Chapter 51
After Ji Feng finished his call with Ji Fang, he returned to the place where he was picking vegetables. Jiang Yi asked, "Is Qiao Ye's communication equipment also military-grade?"
Ji Feng was somewhat surprised: "You saw it?"
"Yeah, I was just watching what you were doing when I saw it," Jiang Yi said, feeling embarrassed that he hadn't been noticed at all while he was watching Ji Feng.
Ji Feng didn't think anything of it. He sighed and said, "Yes, his master is back and will take him away tomorrow."
Jiang Yi nodded knowingly, but judging from Ji Feng's expression, Ji Feng didn't seem very happy. He tentatively asked, "What's wrong? Are you reluctant to see Qiao Ye leave? It's okay, I can have my Mao Dan stay with you."
Ji Feng replied absentmindedly, "No..."
During this time, Ji Feng's relationship with Qiao Ye became increasingly close. Because of Qiao Ye, he also made many friends, and in his heart, he almost regarded Qiao Ye as his everything.
Joe would also communicate with him, order takeout, and all sorts of novel things would happen. He would even make the news for his acts of bravery. Who would be willing to give up such a pet?
But now that his brother is back, he wants to take Qiao Ye back with him. Qiao Ye seems eager to go home, but he is also a little sad. He wants to compete with his brother for Qiao Ye.
Director Qian also heard that Qiao Ye was going to be picked up by her owner. He originally thought he could talk to Qiao Ye's owner and let Qiao Ye finish filming before leaving, and that they could discuss things like the filming fee.
However, Ji Feng emphasized that Qiao Ye was for military use and there was no room for negotiation. Director Qian anxiously scratched the back of his head and immediately made a decision to shoot more of Qiao Ye's scenes and add them in post-production using special effects or editing.
Qiao also knew that this variety show would benefit Ji Feng's career, so he cooperated very well. He was busy from afternoon until late at night. When Li Cheng's airship came to pick him up, Qiao was still in bed. When he woke up and saw Jiang Yi's big face, he was instantly dumbfounded.
Jiang Yi woke up too, and Qiao was shocked. Didn't he always sleep in the same bed with Ji Feng? How come he woke up next to Jiang Yi now? Did Ji Feng, Jiang Yi, and him sleep together last night?
Before he could regain his senses, Jiang Yi got up. Seemingly understanding the meaning behind Qiao Ye's shocked expression, he propped his head up with one hand and laughed, "Are you stupid? Ji Feng went to pack your things."
Qiao also crawled out from under the covers. It was a double room. Jiang Yi and Ji Feng must have been assigned to the same room last night. Moreover, Jiang Yi was dressed neatly, probably because he deliberately lay down on Ji Feng's bed to see Qiao, the original human, sleeping.
That should be the case. Observing pets sleeping is a kind of stress-relieving pleasure for humans. Yes, that should be the case.
Just then, the door opened, and Ji Feng returned. Seeing Jiang Yi lying on his bed, he didn't say anything. Unbeknownst to them, Ji Feng and Jiang Yi had become very close.
Ji Feng also bought Qiao a small backpack, which contained his pet clothes and toiletries.
After getting dressed and washing up, Ji Feng gave Qiao Ye a stylish haircut and let him carry a small backpack himself. From behind, Qiao Ye looked no different from a child from Cohen.
As their parting was imminent, Ji Feng suddenly knelt down and hugged Qiao Ye, pretending to cry: "Waaah, Qiao Ye, I can't bear to part with you. You've forgotten your master, come with me! I'll make sure you live a life of luxury and protect you for the rest of your life. I'm so reluctant to leave..."
Qiao was speechless. It was like a life-or-death separation. It must be because he had been spending too much time with Jiang Yi lately. They had been imitating classic film and television performances recently, and they were getting too into character.
Qiao also sighed, and patted Ji Feng's back with a mature and steady gesture, seemingly trying to comfort him.
Seeing that Ji Feng genuinely liked Qiao Ye, Jiang Yi comforted him, saying, "If you like Yuan Ren, I'll find you a smart one like Qiao Ye to raise in the future!"
Ji Feng shook his head in a muffled voice: "It can't be found. Qiao Ye's situation is unique. No one else would do something like Qiao Ye!"
Joe was somewhat helpless. He used his terminal's miTu to send a message to Ji Feng:
That's enough for now. I'll come visit you later, or you can come home and see me then, right?
