Li Shu had a cold face, with two fingers holding the bun, he quickly and precisely stuffed it into Zhang Qiu’s mouth which was laughing out loud.

The overwhelmed with joy Zhang Qiu had the bun in his mouth, and his laughter stopped instantly. Upon seeing Li Shu’s cold eyes on him, he knew when to stop and chewed the bun. Xiao Jiang stood aside, holding the soft bun and chewed on it like Zhang Qiu.

Li Shu watched the pair of father and son as they finish eating the buns at the side. Zhang Qiu wiped his hands and introduced them very properly. “He is Xiao Jiang, I’m Zhang Qiu.”

“Li Shu.”

Zhang Qiu had some reaction on this. If Li Shu really lost his memory, why did he remember his name? Zhang Qiu, who had always had a big brain hole, immediately doubted whether Li Shu was really amnesiac, the TV dramas all said that it was possible to fake amnesia and lie for undercover.

“That’s a very unique name.” Zhang Qiu said something meaningful. Seeing Li Shu did not respond, he shrugged his shoulders and held Xiao Jiang, who had finished eating. “Go, take Xiao Jiang for a day today.”

Zhang Qiu made up his mind and Li Shu followed him all the way. They went to the amusement park first. Zhang Qiu turned to put Xiao Jiang who’s in his arms into Li Shu’s arms.

“I’m going to buy tickets!”

Xiao Jiang sat happily in Big Daddy’s arms. Afraid that Big Daddy was angry, he pressed a smile and sat in a good posture.

Li Shu held a soft child in his arms, and his whole body was stiff. He radiated the aura that people and animals should not be near him within 10 meters radius. When Zhang Qiu was back from buying the tickets, he saw no one within the radius of a few meters with Li Shu as the center.

Not to such extent, ah!

Li Shu wanted to pass Xiao Jiang over, but Zhang Qiu turned around and walked in. As he walked, he said, “Keep up, there are so many queues in the early morning.”

In the amusement park, there were not many early arrivals. Zhang Qiu brought Xiao Jiang to play all the games regardless of Li Shu’s low pressure and dark face. Li Shu’s patience was at its peak, but he did not leave Zhang Qiu’s behind.

When they left the park at noon, they happened to meet Pei Qing with Ling Dang on a merry-go-round. Zhang Qiu gave Pei Qing a hearty smile. How amusing to look at a tough robust man with a group of children rushed to ride the merry-go-round. Xiao Jiang waved his hand to Brother Ling Dang and then the three of them looked for a place to eat.

They took a taxi at the entrance and Zhang Qiu was stunned when Li Shu directed the name of the hotel. They had been to the hotel’s restaurant the last time they came. When he had said the food was delicious, Li Shu also said that they would come again next time.

Zhang Qiu was really suspecting that Li Shu was faking amnesia.

“Why did you choose this hotel?”

Li Shu heard Zhang Qiu’s inquiry at first with a slight shock and said lightly, “I don’t know, if you don’t like it, you can change another.”

Zhang Qiu was uncertain whether Li Shu was real or faking. He felt that faking amnesia was really unnecessary.

“This one is fine.”

When they arrived at the restaurant, Zhang Qiu inadvertently mentioned, “This braised fish head with pancake is good, you’re quite good at eating it. Have you been here before?”

Li Shu put down his chopsticks and stared at Zhang Qiu coldly.

“You’ve been testing me since then. What do you want to ask?” Li Shu’s speech was a bit cold. “I said you recognized the wrong person. I’m not your child’s other Daddy, nor the person you’re looking for. Don’t look at me with the eyes like you did with the other person.”

Zhang Qiu hadn’t heard Li Shu say such a series of words except in bed.

Li Shu frowned; he didn’t know where the anger came. He swept his eyes across him, from the big one to the small one. From the beginning, his expression as if he was looking at other people, and now it was more (stranger). Putting the money on the table, Li Shu stood up. “You should go and find the person you’re looking for, not me.”

Zhang Qiu watched Li Shu leave without saying anything. Xiao Jiang next to him was somewhat sulky.

