"Aunt Shi Huaiya, I'm here to ask you for help."

"Help? What help?" Shi Huaiya's face was a little disappointed when he heard that, but when he heard that Chen Qi wanted to ask him for help, he immediately smiled, patted his bulging chest and said:

"Xiao Qi, just leave it to your godmother without worry! As long as it can be settled with money, I will arrange it for you!"

Of course, Shi Huaiya's words were just a statement of her attitude. Shi Huaiya knew that Chen Qi would never come to her because of money issues. This child had been spoiled by them since childhood and did not know the feeling of being short of money.

Of course, this refers specifically to Chen Qi's childhood. At that time, Shi Huaiya almost always responded to Chen Qi's requests. Unlike Chen's adoptive mother who was strict, Shi Huaiya really doted on Chen Qi to no end.

Like Chen, Shi Huaiya never got married and had no children. Shi Huaiya was even more determined than Chen, and she truly dedicated her youth to Longmen.

It was only because of Chen Qi that Chen returned to Longmen and took on the position of Senior Police Superintendent of Longmen again. From this point of view, Shi Huaiya is more responsible for Longmen than Chen. At least, Shi Huaiya has never given up on Longmen for a moment.

But Shi Huaiya was extremely reluctant to let Chen Qi go, because from the very beginning, Hong handed Chen Qi over to Shi Huaiya, and Chen only returned to Longmen because of Shi Huaiya's notification. So at the beginning, the first person Chen Qi, who was still a baby at the time, came into contact with was not Chen, but Shi Huaiya.

This also made Shi Huaiya quite dissatisfied with the fact that Chen later became Chen Qi's adoptive mother.

Dissatisfaction means confrontation. Shi Huaiya is very dissatisfied with Chen's behavior of being a latecomer and taking the lead. In addition, she and Chen don't get along well in the first place. Therefore, the two of them have a lot of confrontations over the issue of taking care of Chen Qi.

The most notable thing is the treatment.

Although Chen was very doting on Chen Qi, she was also very strict in educating him. Chen instilled in Chen Qi a lot of what she believed to be the correct world view and values, which directly influenced Chen Qi's current personality, and he had many similarities with Chen.

Shi Huaiya, on the other hand, is completely different from Chen. She is clumsy and doesn't know how to express her love at all, so she only knows one way - spending money.

Meeting Chen Qi's countless needs, whether needed or not, also meant that Chen Qi never had to worry about money before returning to Rhode Island.

This also affected Shi Huaiya's thinking. In her impression, Chen Qi was a person who was not so materialistic (because someone had already met all his material needs), so he basically did not come to her for money.

However, this time, Shi Huaiya never expected that she had miscalculated.

"…It really has something to do with money, Aunt Shi Huaiya."

Chen Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. Facing Shi Huaiya's puzzled look, he seemed to find it a bit difficult to speak, but he still opened his mouth and said:

"Aunt Shi Huaiya, I came to borrow a bottle of good wine from you. I need it urgently now."

"liquor?"

Shi Huaiya raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, but she was a little surprised. It was a bit strange that Chen Qi came to her for help, but he actually asked her for wine?

However, Shi Huaiya thought about it and seemed to understand a little bit. She immediately smiled and said to Chen Qi teasingly:

"I see, it seems my little Qi wants to do something romantic? Hmmmm~~?"

"...You misunderstood." Chen Qi was speechless after hearing this, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say it in a bland tone.

"Hehe, I understand everything, I understand everything." Shi Huaiya thought Chen Qi was shy, so she tiptoed and patted Chen Qi's shoulder and said:

"As for wine, Godmother has plenty here. I'll give you a bottle!"

"That's really a great help." Chen Qi thanked him upon hearing this, but he did not feel relieved after taking the bottle of wine that Shi Huaiya handed over, which seemed to have never been opened.

This... is just the beginning.

……

"Da da da."

"Aunt Xingxiong, it's me."

"——I'll be right there."

After a while, Xingxiong, who was in his dormitory, heard the noise and came out to open the door. The moment Xingxiong opened the door, a figure taller than Chen Qi caught his eye. Xingxiong was breathing heavily and sweating after exercise.

"Xiao Qi, why are you here?" Xing Xiong wiped his face with the wet towel on his shoulder, then smiled and asked, "Is there a mission?"

"No, I'm here to ask Aunt Xingxiong for help." Chen Qi said apologetically, "Aunt Xingxiong, you have a lot of dumbbells for muscle training in your room? Can you lend me one? I can buy it, too."

"Dumbbells?" Xingxiong was slightly startled when he heard this. He put down the wet towel and asked, "What are you doing? Xiaoqi, do you want to exercise?"