I was anxious to see my owner. I sensed he was injured and in poor spirits, with dark circles under his eyes. He must not have been sleeping well. Holding me while I slept helped me feel better.
Ji Feng immediately composed himself. His older brother was injured? How come he didn't notice in yesterday's video? He seems to have lost a lot of weight.
Do you have very dark circles under your eyes? How come he didn't notice?
Qiao Ye is so observant that he noticed his older brother's dark circles, but why didn't he notice his own? His dark circles are quite severe too!
Qiao rolled her eyes: [Your dark circles are your own doing. Staying up all night playing online games and flirting with that handsome Jiang, who else would have dark circles if not you!]
Ji Feng's face instantly flushed slightly: [Who's flirting! He's the one who dragged me to play games. Besides, I had insomnia. Do you even know the pain of insomnia?!]
Qiao Ye: [I don't understand, I sleep very soundly every day]
Jiang Yi watched Ji Feng's change of expression with some confusion. Ji Feng said, "I was chatting with him on MiTu..."
Qiao also looked enlightened: [You still say you weren't flirting? You've already told him my secret.]
Before Ji Feng could say anything more, Qiao turned around and brought up the add friend interface on miTu for Jiang Yi to scan.
Jiang Yi was greatly surprised: "Can the original human really use a terminal? Could he really communicate with people?"
Ji Feng quickly gestured for him to speak softly and said, "He's a battle pet, he's been professionally trained. Just keep that to yourself, don't tell anyone else. He can do some simple communication."
As a well-known figure with considerable wealth, Jiang Yi used to be someone who cautiously tried to get his contact information, which was quite annoying. Jiang Yi would have his agent handle it. But now, who can refuse a cute guy from the original story from adding him to their contact information?
Who wouldn't want to try talking to their pet? It's such a novel experience!
Jiang Yi couldn't wait to add Qiao Ye using her personal account, and then sent Qiao Ye a message: 【Hello/Heart/】
Joe also replied:
Ji Feng is now in your hands.
He's too naive; I'm looking after him for him.
He was often short of money, and it was my master who gave him money for food.
Qiao could also tell that Jiang Yi actually liked Ji Feng a little and paid attention to everything about Ji Feng.
Jiang Yi looked at Qiao Ye, somewhat unsure if the message was sent by Qiao Ye.
Qiao Ye looked at Jiang Yi's somewhat bewildered expression, then typed: "What's wrong? Don't want to?"
If he's unwilling, then this liking isn't that great. He wants to tell Ji Feng to stay away from him and not be deceived into sleeping with him.
Jiang Yi hurriedly asked, "Was it really you who sent me the message? And not someone else?"
Qiao also sighed. It seemed that the fact that the original person could type was indeed quite shocking. He clicked on video call, and Jiang Yi reacted, clicked to connect, and then saw Qiao Ye, who was indeed the real person.
Jiang Yi said, "In your heart, is Ji Feng like a little brother to you? You don't trust him, so you entrusted him to me?"
Qiao Ye: [Yeah, he's naive and doesn't belong in your circle.]
Ji Feng jumped up in displeasure: "What little brother? I'm his older brother! I'm the older brother! He's so young, his mental age is only seven or eight!"
Then Qiao watched Ji Feng jump up and down with a calm expression, just like watching a naughty child.
Ji Feng jumped up even more vehemently: "What kind of look is that! Do you want to ride on my shoulders and be my brother?"
Jiang Yi is a cat owner. In Pi Dan's mind, he is a cat servant who takes care of his poop, and his status is lower than Pi Dan's. Pi Dan will kick him from time to time, and sometimes he will even bring back a hunt and put it on Pi Dan's pillow to scare him.
In Qiao Ye's mind, Ji Feng was probably the same person; he was afraid that Ji Feng wouldn't be able to support himself.
Jiang Yi had a great experience communicating with a pet for the first time. He grabbed the wailing Ji Feng and solemnly promised Qiao Ye, "No problem, you can go home with peace of mind. If I get a bite of meat, your little brother Ji Feng will definitely get a bite of soup too."
After all, what bad intentions could this little cutie possibly have? In Yuan Yuan's heart, she was actually a reliable person, which made Jiang Yi very happy.
Ji Feng stared wide-eyed at Jiang Yi, then at Qiao Ye, feeling as if he had been betrayed.
