Chapter 27: Yao Yao is a good girl

Qi Yao held her head and crouched on the ground, just like a helpless little girl.

"Sometimes, people fear a thing not because of the thing itself, but because of the people and events associated with it… How insightful!"

Lin Feng, who had read psychology-related books, sighed inwardly and suddenly felt he had the talent of a philosopher.

"Don't be afraid, look, I've beaten it to death."

Lin Feng picked up the cockroach with its entrails spilling out and shook it in front of Qi Yao.

Qi Yao glanced at it, then tilted her head and fell to the ground.

She fainted.

Just then…

A "bang" sounded from outside the house.

Immediately after, the studio door creaked open slowly, letting in a gust of cool wind.

"The House Guardian Artifact fainted—did the evil ghost come out?"

Lin Feng couldn't help but shiver.

If one were to say who in this world believes most firmly in the existence of ghosts, it would undoubtedly be Lin Feng.

Because he is a soul that transmigrated here.

"Hey! Wake up! Wake up quickly!"

Lin Feng, frightened, grabbed Qi Yao's arm and shook her.

Just then——

"Ding-dong ding-ding ding-dong……"

The sudden sound gave Lin Feng another big fright.

He raised his head toward the direction of the sound and discovered it was Qi Yao's phone ringing.

"Scared me to death."

Lin Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and immediately stepped forward to pick up the phone.

The caller ID showed "Mom".

Lin Feng hesitated a moment, then swiped with his finger and said, "Hey~"

"Yao Yao… why is it a man? Who are you?"

A middle-aged woman's voice came from the phone.

"Um… I'm Qi Yao's friend," Lin Feng replied.

"Boyfriend?"

"No, Auntie, you've misunderstood," Lin Feng hurriedly said.

Qi Yao's mother asked again, "Where's Yao Yao? Have her answer the phone."

"Um… Auntie, Qi Yao right now… right now it's inconvenient to answer the phone; she just fainted…"

To avoid misunderstanding, Lin Feng spoke quickly and explained what had just happened.

After speaking, Qi Yao's mother fell silent for a moment, then said, "Qi Yao's phone has a video call app; we'll video chat later, and her phone password is 794613."

After saying that, she hung up.

Less than a minute later, the phone rang again.

Lin Feng entered the lock-screen password 794613, opened the phone, and connected the video call.

On the screen appeared a woman wearing a white facial mask.

Although her true face couldn't be seen, from the facial outline she resembled Qi Yao somewhat.

"Eh~ what a handsome little guy!"

The woman exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Feng hastily turned the phone around the room, then tapped the still-sleeping Qi Yao.

Qi Yao's mother finally relaxed, smiling and said, "Young man, Yao Yao is asleep—what a great opportunity!"

"Ah, Auntie, what do you mean?"

Lin Feng was a bit puzzled.

Qi Yao's mother laughed and said, "Handsome guy, could you be the legendary straight-as-steel man? At this time, shouldn't you be helping the girl back to her bedroom to rest?"

After saying that, she blinked her eyes.

"That Auntie, I and Qi Yao are really just ordinary friends."

Lin Feng emphasized again.

Qi Yao's mother said, "What's your name, how old are you, what do you do for work, and what do your parents do…"

A bunch of questions poured out from Qi Yao's mother's mouth.

Lin Feng answered each one honestly.

Qi Yao's mother laughed and said, "Not bad, not bad! Your family has mines, you're good-looking, and from your gaze I can tell you're a responsible man. Entrusting Yao Yao to you, I as a mother can rest easy."

"That Auntie, I'm just Qi Yao's landlord, we…"

Before Lin Feng could finish, Qi Yao's mother laughed and said, "Yao Yao never interacts with boys; the fact that you could enter her room shows she has a fondness for you, young man—keep it up!"

"I have a girlfriend!"

Having no choice, Lin Feng could only utter those words.

He thought, "Now Qi Yao's mother surely won't bring this up again, right?.."

However, Qi Yao's mother said, "Does your girlfriend look as good as our Yao Yao?"

Lin Feng startled, thinking that there really aren't many women in the world who look better than Qi Yao.

"No, no…" Lin Feng murmured.

Saying there is, that's lying.

Is there anyone with a better figure than my Qi Yao?

No.

My Qi Yao has never dated a boyfriend, and her hand has never been touched by another boy.

……

My Qi Yao can make a delicious steak; can your girlfriend make steak?

No.

My Qi Yao is also very diligent, doing all the housework herself. Moreover, she lives frugally, never going to bars, never smoking, never playing cards...

Qi Yao's mother said a lot.

