Chapter 45 Pressure, Threats, and Preparation for the Face-off

When Qiu Xingci woke up from his sleep, he was a little confused.

He rubbed his eyes and glanced at the sky outside the window, finding that the sunlight was no longer so dazzling and bright.

In the distance, light red clouds floated on the blue sky, as if it was already evening.

"I actually fell asleep?"

"How long did I sleep for?"

Qiu Xingci sat up lazily, and suddenly found that the phone opposite him had a black screen and was still standing on the phone holder.

He was suddenly startled, remembering that he had been video chatting with Chi Chengye before going to bed.

There was no impression in his mind that he pressed the red button to accept the video. Qiu Xingci quickly reached out to the table and took the phone on the stand to watch.

Can't turn it on,

the phone is out of battery.

God, I wouldn’t fall asleep while chatting with him. Did I snore while sleeping? Are you grinding your teeth?

Qiu Xingci covered his face, feeling a little embarrassed.

If he talked in his sleep while he was sleeping, or if Chi Chengye took screenshots of ugly photos of him while he was sleeping, that would be a huge embarrassment!

I really think about it, and I don’t feel at ease no matter how much I think about it.

He charged his cell phone, turned it on quickly, and looked at the chat history.

The call record showed that the time was three hours and seventeen minutes. Qiu Xingci remembered that the chat time with Chi Chengye before going to bed should have been less than an hour.

In other words, Chi Chengye did not hang up the phone after he went to bed.

Qiu Xingci had a faint sense of social life.

Although he doesn't care about his external image as much as Chi Chengye pretends to do, he still doesn't want others to see his more private sleeping face, not even his ex-boyfriend.

Feeling embarrassed, Qiu Xingci got angry.

He had a unilateral cold war with Chi Chengye for two days without saying a word.

However, when facing his online boyfriend Acheng, Qiu Xingci was not so reserved.

While the "Hot Violence" project was underway, he was also working to tarnish his own image.

"A Cheng, I'm so distressed."

Qiu Xingci's falsetto became more and more fluent. If an outsider who didn't know the truth heard it, they would think it was the voice of a sweet girl with a very sweet voice.

Chi Chengye was already used to hearing his voice, and he enjoyed it quite a lot.

"What are you worried about?"

He deliberately raised his voice a little more than his original voice, and his voice sounded bright and clear.

Like the splash of a stream flowing high in the mountains, the sound quality is not gentle and even a bit cold, but it is inexplicably pleasant to the ear.

Qiu Xingci liked to hear his laughing voice. Sometimes when playing the role of "Aci Girl", for a moment, he felt that if he were really a girl, he wouldn't have so many worries.

"Well, I have quite a lot of worries."

The man's voice was teasing: "I can't guess what worries you are."

"At your age, you don't have to go to work, you should just be in school, right? Are you worried that the knowledge taught in the recent courses is too difficult?

"Baby, if you need it, I can go to the library to study with you," he said hintingly.

Qiu Xingci didn't understand this level of hint at all, "I'm really worried about studying, but that's not the point. The point is that I met my ex-boyfriend recently."

Chi Chengye was inexplicably confused when he heard him mentioning himself. He raised the corner of his mouth expectantly and asked, "Are you going to praise your ex-boyfriend in front of me?"

Praise me, praise me, he likes to hear it.

Qiu Xingci sneered: "How is that possible?"

"Although my ex-boyfriend is very handsome, he is a bit stupid and dull. I will not praise him casually."

"I am distressed. I seem to have made a mistake in front of him. It's ugly."

He drawled his voice and howled with great annoyance: "It's so embarrassing, I feel so shameful -"

Chi Chengye didn't notice what he said at all.

What Qiu Xingci just said was still circulating in his mind, "He's a little stupid, stupidly..."

Chi Chengye was a little unbelievable, repeating in his heart: "I'm stupid, stupid? What's going on, How could I have this image in Qiu Xingci's mind? This is too stupid."

He was shocked and didn't want to continue talking.

There was a moment when he wanted to immediately lift up his vest and ask Qiu Xingci, why was he so stupid and why did he look so stupid?

He feels that he is a smart person. From childhood to adulthood, his achievements have always been outstanding.

Why on earth would Qiu Xingci use the word "stupid" to describe him?

Although it is said that not praising your ex-boyfriend in front of your current boyfriend is a sign of emotional intelligence, but you don't mean to deliberately reduce your ex-boyfriend's image to dust in order to please your current boyfriend.

"...Hey, hello, Cheng, why haven't you spoken for a long time? Is there something wrong with your signal? Are you still listening?"