“Big Daddy likes to be angry now!”

“After a few days, he’ll be fine. Just ignore him and let’s eat our food.” Zhang Qiu gave a piece of pancake to his son, internally thought: if you weren’t Li Shu, believe it or not I would press and beat you now.

The father and son were satisfied with their food. When they got back to the villa, Qi Xi was there and upon seeing they came back, he waved to Xiao Jiang. This guy liked children very much.

“There is gift!” Qi Xi raised the toy in his hand and lured Xiao Jiang, “What am I called?”

This guy still remembered Xiao Jiang calling him uncle!

Xiao Jiang crisply called out, “Beautiful Uncle.”

Qi Xi was shot numerous times (shot with cuteness). Finally, he rubbed Xiao Jiang’s soft hair and handed the toy over. Hua Hua also had gift. The two brothers took their gifts and went to play. Xiao Jiang told Hua Hua that Big Daddy held him today and they went to eat delicious pancake.

“I’ve heard that Li Shu is okay. As for the little things like amnesia, just smash his head. That’s what happens on TV.” Qi Xi stretched out and said enthusiastically, “I just came back from the mountains. I heard that you are going to go down to the pit again. How about taking me with you this time?”

Zhang Qiu swept a glance at Qi Xi’s highly recognizable face and remembered the group of fans at the entrance of the hotel in Xinjiang; he was afraid that everyone would know what they’re going to do, ah!

“It hasn’t been decided yet, and it’s not necessary to go.” If only Li Shu could recover his memory before that, then it would be fine. Zhang Qiu had a headache at the thought of Li Shu, who was angry and went away first at noon.

As Zhang Qiu’s words settled on, Pei Qing called. He had been running an antique shop for several years and had some connections on this line of business (tomb raiding). He had been inquiring to old friends since he knew Qi ZhiRong was interested in Zhongshan Country.

“Qi ZhiRong got on the plane ten minutes ago and went to Yulin Airport in northern Shaanxi.” Pei Qing held the phone in one hand and packed his luggage in the other. “He was on a private plane, so it’s a little late to inquire… Ah! Baby, this one need to be taken and sunscreen too, I heard that it’s dry over there. Yes-yes-yes, take all…” Pei Qing coughed as if he remembered that the phone had not been hung up. “Well, this time it’s just a ticket for us husband and wife.”

Ling Dang’s shy call of Brother was heard on the phone, and then a hum and the phone was hung up.

Zhang Qiu held the phone and did not know what expression he was putting on. He said seriously, “Qi ZhiRong has gone to Yulin, northern Shaanxi.”

“Xiao Qiuqiu, we all heard it, don’t be embarrassed. After all, you are an old driver (experienced), and only I am the pure beautiful man.” Qi Xi stood up, smiling. “It seems that I’m going to go back and tidy up, too.”

Zhang Qiu:…

Hua Ting and Lu Feng were going too. Zhang Qiu shook his head. “In fact, it’s not necessary for everyone to go. Qixi^[1] naturally is going to invite trouble. If anything goes wrong, it’s fine to pull out. You guys have Hua Hua here. It’s not good for you to leave Hua Hua at another person’s house all day.”

[1 sometimes, ZQ calls Qi Xi 7 Up (Qixi)]

Zhang Qiu knew that Senior Brother, husband and wife wanted to live a stable life and he accepted their kindness, but it was both dangerous and against the law to go down the pit, he think it’s better for the husband and wife not to go down the pit. He had been living in Senior Brother’s house and bothering them for a long time that he was quite apologetic towards them.

“This kind of arrangement is all right.” Zhang YuShui was there to persuade. Although there was a blood inheritance in Lu Feng’s body, it was not awakened after all. Most of them were ordinary people, and not to mention Hua Ting, most of the people who go there sometimes have their hands tied and feet bound.

“Well, if there’s anything you need, call us.” Lu Feng did not insist.

When they checked the plane to Yulin, Northern Shaanxi, they were all stupified. It was actually at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning, which they might as well drive over. After thinking, Lu Feng dialed the phone and it was quickly settled. He laughed and said, “Yang Bao’s Daddy is willing to help. You can leave in an hour.”

