I trade in both worlds

Chapter 54 Meeting

Seeing the childish picture, Xu Ziqi smiled and asked, "Are you coming back today?"

Without waiting for her reply, he sent another message: "Why don't you go back now and pick me up from the hospital after get off work? I had surgery last night and have been busy until now. I am so sleepy that I can't even open my eyes. I don't want to drive."

"I'm not going back so soon, you can take a taxi." Xu Ziqing replied

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Are you taking a break today? Do you want to come to Baiping Village?"

Xu Ziqi refused mercilessly: "No, I want to go home and sleep."

Xu Ziqing continued to instigate: "Take a taxi here, you can rest in the car, and you can rest directly when you come back."

"No." Xu Ziqi replied: "Are you scared? I feel like you're starting to lose your intelligence. Aren't you comfortable sleeping in your own bed? Why do you have to spend money to sleep in a Didi car?"

"Humph." Xu Ziqing was eager to share his discovery last night with him: "I had an adventure last night. If I tell you about it, you'll be scared to death."

“???” Xu Ziqi was not curious at all.

"Really, if you come over, maybe we can have a different experience together." Xu Ziqing still wanted to persuade Xu Ziqi to come over. With him around, he wouldn't have to spend any time thinking about anything. He could solve everything perfectly, and all he had to do was follow him.

It was a nice thought, but unfortunately Xu Ziqi didn't cooperate: "I'm not very interested in your adventure, go experience it yourself."

Just as he was about to reply, Xu Ziqing saw someone standing up, and quickly sent a voice message: "Forget it, if you don't want to come, then don't come. I'm going to experience my adventure now. Bye."

Xu Ziqi said helplessly: "If you have nothing to do, come back early, and don't be scared and call me crying at night."

"Got it." Xu Ziqing replied to the message, then exited WeChat and walked towards the yard.

Xu Xu was awakened by the dazzling sunlight outside the window. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the white roof and began to be a little confused. Where was this? When did the dark roof of his home become so white? Xu Xu turned his head and looked out the window. Only then did he realize that this was not Dayun Dynasty, but another world.

Turning his head to look around, he saw that the four children were still sleeping. Xu Xu sat up and looked out the window. He felt that the whole world was quiet. There was not even the sound of a rooster crowing. If it were Dayun Dynasty, everyone would have gone out to work at this time. Are the people here still asleep?

Xu Xu covered the children with quilts and wanted to go back to see if it was still raining at home. However, he was afraid that if he left the children here, something might happen and scare them. He wanted to wake them up and take them back, but he couldn't bear to do it. They went to bed so late last night, and sleep time is still very important for children.

Just when he was struggling with his confusion, he seemed to hear a knock on the door. At first Xu Xu thought he had heard it wrongly and it might be coming from outside the window. After waiting for a while, there were a few more knocks on the door. Xu Xu knew that the owner of the house had returned and found them.

She stared at the door of the utility room, her heart beating fast, and her hands tightly grasped the quilt, wondering how she could bring the children home before the owner came in.

Xu Ziqing knocked several times, but the other party did not respond. In fact, the door was not locked and she could have opened it, but out of respect for others, she still waited at the door.

After waiting for a while, Xu Ziqing saw that the window next to her was open, so she walked to the window and looked inside. Seeing Xu Xu's face turn pale, she knew that she had scared him. She gently knocked on the window glass, and when Xu Xu looked over, she waved at her and said with a smile, "Good morning."

Xu Xu clutched the quilt in fear, looked at Xu Ziqing warily, pursed his lips, and wanted to speak, but was so nervous that he couldn't make a sound and didn't know what to say.

Xu Ziqing could understand her feelings very well. If it were her, she would probably be scared too. In order to ease her fear, Xu Ziqing put on a kind smile on his face.

She unconsciously lowered her voice and said, "Don't be afraid. My name is Xu Ziqing. This is my home. In fact, I knew you were here last night. What's your name?"

Xu Xu looked at her in surprise, wondering how she was discovered. In fact, she did not sleep well last night. She kept waking up and falling asleep the whole night. The main reason was that she was scared and worried about the children because she was in an unfamiliar environment with them.

If there was someone walking in the yard last night, she would definitely know. Xu Xu thought about it seriously and she seemed to have not heard any sound the whole night.

Seeing Xu Xu's eyes full of suspicion, Xu Ziqing pointed to the camera in the corner and said, "That thing is called a camera. It can record you. I know you slept here last night through it."

Xu Xu looked up at the camera. She didn't quite understand what she was saying, nor did she know how this tiny thing could tell her that they stayed here last night.

Xu Ziqing guessed that she couldn't understand what he said, so he picked up his phone, turned on the surveillance video, and handed it in through the window: "Come, take a look, I can see you here."

Xu Xu hesitated and struggled for a moment, thinking that since he had been discovered and he had trespassed into someone else's house, he should at least say sorry to the man, and this man didn't look like a bad person, so he stood up and walked towards Xu Ziqing.

Xu Xu looked at the things Xu Ziqing handed over, but did not reach out to take them. Instead, she leaned over to take a look. She could see the situation in the house, several children sleeping on the floor, and her back standing at the window.

Xu Xu was so scared that he quickly looked back and saw that the children were still sleeping soundly on the mat. He turned his head to look at his phone, then looked back at the children, and then looked up at Xu Ziqing in surprise: "Why are we all in there?"

Xu Xu's expression amused Xu Ziqing so much that he could only cover his mouth and laugh silently for fear of waking up the children. Xu Xu didn't know what this person was laughing at, and he rubbed the corner of his clothes a little at a loss.

Xu Ziqing turned around, took a few deep breaths, stopped laughing, and said softly, "Do you want to come out first? Let's talk outside, don't wake up the children."

Xu Xu looked at the child silently without saying anything. Xu Ziqing was not in a hurry either. She waited quietly for her reply. After a long time, Xu Xu finally nodded. Xu Ziqing looked at Xu Xu with a happy smile, waiting for her to come out.

Xu Xu didn't move for a long time. She asked with a questioning look on her face, "You, aren't you going to come out? It's more convenient to talk outside."

Xu Xu looked embarrassed and said, "I don't know how to open the door."

"Oh, I'll do it, I'll do it." This was indeed something Xu Ziqing had not expected, and he hurried over to open the door for Xu Xu.

After Xu Xu came out, he said, "This door lock is very simple. Let me teach you. Just press the handle and the door lock will open." He pressed the door lock down and closed the door quietly, "Come and try it."
