446 As long as you're doing well
After all, Chu Yuntian was not an ordinary person, and the mind of a cultivator was naturally much more resolute. Therefore, at this time, his emotions were still very normal, but he was a little excited when he heard Chu Qiao's voice.
"Grandpa, you have suffered, it is all Qiaoqiao's bad...... Came back late. Chu Qiao sniffed and said, in front of her relatives, she was still the little girl who didn't grow up.
"Who said my Jojo was bad?" There was more pride in Chu Yuntian's tone, "In Grandpa's heart, I have always believed that my Qiaoqiao will come back, and it will be very strong, very powerful!" As he spoke, a smile appeared on the corner of Chu Yuntian's mouth.
Chu Qiao was a little speechless, and looked at Chu Yuntian carefully, but he hadn't seen him for more than a year, and Chu Yuntian was so old that she almost couldn't recognize it. The forehead, which was originally full of red light, was full of wrinkles, the eye sockets were also deeply sunken, the silver threads showed a dull dry white, and the skin was also covered with age spots.
He was like an ordinary old man of old age.
Even if Chu Cen didn't use any torture on Chu Yuntian, locking him in the dark basement for so long was the greatest torture. Therefore, when the two families of Yun and Chu saw Chu Yuntian's situation, their hearts were full of guilt, they had no ability to argue with Chu Cen at all, let alone rescue Chu Yuntian, they could only watch Old Man Chu suffer, and the most uncomfortable of them was naturally Qiao Qiao's parents.
Chu Qiao suddenly wiped away his tears, the fragility just now disappeared in an instant, and a glint flashed in his deep eyes, "Mom and Dad, don't feel bad, grandpa can come back safely, it is already the greatest luck for us, and grandpa doesn't want to see you crying." After saying this, Chu Qiao's tone paused, "You have to believe me, I can make Grandpa recover his health quickly, and in the future, no one will be able to bully the people of the Chu family's Yun family anymore!" β
Hearing Chu Qiao's words, everyone subconsciously looked towards Chu Qiao, there was an invisible momentum in her, the kind of confidence that came out of her bones, and there was no way for people to doubt half a point.
A thought flashed through everyone's hearts - Jojo had grown up.
Yes, that little girl who used to be, has grown up. In the blink of an eye, she was already full-fledged and was able to stand confidently in front of her relatives and tell them that I can protect you!
She is no longer the weak and reckless little girl she was at the beginning, she can be regarded as the most outstanding genius psychic of the Chu clan!
Yun Mo, Mo Zixi and Jiu Cake looked at Chu Qiao silently on the side, this is the true light that belongs to Qiao Qiao, right?
After saying this, Chu Qiao obediently lay beside Chu Yuntian's bedside and whispered, "Grandpa, you have to get better quickly, Qiao Qiao still wants to hear your story, by the way, I haven't received my graduation certificate yet, it's really sad...... You have to go back to school, don't you? I'm afraid I'm the most unqualified student at Yan University......"
Seeing Chu Qiao's sad face in the blink of an eye, everyone laughed heartily, no matter how powerful she became, she was still their Qiao Qiao after all.
Half a month has passed, and the old man Chu has recovered his spirits, and he is playing Tai Chi in the garden of the Chu family's villa, and the life of the two families of Yun and Chu has returned to tranquility, as if what happened before has never happened.
Chu Qiao was also urged by Old Man Chu to go back to school, in the hearts of parents, no matter how strong Chu Qiao is now, obedient study is a good child.
Chu Qiao, who returned to the campus, stood on her favorite boulevard, took a deep breath, and roared in a low voice-"I, Chu Qiao, are back again!" β
Yun Mo next to him couldn't help but hold his forehead, why is this line so familiar?
"Sister Pingping and Su Wen are about to graduate in a few months, right? Did grandpa contact me yesterday? Can I take the final exam directly? Chu Qiao was excited, turned his head and asked Yun Mo, "Won't you let me study for another year, right?" Heck, I don't want to be an old fritter. β
"It's still an old fritter!" Yun Mo glared at Chu Qiao angrily, "Tell me yourself, how many days have you been in school?" How many days did you read the book seriously? β
"You're no better." Chu Qiao rolled his eyes.
