Zhou Qi came downstairs, but didn't walk around as he said.
Instead, he found a quiet corner where no one visited, and sat down on a somewhat worn mushroom-shaped chair.
He still doesn't like being in crowded and dangerous places, nor does he like being in closed buildings.
In fact, this is not a habit or shortcoming.
But...
Just like when everyone returns to a familiar place in their memory, many pictures can't help but flash through their minds, and new feelings will emerge in their hearts.
Zhou Qi will also be there.
However, it does not come from himself, but from the box, which is not controlled.
Hmm... He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had "stopped" in his ears and in his mind.
In that box, there are countless memories, feelings, and consciousnesses of countless people.
Added up, it equals countless souls.
And those souls can't wait to return to their "masters".
When Zhou Qi meets a "stranger", ten people will whisper and whisper in his heart;
When he meets a familiar person, there may be thousands of people shouting and screaming in his heart, wanting to go back!
And you have to know that the more familiar the person is with him, the more related things will be contained in the box.
So how many people are he familiar with in this home and community where Zhou Qi has lived for so long?
To put it bluntly, this place is much scarier than the university where he stayed for less than a year... And every time he gets close to here, the related memories and feelings in the box will start to surge crazily, become more and more fierce, and then converge. Waves roared in Zhou Qi's mind.
He... doesn't like these very much.
Of course, he also thought of a way.
For example, he has actually tried to return those things many times, regardless of other people's lives and lives... You know, the amount of terrifying information is beyond the willpower of ordinary people, so they almost all died. .
But those things are not files on a USB flash drive at all. They can be taken out and transferred at will.
But as long as they have existed in his mind, they will exist forever. As long as Zhou Qi does not die, those things will always be stored in his mind...
And it is still accumulating and increasing, and I don’t know when it will end...
But it's okay.
He's used to it.
"..."
"Hi, hi, bro?"
The sweet and cute voice stimulated the eardrums, causing Zhou Qi to gradually come back to his senses.
Zhou Qi saw someone waving in front of him.
It turned out to be my sister and parents.
The weather was hot, Zhou's mother was holding a sun umbrella, and her father was beside her, carrying some things, including some fruits and vegetables, as well as scattered examination equipment.
I should have just bought these.
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were still quite calm, smiling and looking at Zhou Qi, but Zhou Xin was very distracted. She had already excitedly jumped on the chair, knelt on Zhou Qi's lap, rubbed Zhou Qi's face and shouted : "Hey, when did you come back? Why don't you go in? You are hiding here, as if you have been greatly wronged..."
"I've been back for more than half an hour." Zhou Qi's face was so deformed that Zhou Xin pulled it, and his voice also changed.
The parents looked at this scene helplessly and amusedly, "Xin'er, come down quickly, no matter how big or small...be careful your brother beats you."
"He can't beat me!"
Zhou Xin pouted and raised her fist.
But he still got down from the chair obediently.
At this time, Zhou's mother asked: "Why are you here? Did you forget to bring the key? Why didn't you call..."
"I've been at home for a while, and I felt that you guys were coming back, so I came down to pick you up." Zhou Qi answered seriously.
Well, the place he chose happened to be the only way back to his home from the community.
"This kid... is so talkative."
Mother Zhou laughed and scolded: "Okay, let's go home and help your dad carry something."
Zhou Qi nodded and stepped forward to take the fruits and vegetables.
Zhou's father didn't say anything, but he freed his hand, patted Zhou Qi's shoulder with a faint smile on his face.
"Just come back."
Seeing this, Zhou Xin snorted with disdain: "Liar! I think you were kicked off by Sister Li Qing? Did you make her angry?"
"..." Zhou Qi blinked: "Are you so smart?"
"Then don't you see who I am."
Zhou Xin was very proud.
At this time, Father Zhou took over and asked, "Is Xiaoqing here too?"
"Well, she was a little tired, so I let her rest on it. She should have fallen asleep by now."
"Okay, let's take a rest... It's almost the end of the term for you, right? How are you doing, are you stressed?"
"...I'm not under much pressure anyway."
"That's good……"
In this way, the family is naturally connected and very warm.
——
evening.
At Zhou Qi's house, the family started to get busy.
Zhou's mother was cooking in the kitchen, and Li Qing was helping out in a sensible way.
Zhou Xin is reviewing in the room.
The remaining father and son were watching TV on the sofa.
Hmm... I originally wanted to help, but Zhou's mother kicked me out for being in the way. Maybe this is a man's privilege...
