Chapter 6 It's because I look harmless that people believe whatever I say.
The next day, it was still pitch black outside the window.
Lu Nange called out "Yes, yes" twice, but received no response, confirming that the check-in system was functioning correctly.
Only then did he feel relieved enough to carefully and methodically take out the supplies from his system inventory.
The kitchen cabinets were crammed full, and every compartment of the refrigerator was fully utilized, with all kinds of ingredients neatly arranged.
Then, I placed the snacks, the sign-in rewards, and other durable foods in the living room and piano room.
After finishing all that, she immediately started organizing her and Lu Beiye's clothes.
Fold the clothes neatly and place them on the sofa according to their categories.
Then he took out all the toiletries and put them in the dressing room and toilet after Lu Beiye got up.
After tidying up, Lu Nange started making breakfast.
Considering that Lu Beiye was still a child, she heated up some milk and made a sandwich.
Golden fried eggs, fresh vegetables, and fragrant ham are layered on top of each other, making it look incredibly appetizing.
I was just about to go to the room to call Lu Beiye when I caught a glimpse of the little guy already quietly and obediently nestled on the living room sofa.
"A-Ye is awake. Why didn't you call for your sister?"
Lu Beiye slowly raised his head, staring intently at Lu Nange, his gaze filled with a complex mix of emotions.
Even if we could start over twice, it would only take three years...
Seeing his appearance, Lu Nange assumed that he was just a child who was scared and uneasy in an unfamiliar environment.
She walked a few steps to the sofa, bent down gently, and picked up Lu Beiye.
Lu Beiye wasn't used to this embrace and instinctively struggled to get down, but Lu Nange seemed to sense his unease.
She gently raised her hand and patted his back lightly, again and again.
The soothing gesture made the little one instinctively stop struggling, stretch out his little arms, and tightly wrap them around Lu Nange's neck.
He tilted his head and rested it on her shoulder.
“Our Ah Ye is already a brave little man!”
"Don't be afraid, your sister is here. Your sister will always protect you, and no one can hurt you." Lu Nange whispered in his ear.
Lu Beiye twitched the corner of his mouth and quietly felt that familiar power slowly surging within his body.
I thought to myself, "I don't know why you're here this time, but I'll protect you!"

After the meal.
Just as Lu Nange was about to dial Chen Yi's number, her phone screen suddenly lit up, and Liu Man's caller ID appeared on the screen.
She glanced at Lu Beiye, who was intently watching the television, then turned around gently, strolled into the room, and closed the door behind her.
"Hey, Sister Liu Man."
Liu Man first inquired about Lu Nange's health with concern, then her tone became somewhat heavy and her words were tactful.
Tell her that because of the explosion on the bridge, the site was severely damaged and it might be impossible to find the remains of the deer's parents.
When asked if there were any other adults in the family and if her brother had returned, Lu Nange gave evasive answers.
Liu Man then said that she would go to the police station to make a statement when she felt better and the weather was nicer.
He hung up on Liu Man.
Lu Nange called Chen Yi, who was incredibly excited when he answered the phone.
"Nan Nan, where are your parents? I haven't been able to get through to them all night."
From the original owner's memories, Lu Nange learned that her parents often took spontaneous trips and would remind Lu Xici to contact Chen Yi.
After Lu Xici went to university, Lu's father would give Lu Nange some instructions.
So Lu Nange blurted out, "Uncle Chen, my parents flew abroad last night!"
We encountered a typhoon just as we arrived at our destination.
The signal is intermittent. They called me yesterday, and they specifically asked me to call you.
Chen Yi rolled his eyes, but didn't suspect anything. After all, Lu Li and his wife always pulled this stunt, wasting his time as a wage earner!
"Nan Nan, what did your dad say?"
"Uncle Chen, my dad called this morning, and he kept saying that the weather has been terrible these past few days."
Severe convective weather is expected; going out is dangerous! Please inform all employees that they will be on holiday starting tomorrow.
Wages will be paid as usual, including those of security guards!
He will contact you again to inform you of the resumption date once the weather improves.
Chen Yi: "What's wrong with him so early in the morning? Giving us a holiday just like that..."
"Uncle Chen. This is such a big deal, I can only relay it. Dad said he received a notice from above that holidays will be gradually arranged across the country starting tomorrow."
Chen Yi knew Lu Nange's personality; she was obedient and wouldn't lie.
He also pondered that since Lu Mama had strong connections, she probably had some inside information. Otherwise, Lu Li, that miserly man who was only generous to his sister-in-law, would not be closing his shop for a break.
"Alright, I'll pass on the notice right away. We'll give everyone a day off tomorrow."
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Chen. The weather is bad, so please buy some extra food and keep it at home just in case."
"Okay, okay, Nan Nan, don't go out in this weather. I've got in touch with your dad, have him call me back as soon as possible."
Which remote mountain village have they gone to this time? There's no signal! It was the same when they went to France last time; we couldn't contact them for half a month.
"If you can't return my call, a WeChat message would be fine too."
Lu Nange didn't dare to reply, but breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Okay, Uncle Chen."
"It's just you and Xiao Ye at home. Call Uncle Chen anytime if you need anything."
"Uncle Chen, there is something I really need to trouble you with. Could you arrange for a few people to come and install some gates for me today?"
"What gate?"
"My parents gave me a top-floor apartment. They said the rooftop was a free gift, which is why I chose the top floor."
But yesterday I found the rooftop covered in trash, probably from the downstairs neighbors having a barbecue there.
I just wanted to block the stairwell so those people wouldn't just go up there freely.
Chen Yi didn't ask any further questions, saying it was just a small matter: "Then I'll contact someone to come and take the measurements in a bit."
"Thank you, Uncle Chen, but there's no need to measure anymore. I've already taken the measurements. Just send me your contact information."
"Okay, I'll have him call you after I've made the contact. You can decide which type of door you want then."