Yang Bao’s Daddy was a local tyrant.

The private plane arrived at Yulin Airport, Northern Shaanxi. Just after getting off the plane, Lu Feng called that he found out the hotel where Qi ZhiRong stayed. They went directly to the hotel.

“Xiao Jiang, let me hold you, just enough to cover my face.” From the close distance of getting off the plane to the airport entrance, Qi Xi had been noticed by many people.

Zhang Qiu stared at Qi Xi, who was wrapped like a zongzi, thinking: these passers-by are not looking at your beauty, they might be looking at you silly.

Yulin in early November was somewhat cold. It was near Inner Mongolia. The temperature difference between night and day was very big and the climate was dry. Pei Qing wrapped Little Ling Dang in his windbreaker. Zhang Yushui, his Er-Ge, also hugged Pixian Hui Wang, who was not used to being so intimate in public. He was embarrassed, but he still let Zhang Yushui hold him.

Zhang Qiu was wearing a long sleeve T, shivering in the wind. He walked behind and stared at the couples in front. Even QiXi had his family’s Xiao Jiang. He regretted giving Xiao Jiang to him.

The wind was mixed with the sour smell of love!

“Qixi, you return my family’s Xiao Jiang to me.” Zhang Qiu followed the leading figures.

Qi Xi grinned shamelessly. “Nope, nope. I’ll hold him and you relax. Remember to carry the luggage.”

Zhang Qiu stared at a big case at Qixi’s feet. He relaxed; what a fart! Better to hold his family’s Xiao Jiang.

“Qixi, you treat this as touring, ah! So much clothes.” Zhang Qiu pulled the luggage behind him. “You should show your fans your face now!”

“What face? Is my face so beautiful? Ha-ha-ha, my fans all know that yo!!” Qi Xi acted cute, turned around and imitated a smooching face at Zhang Qiu. “Xiao Qiuqiu, come on yo!”

Ding——

The elevator door opened.

Zhang Qiu pushed the luggage and joked, “I tell you, if you acting like this, you will lose my——” Seeing a pair of familiar and indifferent eyes in the elevator, he subconsciously added, “me as a friend.”

In the elevator, Li Shu looked at Zhang Qiu, and when he got out of the elevator, he stared coldly at Qi Xi holding Xiao Jiang.

The atmosphere was suddenly silent. Zhang Qiu wanted to explain something but snorted and went into the elevator. Pixian Hui Wang and the several others also came in and the door of the elevator slowly closed.

Qi Xi pulled down his scarf and looked at Zhang Qiu. “Your family’s man just now wanted to kill me! I almost threw out your family’s Xiao Jiang.”

Xiao Jiang, who was in a daze of sleepiness, looked up. “Daddy?”

Zhang Qiu took over Xiao Jiang. “It’s okay, keep sleeping.” Xiao Jiang muttered dreamily and went to sleep.

The rooms were reserved by Lu Feng. It was over ten o’clock when they went to the rooms and clean up. The nightlife here was empty. Maybe they didn’t find the right place. At night, the street was cold. Zhang Qiu, who wanted to buy clothes, decided to go to bed early and put it off until some time later the next day.

From Xi’an to Beijing, what he took the most was Xiao Jiang’s clothes. It was unexpected that the weather in Yulin changed so fast, and that night the thunder and lightning occurred at the same time. When Zhang Qiu got up the next morning, he was stupefied.

Is it snowing?

The streets were wet and the windows were foggy. Zhang Qiu sneezed two times by the chill wind and decided to go to Qi Xi to borrow clothes. It was after he took in the fact that Er-Ge and Er-Sao were not afraid of the cold, which one was a Phoenix and the other had been zongzi for three thousand years and while Pei Qing had brought luggage, but the big bag was Little Ling Dang’s. Zhang Qiu knocked silently on the door of Qi Xi’s room at the thought of Ling Dang’s pink shirt.

Qi Xi wore a flowery nightgown, opened the door with sleepy eyes, and put his lazy arm on the door frame. “Honey, you really don’t have nightlife. You get up so early.” After that, he yawned.

