"Qin Bai, I'm moving. Could you come help me out? I'll treat you to dinner afterwards, okay?"
Qiao Lianyi's voice carried a hint of weakness. If this were the Qin Bai of the past, he would probably have agreed instantly and rushed over.
But now, Qin Bai is no longer the Qin Bai of the past.
Qin Bai said with a regretful tone, "You're moving? Where are you moving to? I wanted to come and help, but I have something urgent to attend to and can't go."
Qin Bai himself didn't expect that his acting skills had reached such a high level.
Such acting skills were something he could never have achieved before.
Qiao Lianyi was immediately disappointed. She had already come up with several reasons, but Qin Bai either had something to do or said he would definitely do it next time, which made her doubt her own charm.
"I'm not telling you where I'm moving to yet, I'll give you a surprise."
Qiao Lianyi made a playful and cute sound.
As a tea master, Qiao Lianyi knew very well that if she wanted her backup boyfriend to keep him from giving up, she had to give him some benefits from time to time.
She used to look down on Qin Bai, but after he won five million in the lottery, Qin Bai suddenly became much more important to her.
It has at least temporarily surpassed other backup options, taking the top spot on the backup option list.
After ending the call with Qiao Lianyi, Lin Qin called immediately.
"Brother Qin Bai, I'm moving today. Could you come and help me with a small favor?"
Lin Qin's coquettish voice was even more exaggerated than Qiao Lianyi's, giving Qin Bai goosebumps.
"Are you moving too? My crush just called me. If I didn't have something to do right now, I would have come over."
Qin Bai deliberately spoke in a regretful tone.
Lin Qin frowned and looked outside the door. Sure enough, Qiao Lianyi had also called Qin Bai.
"He changed completely once he found out he had money. What a slut!"
Lin Qin cursed inwardly, but on the surface she still smiled and said, "Brother, I'm different from some people. I only care about Giegie."
Holy crap!
That one word, "giegie," almost sent Qin Bai flying on the spot; it went beyond just giving him goosebumps.
"Since Giegie has something to do, let's do it next time. Your little sister will always wait for you."
Looking at his phone, Qin Bai realized for the first time that Lin Qin was no ordinary person either.
"It seems I knew too little about her in my previous life. She was also a money-grubber."
Qin Bai smirked and then made a phone call to Gu Lang.
"Old Gu, what's the company saying now?"
The disappearance of goods worth tens of billions of dollars from the transit station has become a major incident, and the police are investigating the matter with all their might.
But no matter how they simulated the scene, there was one thing they couldn't avoid: how did so many supplies disappear overnight?
They could never have imagined that someone in the world could directly store so many supplies in their own space.
"The company has given us a temporary leave, which is paid leave. We can only wait for the police's results, otherwise they won't dare to send any more supplies."
Gu Lang was also helpless. He couldn't understand how so many supplies had disappeared. It was like a dream.
"Old Gu, I heard it's going to get colder next month. Remember to buy some warm clothes and food with a long shelf life, just in case."
As his only friend, Qin Bai naturally couldn't stand idly by.
Helping out when you can is no problem at all.
He just couldn't be so clear about it. If he said now that the apocalypse was coming next month, Gu Lang's first reaction would probably be to drag him to get his brain checked.
"Huh? Shouldn't it get warmer next month?"
Gu Lang was completely bewildered.
"Believe me, even if the temperature doesn't drop, you'll still need these things later."
Qin Bai's voice was very sincere.
Gu Lang thought about it and realized that what he said was true.
"Okay, I'll go buy these things later. I happen to have an empty room in my house, so it should be able to hold quite a lot."
A smile appeared on Qin Bai's lips. Sure enough, only Old Gu was willing to believe what he said.
With warm clothes and enough food, and the fact that the transit station no longer requires staff to work, Old Gu's bleak future has been initially changed.
Next, all he needs to do is change his future.
The renovation company acted quickly, sending people over the next day to begin renovating his house.
Since it's a safe house, each wall must be fitted with metal plates to increase the house's sturdiness.
Such a big move was naturally seen by the nearby neighbors.
They all came over out of curiosity to see what was going on, and they were all very surprised when they saw that Qin Bai was actually nailing steel plates to his own wall.
"Young man, what are you doing?"
An old man asked curiously.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just like the metallic style and want to change the decor of my house."
Qin Bai just spouted nonsense, and regardless of whether others believed him or not, he believed it himself.
"???"
The old man was full of questions. Who would like this style?
However, this was someone else's business, and the old man lost interest after watching for a while.
Qin Bai ignored everyone else and kept an eye on the workers' renovations. Sometimes, he would even offer suggestions to improve his safe house.
Just then, a hand patted his shoulder, and then a familiar voice reached his ears.
Guess who I am?
Qin Bai would never forget that voice, even if he died!
"She's a goddess!"
Qin Bai turned around and saw that Qiao Lianyi was indeed standing behind him.
Strangely, Lin Qin, who had been with her the whole time, was not there.
Qiao Lianyi smiled slightly, reached out and smoothed her hair, exuding the air of a well-bred young lady.
"Calling me 'goddess' is too formal. From now on, just call me Lianyi."
"That won't do! A goddess is a goddess!"
Qin Bai firmly disagreed, looking every bit the sycophant.
When Qiao Lianyi saw Qin Bai's expression, she immediately felt relieved. Sure enough, Qin Bai's behavior earlier must have been due to something else.
Otherwise, his attitude towards himself would be normal.
Little did she know that Qin Bai's heart was like a demon, its hideous maw wide open.
"By the way, goddess, what are you doing here? I remember you lived in an upscale neighborhood, didn't you?"
Qin Bai suddenly remembered this matter.
"I've already moved out, and it just so happens to be in this neighborhood. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Qiao Lianyi's eyes flickered slightly, and the pink lipstick on her lips seemed to radiate light.
Qin Bai then realized that Qiao Lianyi had actually moved here specifically.
She'd throw away all her pride for those five million.
One can be realistic, but not too realistic!
