Chapter 16

Qi Zhao was stunned.

Qi Zhao repeatedly confirmed.

"001,...Ji Yue is the top athlete you mentioned?"

[Yes. ] The system didn’t know why Qi Zhao was so surprised, [Didn’t I tell you? 】

The system looked through its archives in the background in confusion, and found that it... seemed that it really hadn't been told to her.

Before Qi Zhao could react, the system quickly changed the topic to cover up his mistake: [Well, although Qin Zhuo's appearance is more like an athlete, Ji Yue's work and rest are more in line with an athlete's daily routine. 】

Qi Zhao has not met Ji Yue a few times in total, and cannot deduce his work and rest patterns at all.

Furthermore, according to the normal thinking of ordinary people, Qin Zhuo, who is full of muscles, and Ji Yue, who looks a little thin, would regard Qin Zhuo as an athlete, right?

But completely different facts were in front of him. After Qi Zhao finally convinced himself, a bigger mystery emerged in his mind:

Which event was Ji Yue an athlete?

Qi Zhao went through the types of sports he knew in his mind, but he always felt that they were not consistent with Ji Yue.

Qi Zhao's eyes fell on the clock, and the hour hand happened to point to eight o'clock.

There were only fifteen minutes left to sign the order with Jiyue, who caught the home-made brew on the day it was delivered to her door.

After Qi Zhao thought for a moment, he turned on the TV in the living room and adjusted the screen to the sports channel.

Fifteen minutes later, Qi Zhao opened the door on time. The elevator door opened as she expected, and Qi Zhao met a pair of beautiful eyes.

Qi Zhao bent his eyes and said in a surprised tone: "Ji Yue?"

Ji Yue was still wearing a black hat and mask, as if she wanted to blend herself into the night.

He was holding something in his arms. When he saw Qi Zhao's eyes widened slightly, he got off the elevator in two seconds and said hello obediently: "Good evening."

Qi Zhao glanced at the things in Ji Yue's arms. The words on it She couldn't see some clearly, but Qi Zhao could tell based on the shape and packaging that what Ji Yue held in her arms should be a bunch of energy bars to fill her stomach.

Qi Zhao frowned almost invisible, then quickly controlled his expression and said to Ji Yue: "I just wanted to go out to get a bottle of wine, but I didn't expect to bump into you."

"Have you eaten? "

Ah..."

Ji Yue responded slightly, her tightened arms squeezing the plastic outer packaging of the energy bar, making a creaking sound.

Before Ji Yue had time to answer, Qi Zhao had already finished the wine and said very straightforwardly: "If you don't want to eat, why not come to my house? There was too much steamed rice today."

Ji Yue was obviously hesitant after hearing this. .

Qi Zhao had no intention of putting the duck on the shelf. She seemed to have remembered something and suddenly exclaimed: "Oh! I forgot that there are vegetables in the pot. Remember to close the door when you enter the house."

After that, she shook her head . He trotted into the kitchen without looking back.

Ji Yue stared blankly at Qi Zhao's disappearing figure, then glanced at the open door. After hesitating for a long time, he walked in.

After he lowered his head and took off his mask and hat, he held the bag of energy bars in his hand and glanced at the empty shoe cabinet.

Ji Yue was silent for a moment, and finally put the bag of things on the ground and whispered: "...Excuse me."

Qi Zhao specifically wanted to block Ji Yue this time, so all the dishes on the table were prepared in advance.

When Ji Yue just walked past the dining table and wanted to go to the kitchen to help, Qi Zhao had already come out with the last soup.

"Tomato and mushroom soup."

Qi Zhao raised his eyebrows at Ji Yue, curling the corners of his mouth, "My specialty dish, want to try it?"

The steam was thick and the aroma was overflowing.

The swaying steam brought warmth, Ji Yue moved her fingers slightly, and her somewhat stiff body was softened a bit by the steam.

【! ! ! ! ! ! ]

Qi Zhao heard the system take a long breath, and then spit it out: [What's going on with Ji Yue! ! ! Why did he suddenly become the number one in favorability! 】

The system looked at Ji Yue's increasing favorability and sincerely suspected that there was an error in its own program.

[...Qi Zhao, I have to go to the main office for a comprehensive inspection. ]

After the system said goodbye, he said nothing. Qi Zhao glanced at Ji Yue and found that there was nothing unusual about him except that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Although she was puzzled, she still greeted Ji Yue first: "Sit down quickly, this soup won't taste good when it's cold."

Qi Zhao helped Ji Yue finish the meal and they started eating. Qi Zhao didn't take the initiative to speak. The atmosphere between the two of them instantly became quiet.

Only the TV in the living room was still making noise.

The host in the screen is warming up for the upcoming comprehensive event, and the short video is a highlight of each sport.

Qi Zhao stared at the picture on the TV while paying attention to Ji Yue's reaction.

The host on the TV introduced dozens of sports, but Ji Yue didn't raise her head once, she just lowered her head and ate quietly.

Qi Zhao, who originally wanted to test Ji Yue with a TV show, was finally attracted by the content and began to watch it attentively.

The last indoor sport introduced by the host was figure skating. Qi Zhao saw the boy in the picture raised his hands, jumped twice and landed, then lay down first, and then stood up smoothly.

"It's amazing."

Qi Zhao couldn't help but exclaimed.

