    Chapter 14 Don't hide from me

    Qiao Zhenzhen came to find Chi Shen secretly, calling for the door while trying to prevent her mother from finding out, her whole person was full of tension.

    "Chi Shen, are you asleep yet?" She called out a few more times, but seeing that no one opened the door for a long time, she immediately retreated.

    Chi Shen in the room listened to her sneaky voice, and his dark eyes melted like ice.

    Qiao Zhen Zhen: "...I knew you weren't sleeping, so hurry up and open the door for me."

    Qiao Zhen Zhen laughed angrily: "I'm still pretending, believe it or not, I forcibly break the door?"

    "It's okay for me to come here. I'm just afraid that you won't be used to my house, so come and see. If you don't want to open the door, then go to sleep."

    After Qiao Zhen Zhen finished speaking, she walked out lightly, just after a few steps, there was the sound of the door lock clicking behind her, she turned her head back consciously, facing Shang Chi's deep and quiet eyes.

    She was silent for a moment and whispered, "Good night."

    Chi Shen was silent.

    Qiao Zhen Zhen smiled and trot back to the room.

    Chi Shen looked at the room she closed, and his lips moved silently: good night.

    Closing the door again, the sense of loneliness seemed to disappear in an instant. He glanced at the neat big bed, and after a moment of silence, he lay down directly on the carpet by the door, and slept with his body curled up all night.

    Early the next morning, Qiao Zhen Zhen woke up half an hour earlier than usual, she didn't even bother to wash her face when she opened her eyes, she went to Chi Shen's room first, but it was already empty.

    "Already gone," Qin Jing said behind her back, "This child is too polite. He came to me early in the morning to thank me, and left immediately."

    "Why didn't you stop him?" Qiao Zhen Zhen was a little anxious.

    Qin Jing squinted at her: "He wants to go by himself, how can I stop him? This kid is too restrained. Maybe he will be more comfortable when he goes to school earlier. Don't worry, I asked the driver to take him there, but I didn't let him go by himself."

    Qiao Zhenzhen curled her lips: "Thank you mom."

    "Stop pouting, your dad is downstairs. Our family hasn't eaten together for a long time. You can leave after breakfast today. Don't always bring a sandwich to school." Qin Jing stretched out her finger and poked her. 's brain.

    When Qiao Zhenzhen heard that Qiao Jian was also there, she could not help frowning, and then looked at Qin Jing's smile, although she was reluctant, she followed her downstairs.

    Qiao Jian had already sat down at the dining table, and he didn't react when he saw them coming together, he just ate on his own. Qiao Zhenzhen glanced at him and sat down beside Qin Jing: "Dad."

    "Well," Qiao Jian picked up a piece of toast, "that boy was your classmate just now?"

    When he came back before dawn today, he happened to meet Chi Shen.

    "Yes." Qiao Zhen Zhen cheered up.

    "Although you are a classmate, you can't be unprepared. You are a girl, what does it look like to bring a boy back? Besides, you are not too young. You should know who to play with without me telling you. It's the students who receive stipends, stay away from them in the future." Qiao Jian couldn't help frowning when he thought of Chi Shen's cheap clothes.

    Qin Jing didn't agree with what he said, but seeing that he was in a bad mood, he didn't refute it.

    On the other hand, Qiao Zhenzhen seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "I remember when you were in college, Dad, you seemed to be receiving stipends too?"

    Qiao Jian's face froze, and the toast in his hand was put down.

    "Zhen Zhen, why did you talk to your father?" Qin Jing frowned.

    Qiao Zhenzhen looked innocent: "What did I say? Is it a shame to receive a scholarship?"

    "Enough, you are becoming more and more rebellious," Qiao Jian stood up unhappily, and then she reprimanded Qin Jing, "You have nothing to do at home every day, why don't you take care of her?"

    Qiao Zhen Zhen frowned: "Just say me, what does it have to do with my mother?"

    "Okay, the quarrel started early in the morning, can you please clean up?" Qin Jing stopped with a headache.

    "I also think it's getting more and more unclean at home." Seeing that Qin Jing didn't help himself, Qiao Jian turned his head and left.

    Qin Jing watched him leave without a word, and then looked at Qiao Zhenzhen: "You girl, you know that your father doesn't like to mention things when he was poor, and he deliberately mentions it, can he not be angry?"

    "He used to be very poor. If it wasn't for his grandfather and uncle helping him back then, he would still be a poor ghost. We can't always watch him condescendingly and look down on people who are inferior to him in order to take care of his self-esteem?" Qiao Zhen Zhen spoke to Qin Jing half-coquettishly.

    Qin Jing glanced at her: "If he is a poor ghost, you are a little poor ghost."

    "As long as my mother can be happy every day, I am willing to be a poor little ghost." Qiao Zhenzhen smiled.

    Qin Jing lost her temper completely: "you, don't make your dad angry, I'll be happy."

    The smile on Qiao Zhen Zhen's face suddenly faded, after a while, she slowly said: "Mom, I remember that it's not the off-season recently, why is Dad getting busier?"

    "The company is expanding its business." Qin Jing is also not quite sure.

    Qiao Zhen Zhen lowered her head and chuckled: "Actually not necessarily."

    Qin Jing looked up at her: "what do you mean?"

    "It's okay, I just think Dad seems to be getting impatient with us." After Qiao Zhenzhen finished speaking, she saw Qin Jing frowned, she lowered her head to concentrate on eating, and didn't speak any more.

    After breakfast, Qiao Zhen Zhen went to the school. When she arrived at the school gate, she immediately looked at the corner, but she didn't see Chi Shen.