Zhang Qiu:…

Right now, he regretted coming to Qi Xi to borrow clothes.

“You don’t see the snow outside. First, lend me a coat. I went out and bought it back to you.” Zhang Qiu’s theory of Qi Xi was that he was bold and confident.

Qi Xi laughed and said, “With our relationship, don’t even say borrowing, you can come in to choose as your wish. If you like, I’ll give it to you as a gift!”

Zhang Qiu thought to himself: we had nothing to do with each other. Suddenly there was a chill behind him. He turned his head and saw Li Shu stood facing at the door of the opposite room without expression. Then he turned around and slammed the door shut again.

…

Hardly knew what to say. Zhang Qiu looked up at the ‘need a spanking’ smiling Qi Xi. “It’s intentional, right?”

Qi Xi shrugged. “It’s all on TV. You didn’t see him angry just now. It’s good to help him recover his memory. You can thank me.”

Listen to your nonsense here. Zhang Qiu followed Qi Xi into the room, and Qi Xi turned out his suitcase as he talked. “Baby, find it yourself.”

“Speak properly, don’t disgust me.” Zhang Qiu’s action of rummaging through was not in the least careless.

Qi Xi tsked twice, “Don’t be discontent, there are many men and women want me to call them baby. But then again, you haven’t seen your Li Shu look at me; like he is really going to cut me to pieces. Hahaha very exciting!”

Zhang Qiu:…

This TMD^[2] is not a normal person, ah! But a drama elite!

[2 TMD, FML is curse words]

“Later, who dares to blacken you of not having acting skill, I’ll be the first one who won’t spare them!” Zhang Qiu’s face was calm.

Qi Xi cupped his own face. “Isn’t it enough for me to be beautiful? What’s wrong with my acting skill?!” Then he lazily lay on the bed, chatting with Zhang Qiu, “I recently received an idol drama, in which I played role of a crazy overbearing president. After the president lost memory, he did not remember the female lead but knew to shield her, no problem. Men are actually cheap. I tell you, hang him, and let him be jealous in the pit, a blow in the head is fine…”

Zhang Qiu, with a black face, listened to Qi Xi’s Friend of Women Talk, picked up a slightly thicker windbreaker and hurried away. He might want to wipe out Qi Xi if he stayed.

Qi Xi lay in bed and was too lazy to move; he shouted happily, “Baby [baobei], I won’t gift it to you la! Remember to close the door!”

[bao] Treasure you big headed shellfish [bei]! [Ba-you big head-by]

Zhang Qiu went out of the room like his ass on fire, for fear of Qi Xi’s brain circuit. He did not know that since he returned to the room, the door opposite of Qi Xi opened silently, and Li Shu stared coldly at the closed door opposite of him.

Qi Xi, who was lying in bed, suddenly shivered, wrapped himself in the quilt and muttered, “Why suddenly it’s cold…”

When Zhang Qiu went back, Xiao Jiang with blurred eyes sat on the bed with bare butt and crossed legs. The curls on his head a mess. Seeing Zhang Qiu came back, he called Daddy softly. Zhang Qiu kissed his lips twice. “Smelly boy has woken up. Daddy will take you to buy clothes later.”

When he was rummaging the clothes, he as a fashionable and pretty boy recognized Qi Xi’s clothes as expensive. It was just too luxurious. He had better rushed to buy clothes and bought two for Xiao Jiang.

Xiao Jiang cleverly tidied himself up and sat beside the bed, shaking his short legs and waiting for his Daddy.

Zhang Qiu dressed in a hurry and held Xiao Jiang in his arms. As soon as he went out, he happened to meet Pei Qing and Ling Dang. Pei Qing said helplessly, “Ling Dang is afraid of me getting cold and said I need to buy clothes.” But there was a sweet smile on his face.

Dog food is being fed early in the morning. Zhang Qiu expressed that this darling did not let off easily! [darling here is him ZQ]

“The smile on your face is blinding me.”

Ling Dang pulled Pei Qing’s sleeve to make Pei Qing restraint a bit. Who would expect that Pei Qing very sweetly hugged around Ling Dang’s shoulder?

