DTBS – Chapter 99
Chapter 99: Where Do I Sleep?
Tao Qiuyun put the luggage into the trunk of the Bentayga, then bent down to pick up the little cat standing beside her. After settling her into the child seat, she let Big Bold get in, watching it lie down in the back seat.
"Woof!" Yay, it's a new car Woof hasn't ridden in before! Spacious!
Tao Aiqin reached out and patted the dog's head, using the System's convenience to talk to the big dog: "We're going to a new home later."
"Woof woof~" Happy~
"We're about to set off," Tao Qiuyun got into the driver's seat, fastened her seatbelt, checked the rearview mirror to make sure her daughter wasn't moving around, and then started the car. "To find Mama."
"Okay!" The little cat waved her paw.
"Awoo awoo woof!" Woof wants to go stick to the other pretty owner too!
Her daughter's murmuring and the dog's barking occasionally echoed from the back seat, and Tao Qiuyun's lips curved up unconsciously...
This feels so good!
The stream blue Bentayga stopped at the entrance of Qin Qingshang's residential complex. The car's license plate had already been registered in the system, so it should have been let through the gate barrier immediately. But today, the complex's gate machine seemed to be broken; the barrier was open, and several traffic cones were placed in front.
A young security guard stepped forward and knocked on the car window, his tone slightly stiff: "Hello, please cooperate with the inspection."
"What inspection?" Tao Qiuyun rolled down the window. Although she could count on one hand the number of times she had been to this complex, this young security guard was the first she had seen.
"Excuse me!" Another security guard jogged over.
Tao Qiuyun was quite familiar with this jogging security guard. He was the same older brother who was there the first time she brought Qin Qingshang back to get her household registration book.
The security guard older brother seemed to have just returned from the smoking area. Seeing this scene, he immediately stepped forward. He was a strong middle-aged man, likely the superior of the young man in front of him. "He's new and doesn't recognize all the cars yet, I'm really sorry!"
This security guard older brother clearly recognized the car. He smiled at Tao Qiuyun, who had rolled down her window, and said, "Miss, I'm really sorry, the complex's gate barrier is broken today, and the repair team hasn't arrived yet, so we've put up cones here. I'll move them for you right away, sorry for the delay."
"It's fine." Tao Qiuyun was also understanding of the complex security guards' work.
"Which building are you a resident or visitor of, and what is the owner's name?" The young security guard held a registration book, looking serious. "Until the system is restored, we cannot confirm that every car has been registered under an owner's name, so we need to record every vehicle entering and exiting."
"No need, no need," the security guard older brother smiled and patted him, saying, "I know this lady, we've met before."
"But, Third Uncle..."
"No buts," he glared at his nephew, then moved the traffic cones for Tao Qiuyun. "Welcome home!"
"Thank you." Tao Qiuyun thanked him and drove into the complex.
"Woof!" Thank you!
Seeing the car drive away, the young security guard frowned and looked at the security guard older brother who was putting the cones back in place. "Third Uncle, didn't you say we had to record every car?"
"That was for cars I don't recognize! I've already talked to her, what are you still asking about? So clueless!"
"I've been here for a month or two, and I haven't seen her."
"Can't people just be back from a business trip?" The security guard older brother walked towards him and lightly patted him. "You won't see many cars of this model in the whole of Tianhua. That's a Bentley Bentayga, and it's the extended version. Look at the license plate again, they're all good numbers! And do you know how expensive the glass on this car is? You just went up and knocked on it! If you break it, I can't help you."
"How could it break so easily? That car is an SUV after all. We have many sports cars in this complex too, and I don't think they're as delicate as you say. Besides, my salary isn't low, I can afford to pay if I break it."
"One piece of glass on their car is nearly a hundred thousand. You'll pay? Yes, of course you can fix it, but how long will you have to live on air! Just recognizing the car badge without looking at the model, you'll step into a pit sooner or later!"
"Ah, this..."
"How many times have I told you, you're a security guard, just do your security job, don't interrogate owners or visitors like criminals. If they are kind to you, it's their upbringing, don't think you're some important figure. You'll hit a wall and won't even know it. Be smarter!"
"I understand, Third Uncle."
The security guard older brother shook his head and walked towards the rest room...
That lady came back with Qin Qingshang before. Being with a female star and driving a Bentley, she's at least someone of the Tianhua wealthy flower level. It's always right to build a good relationship.