"Xiao Qi, dumbbells are very particular. Using them carelessly can harm your body. If you want to exercise, why don't you follow me, your Aunt Xingxiong?"

"I'm an expert in this area, I guarantee it's reliable!"

As he said this, Xingxiong couldn't help but compare his muscles, which were indeed very beautiful. Xingxiong usually didn't look strong when he was wearing clothes, but when he took off his clothes and put on this sports outfit, his muscular side was fully displayed.

A very perfect waistline, with slightly protruding abdominal muscles. Although not obvious, they are very healthy.

Although Xingxiong is tall, his skin is very fair and the muscles on his arms are not particularly obvious. Instead, his arms are as white as jade and as thin as lotus roots like a normal girl, except that his muscles are only slightly visible.

Fit but not exaggerated, healthy and graceful. Chen Qi didn't know it before, and only now did he realize that Aunt Xingxiong's figure, which had always been hidden behind the black clothes, was so good.

In fact, she seemed to be no less beautiful than any other woman he had ever met.

Of course, Chen Qi would not look at Aunt Xingxiong with tinted glasses. He had great respect for these elders who risked their lives to protect him in the past, and he absolutely did not have any unreasonable expectations.

Wait... this sounds familiar. Chen Qi suddenly thought of Tallulah and immediately drove the idea out of his head.

"I don't need it. To be precise, it's a gift for someone." Chen Qi said quickly, "I need it urgently, Aunt Xingxiong. I don't have any money on me right now. Please lend it to me first. I will definitely pay you back after a while."

"What are you talking about? It's just a dumbbell. Xiaoqi, you are treating your Aunt Xingxiong as an outsider."

However, Xingxiong seemed a little unhappy when he heard this. He tapped Chen Qi's head gently and said, "I am an old friend of your mother. Why are you talking about money for such a small favor?"

"Wait, I'll get it for you right away. Is thirty kilograms enough?"

"…Are you sure those are dumbbells and not barbells?"

……

A few minutes later, Chen Qi left dragging a large dumbbell, and Xing Xiong watched Chen Qi's back as he left. He felt strange in his heart, but he didn't know why, and felt it was a little weird.

Who would choose a dumbbell as a gift? And is the bottle in Xiaoqi's hand wine?

Who are you going to visit?

"You're weird too, right?"

"Huh?!" Xingxiong was startled. Looking at Shi Huaiya who had come to his side without him noticing, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You scared me."

"What are you doing? You look like you've seen a ghost—no, you're the ghost."

Shi Huaiya glanced at Xing Xiong after hearing this, and didn't want to argue with him, so she continued:

"Youzhagui, Xiaoqi's attitude is a bit strange. He just took a bottle of wine from me, and now he's asking you for dumbbells - this is quite strange."

"...What do you mean?" Xing Xiong nodded upon hearing this, then looked at Shi Huaiya and couldn't help but said:

"Let me make it clear first, Xiao Qi's Originium skill is [Emotional Infection]. If the two of us follow her, we will definitely be discovered."

"Are you stupid? Who uses Originium skills anytime and anywhere?" Shi Huaiya rolled her eyes and said to Xing Xiong, "Let's follow quietly and be careful. How would Xiao Qi know that we followed him?"

"I guess he hasn't made up his mind yet. He may have to ask for something from other people. Let's follow him and see."

"This... isn't a good idea. After all, it's Xiaoqi's privacy." Xingxiong was a little hesitant when she heard this. She always felt that something was wrong.

However, when Xing Xiong said this, Shi Huaiya glanced at her and couldn't help asking in surprise:

"Aren't you curious about what kind of stunning beauty Xiao Qi is that made her spend so much time on this?"

"So why are you so sure it's a woman..." Xingxiong couldn't help but complain when she heard that. She always felt that this matter would be busy again...

Chapter 276: Xingxiong wants to save Chen Qi (fog)

"Running shoes? Sir Chen Qi, do you want some? I have a lot here. Do you want to pay for them? No, no, no, please help yourself. You can use any pair you like!"

"Hey? A small tool? A nail clipper, maybe?"

"Hey~ Mr. Chen Qi, are you looking for a pillow for sleeping? You have to pay~~~"

...It can be said that it took a lot of effort. Chen Qi went to find a few people and "borrowed" their things. Although Chen Qi knew that his current behavior must be very strange, there was no good way.

Rhodes Island has obtained abundant resources, but the trade of these goods has not yet taken off. It will take time for "Avalon" to formally recover its economy. At least, the number of refugees in Avalon now is not enough to support the operation of such a huge mobile city.