Qiu Xingci hadn't heard her boyfriend's voice for a long time. Time is very confusing.

He looked at the mobile phone interface and saw that the signal on his side was still 5G, which was very stable.

That's not his problem. Qiu Xingci looked questioningly at Acheng's profile picture, raised his voice and asked him: "What's wrong with you? If it really doesn't work, you can hang up and call me."

"No need. "It's gone." Chi Chengye was broken again at this moment, and his consciousness gradually came back.

He explained: "The signal on my side was not stable just now, I'm sorry."

"Is the signal stable now?" Qiu Xingci asked, "Can you hear me clearly now?"

Chi Chengye said in a tone of voice Said affirmatively: "Okay."

"By the way, what did you want to say just now? What kind of embarrassment did you make in front of your ex-boyfriend, big or small? If you are very unhappy, tell me secretly and I can help you assassinate you. "My ex-boyfriend."

Qiu Xingci laughed at his cool tone.

Then, he felt a little embarrassed and said,

"Actually, it's a small thing."

"It's just, I'm embarrassed. When I was chatting with my ex-boyfriend, I accidentally fell asleep, and then I probably snored, which was a bit embarrassing."

"How can you-" How can you snore?

Before he finished speaking, Chi Chengye realized something was wrong. His current identity was not the ex-boyfriend who was video chatting with Qiu Xingci.

He stopped the car and swallowed the second half of his sentence.

"How could you be snoring, baby, you must be overthinking." Chi Chengye abruptly changed his tone, sounding like he was unconditionally supporting the love brain who was obsessed with his online girlfriend.

Qiu Xingci had no doubts.

He said in a dissatisfied tone: "You didn't listen to my breathing when I was sleeping, so how could you know whether I snore or not?"

After ruining his image as a sweet girl, Qiu Xingci still had some unfulfilled ideas.

After thinking about it, he continued to add fuel to the fire and said, "It's all your fault. When you were on the phone with me recently, you were so slow in answering the phone."

He started to find fault with each other, as some " Evidence of "not loving":

"You yawn when you are chatting with me. Tell me the truth, do you think I am annoying, so you are so tired when you chat with me?"

Chi Chengye: "No...

Before Chi Chengye could finish his words, he was interrupted again by Qiu Xingci: "Also, why didn't you answer my call on Wednesday and Thursday nights last week? What on earth have you been busy with recently? Why? " Your time for playing games has been reduced."

"The new season has begun, and you don't accompany me to continue to score. Are you jealous of me and avoiding me on purpose?"

Chi Chengye wanted to interrupt several times. But he couldn't find the time to speak, so he could only listen to Qiu Xingci's sweet voice like a firecracker, crackling a series of words non-stop.

When he finished, Chi Chengye didn't know which sentence to answer first.

He calmed down, recalled what Qiu Xingci said just now, thought about it, and answered each question:

"I don't hate you, I am sleepy because I am really sleepy. I have too many classes during the day."

After saying this, he Then answer the second question: "The time for playing games has decreased because school has started and there are more classes during the day."

"Also, I didn't get back in time on Wednesday and Thursday. That's because I had a fever during those days, and I didn't do much when I was sick. I didn’t mean to alienate you by looking at my phone, baby, how could I bear to alienate you? You think too much.”

Finally, he smiled sheepishly and said, “It’s really my fault that I didn’t accompany you to score points in the new season. Let’s log in together some other time. ” Game, get back all the stars that the baby deserves."

Qiu Xingci originally wanted to make trouble unreasonably. Hearing what the other party said was disgusting with him, it would be best to break down and break up immediately if he couldn't bear it.

He had been drafting for so long and thought about many situations, but he didn't expect that every question he asked would be answered.

And Cheng didn't get angry and his mood was very stable.

Qiu Xingci felt a little embarrassed after hearing what he said one sentence after another.

"Why are you so good-tempered?"

he muttered.

Chi Chengye smiled hoarsely: "Because you are so cute, baby, it's hard for me to have a bad temper."

Even if he used a sweet girl's voice, Qiu Xingci's complaints were still sharp: "Then one day I won't be cute anymore. , will your temper become very bad?"

Chi Chengye thought for a while and said, "It depends on the situation."

"You have to make it clear what the definition of unlovable is. Am I cute, did I do something wrong, or is my lifestyle unlovable, or something else?

If it wasn't particularly unlovable, I shouldn't have a bad temper."

Qiu Xingci knew the key points and immediately pretended to be angry . He looked like this and sneered: "Okay, now you've been exposed, I'll tell you, how can someone always have a good temper? It turns out you were just pretending before."