However, this lady isn't actually an owner, but is here to see Qin Qingshang. There's no need to tell others about that. After all, maintaining the basic professional ethics of protecting owners' privacy, he still has that.
After parking the car in the parking spot, Tao Qiuyun dragged two large suitcases and said to Tao Aiqin, "Qinqin, can you help Mama push one suitcase into the elevator? Mama needs to hold Big Bold's leash so he doesn't scare anyone."
"Woof!" Woof can walk by himself.
Clearly, Tao Qiuyun didn't understand dog language and wouldn't let such a large dog run around by itself. She first sent a message to Qin Qingshang, then put a collar on the big dog and led it towards the elevator.
The little cat obediently helped her push a suitcase from behind.
At this time, there were people waiting for the elevator. Seeing such a large dog, they immediately moved away. A man frowned and hesitated for a long time before saying to Tao Qiuyun, "Hello? Do you also live in this building?"
"Yes," Tao Qiuyun naturally saw his eyes constantly scanning Big Bold, whom she was holding, and proactively said, "Are you afraid of dogs?"
"Yes, so could you wait for the next elevator? I don't want to be in the same small space with such a large dog." Even in a calm tone, his hidden dissatisfaction could still be heard.
"Woof woof~" Woof won't bite.
"I understand," seeing the elevator arrive, Tao Qiuyun made a gesture. "Please go ahead."
"Thank you," the man walked into the elevator and added, "I live on the 13th floor. I hope that in the future when you walk your dog, if you see me in the elevator, you can wait a moment. I'm really afraid of dogs, thank you!"
The elevator door closed. Tao Qiuyun stroked the visibly dejected big dog and gently comforted it, "Good boy, it has nothing to do with you. There are many people who don't like dogs, and many who do."
"Woof woof!"
The big dog wagged its tail at her.
Tao Aiqin looked up at the woman in front of her and said to the System, "Sys, her temper is really good. If it were me, I'd already be burning up."
Even if you're really afraid of dogs, there's no need to use that tone, right?
If it were her, she would definitely say a few sarcastic remarks to that person.
Tao Qiuyun looked composed, holding the dog's leash. After putting down the suitcases, she reached out to take the suitcase the little cat was pushing and praised, "Qinqin is so good!"
Smiling, she pressed the button for the 7th floor...
"Qiuqiu!" Qin Qingshang opened the door and saw Tao Qiuyun standing outside with the dog, clearly stunned for a moment. "I almost forgot about Big Bold."
"Mama!" The little cat reached out for a hug. "Qinqin missed you so much."
Qin Qingshang reached out and held her little paw, smiling, "Mama missed you too."
"Woof woof!" The big dog wagged its tail, wanting to get close to Qin Qingshang.
Tao Qiuyun pulled it back. "Qingshang, can you get a wet towel? I'll wipe its paws before letting it in."
"Okay." Qin Qingshang nodded, let go of her daughter's hand, and turned to the bathroom to wet a towel. Staring at herself in the mirror, she fell into thought again...
Big Bold is such a big dog, it must need a lot of exercise. If it doesn't get enough exercise, will it tear up the house?
Tao Qiuyun closed the door, took the wet towel from the woman's hand, untied the leash, lifted the big dog's fluffy paws, wiped them, and then let it into the house.
The floor was smooth, and the big dog's paws made a "tap tap tap" sound. It seemed happy in the new environment, turning in circles and bouncing around.
Qin Qingshang took the suitcases that Tao Qiuyun had wiped clean. "Did you only bring this much?"
"I brought clothes for me and Qinqin, some daily necessities, and her favorite puzzles," Tao Qiuyun squatted down to help her daughter take off her shoes. "If we need other things, I'll have someone send them over."
"I have all the daily necessities here," Qin Qingshang picked up her daughter. "I even prepared pretty slippers for Qinqin, washed and put on the balcony. Come on, Mama will take you to the balcony to wear the little bunny slippers."
"Woof!" Woof wants to go too.
"Oh, and Big Bold," Qin Qingshang looked at Tao Qiuyun, who was changing her shoes. "My place isn't as big as yours, but the balcony space is quite sufficient. Can Big Bold stay on the balcony?"
