Chapter 110 Covering the quilt with pure chat

Jiufang Yu picked up the thin book and flipped through it casually. The yellowed pages turned like an accordion, rustling past his fingertips.

Since this was an important item of the Qi family, Jiu Fangyu did not look at it carefully. He quickly glanced at it and politely put the book back on the table. "Where did you find it?"

"Uncle Lin Sen's chef certificate is on the back of the card." Qi Huan repeated to Jiu Fangyu how Rondo had returned his chef certificate to him a few days ago and how he had accidentally discovered this booklet just now.

"They couldn't find it. It must be that Rondo accidentally took the chef's certificate before them." The Qi family must have sent people to the Renjian Restaurant to look for it before.

"Maybe it's hidden too well." Jiufang Yu sneered and shook his head.

The Qi family is looking for someone from the Waste Star. They may not have anything to scan, so they may just have to rely on hard searching. The chef certificate must have been hung in the most conspicuous place in the restaurant, which could easily become a blind spot for searching. They can inform the secretary that they don't need to search the ruins of the restaurant in the human world anymore. They went there twice before, but found nothing after scanning.

Zhou Qi Ba finished his portion, and seeing that Qi Huan and Jiu Fang Yu had stopped eating, he squatted at the corner of the table, staring at the plates in front of them. Qi Huan was amused by his straightforward and fiery eyes, and gave him half of each portion, "Uncle Lin Sen is really good at hiding things."

The little guy happily rubbed his arm with his head and started eating happily again.

"In that case, he has also seen this cookbook?"

"I guess so," Qi Huan put down the spoon and nodded, "The signature dishes of Renjian Restaurant actually come from this cookbook."

"So what are your plans now?" Jiufang Yu wanted to find out what Qi Huan was thinking now.

"I don't know either." Qi Huan sighed and rubbed his forehead in distress. Although this cookbook should indeed belong to the Qi family and could even be considered a family heirloom, it was after all something left by Qi Qing. It might even be the only thing related to Qi Qing that he could get here. He really couldn't bear to return it to the Qi family.

But he had no way to explain the reason to Jiufang Yu. He had previously said nonchalantly that he was not interested in anything from the Qi family. Now that the time had come, he suddenly couldn't bear to part with the cookbook. Wouldn't that be too embarrassing?

Or using the excuse of the last dream, simply say that Qi Qing is the sister in the dream?

Before Qi Huan could figure out how to justify himself, Jiufang Yu said directly, "If that's the case, just take it first. It won't be too late to make a decision after you think it through."

Hei Tuanzi devoured the second plate in no time and continued to squat obediently, looking at Qi Huan and Jiu Fangyu eagerly. It was such a waste that these two people didn't eat all the delicious food on the table!

Qi Huan couldn't stand Heituanzi's gaze and dialed some more.

"Don't you think I should return the recipe to the Qi family?" He was glad that he could get Qi Qing's things as a direct heir, but he didn't want to take on the responsibility of the Qi family. It was hard work and thankless. He only liked things related to food, simple and pure. However, he still needed to think of a way to balance and compensate the rest of the Qi family.

Jiufang Yu shook his head. "There is no mention of the Qi Family Recipe on it. Before it is sent for identification, everything is just speculation. Moreover, you are the direct heir of this generation, so there is nothing wrong with you keeping it for a while."

As for how long to keep it, we’ll talk about it later.

"Or else, let's just withdraw the lawsuit against the Qi family and not sue them anymore." Qi Huan clenched and unclenched his hands on the table, over and over again, hesitating.

For his sister's sake, he should probably let those people off and give them a chance to mend their ways. Besides, the recipe was real, and he had partially misunderstood them in the past.

"You don't have to feel guilty about this. If they want the recipe, they can just come to you and talk about it openly. The fact that they do such shady things in secret proves that they have evil intentions and have never intended to take the right path from the beginning. If we don't teach them a lesson to serve as a warning to others, the rest of them may become even more restless." Jiufang Yu disagreed with him withdrawing the lawsuit. The current head of the family might not be the only one with bad intentions, so he couldn't be soft-hearted at this time.

"But..." Qi Huan's lips moved, but he didn't know how to explain. If those people were Qi Qing's descendants, then they were also half of his descendants. Compared to him, the generation of the Qi family might be much lower than that of Po Ren. He upgraded out of thin air, adding a super 'generation'. What's even funnier is that he became the ancestor of his current body, which is really absurd when he thinks about it.

"If you are really worried, you can wait until this matter is over and see how they behave. Observe for a while before considering other things."

"Okay then." Qi Huan nodded. His mind was in a mess and he couldn't think carefully. Jiufang Yu considered things much more carefully than he did, so it would be right to listen to him.

After the meal, Qi Huan and Jiu Fangyu didn't eat much, only Zhou Ba's belly became rounder.

