Doing homework?
When Qin Yan saw the message Qin Hanyue sent back, he tried to comprehend it with all the knowledge he had learned in his life. But he still couldn't quite understand the correct meaning.
"Homework? What's that?"
Isn't that a term students use? Did he make a typo?
Qin Yan was about to call him to ask what he meant, when he suddenly realized something: "Miss Qiao?" Is he doing homework for Miss Qiao?
"I almost forgot again that Miss Qiao is a student."
Indeed, even the most awesome hacker genius has to do homework.
So the Third Master is doing homework for Miss Qiao?
Why does that sound so funny?
The Third Master would really do anything for Miss Qiao.
He's really lovesick, putting aside company matters to do homework for Miss Qiao. If he manages to date her in the future, would he just stop going to work entirely for dates?
Definitely! Qin Yan already had the guy figured out completely.
Qin Yan called another assistant.
"The Third Master is doing homework, he's busy. Qin Yuchen will be in charge of the first half of the meeting, let everyone prepare."
"Doing homework?" The assistant was confused.
What's this new vocabulary? What does it represent? I'm really falling behind the times, am I going to be abandoned by the era?
Upon receiving Qin Yan's message, Qin Yuchen was also puzzled.
Even knowing that Third Uncle was pursuing Miss Qiao, and that Miss Qiao was a student, he couldn't connect the implications.
The dignified and stern Third Uncle he knew would never possibly do something like homework for someone.
Qin Yan hung up the phone: "Get used to it early, it'll benefit you guys. I can't be the only one to experience this."
After all, the Third Master didn't need to explain to him what he was busy with, so Qin Yan had reason to suspect he was doing it on purpose.
"He's already showing off before even dating her, who knows how he'll be once they actually date. He'll probably announce it whenever they hold hands."
After her shower, Qiao Ying came out: "Still not done?"
Qin Hanyue looked up: "Almost."
The clothes Qiao Ying was wearing, including what she had on at the moment - an ivory white nightgown - were prepared by Lin Cheng.
The skirt was slightly wide, reaching to her calves, revealing slender, fair legs. There was a thin strap tied into a bow at the neckline, and similar ties on the sleeves, with intricate and elegant patterns on the dress.
In Qin Hanyue's eyes, this was decidedly little girl's clothing, which made Qiao Ying appear even smaller.
In all the time he'd known her, Qin Hanyue had never seen her wear a dress.
She usually dressed casually, practical clothes without flair, as convenient as can be, very low-key.
With assistance from the servant, Qiao Ying returned to sit on the sofa.
The skirt hem rose to her knees as she moved.
Qiao Ying: "Let's do the rest tomorrow."
Qin Hanyue came back to his senses, his voice coming out hoarse: "It's...done now."
He sent the completed PPTs to the teacher.
Qiao Ying: "That was fast."
Qin Hanyue didn't respond. After a while his gaze moved to Qiao Ying's face, only to see two translucent beads of water clinging to her ear tucked behind her hair, contrasting beautifully with her fair complexion.
He was silent for a moment, then reached out and gently pinched her ear.
Her ear was very soft.
Qiao Ying tilted her head slightly, "looking" at him: "What is it?"
Qin Hanyue's thin lips moved faintly: "Nothing."
His fingertips gently wiped away the droplets, and Qiao Ying felt the spreading moisture on her ear, aware of his actions.
The mood, somewhat subtle just then, was disrupted by several rings from the phone.
Qiao Ying's gaze unconsciously turned toward the phone.
Qin Hanyue also retracted his hand, he picked up the phone to check the message for her, taking the chance to regain composure.
"Your teacher is praising you, hoping that when you return to school you can use these two PPTs to give a lecture to your classmates." Qin Hanyue said.
Qiao Ying: "Do you want to accept for me?"
Have him give the lecture.
Qin Hanyue asked back: "Should I accept for you?"
Have her give the lecture.
The two were like bickering children.
Qiao Ying: "You can try."
Qin Hanyue laughed, conceding defeat: "Let me help you back to your room."
Lin Cheng was hugging a cat, followed by several pedigree cats and the Doberman named Sack sharing the same name as Zac.
The dog Sack was like an overbearing mom, running around the few cats around Lin Cheng, afraid one might fall behind.
It was like they were out for a stroll. Strolling inside the castle.
Just then Lin Cheng happened to saunter over here and saw Qin Hanyue emerging from Qiao Ying's room. His tone was neither heavy nor light, as if talking to himself: "I said from the start, one room is enough."
He didn't wait for Qin Hanyue's response after speaking, just hugging the cat as he continued on his way.
"Woof!" The dog Sack barked at Qin Hanyue, then looked at Qiao Ying's door. He stood there staring at Qin Hanyue for a while. Then went back to tending to those cats.
Outside the castle the scenery was excellent, with expansive gardens and over a dozen gardeners busily working. All this belonged to Lin Cheng.
In the two days since moving into the castle, Qiao Ying had stayed inside the entire time due to her eyes.
Afraid she felt cooped up, after breakfast the next day Qin Hanyue took Qiao Ying outside the castle for some fresh air.
Qiao Ying asked: "Have you been to Country C before?"
Qin Hanyue: "I've come a few times on business, but was always in the eastern region, never the west."
Qiao Ying: "The architectural style and local conditions of east and west differ greatly, shall I take you out to see?"
With Yueying badly injured, she had surely already fled Country C. Anying knew she was with Lin Cheng, naturally she wouldn't waste effort staking her out. She was certainly recuperating and lying in wait domestically for Qiao Ying's return.
So Qiao Ying boldly took Qin Hanyue outside with her.
The car exited the castle.
Once downtown on the bustling streets, Qin Hanyue got out and walked around to open Qiao Ying's door for her, thoughtfully shielding the top of her head with his hand, afraid she couldn't see and might hit her head on the roof.
The streets were filled with people coming and going.
Qin Hanyue gripped Qiao Ying's arm as they walked among the crowds.
Qin Yan followed from a distance in his car.
"Woof!" Dog Sack sat in the passenger seat staring intensely as Qiao Ying disappeared into the distance, somewhat agitated, incessantly scratching the seat with his paws.
Seeing how antsy he was, Qin Yan was a little scared: "You won't...bite people, right?"
"Woof!"
Qin Yan shrank back nervously. When they went out, this dog had directly leapt into the driver's seat, sitting in the passenger seat. No matter what, he refused to get down.
So Qiao Ying brought the dog along.
Qin Yan thought to himself, what if this dog bites me later? Can I fight back?
He felt like this dog was more valuable than him!
And at that moment, Lin Cheng was scouring the castle looking for the dog, with even Sack's mother and several siblings helping search...
In the end, he even checked the surveillance footage.
The streets were bustling with people. Qin Hanyue described the sights for Qiao Ying as they walked, while also watching her footsteps.
She didn't seem to mind, not interrupting him at all.
A couple walked toward them hand in hand, chatting happily about something, even exchanging a sweet kiss right on the street.
Qin Hanyue's big hand gripping Qiao Ying's arm tightened briefly, then he released Qiao Ying and instead took her hand in his.
His chatter didn't cease, as if it was an inadvertent hand hold.
The moment their hands met, there wasn't much nervousness in his heart, because he seemed to know she wouldn't resist.
Everything was like water flowing to a stream, natural and effortless.
Suddenly, Qiao Ying halted.
