Qiu Miao: Sorry, I can't drive_(:зゝ∠)_

Qiu Yanping did not have as many twisted thoughts as Gu Wenye. He did not think there was anything wrong with what Gu Wenye said. Didn't the two of them come to Xingcheng together to investigate the old lady? Now everyone was surrounding his companion, and some even wanted to push him away. How could this be justified!

After hearing what Gu Wenye said, Qiu Yanping even nodded slightly at those little fans who had dazed or disappointed looks on their faces, with a hint of provocation.

In the eyes of those little fans, this look becomes a show-off.

I want to hit someone.

When the young fans saw that their idol was no longer single, most of them dispersed without interest, but a small group of them stayed, probably because they were truly in love.

Gu Wenye smiled apologetically at Qiu Yanping and said, "I am sorry to bother you, Mr. Qiu."

Qiu Yanping snorted softly and ignored Gu Wenye. He turned his head to look out the window. The meaning was very obvious - I'm not angry yet.

Seeing this, Gu Wenye stopped talking to avoid getting into trouble when Qiu Yanping was still unhappy.

Qiu Yanping looked out the window for a while - to be honest, the motion sickness sticker that was somewhat effective could not withstand a person suffering from motion sickness looking at the high-speed moving scenery outside - Qiu Yanping withdrew his gaze gloomily and suddenly said, "If the motion sickness sticker you gave me had not had some effect, I would have vomited with all these people surrounding me." He complained, and there was even a hint of grievance in his words. When Qiu Yanping realized this, he suddenly stopped talking, pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Gu Wenye had a smile on his face, and when he saw Qiu Yanping keep silent, his smile became even more obvious. He said, "Well, it's my fault. I should have said it earlier."

After hearing this, Qiu Yanping didn't know what to say. He complained in his heart that the news industry was always like this. Every word from it always made him feel as if he had fallen into a pile of cotton, with no foothold to stand on.

Fortunately, the entire journey took no more than half an hour. After persuading most of the fans to leave with just a few words, they arrived at Star City not long after.

Qiu Yanping felt relaxed after getting off the SkyTrain. He felt that the air in Star City was fresh and sweet, much better than the various perfumes on the train.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yanping suddenly felt some sympathy for Gu Wenye. This man had experienced this kind of situation many more times than him. Tsk, how miserable.

Gu Wenye tilted his head and asked, "Mr. Qiu, how are you feeling? Are you feeling well?"

Qiu Yanping waved his hands. The car sickness sticker was effective, and the ride was short, so overall it was not bad. He asked, "How do we get to the old lady's house?"

"I'll go borrow two pontoons. Mr. Qiu, please wait for me here," said Gu Wenye.

"Wait." Qiu Yanping was stunned and quickly called Gu Wenye, "Suspended boat?"

"Well, I'm not familiar with the public transportation here, so..." Gu Wenye said a little embarrassedly.

Hearing this, Qiu Yanping had no choice but to wave his hand and said, "Then... General Gu can just borrow one, and General Gu and I will ride in the same boat." Qiu Yanping received Gu Wenye's somewhat puzzled gaze, and said hesitantly, "I can't drive." It was very embarrassing. Qiu Yanping felt that his inability to drive a floating boat was as rare as men in his time not being able to ride a horse.

Gu Wenye nodded in understanding, "It's okay, I'll give you a ride."

The place for renting floating boats was right next to the station. Gu Wenye quickly borrowed one and drove over. The floating boat was lowered to a height of only a dozen centimeters from the ground. Gu Wenye reached out and pulled Qiu Yanping up.

"Drive slower." Qiu Yanping reminded with some psychological shadow.

Gu Wenye was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that when they rushed to the Seventh Division of the Military Department to rescue, he seemed to have pulled Qiu Yanping onto the floating boat in the same way. However, the situation was urgent at that time, so he didn't pay much attention to it, so he didn't have any deep impression. He smiled and nodded, "Okay. Mr. Qiu, remember to put on your safety helmet."

Qiu Yanping looked around in confusion, "Where?"

Gu Wenye turned his head and pressed a yellow button on the seat behind Qiu Yanping's ear, and a transparent cover fell down.

Qiu Yanping stammered "Oh", "So it's here, it's really inconspicuous." His ears were red. When Gu Wenye turned around to look for the button just now, he was too close to him, and his breath sprayed on the side of his head and neck.

Gu Wenye hummed, started the engine, and said, "If Mr. Qiu doesn't know how to drive a floating boat, it will be difficult to find the right position for the safety helmet."

Qiu Yanping nodded in agreement and his hands unconsciously grabbed Gu Wenye's waist. Although he had reminded him before, the shadow of the last time was so great that the moment the seat under his buttocks began to vibrate, Qiu Yanping could not help but subconsciously tighten his waist.