The two walked back to the starship and prepared to go back to their rooms. Qi Huan reluctantly handed the black ball out of his arms and was about to give it back to Jiu Fangyu, but the other shook his head and said, "Let it sleep with you tonight."

"Really?" Qi Huan's dark eyes and Hei Tuanzi's golden eyes lit up at the same time.

Unable to bear the same gazes from everyone, Jiufang Yu looked away uncomfortably and cleared his throat, "I will block out the empathy."

"Long live the Star Lord!" Qi Huan turned around and ran back holding the black ball, fearing that Jiu Fangyu would regret it if he was a second late.

Back in the room, Qi Huan excitedly carried Zhouqiba to bed.

He tossed and turned while holding the black ball in his arms. The little guy lay in his arms, resting his chin on his arm softly and affectionately, as obedient as a doll.

But when the surroundings became quiet, all kinds of fragments of my childhood memories with Qi Qing came uncontrollably to my mind. My heart felt like it was filled with a lot of things, so swollen and uncomfortable, and I really wanted to find someone to talk to.

"Thank goodness you're here." Qi Huan gently kissed the black ball on the top of his head. If he were alone, he would be unable to sleep, missing his family so much that he might cry again.

At that moment, he suddenly realized a problem and sat up abruptly.

He also cried when he was cooking those dishes just now. From the perspective of discovering the recipes, his behavior was very strange. Jiufang Yu clearly saw it, but didn't mention it or ask anything.

Something was wrong. Something was very wrong.

Could it be that Jiufang Yu already knows about his relationship with Qi Qing?

Would Jiufang Yu guess that he was resurrected through a corpse?

That's impossible. Even he himself didn't expect such a thing to happen.

What should I do? Should I go to Jiufang Yu to find out what he has to say?

Qi Huan jumped off the bed and anxiously held Zhouqiba in his arms and walked around the room in circles. Hei Tuanzi blinked his bright eyes, not understanding what was wrong with him.

"No, it's even harder to sleep like this. Let's go talk to the one in your family." Qi Huan sighed and touched the black ball's soft and smooth fur twice.

Just like what I thought while eating just now, I will use the excuse of the dream last time. If it doesn’t work, I will tell him everything, as long as he is not afraid.

It just so happened that he was feeling very depressed and wanted to talk to someone about his sister. After thinking about it, Jiufang Yu was the most suitable person.

[Check further on the Qi family, especially the first generation, to see if you can find more data. Urgent, I'll pay you three times.]

The survey data on the Qi family that he got did not provide much information about the first generation. It only said that more than four hundred years ago, the capable ancestor of the Qi family who started the business was named Qi Qing.

【Don't worry, I won't sleep tonight. 】

Jiufang Yu had just finished contacting someone and closed the dialog box when there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, it was Qi Huan holding Xingqiba.

As soon as the door opened, Qi Huan raised the black ball and shook it towards the Star Lord like a puppet, "Excuse me, could you please come in and sit for a while?"

"Please come in." Jiufang Yu was a little puzzled and stepped aside to make way.

"A-choo!" Qi Huan came out without putting on a coat. The temperature in the corridor was slightly lower than that in the room. He sneezed as soon as he entered the door. He turned his head and looked around, and finally decisively took away the quilt on the bed.

The space in the small starship was limited. Even though Jiufang's room was the largest, it was only at the level of a hotel's high-end executive room - a study and living room were set up with furniture such as desks and sofas, but in fact, the distance from the bed to the farthest desk was only a dozen steps.

Jiufang Yu watched Qi Huan carry the quilt to the sofa, then spread it out like a blanket and wrapped himself in it. He was a little confused about what he wanted to do.

"Why are you standing there? Come and sit down." Qi Huan reached out and patted the sofa next to him, and moved half of the quilt over to him, indicating that half of the quilt was for him. "Come, let's just chat under the quilt tonight."

The black ball was nestled on Qi Huan's knees through the quilt, a furry ball.

Jiufang Yu certainly didn't understand the joke about covering himself with a quilt just for chatting, but he was very familiar with the mischievous smile on Qi Huan's lips. Whenever he showed this expression, his mind was full of weird ideas.

"Hurry up." Qi Huan urged.

Forget it, just let him do as he pleases. Jiufang Yu sighed lightly, "Would you like some wine?"

"Okay." Qi Huan nodded like pecking at rice.

Jiufang Yu brought out a few cans of fruit wine, placed them on the coffee table, and sat down next to Qi Huan.

Qi Huan diligently helped him cover himself with the corner of the quilt, "Don't get cold."

Jiufang Yu: ...

"I'm really feeling uncomfortable tonight, please chat with me." Qi Huan stroked Xingqi's fur, still with a faint smile on his face, but the smile was inexplicably empty and sad.

"Okay." Jiufang Yu's heart trembled, his jaw moved slightly, and he opened a can of fruit wine and handed it over.

