After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Dad Qin is Awesome
Found on the street?

Liao Jiang repeated these words in his mind and jokingly asked, “Where did you find her? If I have a chance, I’d like to find one too.”

The little girl had a soft appearance that made people’s hearts melt. She was young but quite impressive.

Remembering what happened today, Liao Jiang took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to her. “Little girl, this is my token of appreciation. I’m really grateful for your help today.”

Zhouzhou remembered this little card. Her Grandma had given her one before.

She glanced at Qin Lie and saw him nodding, so she accepted the bank card. After thinking for a moment, she took out a talisman from her bag and handed it to him. “Uncle, put this under the little brother’s pillow. He just experienced a life-or-death situation, and his soul is unstable. With this Soul Stabilization Talisman, nothing bad will happen to him.”

“And don’t worry about the bad person who kidnapped him. She will be caught soon and won’t have a chance to harm him again.”

“Alright, alright.” Upon hearing this, Liao Jiang didn’t hesitate and quickly took the talisman with both hands. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Zhouzhou shook the bank card in her hand. “It’s a reciprocal gift.”

Although the little girl was young, she spoke in a roundabout manner. Liao Jiang couldn’t help but find her even more likable.

After returning to the hotel, Zhouzhou went to the restaurant first and ate a table full of dishes to fill her stomach before following Qin Lie back to the room.

After taking a shower, Zhouzhou came out of the bathroom, holding a towel even bigger than herself, and rubbed it on her smooth head. When she looked up, she saw Qin Lie on the phone. The voice on the other end sounded familiar, and her eyes lit up. She trotted over, her eyebrows curved with joy. “Grandma!”

On the other side, Madam Qin also heard her voice and exclaimed, “Yes!” She hurriedly urged Qin Lie, “Quickly open the video so I can see my precious granddaughter.”

Qin Lie furrowed his brow. He had been planning to hang up, but he didn’t expect the little girl to come out at this moment, and her hearing was so sharp.

Listening to Madam Qin’s urging, Qin Lie opened the video and handed the phone to Zhouzhou.

“Grandma.” Zhouzhou looked at the person on the phone and was overjoyed.

Madam Qin’s face was filled with wrinkles from smiling. “Zhouzhou, how was your day? Are you happy? Did anyone bully you?”

As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully to the side.

Qin Lie was holding a laptop, engrossed in reading a project proposal, and didn’t bother to look up.

Zhouzhou happily replied, “I’m happy! Nobody bullied me. Dad is really nice. I really like him!”

Listening to her cheerful voice, Madam Qin could tell she wasn’t lying, and she was even more satisfied.

Although she wanted Zhouzhou’s household registration to follow Qin Lie, it didn’t mean she wanted Zhouzhou to be mistreated.

“If he treats you badly and you won’t want this dad anymore, grandma will find you a better one.” She said.

“No.” Zhouzhou flatly refused. “Dad is good, I don’t want to change!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie’s fingers on the laptop paused for a moment, and he glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.

The smile on Madam Qin’s face grew even wider. “Alright, alright, no change.”

She raised her voice and said, “Zhouzhou likes your dad so much, and that’s his fortune. I don’t know what blessings he accumulated in his past life to have a daughter like you. Grandma is envious. Who does Zhouzhou like the most?”

At these words, Zhouzhou chuckled mischievously. She knew the answer to this question from her senior brothers in the past.

“Dad can make Zhouzhou full, Grandma buys pretty clothes for Zhouzhou, both of you are good, and Zhouzhou likes you all!”

What a smart girl.

Madam Qin didn’t want to make things difficult for her. “Alright, since Zhouzhou likes it, then stay with him for now. When you come back, remember to call Grandma in advance, and Grandma will make delicious food for you.”

“Okay!” Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up at the mention of food, watery and even more endearing to others.

The two of them chatted for over an hour before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

Qin Lie didn’t know where they found so much to talk about. He furrowed his brow and poured a glass of water for her.

Zhouzhou didn’t take it and drank a few sips from his hand, tilting her head and smiling at him. “Thank you, Dad.”

Qin Lie casually responded with a “Mm” without realizing that he had already accepted this title.

Seeing that she didn’t go to bed but instead leaned over the table, took out talisman paper and a cinnabar pen, and furrowed her brow, he asked, “What are you doing?”

“I’m drawing talisman for Dad,” Zhouzhou replied without looking up. “That bad person who stole Dad’s luck hasn’t been dealt with yet.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie also remembered Qin Rui’s matter. And considering that Zhouzhou recognized Liao Jiang’s face and found Liao Yu today, he understood that this little girl was different from other children.

He furrowed his brow and asked, “Did Qin Rui really provide offerings to an evil god at home?”

Just thinking about that scene made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

He never expected the honest and straightforward Qin Rui to do such a thing.

“Yes,” Zhouzhou said, her brows furrowing as well. “That evil god stinks all over, even worse than poop. Not only is the bad person wicked, but also stupid. Can anyone just casually bring an evil god home?”

As the saying goes, it’s easy to invite a god, but difficult to send one away, especially when it’s an evil god. It is the embodiment of evil itself, and once the offerings are cut off, it will result in even greater malevolent retaliation.

Evil gods are not that easy to deal with.

Resting her cheek on her hand, Zhouzhou said, “Now Dad’s luck has been cut off, and the evil god can’t get luck from you anymore. It can only absorb it from other sources. The bad person is in for a rough time.”

She took a bit of pleasure in this and snorted. After all, the person who harmed her Dad was wicked and would face retribution.

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie nodded and asked, “What do we need to get rid of the evil god?”

“We need something with spiritual energy, like a crystal or jade. We attract the evil god out with it and then eliminate it.”

That’s how it works.

Qin Lie was deep in thought when the little doughball suddenly pounced on him. He instinctively reached out and caught her, lowering his head to meet a pair of sparkling eyes.

Zhouzhou hugged his neck and asked cheerfully, “Dad, do you believe what I said?”

“No,” Qin Lie’s face remained expressionless, wanting to put her down, but Zhouzhou refused to let go. She held on tighter, buried her little face in his neck, and rubbed against him. “It’s okay if Dad doesn’t admit it. I know.”

“Dad, don’t be afraid. Zhouzhou will protect you!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie’s hand on her shoulder paused for a moment. Then, he pulled the little girl off him and tucked her into the blanket. “Go to sleep quickly.”

Zhouzhou wasn’t discouraged. She wrapped herself in the blanket, rolled around in bed, and turned herself into a little cocoon. Then, she rolled to the other side of the bed, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at him. “Dad, don’t be shy. You clearly like me, don’t you?”

Qin Lie glanced at her and was about to speak when Zhouzhou suddenly slapped a talisman on him.

Before Qin Lie could understand what was happening, his mouth uncontrollably uttered a sentence, “Bald heads are fun to touch.”

After saying that, his face turned completely black.

Zhouzhou, on the other hand, smiled brightly. Before he could get angry, she rolled to the other side of the bed, her head bobbing up and down as she nestled into the blanket. After a short while, she popped up again.

“Dad, I heard it! You said you like me!”
