Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

Chapter 198 Then Complain

The black bear who was busy in the kitchen had no idea what was happening in the living room.

After washing and drying the tea set, Hei Xia Zi searched the cupboard but couldn't find any tea leaves. A question mark slowly popped up in his mind.

He opened the window on the courtyard side and shouted:

"Old Tan! Where did you put the tea leaves? I looked all over and couldn't find it!?"

"Old Tan? Old Tan!"

Hei Xia Zi stood there and shouted at the top of his lungs three times. He walked out of the kitchen, turned a corner, and walked a few steps to the living room, but there was no sign of him responding.

"?" Hei Xia Zi didn't believe it and shouted again.

The result is still the same.

Helplessly, he could only go to the living room to call for help.

"What are you two doing? Do you want to drink tea?" Hei Xia Zi walked to the door of the living room, leaned against the door and looked at the two people who were doing their own things on the sofa.

"Drink it." Qin Yuchen took out his cell phone at some point and was now checking something intently.

When Zhang Qiling heard Hei Xia Zi's words, he raised his eyes but did not look at him.

Everything is normal.

But there is a hint of weirdness underneath the normality.

Hei Xia Zi had a very good intuition. He could tell what the two men had done almost at a glance through their calm faces.

But he didn't intend to expose the truth in front of the two of them. Wouldn't it be more effective if he asked them one by one separately?

As Hei Xia Zi thought of this and looked at Zhang Qiling who was sitting upright and motionless, an evil idea gradually came to his mind.

"So where is Huaerye's tea?" Hei Xiazi smiled ambiguously and repeated his previous question.

"Isn't it in the cupboard? The one on the right side of the cupboard. I remember it's on the second layer?" Qin Yuchen replied.

Hei Xiazi shook his head: "No."

"Okay." Qin Yuchen put away his phone, turned over and sat up, thinking about looking for it himself.

He dodged the black bear that was blocking the door and ran straight to the kitchen.

"What's the matter? Is there nothing?" After searching for a while, Qin Yuchen found nothing. He shook off the dust on his hands and heard what Hei Xiazi who followed him said.

"Forget it, just make some." Qin Yuchen gave up immediately and threw a bag of tea leaves to Hei Xia Zi, asking him to make do with it.

"So the reason you didn't reply to me just now was because you were doing something bad with the mute?" Hei Xiazi took the tea bag and turned on the gas to boil water.

He looked as if he understood and wanted to wink at someone, but then he touched his glasses and switched to manual mode.

"You called me?" Qin Yuchen was surprised and didn't take Hei Xia Zi's words seriously at all.

Black blind man: "Guess~"

Tan Yuchen: "..."

Qin Yuchen was speechless, but the expression on his face did not change at all because of the sudden words, he still looked indifferent.

He rolled his eyes at Hei Xia Zi as usual, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the towel next to the sink, washed it and prepared to clean the house.

"Soak quickly! After soaking, we'll be ready to cook and eat."

Hei Xiazi stared at Qin Yuchen for a while and decided to bother Zhang Qiling later:

"I know, I know……"

The people in the kitchen started to get busy. During the process, Zhang Qiling came in once, received his own work from Qin Yuchen, and obediently left the kitchen to take care of things outside.

The three of them had a clear division of labor and worked efficiently, so before long, the house became tidy and clean, and they were able to have an afternoon meal that was not considered lunch.

After dinner, they each sat on a small stool under the eaves, watching the dripping drizzle wash over everything.

No one spoke, just quietly enjoying the rare quietness.

----

Although they said they would rest for two days, Qin Yuchen actually drove Zhang Qiling to visit his family early the next morning.

When they arrived, Jie Yuchen had just finished breakfast.

When Jie Yuchen saw the visitor, he just smiled happily and was about to ask the waiter to go down and tell the kitchen to prepare two more breakfasts, when he heard the news that Qin Yuchen would not be coming back for the New Year.

"Don't bother me, my humble servant. I'm going far this time, so I won't be here for long and will leave soon." Qin Yuchen briefly explained the purpose of his visit and observed the changes in Jie Yuchen's expression.

"This time I mainly came to see you and talk... If it's the New Year, I probably won't be able to come back this year."

"Where are we going this time?" Jie Yuchen stopped smiling and asked with a frown.

"Medog." Qin Yuchen said quickly, with no intention of hiding anything.

Medog...

Jie Yuchen felt the gaze of Qin Yuchen beside him and didn't know what expression to use to look at that person.

In the past, his teacher had also been to Motuo and stayed there for a long time each time.

This time is probably the same, so I want to say it specifically.

Moreover, after entering Tibet, the signal is poor and the roads are difficult to travel. In autumn and winter, the weather will only be worse.

Jie Yuchen didn't know why they went to Motuo, and he had asked someone to check it out before.

But if Qin Yuchen didn’t tell them where he was going, they wouldn’t know the details and couldn’t find out even if they checked.

"Okay, are you going to drive there yourself or have you bought the ticket?" Jie Yuchen sighed, looked at Zhang Qiling as usual, and asked,

"Where's the equipment? There should be a lot of things needed. I'll order someone to go down and pack them up now."

"We still bought tickets. If something happens on the road, it's safer with more people than with just two people." Qin Yuchen took out some candy and put it in Jie Yuchen's hand, smiling, "The equipment is ready.

I plan to stop by the embroidery show and then go to the station."

"Okay." Jie Yuchen looked at the time and estimated in his mind that it should be enough time to make the trip.

He says:

"There's still plenty of time. I'll go too and see you off."

"Okay." Qin Yuchen nodded.

"By the way, Wuxie doesn't have your contact information, so he called me and asked about your situation."

Jie Yuchen followed the two into the car and said as he fastened his seat belt,

"It's not easy for him to leave now. Let me say sorry for not being able to visit you in time."

"It's okay, just let him relax." Qin Yuchen replied, turned on the wipers and started the car.

"You can also talk about Fatty. When he left, he asked us to contact him."

"Okay." Jie Yuchen agreed.

"Then you guys go this time..."

He didn't finish his words, but looked at the two people in front of him.

Qin Yuchen and Zhang Qiling looked at each other. Zhang Qiling leaned his head out from the passenger seat and shook his head at Jie Yuchen.

Jie Yuchen raised an eyebrow and understood what he meant.

Huojia

Huo Xiuxiu has changed a lot in the past few months. She has lost a lot of weight, and her eyes have lost their former liveliness. She has become more mature.

This is the first time we've met in a while.

With red eyes, Huo Xiuxiu didn't know what to say for a moment. She was a little overwhelmed and a little aggrieved, but more importantly, she felt uneasy because of the period of time.

"Why is your face so wrinkled?" Tan Yuchen was the first to break the silence. Huo Xiuxiu got the candy that she hadn't eaten for a long time, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears, breaking the armor that had slowly built up.

Her teacher was just like always, and a few words could easily bring out the grievances they had suppressed in their hearts. She heard Qin Yuchen say:

"It is not easy for me to manage the Huo family's affairs, so sometimes I can't control them, so I can use the name 'Qin Yuchen' reasonably.

If that doesn't work, you can write it down secretly and then complain."
