Wen Ziqing didn't know that Cao Yizhi and Liu Meiling had already imagined so much in this moment. Seeing that Cao Yizhi and Liu Meiling were looking at him with a somewhat dazed look, Wen Ziqing found it a little funny.
"Cousin, when you came out, did you see Yuanyuan?" Wen Ziqing asked.
"Yuanyuan and Xiaojun just went to the bathroom and turned left after entering." Cao came back to his senses and answered.
As Wen Ziqing disappeared through the doors of Qingxin Bar, Cao felt a sudden urge to speak with him. They were cousins, six years apart in age, and aside from a brief period when Wen Ziqing lived with the Cao family before turning twelve, they had rarely seen each other. The bond between relatives, however, was maintained through frequent interactions. Cao felt today was a rare opportunity; he had some work matters he wanted to ask Wen Ziqing for advice.
However, with Liu Meifang around today, it still feels a bit cumbersome.
Cao kept thinking about this, turned around and said to Liu Meifang, "Meifang, cousin Ziqing is here looking for Yuanyuan. Maybe he needs something. I'll go over and help. Can you wait for me inside, or can you go home by yourself?"
"Brother Yizhi, let's go together! We'll be relatives from now on." Liu Meifang turned around and headed for the bathroom without Cao Yizhi urging her. A handsome man in uniform! Even just one more glimpse would be nice. This was Liu Meifang's truest thought.
Cao had been following Liu Meifang with a gloomy face. In fact, Cao had been hoping that Liu Meifang would take the initiative to ask to go home, but she didn't expect Liu Meifang to be so tactless.
From the moment Wen Ziqing appeared until now, Liu Meifang had been acting like a bit of a fangirl, which had made Cao Yizhi very unhappy. Although Wen Ziqing was more handsome than him, he was still Liu Meifang's newly-minted boyfriend tonight!
Cao was unhappy and just kept walking.
A few minutes later, Cao Zhizhi realized something was wrong.
Logically speaking, it only takes about a hundred steps from the entrance of Qingxin Bar to the restroom, which should take one or two minutes at most. But now, five minutes have passed, and Cao still hasn't seen the restroom sign.
Were they stuck in... a ghost wall? That's right, it was already midnight, so it was easy to run into unclean things. Cao Zhizhi couldn't help but think of some strange legends.
"Meifang, wait." Cao held Liu Meifang's hand.
"Brother Yizhi, what's wrong with you?" Liu Meifang felt that Cao Yizhi's hands were shaking a little, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"My cousin and Yuanyuan haven't seen each other for a long time. They must have something private to say. Let's wait here for a while!" Cao took a deep breath and didn't dare to tell Liu Meifang about his doubts.
If she really encountered a ghost, Liu Meifang, as a girl, would definitely scream in fear, and it would be even worse if she angered the ghost.
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't know about the barrier she had set up, which almost scared Cao Zhizhi to death. However, even if she knew, Zhou Yuanyuan wouldn't care.
The "Time Travel" technique was too shocking, so Zhou Yuanyuan definitely couldn't watch it openly. If it weren't for Zhu Xiaojun witnessing Liu Meiling's disappearance with his own eyes, Zhou Yuanyuan even wanted to drive Zhu Xiaojun away.
As Wen Ziqing reached the door, Zhou Yuanyuan could already sense his presence. Shocked, she felt a surge of joy at the sudden appearance of the man she'd been thinking about day and night.
Zhou Yuanyuan "saw" Wen Ziqing and Cao Yi chatting, "saw" Liu Meifang staring at Wen Ziqing with fiery eyes, and "saw" that Wen Ziqing didn't give Liu Meifang any glance at all, and she couldn't help but smile.
"Zhou Yuanyuan, here's your pillowcase." Zhu Xiaojun didn't know why Zhou Yuanyuan was laughing, but he still dutifully handed her the pillowcase.
This pillowcase was secretly taken out from Liu Meiling's room by Zhu Xiaojun while he was using the restroom. When Zhu Xiaojun went to Liu's house to get clothes, Xiao Fanghua didn't believe what Zhu Xiaojun said at all. She didn't scold Zhu Xiaojun, which was the result of her repeated restraint.
"Just take it." Zhou Yuanyuan did not take the pillowcase from Zhu Xiaojun's hand. Anyway, the Chaos Pearl had already memorized Liu Meiling's scent the moment Zhu Xiaojun took out the pillowcase.
"Zhuzhu, get to work," Zhou Yuanyuan ordered. Brother Ziqing was back, and she needed to finish the job quickly and get home quickly.
"Alright!" Chaos Pearl was about to cast a spell when Zhou Yuanyuan called out again, "Pearl Pearl, wait a moment."
Zhou Yuanyuan had already "seen" Wen Ziqing enter the door of Qingxin Bar and was walking towards her.
"Okay, master." Although Chaos Pearl didn't understand why, it had always been an obedient spiritual treasure.
When seeing Wen Ziqing coming to the edge of the barrier, Zhou Yuanyuan made a hand gesture and opened a small hole in the barrier.
Wen Ziqing saw Zhou Yuanyuan at a glance, and he couldn't hide his excitement. He quickened his pace and strode into the barrier.
After Wen Ziqing walked into the barrier, the transparent barrier immediately closed, blocking out all the noise.
"Brother Ziqing!" Zhou Yuanyuan rushed towards Wen Ziqing with a smile. Zhou Yuanyuan's smile was very bright, and her round almond eyes had now become two crescent moons.
Wen Ziqing opened his arms, waiting for Zhou Yuanyuan to throw herself into his embrace. This was his little girl, who never hid her emotions in front of him. She smiled when happy and cried when unhappy. She was truly adorable.
"Brother Ziqing, when did you arrive? Have you returned home? Have you seen Grandpa Zeng and Grandpa Wen?" Zhou Yuanyuan lightly threw herself into Wen Ziqing's arms, asked with her little mouth open, and hugged Wen Ziqing's waist without a trace of fat with her hands.
Looking at Zhou Yuanyuan's bright eyes and holding the little girl's soft and fragrant body in his arms, Wen Ziqing felt that the empty space in his heart for the past few months was finally filled at this moment.
"I just arrived, but I didn't see the little girl I wanted to see first. I only saw Grandpa Xi. I'm still sad!" Wen Ziqing's face was as cold as usual, which made a guilty little girl couldn't help but shrink her shoulders and bury her head in Wen Ziqing's arms, as if doing so could alleviate the guilt in her heart.
Wen Ziqing's mouth curled up involuntarily, and he couldn't help but rubbed Zhou Yuanyuan's head with his big hands. His little girl had always used the same tricks since she was little. Whenever she felt guilty, she would hide herself.
"Even if I see you for the second time, I won't despise you." Zhou Yuanyuan muttered with her head down.
