Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 238 Family and Country in Dire Straits (8)

Gu Yao choked upon hearing this. He knew Xu Qing was good at imagining things, but he didn't expect her to be this good.

Did he mention anywhere that it was a girl?

Or is there somewhere that Xiao Jiu is the person he likes?

Gu Yao didn't understand.

He really wanted to pry open Xu Qing's head and see what was inside.

"I found a boy and I want to raise him."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing loosened his chopsticks, and the meatball rolled twice in the porcelain plate, staining the white plate with brown sauce.

"A man?!"

Gu Yao remained silent.

Is the focus on men?

Shouldn't the focus be on the child?

“That child must have suffered a misfortune at home. He must have been doing quite well before. Anyway, I’m all alone, so I’d like to take care of him so he’ll have some company.”

Gu Yao's face showed a hint of loneliness, which made Xu Qing, who vaguely knew about Gu Yao's family situation, feel a tremor in her heart.

He put down his chopsticks and sighed silently. "Okay, let's eat now, and then we'll go to your place later to see the child."

Xu Qing lowered his eyes; in this world, one must be careful.

Who knows if that child is an ingrate, or a spy trained by some organization from childhood?

A-Yao is a simple person.

Then let him be in charge.

Ah Yao used to protect him at school, and now that he has the ability, it's natural for him to protect Ah Yao.

If the child were unruly, it would be easy for him to die without anyone noticing in these chaotic times.

Gu Yao smiled and said, "Okay, after we finish eating, I'll take you to see that child. I'm sure you'll like him."

Gu Yao, who has eight hundred layers of filters on his own stupid system, thinks that Xiao Jiu is the cutest.

Xu Qing looked at Gu Yao's carefree laughter, sighed helplessly, and put a piece of stir-fried pork on his plate. "Eat quickly, and then go take a look so I can get this done for you as soon as possible."

Gu Yao picked up his chopsticks and nodded.

***

Xu Qing drove the people back to the courtyard where Gu Yao was currently living. Looking at the somewhat desolate courtyard, he clicked his tongue lightly, his gaze showing a hint of disdain.

He got out of the car and opened the door for Gu Yao. "Yao, I have an unused courtyard here. There are servants who take care of it. The courtyard is also quite large. Why don't you stay there?"

Gu Yao looked up in confusion, seeing the somewhat distressed look in Xu Qing's eyes. Helplessly, he rubbed his forehead and raised his hand to interrupt Xu Qing, "Xu Qing, I live alone and just want some peace and quiet. This courtyard is clean and close to the Yan family, so there's no need to trouble yourself."

Xu Qing choked up, looked at the courtyard gate with its slightly peeling paint, and swallowed her words back despite her disagreement.

He knew that Gu Yao wouldn't be polite to him casually.

Gu Yao is not someone who would easily compromise himself; if he really couldn't live comfortably, he would naturally move.

It seems that A-Yao is really quite satisfied with this place.

He stopped talking.

It's more important to check on that child right now.

Seeing that Xu Qing's expression was not good, Gu Yao raised his hand to adjust his glasses and joked, "What's wrong? Can't my little temple accommodate a big Buddha like Young Master Xu?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing became somewhat anxious, "A Yao clearly knows that's not what I meant."

Gu Yao, holding the book box, turned and walked towards the courtyard gate. "I have no idea what Young Master Xu means."

Looking at the young man's sturdy back, like a pine tree, Xu Qing felt somewhat helpless.

Even after all these years, A-Yao still likes to joke about the stupid things he did in school.

Can't you think of something better?

He is very mature and composed now.

Gu Yao handed the book box to the gatekeeper, turned to look at Xu Qing who was still standing there, and raised a slightly mocking smile, "What, does Young Master Xu really not want to enter this little temple?"

Xu Qing snapped out of her daze upon hearing this, and felt a headache coming on.

Ah Yao's mouth is still so sharp.

Hasn't her temper improved a lot in the past few years?

Why is it that when I get here, it's still the same as before?

He's asking me for a favor, but it's like I'm the one doing the asking.

Xu Qing looked up and replied, "Coming."

His deep voice carried a profound sense of helplessness.

Seeing that the person had come to their senses, Gu Yao gave a light snort and walked directly into the courtyard.

Xu Qing looked at that noble and aloof figure and resignedly followed.

The system's senses are always particularly sharp. Just as Gu Yao stepped across the courtyard gate, a boy with light golden hair ran out from the main house.

"elder brother."

Gu Yao caught the boy, his tense expression relaxing as he straightened him and patted his head.

"Don't run too fast, be careful not to fall."

0529 stood up straight, her voice a little aggrieved, "I miss my brother."

Gu Yao reached out and gently smoothed the boy's hair.

"Then you still need to be careful."

"understood."

Gu Yao was quite satisfied; he remembered everything he had told his stupid system that morning.

Otherwise, he would definitely be exposed in front of Xu Qing.

It's just that the level of intimacy was a tiny bit... a little too much.

As soon as Xu Qing stepped through the courtyard gate, a yellow butterfly flew into Gu Yao's arms.

The way he called out "brother" was so sweet.

A-Yao also acted gently, even tidying up someone's hair.

Why doesn't he receive the same treatment?

Xu Qing, who had only ever been jealous of Gu Yao's sarcastic remarks, became an inflatable pufferfish.

So angry.

0529 seemed to have just noticed the person behind Gu Yao, and subconsciously shrank behind Gu Yao.

Her tender hands clutched the corner of the long gown, and she timidly peeked out, observing the person in front of her.

It seemed like she was a little scared.

She acted like a complete shy child.

Gu Yao's long robe was suddenly tugged, startling him so much that he looked down and raised an eyebrow at the boy's timid appearance.

The acting skills of their own stupid system are quite impressive.

He has at least five points of skill.

--small theater--

Xu Qing, who had frightened the child: "..."

Is he so scary?

He thinks he's alright looking.

Xiao Jiu, who was "frightened," said: "I'm a boy."

Xu Qing: "..." Is there any necessary connection between these two?

Xiao Jiu: "I'm a man."

Xu Qing: "You're a man, but that doesn't stop you from possibly being A Yao's childhood sweetheart."
