Chapter 938: Three Diary Entries

Luoyan's first diary entry (supplemented)

【Some year, some month, some day, weather clear

(I didn't bring a notebook, so I only supplemented it after returning home.)

Today is the first time I and Xiuhua left my father-in-law, following beside Lin Feng to carry out a mission……】

Writing here, Luoyan feels that describing it as carrying out a mission is somewhat inappropriate.

Cross out the second half of the last sentence.

Change to: Somewhat forced, doing things that must be done.

Then continue writing: 【Today I and Xiuhua's mood is not good, feeling that this trip is forced.

After arriving at that manor today, we settled down.

He met with some people, taking more than ten minutes.

I and Xiuhua were somewhat scared, taking this opportunity to leave the manor and wander outside.

I didn't expect we would get lost. (Actually we deliberately got lost, not wanting to go back.)

The sky quickly turned dark.

I and Xiuhua stayed in the woods, planning to wait until dawn to return.

When we came out, we didn't have our phones on us.

Naturally this was also intentional; since we had escaped, we certainly didn't want to go back then.

At night, I and Xiuhua lit a bonfire.

Xiuhua went out once and caught a wild dog.

At night we ate roasted dog meat; the taste was not bad.

Finally, while packing up, we accidentally set the woods on fire.

I only know how to start fires, not put them out; Xiuhua is even worse, she's naturally afraid of fire.

After great effort, we still couldn't put out the fire.

When we finally tried to run, we discovered we were surrounded by fire.

At that time we were extremely sad.

Because we knew we had caused a major disaster.

Once the mountain fire spreads over a large area, it will alarm the entire Yanjing.

And now, the relationship has just eased.

The fire we caused is equivalent to giving him a big trouble.

We were extremely sad; it was the first time we went out alone, and yet this happened.

We are truly useless!

We might as well have been burned to death on the spot.

Really, that's exactly what we thought at the time.

I didn't expect him to arrive in time.

He called in the Jasmine, and quickly put out the mountain fire that had already burned over ten acres.

Returning home, I and Xiuhua thought he would blame us.

As it turned out, he not only didn't blame us, but also gently comforted us with a tender attitude.

He asked whether we had been frightened, whether we were injured, etc.

Since we can remember, no one has ever cared for us this much—not even Eunuch Shi.

I don't know why, my heart is pounding, and I also don't know if Xiuhua feels the same.

Hmm, very moving!

That's how today went, nothing else happened.】

Second entry

【Some year, some month, some day, weather clear.

Today's weather is very good.

Compared to yesterday, our mood has improved a lot.

What happened last night made me realize that he is actually not the frightening man we imagined.

We actually haven't had much contact with him.

Our limited contact has been watching how he handles my father-in-law.

My father-in-law is a formidable person, not only cunning but also ruthless.

Moreover, he is an old monster who has lived for over two thousand years.

Being able to make my father-in-law submit to him, of course, means he is even more cunning and ruthless.

I didn't expect him to be this good to us!

Xiuhua surely feels the same as I do; moved, she has developed a bit of other feelings, because I saw the look in her eyes when she looks at him.

At that time my heart felt sour and tangled.

But thinking about it, he doesn't just have Xiuhua; he has many women, with a whole wall covered in their pictures.

I shouldn't have such thoughts.

Moreover, this probably isn't love either!

As an old woman who has lived this long, I've seen all kinds of men.

Wanting me to fall for a man? Don't even think about it!

Hmm, that's exactly what I thought back then.

Today, he took us to see a giant panda named Mi Tuan'er.

In the panda breeding base, I only then realized that the dog Xiuhua roasted last night was actually stolen from the base.

After a day of getting along, our relationship with him became closer.

Afterwards we returned home; he sat in the courtyard, using his laptop to start a video conference and handle business.

Xiuhua and I didn't run around randomly.

Today just passed like that, with nothing else happening.

Chapter Three

【Some year, some month, some day, the weather was overcast

This morning, Xiuhua and I got up very early.

Xiuhua appeared to be a very introverted woman, but suddenly I noticed she had changed.

She actually dragged me this morning to make breakfast for him.

I lit the fire, Xiuhua cooked rice, and we roasted a few small dishes.

After being busy for over an hour, it was eight o'clock.

He had already eaten breakfast, and drank a large cup of milk from a cup bearing the character meaning 'shell'.

He also ate a large piece of bread.

Although he wasn't hungry, when we brought out the breakfast he was pleased and said he hadn't eaten breakfast.

Then he started eating.

He praised our dishes without cease.

After finishing the meal, he suddenly vomited blood.

It turned out that Xiuhua had put the poison she prepared into the dishes as seasoning.

Fortunately, he only spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, feeling a bit weak otherwise, with no danger to his life.

Xiuhua and I suggested going to the hospital, or calling Guo Yanqiu over, but he refused.

He also comforted us, saying we should be more careful in the future.

Besides, this matter must be known only by the three of us; we cannot tell anyone else.

Although he didn't say what the reason was, we know he was considering us.

Because if that woman surnamed Qi found out, we would surely be in trouble.

A punishment is unavoidable.

Even my father-in-law fears that woman surnamed Qi.

Today he was poisoned and is lying in bed resting.

But he still insists on working; it turns out he usually works quite hard.

The daytime of this day just passed like that.

But the events of this day are not over yet.

At night I suddenly woke up and discovered Xiuhua was missing.

I felt her blanket, and it was cold.

I suddenly realized where she had gone.

So I got up and slipped out under the cover of night.

The light was dim, fine rain drifted down from the sky, wetting the ground.

Just as I reached the courtyard, I heard movement coming from under the trees nearby.

Looking closely, I saw it was a large rat digging a hole.

This rat is really big, about twenty-five centimeters long.

Especially its head, which is even larger than a goose egg!

I never expected that such a tiny hole under the tree could accommodate a rat this large.

This fellow went in and out, his whole body soaked by the rain.

I watched for a while and finally couldn't help laughing.

It turned out the rat's hole had flooded, flushing the big rat out.

This fellow probably stole his large cup of milk and vomited it all over the place.

In the end I still didn't go look for Xiuhua; I just returned to my room.

While I was dazed, I felt someone return.

I guessed it must be Xiuhua!

But it wasn't her; it turned out to be him!

At that moment I was extremely nervous, and he then said he wanted to spar with me in martial arts.