He made an assumption, "Are you planning on it now? "Why do you lose your temper when I'm not cute in the future?"

Chi Chengye took a deep breath and said, "I explained that it depends on the situation."

"First of all, I am not a saint. I have to be good at all times. " Temper, that's impossible. If I really said that, I would be lying to you.

I'm discussing it with you on a case-by-case basis. I've actually thought about it carefully and don't want to have any disagreements in the future. Baby, I'm just saying that. It's just the truth."

Qiu Xingci knew that he was telling the truth honestly, but he still felt for his future girlfriend that this man was a bit straight and didn't understand the style.

He sighed and said with a bit of resentment: "Let me teach you. When you are like this, you should praise me and say that in your heart, I will never be unlovable."

"That's what you are today. If a straight man speaks, if I'm stingy, I might have a big quarrel with you and break up with you. "

But it doesn't make any difference, he will still be ready to find an excuse to quarrel later.

Chi Chengye smiled and said, "But, baby, you are not stingy at all. You are very calm and reasonable with me, and you have not willfully proposed to break up with me."

"Baby, your character is really great. This There are thousands of people in the world who are not as good as you. I feel like you even more."

Qiu Xingci blushed at his praise.

Is his character so good?

Tsk, are you trying to trick people on purpose?

"You're so annoying. How can you be serious one moment and glib the next."

Qiu Xingci sometimes couldn't understand his boyfriend's character.

It feels like a storm, gentle and serious at times.

Chi Chengye did not answer the question directly, but asked Qiu Xingci: "Then...do you hate me like this? Tell the truth."

Qiu Xingci thought to himself: To be honest, it should be that I don't hate it.

He also admires those who have individuality and dare to be themselves.

He felt that Acheng could not say anything against his will when facing other people's problems, and he was not afraid of being disliked or angry by others. In fact, his inner core was quite strong.

It's just that Qiu Xingci can't be such a person.

Qiu Xingci felt that when he faced different people, he would involuntarily change into different personalities.

If he was facing a groupie and discussing his favorite star, even if Qiu Xing was not a fan, out of politeness and for the sake of being gregarious, he would chime in and praise the star, and he would never let his words fall to the floor.

If the friend he faces is more intellectual and likes to discuss some astronomy, geography, or national affairs, Qiu Xingci will immediately become a serious person and talk to him very seriously.

If he talks less seriously when facing his harmful friend, then Qiu Xingci's less serious personality will pop out and become cheerful.

When you are with different people, you will wear different masks. When you are with your family and elders, Qiu Xingci will also choose to wear the mask of "a good and motivated boy".

Only when faced with Acheng, her online dating boyfriend whom she will never meet, and Chi Chengye, her ex-boyfriend who has broken up but knows his bad temper, will Qiu Xingci selectively show his true side.

In fact, his love of lying and fear of telling the truth are also his truer side.

Qiu Xingci knows very well that even if he can sometimes tell lies so well-intentioned that others can't see a trace of them, lies are still lies after all. He must never let others know that he is lying, otherwise there will definitely be some bad effects.

Although he lies and wears a mask, he still feels a little uncomfortable against his will. However, wearing a mask will make him feel safer.

Qiu Xingci both likes to lie and hates lying. Occasionally, he also hates himself for not daring to stop lying.

But he didn't dare to change.

Because he knows that wearing a false mask makes it easier to deal with some rules and regulations. It doesn't matter how much preferential treatment he gets, but at least he won't get hurt.

Breaking the chains and being true to yourself can hurt.

Qiu Xingci sometimes longs to be his true self, but is also a little afraid that being himself will lead to bad consequences. He is insecure and just wants to wander around in a safer position.

Showing his true self is a bit risky in his opinion. Qiu Xingci is no longer as adventurous as before.

He envied those who dared to tell the truth, regardless of risk. Now that he discovered that Acheng actually had the kind of character that he envied and liked, he suddenly felt a little complicated.

It would be nice if his sexual orientation was the same as mine, Qiu Xingci thought with regret.

"To be honest... I, I don't feel anything." Qiu Xingci finally said something against his will: "After all, we are netizens. Understanding a person through words is still very one-sided, so I feel it is difficult to draw conclusions."

Chi Chengye was a little disappointed when he heard what he said.

He felt that Qiu Xingci had changed a lot now. I remember that Qiu Xingci has always liked people who tell the truth since he was a child, people who have personality but also have emotional intelligence, so Chi Chengye has been working hard towards this goal.

