Chapter 583 His Gift
Shen Li answered quickly: "Brother Feng?"
"I remember Zhou Qiao told you that she really likes doing handicrafts?"
Shen Li exclaimed, "Ah: Yes, this topic has been mentioned before."
Qin Feng pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is a handicraft market around here?"
"A handicraft market? There's a large commercial market about twelve kilometers from here that sells a lot of handicraft materials. Brother Feng, do you want to buy some handicraft materials for Sister Qiaoqiao? I'm going out today anyway, I'll bring them back for you."
"No need, I'll go myself."
Only what he personally chose could prove his care for her.
"Okay, then call me again if you need anything."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Feng opened the map, located the market, and strode out the door.
...
Zhou Qiao slept until the afternoon.
According to her prediction, she thought that the first night at the Shadow Gate would be full of nightmares and she would not be able to sleep well. Who would have thought that she not only slept soundly, but also had several beautiful dreams.
The moment she woke up, she couldn't help but deeply despise herself. It must have been because she was too tired that she had let her guard down so easily in the great demon's territory.
She patted her face and got out of bed to wash up.
When she came out of the bathroom, her stomach growled.
She hasn't eaten anything since last night, she should be hungry by now, but she slept for too long and didn't realize it.
It was almost noon, and she hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so she could only go to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat, and also to check out the surroundings.
It's broad daylight now, those brats won't be spying on her anymore, right?
As Zhou Qiao was thinking this, she opened the door to go out, but unexpectedly, there was someone standing outside the door, and she couldn't help but scream in fright.
Qin Feng didn't expect that she would open the door just as he was about to knock.
What does this tell us?
This shows they have a good understanding!
He curled his lips into a smile and said, "Did I scare you?"
Zhou Qiao thought to herself, "You're standing at someone's door without making a sound. Who wouldn't be scared?"
But on the surface, she forced a smile: "No, no, I was just about to go out to find something to eat. What brings you here?"
"You're planning to go out dressed like this?" Qin Feng raised an eyebrow as he looked at her pink, fluffy bunny loungewear.
Zhou Qiao exclaimed, "Ah!" and then asked, "No way?"
Her clothes are very thick; she wore them when she didn't need to go out at the Imperial Palace. They were warm and comfortable.
Although Qin Feng had a good relationship with Zhou Sihai in the past, he hadn't really paid much attention to her. In addition, she would run away from him like a mouse seeing a cat, and he had hardly ever spoken a few words to her.
It wasn't until he learned that she was the girl from his childhood that he began to focus his attention on her.
This realization led him to discover that although the girl was over twenty, she possessed the girlish qualities of a seven or eight-year-old.
What a light green hair clip, a backpack with bunny ears, a bracelet with a kitten on her wrist, and... now this light pink bunny loungewear that makes her lips and teeth even more red.
Her eyes were round and big, blinking brightly, and she wore her hair in a bun.
He felt a sudden itch in his heart, and even had a desire to pat her head.
But he managed to control himself very well.
Because he remembered that she resisted his touch last night.
The sight of the girl stirred a strange, inexplicable possessiveness in him. He suddenly didn't want anyone else to see her dressed like this, so he coughed lightly and said, "It's cold outside. You'd better put on another layer if you don't want to catch a cold."
Zhou Qiao had no idea that the old man in front of her had been thinking in a complicated way in such a short time. Hearing what he said, she was a little confused, but adhering to the principle of "getting things out quickly and sending people away as soon as possible," she nodded and said "Oh": "You came to see me because...I have something to say?"
"Yes, I'll give you a gift," Qin Feng said.
"A gift?" Zhou Qiao was taken aback.
"I heard you like doing handicrafts. If you're bored, you can try this." Qin Feng said, handing her a large gift box.
Zhou Qiao subconsciously took it, only to find it heavy in her hand: "Hey, what's this? It's kind of heavy."
"Let's open it and take a look." Qin Feng helped her lift it up and led her back to her room.
After hearing the children's stories last night, Zhou Qiao's fear of Qin Feng lessened slightly, and seeing this, she did not stop them.
On the contrary, she was actually intrigued by Qin Feng's posture and quickly opened the box on the table.
"This is... cross-stitch?" Zhou Qiao asked in surprise, looking at the embroidered base that had been folded several times.
Qin Feng nodded slightly.
Zhou Qiao then unfolded the cross-stitch, folding it once, twice, three times, four times...
The more she looked at it, the colder her heart became.
Zhou Qiao was completely stunned when she hadn't even finished covering the entire table with the cross-stitch.
Good heavens, this guy actually gave her a "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" scroll! Is he trying to work her to death?!
She stared at the cross-stitch in disbelief, feeling her eyes glaze over and her fingers begin to tremble even before she started stitching...
She knew she couldn't have any expectations of this great demon!
He said he was giving her a gift, but actually he was just torturing her in a roundabout way!
He did it on purpose. He saw that she was too idle, so he arranged a job for her. This cross-stitch piece could fetch a lot of money if she finished it!
He's just exploiting her labor in a roundabout way!
Seeing her standing in front of the giant cross-stitch, seemingly lost in thought, Qin Feng assumed she was awestruck and asked with satisfaction, "Do you like it?"
Zhou Qiao swallowed hard, not daring to complain, and forced a smile: "I love it, I love it so much."
Qin Feng nodded: "I'm glad you like it. I picked it out myself."
He deliberately emphasized the word "personally," then looked at her earnestly.
Zhou Qiao was so angry she felt like her head was about to burst out, but she didn't dare to get angry at this filthy pervert!
What if she shows any displeasure and the other party kills her to silence her?
Sobbing, Qiaoqiao felt bitter inside, but she couldn't say it.
She took a deep breath, turned to look at him, and gave him her signature fake smile, saying, "Thank you so much, Mr. Qin!"
However, Qin Feng didn't give her a chance to react at all. He put the things down and said, "Take your time making these things. I'll buy them for you when you're done."
Zhou Qiao was instantly jolted awake. This cross-stitch was already nearly killing her, and she wanted to buy another one?!
She quickly replied, "No, no need, this is enough!"
Qin Feng took it as her being shy and instead said with some seriousness, "Zhou Qiao, you don't need to be so polite with me. I can give you ten or a hundred more of these pieces."
Upon hearing the words "ten" or "hundred," Zhou Qiao's vision went black, and she nearly fainted.
They're targeting her, that's exactly what they're doing!
It means that after she finishes embroidering this one, there are countless other pieces like these waiting for her!
She knew there was no such thing as a free lunch; he was making her pay off her debt in this way!
She finished embroidering so he could take it out and sell it for money!
