"Otherwise what? I can't possibly wash it!"
Ah Yi recalled that it made sense; her young lady was the type to burn down the kitchen.
Ning Yizhan had already finished washing the dishes and came out of the kitchen. He said to Qiu Hu, "Ah Hu, I'm going back to my room first. You two can chat."
"Okay," he's so understanding!
The four quickly returned to their business. Qiu Hu sat on the single sofa and asked, "So, how have you been lately?"
Wei Zhouyu was the first to raise her hand and speak, telling her about Zhao Shi's situation. "Zhao Shi is doing well lately, managing both his studies and daily life. However, his relationship with his classmates is still just so-so. Recently, he asked me to teach him some boxing. I thought it wouldn't be a problem, so I taught him a few simple things. I found that he already had some basic skills, and he's learning quite quickly. He also came to your house to see you recently. He didn't dare to contact you casually for fear of disturbing you, so he came to your house to see you. Also, he's been spacing out in class lately, and I had to call him several times before he responded."
She said a lot at once, both good and bad, and Qiu Hu listened attentively. "It's okay, you can continue teaching him. Just be careful. As for the problem of him spacing out, you can continue to observe him."
Finally, he added, "Tell him not to go to Golden Bay recently, to avoid them discovering Zhao Shi."
"Yes, miss."
After they finished speaking, Ayi began to say, "There was a group of people in Jinyin Bay who kept watching us, but they didn't make a move. We were also being watched on our way here, until we entered Guyue Garden, and then we stopped being followed."
It seems they've come to Ning Yizhan's territory and dare not trespass easily.
"Yes, be careful. Our people in K country said there's been no movement there, they're probably waiting for us to act first. Anyway, everything seems normal lately."
"What about Daozhong? How's the research progressing?"
Qiu Hu had been having him research amnesia, and since he came to Qincheng, she had also shown him Zhao Shi's condition and was researching an antidote.
Daozhong scratched his head, trying to cover it up, "It will take some more time, mainly because it's too difficult."
"Alright, keep it up!"
A moment of silence followed as the four of them wondered if there had been any oversights.
Qiu Hu looked at the necklace around Wei Zhouyu's neck across from him, remembered the secret hidden in the necklace, and went back to his room to get the note from Ning Yizhan.
"Will this be useful?" Qiu Hu took out the secret from the necklace and handed it to Dao Zhong.
Ning Yizhan originally wanted people to study what the prescription was, but he didn't dare to. For outsiders, there was only permanent profit, so the prescription has been kept until now.
Daozhong looked at the prescription and said, "This is a prescription for detoxification. Whether it works or not, we'll only know after we make it."
"Then remember it and study it when you get back!" She knew that Dao Chong remembered things very quickly.
Daozhong began to memorize the prescription, and finished memorizing it in no time. "I'll figure it out as soon as possible!"
The four talked for a long time before leaving.
Qiu Hu returned to the bedroom, and Ning Yizhan put down the book in his hand.
"You're holding your book upside down!" Qiu Hu said in a surprising way.
"Ahem..." Ning Yizhan looked down at the book in his hand, feeling a little embarrassed. He had been waiting for her in the room for a long time, and the four people outside had not finished talking. Finally, when the people outside left and Qiu Hu came over to him, he picked up the book and pretended to read it. His attention was on her, and he did not pay attention to the book in his hand at all.
He feels like he's acting silly right now.
"This book might be more difficult to read backwards, which fits your character," Qiu Hu offered as a consolation.
"..." Ning Yizhan put down the book in his hand and wanted to go over and hug her, but Qiu Hu looked at him in his pajamas and said, "I'm going to take a shower. You go to sleep first. I don't want to do it tonight."
"Oh, okay," she said, after being rejected. "How about a kiss?"
Hearing that his request wasn't too unreasonable, Qiu Hu went over, cupped his face, and gently kissed him.
Not long after the kiss, Ning Yizhan pulled her to sit on his lap.
After a long while, Qiu Hu pushed him away, her lips slurring, "Alright, I'm going to take a shower!"
The next day, Qiu Hu woke up right after Ning Yizhan. She watched the man's back as he dressed and said, "Ning Yizhan, dress smartly. Come home with me to see Grandpa later."
Ning Yizhan, with his back to Qiu Hu, froze, thinking he had misheard. He turned around abruptly, "What did you say?"
“I told you to come home with me to see Grandpa. Last time I went home to see Grandpa, he told me to bring you with me next time I go home!”
"Are you trying to introduce me to your parents?"
"...It's just meeting my grandfather, isn't it? You've met him before!"
Ning Yizhan finished dressing and walked up to Qiu Hu. "In what capacity are you meeting Grandpa this time? Are you Ning Yizhan or Qiu Hu's boyfriend, Ning Yizhan?"
"Boyfriend, boyfriend, okay?!" Qiu Hu looked at him, who wouldn't give up until he got an answer.
"Okay, fine," Ning Yizhan replied with a touch of pride, satisfied with the answer.
He went back to the dressing room and came out in a different suit. He held a tie in his hand and put it in Qiu Hu's hand. "How about this one? If it's okay, tie the tie for me."
"You just wanted me to tie your tie, right? Why go through all this trouble?" Qiu Hu took the tie and wrapped it around his neck, then didn't know what to do next, asking in confusion, "And then what?"
Ning Yizhan held Qiu Hu's hands and taught him how to tie a tie. After tying one tie, he untied it and said gently, "Have you learned it?"
"I'll give it a try!" Qiu Hu started thinking about it, and finally figured it out. Excitedly, she asked, "How is it?"
Ning Yizhan thought it was alright, the hand movements were really good, "Not bad, just practice more in the future, I'll practice for you for free!"
"...", something about those words sounded strange to her.
Qiu Hu ignored him and started busying herself. After closing the bathroom door, there was another knock. "Ah Hu, let's go out for breakfast!"
"good".
After the two finished breakfast, Ning Yizhan took Qiu Hu and some gifts and went to the Qiu family's old house.
The old mansion of the Qiu family was as deserted as ever. When you entered the living room, there was only the old man and a few servants.
The old man didn't go out today. Qiu Hu called him yesterday to say that he was bringing Ning Yizhan back today, so he didn't go out.
As soon as they entered, they saw the old man and exclaimed in unison, "Grandpa!"
"You're all here! Please have a seat!" The old man beamed with joy when he saw them come in together. It was wonderful; his Ah Hu had finally found a good home and was no longer all alone.
Ning Yizhan put down the gifts and sat down next to Qiu Hu.
The old man was delighted to see how well the two of them matched.
So, she asked him in a hurry, "When are you planning to get married? I'd like to pick a date!"