"I'm a genius in the archaeology department, so I've been in graduate school for a long time, right? I don't need to stay in the school every day, hehe......" Yun Mo smiled proudly, "Aren't I archaeology outside?" β
Chu Qiao gritted his teeth and said, "I won't tell you!" β
At that moment, a cry of joy cameβ"Jojo! β
The voice was very familiar, Chu Qiao subconsciously looked back, a tall boy was standing not far away, looking excited, seeing Chu Qiao turn around, he quickly ran over to this side.
"Yin Hao!" When Chu Qiao saw the boy, he also shouted happily, "You're back?" β
I haven't seen him for more than a year, Yin Hao has long since lost his original thin appearance, maybe it is because of the good food abroad, he is a head taller than Chu Qiao, and his body is a lot stronger, and what is even more rare is that the little boy has become a big boy, and his facial features have grown, and he looks more handsome.
It is said that women have changed eighteen times, and so do men! Yin Hao's original inconspicuous little appearance, now he is in a pocket on campus, and he is also a beautiful boy with a 100% return rate!
Yin Hao ran to Chu Qiao, a little at a loss, he didn't know what to do, did he hug one? Or maybe it's a handshake? Or is it...... It seems that Qiao Qiao doesn't like these etiquettes very much, but he is eager to express the joy of reunion, rubbing his hands, his face flushed.
Of course, classmate Yin Hao didn't notice that classmate Yun Mo on the side had turned into a face of Bao Gong, and Xiao Haohao, who had always been simple, maybe he hadn't noticed Momo next to Chu Qiao yet!
Facing Yin Hao, Yun Mo always had an urge to vomit blood, although the latter was not an opponent of the same rank as him at all, but this guy ignored his skills and had already practiced to perfection, he was simply a stunned young man.
Chu Qiao naturally saw Yin Hao's embarrassment, took the initiative to stretch out his hand and stand on tiptoe, and patted Yin Hao's shoulder affectionately as before, "Wow! What did you eat? Didn't grow so tall in a year? β
Yin Hao saw that Chu Qiao was still as easy-going as before, he was still very nervous, but he also relaxed, and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth, "I didn't eat anything good, I just ate bread and milk every day, by the way, I like to eat steak, could it be that I ate too much steak and grew taller all of a sudden?" β
"......" Chu Qiao and Yun Mo fell off a black line at the same time, classmate Yin Hao, do you know what greeting is?
"Jojo, you're prettier too!" Yin Hao's eyes lit up, and he said seriously, "I've gained some weight......
Chu Qiao burst into tears in his heart, classmate Yin Hao, can you have a good chat?
Yun Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud on the side.
Yin Hao only then realized that Yun Mo's existence was discovered, and he was also happy to come forward to hug or shake hands with Yun Mo, "Senior Yun Mo, it turns out that you are also here!" β
Yun Mo scolded in his heart, "Brother has been all the time, okay?" Brother is such a big living person, you can't see it? β
"Yin Hao, when did you come back? Didn't you go on an exchange student? Yun Mo reluctantly pulled up a kind smile, and patted Yin Hao's shoulder like Chu Qiao, he really looked like a big brother.
"I've been back for two months, but there has been no news from you, and the phone can't get through, I also went to Qiaoqiao's house to find Qiaoqiao, but I don't know what's going on, whether I'm walking or driving, I'm always lost, and I can't find Qiaoqiao's house......" Yin Hao said with a strange face, "It stands to reason that there is only one way up the mountain...... Why can't I find it? β
Chu Qiao and Yun Mo glanced at each other, it seemed that Chu Cen should have arranged an enchantment around the Chu family's villa, blocking the Chu family's contact with the outside world, so Yin Hao couldn't find the Chu family's location no matter what.
"You've eaten too much steak and your head has been eaten." Yun Mo said unceremoniously, "The designation is that I have misremembered the route, but in the past year, we have been running around the country, even if you find Qiaoqiao's house, you won't be able to see us!" β
When Yun Mo spoke, he kept using "we", Chu Qiao was used to it, and he didn't feel anything, but the light in Yin Hao's eyes dimmed a little, and in the end, he even smiled reluctantly.