Gu Wenye felt a tightening around his waist and was slightly surprised. A smile flashed in his eyes, and he was glad that Qiu Yanping would not start the floating boat.

Basge's home was in the suburbs of Star City. He raised a yard of sheep. When Gu Wenye and Qiu Yanping arrived there, they heard continuous bleating sounds.

Bathgate was in his room when he heard his sheep bleating outside one by one, so he went out to check what was going on.

"Who are you...?" Bathgate raised his reading glasses, looked at the two young and handsome men in front of him, and asked in confusion.

"Are you the old lady of Bathhouse?" Qiu Yanping asked.

"I am," said Bathgate.

Qiu Yanping looked at Basiga and felt a little strange. Judging from Basiga's appearance, this old lady should not be childless, nor should her children die young. Why did the information found by Gu Wenye show that she had no children?

"What do you two gentlemen need?" asked Bathgate.

Gu Wenye and Qiu Yanping looked at each other. Gu Wenye got straight to the point and first revealed his military identity - when questioning civilians, a military identity always brings them convenience and initial trust - then handed the picture of the pair of clay dolls he had taken earlier to the old lady, "Hello, Madam Bathgate, I am affiliated with the Seventh Department of the Military Department. Do you recognize the pair of clay dolls in the picture?"

The old lady's face changed. She became anxious and nervous. She looked at Gu Wenye and Qiu Yanping and asked, "Did they do anything bad? Where are they? Are they okay?"

Qiu Yanping raised his eyebrows. The more he listened, the more it sounded like those two clay dolls were alive...

He said, "They are in my hands, and so far they should be living pretty well." Qiu Yanping didn't know how to define whether the two clay dolls were living a good or bad life, but he thought, they hadn't done anything to the clay dolls, and except for the two little guys being swallowed by fish and floating across the river from Star City to Central City, they should be living a pretty good life, right?

The old lady heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. "That's good, that's good..."

"Do you know the origin of these two clay dolls?" Gu Wenye asked upon seeing this.

The old lady shook her head. "Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me." She looked at Gu Wenye and Qiu Yanping anxiously and asked, "Can you take me to see them? Can I take them home?"

"If you don't tell me, how can I safely hand over these two strange dolls of unknown origin to you?" Gu Wenye said gently. With the righteousness of a soldier and his gentle voice, Gu Wenye was indeed very suitable to gain the trust of an old man.

Mrs. Bathhouse looked a little hesitant. At this moment, Qiu Yanping suddenly asked, "You should have two children, right? Where are they?"

Gu Wenye was stunned. He remembered that they both had read the document yesterday, which stated that Bathgate had no children. Why did Qiu Yanping suddenly ask this?

The old lady of Bathhouse was shocked, "How do you know?!"

Gu Wenye frowned when he heard this. Is there something wrong with the information in the Interstellar Citizen file?

"Not only do I know you have two children, I also know they are trapped in a place and can't get out." Qiu Yanping stared at Basge's face. He paused for a few seconds and then made a bold assumption, "They are trapped in those two clay dolls?"

A flash of surprise and astonishment flashed across the eyes of the old lady Bathhouse. Then she nodded vigorously and took a step forward to grab Qiu Yanping's hand. "Yes, yes, how did you know? Do you have any way to save them?"

Qiu Yanping stared at Bathgate for a few seconds without saying a word, which made the old lady uncomfortably retract her outstretched hand. She looked at Gu Wenye at a loss, not knowing what went wrong.

Gu Wenye whispered to comfort the other party. He was also shocked by Qiu Yanping's bold guess. There were actually two children trapped in those two clay dolls that were only the size of an adult's palm?

Not long after, Qiu Yanping spoke up, "I just made a guess. As for how to save your child, I am helpless."

Bathgate dropped her shoulders in disappointment. She whispered "Oh" and said after a while, "Then can you return them to me? To you, they are just two clay dolls, but to me, they are my children. Even if they become like that... they are still my children..." Bathgate covered her eyes and choked.

"Of course." Qiu Yanping agreed immediately, "I will send someone to deliver the two clay dolls, so that your family of three can be reunited." He smiled and said, "But before that, I have a small request."

"You say, you say." Bathgate said happily.

"It's like this. You see, I drove all the way here from Far Ark and drank some water along the way. Now I want to use your bathroom. Is that convenient?"

Gu Wenye raised his eyebrows. It took them only half an hour to get here, and Qiu Yanping hadn't even had a sip of water during that time. Now he was using this as an excuse to go into Bathgate's room? What was he planning to do?

Bathgate nodded quickly. After learning the whereabouts of the child, her face was wiped away from the old look before, and she looked a lot younger. She strode in front and greeted them, "I forgot to invite you two in. Come in quickly. Why don't you have a simple meal here?"