Finally stopping, Lin Feng curiously asked: "Auntie, why is Qi Yao afraid of cockroaches?"

Lin Feng previously thought Qi Yao had a miserable childhood, but seeing her mother so open and humorous, he supposed the family environment must be very harmonious and happy.

What exactly is the reason?

Qi Yao's mother frowned and said: "It's not anything else, it's that damn little brother-in-law of yours, oh, that is my son, Qi Yao's younger brother."

When they were young, they played hide-and-seek at their hometown; her brother locked her in a cabinet at the hometown, which had many cockroaches...

Qi Yao was locked in for a whole night, those cockroaches crawling on her body, ever since then she has been very afraid of cockroaches.

So that's how it is!" Lin Feng sighed.

Just then, a middle-aged man appeared in the video picture.

Qi Yao's mother quickly took her phone to show the middle-aged man: "Husband, quick look! Qi Yao brought a man home, it's this young man."

The middle-aged man was first startled, then with a look of delight he came over, waving at Lin Feng and saying: "Young man, hello, I am Qi Yao's father, haha! When will you come over to play, let us two have a drink..."

Qi Yao's father is very enthusiastic.

Lin Feng felt a bit overwhelmed, and quickly said: "Auntie, uncle, Qi Yao... Qi Yao is lying on the ground, I'll take her, I'll put her in the bedroom."

Go on, go on!

Qi Yao's mother hurriedly said.

Lin Feng put down his phone and lifted Qi Yao from the ground.

At this moment, the phone again transmitted Qi Yao's mother's voice: "Husband, how do you turn off this software you made?"

It seems to have frozen.

Husband, Qi Yao finally brought a man home, really, really great!

Yes, yes!

Finally a man has taken a liking to her; I thought she'd never get married in this lifetime! It's all that damn, husband, for a celebration, how about we beat that kid up?

Good idea!

You agree so readily to beat your own son; could it be you have an illegitimate child outside?

Wronged!

Hearing the couple's words, Lin Feng almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Unfortunately, the video call suddenly disconnected.

Lin Feng held Qi Yao and entered the bedroom, laying her flat on the bed.

Then he pulled over the blanket and covered her with it.

Lin Feng was about to turn and leave when Qi Yao suddenly opened her eyes.

Awake?

Lin Feng laughed and said.

Qi Yao made an "en" sound, got up from bed, and said: "I still have things to do."

Then she went back to the workroom and began to concentrate on piecing together the broken bones.

Lin Feng also became interested in these broken bones and helped from the side.

With super strong memory and visual ability, for Lin Feng this kind of piecing together was extremely simple.

After more than an hour, it was finally completed!

Lin Feng let out a breath, looking at the three piles of broken bones on the table, a strong sense of achievement welled up in his heart.

Qi Yao picked up the folder and began writing the report.

She wrote while saying: "With your help, it was finished at least three hours early, thank you!"

You're welcome!

Lin Feng said lightly and then curiously asked: "Where do these bones come from?"

They were dug out from a pit. The suspect said he killed two people, but there are actually three sets of bones, including a child's; with this report, it greatly helps the interrogation and conviction.

Shouldn't this kind of work be done at the bureau?" Lin Feng curiously asked.

He was also seeing for the first time a forensic doctor taking things home to do.

This also violates the regulations, right?

Qi Yao said lightly: "I don't like the bureau's environment, work efficiency is low. Moreover, I have privileges."

Privileges!?

Lin Feng nodded: "That's right! You are an authority and expert in this field!"

Recalling the earlier call with Qi Yao's parents, Lin Feng joked: "If you ever get married, bringing stuff home like this, your husband wouldn't agree, would he?"

Then I won't marry.

Qi Yao said very straightforwardly.

How can you not marry? Men and women together are yin-yang harmony, which is good not only for the mind but also for the body.

As soon as the words fell, Qi Yao lifted her head and glanced at Lin Feng, lightly saying: "I haven't studied it; I'm not interested for now. From a scientific standpoint, this is merely a behavior of biological reproduction of offspring..."

"Well then, I'm off! Goodbye!"

Lin Feng was about to leave, thinking it's no wonder Qi Yao's parents are anxious about her personal matters.

With her personality, her profession, and plus a certain aloofness, it'd be weird if she could find a boyfriend!

"Thank you!"

Qi Yao said another sentence.

"No need!" Lin Feng waved his hand and said: "I like to assemble things."

"What I mean is, the call you had with my parents, they were very happy."

After saying that, a rare hint of embarrassment appeared on Qi Yao's face.

Although she was in a drowsy state, she could still vaguely hear external sounds.
