After the real daughter was reborn, the girl who traveled through the book was cannon fodder

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window into Qin Yunie's room. She woke up early, not even bothering to eat breakfast, and couldn't wait to start dressing herself up. She put on the white lace dress she had carefully chosen the night before, accessorizing it with a dazzling diamond necklace, pearl earrings, and bracelet, and even pinned a delicate little flower, making herself look as beautiful as a fairy.

Qin Yunie, carrying the thank-you gifts she had bought last night, got into the car in a very good mood and prepared to go to Qu Qingzhu's address. She happily looked at the residential address saved on her phone all the way. Even the slightly congested traffic could not affect her good mood at the moment.

In the security room, Qin Yunie waited for a long time before she was finally allowed to enter the apartment where Qu Qingzhu lived. She carried the thank-you gift and walked slowly, each step seeming so cautious.

Finally, Qin Yunie walked to the door she was looking for. Her heartbeat began to accelerate and her palms were sweating. She took a deep breath and was about to ring the doorbell. At this moment, the door in front of her, which had been closed, was instantly opened.

Qu Qingzhu in front of him was wearing a neat black casual suit that perfectly showed off his tall and slender figure. The cufflinks on his cuffs sparkled in the sunlight, and the white shirt inside was buttoned very rigorously and neatly, with each button fitting tightly together, showing his meticulous attitude.

Qin Yunie's gaze slowly moved upwards from his feet, her eyes resting on the collar of his white shirt. She could vaguely see his strong chest. The moment her eyes met his, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

Qin Yunie licked her lips nervously, her originally pink lips becoming even more moist and alluring because of this action. Blushing, she looked at the well-dressed man in front of her, a faint blush on her fair face. She introduced in a half-hoarse voice, "Hello, Qu Qingzhu, nice to meet you again. Thank you very much for your help yesterday. This is a thank you gift!"

After Qin Yunie finished speaking, she handed the thank-you gift forward. Her fair fingers tightly grasped the gift, trembling slightly, revealing her inner nervousness and anticipation.

It was as if time had been paused at this moment, and everything became still. In an instant, both of them fell into silence, and the surroundings were so quiet that even the air seemed to have frozen.

Qin Yunie felt her face burning hot, as if it were on fire. She raised her eyes slightly, wanting to secretly take a look at Qu Qingzhu's expression. When her eyes met Qu Qingzhu's, her heart trembled slightly, and her fingertips unconsciously felt a little unnatural and slightly bent.

Qu Qingzhu's eyes, as deep as the sea, were like the vast starry sky, as if they could look directly into her heart, making her unpredictable and unfathomable.

"No need." Qu Qingzhu's voice was low and magnetic. "It's just a small favor. I've already received your words of thanks. Nothing else is necessary." After saying that, he glanced at Qin Yunie's shy look, nodded slightly, and then turned and left.

Qin Yunie stared blankly at the slender figure walking as fast as the wind. The figure gradually walked away from her sight until it completely disappeared.

After a long moment, Qin Yunie finally came to her senses, as if waking from a dream. She reached out and gently patted her burning cheeks, trying to calm herself down. Then, she stamped her feet again, angrily looking at Qu Qingzhu, whose back had long disappeared, mumbling something under her breath.

She simply couldn't accept Qu Qingzhu's callous walk away. She was a renowned actress, the center of attention wherever she went. Yet, Qu Qingzhu was so cold and indifferent to her, completely ignoring her presence. She couldn't help but resent him: Isn't he being too generous to her?! After all, she was a major star, and so beautiful, yet he didn't even care about her. It was simply too much!

Qin Yunie stared at the closed door fiercely for a long time before placing the thank-you gift he had carefully prepared at the door of Qu Qingzhu's house.

Then, she took out a sticky note from her bag and quickly wrote a thank you message on it. After she finished writing, she put all her strength into sticking the note on Qu Qingzhu's door with a "snap".

After pasting it, Qin Yunie looked at it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, then put on his hat and turned to leave.

As soon as he arrived at the company, Qin Yunie ran into his agent and the public relations manager.

The agent looked at Qin Yunie's outfit and couldn't help but frowned. He asked in confusion, "Why are you dressed so fancy so early in the morning?"

Qin Yunie didn't say anything. She asked her agent to quickly check her recent schedule and cancel any unnecessary ones. She was going to take a break because she was going to pursue someone!

After a busy day, Qin Yunie sat quietly in the lounge. Her eyes were glued to the Qu Qingzhu search page on her phone, as if she couldn't get enough of it. She stared at the photos on the page, unable to hide the smile that overflowed from her heart. Suddenly, she remembered Qu Qingzhu's address, and after a moment's deliberation, she picked up her phone and called her brother, Qin Jiangli.

"What's wrong? It's so rare for the great actress Qin to call me! If someone is too nice to me for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!" Qin Jiangli said jokingly on the other end of the phone.

"Hehe, what's wrong? Is it not possible?" Qin Yunie also hummed without giving in.

"Okay, okay, what's wrong? Is there something you can't solve that you need my help with?"

"Brother, please help me rent the house across from Room 2002, Building A, Plum Garden."

Qin Jiangli chuckled on the other end of the phone. He had originally thought it was something tricky. "Sure, why did you suddenly think of moving to Plum Garden? But the environment of that community is really nice. Wouldn't you consider moving back home?"

Qin Yunie ignored what he said next and just said in surprise: "You agreed."

"Of course, but why not buy it?"

"Hehehe, I have my reasons for not telling you."

"Whatever you want, if there's nothing else I'll hang up."

"Okay, bye!"

"..."

The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end. Although Qin Jiangli was a little confused, he quickly completed what he had promised Qin Yunie.

