“Are you looking for Miss Ye Chenxi?”
“Yes, please.”
Chu Qing sat down in the living room. Just as he picked up a cup of tea, Ye Chenxi ran over, panting.
Chu Qing maintained his gaze and reminded himself that he was a gentleman…
“Hehe, what are you here for today? Are you here to play with me?”
Ye Chenxi sat beside Chu Qing and did not care about her image at all. She picked up the cold tea and took a sip.
“It’s not…”
Chu Qing sweated. Ye Chenxi was about to inherit the family and become the head of the family. Why was she still so childish…
“Oh…”
Ye Chenxi was a little disappointed and said, “Then what are you here for?”
“I’m here for the collaboration!”
Chu Qing suppressed his anger and threw his backpack in front of Ye Chenxi.
“Here, there are 30 of them. Use them as you see fit.”
“That’s fast!”
Ye Chenxi’s face revealed a hint of surprise as she received the spirit talismans from Chu Qing. She had anticipated a wait of several days before receiving them, but to her astonishment, Chu Qing had managed to deliver all 30 spirit talismans in just one day.
“30. Is that all?”
“Yes, 1 didn’t get much sleep because I knew you were in a hurry. I had to work quickly.”
Chu Qing nodded.
Ye Chenxi was a little touched. She took the backpack and felt the aura brought by the unknown energy inside.
“How do I use it?”
Ye Chenxi asked.
“It’s simple. You only have to activate it with your internal energy to form a protective shield.”
“Just like that?”
Ye Chenxi found it hard to believe.
Chu Qing rolled his eyes.
“Okay, what’s the price for one?”
“That’s up to you. I don’t care.”
Chu Qing paused.
“By the way, this is for you.”
Chu Qing took out a jade pendant that he had prepared beforehand from his pocket and threw it into Ye Chenxi’s hand.
“How much does this cost?”
“It’s free. I specially made this for you.”
Ye Chenxi was stunned for a moment and her face turned slightly red. She did not expect Chu Qing to specially make one for her.
“Th-thank you…”
“What are you thanking me for? You can consider raising the price of those spirit talismans. I’ll be delighted.”
Chu Qing chuckled and turned to leave.
“Don’t you want to stay a little longer?”
There was disappointment in Ye Chenxi’s eyes.
“I still have to look for two other people. Mom will scold me if I go home too late at night.”
Chu Qing laughed and turned to leave.
Ye Chenxi burst out laughing. Only then did she remember that the young man in front of her was only an 18-year-old student who was about to take the college entrance examination.
Chu Qing left the Ye family and took a taxi to Chen Huahua’s house.
Chu Qing suddenly realized that he looked like a courier who delivered things everywhere.
When Chu Qing arrived at Chen Huahua’s house, he realized he didn’t have the key. He pondered for a moment and then used his spiritual energy to smash the lock. With a gentle push, he opened the door and stepped inside.
“Hello, delivery!”
Chu Qing shouted as soon as he entered. Only then did he realize that Chen Huahua was sleeping soundly on the sofa.
“What a pig…”
Chu Qing smiled and shook his head. He walked to Chen Huahua’s side.
Chen Huahua seemed to be having a nightmare as she kicked her legs.
Chu Qing caressed Chen Huahua’s head and said softly, “It’s fine. I’m here.”
“Boohoo, don’t leave me…”
Chen Huahua curled up like a kitten and grabbed Chu Qing with both hands.
It seemed like he had to spend more time with her in the future…
Chu Qing couldn’t help but think that Chen Huahua must be very lonely, so she had to put a computer everywhere.
Chu Qing sat in the darkness for a while before Chen Huahua slowly woke up. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw someone sitting beside her.
“Chu Qing?”
“Yes.”
Chen Huahua threw herself into Chu Qing’s arms. Chu Qing stroked her hair and said gently.
“Did you have a nightmare?”
“Yes…”
Chen Huahua pouted, tears flickering in her eyes.
“I dreamed of my mother again. She doesn’t want me and Dad anymore.”
Chu Qing comforted Chen Huahua as he listened. He did not expect Chen Huahua to grow up in a single-parent family.
He could not help but hug her even tighter.
Chen Huahua cried for a long time before she calmed down and stared at Chu Qing’s face.
“What? Is there a flower on my face?”
Chu Qing couldn’t help but find it amusing. Chen Huahua was wearing loose pajamas, her hair was disheveled, and there was a strand sticking up. She looked incredibly adorable.
“You won’t suddenly leave me one day, right…”
Chu Qing was stunned and his heart tightened for some reason.
Would he really not leave? One day, perhaps he would return to his original world. At that time, would he and Chen Huahua still interact like this?
However, he really could not bear to reject this kitten-like girl in front of him.
“I… won’t leave.”
Chu Qing said word by word.
“Hmph, 1 reckon you won’t dare to leave either. If you dare to leave, I’ll… I’ll…”
“What will you do?”
“I’ll bite you to death!”
