Chapter 851: Chapter 25: East Sea Big Stage, Come If There’s Work for You Chapter 851: Chapter 25: East Sea Big Stage, Come If There’s Work for You “Yan Qiaoqiao?”
Lin Xian recalled the little girl who swiftly plucked her own white hair during dinner with Zhao Yingjun’s parents that day.
Somewhat surprised,
“Yan Qiaoqiao is with you now?
Wasn’t she always with your parents?”
Zhao Yingjun sighed with resignation,
“My parents also had urgent matters to attend to in Imperial Capital a while ago, so they left Qiaoqiao with me for a couple of days.
And now…
look, everything has come up at once.”
“Er Ye’s passing necessitates my return to Imperial Capital as well.
Now…
neither VV nor Qiaoqiao has someone to look after them.”
“With VV’s condition, being depressed recently, I really can’t trust anyone else to care for him…
the same goes for Qiaoqiao.

The only person I trust around me is you.
At least Qiaoqiao has met you and isn’t stranger.”
Lin Xian nodded.
Instantly agreed,
“No problem, just leave them with me.
You go back to Imperial Capital and handle your family matters.”
Not to mention one child and one dog.
Even if it were ten children and ten dogs, Lin Xian simply couldn’t say no today.

Zhao Yingjun always helps him so much; he surely couldn’t refuse to help with a little emergency right now, could he?
He had never really had the chance to repay Zhao Yingjun; instead, it was the other way around with Zhao being generous towards him.
Besides, Zhao Yingjun also said he would return from East Sea in two or three days, to pick up Yan Qiaoqiao and VV.
At worst, delaying his plan to sneak into Queenstown for two days was no big issue; after all, there were no leads at the moment, better to accept Zhao Yingjun’s rare request…
and take good care of Yan Qiaoqiao and VV first.
Lin Xian sat opposite at the coffee table, pouring himself a cup of tea as well, looking at Zhao Yingjun:
“So, when should I pick up Qiaoqiao?”
“Her stuff is quite a lot.
How about…
tonight, I bring her over to your place?”
Zhao Yingjun suggested:
“Whether it’s Qiaoqiao or VV, there are some essentials they need, which your house definitely doesn’t have.
I’ll pack two suitcases, and bring them over to your place tonight.
Does that work for you?”
Lin Xian nodded:
“Of course, that’s no problem.”
That made sense.
Yan Qiaoqiao was a little girl, certainly not someone who could just move in with just a bag; let alone the Pomeranian VV, you would need to bring its food bowl, dog food, and sleeping bed.
“Speaking of which…”
Zhao Yingjun smiled slightly, tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ear, softly saying:
“[Speaking of which, I’ve never been to your house, is that alright?]”
“Sure.”
Lin Xian stood upright:
“Why wouldn’t it be?
I rent that place, and it’s always just been me living there, three bedrooms and two living rooms, it’s very spacious, letting Qiaoqiao stay in the guest room is absolutely no problem.”
“I’ve been renting there since graduation…
I even contacted the landlord before, thinking that since we’ve developed a rapport, maybe he’d just sell it to me.”
“But the landlord said it was a school district house and that he would leave it for his grandson to attend elementary school…
it’s impressive how far parents plan ahead, his son has just started college, and he’s already considering his grandson’s school.”
After listening,
Zhao Yingjun also sighed deeply:
“Grandparents, and grandparents really are like that…
I can deeply relate.
By the way…
do you like kids?”
“I guess so.”
Lin Xian leaned back in his chair:
“I quite like well-behaved and sensible ones like Yan Qiaoqiao, she’s very cute, pretty, and obedient.
But these things are hard to say…
like Brother Wang always says, kids don’t listen when they grow up, when they are small is when the happiness index is high; but there are also many people who say that children are most troublesome when they are little, and it gets better when they grow up.”
“People probably just change their views with each life stage.
Who knows, maybe one day I’ll be driven mad by a baby’s crying.
But for now, I really like Qiaoqiao, the first time I saw her, I found her very appealing.”
Haha.
Zhao Yingjun chuckled, as if relieved:
“That’s good.”
“Then it’s settled.
I know your address, but I don’t know the building number, unit number, and floor.
Send me the specific house number later, and later tonight, I’ll bring Qiaoqiao and VV to your place, along with their things.”
…
Afterwards, Zhao Yingjun left.
She still had work at MX Company, thinking of handling it earlier and then going home to pack, to come to Lin Xian’s house earlier in the evening.
After seeing her off, Lin Xian reflected for a moment.
His own home…
There wasn’t anything shameful, right?
No.
Definitely not.
And it was also very clean and tidy, there wouldn’t be any embarrassing situations.
Thinking this, he felt reassured.
There was no need to worry about the guest room, no guests had ever come over, and it was kept spotlessly clean, Zhao Yingjun would certainly prepare well for Yan Qiaoqiao.
“There’s nothing to tidy then, just waiting for a girl and a dog.”
Lin Xian leaned back in his office chair.
Yawned.
Sleep schedules, once disrupted, are really hard to correct.
So he was still feeling somewhat dizzy.
Closed his eyes.
Began to think about the matters of Queenstown.
Although he still didn’t know who the queen of Queenstown was…
From any perspective, she didn’t seem to be a human native to Earth.
Her thoughts and plans were too advanced, completely out of step with the normal developmental pattern of that era on Earth.
Boy.
While places like Lian Village and Rhein Village were still engaged in traditional male farming and female weaving, Queenstown had already started building cavalry, refining iron, carrying guns, industrialized.
