Seeing the time now surprised her greatly.
How could an artist time herself so accurately? Could she have been speeding?
Qiao Qiu looked at Gao Meng, then silently calculated the time in her mind and found that, without speeding, the arrival time was accurate.
Did Gao Meng even calculate the time spent at the toll booth?
Doesn't she realize that the time spent there would be completely different?
Qiao Qiu cast a questioning look at Gao Meng, who smiled slightly and remained silent.
Qiao Qiu was too lazy to ask any more questions. She helped unload the boxes and other items from the back of the house, and then they went into the traditional-style guesthouse.
The exterior is made of old wood, but it's very clean. It's only two stories high, with many potted plants downstairs and another potted plant in the corner upstairs.
Upstairs, there is also a balcony that offers views of most of the ancient city.
After Qiao Qiu finished moving her things, she stood on the balcony for a while and realized that the terrain here was slightly higher than other places.
"How do you feel?" Gao Meng walked to her side, leaned on the railing, and looked at the scenery.
"Yes, the scenery is beautiful, the location is good, and there are many things to see." Qiao Qiu nodded and praised.
"If you think it looks good, that's fine." Gao Meng said, "I've been here several times, and I always stay at this place."
"No wonder the boss seemed so familiar with you. I thought he was just naturally friendly, so I didn't think much of it," Qiao Qiu said.
“If you want to come again in the future, I will contact the owner of this place again,” Gao Meng said.
Qiao Qiu looked at her, feeling that there was a deeper meaning in her words, but she looked at her again and again and couldn't see anything. "Okay."
“It’s almost eleven o’clock. Let’s go out and play again this afternoon. I’ll do some sketching on the balcony later. You can lie down inside for a while.” Gao Meng noticed that she had slept for two hours in the car and seemed to be feeling unwell.
"Okay." Qiao Qiu nodded.
Gao Meng booked two rooms, one for Qiao Qiu and one for her.
Qiao Qiu thought this was perfect, as it would make it easier for her to practice her gaming skills.
After having lunch around 11 a.m., Qiao Qiu walked around the yard twice before going into her room to take a nap.
I wonder if fate has finally changed its mind, because she hasn't been through much trouble these past two months, and the male lead has been unusually well-behaved. Could it be because the female lead is now with her?
So, wouldn't you say she stole his love? Why isn't the male lead reacting at all? Could it be that he's actually fallen for that girl named 'Nana'?
Qiao Qiu slept for half an hour before being woken up by the ring.
"Master, I'm practically becoming your nanny. Gao Meng was absolutely right when she said that it feels like raising a pig."
"Little Jie, are you looking for trouble?" Qiao Qiu narrowed her eyes and looked at the ring.
The ring shuddered and chuckled, "Master, don't be angry. What I said isn't entirely wrong. Think about your past lives, and then think about this one. In your past lives, when you were in power, you would get up at six in the morning and be busy with national affairs until eleven or twelve at night. When you were a merchant, it goes without saying that you worked from dawn till dusk, meticulously calculating every penny, and almost never stopped. Now look at your last life..." The ring suddenly remembered that it had been unconscious in its last life and had no idea what had happened.
The ring coughed and continued, "Master, look at your life now. All you do is eat and sleep, and play games all the time. Even though you play games for a purpose, it's still playing."
Qiao Qiu stroked her chin and said, "Now that you mention it, it does seem to be true. Well then, let's just treat this world as a vacation. Anyway, the fate of being cannon fodder is over. Now, all we need to do is mess with the male lead, and that'll be fine."
The ring remained silent for a while, until she had changed her clothes and put on makeup, before saying, "Master, you've worked so hard for me. Just enjoy yourself in this life, Little Ring supports you."
Qiao Qiu touched the pattern and laughed, "At least you have a conscience."
"Master, I'm sorry. I neglected your feelings." The ring's tone was apologetic.
Qiao Qiu paused slightly. In her judgment, the ring was absolutely untrustworthy, but she always felt that the ring still had some conscience left.
The pauses in its speech are genuine; they are a normal expression of guilt.
Qiao Qiu became increasingly interested in the truth.
"Silly girl, don't overthink it. I'm just someone who never listens to you, aren't I?"
The ring said, "Master, I know you couldn't help yourself. When you truly fall in love with someone, how can you let go so easily? If you give up just because someone advises you, then it's not true love."
"Are you admitting that I'm with him?" Qiao Qiu asked.
"I'm sorry, Master. I will support you being with him from now on."
Qiao Qiu sensed a hint of gamble in the ring's tone, and she understood somewhat. She calmly replied, "I'm happy you think that way. In this cursed world, besides my lover, you're the closest person to me."
Yeah, the closest of relationships is the most superficial kind of friendship.
“Master…” The ring was quite touched.
Qiao Qiu felt a great deal of guilt from its barking, and alarm bells immediately went off in her mind.
What's going on? She's the one who got scammed, okay? Why is she feeling so guilty?
Could Xiao Jie be some kind of saintly white lotus or something?
Qiao Qiu couldn't help but shudder; this tomboy couldn't accept the "white lotus" type.
"Xiao Jie, help me find out where the male lead is."
"immediately."
The ring was very quick to locate people; seven or eight seconds later, it spoke up, "Master, be careful, the male lead has also arrived in this ancient city."
"No way, what's he doing here?" Qiao Qiu felt a deep disgust for the feeling that the male lead was always there no matter where she went.
"He's here on vacation...wait, he's not with his girlfriend." Ring was surprised for a moment, then went to look up the information, and then suddenly realized, "So the male lead and that woman have already broken up."
"I thought they were truly in love, but it turns out they're nothing special." Qiao Qiu smirked sarcastically.
Thump thump thump—
"Qiuqiu, are you awake?" Gao Meng knocked on the door and asked.
"Yes, you're awake. I'll be right there." Qiao Qiu, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, walked to the door and opened it.
Gao Meng was a little surprised when she saw her. However, Qiao Qiu's outfit was quite pretty: a light purple-red chiffon short-sleeved top with a floral pattern, paired with denim shorts and flats. She looked both beautiful and stylish.
Qiao Qiu glanced at her up and down. Gao Meng's outfit hadn't changed much: short-sleeved shirt, long jeans, and flats. Sometimes she looked cool, sometimes very simple, wearing a baseball cap and the same large earrings as Qiao Qiu.
She's so beautiful she can do whatever she wants; she looks good no matter what she wears.
