Doomsday B&B

After watching Qi Yun return home, the Jiang family glanced at the box on the coffee table. While everyone was still looking at it, Jiang Xinrui returned.

"What are you looking at? Open it up." Before Jiang's mother could stop her, she opened the box and took out the items one by one. These were things that Qi Yun had asked Tuan Tuan to prepare for the meal.

Looking at the coffee table full of things—cigarettes, alcohol, candy, tea, fruit, drinks, even fabric and a small electric sewing machine—I noticed small notes indicating who each item was for.

After Jiang Xinrui took everything out, she distributed the items to her family members one by one according to the notes on the small piece of paper:

"Grandpa, Grandpa, these two cans of tea and two bottles of wine are yours. Dad, these cigarettes are yours. Mom, this batch of fabric is yours. Grandma and Grandma, these two batches are yours. And this sewing machine is yours too. Eldest brother, this bottle of wine is yours. Second brother, this case of drinks is yours. These candies are mine. The rest of the fruit is for everyone."

Seeing that Jiang Xinrui had already divided everything up, Grandma Jiang didn't know what to say, so she could only look at her old husband. Grandpa Jiang, seeing his wife staring at him, finally spoke up:

"Alright, this is a polite gesture, and it's for our Jiaojiao. Since Jiaojiao has already divided them up, let's accept them. We'll keep an eye on them. Jiaojiao has already taken leave, so she should spend time with you, her older sister, and not let these nice things go to waste. Alright, old woman, wash these fruits that don't keep well, and everyone can have some."

Grandma Jiang thought her husband's words made sense, so she picked up the strawberries and raspberries on the table to wash them. Grandma Han saw this and followed her. Brother Jiang also had the sense to return a shopping cart, put everything except the items to be distributed to individuals into it, and pushed it into their storage room.

After eating fruit, when everyone should have gone back to their rooms to wash up and rest, Jiang Xinrui suddenly said to her grandparents who were just about to go downstairs:

"Grandpa and Grandma, Grandma and Grandpa on my mother's side, I want to go and stay with Sister Yun, okay? She must be very lonely running this place all by herself, okay?"

Looking at the spoiled Jiang Xinrui, everyone in the Jiang family had only one thought: "Is this someone else's child?" But Grandpa Jiang still spoke up:

"Sure, but you have to get their permission first. Your brother has to take you there. If they don't agree, you can't act like a scoundrel. You have to come back with them, understand?"

"Oh dear, is that really the kind of person she is?" Before anyone could react, Jiang Xinrui rushed to her room to pack her things.

Within two minutes, Jiang Xinrui came out with a bag, tossed it to her older brother, and walked towards the door. After opening the door and finding no one had followed, she spoke:

"Come on, what are you staring at, big brother and second brother?" Then, ignoring the stunned family members, he continued walking outside without looking back.

"Eldest son, second son, hurry up and go." Jiang's mother said helplessly, then pulled her still dazed husband along.

After returning to her residence, Qi Yun first opened the system to check the details of the guesthouse for the day, and then took out a large wooden bathtub and placed it in the bathroom.

Qi Yunyun filled the tub with water, went in, and started taking a bath. Halfway through, she even took out some dried rose petals and put them into the tub.

After taking a bath and putting on comfortable loungewear, Qi Yun was drying her long hair with a towel when she heard the doorbell ring. Opening the door, she saw Jiang Xinrui and her two brothers standing outside. Qi Yun quickly invited them in. Actually, Jiang Xinrui wanted to just open the door and come in, but her brothers wouldn't let her, so she could only angrily ring the doorbell.

Seeing Qi Yun open the door, she skipped over to Qi Yun's side, naturally took the towel from Qi Yun's hand, and stood behind Qi Yun to dry her hair.

Jiang Nan shook his head helplessly and said:

"Excuse me, Miss Qiyun, I'm sorry to bother you. My little sister has been nagging me to come and see you. She said she was afraid you would be scared and wanted to come and keep you company. I've already packed everything. If you mind, I'll take her back with me."

Upon hearing her older brother's words, Jiang Xinrui glared at him and then went to stand in front of Qi Yun, blinking her big eyes and staring at him with such anticipation that it was almost palpable.

Seeing Jiang Xinrui's appearance, Qi Yun said to Jiang Nan:

"It's okay. With such a cute little sister to keep me company, I'm naturally willing to give her the things."

"Sister, I can do it myself. I'm so glad you're taking me in. Brother won't let me come, hmph."

Looking at the pretty and adorable girl beside her, Qi Yun said in a gentle voice that she herself didn't even realize:

"Alright, isn't your brother doing this for your own good? Come on, let's go inside." Qi Yun reached out and took Jiang Xinrui's personal belongings from Jiang Nan's hand, closed the door, and led Jiang Xinrui into the house, leaving the two grown men there looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Alright, let's go, bro." Jiang Yi said to Jiang Nan before heading home.

Qi Yun, who led Jiang Xinrui into the house, took her directly to the bedroom, put her things down, and said to her:

"Rui Rui, take your things and go take a shower. There are toiletries in the bathroom. Here's a bath sponge. Take a bath after you've finished rinsing."

Upon hearing what Qi Yun said, Jiang Xinrui's face suddenly turned red:

"Sister, I only brought snacks..."

"Haha, okay, I'll get it ready for you. How about wearing the same loungewear as me, pink is fine? And slippers, or do you prefer a different color?"

"I like anything that Sister Yunyun gives me, hehe!"

"Okay, wait for me a moment." With that, Qi Yun pointed a finger at Jiang Xinrui's head and started taking things out.

"Here you go, this is loungewear, slippers, bath towel, hand towel, and toiletries. You can just use mine for toiletries, they're all inside." He put a bunch of things into Jiang Xinrui's hands, all of which were pink.

After receiving the pile of things from Qi Yun, Jiang Xinrui went to the bathroom to take a shower and enjoyed a relaxing bath.

After she finished showering, Qi Yun handed her a glass of milk:

"Come on, drink it, then we'll go to sleep."

"Oh, thank you, Sister Yunyun." Jiang Xinrui happily took the milk and drank it all in one gulp.

Watching Jiang Xinrui drink with gusto, Qi Yun affectionately patted her head, took the cup, and casually put it into his spatial storage. Then, the two went to bed to prepare for sleep.

After getting into bed, the two started chatting. It was less of a conversation and more of Jiang Xinrui's one-sided nagging. Their last conversation before falling asleep went like this:

"Sister Yunyun, do you know why everyone in my family calls me Jiaojiao now?"

"why?"

“They used to call me Rui Rui and Jiao Jiao. When I grew up, I let them choose to be called Jiao Jiao or Rui Rui. But they all called me Jiao Jiao, saying that I am the family’s darling and that I must show it in every way. But I really hope that someone will call me Rui Rui.”

"Okay, I'll call you Rui Rui from now on, okay?"

"Okay, thank you, Sister Yunyun."

Jiang Xinrui fell asleep leaning against Qi Yun, and Qi Yun, listening to Jiang Xinrui's even breathing, also slowly fell asleep.