Whether he uses his real identity or his online identity, Chi Chengye always tries his best to show the feeling that Qiu Xingci likes very much.

He didn't know whether it was because his acting skills were not good enough, or whether Qiu Xingci's tastes had changed in the two years after the breakup, and the appeal of Qiu Xingci's identity on the Internet seemed to be gradually diminishing.

Chi Chengye was not ready to drag it on any longer.

Now, Qiu Xingci is still in the sticky love stage for his online identity, and he wants to meet in person: "Baby, next weekend, I happen to be very free, let's meet, I'll come find you. "

Qiu Xingci's heart skipped a beat when he heard this: "Didn't we agree to show up later? I'm not prepared..."

Chi Chengye said seriously: "There is no need to prepare anything, just meet

Qiu . Xingci hesitated and said: "I, I'm nervous."

Chi Chengye smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm nervous too."

Qiu Xingci really had no choice but to say something good for a while, so he thought about it I can only resort to procrastination.

"Can you let me think about it again and talk about it later."

Chi Chengye did not push him too hastily: "Okay, today and tomorrow, you can think about it slowly in two days."

Qiu Xingci breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Chi Chengye said again: "I am a person with a sense of ritual. I feel that whether you want to break up with me or continue talking to me, we have to meet in person."

After hanging up the phone, , His words still echoed in Qiu Xingci's mind.

This person is a bit too stubborn.

Just like many dating couples on the Internet, they use the first meeting to decide whether to continue the relationship or break up directly.

Maybe, this person just values ​​a girl's appearance and height more in reality, and maybe he will leave on his own after a face-to-face interview.

Maybe, when he sees that I am a boy and not a girl, he will leave immediately.

However, Qiu Xingci was also afraid that if he used his true identity to interview him, it would irritate the other party and make him angry and violent to solve the problem.

It seems that it is safe not to meet.

Qiu Xingci hesitated for two days. On the third day, when Acheng sent a message on the Penguin, he politely refused.

"I don't want to meet."

Chi Chengye began to sneer.

He had already expected Qiu Xingci's evasive attitude.

This time, he hardened his heart and said, "Xiao Ci, you seem to have misunderstood. I am not only asking for your consent, but I am also informing you that I want to meet."

Qiu Xingci felt a little uncomfortable: " But you must also take my feelings into consideration."

Chi Chengye took a patient breath and explained, "Why didn't you care about my feelings?"

"Before, I always considered your feelings, so you ignored me. My own feelings. This is the first time you have refused to meet me in person. Are you an emotional liar?

Xiaoci, I really can’t stand this kind of insidious love through the Internet."

"No matter what . No matter what, I have to meet you to see what the person I like is like."

When the negotiation failed,

Qiu Xingci felt a little at a loss: "What if I say no?"

"You can't help it. I can't say it." Chi Chengye's voice was unhurried and a little cold.

Qiu Xingci had a bad premonition in his heart and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing. Didn't you say you liked the latest skin before? I took a look and found that the skins recently released are quite good-looking. "

Chi Chengye said: "Just now, I gave all the skins to all your game accounts, but some of them were given with my own account, and some were given with my cousin's account.

By the way. You don’t know yet.

My cousin is just a primary school student. If after giving away these skins worth tens of thousands, he said that he regretted it or gave it to the wrong person, he would cause trouble, or seek help from the police. I accidentally disturbed you, so I have to meet with you to discuss how to deal with it."

Qiu Xingci was heartbroken when he heard what he said.

This is a calculation and a threat.

It's a clear threat.

Qiu Xingci was in disbelief: "Do you really like me? You actually threatened me in this way." Chi Chengye: "Of course you like me because you like me, so you have a strong desire to meet me." "You have always

wanted to meet me ."

If you don't cooperate with me, you can only use some unconventional methods."

Qiu Xingci really disagreed with his words: "Such methods are really scary."

He sighed and said, "It seems that I don't . There is no choice to refuse, no matter what, you have to achieve your goal."

Chi Chengye admitted: "Yes, I'm sorry, my method this time is a bit despicable, but if not, I don't know how long you will delay. Only then did he agree to meet with me."

In fact, those words just now were just to scare people, and he would never call the police no matter what.

Chi Chengye just wanted to put some pressure on Qiu Xingci and make him agree to meet.

Qiu Xingci's temper has been so abnormal recently on the Internet. Chi Chengye has long suspected that something is wrong. Last time he inquired with his friend Wang Zeyu, the feeling that something was wrong in his heart increased again.

Qiu Xingci seemed to be thinking of a way to get rid of this online dating partner on the Internet.

At present, it seems that he wants to let himself initiate the breakup.

