Night Blindness

"A Si? What are you doing?"

Qi Wang put down the documents in his hands and walked over to Qi Si in confusion, wanting to see what on the computer had his younger brother so engrossed.

When he stopped beside Qi Si and saw the screen, Qi Wang's mind went blank.

"You're..."

"Playing Minesweeper!" Qi Si's eyes never left the screen, his tone excited. "Bro, your work computer actually has Minesweeper! Isn't that awesome?"

His computer didn't have it!

Qi Wang's mouth twitched. Forgive him for not understanding what was so awesome about having Minesweeper on a computer.

Wasn't it a little game that came preinstalled on every computer?

"Yeah, it's always been there. I've never played it."

"My computer doesn't have it. This game is so fun! Bro, teach me how to install it. I want one too!"

Seeing that Qi Si was completely serious, Qi Wang was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Generally speaking, it should come preinstalled on computers."

"Huh? Really?"

Qi Si stared at the few remaining squares on the screen, hesitated for a moment, then chose one he thought definitely wouldn't contain a mine.

The moment he uncovered it, it exploded.

Game over.

Qi Si regretfully released the mouse and looked at Qi Wang, who was standing beside him.

"Why can't I find it on my computer?"

Leaning against the desk, Qi Wang looked down at his younger brother with a smile. "Your system version is too new. You need to download it from the system before it'll show up."

"I see." Qi Si understood.

He considered himself fairly good with computers. He had played quite a few computer games, and his skills weren't bad.

But when it came to system functions and the like, he only knew a little.

Aside from games and various basic office applications, he knew practically nothing else.

"Then help me get Minesweeper on my computer later."

"Sure. Are you hungry? I'll take you out for a feast." Qi Wang turned to get his coat.

Qi Si froze for a moment and glanced at the time on the computer. Without realizing it, it was already past six.

He immediately sprang to his feet. "Let's go!"

A photo of the brothers leaving the company side by side was secretly taken by an employee downstairs and posted in the company slacking-off group chat.

[This damn job is impossible to work another day: Holy crap! Is that the big boss and the young master? Since when have they been this harmonious?]

[Coffee keeps me alive: Didn't they have a fight at the company a few days ago? They made up that fast?]

[Money is hard to earn: The young master probably needs something from Chairman Qi again. Isn't it always like this? When he needs something, it's "brother"; when he doesn't, it's "get lost."]

[I want to taste the bitterness of love: Is it because of that thing with Lin Weiwei? I saw it still hanging on the trending searches this morning!]

[This damn job is impossible to work another day: Now I'm not sleepy anymore! The young master actually embarrassed Lin Weiwei in public? Is that for real? Don't tell me it was some scripted stunt with Lin Weiwei for the show?]

[I love work, I love overtime (pah): Are you stupid? Other than showing that Lin Weiwei is greedy and has been stringing the young master along, and that the young master used to be an idiot, what else could this script possibly show?]

[The boss is so handsome!: Fuck! You're amazing! You actually dared to call the young master an idiot?]

[I love work, I love overtime (pah): What's there to fear? The boss isn't in this group.]

[I also want an older brother who dotes on his younger brother: I'll bet that in a few days, the young master will be stirring up trouble again!]

[Zhou Zhi (Chairman's Secretary): (smile)]

[I also want an older brother who dotes on his younger brother: ?!!! Fuck! Who invited him in?!]

[Zhou Zhi (Executive Assistant): It seems everyone's workload can be increased as appropriate.]

[I love work, I love overtime: Ah, so busy, so busy! I have to work overtime again tonight. Executive Assistant, I think my workload is a little too heavy. Could you reduce it a bit? (cute)]

[Zhou Zhi (Chairman's Secretary): (smile)]

[I love work, I love overtime: Understood. Sorry to bother you. (rolls away smoothly)]

Zhou Zhi looked at the slacking-off group chat, which had instantly fallen silent, and put away his phone expressionlessly.

As for the people in the group, everyone had the same question in their hearts.

Who had invited that living nightmare into the group?!

The person who had accidentally added him with a slip of the hand was curled up at their desk, trembling with fear that if the truth came out, their coworkers would beat them to death.

Qi Si followed Qi Wang to the parking lot. Qi Wang asked, "Where's your car?"

"I didn't drive. I took a cab here."

Qi Wang nodded and opened the car door. "That saves some trouble. Get in."

"Hehe."

Qi Si got into his brother's car. Could he say that he hadn't driven precisely because it would save trouble?

Otherwise, they would be taking two cars just to go out for a meal, and they would have to find an extra parking space too.

"Have you decided what you want to eat?"

"Bro, I heard hairy crabs are especially plump lately?" Qi Si hinted wildly.

Qi Wang chuckled. "Fine. Then we'll have hairy crabs."

As long as Qi Si wasn't causing trouble, Qi Wang usually granted whatever he asked for.

By the time they arrived at the restaurant, it was already nearly seven.

The sky outside had gone completely dark.

The lights in the underground parking garage passage leading to the elevators were rather dim. Qi Si's vision was obstructed, and his footsteps instinctively slowed.

"What's wrong?" Qi Wang turned back and asked.

Qi Si squinted as he looked ahead. "I can't see very well. Bro, help me out."

"Are you nearsighted?" Qi Wang turned back and held onto Qi Si.

"No. Night blindness."

Qi Wang froze and looked at Qi Si in confusion. "Since when did you have night blindness?"

As far as he remembered, Qi Si hadn't had this problem before.

Qi Si froze.

What did that mean? The original owner didn't have night blindness?

He himself had always had it, and it was congenital.

After waking up in this world, the condition seemed to have come with him, so he had subconsciously assumed that the original owner had the same problem.

But Qi Wang's reaction clearly showed that the original owner had not suffered from night blindness.

After hesitating for a moment, Qi Si frowned. "I don't know either. I suddenly realized I can't see at night."

Qi Wang's heart tightened at that.

"I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow."

Night blindness was not particularly serious and didn't affect daily life too much.

But Qi Wang was worried it might be an eye condition caused by something else.

"Okay."

Fortunately, the dim stretch of road was not very long. Once they entered the elevator lobby, the lights brightened, and Qi Si's vision returned.

Qi Si released Qi Wang's hand. "I don't think it's a big problem. At worst, I just won't go anywhere that's pitch-dark at night."

Qi Wang said nothing, but his tightly furrowed brows did not relax.

It was not until the elevator reached their floor that Qi Wang spoke worriedly. "Could it be caused by your headaches? They still haven't found out what caused your headaches when you were hospitalized this time."

They had done every examination they could, but the results showed that there was nothing wrong with his head.

But if everything was normal, how could he have suddenly been in so much pain that he fainted?

Qi Si paused, not expecting his brother to still be thinking about it.

"Probably not? Bro, don't overthink it. We'll get checked again at the hospital tomorrow. Come on, come on, let's go eat hairy crabs!"

Qi Wang looked at his carefree younger brother. He wanted to scold him a little, but couldn't bear to.

In the end, he could only temporarily suppress his emotions and lead Qi Si into the restaurant where he had reserved a table.