At this time, the news was broadcasting recent national events, with particular emphasis on recent drastic policy reforms, as well as vigorous inspections of diplomacy, business, and all walks of life, etc., and various words were used to exaggerate that the country had stood up this time. At the center of the stage, a transformation or something is about to happen...
Father Zhou commented naturally: "It feels like the country has really worked hard this time, and these policies are much stronger than before."
"Yes." Zhou Qi nodded.
"I hope there will be a good result..." Zhou's father smiled, but did not continue to say anything. It was obvious that he did not think that those national events had anything to do with him. Of course, it was more likely that he thought they had nothing to do with Zhou Qi. , he just needs to remember it.
He looked at the kitchen and then at Zhou Qi: "I heard... you and Xiao Qing had a conflict some time ago?"
"Yeah." Zhou Qi nodded again.
"..." There was a slight emotion on Father Zhou's face: "Hey, you are still young, and you have reached an important stage of choosing your own life. It is normal to be a little conflicted... I talked with your Uncle Li a few days ago. , he said that he will not interfere with your interactions, you just need to take control of it yourself."
"That's it." Zhou Qi thought thoughtfully.
"Of course, this is just a courtesy," Zhou's father turned around, looked at the TV and said: "If you really want to be with Xiao Qing in the future, you can't do it without some skills... Hey, I admire you Uncle Li very much. Yes, he has been prospering over the years, but your dad used to always think that people should be down-to-earth and ordinary, but now he has fallen behind... To say something unpleasant, our family and your Uncle Li's family The distance is really getting farther and farther...
"But dad doesn't regret it. I can admit frankly that I can't match your uncle Li's courage and ability, but this is also my choice. I have really worked hard for this, and I want you to have a stable life and happiness... "
He looked at Zhou Qi again: "As for Xiao Qi, as for you, I hope you know what you want, do you understand? No matter what choice you make, your mother and I will support you. You will live an ordinary life." , as long as you are happy; if you are willing to work hard to be with Xiaoqing, we will also support you, as long as you can be happy..."
"..." Zhou Qi blinked: "I understand."
After the brief conversation came to an end, the two people's attention turned to the news on TV, Zhou Xin's college entrance examination and other matters.
However, he never mentioned Zhou Qi's meritorious service a few days ago. I don't know if he forgot it or if he had other ideas.
On TV, the news is still talking about the development plans set by Zhou Qi and the country, Su Zhiyun, Chen Bolin and others. From this point of view, it seems that the group that dominates the country now is still the radical group.
But I guess I won’t be active for a while.
Zhou Qi knew that there were too many people who wanted to maintain the status quo, just like his father and Li Qing's father. One only wanted stability, and the other wanted to fight.
So is there more of the former or the latter?
Definitely the former.
Moreover, the failure rate of the latter will be greater, and the consequences of failure will be worse.
In addition, Zhou Qi didn't pay too much attention to many of Su Zhiyun's actions, which caused a lot of pressure to fall directly on the other party. Today, she died at the hands of a monster and was resurrected. After all these things happened, she would soon be unable to hold on any longer.
but……
None of these things have anything to do with him.
His goals have nothing to do with these factions.
Rather, it is related to some things that emerged after the struggle between these factions...
"...It's time to eat!"
Soon, a gentle voice came from the kitchen, it was Zhou Qi's mother. She smiled and brought plates of exquisite dishes to the table.
"It's rare for Xiaoqing to come here today, we must celebrate it~"
she said with a smile.
Li Qing followed her. Because he rarely entered the kitchen, he was steamed by the heat in the kitchen for a while, and his face turned red. His forehead and hair on the temples were also wet with sweat.
Coupled with the white skirt she was wearing, she looked like a water hibiscus, with a wet beauty.
Zhou Xin had already walked out of the house wearing slippers, rubbing her eyes and shouting as she walked: "Yes...Sister Li Qing is here! We sisters must have a good drink today..."
"Huh?" Mother Zhou stopped and raised her eyes.
"...Drink a bowl of chicken soup carefully prepared by my mother."
"Wash your hands and eat quickly!"
"yes!"
Zhou Xin turned around and went to the bathroom, and then her tone-deaf humming came from the bathroom.
"..."
Zhou Qi was leaning on the sofa, watching this scene, and suddenly looked at Li Qing who was not far away, seemingly feeling something.
The other party's originally happy expression was now tainted with a bit of complicated worry.
yes……
How long can this warmth last?
