Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Chen Lan’s Thoughtfulness_1
Under Ye You’s deep gaze, Qin Sisi lowered her head to avoid his eyes, her cheeks growing redder.
Ye You chuckled softly, slowly leaning in towards Qin Sisi. Lingering on her soft, rosy lips for a long ti before reluctantly letting go.
The pair, one human, one cat, snuggled together, finally sinking into a sweet slumber after exhaustion took its toll.
Close to noon, Qin Sisi awoke. She tidied up the room, and was just about to leave when the bedroom door was pushed open; surprisingly, it was Chen Lan returning.
Qin Sisi asked in surprise, "Why are you back? Aren’t you supposed to be at work?"
Chen Lan wiped the sweat from her forehead and replied, "I don’t have any classes this afternoon, so I took half a day off to handle the vanity."
Qin Sisi nodded and said, "That’s good, the sooner it’s dealt with, the sooner you’ll be at ease. Did you find a new place for it?"
Chen Lan replied, "Yes, I contacted a small company that recycles old furniture. I told them they could take it for free as long as they ca to collect it as soon as possible."
Qin Sisi slightly curled her lips, Chen Lan was truly frightened. That’s alright though, a small loss of money for future health and peace was definitely worth it.
Seeing Chen Lan looking a bit weary, Qin Sisi said with concern, "Take a seat and rest for a bit, you must be exhausted!"
"I’m fine." Chen Lan responded. She then pulled a folded piece of white paper from her bag, handed it to Qin Sisi, and said: "This is the detailed addresses of all the people in Zhou Zing’s class. Take a look."
Qin Sisi took it, asking in surprise, "Of everyone?"
Chen Lan nodded, calmly saying, "We only suspect Fang Yiyi and Lu Zhe, we can’t be sure it’s actually them. What if it’s not? So, I printed out everyone’s addresses. If there are other suspects in the future, we will be ready."
Qin Sisi unfolded the paper. It was indeed densely filled with the nas, addresses, and contact details of the students.
Chen Lan was very considerate. If the suspects weren’t Fang Yiyi and Lu Zhe, asking for the addresses again would indeed be troubleso.
Qin Sisi smiled in satisfaction, saying to Chen Lan, "Their class teacher is so generous to have given you everyone’s information."
Chen Lan’s expression stiffened a little before she said, blushing, "Actually... I actually printed it out secretly."
"Oh..." Qin Sisi looked at Chen Lan with a bit of surprise. Chen Lan didn’t seem like the kind of person who would be sneaky.
Chen Lan sighed, explaining, "I wanted to discuss it with their class teacher and ask for his help, but when I went to find him, he wasn’t there. The spreadsheet was open on his computer screen.
I was afraid he might not agree to
taking everyone’s information, so I secretly printed a copy and took it without telling him. He didn’t notice."
After Chen Lan finished, she stuck her tongue out a little, showing a mix of playfulness and helplessness.
So people seem like they would never do certain things. However, given the right circumstances and a little catalyst, they might end up doing those very things they initially thought impossible.
Qin Sisi held the paper with everyone’s addresses, saying to Chen Lan, "Thank you, Chen Lan."
Chen Lan smiled and said, "What are you thanking
for? This is what I should do."
Zhou Zing jumped off the building right in front of her. There was so guilt in Chen Lan. Helping Qin Sisi find the puppet master would also help her feel more at peace.
Looking at Chen Lan’s warm smile, Qin Sisi gratefully said, "You should sit down and rest awhile. I’m going to make so lunch."
Chen Lan stopped Qin Sisi, saying, "No need, you’re the guest here, how could I let you cook? I’ve already ordered takeout. It’ll be here soon."
Qin Sisi halted; Chen Lan was indeed thoughtful.
At this mont, Chen Lan’s phone rang. It was the old furniture recyclers who had arrived.
After Chen Lan gave them the address, two guys in their thirties ca up. They greeted her, then went with Chen Lan to her bedroom to move the vanity.
Looking at the now empty space in her bedroom, Chen Lan exhaled a long breath of relief and said, "Now I should be able to sleep peacefully!"
Qin Sisi and Chen Lan cleaned up the room together. Just as they finished, the takeout arrived.
Chen Lan had ordered two servings of eel rice. Qin Sisi had never had it before and found it quite good after a taste.
After a few bites, Qin Sisi suddenly rembered that Ye You hadn’t eaten anything. But as she looked at Chen Lan out of the corner of her eye, she felt embarrassed about giving a portion of the eel rice to Ye You, as if she didn’t like the food Chen Lan ordered.
Caught in a dilemma, she slowed down her eating speed. By the ti Chen Lan finished eating, Qin Sisi had only eaten about half.
Chen Lan asked curiously, "Why are you eating so slowly? Don’t you like it?"
It hadn’t crossed Chen Lan’s mind that the black cat needed to be treated like a human, so she had only ordered two servings of food.
Qin Sisi quickly shook her head and denied, "No, not at all. It’s delicious, I just naturally eat slowly."
"Oh." Chen Lan didn’t think much of it. She changed into a pair of more comfortable shoes and said to Qin Sisi, "You rest at ho now, Sisi. I’ll take a trip to the furniture market to see if I can find a suitable desk."
"Alright, be careful." Qin Sisi replied, watching as Chen Lan opened the door and left.
Then, Qin Sisi got up and placed the lunchbox filled with eel rice in front of Ye You, saying, "Here, you eat."
Ye You looked down at the half-eaten eel rice and asked, "Why aren’t you eating anymore? It looks quite good."
Qin Sisi hesitated for a mont before replying, "I’m full. You haven’t eaten properly these past few days, so you should eat."
Ye You’s eyes flickered. There wasn’t much rice in the bento box to start with and Qin Sisi only ate half. How could she be full?
"I don’t like this." Ye You pushed away the eel rice in front of him with his paw.
Caught off guard, Qin Sisi said anxiously, "You’re lying, you love fish."
"Aren’t you the one lying?" Ye You looked at Qin Sisi, his purple eyes seemingly fathomless.
"I..." Qin Sisi was at a loss for words, biting her lip in a sowhat wronged expression.
Ye You glanced at Qin Sisi, then walked into Lin Shan’s bedroom. After a while, he ca out with a piece of bread.
Ye You sat down next to Qin Sisi and said in a deep voice, "I’ll eat the bread, you finish the rest of the eel rice."
"Xiao Hei..."
"Behave."
Their eyes t. Ye You’s gaze was as gentle as water, carrying a hint of ambiguity and concern, and an unwavering determination that was impossible to refuse.
Qin Sisi lowered her head, quietly picked up the half-eaten eel rice and began eating, one bite at a ti.
