But a moment later, Chu Qinghe's expression returned to normal, and he said in response to Dongfang Bubai's words, "So it is Miss Dongfang."
After nodding slightly in response, Dongfang Bubai pondered for a few moments before speaking again: "It has been many years since I returned to Yushui City. I would like to stay here with you for a while. Would that be convenient for you, Young Master Chu?"
As he spoke, Dongfang Bubai took out a gold ingot from his pocket and placed it on the table.
However, Chu Qinghe didn't even glance at the gold on the table, and simply nodded, saying, "There are plenty of empty rooms in the house; you may choose any one you like."
However, upon seeing Chu Qinghe's reaction, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He then asked, "Interesting. If you're not interested in the money, why did you agree so readily?"
Chu Qinghe smiled and said casually, "The young lady herself has an extraordinary demeanor and temperament, which is incomparable to that of ordinary wealthy families. She doesn't seem to be from Yushui City."
"Such beauty, yet she dared to come to this small place alone and remain unharmed, she must have had the right to be confident."
"If they want to do anything to harm me, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it."
"Since that's the case, instead of needlessly causing trouble, why not just go along with the young lady's wishes?"
"Moreover, having such a beautiful woman like you in the same courtyard is quite pleasing to the eye."
"At this point, why should I bother to make things difficult by refusing?"
It's not that Chu Qinghe didn't want to refuse; after all, who would agree to a stranger suddenly wanting to stay in their home?
Knowing that the person opposite him was Dongfang Bubai, how could Chu Qinghe refuse?
What if after I refuse, Dongfang Bubai sneers and beats me up before asking again?
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Dongfang Bubai raised his eyes slightly.
A few breaths later, Dongfang Bubai's gaze towards Chu Qinghe unconsciously held a hint of interest.
Then, with a playful remark, he said, "You certainly see things clearly."
After saying this, Dongfang Bubai put down his teacup, got up and walked towards the other rooms, clearly choosing where he would stay.
As Dongfang Bubai went in and out of these rooms, Chu Qinghe rested his chin on his hand, quietly watching Dongfang Bubai.
After a short while, Chu Qinghe stood up and said to Dongfang Bubai, "I still need to go out to buy some things. Please make yourself at home, Miss Dongfang. If the maids at home return later, please have them prepare lunch."
Seeing that Chu Qinghe was about to leave, Dongfang Bubai gave a soft "hmm" without any intention of asking any more questions.
Chu Qinghe slowly walked outside.
Only after Chu Qinghe's figure disappeared from sight did Dongfang Bubai chuckle and say, "Interesting."
As the voice faded, Dongfang Bubai turned slightly, his gaze returning to the enormous camellia tree in the courtyard.
.........
One hour later.
It was almost noon when Chu Qinghe, who had gone out earlier, leisurely returned home.
When Chu Qinghe entered the inner courtyard, there were some sounds coming from the kitchen, including the sound of chopping vegetables.
However, Dongfang Bubai was nowhere to be seen in the courtyard.
However, the door to one of the rooms was closed.
It is clear that Dongfang Bubai is in that room at this moment.
After asking the person to put the previously purchased items into his room, Chu Qinghe paid and let them leave.
Hearing the commotion outside, Qu Feiyan, who was originally in the kitchen, also poked her head out from there.
After glancing at the closed room, Qu Feiyan asked, "Young master, who is that young lady in the room?"
Chu Qinghe replied, "Dongfang Bai, the former owner of this place, is now revisiting and is thinking of staying with me for a while."
Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan nodded in realization.
"But that girl is so beautiful, and her temperament is different. She doesn't seem like an ordinary person. Young master, you should be careful."
Looking at Qu Feiyan, who was reminding him, Chu Qinghe smiled gently.
Then he patted Qu Feiyan's head and said, "Okay, go cook!"
Seeing Chu Qinghe's nonchalant attitude, Qu Feiyan pursed her lips and turned to walk into the kitchen.
However, as she walked, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but glance into the room where Dongfang Bubai was.
He muttered to himself, "Grandpa said that Dongfang Bubai always wore a fiery red robe, but I wonder if he's as pretty as this girl?"
With this question in mind, Qu Feiyan returned to the kitchen.
Soon after, the sound of a cleaver hitting the cutting board echoed from the kitchen once again.
In contrast, Chu Qinghe leisurely returned to his room.
As the door closed, Chu Qinghe opened the things piled up at the entrance.
However, they were packets of pre-ground medicinal powder.
However, there are so many types of these medicinal powders that there are probably hundreds of varieties.
After opening these medicine packets, Chu Qinghe would carefully inspect each packet of powder. Once he confirmed that there were no problems, he would put it into his system inventory.
Half an hour later, all the medicinal powder in the room had disappeared.
All that remained were the straw paper that had originally been used to wrap the medicinal powder.
Feeling the neatly arranged medicinal powders in his system inventory, Chu Qinghe smiled.
"That's convenient."
After tidying up the ground a bit, Chu Qinghe took the straw paper to the kitchen to be used as firewood for Qu Feiyan. Then, he returned to the courtyard and strolled around it as if taking a walk.
