I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

Thinking of this, Chen Qi'an felt troubled. Back then, he was able to do such a cruel thing just because of his sister, his niece.

Now, all I can think about is his daughter.

Upon thinking of this, Chen Qi'an inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine, and quickly shook his head.

Impossible! I'm Uncle Nie's nephew, his dearest nephew.

A nephew is like half a son.

In addition to the identity of a future son-in-law, a son-in-law is also equivalent to half a son.

All things considered, I am his biological son, yes, that makes sense.

Thinking about it this way, Chen Qi'an felt much more relaxed, but his expression hadn't changed yet; he still looked miserable.

Chen Qinghan found it amusing. "Alright, alright, seeing how pitiful you are, I'll transfer you another two hundred."

"real!?"

Chen Qi'an's expression changed instantly, turning into surprise. When he saw Da Bao quickly transfer the two hundred yuan over, he immediately became overjoyed.

"Sis, you're so good to me, I love you to death!"

With the money, he didn't have time to chatter anymore. He hurriedly left a message, stuffed his phone into his pocket, and scurried out the door.

Seeing that this guy had just looked miserable, he was now as happy as a fool after receiving 250 yuan.

Chen Qinghan shook her head slightly and uttered a sentiment that someone often expressed, "It really makes one worry about this child's future."

Sometimes she really felt disgusted with her stupid younger brother, and she didn't know what Qiuqiu saw in him.

It doesn't matter what he likes; what matters is that there's a smart person who can help keep him in check, so that this silly boy won't suffer later.

Chen Qinghan nestled on the sofa, stretched lazily, and opened her phone to think about which takeout to order later.

She inherited Chen Shuo's fine tradition of staying at home. Chen Shuo's life in his early years was exactly the same. He basically never went out and stayed at home, ordering takeout whenever he wanted to eat.

Chen Qinghan is the same. She hasn't left the house since the holiday started. She stays at home every day wearing pajamas and barefoot, and orders takeout whenever she wants to eat.

After putting down her phone, about half an hour later, she received a call from the delivery guy. She went over and pressed the button to open the elevator, and then she saw her godmother carrying her takeout upstairs.

Here, your takeout.

"Godmother, are you also working part-time as a food delivery driver?"

"Bullshit, I'm even lazier than you, how could I possibly do such tiring work?"

"Oh, godmother, have you eaten yet?"

"No, I just came over right at mealtimes to mooch your takeout."

Anya doesn't seem to have changed much, except for a few wrinkles that have appeared at the corners of her eyes, but you can't really tell unless you look closely.

A woman in her forties who looks like she's in her thirties, who hasn't married or had children, and who doesn't have the daily grind and mundane worries, does indeed appear much younger.

Sometimes, when she looks in the mirror at her face, which appears much younger than her peers, she thinks that not getting married was indeed the right choice.

But then I thought of my sister who was married and had two kids. She was so much younger than me, and I wondered if I could look younger if I got married.

Well, there are no "what ifs" in this world.

June weather always gives people a sense of unease, just like Chen Qi'an's mood at this moment.

I'd heard that girls are slow to leave the house, but I'd never seen her slow to leave before.

What are you doing?

He stood downstairs at Nie Xi's house, craning his neck to look up, but he didn't dare to go up. If he did, he would be subjected to a joint interrogation, a trial by three judges, or rather, a trial by two judges.

Uncle Nie's glasses always reflected a sharp light.

Chen Qi'an stood downstairs craning his neck to look up, unaware that the people upstairs were also looking at him.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, he finally saw the person he had been longing for. Chen Qi'an quickly went to greet her, "Qiuqiu, why were you so slow?"

"I talked with my dad for a while."

"Oh, let's go then." As he spoke, Chen Qi'an slowly reached out to take her hand.

Their relationship is limited to this: holding hands, but they've never even kissed.

But this was enough to make the silly boy extremely satisfied.

"Don't move, my parents are watching from upstairs."

Chen Qi'an's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly pulled his hand back, instinctively turning his head to look up. "You're so tall, Uncle and Auntie can't see me, right?"

Uncle Nie lives on the 26th floor; he's so high up that he definitely can't see his little tricks.

Yes, you can't see it.

“My dad might not be, but my mom… she could stand up there and count how many hairs you have.”

"exaggerate?"

No, it's a declarative sentence.

"How is this possible?"

"..."

Nie Qingqiu smiled without saying a word. For ordinary people, this was impossible, but for her own mother...

When she was in elementary school, she already had a vague sense that her mother might not be human.

It's very likely a demon, like the ones in Journey to the West.

