Night’s Nomenclature - Chapter 61
[sixty, back]
In the evening, Qingchen went to buy a new pressure cooker for himself. Because of the need to cook beef, it was impossible without a pressure cooker.
The hut on Xingshu Road has been neglected for a long time. The pressure cooker leaks and the washing machine is broken.
Now that he got the gold from the inner world, he naturally wanted to change it for something new.
Just as he was about to step out of the home appliance market, he suddenly saw a discount on Haier washing machines.
Qing Chen hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn’t buy it.
At this moment, Wang Yun and Bai Wan’er were visiting Jiang Xue’s house.
This time, the two did not buy flashy gifts such as champagne and whisky, but bought some vegetables in a simple way according to Hu Xiaoniu’s explanation.
When Jiang Xue was cooking, the two accompanied Li Tongyun to watch cartoons like big sisters.
Just at the stall where the Wangwang agent team finished broadcasting an episode, Wang Yun asked Li Tongyun with a smile: “Little girl, can I ask you a question?”
Li Tongyun said obediently: “Can I have toffee after I answered the question?”
“Of course,” Wang Yun smiled and hurriedly took out the chocolate from her pocket and handed it to her: “Is this okay?”
Li Tongyun said with a smile: “Thank you sister, I like chocolate the most.”
“The elder sister asked you,” Wang Yun thought for a while and said, “Is brother Qingchen a time traveler like your mother? Very cool kind.”
Li Tongyun shook his head blankly and said, “I don’t know.”
“Has the little friend asked him?” Bai Wan’er asked. She felt that Li Tongyun’s reaction was normal. If the other party was sure that Qingchen was not, then she would have to doubt it.
Besides, how could a ten-year-old lie.
Li Tongyun tilted his head and recalled: “I asked brother Qingchen, but he didn’t say whether he was a time walker. He only told me that instead of thinking about unrealistic time travel, it is better to study hard and pass the test. What about the university?”
“What else did he say?” Wang Yun asked.
“He said, those time walkers are nothing special,” Li Tongyun said obediently, eating chocolate.
Bai Wan’er and Wang Yun looked alike, with a hint of joy in their expressions.
In fact, Li Tongyun didn’t answer them directly, but they already knew the answer.
If Qingchen was really a time walker, how could he say something like “time walker is nothing special”.
This is more like jealousy and envy in a certain context, and a kind of comfort to oneself.
At this time, Bai Wan’er also took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket, and she touched Li Tongyun’s head: “Xiaoyun is really good.”
With that said, the two got up and said goodbye to Jiang Xue.
When they went out, they lowered their voices and said, “Do you think the little girl is telling the truth?”
“Such a well-behaved little girl must be telling the truth, and a little girl can’t make up such a thing,” Bai Wan’er analyzed.
“It seems that Qingchen is really not a time walker,” Wang Yun said, “Now Hu Xiaoniu can rest assured.”
They didn’t see that when the door was closed, Li Tongyun silently spit out the chocolate in his mouth into the trash can, and rolled his eyes to the sky.
Actually, she doesn’t like the taste of chocolate.
In the past, her father always liked to buy her chocolate, but since she saw her father beating her mother, she hated the taste from the bottom of her heart.
However, she didn’t throw a piece of chocolate, but just put it in her pocket as if nothing had happened.
…
In the middle of the night, not long after Qingchen returned home, he heard a knock on the door.
He opened the door for Li Tongyun to get out of the way: “Come in and talk, what’s the matter?”
Li Tongyun looked at the unpacked pressure cooker: “You can ask your mother to cook the beef for you. I have a pressure cooker at home, and the beef cooked by my mother is delicious.”
“It’s okay, self-reliance,” Qing Chen said with a smile.
“Hey, this is for you,” Li Tongyun said, stuffing the chocolate in his pocket into his hand: “The two sisters came to ask me today if you are a time walker. Don’t worry, I’ll put it off for you, but Qingchen Brother, you have to be more careful, there must be some details that made them suspicious.”
“Well,” Qing Chen knew very well that it was because of the foreign teacher: “Where did you get the chocolate?”
Li Tongyun said without changing his face: “I bought it for you, a gift for you.”
“Thank you,” Qing Chen said happily.
In view of Li Tongyun’s help, Qingchen also gave some in return: “According to my observation, these people have indeed provoked enemies in City 7. They are called Chen Leyou, and they should be Chen’s people.”
“So they ran so far from City No. 7 to escape from Chen’s control,” Li Tongyun thought, “However, I don’t want this kind of information.”
“Then what do you want?” Qing Chen asked curiously.
“I want your identity, brother Qingchen,” Li Tongyun said with blinking eyes.
“No,” Qing Chen ruthlessly refused.
“Brother Qingchen, please help me with my homework,” Li Tongyun looked at him eagerly.
“No way,” Qing Chen refused, how could he do such a worthless thing when he is so old!
“It’s really boring!” Li Tongyun felt a burst of regret: “Brother Qingchen, these people are always staring at us living next to us, it’s so annoying. Do you want to think of some way to drive them away?”
“It’s not good to push, but there is a risk of exposing yourself,” Qingchen said: “Also, I always feel that these four people can be used.”
It is indeed a hassle to be suspected by the other party, but it is not appropriate to hide this kind of thing. The best way is… to shift the focus.
The other party itself came because of Liu Dezhu, so it is natural to use Liu Dezhu to turn the other party’s attention back.
Not only is it a matter of diversion, Hu Xiaoniu, the four rich second generation, also has the money and power he desperately needs to represent the world.
It seems that he had to have a good chat with Liu Dezhu this time.
“By the way, brother Qingchen, the National Day is only a few days away, let’s go out and play, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com” Li Tongyun looked at Qingchen expectantly.
Qingchen was a little puzzled: “Why did you suddenly say something about going out to play? I have to think about this, and I will talk about it in a few days?”
“Okay, you have to think about it,” Li Tongyun said and went upstairs happily.
In the dead of night, Qingchen practiced painfully while playing Japanese lessons on his mobile phone.
…
In the remaining time of the countdown, there is no more waves in the watch world.
The world seemed to have suddenly quieted down, and everyone was waiting for the next time crossing, waiting for the end of preparations for He Xiaoxiao’s group chat.
During this period, Qingchen has been paying attention to the case of illegal imprisonment. The nine suspects who are still on the run have not been brought to justice. This may be the reason for everyone’s silence.
Everyone is in danger.
Countdown 00:00:10.
At the last moment, Qing Chen put the U disk with the copy of the endgame playbook into his mouth, and while the breathing technique was activated, he held a kitchen knife in his right hand.
He quietly waited for the world to shatter and darkness to come.

The darkness came and went, Qingchen opened his eyes and saw that Li Shutong and Ye Wan were still standing opposite him, as if he had never left.
Li Shutong smiled: “Are you back?”
“Well,” Qing Chen nodded, “I’m back.”
He noticed that only the handle of the kitchen knife was left in his hand.
The experiment was working, at least he knew how much he could carry.
…
There are three more nights,
