Chapter 590 I stayed in the room all night.
Zhou Qiao glanced at the wine glass and thought to herself that she was risking her life to accompany the devil today. If she didn't, how could she prove her sincerity?
She was planning to take down the big devil once and for all!
So she picked up her glass, nodded, and said, "Drink!"
Once there's the first cup, there's the second, the third...
Zhou Qiao lost control and ended up drinking too much.
It's not entirely her fault, but this wine was different from the ones she had drunk elsewhere. It tasted mellow, but it had a strong aftereffect and was quite intoxicating.
In addition, she was determined to please Qin Feng and wanted to take the opportunity at the dinner table to get more information out of him, so she drank one cup after another without restraint.
But Qin Feng thought it was a different story; he believed that Zhou Qiao genuinely enjoyed drinking.
He never forced anything on her, only hoping she would be happy and content, so he didn't try to stop her any further.
Qin Feng finished the meal completely, and Zhou Qiao was already feeling rather smug.
In her hazy state, she seemed to hear him say, "Don't call me Master Qin anymore."
Zhou Qiao chuckled sheepishly: "Then... what should I call you? Old Qin? Brother Feng? Little Fengfeng?"
Her face flushed, and her tone carried an undeniable air of naiveté. Qin Feng's eyelids twitched: "Have you had too much to drink?"
Zhou Qiao waved her hand: "No! I've drunk with my grandfather so many times, and I've never drunk too much. Don't look down on me!"
As she spoke, she suddenly lost control and fell directly into his arms.
"Hey," Qin Feng quickly put his arm around her, "Be careful not to fall!"
Zhou Qiao was very close to him, close enough to see into his pupils.
She pointed at him and counted: "One, two, three... three big devils! Where are you running, you big devils? Watch me transform and beat you up!"
Qin Feng: "..."
This was the first time he had been so close to someone, especially... a woman!
He has always disliked being touched by others. The last person who touched him now bows his head and walks around him whenever he sees him.
However, with the girl in his arms at this moment, he did not seem to feel any disgust.
He himself was surprised.
The person in my arms was too aggressive, like a kitten whose nails hadn't fully grown. They were great at intimidating people, but their aggression was practically zero.
He pulled the person who was about to slide to the ground up and hugged him tightly: "Don't move, I'll take you back."
Zhou Qiao was completely bewildered: "Go back where?"
"Go back to your room."
"Oh, go back to the room..." She pursed her lips, but then burst into tears without warning: "Waaah... I don't want to go back to the room, I want to find Grandpa..."
Qin Feng: "?"
He took a deep breath and scooped her up in his arms: "Your grandfather isn't here."
"Then where's my grandpa?" Zhou Qiao pouted. "Was it you? Did you take my grandpa away?!"
She struggled to get down, saying, "Give me back my grandpa, give me back my grandpa..."
Qin Feng's head was throbbing, his mind filled with thoughts of: "You devil, give me back my grandpa, give me back my grandpa!"
At that moment, he really looked like a great demon.
It was quite a struggle to get Zhou Qiao back to her room and onto the bed.
He patiently took off her shoes and saw that she was no longer as emotional as before. She was just rubbing her eyes in a daze, tears were still falling, and she could be heard sobbing occasionally.
Qin Feng had never felt more clearly than he did now that he was raising a child.
He sighed and bent down: "Want to sleep?"
Zhou Qiao shook her head, then nodded.
Suddenly, her fingers touched his Adam's apple: "Grandpa's Adam's apple."
Qin Feng froze on the spot. After a long while, he suppressed the heat within him, took a deep breath, and said, "Be good, your grandpa will come to find you in your dreams when you fall asleep."
"Hmm..." Zhou Qiao nodded, closed her eyes, and mumbled, "Then I'll go to sleep now."
Qin Feng unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief: "Go to sleep."
He tucked the blanket around her and turned to leave, but she grabbed his arm.
He paused slightly, turned around, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Qiao's eyes were a little dazed, as if she couldn't tell who he was at all, and she just instinctively said, "Don't go."
Qin Feng paused for a moment, then pulled up a stool and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Seeing that he really wasn't leaving, Zhou Qiao happily hugged his arm and sweetly smiled, "That's great."
Qin Feng's heart softened, and he was about to reach out and pat her head when he heard her mutter, "It smells like Grandpa."
Qin Feng: "..."
So she wouldn't let him leave, just because she felt he resembled Zhou Sihai?
Seeing that the person on the bed had already drifted off to sleep, he was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
The person on the bed had a red nose, fluttering eyelashes, and slightly parted lips with glistening water stains on them, whether from tears or snot, it was hard to tell.
Qin Feng smiled and shook his head. With his other hand, which wasn't being held, he grabbed a piece of paper from the bedside and gently wiped her face.
The person in front of him is actually very different from the little girl who handed him a cicada and calmly comforted him when he was a child. Time can really change a person.
But he felt that it was good that Zhou Qiao had become the way she was now.
Carefree, vivid and simple.
Completely different from his cold and bland life.
If he could, he would like to spend his whole life protecting her innocence, ensuring it is not disturbed or damaged in the slightest by the outside world.
...
Zhou Qiao slept straight through until the next morning.
The moment she groggily opened her eyes, she was nearly scared to death by the four faces pressed against the headboard of her bed.
She exclaimed "Ah!" and instinctively clutched the blanket tightly: "What...what are you doing in my room!"
Hou Kai chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law, you're sleeping so soundly."
Zhou Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then, memories of having dinner and drinks with Qin Feng yesterday flooded back like a tidal wave.
A moment later, she screamed in terror, "Aaaaaah—"
Old Qi, standing nearby, was startled: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell after a hangover?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ayan handed her a bowl, blinking her big eyes and saying, "Sister-in-law, this is honey water that the eldest brother prepared for you. It can help you sober up."
Zhou Qiao, however, didn't even bother to drink.
Her mind was filled with the horrific images from yesterday.
If her brain wasn't lying, she went to cook for Qin Feng yesterday to pledge her loyalty. Everything was fine at first, but somehow, she drank too much, and then...
The scene was too beautiful to recall.
All she remembered was clinging to Qin Feng's arm and refusing to let go, and calling him "Grandpa."
Oh God, someone give her a knife and kill her.
Or should she find a rope?
Anyway, it's probably better for her to end her own life than for the Great Demon King to finish her off, right?
At least it can avoid the social death aspect!
Hou Kai patted Ayan on the shoulder and said, "Why are you drinking honey water? Hurry up and bring the brown sugar water from the kitchen!"
Ayan said "Oh," turned around, and ran away.
A moment later, he brought a bowl of brown sugar water to Zhou Qiao: "Sister-in-law, drink this!"
Zhou Qiao was bewildered. She subconsciously took the drink and drank it. After finishing, she suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, why are you giving me brown sugar water?!"
Ayan looked at Hou Kai with an innocent expression.
