Zhao Qichen's smile was as bright and sunny as ever. As soon as he arrived, he immediately attracted the covetous eyes of the girls in the village.
However, seeing Zhao Qichen standing in front of the Bai family's old house, the group of girls wisely refrained from coming over to join the fun.
They could stay anywhere in the Crescent Moon Mountain Brigade, but the only place they dared not stay was in front of Luo Zixi's house.
Luo Zixi's reputation speaks for itself; it's no joke.
Anyone who dares to loiter in front of her house might just get caught in one of her traps and get caught.
The horrific state of those village thugs who were hoisted up by Luo Zixi's traps is still vivid in people's memories.
The men were almost driven to the point of being unrecognizable by Luo Zixi's traps, let alone the young ladies.
So now, even though they are all eager to see Zhao Qichen, no one dares to go to the Bai family's old residence; they can only watch from afar.
At this moment, Zhao Qichen was standing at the door of Luo Zixi's house, with a large package on the back seat of his car.
"Old Zhao, you're here? Is there something for me today?"
Zhao Qichen was both amused and exasperated when he heard her call out like that.
“Luo Zhiqing, just call me Brother Zhao. Calling me Old Zhao makes me sound old.”
Luo Zixi responded dismissively:
"Okay, Lao Zhao!"
Zhao Qichen: "..."
But in the end, he realized what was happening and shoved the large package in front of Luo Zixi:
"It's from the south, still the same address as last time. What are you going to do? Return it? There's a letter attached; do you want to take a look?"
Luo Zixi raised an eyebrow, took the envelope, tore it open, and began to read.
It's the same old story.
However, the other party repeatedly emphasized in the letter that he had no malicious intent and hoped that Luo Zixi would not refuse his help.
He also insisted that Luo Zixi accept these things, as they were what she deserved.
At the same time, the other party seemed to have said something remarkable:
"Xiao Xi, please forgive my previous rashness. I may have misunderstood you. Perhaps you still feel resentful about your background, but your parents had no other choice! Soon you will be reunited as a family. I hope you can give them a chance..."
Upon seeing this, Luo Zixi couldn't help but frown. Could it be that her biological parents were about to come looking for her?
Are you kidding me?
Is this acceptable?
She genuinely didn't want to have even the slightest connection with the original owner's biological parents.
She was originally from another world, and she could clearly see how the original owner of this body lived through fragments of memory.
These supposedly biological parents might send money to her scumbag adoptive father every month, but that's about it.
Since you've been sending money to the Luo family all this time, why don't you come looking for her?
They watched helplessly as their daughter suffered all kinds of hardships, turning a blind eye and only sending child support to the Luo family before abandoning her.
Now he's thinking of looking for his daughter. What a joke!
Besides, that was the original owner's business, what does it have to do with Luo Zixi?
She's not the kind of woman who craves family affection and can't live without it.
"Never mind, just return it the way it came. I'll just burn this letter. That's all."
Zhao Qichen was eager to see what was written in the letter. However, he knew that Luo Zixi disliked gossipy men.
Therefore, even though he was very curious, he tried his best to suppress himself.
Finally, he smiled and said:
"Okay, we'll do it your way. What if they mail you packages again in the future?"
Luo Zixi shook her head directly and said:
"I don't have any relatives or friends right now, and anyone sending me things is a scammer. Anyway, if you see any of these big packages, just return them to the original sender without asking me!"
Luo Zixi was quite decisive and efficient, arranging things clearly in just a few words.
Zhao Qichen smacked his lips, and finally agreed:
“Alright, I’ll do as you say! Um, Luo Zhiqing, you see, I’ve been struggling to deliver these things to you today, and now I have to transport them back. We’re still revolutionary comrades, so can I ask permission to come to your house for a drink…”
Luo Zixi refused him before he could finish speaking:
"No! I have some drying work to do at home, and I can't let anyone come and disturb me. If you want some water, all the aunties in the village are willing to pour you some, and their daughters are even more willing. Do you need me to call out to them for you?"
Zhao Qichen quickly shook his head and waved his hands, saying:
"No need, no need, I was just saying. I'm not thirsty now, I'll leave right away. Don't worry, Luo Zhiqing, I'll definitely handle everything you arranged perfectly!"
"I'm way more reliable than Lao Bai. That guy's probably flown off somewhere now! Unlike me, I'm always available and obedient, right?"
As soon as Zhao Qichen finished speaking, a cold voice came from behind him:
"You rascal, how did you pick up the bad habit of talking behind people's backs? Looks like I didn't beat you up hard enough back in the capital!"
Bai Jingyan appeared here at some point. Upon seeing this, Zhao Qichen immediately smiled awkwardly but politely.
"Hey, Old Bai's here. I have some important mail to deliver. You guys chat first!"
Then he ran away in a flash. After he had run out of a safe distance, he looked back and found that Lao Bai had actually walked into Luo Zixi's house. He almost fell off his bicycle.
He begged countless times to go in for a drink of water, but Luo Zixi never gave him the chance.
Old Bai can now openly enter the house; the difference between people is so great. It's true that there's no harm without comparison.
Zhao Qichen could only ride away sadly and dejectedly.
Bai Jingyan handed a bag of things to Luo Zixi:
"Your commendation from above has arrived, here you go!"
Luo Zixi casually took it, and couldn't help but pout as she said:
"What good stuff could there be?"
Bai Jingyan smiled casually:
"For you, these are naturally not good things; they're just medals and certificates of honor. However, having these honors will bring you a lot of convenience wherever you go in the future, and that's the real benefit!"
"As for material rewards... the organization is facing difficulties right now, so don't think too much about it. However, there are a few coupons that are specially given to you, and I've also asked the higher-ups for some of the error stamps you've been collecting. There's plenty for everyone!"
Upon hearing Bai Jingyan's words, Luo Zixi's beautiful eyes lit up. Just as she was about to say something, Old Bai continued:
“Lolo, I didn’t want to get involved in your background, but I’ve recently received some news that your family is mobilizing resources to find you. They’ve also seen the news in the newspapers about you fighting enemy agents in Northeast China, so I’m afraid they’ll be coming to find you soon.”
