Ni Jiu (Intoxicated) - Chap 87 - Epilogue (1)
It was a late night when it was time to go to bed. A patient, a child and a person who hadn’t had a good rest for nearly a week were all sitting upright in the living room at the moment.
“…You guys are so serious.” Shen Tingwei shrank his neck from the freezing eyes of the two people in front of him.
It has to be said that Kang Tong’s imitation ability is extremely strong. He is obviously a childish baby face and his serious look is somewhat similar to Lian Jue’s usual routine.
“Where have you been in the past two days?” Kang Tong flattened his mouth and frowned, “Do you know that father and I are very worried about you!”
“…I know, I miss you too” Shen Tingwei while saying the words touched his belly, trying to escape the disaster by pretending to be pitiful, “Baby also misses brother and dad.”
Kang Tong was obviously a little soft-heartened when he heard this. He turned his head and glanced at Lian Jue and found that Lian Jue’s face still had that expression of oil and salt on his face, so he was infected by his expression. He pretended to be on floor again: “Be honest.”
“…” Shen Tingwei was being stared at by the two of them. He panicked and decided to use procrastination tactics, “Well, I’m kind off thirsty.”
After all, Kang Tong was reluctant to scold Shen Tingwei, when he heard him say he was thirsty, he subconsciously stood up: “Then, what do you want? Do you want to drink some milk?”
Shen Tingwei was about to nod his head but when he glanced at Kang Tong. Lian Jue coldly stared and stopped Kang Tong from leaving. He frowned slightly, and asked Shen Tingwei in a deep voice: ” Where did you go?”
Shen Tingwei looked at him with hesitation but he wasn’t deterred by his innocuous questioning. He was just really hesitant. On one hand, he didn’t want to lie to Lian Jue and Kang Tong. While on the other hand, he really didn’t know how to tell about his bizarre experience.
After a long and fruitless mental struggle, he simply gave up the difficult game of himself. Shen Tingwei looked at the man in front of him nervously and said the truth: “Okay… I’ve passed through.”
Lian Jue frowned .
Kang Tong opened his eyes.
Shen Tingwei smiled bitterly and said, “Actually, I’m not from this world.”
Lian Jue: “?”
Kang Tong: “?”
Said: “I traveled back to my original world.”
Lian Jue: “…”
Kang Tong: “…”
Shen Tingwei raised his red eyes again because of this somewhat complicated memory for him: ” But I only have the both of you and the baby now…”
Lian Jue fell into silence when his eyes reddened.
Kang Tong opened his mouth and asked dumbly, “Weiwei…are you an alien?”
Shen Tingwei took a breath. He opened his mouth and was about to speak but was suddenly interrupted by Lian Jue by the side: “Okay, let’s go upstairs to sleep.”
Kang Tong looked carefully at Shen Tingwei, then at Lian Jue’s serious face and quickly followed them. After saying good night, he hurried upstairs.
Lian Jue looked at Shen Tingwei who was in tears and his temples jumped up.
He sighed silently, recalling the case he had seen in the hospital where he woke up from a coma and said he had seen a ufo. He was speechless for a while.
After a while, he reluctantly walked over and gently hugged Shen Tingwei, who had not yet withdrawn from his loss, his tone was extremely gentle but his words were extremely perfunctory: “Okay, okay, don’t think about it. It’s all over now.
…
Lian Jue: He said today that he is from another time and space.
Doctor: Is there anything wrong with Mr. Shen’s usual behavior?
Lian Jue: No.
Doctor: Well… this situation is indeed relatively rare but it is not impossible. It is recommended that you ask the same question several times, maybe one day Mr. Shen will recover.
After taking a bath in the evening, Lian Jue took out the ointment from the bedside table and applied on Shen Tingwei’s rash that was about to heal behind his ears. Lian Jue asked Shen Tingwei again: “Where have you been?”
Shen Tingwei also answered again: “I’ve traveled back!”
Lian Jue did not show the weird expression he had before and was used to it. With a sound of “um”, he touched his newly grown soft hair and said warmly, “Go to sleep.”
Shen Tingwei pushed his hand angrily: “If you don’t believe me, you always have to ask me.”
Lian Jue grabbed his hand with helplessness in his eyes and said, “I believe, go to sleep.”
Shen Tingwei shook his hand, turned his back to him while sulking and turned off the light then hugged him.