Therefore, these things can only be purchased from Lungmen, but Chen Qi feels that this matter cannot be delayed, so he can only obtain them through the operators on Rhodes Island.

Although Chen Qi said that these things were "borrowed" or "bought", Chen Qi couldn't come up with the money now.

After all, he is the recognized supreme commander of a city, and Chen Qi himself has no habit of hoarding money. Basically, before taking any action, Rhodes Island will automatically approve enough funds for him.

Chen Qi didn't have a penny on him. All his funds were used to fund the operation of Rhodes Island. It was estimated that after this matter was over, he could ask Kal'tsit to allocate some money to him to pay back the operators who borrowed things from him.

However, after doing all this, Chen Qi was finally ready to go talk to Huang about that matter.

I have to say, these bags of stuff are quite heavy, and it was quite hard for Chen Qi to drag them.

Fortunately, with Chen Qi's efforts, he finally arrived at the door of Huang's dormitory.

"…This seems to be my first time coming to Huang's room 'here'. I'm actually a little nervous."

Chen Qi stood in front of Huang's door, carrying a large bag of things. After taking a deep breath, he reached out and knocked on the door.

"Da da da."

"——Who is it?"

After a while, Huang's familiar and cheerful voice was heard in the dormitory. Accompanied by a sound, the sensor door in front of Chen Qi suddenly opened, revealing a familiar figure who was not much inferior to Chen Qi in height.

It's just that the clothes are a little cooler.

"You-why are you here?!"

However, Huang, who had just finished exercising and taking a shower, heard a knock on the door, put on a piece of clothes and went to open the door. However, he never expected that the person who came was Chen Qi. After a moment of stunnedness, he immediately shouted out in panic.

The next moment, before Chen Qi could speak, Huang immediately closed the sensor door and locked Chen Qi outside.

"You, why are you here?! And you're not saying anything! You're harassing me, do you know that?"

"...Then why are you wearing so cool clothes?"

"How would I know it was you!" Huang shouted anxiously upon hearing that, and subconsciously looked at his current clothes. It was indeed... a little too cool.

He had just finished taking a shower and was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt. Although it was quite loose, Huang had such a good figure that his curvy figure could still be vaguely seen.

The lower body was even cooler, with nothing but a pair of underwear, and two long legs exposed, bare...

But this cannot be blamed on Huang. After all, this was Chen Qi's first time to come to Huang's dormitory. In the past, there were hardly any visitors to Huang's dormitory, including Amiya, Kal'tsit, or the Lancet-2 robot that came to clean. There was nothing to be shy about.

This pervert - he must be made to pay!

Huang angrily made up his mind and suppressed the trembling feeling in his heart. After a long time, he said to Chen Qi:

"You, what are you here for?"

"...This matter is not convenient to talk about outside." Chen Qi didn't know why Huang reacted so violently, but when he thought of the embarrassment between the two of them before, he was speechless and could only say:

"Wouldn't you please let me in and sit for a while? I'm carrying something pretty heavy."

"Wait—you want to come in?!"

However, Huang's reaction suddenly became intense again. After looking around in panic, he shouted to Chen Qi outside the door:

"You, don't come in yet! Give me five - no! Ten minutes!"

However, just when Chen Qi didn't know what Huang was doing, a series of noisy clinking sounds came from Huang's room.

"Oh no, oh no... Why is it so messed up?"

"I haven't made my quilt yet. Should I get dressed first or make my quilt?"

"Fuck! Why is there a beer can on the ground? *Da Yan swears* There's still one here?!"

"What should we do with all this trash? Where are the trash cans?"

"..."

Hearing Huang's loud shouting through the narrow gap, Chen Qi suddenly seemed less interested in entering Huang's dormitory.

After a long while, the sensor door of Huang's dormitory finally opened again. But this time, Huang finally had more clothes on, so Chen Qi could finally look at him straight in the eye.

I only saw that Huang was indeed wearing a few more pieces of clothing, and the inside of his loose shirt on his upper body was obviously bulging, probably because of the front armor installed. And according to Chen Qi's experience, he should also be wearing a small vest under the shirt.

She also wore a pair of hot pants on her lower body. Although it was curious that Huang would wear such a hot outfit, at least Chen Qi didn't have to be so embarrassed.

Hot pants are also pants. Although they feel better than nothing, at least they are presentable, right?

"Come in." Huang seemed a little wary, but seeing that Chen Qi had so many things in his hands, she didn't say much.

Although I don't know what the matter is, it seems that he has expressed his opinion. You can't just kick him out like that, right?

"Well, I'm sorry."

Chen Qi was also quite polite and did not neglect these things just because he was very familiar with Huang. After all, he came here to apologize and he couldn't act so casually.