    Although she had expected it long ago, she still sighed, but thinking that it would be much more convenient for him not to follow her, she regained her energy and left the school.

    She ran to the snack street again.

    It was six or seven o'clock in the morning when the morning market in the snack street had opened, and the narrow streets were crowded with electric vehicles and pedestrians, shouting and scolding everywhere. Chi Shen's parents were standing in front of the small shop chatting with their neighbors, laughing happily when they said that, they didn't care that their injured son didn't return overnight.

    "Host, what are you doing here?" Xiao Ba asked curiously in his mind.

    Qiao Zhen Zhen hid behind the billboard and looked into the shop: "Chi Shen will definitely go home tonight, I have to do something so that they don't have the energy to trouble Chi Shen."

    After speaking, she paused for a second: "If I use pause incoherently in order to save goodwill, will the points I need to consume continue to stack up?"

    "No, the system is not that harsh. If you use multiple pauses in a short period of time, you only need to consume the same number of points for these pauses." Xiao Ba answered seriously.

    "Okay," Qiao Zhenzhen geared up and sneaked to the tin fish pond, "Pause for 30 seconds."

    [Consumption 25, existing 105]

    Time stood still, Qiao Zhen Zhen stepped on the edge of the thin iron sheet, directly flattening a corner, and then spent the rest of the time rushing into the small shop to hide.

    Time passed, and the water and fish in the fish pond also flowed out together. Chi Shen's parents screamed, picked up the guy at hand and started to catch the fish that ran to the ground. Taking advantage of the chaos, Qiao Zhen Zhen swept everything on the chopping board in the shop to the ground, and at the same time she made a huge noise, she paused the time again.

    Another thirty seconds later, Qiao Zhenzhen smashed everything that could be smashed in the house, and when she rushed out in the last few seconds, she accidentally stepped on a fish and fell directly to the ground.

    The flow of time resumed, and the bald man's eyes widened instantly when he saw her on the ground, and the time paused again in the next second.

    "...Pause for one minute this time." Qiao Zhen Zhen had lingering fears.

    "Good host, pause for two minutes so far, consume 100 points, and there are 30 remaining." Xiaoba broadcasted.

    Qiao Zhen Zhen rubbed her broken arm, scourged the fish shop again, and then thought of how the bald man treated Chi Shen yesterday, she immediately clenched her teeth and kicked him. After one kick, he felt that it was not enough, so he kicked a few more kicks, and then hurriedly ran away until the alarm sounded from Xiao Ba.

    Time passed again, the bald man covered his knees in pain, looked up at the direction where Qiao Zhen Zhen had just fallen, but saw no one.

    "What's the matter with you, you can't catch fish soon!" the middle-aged woman scolded.

    The bald man muttered: "It's really nerve-racking..."

    Qiao Zhen Zhen ran to the snack street in one breath, and she breathed a sigh of relief after getting into the taxi.

    "...Host, just now when the time pause ended, the monitoring should have captured your figure. If they call the police to call the monitoring, how do you want to explain, the existence of the system cannot be exposed in the novel world." Xiaoba reminded.

    Qiao Zhen Zhen leaned on the seat leisurely: "Don't worry, the surveillance there is broken." She took a special look just now, and the line was cut off.

    Xiao Ba heard the words and was relieved.

    When the taxi arrived at the school, it happened to be the end of the first get out of class.

    She hurried to the school and didn't slow down until she entered the corridor.

    "Qiao Zhen Zhen? Did you just come?" the boy next to him suddenly asked.

    Qiao Zhen Zhen paused and nodded when she saw that it was her classmate.

    "Have you asked for leave? If you haven't, you're really lucky. The teacher didn't show up for the first lesson. We were in self-study, and no one noticed that you weren't there." The boy rambled.

    Qiao Zhen Zhen replied absentmindedly: "Really?"

    "Speaking of which, I saw Chi Shen in the class just now, but he didn't wait for you outside. Did he figure it out?" The boy clicked his tongue twice.

    Qiao Zhen Zhen didn't like others to mention Chi Shen in such a tone, so she could not help frowning.

    The boy is still talking: "It's good that he doesn't follow you, really, I think he is too dangerous, I said in the toilet last time that he is a broom star, and it hurts your stomach, so he will use Looking at me with the kind of eyes that want to kill, it's not normal at first glance..."

    "What did you say?" Qiao Zhen Zhen stopped abruptly.

    The boy was stunned: "I said...he's not normal."

    "It's not this sentence." Qiao Zhen Zhen frowned.

    "Say, say I said last time in the toilet that he was a broom star, whoever is close to him will be unlucky, just when you went to the infirmary with a stomachache that day..."

    Qiao Zhen Zhen took a deep breath and finally knew why Chi Shen was suddenly abnormal. She completely ignored the boys and strode into the class with a dark face. After entering the classroom, she slammed her schoolbag on the table, attracting everyone's attention.

    She was expressionless, put all the things in the table hole into her schoolbag, walked towards Chi Shen in front of everyone, and put it directly on the empty table next to him: "I'm going to sit here today."

    Everyone in the class was stunned, and Zhao Lianqiao's expression was even more surprised.

    Chi Shen's thin lips gradually pursed, and she was about to say no for a long while when she heard her say lightly: "I have a stomachache, what's your business?"

    Chi Shen's throat moved and looked at her blankly.

    When Qiao Zhen Zhen met his dark eyes, she turned helpless in one breath: "You don't seem to be someone who cares about other people's opinions, right? When it comes to me, it's like a different person."

    "Chi Shen, if it's really good for me, don't hide from me."
