Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Qin Yize Returns

The thought struck Choo Lan that she couldn’t stay there any longer, and she hurriedly pushed open the door and headed out into the courtyard.

Even breathing seemed difficult in this room.

And this Gu Qiaoqiao was not a simple character by any means.

Despite her young age, she had deep schemes.

Standing at the doorway, Gu Qiaoqiao quietly watched the backs of the two as they left, thinking to herself that it was still a bit of a pity.

...

Actually, being involved a bit wouldn’t be too bad either.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the sky, estimating that no one else would come now, so she closed the main gate of the courtyard and carried the neatly chopped wood for burning from under the fence opposite into the house.

Then she started to light a fire to heat the kang.

The house had central heating, from a boiler room built by the base, which provided heat to everyone.

However, the small kang still needed to be heated by oneself.

When evening came, Qin Yize still had not returned.

Gu Qiaoqiao locked the door with relief, arranged her belongings on the desk, but she felt somewhat tired today.

After boiling a pot of water, Gu Qiaoqiao took a quick wash in the small restroom, changed into pajamas, and then began to dry her hair.

Having tidied up, it was already nine o’clock at night, Gu Qiaoqiao turned off the light and crawled into bed, soon falling into a drowsy sleep.

She didn’t know how long she had slept when a faint knocking seemed to reach her through the haze.

Who could it be?

So late at night?

Gu Qiaoqiao drowsily pondered but was too lazy to move.

Grumbling to herself, Gu Qiaoqiao turned over and continued to sleep.

Afterward, the knocking sounded a few more times, then there was silence.

Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered—it was Qin Yize who had come back.

He hadn’t come in because she had bolted the door from the inside.

Gu Qiaoqiao sat up groggily, paused with her eyes still closed as if finally awakening, then hurriedly went to open the door.

The moment she opened the door, Qin Yize had already turned, ready to leave.

When he heard the door open, he instinctively turned around.

The moonlight was extraordinarily clear tonight.

Dressed in a beige cotton pajama, Gu Qiaoqiao stood in the doorway.

As the door opened, the moonlight enveloped her at once.

Her black hair cascaded down her back, slightly tousled from sleep, adding to the haziness in her eyes.

Those clear eyes seemed to have a layer of mist over them.

She looked so innocent yet inexplicably tempting.

Qin Yize’s gaze darkened, his Adam’s apple moved, but he said nothing, remaining silent for a moment before stepping toward Gu Qiaoqiao, carrying a bag in his hand.

He then entered the house.

Closing the door behind him, the night’s cool air was also quietly shut out.

It seemed only at this moment did Gu Qiaoqiao fully awaken.

Looking at Qin Yize, who seemed frosty, she clasped her hands together, biting her lip, yet not knowing how to start the conversation.

Qin Yize’s unfazed gaze swept over Gu Qiaoqiao, he casually turned on the light, then placed the bag he was holding in front of her, “This is the kind of stone I was talking about.”

Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes instantly widened.

There was an indefinable surprise in them.

In just a few minutes, the girl had changed her expression three times.

Qin Yize raised an eyebrow but didn’t concern himself with Gu Qiaoqiao’s reaction and instead went to change into slippers.

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes held nothing else.

She squatted down quickly, eagerly opened the bag and looked inside impatiently.

A pile of rather ordinary-looking stones lay at the bottom of the bag.

Gu Qiaoqiao took out one.

It was about the size of her fist, quite heavy, and had a somewhat pitted surface. When she turned it over, she saw an exposed area that was the color of amber.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at it against the light.

She actually lacked knowledge in this area, and what little she knew came from her grandfather’s mouth.

Besides, she hadn’t really paid attention, so her understanding was quite limited.

A moment later, Gu Qiaoqiao stopped looking.

Whatever was inside, she couldn’t make out at all.

However, when she stopped looking, the sensations in her hand became especially clear.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s fingers moved again, and then she set it down, proceeding to pick up the remaining stones one by one.

Boundless joy surfaced in Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart.

This was her first encounter with what they called “Raw Stones,” but after touching them with her fingers, she clearly knew that there truly were gold nuggets and jade inside.

The quality of the amber-colored jade wasn’t very good, and it was quite dispersed, but it seemed to have some strange patterns.

And the green jade, if polished well, would definitely be beautiful.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know how they handled these Gold Jade Stones in her previous life.

However, she figured that if there was no fine jade, they would probably just extract the gold nuggets.

After all, gold was valuable.

And this wasn’t surprising, as rock gold is a type of gold ore, pretty much the same thing.

Extracting gold nuggets was very normal.

After mentally expressing her gratitude to the heavens, Gu Qiaoqiao carefully took all the stones out of the bag and placed them in a cardboard box.

At this time, Qin Yize came over, toweling off his hair with an easy grace.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked up at the sound, and Qin Yize was gazing down at her from above.

Gu Qiaoqiao stood up.

It might have been an illusion, but he seemed to have lost some weight.

Gu Qiaoqiao opened with sincere gratitude, “I really can’t thank you enough.”

Qin Yize curled his lips into a faint smile and casually asked, “Are these stones of any use?”

Gu Qiaoqiao smiled and nodded, her voice crisp, “They are incredibly useful; I can carve many things with them, and besides, I’ve never used this type of Jade Sculpture before.”

“Hmm,” he hummed softly, “as long as they’re useful.”

With that, he went into the living room.

Gu Qiaoqiao hurried to the kitchen, poured him a glass of water, and then, out of the blue, expressed her concern, “Have you had dinner tonight?”

It was already midnight, and coming back so late, he probably hadn’t eaten.

Qin Yize glanced at the time; it was too late for dinner indeed, but should he ask Gu Qiaoqiao to cook?

He intended to nod and say he had eaten, but when the words came to his lips, he simply stated, “Nevermind, let’s eat together in the morning.”

Gu Qiaoqiao heard this and realized he hadn’t eaten.

There was still some rice left, a few eggs in the cupboard. To fire up the stove and make fried rice would be quite quick.

She said, “Then I’ll make you some egg fried rice.”

Qin Yize glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao, about to light the stove, and he spoke slowly, “It’s too late, let’s eat together in the morning.”

As he spoke, he slowly drank the water from the cup, looked at Gu Qiaoqiao standing there, and gently said, “Go and rest.”

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t insist further, but she felt that this Qin Yize seemed a bit different from the one in her memories.

Gu Qiaoqiao returned to her room.

Qin Yize went to his own room as well.

The house once again fell into silence and darkness.

He lay on the small kang, turning his head to look at the whitewashed fireplace wall. On the other side of that wall, it was usually empty.

But tonight, it housed a little woman.
