    249: Dragon Quest

    Thinking that Yanyang was about to be picked up, Qiao Qiao was quite reluctant to leave. As a result, from noon to evening, the legendary mother did not show up, as if she had forgotten about it.

    Zhou Yuanchuan lazily dialed the TV program with his chin supported on one hand, and said in a accustomed manner: “No need to wait, you will get used to my sister’s way of doing things in the future.”

    Qiao Qiao: “Aren’t you punctual?”

    Zhou Yuanchuan glanced at her: “No, she is just keen on tormenting me.”

    Qiao Qiao: What kind of family is this…

    “Since no one is here, let’s go to bed.” Qin Ruicheng suddenly became more energetic, “Don’t worry, I don’t have any choice. As long as Xiao Qiao is mine, I can sleep anywhere.”

    Qiao Qiao complained helplessly: “Let me interrupt, it’s only six o’clock in the evening.”

    “Go to bed early and get up early.” He chuckled, “But with me here you may have to go to bed early and get up late.”

    “No.” Zhou Yuanchuan said calmly, “Xiao Qiao wants to watch TV with me.”

    Qin Ruicheng snorted: “Okay, who doesn’t know that you never watch such boring things.”

    Zhou Yuanchuan: “I want to watch it starting today.”

    After he finished speaking, he put down the remote control. A popular quiz show was playing on the TV. The host dressed funnyly danced in front of the four guests, and a huge line of words was printed on the screen behind him: “Which month has 28 days?”

    The fat female guest raised her hand: “I know, February!”

    Zhou Yuanchuan hummed: “No, it’s every month.”

    The light box at the feet of the female guest suddenly burst into brilliant light, and accompanied by a burst of electronic music, the host announced excitedly: “Congratulations, you got the answer right!”

    The TV screen went out with a bang, and Zhou Yuanchuan threw the remote control aside.

    “Pfft.” Qiao Qiao quickly covered his mouth and suppressed the inappropriate smile.

    Qin Ruicheng gloated: “Why don’t you watch it?”

    Zhou Yuanchuan: “The answer is not rigorous at all.”

    “Yes, what’s the point of watching TV? It’s more fun for Xiao Qiao.” After Qin Ruicheng finished speaking, he put his arms around Qiao Qiao and pulled him into his arms, looking at Zhou Yuanchuan provocatively.

    Two men sat on the east end of the sofa and the other on the west end of the sofa. Qin Ruicheng was sharp and Zhou Yuanchuan was elegant. They were obviously two types of people who should not interact, but they pushed the atmosphere in the living room to a subtle level.

    The battlefield is invisible, and no one is willing to give up tonight’s spoils.

    Qiao Qiao: However, I just want to sleep by myself.

    Zhou Yuanchuan’s eyes fell on Qin Ruicheng’s arm holding Qiao Qiao, and he said calmly: “Do you want to win by force?”

    Qin Ruicheng smiled: “There’s no rule that you can’t rely on force, right? If you can take it away, you can take it.”

    He arrogantly pushed Qiao Qiao in the direction of Zhou Yuanchuan, but the strength of his hand did not weaken at all. His muscles were tense and he was always on alert.

    Zhou Yuanchuan: “But I have a guard.”

    Qin Ruicheng: “…”

    Zhou Yuanchuan: “At this time, they should be patrolling the area at night.”

    Qin Ruicheng let go of Qiao Qiao with a dark face: “…Okay, I understand, there is no need to emphasize it again.”

    “Xiao Qiao.” Zhou Yuanchuan turned to her and said warmly, “Want to come to my room tonight? I miss you very much.”

    I have to say that Qiao Qiao was really shaken for a moment.After all, she admires Zhou Yuanchuan’s looks very much. When this thin beauty with no offensive power looks at you affectionately, you will instantly understand the state of mind of the dim-witted kings in history who played tricks on the princes.

    At that moment, you were willing to agree to whatever he asked for.

    Qiao Qiao: “I——”

    “Xiao Qiao.” Qin Ruicheng grabbed her hand and started acting, “When I heard Song Qiyan said you were here, my company abandoned me and drove thousands of kilometers overnight to come here! My neck hurts! My shoulders hurt too. I have worked so hard. Can you bear to let me sleep alone?”

    Qiao Qiao: “But I think you are quite normal this morning.”

    Qin Ruicheng: “It’s because the pain is numb, and the sensation is numb. It got better at night, and then it started to hurt. If you don’t believe me, touch it.”

    After he finished speaking, he took Qiao Qiao’s hand and placed it directly on his abdominal muscles.

    Qiao Qiao: Hello, where are the neck and shoulders that we promised?…Wait, does it feel so good?

    She was shocked, starting from her chest and touching her abdominal muscles one by one until the last one was hidden in the man’s belt. Just as she was about to continue downward, Qin Ruicheng grabbed her hand and said with an evil smile: “The rest is not free.”

    Qiao Qiao could only take back his hand without hesitation…

    Qin Qin’s figure is really good, better than professional male models, right?I haven’t looked at it carefully before, but it is indeed different today. The lines are obvious, the bumps are uneven, and there is no fat at all. These days, all the animals without fat are rare animals, right?Wow, I’m really sorry I didn’t touch more this morning.