Simply don’t dare to look. Zhang Qiu coughed. “Xiao Jiang, you still have to leave with Daddy. Don’t want to stay here and get hurt.” [hurt by their display of love]

“Brother.” Ling Dang said shyly in a low voice.

Pei Qing didn’t let go. “Zhang Qiu is an old driver. When Li Shu and Zhang Qiu abused me, they didn’t restraint. There is no abuse now but wait for Li Shu’s memory to come back and then hurt each other.”

Zhang Qiu, who was holding Xiao Jiang in front, almost threw Xiao Jiang on Pei Qing’s face.

What on earth did he do to make everyone think he was an old driver!!!

In the end, it was too early for the store to open, so four of them ate local famous mixed sheep’s entrails soup in a nearby shop. They put hot peppers in it for nice and warm. Xiao Jiang liked to eat pancakes. He took a spoon and soaked the pancake in soup and sent it into his mouth. His short legs swayed and swayed with great satisfaction.

The boss laughed and gave his homemade pickled dried radish and said with a local accent, “At first glance, I knew you are all from out of town, such good-looking young men. Especially this baby looks like he came out of the New Year’s picture. Come taste Uncle’s dried radish.”

Turned out, this dried radish was for Xiao Jiang’s face.

Xiao Jiang was so happy when he saw the food that he showed his dimples and said thanks.

“Boss, how come it snowed here in November?” Zhang Qiu was warm after drinking the soup. Although the snow was not too heavy, the temperature dropped by more than a dozen degrees after he got off the plane yesterday.

“In the past, it didn’t.” The boss thought for a moment and said, “It should have started four years ago. Every year, it happened on early November and cleared up in two days. I heard it’s the cold from the north. Now the weather is getting more and more confusing.”

Then the boss went busy. After they had finished the soup, they were warm and the clothing store opened for business. They went in and bought clothes and went back early.

When they returned to the hotel, they happened to meet Er-sao and Er-Ge downstairs. After greeting them, they knew that the two of them just woken up and went down to eat in the restaurant.

“We’ve eaten.” Zhang Qiu, holding Xiao Jiang, whispered, “Is there no news over there?”

Zhang YuShui shook his head. “This person is very patient. Don’t worry.”

Zhang Qiu himself was not curious about what Zhongshan Country was, their purpose was for Li Shu, so he nodded, “Then I’ll take Xiao Jiang back first.”

Back in the room, Xiao Jiang sat on the bed and watched cartoon. Zhang Qiu went to return Qi Xi’s clothes. As soon as he went out, he met Li Shu. Zhang Qiu thought that he and Li Shu were really made for each other. Look, it was fated.

“Morning!” Zhang Qiu greeted with a smile.

Li Shu nodded a bit with gentle expression on his face as a greeting. After a pause he said, “Have you had lunch yet?”

Hahahaha, this is inviting this darling to lunch ah! He had eaten but should say he had not. Zhang Qiu was about to open his mouth, as a result, Qi Xi suddenly opened the door. He said very flirtatiously, “Baby, it wasn’t long before you miss me again?”

Miss you big headed ghost! Zhang Qiu was so angry that he had a headache. Li Shu’s eyes were cold. He swept his eyes at Qi Xi, then lifted his legs and left.

Zhang Qiu looked at Li Shu’s back and looked back at Qi Xi fiercely. Qi Xi shook with fear. “I tell you, you’re not my opponent. I’m so beautiful, you have the heart to strike me? Aahhh scum, I tell you this works! Any way, I also beheaded thousand men^[3]!”

[3 slang for samurai, someone very powerful and killed 1000 men]

“You won’t die if I beheaded you today, you’re not human!” Zhang Qiu roared and jumped on him.

Qi Xi covered his head when he was beaten and flurried away, while his mouth begging for mercy. “Why are you so fierce now? I’ll tell you to listen to me. It really works. For sure your Li Shu recalls back your true love as soon as he is stimulated.”

Right now he just wanted to beat Qi Xi, this drama elite to death!