"It turns out that Qiao Qiao has been archaeology outside with Senior Yun Mo...... Yin Hao scratched his head, "It's really a long experience, I knew that I wouldn't be an exchange student, how good it would be to go to archaeology with you." β
"That's dangerous, have you forgotten the last time we were almost trapped in the tomb and couldn't get out?" Yun Mo lowered his voice and said, "So, a person like you who is not very smart is not suitable for archaeology!" β
"Momo-san, how are you talking?" Chu Qiao lightly kicked Yun Mo in the back, "Okay, Yin Hao, we haven't seen each other for so long, we should have a good meal!" By the way, call Sister Pingping and Su Wen too, haha...... If they knew I was back, they would be happy to death! β
As soon as she encounters something happy, Miss Chu Qiao reflexively thinks of eating, Yin Hao saw Chu Qiao's eyebrows and eyes crooked, and she almost drooled, and she was happy again, "Okay!" All right! I'm in for a treat! β
"Of course you're in for a treat!" Chu Qiao smiled, "You're a local tyrant!" β
Yin Hao and Yun Mo were instructed by Chu Qiao to book a restaurant, and they wanted to have a big meal! Chu Qiao went back to catch up with his girlfriend, and when Chu Qiao pushed open the familiar apartment door, the two people inside were stunned.
"Sister Pingping, Su Wen, I'm back." Chu Qiao saw two friends who hadn't seen him for a long time, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said a very common sentence, as if he had just gone out for a walk and came back, instead of being separated for more than a year.
Su Wen was stunned for a moment, and tears quickly filled up in his big eyes, but Meng Pingping stared at Chu Qiao, with a hint of crying in her voice, "You dead girl, do you still know how to come back?!" β
Chu Qiao made a hugging gesture and rushed towards Meng Pingping and Su Wen, "Sisters, I miss you to death!" β
"Qiaoqiao......" Su Wen pounced and hugged Chu Qiao, "Why have you been away for so long, and there is no news at all?" Do you know how worried we are? and Senior Mei......"
When Su Wen mentioned Mei Chen, Meng Pingping's expression changed, she bit her pale lip, lowered her head, but tears fell out of her eyes at this time.
"Senior Mei...... Is he missing too? Chu Qiao naturally knew that Mei Chen should have returned to the Dragon Domain, and if he stayed here any longer, he would probably have been "eaten" by Chu Cen.
"yes!" Su Wen glanced back at Meng Pingping, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "Not long after you disappeared, Senior Mei Chen also disappeared, and Sister Pingping couldn't contact him." β
"Sister Pingping, don't worry......" Before Chu Qiao finished speaking, Meng Pingping raised her head and looked at Chu Qiao and said, "Qiaoqiao, do you know where he went?" Right? β
Chu Qiao nodded, "Well, he should be fine, but for some reason, he can't come back, if he comes back, it will be dangerous......"
When Meng Pingping heard that Mei Chen was fine, her expression was relieved, and Chu Qiao walked into Meng Pingping only to find that she hadn't seen her for more than a year, Meng Pingping actually looked very haggard, and the whole person had lost a lot of weight.
Seeing Meng Pingping like this, Chu Qiao said with some distress, "Sister Pingping, don't blame Senior Mei, he didn't mean it...... You should know who he is...... Unlike us, his feelings for you are real. You also have to take good care of yourself, don't wait until Senior Mei comes back, but you don't become pretty, how should I explain to him then? β
Meng Pingping wiped her eyes and said with a wry smile, "Will I ever have the chance to see him again in my life?" β
"Why not?" Chu Qiao hurriedly said, "Although I don't have much contact with him, I think he is a person who values love and righteousness, and he will never leave you alone, the trouble here has been solved, I don't think it will be long before he will come back, and I will definitely ask him to make amends to you when the time comes!" β
"Really?" A hint of hope appeared in Meng Pingping's eyes, and she looked up at Chu Qiao, "Mei Chen, will he really come back?" β
"Don't you have faith in yourself?" Chu Qiao saw Meng Pingping, who had always been arrogant and protected herself and Su Wen like a big sister, but she showed such a fragile side, and she was also a little resentful towards Mei Chen, "If he dares to live up to you, I will be the first to spare him!" I'm going to beat him all over the ground like a pig's head!" β
Meng Pingping looked at Chu Qiao's gritted teeth, and couldn't help laughing, she knew that Chu Qiao was deliberately making her laugh, "Qiaoqiao, as long as he can come back......" Meng Pingping was slightly shy, "I don't blame him, no matter what his identity is, I can accept it." β
"Hmm." Chu Qiao nodded, "His identity, it's up to him to tell you in the future." β
The three of them talked for a while, and Chu Qiao said that Yin Hao was going to have a treat and a big meal, and the simple Su Wen immediately became happy, pulling Meng Pingping to change her clothes, and when the three of them packed up and appeared at the door of the private restaurant they had ordered, Yun Mo and Yin Hao were already full of helplessness.