Chi Chengye guessed this and couldn't sit still.

Now Qiu Xingci was in a daze, and the methods he thought of were not very smart. Chi Chengye Quan thought it was just for fun.

However, as long as Qiu Xingci still has the idea of ​​breaking up and cannot see himself breaking up, he may think of other ways. Maybe in the end he will lose patience and cancel his account and run away. Then Chi Chengye will be the only solution. None.

If Chi Chengye calmed down, he would realize that this was not possible.

However, facing the consequence that Qiu Xingci wanted to break up and possibly "run away", he could not remain calm at all.

Qiu Xingci was disgusted with this threat from her online dating boyfriend.

He felt that this person was not very safe.

What's even more unfortunate is that after such a threat, Qiu Xingci really needs to meet him and find a way to break it off.

In a state of anticipation or anxiety on both sides, the final interview was scheduled for next weekend.

After ending this chat, Qiu Xingci logged into his game account a little unhappy.

He discovered that Acheng, that bitch, really wasn't lying. He had received a lot of new skins.

One by one, he counted and really gave away all the skins he didn't have at the moment.

Except for the old skins that have expired, all the skins that can be purchased in the mall have been taken over by this bitch.

This new season, he hasn't played a single game, but Qiu Xingci is almost completely covered.

Qiu Xingci wanted to buy a skin of equal value and send it back, but after looking at the balances on his bank card and Alipay, he honestly put down the idea.

He sighed at his skin collection page.

Forget it, the skin has already been sent to me anyway, and it’s useless to worry about it anymore. It’s better to take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy it first.

Qiu Xingci played the game and found that no one chose the mage. In order to experience the new skin, he chose Mai Shiranui.

However, as soon as he picked this hero, his teammates banned him.

The other party opened the microphone and explained that the reason was: "Brother, I'm sorry, I don't know if you can play."

"Recently, there are too many people who have tried the skin but can't play this hero. I'm really scared of being cheated."

" Change your hero."

Qiu Xingci looked at his hero pool with a speechless expression.

In the end, he calmly chose Shangguan Wan'er: "Fortunately, I know a lot of heroes, otherwise I wouldn't know how to face this situation."

Qiu Xingci didn't play very smoothly in this game, and the cooperation between his teammates was not good. Too good, their overall lineup is not as good as their opponent's.

There is no difference in the early stage, but in the later stage it becomes more and more difficult to fight.

Twenty minutes later, when Qiu Xingci won the game miserably, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He entered the settlement page, but saw the king prompting him that his friend was online.

When he entered the hall and saw that it was Acheng, Qiu Xingci wanted to run away.

Chi Chengye opened the room and invited Qiu Xingci to come in.

After more than ten seconds, Qiu Xingci slowly entered the team.

"Why are you here?" Qiu Xingci asked in the first sentence.

Chi Chengye tasted his tone and was a little unhappy, "What, don't you want to see me in the game?"

As he spoke, he reminded Qiu Xingci: "I remember last time, there was someone who didn't The conscientious little guy also complained that in the new season, there was no one to accompany him to play games to improve his score.

"Why, the heartless little guy has found a new wild king. Do you want to abandon me?"

Qiu Xingci was a little bit affected by his words. Choked.

He wanted to refute, but what the other person said was also true.

It seems that he really said that last time, but at that time, he didn't really want Acheng to play games with him, he mainly wanted to make him feel annoyed, so he complained.

Now, I really shot myself in the foot.

"Okay, that's what I said."

Qiu Xingci said in a dull tone: "But, I don't want to play games now. I was so tired from the game I just played."

Chi Chengye nodded, gently Let it go: "It's okay. If you're tired, go and rest first. I won't force you to play games."

"The main reason I came here this time is to ask, do you like these new skins?"

Qiu Xingci Na Na Wu Word.

To be honest, I still like it.

He would have liked it even more if he hadn't been forced to agree to the interview.

He said listlessly: "Not bad, thank you."

"Then if there's nothing else, I'll get off first."

Chi Chengye smiled and said, "Okay, get some rest early."

After a pause, he He said again, "Baby, I'm looking forward to meeting you next weekend."

Qiu Xingci seemed to be chased by a demon, and he quit the game and went offline in a panic.

He drank half a glass of water and was in a daze for a few seconds before calming down a little.

No matter what happens, we must first find a way to deal with this face-to-face encounter in the past.

In order to protect yourself, it is okay to take some unconventional measures.

Qiu Xingci opened the closet and looked at the red dress hanging on the hanger that had been photographed, his eyes flickering.
