Qin Lie took a deep breath and lay down on the other side. The two of them were very far apart, as if there was a Milky Way between them.
My nose was filled with the milky scent of the little kid. Even though I was extremely tired, I didn't feel sleepy at all.
Whenever I think of Zhou Zhou, my temples start throbbing.
He knew that his mother had always wanted a granddaughter, and it had almost become an obsession, but he didn't expect that she would actually pick up a little girl from outside, and not only that, but she also wanted him to be her father.
Nonsense.
He pinched his brows with a headache, and suddenly, he turned his head to the side, staring at the little girl who had quietly moved over at some point, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Seeing that he had discovered it, Zhou Zhou smiled awkwardly, then sat up, holding her chin and looking at him worriedly, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Can't you sleep? Do you need me to tell you a story to coax you to sleep?"
She kept calling him "Dad", which made Qin Lie's head hurt even more.
"No need." He refused coldly.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhou was not discouraged and moved closer to him, "Then I will recite the book to Dad."
Qin Lie closed his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to her.
Zhou Zhou thought that he had acquiesced, and said with a raised mouth, "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name..."
"When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was practicing the profound Prajnaparamita..."
Qin Lie's eyebrows moved slightly, and he understood what she was reciting.
The former is "Tao Te Ching" and the latter is "Heart Sutra", one is a Taoist classic and the other is a Buddhist scripture, but she knows them both by heart.
He suddenly remembered that during the day, Old Madam Qin had introduced Zhou Zhou's general situation to him. She said that she was in the temple at first, and later went to the Taoist temple. But he didn't know why her master let her go down the mountain at such a young age.
I don??t know if it was because the hypnotic effect of the scriptures was too strong, but he actually fell asleep.
After he fell asleep, Zhou Zhou stopped and looked at him with her cheek in her hand, sitting cross-legged.
My father is very handsome and has a good face, with a full forehead and clear eyebrows and eyes. He has a good face for great wealth and status.
When her eyes fell on one place, her brows furrowed again, and she said "Huh", and muttered to herself, "This shouldn't be the case."

The next day, when Qin Lie woke up, he was faced with a chubby little face.
"Morning, Dad!" Seeing him wake up, Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.
Qin Lie glanced at her and saw that she was already dressed. He then looked away, stood up, washed up, and walked out.
Zhou Zhou immediately followed closely.
Qin Lie turned his head to look at her, and Zhou Zhou also looked up at him, her dark eyes were watery, which made people feel soft-hearted.
Qin Lie swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, withdrew his gaze a little irritably, and strode forward.
The assistant was waiting at the elevator. When he saw him coming, he immediately walked over to him and said, "Boss Qin."
Qin Lie glanced at him coldly.
Knowing that he was in the wrong, the assistant lowered his head even more, pressed the elevator button attentively, and brought him his favorite breakfast.
Zhou Zhou looked at the huge restaurant and couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow", there are so many delicious foods.
Seeing her useless look, Qin Lie said calmly: "Go get whatever you want to eat."
After all, she is his mother's favorite child. If she really starves, he will have to be held accountable. It's troublesome.
Zhou Zhou looked at the tables around him and asked in a low voice, "Dad, can I eat all of these?"
"Yeah." Qin Lie nodded casually.
"I'm a big eater." Zhou Zhou drew a circle in the air with her hands and looked at him eagerly, giving him a shot of prevention.
Qin Lie sneered, "I'll make sure you're full."
What a joke. How much can she eat? Can she eat him into bankruptcy?
Ah.
Hearing this, Zhou Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, completely relaxed, and gave him a big smile, "Thank you, Dad!"
Qin Lie waved his hand and asked his assistant to take her to eat.
Zhou Zhou walked to the dining area and ordered a few meat dishes. When the assistant was about to take them, she said, "Except for these, I want all the others."
"Ah?" The assistant was a little dumbfounded, almost doubting whether she had heard it wrong, and said hesitantly: "Miss, do you want to reconsider it?"
The Qin family can afford to raise a child, but wasting money is not a good thing.
Zhou Zhou touched her chin and nodded thoughtfully, as if it was not enough to eat. She opened her little hand and said, "I want five buns!"
One is not enough, you need more.
The assistant choked, but in the end didn't say anything and just did as he was told.
Qin Lie was drinking coffee when he saw the assistant bringing dishes over one after another. Soon the table was full. He frowned and asked, "Why are you bringing so much?"
The assistant said, "The lady said she wanted something to eat."
Hearing this, Qin Lie looked indifferent and said nothing more.
Zhou Zhou climbed onto the chair nimbly and pushed the plate in front of him, "Daddy, eat!"
"No need." Qin Lie refused coldly.
All right.
Zhou Zhou had no choice but to take it back himself, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Every one of them is delicious!
She looked at the pile of food in front of her with sparkling eyes, her eyes curved into a crescent, and her little face was full of satisfaction.
The assistant was watching from the side, feeling a little frightened. At first he was worried that she would waste the food, but now he was worried that she would get sick from eating too much.
In just ten minutes, more than half of the originally full table was empty.
Although the food in the hotel is very small and not much in one bite, but there are so many plates, it is a considerable portion, enough for four or five adults. But she ate it all by herself!
Hearing the noise, Qin Lie also looked up, slightly surprised. Looking at the little girl opposite who was still being sucked in by the storm, the question he was thinking about last night suddenly had an answer.
Could it be that they had bankrupted the Taoist temple and could no longer support it, so they asked her to go down the mountain?
It must be said that he discovered the truth accidentally.
After finishing his full meal, Zhou Zhou touched his stomach and smiled at Qin Lie, "Thank you, Dad, for taking me out to eat!"
It turned out that grandma didn't lie to her, and her dad really could provide her with enough food.
Thinking of this, her eyes became brighter as she looked at Qin Lie.
Qin Lie felt it, but ignored it, wiped his mouth, stood up and walked out.
However, just as he reached the door, a flower pot suddenly fell down and landed at his feet, less than a centimeter away from him, almost hitting him.
"Mr. Qin!" the assistant exclaimed and looked at him worriedly.
The hotel manager heard the noise and hurried over, apologizing repeatedly.
Qin Lie seemed to be used to it. He walked around the flowerpot calmly and continued forward.
"Have all the meetings been arranged?"
"Yes, it's arranged. You can start when you get there."
"Um."
Zhou Zhou sat in the back seat and did not disturb them while they were working. She just kept her eyes on Qin Lie.
Thinking back to his reaction just now, it didn't seem like this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
It was unlucky but I didn??t really get hit, and it was lucky but I encountered such a low probability event.
She looked at him, took off the coin from her neck, threw it, looked at the hexagram on it, and suddenly realized.
It turns out that dad is still an unlucky guy!
