Chapter 628 Whatever you like is fine
Qin Feng himself is not very sensitive to holidays. Lunar New Year's Eve is a day for family reunion, and most of his brothers in the sect go home for the New Year.
He had no relatives, so he spent New Year's Eve with Hou Kai and a few other boys every year.
However, given their young age and their status, he knew they wouldn't feel comfortable around him, so after having New Year's Eve dinner and exchanging red envelopes, he would usually leave first, leaving the remaining few to make a ruckus.
He, alone, with a glass of wine, watched the lights of countless homes until dawn.
On this day every year, he inevitably feels a sense of loneliness.
This year was different, because Zhou Qiao was there, and for the first time, he had some anticipation for such a day.
Of course, besides anticipation, he also showed a rare hint of nervousness.
He planned to confess his feelings to her tonight, taking advantage of the festive atmosphere.
Even if he doesn't succeed, he still wants to try.
After breakfast, everyone around the gate got busy putting up Spring Festival couplets and decorating the windows, while he stayed alone in his room, pondering what he wanted to say to Zhou Qiao.
Although he had made up his mind, he hadn't actually figured out how to bring it up.
There are countless ways to confess one's feelings, but he doesn't know which one is the most appropriate and easiest for her to accept.
All morning, he didn't look at any of the documents he was supposed to review. Instead, like a naive young man in his early twenties, he unconsciously wrote down many different "confession plans" on paper.
He pondered this over and over until his thoughts were interrupted by a burst of "noise" from outside.
"Hey hey hey, where did all these ducks come from? Let's get out of here!"
"Gaga gaga, gaga gaga..."
"Hey, you think you can just leave now! Where's the broom? You just wait here!"
"Gagaga..."
Qin Feng frowned, got up and walked out of the room, and immediately saw white ducks running all over the yard.
The ducks ran around everywhere, quacking loudly.
Outside, Steward Xu, who was herding ducks, was looking for a broom. When he saw Qin Feng come out, he quickly said, "Master Qin, are you disturbed? I don't know where this flock of ducks came from, I'll chase them all away right away!"
Qin Feng frowned as he looked at the yard full of ducks. Just as he was about to say something, Zhou Qiao rushed over from not far away with a small bag: "Oh dear, you naughty little things, what are you all doing here? Come back with me!"
She was talking and running when she suddenly tripped and fell. The bag in her hand slipped, and a bunch of duck feathers flew out, scattering all over the yard in the wind.
Looking at the duck feathers all over the yard, Qin Feng unconsciously touched his nose. He was about to go over and help Zhou Qiao up, but Zhou Qiao had already gotten up on her own. She seemed to have just noticed Qin Feng, and exclaimed "Oh!" with an embarrassed smile: "Master Qin, I'm sorry, I just bought these ducks this morning to make a down jacket, but I didn't keep an eye on them and they all ran into your yard!"
Hearing this, Steward Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew we'd never had any live animals like these before. Where did all these ducks come from? So Miss Qiaoqiao bought them. But Miss Qiaoqiao, you'd better keep a close eye on these ducks and make sure they don't run away. Master Qin..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Feng interrupted him at the opportune moment: "Buying ducks to make down jackets?"
Zhou Qiao was waiting for Qin Feng to speak.
She said the duck wandered over by accident, but actually she let it in on purpose.
Qin Leilei said he hated hairy animals, so she simply sent a scouting party of call ducks to test him. Starting with deliberately falling down and scattering duck feathers, she hid to the side and observed Qin Feng's reaction.
Seeing that although he was talking to her, he was always watching from a distance, she was overjoyed.
Qin Leilei finally acted reliably for once. It seems Qin Feng really hates long-haired pets!
She walked up with a smile: "Mr. Qin, you don't know this, do you? These ducks are Call ducks, which are different from ordinary ducks. After we make down jackets, we can raise them. Don't you think they are much cuter than ordinary ducks?"
Zhou Qiao grabbed one from the ground, held it up, and brought it close to Qin Feng's face: "Look how cute they are!"
The duck was suddenly held up in front of him, and Qin Feng subconsciously took a step back.
Steward Xu hesitated to speak, but shut his mouth awkwardly after meeting Qin Feng's gaze.
Qin Feng coughed lightly and said, "Yes, she is quite cute."
"Of course, would you like to touch it, Master Qin?" Zhou Qiao's eyes were full of anticipation.
Seeing Qin Feng frozen in place, Zhou Qiao became even more certain and deliberately said, "Master Qin doesn't like ducks? To be honest, I also bought some other pets. You can take a look."
As she spoke, she put down the duck, turned around, and called out loudly, "Tuanzi!"
The next moment, a Shih Tzu with fur all over its body came running in, wagging its tail.
It's small in size, with round, bright eyes, and looks like an adorable little princess.
However, these are not her characteristics. Her most distinctive feature is that she has a lot of hair. When she runs, the wind blows and she has a dandelion-like effect.
The puppy was very affectionate; as soon as it ran in, it licked and jumped around Zhou Qiao's feet.
Zhou Qiao turned around, picked it up, and leaned close to Qin Feng: "Mr. Qin, you don't like ducks, but you should like puppies, right?"
Qin Feng's body stiffened even more than before. Seeing the dog affectionately lick his hand, Zhou Qiao smiled and said, "Look at it, it really likes you!"
Seeing Qin Feng's face grow increasingly grim, Zhou Qiao became more and more agitated.
It's done! It's definitely going to work this time!
Her laughter grew even more unrestrained: "Master Qin, the Shadow Gate is too deserted. I'm thinking of keeping these pets inside. What do you think?"
Qin Feng opened his mouth, wanting to say something but then remained silent. After a long while, he only said, "If you like it, that's fine."
Zhou Qiao was taken aback. Why were these lines different from what she had expected?
His resistance was clearly written all over his face, so why wasn't he angry?
"Master Qin, are you sure? There are so many pets! They'll be running around the Shadow Gate every day from now on, and they're all furry!" Zhou Qiao reminded him, unwilling to give up.