When she was staring at the TV screen attentively, a small, somewhat unconvinced voice suddenly sounded from the opposite side:

"...That's just an ordinary F jump, nothing serious."

Qi Zhao looked at Ji Yue after hearing this, and saw that he didn't know At some point, he also looked at the TV.

Ji Yue saw her turning her head and turned to look at her. There was an edge in her eyes that Qi Zhao had never seen before.

Qi Zhao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then quickly recovered, with a smile on his face: "I have never seen or learned figure skating before. Was that move he just performed ordinary?"

No. Knowing whether it was Qi Zhao's illusion, she found that Ji Yue was suddenly startled for a moment when she heard that she had never been exposed to figure skating. But he kept staring at her motionlessly, his eyes very firm:

"Very ordinary, not amazing at all."

Qi Zhao was suddenly surprised when he heard the rare and obvious smell of gunpowder in Ji Yue's words.

Although it was a bit like a child who had been robbed of his toys seeking justice, this was the first time that Ji Yue, who was introverted and sensitive in his memory, showed such angular emotions in front of her.

Qi Zhao saw Ji Yue, whose attitude was obviously strange when she mentioned figure skating. Although she had made a judgment in her heart, she still spoke to confirm: "Have you learned it?"

Ji Yue did not answer immediately after hearing this, but suddenly lowered her eyebrows as if recalling something, and the sharpness in her eyes disappeared. .

Ji Yue poked the rice in the bowl with the chopsticks in her hand, and Ji Yue nodded, but Qi Zhao felt his voice trembling: "...Hmm."

Looking at Ji Yue, who was suddenly depressed, Qi Zhao guessed: "You Don't you want to learn now?"

Ji Yue shook her head: "You are still learning."

After he finished speaking, he added in a low voice: "...I am learning every day."

Qi Zhao always felt that Ji Yue had some difficulty in speaking, so he did not continue to ask.

She pretended not to notice anything and smiled at Ji Yue: "Then you must be very powerful."

"The difficult movements just now seemed easy. I believe you can be included in that collection in the future."

Ji Yue said. Yue raised her head when she heard the words, and after meeting Qi Zhao's eyes, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but after a long internal struggle, no sound came out.

But with red ears and red eyes, he smiled at Qi Zhao: "Yeah."

After Qi Zhao learned about Ji Yue's age and occupation, he was a little curious about his eating habits.

She can understand that adolescents eat a lot, and athletes can also understand that they eat a lot.

But Ji Yue seemed to miss dinner every time she came home.

It’s impossible for an athlete’s cafeteria not to include dinner, right?

Qi Zhao couldn't help but asked: "Ji Yue, it seems that you haven't eaten every time I meet you. Doesn't the place you go to serve dinner?"

Ji Yue stopped picking up the chopsticks after hearing this. , shook his head: "No, the canteen will provide it."

"Is it because you are not full?" Qi Zhao continued to ask, "It still doesn't taste good?"

Ji Yue thought for a moment, and finally answered in a low voice: "...not good Eat."

Qi Zhao raised the corner of his mouth when he saw Ji Yue's awkward look.

Sure enough, he is still a child.

Qi Zhao added another bowl of soup to Ji Yue. At this moment, she was taking care of Ji Yue as her younger brother: "If it doesn't taste good, you can eat it at my house in the evening." When

Qi Zhao saw Ji Yue reacting, he wanted to refuse, but stopped him first. He said, "But you have to help me wash the dishes after dinner, and it will be treated as the meal you paid for."

Ji Yue has low self-esteem and is sensitive, and is afraid of trouble others in everything she does. With this kind of back-and-forth deal, it would be easier for him to agree.

Ji Yue nodded subconsciously when she heard Qi Zhao asking him to help. Before she could speak, Qi Zhao had already made up her mind.

"Okay, then it's a deal!"

After Ji Yue agreed half-heartedly, her first reaction after eating was to keep her promise and help Qi Zhao wash the dishes.

The next second Ji Yue finished packing and left, the system came back.

Its tone was even more unbelievable than when it left: [Qi Zhao, what did you do to Ji Yue! Why did his favorability level rise to sixty? ! ! 】

The system just came back from the main station. After checking it carefully from inside to outside, it was found that there was no problem with its detection system and it was rushed back.

But what it didn't expect was that Ji Yue's favorability level had risen so high!

[It’s finished, it’s finished. 】The system sounds like it’s about to collapse, 【If I had known earlier, I should have made Ji Yue your first target. His favorability has increased so quickly! 】

"Stop it."

Qi Zhao stopped it, "No matter how fast his favorability increases, I have already planned to treat Ji Yue as the last person to attack."

She always felt that she couldn't stand it when facing Ji Yue . hand.

After Qi Zhao expressed his attitude to the system, he turned on his mobile phone and prepared to contact Chu Yunting first.

But there was an unexpected message in the pop-up window.

It was sent by Gu Ci, a video and a line of text.

The thumbnail of the video only showed black, white and gray. Qi Zhao opened the video and saw a small group of bright colors.

Xiaoxiao looked energetic, with his hind paws on the ground and his front paws raised to grab the ball on the cat climbing frame and play with himself.

Qi Zhao exited the video and his eyes fell on Gu Cifa's text:

[Gu Ci: Xiaoxiao is playing. 】
