The next day, Helian Shi came out of Chu Qianjin's room, and everyone who saw him remained calm, without a trace of strangeness.
At least that's how it is in front of Chu Qianjin.
But where he couldn't see, Lu Qing had already secretly started shipping the two characters and even shared it with her friends.
Leng Wei has even started writing a fanfiction about the two of them as a couple.
This article was reposted in their dormitory group, and Lu Qing secretly became quite the fan.
Finally, one day, Helian Shizhong noticed that Lu Qing was watching him and Chu Qianjin from time to time, grinning foolishly, with a slightly lewd smile.
So, taking advantage of Lu Qing's inattention, he opened her phone.
Then I saw the novel being shared in the group: "The Overbearing Prince and His Hostage Husband".
With questions in mind, Helian Shi opened the novel. At first, the content was quite normal, just about his and Chu Qianjin's past life.
But as you read on, the plot changes, and the phone screen emits a warm yellow light, just like the content of the novel.
When Lu Qing realized her phone was missing and went back to look for it, she saw Helian Shi looking at her phone intently.
Lu Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly tried to snatch it:
"Helian Shi, give me back my phone!"
Helian Shi immediately raised his phone with one hand and pressed Lu Qing's head down with the other:
Who wrote this?
Lu Qing's expression stiffened for a moment, then she put on a fawning smile:
"Brother, I swear! I definitely didn't write this! I was just looking at it!"
Helian Shi laughed: "Well written, let her continue. I'll reward her handsomely if she finishes!"
Lu Qing was completely confused: "Huh?? You're not angry?"
Helian Shi: "It's very well written, and many of the things in it should be quite practical, so why should I be angry?"
Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and leaned closer with a smile to ask:
"I have the complete collection here. If you want it, you can trade it for something, and I can even get Leng Wei to continue writing it for you!"
Helian Shi raised an eyebrow: "What do you want?"
Lu Qing chuckled: "I accept anything, as long as it's good."
Helian Shi casually tossed out a large bag of miscellaneous items:
"Take whatever you want from here, but give me the whole series!"
Lu Qing rummaged through the bag of odds and ends, her eyes growing brighter with each rummage:
"Dragon bone, phoenix marrow, spirit deer antler, eight-treasure spiritual root water..."
"Goodness! Brother, you have so many good things, why didn't you take them out sooner?"
Helian Shi: "You didn't ask me! Besides, I have a bad memory. I can only find out where these things are by looking at my notes."
After Lu Qing accepted the gifts, he immediately gave him all the CP (couple) fanfics written by Leng Wei.
"Oh right! I have another book here that I abandoned. Leng Wei thought the plot was too... well, let's just say it was too bad, so she passed on it. I should be able to find it in my deleted records."
Helian Shi's eyes flickered slightly: "I want it! I want everything she wrote!"
"Okay! I'll find it for you right away!"
For these treasures, Lu Qing sold Chu Qianjin in such a charming way.
Helian Shi would study the articles during the day and offer suggestions from time to time, and then he would spend his evenings putting the content of the novel into practice.
This resulted in Chu Qianjin not getting up until late morning every day, leaving her completely exhausted.
Lu Qing had both gotten a treasure and recovered her health. All she did every day was eat, sleep, and have Gu Xicheng accompany her on her walks around.
After a year of holidays, Lu Qing, who never used to gain weight no matter how much she ate, actually gained five pounds, and her face became rounder.
Lu Qing clearly felt her body was becoming heavier, which frightened her so much that she got up early and used the energy of heaven and earth to circulate the Qi within her body.
More than an hour later, I felt that the Qi in my body had metabolized some of the waste before I stopped.
But she still had a "spare tire" around her stomach.
Lu Qing sighed, pinching the fat on her stomach, then said indignantly:
"It's all Helian Shi's fault! He wouldn't let me move the Qi in my body, which made me gain so much weight!"
Gu Xicheng didn't mind at all; the flesh felt strangely comfortable to squeeze. As long as it didn't affect his health, it didn't matter if it grew a little longer.
"Let's go have breakfast after practice. Grandma made braised pork trotters noodles this morning. She started stewing them last night, and I just checked. They're so tender they're falling off the bone. They're sure to be delicious!"
Lu Qing's mouth watered at the thought, but she was worried about gaining weight from eating too much, so she shook her head repeatedly.
"No, no, no! Pig's trotters are all fat; I'll get even fatter if I eat them!"
Gu Xicheng: "It's okay! This kind of weight gain isn't something that happens overnight. Just eat as much as you want. After you finish, I'll go for a walk with you to help you digest."
Lu Qing: "Really?"
Gu Xicheng nodded seriously: "Really! If it doesn't work, we can practice a little longer!"
Lu Qing: "Then let's go eat pig's trotters!"
Gu Xicheng: "Okay!"
In the end, Lu Qing couldn't resist the temptation of braised pig's trotters and ate a whole big bowl of them, leaving a small mountain of bones piled up beside him.
After finishing his meal, Lu Qing slumped back in his chair, rubbing his stomach.
"I'm so full!"
Gu Xicheng smiled, his expression full of affection:
"Rest for a bit, then get up and I'll walk with you to help you digest!"
"Okay!" Lu Qing nodded, said something to Chu Panshan and Han Ziyuan, and then went out.
The snow on the road had been cleared, but this period after the snowfall was the coldest. Lu Qing, wrapped in a down jacket and having eaten a full meal, walked exceptionally slowly.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two suddenly heard a series of curses coming from a nearby house.
Lu Qing looked closely and saw that it was Li Shiwan and Qiao Lanru's home.
The two appeared to be arguing. Li Shiwan walked out of the house, cursing and swearing, holding a knife in his hand.
"You old beast, you deserve it if your son disowns you!"
"Let me tell you, in this house, I can do whatever I want, and it's none of your business to tell me what to do!"
Lu Qing frowned slightly, and was about to go over to check on the situation when Qiao Lanru walked out shakily:
"Li Shiwan! You...you give me back my things!"
"That can't be sold! It can't be sold!"
Li Shiwan spat in Qiao Lanru's direction, then threw away the knife and continued walking out.
He spotted Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng as soon as he got on the road.
He paused for a moment, then instinctively put on a smiling face:
"Isn't this Brother Chu's granddaughter and grandson-in-law? What are you doing standing here in this freezing weather!"
Lu Qing did not answer him, but only glanced in Qiao Lanru's direction.
Before she could ask, Li Shiwan hurriedly explained:
"Young lady, don't misunderstand. My husband and I are just like that. We bicker every now and then, but we're fine in a little while!"
Lu Qing looked at the knife he had thrown down and asked:
"Does arguing require resorting to knives?"
"Um..."
Li Shiwan smiled, then hurriedly walked over and kicked the knife away a bit:
"It wasn't because we were arguing and got really heated that I just grabbed it without thinking, but I didn't actually hurt her!"
"If I really made a move, would she still be alive and well right now?"
At this moment, Qiao Lanru also strolled up to Lu Qing and said with a smile:
"Granddaughter, I'm sorry you had to see this! Your Uncle Li and I just had a little argument, it's nothing!"
"He has a quick temper, and when we argue, he likes to touch something to scare people, but he never actually lays a hand on them."
Previously, Helian Shi had stopped Lu Qing from looking at Qiao Lanru's face, but now that Lu Qing was better, he couldn't help but take a closer look.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qing's expression changed.
