Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 343 Real World (8)

After Fu Shiqi put the bowl in the kitchen, she continued to sit next to Ji Xiao and watched their noisy scene, feeling extremely relaxed.

Because last night after everyone learned that he was a star, they didn't behave particularly out of line. They just regarded him as Ji Xiao's friend and treated him with enthusiasm. This atmosphere made him feel very comfortable.

After dinner, Ji Xiao and the others compared dishes as usual to decide who would wash the dishes. It was fair and just. Fu Shiqi also participated, but he was lucky while Xiaoze had the worst luck, so he had to wash the dishes just like last night.

After he finished washing the dishes, Ji Xiao suggested that everyone play games together.

She took out a deck of playing cards and introduced the rules of the game to Fu Shiqi.

Everyone sat around the table and began a game journey full of laughter.

At the beginning, Fu Shiqi was a little reserved, but as the game progressed, he gradually relaxed and immersed himself in the joyful atmosphere.

He burst into laughter from time to time and fully felt the joy brought by the game.

My second uncle and second aunt left last night. Since my second uncle didn't drink, they drove here when they came.

However, before they left last night, Second Uncle and Ji Xiao agreed to treat them to dinner in a few days, and then they drove away.

Because my aunt went home with her two cousins ​​after lunch, only Ji Xiao's family, Fu Shiqi, and my third uncle's family had dinner together.

Although grandma lived with the Ji Xiao family, she did not eat with them because the old woman preferred to cook alone and enjoy a quiet meal.

Ji Xiao and her friends had a late lunch, so they didn't have much appetite for dinner.

After dinner, everyone decided to watch a movie together to spend this pleasant evening.

As it happens, the TV in Ji Xiao's living room is an advanced Mijia 100-inch full-screen smart TV, which is very suitable for watching movies. Everyone has a special liking for classic old movies, especially the works of Uncle Jiu, so Ji Xiao chose a popular "Mr. Zombie" as the movie choice for tonight.

As the movie played, everyone gradually immersed themselves in the thrilling plot.

Whenever there was a funny plot, everyone couldn't help laughing, and the laughter echoed throughout the living room.

Although Fu Shiqi had seen this movie before, she still found it very interesting every time she rewatched it. Moreover, the actors’ acting skills were superb, without any trace of acting at all, which made people marvel at their talent and hard work.

Especially the climax part where Uncle Ying fought the zombies, which made him fascinated and he couldn't help but want to learn the techniques and essence of it.

Just when everyone was immersed in the plot of the movie, the network suddenly froze, the screen froze briefly, and the picture froze instantly.

"Oh, why is it stuck? It's so annoying, I'm just seeing the climax!" Ji Xiao complained with a frown.

She hurriedly picked up the remote control and tried to reconnect to the network, hoping to continue enjoying the movie.

While waiting for the movie to resume normal, some took out their phones to play games or chat; others got up to go to the bathroom.

However, after a few seconds, the screen was still stuck.

The family began to get impatient and agitated. "Is there something wrong with the network?" Xiaoli asked doubtfully, picking up the remote control to check the network settings.

After some inspection, it was found that the network signal was unstable, which caused the video to not play smoothly.

"It's okay. We're connected to my home network. It'll be fine soon." Xiaoli comforted everyone.

So everyone had to wait patiently, hoping that the network would return to normal as soon as possible.

Xiaoli stood up, walked quickly to the router, and skillfully pressed the restart button.

As the router's signal light flashed, everyone stared at the screen with anticipation.

After a while, the movie screen really returned to normal, and everyone cheered. Ji Xiao said excitedly: "Great! We can finally continue watching the movie!"

So, everyone sat back down and continued watching the movie with great interest.

However, something unexpected happened. Not long after, the movie screen froze again, and the sound became intermittent. Ozawa shook his head helplessly and said, "This network is too weak! It failed at the critical moment!"

Xiao Rui frowned, stood up and said to everyone: "Wait a moment, I'll go see if there are other devices occupying the network." After that, he quickly walked into the study.

After a while, Xiao Rui walked back to the living room with a puzzled look on his face, and said to himself: "Strange, I just checked and didn't find any other devices connected to the network. Is there something wrong with the network company?" As he said that, he couldn't help scratching his head.

Ji Xiao asked anxiously: "What should we do now? We are only halfway through the movie, can't we just enjoy it for a while?"

Xiao Rui comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I'll call the Internet company right away and find out what's going on." After that, he picked up his phone and quickly dialed the Internet company's customer service number...

While waiting for customer service to solve the problem, everyone started chatting. Fu Shiqi shared some interesting stories from his filming, which made everyone laugh.

"You know what? One time I was shooting an advertisement and the director asked me to strike a cool pose, but I accidentally fell down and the whole scene became funny," Fu Shiqi said with a smile.

"Hahaha, that must be very funny." Xiaoli laughed so hard that she fell over.

Finally, the customer service told Xiaoli that there might be a problem with the nearby network line and it would take some time to repair.

"It seems like we can't watch the movie today." Ji Xiao said regretfully.

"It's okay, we can find something else to do." Ozawa suggested, "Like playing board games or cards."

"Good idea!" everyone responded.

So they turned off the TV, took out the cards, and started a joyful game of cards.

They were hungry at night, so they made a midnight snack. After eating, they continued to play for a while. Ji Xiao felt sleepy, so she took Fu Shiqi back to rest.

In this way, Ji Xiao took Fu Shiqi to eat, drink and play at home, and time passed. During this period, when it rained, Ji Xiao did not take Fu Shiqi out, and the two stayed on the third floor reading.

The rain outside the window was dripping, wetting the glass and blurring the vision. Ji Xiao and Fu Shiqi sat in front of the window, quietly watching the rain outside the window, enjoying the tranquility after the rain.

"This world is so beautiful." Ji Xiao said with emotion.

"Yes, as long as we feel it with our heart, we can always discover the beauty in life." Fu Shiqi echoed.