Shen Tingwei’s wound was not healed yet. The doctor suggested not to instigate negative emotions at all time, so Lian Jue followed the doctor’s orders and coaxed him patiently: “Okay… Then what does the world you live in look like?”
In the dark Shen Tingwei said in the most serious manner: “Actually, the world I live in-”
Lian Jue couldn’t help but wanted to tease him and interrupted: “Wait.”
Shen Tingwei: “?”
Lian Jue while holding back his smile sincerely praised: “Your Chinese is very good.”
Before Shen Tingwei was about to lose his temper again, Lian Jue quickly found a new topic: “Then what is your means of transportation?”
Shen Tingwei said inexplicably, “A car.” Lian Jue: “Do you live there?
Shen Tingwei said even more inexplicably: “House.” Lian
Jue: “What do you eat?”
Shen Tingwei’s tone was helpless: “Chai, rice, oil and salt.”
Lian Jue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, still well, just a mild insanity.
Shen Tingwei paused: “But there are 6 genders in the place where I lived before.”
Lian Jue sighed silently, thinking, forget it, let’s keep it up.
Lian Jue picked up Shen Tingwei’s pajamas and rubbed his smooth waistline, seemingly meaningful but actually fooling: “Ah-”
Probably because Shen Tingwei would hear his perfunctory he added a thought. : “Then you have a lot of toilets there?”
Before Shen Tingwei started to lose his temper. Lian Jue quickly followed his words and asked, “Six?”
Shen Tingwei said slowly: “First, the gender is male and female then there are alpha, beta, and omega in both men and women and each of the three subgenders havre different responsibilities…”
Lian Jue couldn’t help but correct him: “It’s alpha, beta and omega.”
Shen Tingwei: “?”
Lian Jue: “?”
Shen Tingwei: “…what are you talking about?”
Lian Jue: “Aren’t you talking about the Greek alphabet?”
If Lian Jue knew that Shen Tingwei was going to describe an absurd world for him in the next two hours, he would definitely swallow the words just to coax Shen Tingwei out of his mouth.
If Shen Tingwei just knew that Lian Jue had so much prejudice against the world he had lived in for 23 years. He must take back the determination he finally made and let Lian Jue stay away from his past life.
Not only did this conversation not go well, it even gave Shen Tingwei a new understanding of his patience.
Shen Tingwei: “…beta…”
Lian Jue: “Why do you love this story so much?”
Shen Tingwei: “Alpha and omega will have periodic estrus. The glands will release strong pheromones during this period…to attract…”
Lian Jue: “Aren’t you talking about your world? How did it become an animal world?”
Shen Tingwei: “My second gender is omega…”
Lian Jue: “…”
Shen Tingwei was a little puzzled by his rare performance without raising the bar then he heard Lian Jue ask in a deep voice,
“So-you are a hermadophite?”
He said dully: “I’m going to sleep.”
Lian Jue heard his dissatisfaction, pulled down his quilt in a funny way, stood up and kissed the tip of his ear: “Why are you still angry? I’ll continue chatting with you.”
Shen Tingwei tilted his head: “I don’t want to talk anymore.”
The next morning, Kang Tong greeted Shen Tingwei in high spirits: “Hello, Alien Weiwei!”
Shen Tingwei said good morning to him listlessly. Kang Tong looked at him on the dining table and asked with great interest, “What does your planet look like?”
Shen Tingwei looked at Kang Tong and found that he was being urged to talk out of nowhere. The spirit of defeat from Lian Jue is revived by Kang Tong, so he is ready to describe it to him in high spirits.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to open his mouth, Lian Jue quickly covered his mouth and urged Kang Tong to go upstairs to change clothes and go to school.
Kang Tong flattened his mouth and said reluctantly with a long voice: “Okay-”
After Shen Tingwei was released by Lian Jue, he said to Kang Tong, “I’ll tell you at night.”
Kang Tong’s eyes lit up and he happily trotted upstairs.
Lian Jue looked at Shen Tingwei without saying anything.
Shen Tingwei looked back at him inexplicably.
Lian Jue euphemistically said: “…Kang Tong is still underage.”
Shen Ting blinked his eyes: “?”
Lian Jue said bluntly: “The school has a physical health class, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
After looking at each other, the two sighed at the same time.
Lian Jue thought with headache, when will Shen Tingwei’s illness get better.
Shen Tingwei thought helplessly, it seems that he still has a long way to prove that he is not mentally ill.