"Your place is north-south facing, not too sunny, it's okay," Tao Qiuyun walked into the house and saw Qin Qingshang holding Tao Aiqin and going to the balcony. For a moment, she felt like they were truly a family of three. "I..."
Big Bold lay down by her leg: "Woof woof~" She's ignoring Woof.
Tao Qiuyun's words were interrupted. Mistaking its meaning, she said, "Come on, I'll take you to the balcony to get some air."
"Woof!" Woof is okay again!
"I stewed some porridge," Qin Qingshang helped Tao Aiqin put on her shoes. "I saw you liked mushrooms before, so I stewed some mushroom soup. Dinner tonight is quite light, is that okay?"
"That's fine," Tao Qiuyun nodded. "I'm not particularly picky. Just live your normal life, I don't want Qinqin and I to complicate your life."
After saying that, she paused, and with a longing for a beautiful future, suggested, "Let's take turns cooking from now on."
"No!" Tao Aiqin shook her head vigorously. "I can take turns cooking with Mama, but not you!"
"Awoo awoo awoo woof!" Woof doesn't want to die yet!
"You cook?" Qin Qingshang couldn't help but laugh, shaking the little cat's hand. "What can Qinqin cook? Tell Mama, okay?"
"Qinqin can do lots!" The cat was proud. "It's all things clumsy Mama failed at, even Qinqin learned just by watching!"
System 030: "Um, what does Tao Qiuyun's cooking taste like exactly? Is it really as terrifying as you describe?"
Tao Aiqin: "You haven't tasted it... How about this, I'll give you an analogy. For example, to make a cup of coffee, a normal person would just add coffee beans, right? But what Tao Qiuyun makes tastes like somehow mixing caviar, tomato juice, and seaweed into the coffee beans. That's roughly the taste."
System 030: "?"
Tao Qiuyun: ...?
No need to praise yourself by stepping on me.
After dinner, Tao Qiuyun cleared the dishes. As she put the bowls into the dishwasher, she turned to Qin Qingshang and said, "Although I might not be good at cooking, I can't always trouble you to cook. Qingshang, let's occasionally order takeout, okay? St. Ya Restaurant also has delivery service."
"Okay." Qin Qingshang had no reason to refuse. Without having to cook, she was happy to relax.
After tidying up the kitchen, the family of three plus one dog began to unpack.
"Qiuqiu," Qin Qingshang placed the big shark and the little shark on the bedside table in the second bedroom. She hesitated slightly: "Qinqin sleeping alone at night, will she be okay?"
"Yes," Tao Qiuyun neatly folded her daughter's clothes one by one and put them in the closet. "She has always slept alone. Besides, I brought Big Bold's bed too."
Saying that, the woman turned to look at the big dog, who was biting a large velvet blanket and spreading it on the floor. "It can take care of Qinqin."
"You're letting a dog take care of Qinqin?" Qin Qingshang frowned.
"It's very smart," Tao Qiuyun stroked the big dog, who had finished making its bed and was wagging its tail constantly. "Right?"
"Woof!" Woof is not an ordinary Woof!
"Okay, then Qinqin will sleep alone tonight," Qin Qingshang's "Yan Kingdom Map" ended here. She looked at Tao Qiuyun, her expression a little shy, and said, "I only have two bedrooms. Why don't you tonight..."
"Don't worry, Qingshang," Tao Qiuyun heard her hesitation and was very considerate. "I've seen the layout of your apartment. The original audio-visual room is actually a bedroom, right? I see the space is quite large, and the sofa is very soft. I can sleep there."
Qin Qingshang: "...?"
Tao Aiqin: "...?"
Seeing the woman's clearly dissatisfied expression, Tao Qiuyun suddenly realized and immediately changed her words: "Or I can sleep on the tatami in the study. If you want to watch movies all night, or input acting knowledge, that's fine too."
The big cat had a question mark over her head...
I don't want you to sleep in the audio-visual room, is it because I want to watch movies all night?!
She's about to burn up, she's about to burn up again!
The little cat buried her face in the big shark's soft body...
Wuwuwu, save me, my villain mom, can she even misunderstand a signal like inviting someone to sleep together after moving in!
She hates iron for not becoming steel!
No, my female lead mom seems to be about to burn up. If you were truly wooden, she'd turn you to ash. Are you trying to prove that "true gold fears no fire"?
You're something else!