The familiar cool and refreshing metal enveloped Qi Huan, who immediately felt relieved. He held the can and took a big sip. "Do you remember the dream I told you about in the medical cabin?"

"Remember, you said that in your dream you turned into a person with the same name as yourself, and that person was a chef." Jiufang Yu also took a sip. He had excellent five senses, and he could memorize everything he heard and had a photographic memory. Of course, it was impossible for him to forget this incident.

Qi Huan held the wine can and looked up at the brushed metal roof. "That man has a sister named Qi Qing."

Jiufang Yu's pupils trembled slightly and he looked at Qi Huan in surprise.

Previous data did not indicate that Qi Qing had a younger brother.

"Although they quarreled with each other, they had a very good relationship, just like you and Madam Jiufang."

Jiu Fangyu suppressed his surprise and shook the can in his hand, "Did she beat her brother too?"

"Beat her, of course, but she doesn't have much strength in her hands, so it doesn't hurt. Most of the time, all you need to do is to beg for mercy and he will relent."

"If you hit me too hard, I'll probably cry first."

"That's right. She was the one who hit others, but in the end, others had to turn around and comfort her."

The two younger brothers transcended time and space, stood on the same front line at this moment, and started the complaining mode.

As the two drank and talked, Qi Huan said almost everything that had been held in his heart, and he felt much better.

Qi Huan crushed the empty can in his hand and buried his face in his arms to hide his red eyes. "Sometimes I really hope that those people are still here, still alive, so that at least I won't be alone."

Jiufang Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the soft vortex on the top of Qi Huan's head, his heart also felt sour and unbearable because of his words.

He really wanted to hug the frail body in front of him and tell him that no matter what happened in the future, he would always be there.

But he can't make such a promise now.

[You self-righteous bastard, arbitrary tyrant, can't you just ask for my opinion? ]

The two words that Qi Huan used to scold him last time suddenly rang in his ears. Jiufang Yu frowned, looked at Qi Huan in front of him, hesitated for a moment, silently stroked his white jade ring, and took out another identical ring from it. In this case, he should give him the right to choose this time.

"Huanhuan." Jiufang Yu gently touched his arm. Qi Huan raised his head and saw a white jade ring as thin as cream, smooth and lustrous, exactly the same as the one Jiufang Yu often wore on his index finger.

Qi Huan looked at Jiufang Yu in surprise. What did that mean?

"You know, there aren't many people in my family. In addition to Si Liang, Jiu Fang Yu, and a brother-in-law. You've already met Si Liang and my sister. My sister-in-law is also very nice. If you're willing," Jiu Fang Yu paused, and the index finger and thumb holding the ring turned slightly white, "They can all become your family members and will treat you well. I promise."

"Are you proposing to me?" Qi Huan was not sure if he had misunderstood Jiufang Yu's meaning.

"Engagement." Jiufang Yu corrected solemnly, "You are not yet an adult, and according to the rules of the alliance, you cannot talk about marriage."

"OK." Qi Huan quickly snatched the white jade ring from Jiu Fangyu's hand and put it on his index finger. The soft luster of the white jade set off his slender white fingers, and the color was harmonious and just right.

Jiu Fangyu was caught off guard and his hands were empty. He said quickly, "Wait a minute, I haven't finished talking about my physical condition..."

Qi Huan put his hand over his mouth and said, "Don't say anything that would spoil the mood at a time like this."

"But……"

I told you, don't spoil the mood! Qi Huan pulled his hand away, raised his head, and sealed it with a kiss.

The soft and warm touch between his lips made Jiufang Yu's pupils tremble slightly. Half a second later, he gently lowered his eyelashes and stretched out his hands to hug the person in front of him tightly. The tip of his tongue with the sweet smell of fruit wine flexibly pried open Qi Huan's lips and teeth, hooked his shy tongue, and gently and forcefully took back the initiative. Qi Huan's mind "boomed", as if thousands of white fireworks exploded at the same time, white light flowed, dizzy, and instantly forgot everything.

The next morning, everyone was surprised to see Qi Huan coming out of Jiufang Yu's room rubbing his waist.

"Don't get me wrong. I just drank and chatted with Jiu Fangyu until too late yesterday, and ended up sleeping on the sofa." Qi Huan realized the problem belatedly and explained to everyone, "The place is too cramped, and it makes my waist hurt."

Everyone nodded and agreed soullessly, "Yes, yes, sleeping on the sofa will cause back pain."

Qi Huan: ...

Forget it, image and such, you’ll get used to it after it’s broken into pieces.

Anyway, I have already accepted Jiufang Yu's ring, so any misunderstanding won't go too far, so I'd better not waste my energy on it.

Only Jiufang Yan smiled when he looked at the white jade ring on Qi Huan's hand. Brat, you finally got smart for once.

On the other side, Jiu Fangyu in the room was typing in front of the message window, [Get ready, I want to take Qi Huan to visit Qi's family in a few days. ]
