Chapter Sixty-Two: Calm

Who is it?

He was an old man who had been sent to the countryside.

Gu Zuozuo frowned. This place wasn't close to the cowshed; there was a youth settlement in between. What was he doing here?

After coaxing the child who was clinging to her for a while, Gu Zuozuo said goodbye to the Ma couple and left with a basket full of things.

"Gu Zhiqing?"

Xie Changzheng, wearing a tattered cotton-padded coat, waited under the big tree. When she came out, an awkward expression flashed across his face. If it weren't for that brat's request, he would never have done something like blocking someone like this.

"Comrade Xie, is there something you need?"

Seeing that she didn't look well, Xie Changzheng didn't say much, but simply handed her the letter in his hand.

"This is what Jinyu left for you."

After taking the letter, Gu Zuozuo opened it and read it quickly. She then chuckled and handed the letter back to Xie Changzheng.

"I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip. I'm not familiar with Comrade Xie. Please return the letter to him."

After saying that, Gu Zuozuo bowed slightly, nodded, and walked past him back to the educated youth settlement.

"Host, what did the letter say?"

The system was incredibly curious, its neck stretched out as far as it could go, but without the host's permission, it couldn't peek at the host's letters. How anxious it was!

"It's just some apology, what's so interesting about it?"

If apologies were effective, what would be the point of having police? The original owner is already dead, what's the use of saying these things? She won't come back to life.

[Host, you really have no interest in him? He's so handsome!]

Gu Zuozuo narrowed her eyes in disgust, almost wanting to throw the system out.

"What are you doing, an AI? What? The sign-in system has been changed into a matchmaking system? When? How come I didn't know?"

The system is speechless =_=!

All it said was "handsome." Is it really that big of a deal?

"Chirp chirp~"

The little fox, who had been sleeping soundly in Gu Zuozuo's arms, peeked out with a still-dazed little head.

"Awake? Perfect timing."

Before the little fox could react, it was thrown into the warm water with a splash.

"Chirp!"

"Stop squeaking. Look how dirty you are. Anyone who didn't know better would think you just came back from the pilgrimage. Even Pigsy wasn't as filthy as you."

The little fox clung to the edge of the large basin. Its once fluffy fur became wet, revealing its thin, bony frame.

"Oh, she's just a young girl."

She's too thin; she needs to eat more.

After washing it several times, I finally turned it from a gray fox into a white fox and handed it over to the side to await the arrival of the New Year.

Xin Chun held the little fox's tiny body in one hand, while her other arm became a silent hairdryer, blowing the little fox's fur.

"Albino red fox?"

Why does it look like a dog? But it's incredibly cute.

After drying its fur, the fox turned into a fluffy little ball, so cute that Gu Zuozuo grew quite fond of it. Who wouldn't like a fox?
