On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss

"What are you thinking about? Your eyes are rolling around." Chi Mu couldn't help but laugh at his colorful expression. He hadn't changed much from before, and his thoughts were written all over his face.

His expression changed rapidly from serious to doubtful, and one could easily guess what strange things were going on in his mind just by looking at his facial expressions.

Hearing this, Chen Qian subconsciously raised his eyes.

When his eyes met Chi Mu's unconcealed and straightforward gaze, he was stunned unconsciously.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Chen Qian suddenly came to his senses and quickly looked away. He shook his head, trying to clear all the weird thoughts in his mind, and then added, trying to cover up the truth: "I didn't think much, I just... I think the child is very cute."

"Cute? You seem to like him very much." Chi Mu held his chin and stared at Chen Qian with interest, with a deep inquiry between his eyebrows.

Hearing him say this, Chen Qian couldn't help but glance at the little kid beside him who was sitting quietly in the chair, watching cartoons. He nodded slightly and agreed, "Yes, I like him very much. He's very well behaved."

"You like children." Chi Mu leaned forward, closing the distance between them. He lowered his voice and stretched it out, asking softly, half teasingly and half seriously, "So... do you want to have one?"

"What?" Chen Qian's mind went blank for a moment, and he didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words.

"Don't you like it?" Chi Mu raised his eyebrows.

"But... how do I give birth?" Chen Qian looked around at the people passing by and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. After a few seconds, he added softly, "You don't have to like someone, and not everyone is so cute and obedient."

Chi Mu savored the embarrassed yet serious expression on Chen Qian's face, and couldn't help but chuckle with the corners of his eyes curved.

"No...eh?" Chen Qian was just about to defend himself when the kid who had been sitting obediently suddenly stood up from his chair and pounced on him.

Chi Yubai used his chubby arms to wrap around Chen Qian's neck and hung his whole body on him.

Chen Qian was worried that he would fall, so he had to follow his movements, supported Chi Yubai's butt and picked him up.

"Uncle, pee..." Chi Yubai's voice was weak, his face was a little flushed, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Chen Qian quickly realized that he wanted to go to the bathroom. He said "Okay" and then turned to Chi Mu and said, "I'll take him to the bathroom first."

"Let's go together. You probably haven't had much experience with children." Chi Mu leaned over, picked up the little Chi Yubai, and said as he stood up.

"How do you know?" Chen Qian was a little surprised. He helped put the things he had taken out back into the baby bag brought by Shi Xixi. Then he picked up the bag and followed Chi Mu closely.

"If Yubai touches you, you will be stunned for a few seconds." Chi Mu held Chi Yubai with one hand, and with the other hand he straightened the hem of the child's clothes that were flipped up due to his movements. He chuckled and joked, "It's hard for me not to notice."

……

"Are we just going to wait for him outside? Will he accidentally fall?" Chen Qian looked at the closed compartment door with some worry, and couldn't stop muttering to himself.

After Chi Mu came to the toilet, he simply led the child into the cubicle alone, closed the door and left him alone. The degree of confidence he had in the child far exceeded the level he should have for a three or four-year-old child.

"Don't worry, Yubai is very self-reliant and also very shy. He doesn't like to have people around him when he goes to the bathroom." Chi Mu pulled Chen Qian, who had wanted to go in to take a look, over and held him close to him. After glancing at the bathroom door, he continued, "Besides... why are you staring at him, a man you've only known for a day? Don't you have anything you want to tell me?"

"What?" Chen Qian looked up at him, somewhat confused about the current situation. Rather than discussing other things, he was more concerned about how credible Chi Yubai's statement that he was very capable of taking care of himself was.

"Then let me speak first." Chi Mu's eyes were solemn. He moved his feet slightly, blocking the direction of the compartment that Chen Qian was looking at eagerly, with an aggrieved look on his face.

He took Chen Qian's left hand and placed it between them.

Chen Qian's hand was placed in his palm, with the back of the hand facing up, and he gently kneaded the base of the middle finger with his left hand.

The small diamond on the ring worn by Chi Mu kept flashing in front of Chen Qian's eyes as he moved. The cold texture of the metal rubbed against his skin from time to time, and Chen Qian felt the pain in that place in a trance.

He took a deep breath and tried to pull his hand out of Chi Mu's hand, but failed because Chi Mu held it tightly.

"Don't you want me anymore?" There was something suppressed in Chi Mu's voice. His voice was very low, but just loud enough for Chen Qian to hear it clearly.

Chen Qian cast a misty gaze at him, and his heart felt hot and strangely cold.

He was seduced by Chi Mu's expression, which was extremely rare even when his feelings were at their most passionate. He suddenly lost his ability to think and subconsciously wanted to answer: I want it.

But his lips were trembling and no sound came out.

He stared at the other person quietly, evaluating this relationship to himself.

He thought that no matter what kind of relationship existed between Chi Mu and Shi Gongxi, there was at least an engagement ceremony known to everyone as a bridge between the two.

But I don’t.

Their feelings were little more than a secret story, unknown to all but the small circle of friends who had witnessed them.

Even if they continued regardless of the consequences, it would be useless. Instead, they would just become the moss under their bridge, growing damp and unable to see the light.

The metal that was in close contact with his skin gradually became warm. During the friction, Chen Qian felt it was getting hot, so hot that he could not bear it.

Just as the two were deadlocked, a melody slowly spread in the air, awakening their consciousness and suppressing the desires and emotions hidden in their hearts.

Chen Qian pulled his hand back heavily, but with too much force, a red mark was left on his skin.

"Hurry up and answer the phone." After saying that, he turned away and walked out in a hurry.