Seeing Jiang Yi's promise, Qiao nodded, put on his small backpack, and asked Ji Feng to open the door so he could go out.
Li Cheng arrived at nine o'clock in a military-marked airship. Everyone was curious, and some who had seen military insignia were even surprised. Qi Nanchun, who had served in the army in his youth, exclaimed to those around him upon seeing Li Cheng, "Wow, Qiao Ye's master is no ordinary person. Judging from his demeanor, he's not only killed alien beasts, but he's also killed people!"
Li He, who had played a military commander before, also muttered to himself, "This person's identity is definitely not simple."
Li Cheng was very alert. Perhaps sensing the intense gaze, a sharp look shot towards Qi Nanchun, who immediately greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Commander!"
Li Cheng simply gave a cold, raised hand in greeting.
Director Qian came over to greet Li Cheng and offered him a cigarette, but Li Cheng declined, saying, "I don't smoke, thank you."
Director Qian said, "You are Qiao Ye's master? Qiao Ye is really good. Your troops are really amazing. It's incredible that you can train a primitive to be so human-like!"
Li Cheng said modestly, "I am not Qiao Ye's master. I am here to pick him up. Thank you for taking care of Qiao Ye during this time."
Director Qian smiled and waved his hand: "If I had to say thank you, I would thank Qiao Ye for providing me with so much footage."
At this moment, Qiao also came out carrying a small bag. When she saw Li Cheng, Li Cheng immediately greeted her. When Qiao saw Li Cheng, she ran over and pounced on him like lightning. Li Cheng's heart melted when he saw the little Yuanren rushing towards him. His cold and resolute expression, which had been cold while talking to someone, instantly softened and became gentle.
However, upon seeing the camera, Li Cheng's expression instantly changed: "Filming is prohibited. Military information must not be leaked, or you will bear all legal consequences!"
The cameraman, who had never seen such a menacing look before, immediately became nervous and cautious. He quickly put away his camera, bowed and scraped, and raised his hand to indicate, "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't know..."
Li Cheng looked at Director Qian, received the same warning and explanation, and then left with Qiao in his arms.
The airship started up on the spot, raising a cloud of dust that dissipated into the air. Soon after, the airship flew into the sky and disappeared from sight.
Li He and Qi Nanchun were dumbfounded. They glanced at each other and muttered, "Goodness, this guy is just here to pick up Qiao Ye. His master is of higher status than him!"
Everyone was curious and asked Ji Feng, "What is Qiao Ye's master's identity? He seems very powerful."
Ji Feng was somewhat embarrassed and changed the subject: "What other identity could I have? I'm just a soldier in the army..."
Seeing that Ji Feng didn't want to talk, everyone's minds started racing. They had heard that Ji Feng had latched onto a powerful figure; could it be true? The military can now get involved in the entertainment industry? They had never heard of any big shots from the military.
Here, Jiang Yi's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He had overheard some people speculating about Ji Feng's backing, but Ji Feng showed no sign of guilt. It was likely true that he was hiding something, but who doesn't have secrets?
But what if Ji Feng really is being kept by that bigwig in the military...?
Thinking of Qiao Ye, Jiang Yi impulsively asked her: "What is the relationship between your master and Ji Feng?"
He quickly received Qiao Ye's reply: [Debt Relationship]
Jiang Yi: [How much does Ji Feng owe?]
Qiao Ye: [5 million]
Jiang Yi: ['The other party transferred 5 million to you']
Qiao Ye: [? ? ? ? ? ]
Jiang Yi: [I've collected the money Ji Feng owed on behalf of your master. I've paid it off for him. From now on, we're even!]
Joe was also a little dumbfounded when he received a huge sum of 5 million. Are people in this world all so rich? Five million is just a number. Don't think he doesn't know that the salary for milk tea shakers outside is less than 5,000 a month!
As an ordinary person, Qiao Ye never owned five million, but now, as a pet, he owns five million. It's true, people are not as good as pets!
However, Jiang Yi's brother-in-law is not bad. As the saying goes, where money is spent, love is found!
Qiao accepted the five million and immediately transferred it to Ji Feng. He then sent Ji Feng and Jiang Yi a screenshot of their conversation, letting Ji Feng and Jiang Yi get entangled in their love affair. He couldn't do anything about matters of the heart.
He was just a cunning ox, destined to never experience love in this life. Let him stay by Ji Fang's side and be a loyal cunning ox to repay the life-saving grace.
