Husband, Spend Some Gold Coins - Chapter 85

Xie Qi was a little confused. He was still somewhat immersed in Qin Yi’s fight for favour and did not notice what Qin Yi had said next.

After the man left, he realized what he had said that afternoon.

No, it was just a joke. Xie Qi calmly walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down. He picked up his mobile phone and played Fruit Ninja Warrior for a while. When he felt his eyes hurt, he took some eye drops and applied them.

His eyes had been like that for a while, requiring him to use eye drops all the time. It wasn’t too troublesome for casual things, but if he often used eye drops in class, he would suddenly get distracted, which was still a bit troublesome.

Fortunately, after coming here for so long, Xie Qi had gotten used to it.

When he reached the tenth level, Xie Qi failed.

He used to be able to play up to the twenty-second level, but now he couldn’t get past it simply because he was impatient.

Xie Qi opened the group chat. It was very quiet that day, and no one spoke. Xie Qi sent out a red envelope, which immediately blew Fan Qingyue away. [If I grab it, it’ll be a few hundred yuan. Please take it easy. You always give out big red envelopes. I would be embarrassed to grab it, but my hands would be itchy if I didn’t.]

Xie Qi asked, [How are you at school?]

Fan Qingyue replied, [It’s good, but I’m busy. Hey, I’m so busy.]

Li Siwen also chimed in, [The teacher said it becomes relaxed after entering college. That’s all false. It doesn’t happen at all. Anyway, I’m very busy. I heard that it’s like this in the first year of college. I have to study at night, and the bed checks are very strict. You can’t sleep out. Maybe it’ll be easier in my sophomore year.]

Xie Qi said, [There are still four years left, so be patient.]

Li Siwen chatted with him privately, asking, [How are you and your husband lately?]

Xie Qi replied, [It’s pretty good.]

Li Siwen said, [I was teasing you before because you always scoffed at me when I said that brother-in-law was interested in you, and I wasn’t happy with it. So, you suspected that I went against you, and changed my mind after you gave me a big red envelope., I still want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart: brother-in-law absolutely loves you and would really like you as his wife.]

Xie Qi thought, “…”

People were so virtuous. Li Siwen said this, and Xie Qi subconsciously wanted to find something to refute, but after searching for it, it seemed that there was nothing innocent to say.

He might really not have been innocent when talking to Qin Yizhi.

Maybe Li Siwen was right; that was what he thought then.

Xie Qi couldn’t help but think that he couldn’t see the emotions in other people’s eyes—reality wasn’t a novel. Could he see the pie chart of emotions in their eyes like the male protagonist of a novel? It was impossible even to think about.

But even if he couldn’t see it, Xie Qi could still feel that Qin Yizhi’s gaze on him was very heavy, making him feel like he couldn’t lift his head inexplicably.

This was different from the oppressive gaze Qin Yizhi had given him at the beginning; it was a softer yet more subtle and shy look.

At that moment, someone was messaging Xie Qi, so he retreated first and saw a WeChat friend named Rice Dipped in Soy Sauce sending him a message: [Hello, are you there?]

Xie Qi looked at this person’s profile and the non-mainstream photos in her circle of friends. He knew who it was and asked politely, [Here, is something wrong?]

Rice Dipped in Soy Sauce replied, [I just saw you playing basketball today. You were really handsome, so I still want to try my best. Can you come to our department to participate in a few activities? I can give you an appearance fee, and we’ll include snacks, milk tea, etc. The benefits are very good, and there are many beautiful girls in the department, including loli ladies and girls next door.]

In fact, Hei Changzhi (Rice Dipped in Soy-Sauce) wasn’t sure whether Xie Qi would agree, so she could only bite the bullet and continue to recruit.

Unexpectedly, Xie Qi asked directly, “How much is the appearance fee?”

“…” Hei Changzhi didn’t expect that he would be captured so accurately. She was stunned for a moment and said, “Two thousand yuan at a time?”

Xie Qi asked, “How long will it take?”

Hei Changzhi replied, “…It may take a few hours, but you may also need to watch the original film to understand the character.”

Xie Qi inquired, “That’s no problem. How many activities are there in a day?”

Hei Changzhi said, “Usually once a week. Maybe we’ll have to go out to see the scenery.”

Xie Qi said, “Okay, that’s fine with me.”

Wasn’t this just a part-time job? Once a week, 8,000 yuan a month, and four years of work experience before graduation— not bad.

There was a sound of a door closing behind him, and Xie Qi subconsciously quit the chat and switched to the Fruit Ninja Warrior game interface.

As soon as he opened the game with his finger, a clear breath came from behind. “What are you playing?” Qin Yizhi asked in a low voice.

Xie Qi replied, “…Fruit Ninja Warrior.”
