I Just Won't Play By The Book-Novel

Chapter 176 Tears of Relief 1

On the street in Jiyuan Town, Qiu Qi was counting the things she wanted to buy today with her fingers.

“Pepper… fat… three leeks… That’s great! Today, I’m going to make fried chicken. I wonder if Uncle Nengwang will leave some in the kitchen.’

“Aiya!”

Just as Qiu Qi was thinking about the delicious fried chicken, the copper coin in her hand suddenly fell to the ground.

“Aiya, don’t run, don’t run!”

Of course, the copper coin wouldn’t listen to her. It continued to roll forward, and it rolled until a large hand suddenly grabbed it. Qiu Qi, who was chasing after the copper coin, blinked her eyes and slowly raised her gaze along with the large hand.

“Did you drop it?” Luo Wenzhou held the copper coin and looked at Qiu Qi.

Qiu Qi was about to say thank you when she saw an extremely handsome face appear in front of her.

“Thump! Thump!”

Qiu Qi, who could almost hear her own heartbeat, said stiffly, “I… Yes, I dropped it. Thank you.”

Luo Wenzhou looked at the copper coin and said, “Thank you.”

Qiu Qi felt a little strange. She looked at Luo Wenzhou and asked, “Young Master, why are you thanking this copper coin?” “Thank you for giving me the chance to talk to you.” Luo Wenzhou smiled and looked at Qiu

“Thump! Thump!”

This time, Qiu Qi was sure that she had indeed heard her own heartbeat. She even felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Qiu Qi, who had never heard such romantic words before, instantly turned red. She could not utter a complete sentence. She could only say, “You, you, you, me, me, me.”.

“I’m sorry, I was rude. I’ll give you back the copper coins.” Seeing Qiu Qi’s nervous look, Luo Wenzhou smiled and spoke.

She quickly grabbed the copper coins back and said with her head lowered, “It’s… It’s okay. Thank you.”

“I know it’s too sudden, but I wonder if miss… would you like to tour this market with me?”

Qiu Qi couldn’t help but burst into laughter when she heard this. “What’s so interesting about this market street?”

“This is my first time visiting this place, so I want to look around.”

Qiu Qi was instantly excited when she heard this. “So, it’s your first time coming to our Jiyuan Town? No wonder…” “No wonder what?” Luo Wenzhou asked when he saw that Qiu Qi wanted to say something but hesitated.

How could Qiu Qi say ‘no wonder I’ve never seen such a good-looking person’ out loud? She quickly waved her hand and said, “It’s nothing… nothing, then I’ll take you to tour the market.”

“Thank you, miss.”

At d Qiu Qi, who had already become somewhat familiar with Luo Wenzhou, was reluctant to go back. However, she could only come out for a limited time. If she went home late, she would be punished.

Thus, in front of a sculpture, Qiu Qi looked up at Luo Wenzhou and said, “Young master… I have to go back to the manor. Otherwise, the people in the manor will be worried.” Upon hearing this, Luo Wenzhou hurriedly slapped his forehead and said, “It’s all my fault. I almost delayed you. Then let’s go quickly. I’ll escort you back.”

Although Qiu Qi really wanted to reject Luo Wenzhou, in the end, she was reluctant to open her mouth. Lowering her head, she pointed to the west and said, “It’s… It’s right there.”

“Okay, then let’s go.”

Following Qiu Qi to a magnificent mansion, Luo Wenzhou sighed and said, “So this is the Ye Residence. It’s really magnificent.”

“Yes, our master has invited many experts to build it. Look at that flowerbed. Isn’t it especially beautiful?”

After hearing that, Luo Wenzhou shook his head. He looked at Qiu Qi and said, “I don’t think those flowers are as beautiful as you.’

“Aiya! Young Master, you are teasing me again. If you say it again… I will ignore you!” Although she said that, the smile on her face became brighter.

“Well, since you don’t want to hear it, I won’t say it again. If…”

“No… No! It’s not that I don’t want to hear it, it’s… It’s…”

“Then should I say it… or not?”

“I… I don’t know either! I should go back.” Qiu Qi stomped her feet, but she had no intention of leaving

Luo Wenzhou took advantage of the situation and said, “I wonder if I can see you again in the future?”

“Eh… if you still want to see me…” After saying that, Qiu Qi looked around and saw that there was no one around. She whispered a few words into Luo Wenzhou’s ear and then quickly ran away like a frightened rabbit.

On the second day, Jiang Beiran’s indifferent expression almost froze after listening to Luo Wenzhou’s report. “If he didn’t live in that Ye Residence for a few decades, it’s absolutely impossible for him to understand the Ye Residence, right?”

The report that Luo Wenzhou handed over was extremely detailed. From when the Ye family paid respects to their ancestors to what was the favorite peeing position of the youngest child of the Ye family, everything was clearly investigated.

However, Jiang Beiran also took a liking to Luo Wenzhou’s intelligence gathering ability, so he chose to let him inquire about it. Although he was a little surprised, he could still imagine that Luo Wenzhou could finish the job.

“Well done.” Jiang Beiran patted Luo Wenzhou’s shoulder and said, “Take a rest tonight. I’ll teach you some me new pill formulas.”

Luo Wenzhou’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He immediately cupped his hands towards Jiang Beiran and said, “Thank you.”

After eating a delicious dinner, Luo Wenzhou sat beside the cauldron Jiang Beiran had set up and listened to his teachings.

When Jiang Beiran described the temperature needed to refine the spirit purple pill, he looked at Luo Wenzhou and asked, “Do you still remember what I said to you when I first taught you how to refine the pill?
