Chapter 1764: Chapter 1763: Adorable
"I never thought it would turn out this way. I was indeed a bit impulsive at the time." Chu Chengfeng frowned, knowing Qin Yize’s capabilities, and trusted him as a brother you could entrust your life to. He certainly wouldn’t put on airs with him. One could say his emotions were genuine at this moment, just like before.
On the other end, Qin Yize sneered, "Celebrities don’t speak in riddles. As a newly appointed clan leader, your skills still need improvement. How come you’re not as good as before your awakening?"
Qin Yize’s voice carried a hint of sarcasm as he spoke.
Chu Chengfeng felt a bit indignant at this, thinking to himself, weren’t you the same before you liked Gu Qiaoqiao?
What did you do that was much better than me?
Didn’t you disappear for half a year as well?
However, he wouldn’t dare say this for anything in the world. Qin Yize was fine with everything else, but when it came to Gu Qiaoqiao, he didn’t recognize anyone. All friendship felt like smoke blowing past.
He muttered a few words, "...The deed’s done now, and there’s no way to mend it."
Moreover, the damage was done. With Sima Xiaowen’s personality, even if he kneeled down begging for forgiveness, she wouldn’t bother with him. He wouldn’t go looking for that kind of rejection.
On the other end, Qin Yize listened to Chu Chengfeng speak with the air of a pig unafraid of boiling water, unable to associate this with the Chu Chengfeng who laughed before speaking, always adept at handling situations.
They say that once the bloodline awakens, one’s intelligence and many other aspects are supposed to improve significantly. How come it feels like his good brother not only hasn’t improved, but has regressed quite a bit?
Just speaking of intelligence, it seems as if he’s become like a child.
Qin Yize shook his head involuntarily; emotions are between two people. Now that Sima Xiaowen has let it go, naturally, there’s no need to cling to it and stir up the matter again.
But there were things he indeed wanted to tell Chu Chengfeng.
Because he felt that Chu Chengfeng’s actions were contrary to his usual nature.
He thought the old Chu Chengfeng had been swallowed up, but listening to his tone earlier, it was still the old Chu Chengfeng; only his intelligence had declined significantly.
Qin Yize shook his head regretfully—this was worse than not awakening. The awakened Chu Chengfeng wasn’t as good as before.
Qin Yize made this call not wanting Chu Chengfeng to try to win back Sima Xiaowen; after all, given their current situation, it’s just impossible. He merely subtly reminded him, "Chu Chengfeng, since you’ve forgotten everything, remember what I said today—avoid provoking Sima Xiaowen in the future."
Chu Chengfeng hastily assured him, "Ah Ze, rest assured, I won’t get close to her fast enough. How could I provoke her?"
"That’s for the best. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up."
On the other end, Qin Yize promptly hung up the phone, while Chu Chengfeng, holding the bulky mobile phone, lowered his head for a long while, furrowed his brow, then turned the corners of his mouth disdainfully. With a head full of muddled thoughts, he waved his hand in a seemingly venting gesture, placed the phone on his desk, and went for a nap.
Gu Qiaoqiao knew Qin Yize had called Chu Chengfeng. Although she felt the call was somewhat pointless, it did serve to indirectly remind Chengfeng.
It reminded him of what should be done as a person of Chu Chengfeng, unless he left the Imperial Capital, away from here to some desolate mountain forests, then no one would bother him.
Qin Yize inquired about Sima Xiaowen’s situation; he was also quite concerned about her.
After hearing from Gu Qiaoqiao that Sima Xiaowen had almost recovered, he felt relieved.
Then the two discussed their Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei. Qin Yize sighed, "Qiaoqiao, you don’t know until you leave. After leaving, I realized there are many kinds of longing."
Gu Qiaoqiao raised her brows in surprise, somewhat amused, "You haven’t seen me for a few days, how did you become so poetic? So, tell me, how many types can your longing be divided into?"
"For me, there are three types."
"Which three?" Gu Qiaoqiao was also piqued with interest.
"The first type is longing for a lover, which I’m sure you can understand, Qiaoqiao," Qin Yize said, speaking with a double meaning.
Gu Qiaoqiao: "..."
This guy never misses an opportunity to express himself.
"And the second type?"
"The second type is longing for one’s bloodline, ingrained in the bones. Just thinking of these two children, the blood seems to flow faster."
Without waiting for Gu Qiaoqiao’s follow-up questions, he continued, "The third type is longing for family, unchanged from the past."
Gu Qiaoqiao chuckled.
"Your category summary is quite a stretch."
"Do you miss me, Qiaoqiao?"
On the other end, Qin Yize rounded off several topics and finally asked what he wanted.
"You’ve only been gone a few days!" Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t tell him.
"It’s been over ten days now."
"But sometimes we’d be apart for several months back then."
"But at that time, my longing was already flooding like a disaster."
On the other end, Qin Yize, without blinking, quickly replied in earnest.
Gu Qiaoqiao burst into laughter.
At that moment, she was sitting next to the pram, looking at Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei with a face full of smiles.
The two babies were now five months old and had long learned how to crawl.
Comparatively, Xiao Bei was the naughtiest one.
Then the scene before her left Gu Qiaoqiao somewhat stunned. On the other end, Qin Yize couldn’t hear her speak and quickly asked, "What’s wrong, Qiaoqiao? Why aren’t you speaking?"
"Would you like to know what Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei are doing now?"
"I’m so far away, without a clairvoyant eye, how would I know?" Qin Yize responded, somewhat aggrieved.
"Well, let me tell you, Xiao Bei is now grabbing onto the bars, trying to climb up..."
"Her little leg is already resting on the bar."
Qin Yize grew anxious, "Why didn’t you stop her? What if she accidentally falls? Xiao Bei is a girl! She shouldn’t fall at all."

"...Can you guess what’s happening now?" Gu Qiaoqiao teased him deliberately.
"You wicked girl, I can’t see! Are you deliberately trying to make me anxious?"
"No, I’m doing live commentary. Your son Xiao Bao, seeing his sister halfway over, calmly reached out, grabbed onto Xiao Bei’s clothes, gave a tug, and pulled his sister back in. Now, Xiao Bei is sitting on the baby bed, hitting the blanket below with her two fists, babbling to her brother as a way of protest..."
Qin Yize imagined the scene, finding it too cute—so cute his heart was about to melt.
He wished he could fly home now.
After visualizing for a while, he hastily asked, "...What’s happening now?"
"Xiao Bei has a short memory; now she’s playing with her brother again, though she bullies Xiao Bao more often."
