Chapter 46
The stable became quiet again.
Liu Haoyu’s eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness.
Qin Liu was leaning against his arm, her fair face showing a hint of a smile.
“Looking pretty happy?”
Feeling the body temperature from Qin Liu, Liu Haoyu also felt a bit disappointed.
“He originally wanted to find a better time to secretly bring Qin Liu out.”
“But unexpectedly, it caused such a big commotion.”
“This was really impulsive, but judging by the results, it’s acceptable.”
Looking at Qin Liu in his embrace, who had completely relaxed, she must have fallen asleep, right?
Thinking this, Liu Haoyu reached out and poked the serene and peaceful sleeping face.
His fingertips felt a soft touch, making Liu Haoyu truly feel Qin Liu’s existence.
“Is this the first time we’ve been so close?”
“I don’t know if Da Qin Liu will have memories of this period after I go back.”
“Hmm?”
However, to Liu Haoyu’s surprise, Qin Liu was not asleep. Realizing Liu Haoyu was poking her face, she couldn’t help but let out a sound with a hint of doubt.
“What’s wrong?”
Qin Liu turned her face, and after meeting Liu Haoyu’s eyes for a while, she shifted her gaze elsewhere.
“Is there something on my face?”
“A mosquito.”
Liu Haoyu lied with a straight face.
However, his thoughts could not be hidden from Qin Liu at all, especially at such close range.
“Are you fooling a child?”
Qin Liu ruthlessly exposed Liu Haoyu’s lie.
The latter did not feel embarrassed. He just moved his body, changed to a more comfortable position, and continued to speak.
“Go to sleep quickly.”
“How can I sleep in this situation…”
Qin Liu muttered.
After a moment of silence between the two, the little one spoke again.
“You weren’t planning to make such a big scene at first, were you?”
The little loli in his embrace was naturally referring to the chase in the woods earlier. Thinking about it carefully, that incident was indeed too reckless.
“Well… since I’ve been discovered, instead of continuing to hide, it’s better to go with the flow.”
“Liu Haoyu has always been a man of action. According to the Black Book, he’s a brute.”
“But I’m out now, what about after this?”
Qin Liu felt a little worried about the future.
“You know, Liu Haoyu only has less than a month left here.”
“Unless he completely anchors his time here.”
“According to that Black Book, as long as Liu Haoyu kills someone… he won’t go back, right?”
“This way, he can stay by my side forever.”
Qin Liu turned her back to Liu Haoyu, her eyes gradually becoming hollow, and a hint of danger appeared.
Liu Haoyu, who was originally feeling quite at ease holding the little loli, inexplicably felt a chill on his back.
He shivered.
“Cold?”
Qin Liu naturally felt Liu Haoyu shiver, and her eyes returned to normal.
“Should I call someone? To ask for a blanket or something.”
Girls of Qin Liu’s age were generally treated with some consideration and care.
However, Liu Haoyu was not cold, so he rejected Qin Liu’s kindness.
“It’s fine, I’m warm enough like this.”
“Ah…”
Qin Liu’s expression froze slightly, then her face blushed again.
She couldn’t help but mutter in her heart.
“I finally managed to ignore it… and you bring it up again.”
Liu Haoyu had no idea what she was thinking.
The man couldn’t help but yawn, feeling a bit sleepy.
“Let’s sleep early, we still need to think about what to do tomorrow.”
“Okay…”
——————
Time flew by, and it was morning.
Liu Haoyu opened his eyes.
“Tonight is Christmas Eve.”
The candle had never been lit, so he slept soundly.
Qin Liu was the same. The guy’s drool had even dripped onto his arm…
“How long are you going to sleep?”
It was already late morning. If they slept any longer, it would be noon.
“It’s incredible that you can sleep so soundly in this pile of hay.”
While Liu Haoyu was muttering, Qin Liu seemed to hear his voice.
She opened her hazy eyes, not quite understanding the situation for a moment.
“Is the pillow I’m resting on a bit small?”
“And the blanket is a bit short…”
“No?”
“What I’m covered with doesn’t seem to be a blanket, but a… jacket?”
“Um…”
“Um um um?!”
Qin Liu’s eyes widened suddenly. Like a startled little rabbit, she jumped out of Liu Haoyu’s embrace.
“Wait, wait, wait?!” The little one, who was so sleepy she couldn’t distinguish north from south, said in disbelief, “What is this…”
Seeing her words suddenly stop, Liu Haoyu helplessly stood up, wiped the sticky drool from his arm, and said.
“It seems I don’t need to explain much.”
“Ah…”
Qin Liu recalled what happened last night, and her face couldn’t help but redden.
But the little one adjusted quickly. She coughed twice and said.
“I’m hungry. Haven’t those people you mentioned arrived yet?”
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Speak of the devil, after a series of knocks, the stable door was pushed open by a militiaman.
Soon, an old man in his fifties walked into the stable.
He seemed to be the mayor of this town.
“Where are you from?”
Although he was old, his voice was very clear, and he spoke English.
“Singapore.”
Liu Haoyu answered his question without blushing or panting.
The mayor listened, took out a piece of paper, and compared it carefully before saying.
“I am very sorry for the lack of welcome, please forgive us.”
“It’s fine.”
Liu Haoyu knew very well that the file in the mayor’s hand was his.
“As for how I got here…”
“It must have been the omnipotent tool… the good brother Black Book, who else could it be?”
“Let these two guests leave.”
“Yes!”
Shunzi gave the mayor a slightly awkward military salute, then walked up to Liu Haoyu and gestured, indicating for him to follow.
“Thank you.”
Liu Haoyu bowed slightly to the mayor, and then the two followed Shunzi to the town.
After arriving in the town, Shunzi completed his task and left.
On the busy street, Qin Liu and Liu Haoyu stood still, looking somewhat out of place.
Finally, the little one couldn’t help but speak.
“Tsk… they locked us in the stable all night, and didn’t even offer any hospitality.”
Looking at the steamed bun shop not far away, Qin Liu’s stomach rumbled with hunger.
“There’s a steamed bun shop over there.”
“Oh, really… but do you have money? And aren’t you still pretending to be foreigners?”
“Everyone’s gone, so why pretend? As for money, there are always more solutions than problems.”
Liu Haoyu walked towards the steamed bun shop without saying a word.
“Wait for me!”
