Scientific Travel

The horse's galloping was very loud; Feifei could hear it from a great distance.

Feifei nudged Gao Ruizhe beside her. "Deng Yin is back, why don't you go out and greet him?"

Gao Ruizhe, unsuspecting, quickly got up, tugged at his clothes, and tried to smooth out the wrinkles.

"How do I look now? Handsome?"

Feifei straightened Gao Ruizhe's clothes. "Handsome, hurry up, or people will come in."

Gao Ruizhe grinned, showing his big teeth, and looked out of the courtyard.

Instead of seeing Deng Yin, they spotted Qiu Qingyu first, and their bared teeth immediately disappeared.

Qiu Qingyu looked at Gao Ruizhe, as if all the fatigue from the journey had been swept away, and looked at Gao Ruizhe defiantly.

Feifei looked out the window, intending to wait until Deng Yin and Gao Ruizhe finished their sweet reminiscing before going out, but unexpectedly saw Qiu Qingyu.

They couldn't afford to reminisce sweetly anymore; if they stayed any later, these two would definitely start fighting.

Feifei was in such a hurry that she even put her shoes on the wrong feet.

The courtyard entrance was too small for the carriage to fit through, so Qiu Qingyu pulled on the reins of the middle horse. "Whoa!"

The horse was very obedient; it stopped when told to.

Qiu Qingyu got off the carriage first, lifted the curtain, and helped Deng Yin down.

Gao Ruizhe could barely contain his displeasure. He asked Deng Yin, "Who is she?"

Deng Yin could tell that Gao Ruizhe was very hostile towards Qiu Qingyu.

"Qiu Qingyu will be in charge of washing my clothes from now on."

Gao Ruizhe blocked the doorway, showing no intention of letting her in.

"Miss, I can wash your clothes, there's no need to hire someone else."

Qiu Qingyu gave Gao Ruizhe a provocative look, raising her eyebrows slightly, which angered Gao Ruizhe so much that he was about to make a move on the spot.

Feifei gripped Gao Ruizhe's hand tightly, afraid he would run away.

Before Deng Yin could say anything, Qiu Qingyu grabbed Deng Yin's arm and said pitifully, "It's okay, sister. I didn't know you already had someone at home. If he doesn't like me staying here, then I'll leave."

As she finished speaking, a tear the size of a soybean slid down her right eye.

Despite years of dedicated study, Gao Ruizhe still couldn't bring himself to cry on cue.

Deng Yin wiped away Qiu Qingyu's tears, took her hand, and said, "You can stay here without worry. This is my home. As long as I say the word, no one can kick you out."

When Deng Yin said his last sentence, he glanced at Gao Ruizhe, and the meaning couldn't be clearer.

Gao Ruizhe knew that Qiu Qingyu was pretending to be pitiful, and he also knew that at this time, whoever was pitiful was in the right.

But he just couldn't help it!

Feifei knew that continuing like this would not do Gao Ruizhe any good, so she pinched Gao Ruizhe's hand hard.

Feifei tried to pull Gao Ruizhe away and clear the doorway; what was the point of blocking the way?

Those who knew him thought he was dissatisfied with Qiu Qingyu, but those who didn't might have thought he was dissatisfied with Deng Yin.

Following Fei Fei's momentum, Gao Ruizhe walked to the side.

Seeing that Gao Ruizhe had calmed down, Feifei sighed inwardly and took Deng Yin's other arm with both hands.

"Sister, my brother misses you so much. He barely ate anything for dinner yesterday because you weren't back. He's been waiting for you at the door since early this morning."

Feifei opened his eyes wide, making them appear even rounder, and he was incredibly cute. He gently shook Deng Yin's arm and said, "So, sister, can you please stop being angry with brother? He just thinks this person's background is unclear and is worried that sister might be in danger."

Deng Yin patted Feifei's head and smiled, "Sister isn't angry. Qiu Qingyu is very pitiful. She used to be a beggar, just like you. She said that you helped her when she was little and now she wants to repay me. So you must treat her well, understand?"

Feifei didn't expect Qiu Qingyu to be so good at making things up, even coming up with a plot about offering herself in marriage, and not afraid that the other party would expose her.

Feifei looked at Qiu Qingyu with a pained expression and said, "I didn't expect you to be so pitiful. No wonder you're dressed so dirty. I'll show you around the house later so it will be easier for you to work in the future."

Qiu Qingyu realized that he was declaring sovereignty.

Qiu Qingyu released Deng Yin's arm, stood in front of Feifei, and said with a touched expression, "Thank you, little brother. Don't worry, I will integrate into this big family soon and won't waste your time." After saying that, she patted Feifei's head.

Anyone can act.

Feifei hates it when people touch his head. Deng Yin is one thing, since he's a mission target, but this guy actually dared to touch his head!

Qiu Qingyu knew this, and she did it on purpose. As long as Feifei lost her temper, her image as the one being bullied would be established.

Unexpectedly, Feifei is also very patient; at least on the surface, she didn't show any unhappiness.

He's much better than his good-for-nothing brother in this respect.

Deng Yin watched intently; if it weren't inappropriate, she would have liked to watch it while eating sunflower seeds.

What's the difference between setting up a stage in your own home and watching a TV drama?

There's a difference; this one is interactive, and if the mood strikes, you can even go up and act out a couple of scenes yourself.

Whether it was yesterday or today, she didn't believe a single word Qiu Qingyu said.

They really think she's a fool, all approaching her under the guise of repaying a debt of gratitude. If they had used any other pretext, she might have believed them.

Besides, how can a beggar's face be as clean?

Besides, where did all these good-looking beggars come from?

With their faces like those three, even if they were beggars, they could have earned enough money over the years to open a shop.

Even if we take a step back and say that the three of them kneeled there, people would flock to them wanting to be their sugar daddies.

It's not impossible that the line could stretch all the way to the capital.

The scammers here have absolutely no intelligence.

As for why Qiu Qingyu was brought back...

why not?

Whether you have one sheep or two, you're still herding them.

Three sheep can also play mahjong together.

Judging from the current situation, Feifei and Qiu Qingyu's acting skills are both superb. Gao Ruizhe is like cannon fodder. If he weren't good-looking, he wouldn't even have a chance to show his face in this scene.

After a long and tiring journey, Deng Yin was feeling a bit exhausted.

"Gao Ruizhe, go cook. We have a new employee today, so make more food."

"How about I do it?" Qiu Qingyu spoke up before Gao Ruizhe could agree. "I just arrived today and I want you to try my cooking."

Oh right, and one more thing, shouldn't beggars eat wild vegetable soup every day? Gao Ruizhe can cook with any ingredient, from two copper coins a pound to two hundred silver coins a pound.

Although beggars can catch fish to eat, fish are not easy to catch. To learn thirty ways to cook fish, one must have eaten hundreds of fish.

Deng Yin just wanted to try something different, so she agreed to let Qiu Qingyu cook for her.

Gao Ruizhe was grinding his teeth to powder in a corner where no one was watching.