Although she denied it every time he asked her, he had evidence.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously touched the top of her head.

When I was little, there were many times when I woke up and went to brush my teeth and wash my face, I looked in the mirror and found that I had a pair of furry ears on the top of my head. Now that I think about it, I don't know if it was a hallucination when I was still half asleep or if I was just dreaming.

Back then, I would be startled every time I saw myself in the mirror. At first, I even cried from fright. But without exception, every time this happened, my mother would come over, just reach out and touch the top of my head, and my ears would immediately disappear.

Then tell yourself that you're seeing things, see, it's gone.

At that time, I really thought I was seeing things.

But now... I always feel like my mom has hidden me away.

And besides this, there were of course some other discoveries.

Therefore, it is very possible that I am not human.

Nie Qingqiu hadn't decided whether to tell this guy the secret yet, but she could reveal a little bit first, so he wouldn't make a fuss about it later.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Xiao Bao, would you believe me if I said I'm not human?"

"Believe me, you're a fairy from heaven."

Nie Qingqiu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. She didn't know what was so good about this person, or what she saw in him.

And this guy usually seems a bit silly, but I always feel happy when I'm with him. The happiness I felt just now wasn't because of the fairy's praise, but rather...

There's no logic to this. Even if two people are just simply together and don't say anything, they can still feel happy.

Well, I'll tell him about the inhuman thing later.

Where are we going?

"Let's go buy milk tea first, and then have a nice meal. Da Bao had a change of heart today and gave me 250 yuan."

.......

The couple continued to peer down from the balcony. Su Yu wore a mocking expression, while Nie Xi held up binoculars, her brows furrowed.

His daughter was laughing happily in the telescope, which made him, as her father, heartbroken. This brat, who usually seemed so well-behaved, would giggle like an idiot if you praised him when he was little, and could blow several snot bubbles out of his nose. I never expected him to be so good at charming girls.

I misjudged it, I misjudged it....

And just now he even tried to hold his daughter's hand.

Chapter 362 Extra Four

A few days before his children went to university, Chen Shuo finally remembered his two children at home and took his wife back from a trip.

Chen Qi'an and Nie Qingqiu went to the same school, while Chen Qinghan did not, but both went to university in Beijing. Being in the same city, they could look out for each other.

What Chen Shuo was worried about was this girl, all alone at school, unlike that young couple who finally had a chance to be together.

"Dabao, what I worry about most is you. A young girl all alone in university, that's so..."

"Dad, I never thought about dating during college."

Before Chen Shuo could finish speaking, Chen Qinghan directly expressed her opinion.

"Ah."

With those words, Chen Shuo felt much relieved. All fathers are the same; the thought of their precious daughter being seduced by some scoundrel in the future makes their hearts bleed.

He had been keeping a close watch on things for so many years, which was quite effective. But back then, he could still use the tried-and-true excuse of puppy love, and he was right under his nose, keeping a close watch on things all the time.

But now that she's in college, I can't control her anymore. She's far away, and if she starts dating someone, I won't even know if she doesn't tell me.

The thought of his daughter being held hand-in-hand with some rascal, chatting and laughing as they strolled through the university campus made him, as her father, feel uneasy and had an urge to hit him.

However, that day will come eventually, but Chen Shuo has chosen to put it off for now, essentially burying his head in the sand like an ostrich.

With his daughter's words, Chen Shuo felt there was nothing more he needed to say. His daughter had always been a worry-free person. He turned to his son, beginning with the same sigh, before slowly speaking.

"Xiaobao, Dad is actually quite worried about you too. You're different from your sister; she doesn't need much attention. But you've always been carefree and absent-minded, and your studies have always been so-so. I don't know what stroke of luck you had this time to get into a 211 university..."

"I got in through my own hard work!" Chen Qi'an was unhappy. Everyone thought he got lucky, but no one saw how hard he worked behind the scenes.

"Is it for love?" Chen Qinghan pouted from the side. This girl gets all excited whenever Qiuqiu is mentioned.

"Okay, you got in through your own hard work. Anyway, once you get to university, you have to study hard and not focus all your attention on Qiuqiu. Be careful not to fail every subject and get expelled from the school."

Also, visit your sister more often when you have free time. After all, she's a girl, and you need to protect her, understand?

Chen Qi'an glanced at Da Bao, subtly pursing his lips. Da Bao looked harmless now, with a cute cartoon pattern printed on his T-shirt, but others didn't know that. As his younger brother, he knew all too well.

This girl has bullied me since I was a child.

The pattern on that short-sleeved shirt should be changed to Li Mochou, or at the very least, Dongfang Bubai; both would be quite suitable.
