Chapter 586 Don't you remember this cicada?
Having made up her mind, Zhou Qiao got up very early the next day.
Manager Xu's efficiency is truly remarkable. He said the planting could begin the next day, and sure enough, when Zhou Qiao arrived at the place from yesterday, she found that the greenhouse had already been covered up.
It's not just a large area; there are also some winter-hardy flowers and plants planted around it, which adds a touch of brightness to the area.
She took a deep breath, clapped her hands, and began watering the flowers.
In the pavilion not far away, Steward Xu stood beside Qin Feng and chuckled, "Sect Master, look how happy Miss Qiaoqiao is! She got up early this morning to water the flowers and plants."
Qin Feng nodded and glanced at him: "That's a good idea."
Steward Xu scratched his head sheepishly and said with a smile, "I only thought of making Miss Qiaoqiao feel like she was coming home because I heard from you that she used to farm at the Imperial Garden."
He didn't forget to flatter her as he spoke: "Speaking of which, it really comes down to your boldness, Sect Leader. This row of houses is worth a lot of money, but you just waved your hand and demolished them, clearing out such a large piece of land for Miss Qiaoqiao. If it were me, I would definitely be moved to tears!"
Qin Feng's expression revealed a hint of satisfaction: "The New Year is coming soon. Go and collect an extra month's bonus. Tell the person in charge that it was me who said it."
Steward Xu's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied, "Yes, thank you, Sect Master!"
Qin Feng waved his hand, ignoring him, and walked towards Zhou Qiao.
Zhou Qiao was watering two wintersweet plants with great effort and was about to fill the third bucket when she looked up and saw Qin Feng approaching.
Now, whenever she sees him, she can't help but want to grind her back teeth, but she manages to resist.
She took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Mr. Qin, what brings you here?"
Qin Feng glanced around: "Do you like this place?"
Tell me if I like it or not!
This man not only exploited her labor, but also insulted her with such words!
This is intolerable! Zhou Qiao gritted her teeth and asked, "Master Qin, although it's winter now and the price of vegetables is a bit high, Shadow Gate is such a large enterprise that it shouldn't be short of money for vegetables. How about I just stop growing these vegetables?" Zhou Qiao cautiously probed.
Qin Feng looked at Zhou Qiao and after a long while said, "You don't like planting these?"
Zhou Qiao chuckled and pretended to be clueless, remaining silent.
Qin Feng nodded: "Understood."
Zhou Qiaoxin had a sudden thought: Could it be that the great demon had a change of heart and was finally willing to let her go?
The next moment, Qin Feng said, "Tomorrow I'll have Old Xu pull these up and plant medicinal herbs for you."
Zhou Qiao: "??"
She realized what she meant and quickly waved her hands, "No, no, no, Mr. Qin, that's not what I meant..."
"Don't be shy, this will be your home from now on. If there's anything you don't like, just tell me, and I'll do my best to accommodate you," Qin Feng said naturally.
The way to satisfy her is to stop her from growing vegetables and make her grow medicinal herbs instead?!
What's the difference? It's still farming!
Zhou Qiao was on the verge of tears and instantly deflated.
Seeing her pout, Qin Feng chuckled and said, "I was just telling the truth, no need to be so touched."
He hesitated for a moment, then took out a cicada woven from resilient grass from his pocket: "Zhou Qiao, do you still remember this?"
Zhou Qiao was stunned when she saw the cicada, and couldn't help but exclaim, "You, how dare you touch my things like that!"
This cicada was woven for her by Sister Kong, and she carefully kept it in her backpack. She never expected that the big devil would find it!
Qin Feng pursed his lips: "This wasn't something I moved on my own; it was a gift from you."
Zhou Qiao scoffed, "Me? Give it to you?!"
Qin Feng nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "You don't remember."
Should I remember?!
That's not true at all!
Zhou Qiao was starting to question her life. This big devil took her things and was still so self-righteous, spouting nonsense. Wasn't he just trying to take them for himself?
They're incredibly heartless and shameless!
She cursed him inwardly, but on the surface she said obediently, "Hehe, if you like it, you can take it."
After saying that, she turned her head and continued watering the flowers, not wanting to see him again.
That cicada was a gift from Sister Kong; it was very precious to her.
She was afraid that if she looked at him again, she wouldn't be able to control herself and would try to snatch him back!
But she was too timid to act recklessly, after all, it was someone else's territory.
Qin Feng took this as a tacit agreement, smiled, and carefully tucked the cicada into his pocket: "Is there anything you're not used to living here?"
Zhou Qiao paused in her watering motion.
The man seems to be in a good mood. If she takes the opportunity to make a request, is there any chance he might grant it?
She changed her mind, put down the kettle, looked at Qin Feng and said, "I'm fine with where I am here, but there's just one thing, it's too stuffy."
Qin Feng frowned: "With cross-stitch resilient grass and such a large area, you still feel stuffy?"
“It’s not the same thing. I’ll do what you’ve arranged for me, but right now I want to go out for a walk!” Zhou Qiao said, hands on her hips.
Qin Feng's gaze deepened slightly: "I remember you mentioned this to me before, but it was rejected."
"You... what's wrong with just letting me go out for a bit?!" Zhou Qiao was furious.
"Nothing much can be done, it's just that we might never find you again," Qin Feng said calmly.
Zhou Qiao choked, then simply said, "Then I won't go out. Can you find someone to talk to me?"
Qin Feng looked up at her: "Who are you looking for?"
"Hmm... Sister Kong! Is Sister Kong alright? My grandfather asked Sister Kong to take care of me with you before, but I haven't seen her since I came here!"
Qin Feng hesitated for a moment: "Are you sure it's just chatting?"
"What else can I do! Look at your entire Shadow Gate, there isn't a single girl. I feel so empty and lonely!" Zhou Qiao was determined to see Kong Wange, and she came up with all the excuses she could think of.
Qin Feng looked at her for a while and then said, "Okay, you can contact her yourself and let me know when you've arranged a meeting."
"Oh, I'm telling you... you're not going to join us, are you?" Zhou Qiao asked in horror.
For the first time, Qin Feng showed a somewhat speechless expression: "I just told the security guard in advance, otherwise they wouldn't let people in."
"Oh, oh, oh," Zhou Qiaoxin chuckled, "You're so kind, Master Qin! Thank you, Master Qin!"
It was rare for the girl to show a genuine smile after so many days. Although the smile still contained her usual flattery, it easily dazzled Qin Feng.
His heart softened, and he reached out to ruffle her hair: "Finish your work early so we can have lunch. It's getting late."
Zhou Qiao nodded: "Mr. Qin, please go ahead and eat. I'll be there in a bit!"
Qin Feng glanced at her again, and seeing that she was in high spirits, he didn't say anything about wanting her to have dinner with him. He just nodded and left.
Seeing Qin Feng leave, Zhou Qiao quickly took out her phone and called Kong Wange.
Kong Wange happened to be free today, so the two of them decided to meet in the afternoon.
The thought of Kong Wange coming gave Zhou Qiao a lot of energy, and she secretly resolved that once Kong Wange arrived, she would pour out all the suffering and grievances she had recently endured to her.
Sister Kong dotes on her, and she refuses to believe that after hearing all this, she can abandon her!
Although she was afraid of Qin Feng, she wasn't afraid of Sister Kong. Would she have any trouble leaving then?!
The thought of this made her even more excited, and she just wanted to see Kong Wange the very next second!
