Chapter 92: Chapter 92: You in Your Previous Life
Gu Qiaoqiao stared at the hands Qin Yize stretched out, gritted her teeth, let go, and threw herself toward Qin Yize.
Qin Yize accurately caught Gu Qiaoqiao, spun around, and held the jumping young girl steady on the ground.
A fragrant scent wafted over.
Though she wore a down jacket, he could still feel that Gu Qiaoqiao’s body seed very soft.
Qin Yize’s body stiffened, and after a few monts, he nonchalantly let go of her.
Gazing intently at Gu Qiaoqiao, he noticed her fluttering black hair and asked, “Did you make that slingshot out of a hair tie?”
...
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded and showed him the rubber band that had broken into two pieces, “It’s already broken.”
“Who taught you?” Qin Yize asked with a hint of surprise.
You from your past life…
Gu Qiaoqiao silently said to herself.
She rembered him once saying to her not to underestimate so seemingly insignificant things, which, if used well, could save your life at a critical mont.
Then he pulled off the hair tie she used for her hair, picked up a stone from the ground, and shot it at a flower in the courtyard.
The flower was indeed hit.
Petals fluttered down to the ground.
Back then, she accused him of being ruthless to the flower.
That was one month before her accident.
Gu Qiaoqiao hid the thoughts that were surging in her eyes and raised her eyebrows playfully, “No one taught , I just played like this when I was little…”
Qin Yize’s gaze was profound, but he did not pursue the question further.
What astonished him was Gu Qiaoqiao’s accuracy, one hundred percent!
He could achieve such a probability, and it was said that a sharpshooter in the Northwest Special Zone could as well.
But for Gu Qiaoqiao…
A boundless chill welled up in Qin Yize’s heart, countless questions nearly burst forth.
Yet he suppressed them again and again.
Putting those thoughts aside, he reached out and naturally tucked Gu Qiaoqiao’s hair, which had beco disheveled by the wind, into her large scarf.
Then, taking her hand, he walked swiftly toward Stone Town.
As for those two wolves, they could wait until he had safely escorted Gu Qiaoqiao back.
Gu Qiaoqiao was still sowhat frightened at that ti.
After calming her breathing, she felt the warmth of Qin Yize’s palm.
His hand was always so hot, and being held by him, she felt as if her whole body was ward up.
However, she also felt a bit awkward and unnatural.
Trying to pull her hand away, she struggled a few tis, to no avail.
She glanced at Qin Yize’s calm profile and then noticed his coat, belatedly asking, “Are you all right…”
Qin Yize shook his head and did not speak.
His expression was calm, no longer showing what he might be thinking.
And as for Gu Qiaoqiao’s belated concern, he seed to be indifferent to it.
Gu Qiaoqiao thus closed her mouth.
After safely delivering Gu Qiaoqiao ho, Qin Yize and Gu Tianfeng, along with an excitedly howling Gu Zishu, dragged the two dead wolves back.
At the sa ti, they inford the mayor to notify the nearby villagers that hungry, desperate wild wolves had co over from Inner Mongolia, and to caution everyone visiting relatives to be safe.
When Gu Qiaoqiao got up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky.
Laughter and shouts of excitent from Gu Zishu ca from the yard.
After tidying up, Gu Qiaoqiao went to the living room stove and leaned on the windowsill to look outside.
The two wild wolves had been almost completely dealt with.
The wolf pelts were hanging on the wall of the storeroom.
As for the wolf at, Qin Yize was no longer concerned with it, and Butcher Zhao from the town dealt with it instead.
And he seed to be more interested in the wolf pelts.
“`
Gu Qiaoqiao quietly breathed a sigh of relief; the occasional strangeness in Qin Yize towards her had ceased to be a question she would ask why about.
The encounter with the wolf yesterday had also lightly passed by.
Gu Qiaoqiao thought of Qin Yize’s coat and quickly descended into the pit to her brother’s room.
The coat hung by the door, its lapels already torn and clearly not fit to be worn outside.
Did he have other clothes?
Gu Qiaoqiao really didn’t know.
Right at this mont, Qin Yize had entered the room.
Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao, he paused for a brief mont, then went to the closet, took out a large envelope from his travel bag, and handed it to Gu Qiaoqiao.
Gu Qiaoqiao took it with surprise and asked, “What is this?”
“The Jade Pendant from Great Grandfather, and my salary and bonus.”
Gu Qiaoqiao hurriedly pushed it back, “I’ve said I don’t want it.”
Qin Yize’s expression turned bland, his eyes and eyebrows slightly frosty, sweeping away the gentleness of the past few days. His voice wasn’t loud but carried an undeniable firmness, “Gu Qiaoqiao, I won’t ask why you’ve gone back on your word, nor will I question the various strange things about you. All I know now is that we are still legally husband and wife, so if you want to make things clear between us, wait until the day we divorce.”
Having said that, he no longer looked at Gu Qiaoqiao but proceeded to hang a clean coat and sweater on the clothes rack by the door.
Gu Qiaoqiao stood there without moving.
She held the envelope, feeling it burn her hand.
Qin Yize turned around, saw that Gu Qiaoqiao was still there, and raised an eyebrow, “What’s the matter, is there anything else?”
Gu Qiaoqiao turned and left.
But she also took the envelope with her.
Qin Yize watched Gu Qiaoqiao’s retreating figure vanish before retracting his gaze.
With hands in his pockets, he gazed distantly out at the sowhat gloomy sky outside the window.
Gu Qiaoqiao, she refreshed his understanding of her ti and ti again.
The wooden sticks, sharp as swords, each one hitting the wild wolf’s eyes, fast, accurate, ruthless!
That was a distance of several hundred ters, how did she do it?
And she never hid her actions, fearlessly lying, with the lies rolling effortlessly off her tongue.
Gu Qiaoqiao had too many secrets.
So many that…
Before he understood them clearly, he would not let her leave!
In his field of vision, Gu Qiaoqiao’s figure appeared; she was inspecting the wolf skins, looking from left to right, trying to discern a flower in them.
Qin Yize’s lips curved slightly, and he walked out at an unhurried pace.
He stood beside Gu Qiaoqiao and spoke languidly, “The wolf skin has been processed. In a month and a half, you send one of them to Grandma in the mail, and give another to your maternal grandmother…”
“To my Grandma?” Gu Qiaoqiao looked up at Qin Yize in surprise, “That’s not appropriate; give the other one to Great Grandfather…”
“Great Grandfather has one. I got it myself, but there was only one at the ti, so I could only give it to Great Grandfather. Now, finally, I’ve managed to secure one for Grandma; she won’t say anymore that I don’t care about her.”
Qin Yize’s tone was steady, even carrying a faintly imperceptible trace of mirth.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t decline any further.
The wolf skin would be great for Grandma to use.
“Grandma may say that, but she’s the one who cares about you most at heart,” Gu Qiaoqiao softly said.
“Hmm,” Qin Yize responded faintly, as if absentmindedly noting, “Grandma misses you too. Just now, when she called, I told her you were still sleeping, and she sounded quite disappointed.”
Gu Qiaoqiao was taken aback, unclear about Qin Yize’s intentions.
“Does Grandma need for sothing?”
“I’m not sure.”
“Should I give Grandma a call?”
“Go ahead…” Qin Yize said succinctly.
With an “Oh,” Gu Qiaoqiao obediently turned and walked towards the main house.
Qin Yize’s eyebrows twitched. Don’t think he couldn’t see that Gu Qiaoqiao, having left the Imperial Capital, was prepared to never again associate with the Qin family.