    Zhou Yuanchuan was also staring at Qin Ruicheng’s abdominal muscles. The latter lifted up his clothes proudly: “Are you envious?”

    “No.” The man said calmly, “I don’t want to be thought to be simple-minded.”

    Qin Ruicheng: “I know you are envious.”

    Zhou Yuanchuan bit his lip slightly, and after a while he reluctantly admitted: “Only a little.”

    Qiao Qiao weakly raised his hand: “Can I apply to sleep on my own?”

    Qin Ruicheng gritted his teeth: “You dare?”

    Qiao Qiao: “So…you have to choose someone, right?”

    ————

    Yanyang was wearing blue bear pajamas, looking up at Qiao Qiao at the door, his fair and tender face bulging: “I haven’t reconciled with you yet.”

    “How about making up now?” Qiao Qiao took his hand and shook it perfunctorily a few times, turned around and quickly locked the door, “I’ll make do with you tonight… Phew, luckily I ran away quickly, I hope Qin Qin hasn’t noticed yet.”

    Yanyang: “Is the new guy also your man?”

    Qiao Qiao didn’t know how to define her relationship with outsiders, so she could only nod vaguely.

    Yan Yang: “It seems that the four or five claims are not a lie to me.”

    He sighed like a little adult and shook his head: “Why did I fall in love with you?”

    Qiao Qiao felt that it was necessary to take this opportunity to correct his views on marriage and love. She squatted down so that her eyes were level with Yan Yang. It is said that this is a communication gesture that will make children feel respected. She said seriously: “You will meet someone better than me in the future. You really don’t need to waste your time on me.”

    Yanyang’s eyes moved: “Do you think I’m wasting my time?”

    Qiao Qiao: “…You can also say that, after all, our age difference is a bit big.”

    Yanyang: “But I think it’s just right, and you care about me very much. Very few people care about me.”

    It turned out that he was not unaware of Zhou Yuanchuan’s indifference.

    Qiao Qiao: “You still have family, isn’t your mother coming to pick you up?”

    Yanyang suddenly smiled, showing a small tiger tooth: “Do you know why I was born?”

    Qiao Qiao shook his head.

    Yanyang: “Because my mother wanted to do an experiment to prove whether high IQ genes can be stably inherited, so she carefully selected my father, who was known as a child prodigy, and then they had me. I was able to speak not long after I was born, so my mother was very happy. She felt that the experiment was successful.”

    “But within a year, she was unhappy again.” Yanyang’s tone was calm, as if he was telling someone else’s story, “Because she found that I was not as smart as she thought. She thought that one plus one could be greater than two, but genes are not like this. I am not even as smart as my father, let alone compared with my uncle.”

    Qiao Qiao’s heart clenched when she heard this. She denied it repeatedly: “Who said that? You are very smart. You are already the smartest child I have ever seen. Besides, people’s IQ is not fixed. Your uncle also told me that he was also very stupid when he was a child. He couldn’t even do math problems.”

    Yan Yang moved his lips: “You don’t need to comfort me. Mom tells me about my uncle every day. I know that he never misses a math question in school, and he won’t be wrong if the teacher is wrong.”

    Qiao Qiao:……

    She hugged Yanyang gently and patted his back comfortingly. The child’s body was only a little bit like she was hugging a small animal: “You can cry if you want to, it’s okay.”

    Yan Yang: “I won’t cry. Only cowards use tears to cover up failure.”

    As he said this, his voice became hoarse at the end. After a while, Qiao Qiao felt a few drops of warm liquid fall on his shoulders.

    If you think about it carefully, Yanyang likes her mostly out of instinct.

    He is attached to the person who cares and cares for him like a mother, but he can’t draw any warmth from his biological mother. He can only grasp her life-saving straw like a drowning person. And because he is too young, he can’t tell whether there is more love or attachment in this kind of relationship.

    Sure enough, Zhou Yuanchuan was right not to have children, he would not be a good father.

    Yanyang cried for a while and then fell asleep due to the emotional ups and downs and exhaustion. Qiao Qiao carefully picked him up, put him on the bed, and covered him with a quilt properly.

    The child opened her eyes drowsily and grabbed some of her clothes: “Do you want to leave?”

    “I’m not leaving.” Qiao Qiao’s heart melted and she gently touched his head, “I’ll sleep here tonight.”

    Yanyang: “Can you tell me a story? All the mothers in the book tell stories to their children.”

    Qiao Qiao: “Uh… do you know the story of Cinderella?”

    Yanyang: “I know, but I want to hear what you have to say.”

    Qiao Qiao cleared his throat and started talking about the classic “A long time ago”.She had a rough impression of Cinderella in her mind, but having an impression and being able to tell it were two different things. If it really didn’t connect, she could only use her imagination. Anyway, in her version, at the end, Cinderella left the princess alone and went off to fight the dragon.

    She looked at Yanyang’s face and secretly wiped the sweat. Fortunately, the child was asleep, otherwise it would be difficult to write down the story.

    Feeling sleepy, Qiao Qiao yawned, took off his shoes and went to bed and fell asleep.

    This incident seemed quite ordinary to her at the time, and this day was as boring and ordinary as other days. She didn’t know that a story she casually told changed another person’s life, so that many years later, when Yan Yang grew up, he still stubbornly believed that this was how Cinderella should end, fighting with the dragon for the rest of his life.