Qin Yunie got the key on the third day after he met Qu Qingzhu for the second time.

Qin Yunie, who was waiting for the elevator, stared at the elevator number that was rising without blinking, and the floors kept increasing. Finally, when the number showed that it had reached this floor, the elevator stopped with a "ding".

The elevator door slowly opened. Qu Qingzhu raised his eyes slightly and saw Qin Yunie standing in the middle of the elevator. He paused for a moment, then turned and walked towards his home.

Before he could unlock the door, Qin Yunie's sweet voice came from behind him: "Qu Qingzhu."

Qu Qingzhu's hand paused slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at Qin Yunie.

Qin Yunie was stared at like this, and it felt like her hands couldn't move, and even her voice stuttered: "I'm the neighbor who moved in today."

Qin Yunie clearly felt that when she finished speaking, Qu Qingzhu frowned slightly, looked at her with a somewhat indifferent gaze, and asked in a flat tone: "Neighbor?"

Qin Yunie nodded quickly: "Yes, I just moved in today, do you want to come in and sit down?"

Qu Qingzhu refused succinctly, "No need."

Qin Yunie pursed her lips, a hint of disappointment flashed across her bright eyes, but she did not give up. Instead, she continued to brighten her eyes, mustered up the courage to ask again, "Can I find you for something?"

At this moment, a "ding" sound rang out, and Qu Qingzhu's slender fingers expertly unlocked the password to his own door. He nodded slightly, and a deep and magnetic voice came out: "Okay."

"Should we add a contact method? Like WeChat..."

"Need not."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Qin Yunie could react, there was a "bang" and the door slammed shut in front of Qin Yunie.

On this day, Qin Yunie hurriedly tidied up her messy house, then carefully held the food she had carefully made and walked towards the other side with a nervous look on her face.

When she reached the door, she stamped her feet a little nervously and stood there waiting patiently.

After a long while, the door was finally opened slowly and leisurely.

Qu Qingzhu appeared at the door. He looked at Qin Yunie quietly, coughed lightly, and asked in a low and magnetic voice, "Miss Qin, what's the matter?"

Qin Yunie's nervous expression instantly turned into a bright smile. She held the food tightly in both hands and said expectantly, "You haven't had dinner yet, right? I just made some cookies, they taste pretty good, I'll bring some over for you."

Qu Qingzhu glanced at the food on the plate expressionlessly and said in a flat tone, "I don't eat cookies."

Qin Yunie was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassed expression on his face, not knowing what to say.

Qin Yunie pondered for a moment, gritted her teeth, and couldn't help but wonder where she got such courage from. She ignored Qu Qingzhu's reaction and directly shoved the plate into his hands. Then she turned around and ran back home as fast as an arrow.

Qu Qingzhu looked at the plate of ugly, even a little excessive-looking biscuits in his hand, was silent for a second, and then turned around and went back to the house.

At this moment, Qin Yunie was lying on the door, quietly observing the situation outside, thinking to herself that no matter what, she had at least taken the first step. She looked at her hands, recalling that she seemed to have touched Qu Qingzhu's hand just now. Her fingers were still slightly warm from touching his skin, and that feeling made her heart beat faster.

The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to turn pale, Qin Yunie couldn't wait to get up. She carefully put on some light makeup to make herself look more energetic. After breakfast, she kept lingering at the door, observing the situation across from her from time to time, feeling both excited and a little nervous.

After a while, there was some movement from the other side. Qin Yunie quickly opened the door and happened to see Qu Qingzhu coming out with a work bag. She raised her paw excitedly, a bright smile on her face, and said enthusiastically, "Hi, good morning!"

Qu Qingzhu paused, followed Qin Yunie's gaze, and with that cold expression still on his face, he simply replied, "Good morning."

Qin Yunie didn't care about his cold attitude at all, and then asked: "You're going out to work at the bar so early in the morning? Aren't you the person in charge? Do you need to get up early to go to work?"

"Yeah." Qu Qingzhu replied simply and prepared to turn around and leave.

"Hey, wait for me, Qu Qingzhu, I want to go to the bar too. Let's go together." Qin Yunie said as he chased after Qu Qingzhu and got on the elevator together.

After coming out of the elevator, Qu Qingzhu strode quickly towards his parking space, and Qin Yunie followed him without any hesitation.

His footsteps suddenly paused, and Qin Yunie also stopped abruptly.

With a "beep" sound, Qu Qingzhu opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. He looked around and prepared to start the car engine.

At that moment, someone who looked incredibly familiar yet also a bit strange knocked gently on the car window. Qu Qingzhu lowered the window, looked at the red-faced person with deep eyes, and asked, "What's going on?" His tone revealed a subtle hint of impatience.

Qin Yunie paused for a moment, then regained her smug smile and said, "Can I get a ride?"

Qu Qingzhu looked at her, pointed at a big red car opposite, and said, "If I remember correctly, that's your car."

Qin Yunie was not at all choked by his words. Instead, she showed a surprised smile and said, "Yes! So you are interested in me too, and even know about my car. But I can't find my car keys, and I have an appointment. Anyway, we are going to the bar. Can't you give me a ride?"

Qu Qingzhu looked at her for a long time but did not answer.

"What's more, we are neighbors now, so we should help each other. You said yesterday that I could come to you if I had any problems. You weren't just saying that, were you?" Qin Yunie continued.

Qu Qingzhu looked at her for a long time before saying, "Get in the car." There was a hint of compromise in his tone, but also a sense of helplessness that he couldn't refuse.

Qin Yunie quickly opened the passenger door and got into the car smoothly. The whole process was done in one go, which made Qu Qingzhu's scalp tingle. He couldn't help but think: How could he be threatened by a girl he just met?
