Chapter 490 This cockroach is pretty good, I want to keep it
Yue'er finally stopped her excited chattering, her small body lying on the handkerchief, her tentacles drooping slightly, like a deflated ball.
Its black bean-like eyes rolled around, and its voice, coming through its consciousness, was a bit awkward and embarrassed. "Yes, but I think... it's a bit difficult."
Gu Jiayue paused, her hand supporting it, and gently rubbed its shiny shell with her fingertips, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "What's the mission? Tell me, maybe we can find a way to complete it."
"The system said... let Zheng Qinghe kiss me." Yue'er's consciousness was obviously panicked, and even her little body was trembling slightly.
The scale of these words was like stepping through a layer of window paper for Yue'er, who had been brought up under rules.
Even though she was holding the cockroach's body, Gu Jiayue could clearly see a faint red color on its small head, as if it had been smoked by heat.
Gu Jiayue's eyes suddenly widened and her brows instantly twisted into knots.
"Xiao Du, this strategy system...is it legitimate?"
The system's mechanical voice remained calm, answering honestly, "After testing, the system is authentic. All issued tasks are in accordance with the program settings and character relationships, and there are no anomalies."
Character relationships?
Gu Jiayue was stunned for a moment, then her brows slowly relaxed.
Only then did she remember that Yue'er and Zheng Qinghe were originally an engaged couple. The system naturally accepted this close relationship, so the tasks would focus on how the couple get along.
So that's how it is.
In this case, the matter of changing bodies cannot be delayed any longer.
Gu Jiayue pursed her lips and asked, "Xiao Du, can Yue'er withstand another body swap with her current health?"
"Test results show that its health has just reached the critical point of normal." The system's voice remained steady. "To be on the safe side, we recommend completing Task Five before exchanging it. Furthermore, the custom-made simulated body will take some time to complete."
That’s right, in order to avoid the confusion that occurred last time when she changed her body, Gu Jiayue specially spent a lot of money to have it custom-made this time.
She asked the system for a body that was 80% similar to her current one.
It’s not that I can’t bear to leave Yue’er’s body, it’s just that this will save me a lot of trouble in explaining.
"Master Zheng, thank you for your hard work these days. I will take my pet back now." Gu Jiayue withdrew her thoughts and looked up at Zheng Qinghe.
Zheng Qinghe's eyes were still glued to "Xiao Qiang", and he couldn't bear to move away. Hearing this, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze, his hands unconsciously stroking the edge of the table. He pretended to be nonchalant, but his tone was a little stiff. "Okay, then you can take it away."
He paused, as if suddenly remembering something, and added, "If you're not busy, sit down for a while. I've prepared some things for it these days, so pack them up and take them away. There's no use for me keeping them."
"Okay, then I'll sit for a while." Gu Jiayue replied.
The housekeeper beside him had heard the order and hurried into Zheng Qinghe's room.
After a while, he came out with several packages, large and small, piled on the ground, taking up quite a bit of space.
Gu Jiayue looked at the packages and her eyes almost popped out.
It’s only been three days, how come there are so many things?
Zheng Qinghe stood up, walked to the package, and carefully opened the top one.
Inside was a small wooden house with doors and windows.
He pointed at the house, his voice soft and slow. "This is the little house I made for Xiaoqiang. The furniture inside is scaled down to the real thing. He loves the little bed and dresser the most. You have to take good care of them when you get home and don't let him break them."
He opened another package, revealing a collection of tiny dresses with intricate stitching and a variety of delicate jewelry. "Even though I can't wear these dresses and jewelry, I'll look at them every day. So, take them home and sort them and hang them up properly..."
"There's also a small courtyard being built. I'll send it over when it's finished in a couple of days..."
Lord Zheng, who has always been upright and dignified, is now like a nagging old woman. He flips through the package and explains everything in detail, fearing that Gu Jiayue will not remember.
At the end, he frowned and pondered. "How about I write out some instructions so you don't forget?"
Looking at him like this, Gu Jiayue couldn't help but purse her lips, afraid of laughing out loud.
She secretly looked up at Zheng Qinghe. His brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes focused, and when he mentioned "Xiao Qiang", there was a gentleness in his tone that he himself didn't even notice.
No wonder the strategy system chose him, this scene is really addictive.
Even the mature and steady Gu Jiayue couldn't help but ship the couple.
The Domineering County Magistrate Falls in Love with Me, the Cockroach!