"You three can really toss!" Yun Mo looked at his watch, "We've been waiting for three hours!" β
Meng Pingping glared at Yun Mo dissatisfied, "What's wrong?" Don't want to wait for our sisters? Alright, Jojo, let's go eat somewhere else! This hasn't married my family Jojo into the door yet, so I'm impatient! β
As soon as Yun Mo heard what else he dared to say, he hurriedly laughed and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I have to wait until tomorrow!" β
Everyone laughed again, they hadn't had a happy meal together for a long time, and the dishes in this private restaurant were also to their tastes.
"It turns out that grandpa is sick, then I'll go see grandpa tomorrow." Yin Hao was also considered a disciple of Chu Yuntian, so when he heard that Chu Yuntian was sick, he became nervous.
"It's okay for you to go see grandpa, but don't worry, grandpa is almost recovered now." Chu Qiao saw Yin Hao's nervous appearance and comforted.
Yin Hao nodded at this time, and suddenly remembered something, "Qiaoqiao, guess who I met abroad?" β
"Do you have any acquaintances abroad?" Chu Qiao smiled and asked, "Who is it?" β
"That's it...... Xiao Ai! Yin Hao's eyes lit up and he said the name, "He actually studied in the same school as me!" β
"Xiao Ai?" As soon as Chu Qiao heard Xiao Ai's name, he couldn't help but stand up, "Is it really Xiao Ai?" β
"It's him, yes!" Yin Hao nodded, "Although his appearance...... There are some changes, but I've seen him, and I should be right. Don't you know, Xiao Ai has settled abroad, and the longer she grows, the more she looks like a foreigner...... Haha, I thought he had plastic surgery at first! β
"......" Chu Qiao and Yun Mo were silent for a while, it was not Xiao Ai who had plastic surgery, but the purest Dracula bloodline in Xiao Ai's body was probably activated now, so the domineering bloodline was probably already subtly changing his body now.
"He's ...... now. Are you okay? Chu Qiao finally came back to his senses from the joy of hearing Xiao Ai's news just now, "Is Xiao Ai okay?" β
Yin Hao nodded, "It seems that he is doing very well, and he has a girlfriend, and his girlfriend is also an Oriental, but ......"
"But what?" Chu Qiao saw that Yin Hao stopped talking, and his heart was shocked, so he hurriedly asked.
Yin Hao glanced at Yun Mo with some embarrassment, and smiled, not knowing whether to say it or not.
"What happened to Xiao Ai?" Chu Qiao owed something to Xiao Ai in his heart, so he was even more anxious.
He ...... That girlfriend of his, who looks very much like you......" Yin Hao touched his head and said with some embarrassment, "I met his girlfriend in the school library, and I thought it was you, but when I caught up, I was stopped, and that person was Xiao Ai." β
"His girlfriend is a lot like Jojo?" Yun Mo asked on the side.
Yin Hao knew Yun Mo's temper and hurriedly said, "It's not very similar, it's just that the back is a bit similar, so I recognized the wrong person at the beginning......"
Everyone knows that Yin Hao's snake painting is a supplement, I'm afraid that girl is really like Qiaoqiao, right? Otherwise, how could even Yin Hao recognize the wrong person?
Chu Qiao was silent for a while, and then suddenly laughed, "Well, that's the best, then I'm relieved too......"
Yun Mo also smiled heartily, "Yes, I'm also relieved." Well, when we are free, we will also go over there to play with Xiao Ai, who looks very similar to Qiaoqiao, and that is also fate! β
Everyone talked and laughed for a while, and Chu Qiao's heart inadvertently resurfaced the boy with a stubborn look, as long as you are doing well, everything will be fine.
