi looked at Dao Wu in front of him, holding his forehead helplessly. What else could he do? He was his own child, so he had to spoil him.

"bring it on."

Chen Xi waved to Dao Wu, walked towards the bed, held Dao Wu and cut open his palm to prepare to perform the mysterious technique.

But when he thought about how he hadn't even held a young girl's hand, and this guy, who was only a few days old, was about to have a wife, a nameless anger welled up in his heart. At the same time, the hand holding Dao Wu unconsciously increased its strength.

"Don't use so much force."

Finally, with the slightly trembling ending of the sword dance, golden light filled the room, and Chen Xi's consciousness left his body again.