"The white moonlight turns into a giant cockroach, and the top scholar bravely protects his wife!"
If I turned into a giant cockroach, would you still love me?
Every book that is released becomes a huge hit.
"It seems that Lord Zheng likes my Yue'er very much." Gu Jiayue said with a smile.
"Yue'er?" Zheng Qinghe was stunned and looked up at her.
Gu Jiayue extended the cockroach in her hand forward, her eyes curved. "This is the name I gave my pet."
Her movements were a little faster, and Zheng Qinghe had no time to avoid it.
The cockroach named "Yue'er" suddenly raised its little head and slightly tilted its front legs, as if to cooperate.
One man and one cockroach had a close contact.
The cockroach was so small that Zheng Qinghe couldn't tell whether his lips were touching its head or its forelimbs.
I just felt a buzzing sound in my head, and all the hairs on my body stood up.
He felt dirty!
After spending three days with it, he was no longer afraid of the little cockroach and even gradually began to like it.
But this kind of liking is treating it as a pet!
He had never thought of kissing a cockroach!
Can pets come into such close contact with people?
Can't it?
He raised his hand suddenly, wanting to wipe his lips, but when his eyes swept across Gu Jiayue's smiling eyes, his hand stopped abruptly in mid-air, his fingertips trembling slightly.
He was afraid that his reaction would be too obvious and make Gu Jiayue think too much.
Seeing that the mission was almost accomplished, Gu Jiayue hurriedly and carefully placed Yue'er into the small wooden house, and then gently held the house in her arms. "Master Zheng, we will leave first."
She carried the little house and left the county government office briskly, leaving Zheng Qinghe sitting alone at the table with a staring look in his eyes.
The housekeeper had been waiting nearby. Seeing this, he quickly had a basin of hot water poured in, wrung out a clean towel, and handed it over, his voice a little cautious. "Master, would you please wipe it?"
Those were cockroaches, notoriously dirty creatures. His young master, a germaphobe since childhood, had actually come into close contact with something like this. Not to mention the young master, even he, the bystander, felt his entire body tense up watching.
He estimated that the young master would have to suffer from nightmares for at least a month before he could recover.
Zheng Qinghe took the towel blankly, but did not wipe his mouth with it. He just put it on the corner of the table.
He looked up at the housekeeper, his tone surprisingly serious. "Go check on the yard the craftsmen built yesterday. Add a swing to it, too. I think Xiaoqiang would like it."
"Um... Miss Gu just said that the cockroach was called Yue'er." The housekeeper reminded in a low voice.
Zheng Qinghe curled his lips, disagreeing. "Who says a cockroach can only have one name? Jiayue calls her Yue'er, so I can't call her Xiaoqiang? I'm happy to call her Xiaoqiang, do you have any objections?"
"No, no, no, I have no objection!" The butler waved his hands quickly.
What kind of magic power does this cockroach have that can bewitch the young master in such a short time?
He quickly responded, "A swing, right? Can you make it pink?"
"Very good, add two pink bows." Zheng Qinghe nodded.
"Okay, okay, I'll do it right away!" The butler responded, and left the main hall as if escaping. It was really hard to serve a young master like this, so it was better to stay away.
The main hall finally quieted down.
Zheng Qinghe looked at the uneaten food on Yue'er's plate and suddenly lost his appetite.
He stood up and went back to the study.
Standing in front of the desk, his eyes involuntarily fell on the empty corner on the right.
Just now, there was a small basket covered with soft silk here. Xiaoqiang was holding a piece of cake in it, and he tilted his head to watch him write.
In fact, Xiaoqiang is very well-behaved. He never runs around or barks. Most of the time, he just holds the food and eats while watching him.
Moreover, it seems to have the same mysophobia as himself. It always goes to a fixed place to meet its physiological needs, and will hide away from him.
Who can not love a cockroach like this?
"Someone come here!" Zheng Qinghe shouted.
The servant guarding outside hurriedly pushed the door open and came in, bowing and asking, "What are your instructions, young master?"
"Go find out whether Miss Gu has returned to Taohua Village or stayed in the county town." Zheng Qinghe's voice was filled with unquestionable certainty. "If you find out where she is, report it immediately!"
Gu Jiayue was so busy at school that she definitely didn't have time to take good care of Xiaoqiang. He didn't mind helping her raise him for a while longer.
Well, he is such a good man who loves to help others.
