Chapter 123 Reporting Safety
Qi Yuanyou was also listless; he was hungry.
He nodded: "Yes, it's tiring, but we'll get used to it. Once we achieve our goal, it will be time for us to be unrestrained and enjoy our freedom."
He's been eating very little meat lately, and he still has to work during the day. Many times he's given up on losing weight, but when he thinks of Qin Jin'an, he inexplicably sticks to it.
But every time they met in their dreams, faced with her antics, he no longer ran away or hid. He simply lay down, letting her pinch him, knead him, or lie down whenever she wanted.
Surprisingly, Qin Jin'an also lost his energy for playing around, and for a moment Qi Yuanyou found them to be quite in sync.
He couldn't help but smile as he thought about it.
"Then I'd better hurry up, I want to go home for the Chinese New Year as soon as possible."
Qin Jin'an thought about the New Year and felt confident that he could handle things.
"Yuanyuan, you're amazing! You've actually lost four pounds! You managed to resist eating. You're so great! If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to resist. I would definitely sneak a bite, just like Baidian. I gave it jerky so it would eat it when it got hungry in the middle of the night, but it just grabbed it and started gnawing on it. It kept gnawing on it even after it was full. It promised me it would eat it in the middle of the night, but it has no self-control at all!"
After venting his frustrations, Qin Jin'an began to praise Qi Yuanyou.
She mentioned the white spots, expressing deep disdain.
A bad dog that doesn't keep its promises.
"I...I'm not that good..."
Qi Yuanyou slowed his breathing because he felt guilty. He didn't really have much self-control; he had sneaked a little food today. Hearing the praise, he felt deeply regretful and made up his mind never to sneak food again.
"Yes, you are amazing! You're incredibly talented, you know so much, you're beautiful, smart... and you're so good to me."
Qin Jin'an carefully counted, and Qi Yuanyou was the first person besides her mother and maternal grandfather's family to treat her well.
They both came from the realm of gods, but unfortunately, Qi Yuanyou didn't know that he was supposed to be a god.
But that didn't stop her from taking extra care of him.
"Yu Bao, you're amazing too. You're not even five years old yet, and you can handle so many things on your own..."
Qi Yuanyou blushed as he praised Qin Jin'an.
Qin Jin'an yawned: "I got some good fortune from Jin Gui and Jin Bao today, and I feel much better. To get healthy sooner, I will definitely play the role of a dummy well!"
She deceived the Su family until she got everything that belonged to her back.
"Yuanyuan, you can do it too! Just lose 50 pounds, and you'll grow bigger every year, so don't get too thin..."
Qin Jin'an yawned again, thinking that if someone was too thin, there wouldn't be any meat on their bones to pinch.
"Yes, I will definitely try my best and not let Yu Bao down! Yu Bao, go to sleep now."
He was motivated to persevere again. Girls all liked tall and thin men. He wasn't bad-looking; he was just overweight. He hoped that when he found her, he would be at his best.
Qin Jin'an was unaware of Qi Yuanyou's thoughts; she was already fast asleep.
——
As dawn broke, Bai Diandian was already yelling at Qin Jin'an from inside the house.
"Woof woof woof—"
"Master, wake up and let me know you're safe—"
Bai Diandian remembered her responsibilities, so she reminded Qin Jin'an early on.
Qin Jin'an got up, then found paper and pen, drew a fish, folded it up, put it in a bamboo tube, and handed it to Bai Diandian.
Hold the white dot in your mouth and bite it.
"Great, go find Mom and Grandpa."
Qin Jin'an hugged Bai Diandian's head and kissed her.
White Dots wagged its tail happily and immediately ran off.
Its mouth was tightly closed, its dark eyes gleaming with intelligence. It slipped through the dog hole and out of the alley, heading straight for South Street.
It was Qin Tianhai who brought it here, so it already knew the way well.
Once at the stall, it sat obediently, spat the thumb-sized bamboo tube from its mouth onto the ground, and made a "whoosh" sound.
Qin Tianhai picked it up with a smile. He reached out and rubbed the white dot's head, then patted its round belly: "Good dog."
Qin Tianhai opened the paper and smiled as he looked at the fish on it.
Qin was relieved.
Qin Tianhai used his brush to draw two water ripples around the fish, because how could a fish live without water?
With water, the fish can swim smoothly.
He folded the paper again, put it back in, and handed it back to Bai Diandian. Qin Tianhai said, "Good dog, go back to your master."
With a bamboo tube in its mouth, Baidian couldn't make a sound. It looked up and rubbed against Qin Tianhai's palm before turning and running away into the crowd.
"Don't worry, everything is going well. Don't be too concerned. White Spot is a good dog. You also need to take good care of your work."
Qin Tianhai said gently to the Qin family that they had contacted the village chief again yesterday and bought several plots of land with a large sum of money, and the construction of the workshop was also put on the agenda.
The two shops on South Street will also begin to be repaired.
Madam Qin nodded: "Okay."
She will try her best.
Qin Tianhai was reassured. He copied the book for a while, then got up to take care of his business.
Liu Yun was a very good person; she didn't fire him because of his relationship with the Su family. He remembered this kindness. Liu Yun had a wide network of connections, and he wanted to ask her to find out some information.
The Su family's business is so large that it's impossible for them not to have rivals.
Today is the day Liu Yun comes to the library.
Qin Tianhai specifically chose this day to come.
Liu Yun greeted Qin Tianhai with a smile, "Qin Tianhai, how have you been lately?"
Qin Tianhai showed no signs of dejection, which Liu Yun admired. After all, with so many things and pressures, he hadn't lost heart at all, which was quite remarkable.
Calm and composed, a person who can keep their composure is halfway to success.
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Liu. I'm doing quite well lately."
Qin Tianhai answered politely.
He took out the transcribed book.
Liu Yun took it and looked at it, feeling very satisfied: "Your handwriting is really good."
"Brother Liu, I have a favor to ask of you. If you are willing to help, I will not charge you a penny for the copying I do over the next six months."
Qin Tianhai spoke up at the opportune moment, expressing his request and sincerity.
Liu Yun became serious and said, "Qin Tianhai, we've known each other for a long time. Just tell me, I'll help if I can, but if I can't, then I can't agree to it."
"Brother Liu has many friends. I would like to ask Brother Liu to help me find out who has a grudge against the Su family in the cloth and leather business, preferably someone with whom they have a blood feud."
Qin Tianhai cupped his hands in greeting, his expression sincere.
If Liu Jun agrees, he and his daughter can avoid many detours.
"Is it enough to just investigate the people you have a grudge against and then tell you?"
Liu Yun looked at Qin Tianhai and asked him again.
Qin Tianhai nodded.
Liu Yun then said, "Qin Tianhai, the Su family is backed by the Marquis of Anping. It's not a big deal for me to investigate for you, but don't make me deal with them afterwards. Otherwise, we can't be friends anymore. I'm just helping you with this small favor. If you lose, you can't drag me into it."
Find out who you have a grudge against. It's not difficult to do, but we need to be upfront about the unpleasant aspects.
Qin Tianhai said solemnly, "Heaven and earth bear witness that if anything happens to me, I will never implicate Brother Liu in the slightest. Otherwise, may I never have peace for all eternity."
Liu Yun looked into Qin Tianhai's eyes, and he nodded: "Okay, I agree. I also believe you're not that kind of person. I won't say anything more. I hope you succeed."
