After a while, Qin Yu finally spoke, "I'm just curious… despite having known each other since a child but actually I don't know much about you…. "
"Hoo… so Little Yu starts to grow interested in me huh…"
Ling Luo's smile grew bigger with a hint of teasing in her foxy eyes.
"U-umm… s-something like that…"
Qin Yu didn't know why she was so timid in front of Ling Luo, maybe because she had a guilty feeling in her heart or maybe because Ling Luo always teased her.
It was like she wasn't her usual self.
"Hehehe… then ask me more…"
"I just realized I've never seen you go back to your hometown, Big Sis Luo. If I'm not wrong, you grew up in the same town as Dad. Ah, what is the name?"
"Ling Village."
"Ah… yes, Ling village! Wait, your surname is Ling, and Dad also had the same name."
"Yes. Uncle could be considered my distant relative."
"But Dad never brings me there, though?"
"Well…" Ling Luo hesitated for a moment and then said, "It's quite far after all, and it was a remote village near the mountain. There is nothing interesting there.'
"Um, what about your family?"
"I'm an orphan. My parents left me when I was still a child. It was Uncle who took pity on me and brought me here."
"Ah!" Qin Yu didn't expect that Ling Luo had a similar experience with her. "I'm sorry, Big Sis Luo…"
"Don't be sorry, Little Yu. After all, I don't remember much about my birth parents. It was Aunt and Uncle who gave me home and treated me as a member of the family." Ling Luo said lightly as if she was telling another person's story.
'And because of that, I can meet you…' Ling Luo thought inwardly.
Qin Yu felt a little bit awkward and didn't know what to do at the moment.
Fortunately, Ling Luo was quick to diffuse the awkwardness with a joke.
"Anything else you want to know, Little Yu? Perhaps about my first kiss?" she said teasingly.
"Bah, w-who's interested in such thing!"
They giggled together, and the mood lightened a bit.
"Umm, what about your hobby?"
She rubbed her chin before she answered while counting her finger, "I like cooking for you, taking care of you, enjoying your cuteness, and teasing you?"
"Wawawa…" hearing Ling Luo's answer, a pinkish blush crept to Lin Yu's cheek as her mouth opened and closed rapidly like a koi.
"Woah… so cute!" said Ling Luo while pinching Lin Yu's cheek, which was immediately slapped away by Qin Yu like a swatting fly.
Qin Yu pouted her lips, and said aggrievedly, "Big Sis Luo, you always bully me!"
"It's so much fun to tease you," said Ling Luo as she boisterously laughed.
"Hmph, do you think this mistress is easy to bully?" Qin Yu scowled while baring her canine teeth at Ling Luo.
"Forgive your insolent servant oh your excellency…" Ling Luo put her right hand in front of her right chest, made a small bow, and spoke dramatically.
"pfft… hahaha."
As they both burst into laughter at the same time from their silly act, the atmosphere became lively and cheerful.
"So, are you going back to City K?" Ling Luo asked.
"Uum, yeah… maybe in the next two weeks, and then I might have to settle some business there and pack my stuff—"
Before she could finish her sentence, Ling Luo grabbed her by the shoulders. Qin Yu could somehow tell that her hand was slightly trembling.
"Wait a minute! You're going to move out of your apartment?"
"Un."
"Where to?"
"Of course, here. It's not like I have another place to go to."
"Eh?"
"Eh?"
They looked at each other. There was a trace of excitement in Ling Luo's face, while Qin Yu wore a puzzled expression.
"A-are you serious, Little Yu? You want to move back to the mansion?"
"Yeah… I think living in a small town like this is quite good…"
She only answered vaguely. After all, she couldn't say the real reason, 'The fewer the people, the less I will encounter zombies in the future, and it will be easier to defend. Furthermore, I can only use my golden finger here for whatever reason, so it was pretty much set.'
"Good, good! I'll order some fresh vegetables and pork meat to celebrate after you come back!" Ling Luo clapped her hand excitedly.
"Hmm. I think it's not necessary, Big Sis Luo. We have a very spacious lawn in the backyard. We should start building a farm and raising cattle and poultry as soon as possible so we can be self-sufficient in the future, it's more affordable and healthier to eat something that we personally grow. If I can't even do this, I'll put a shame on my agricultural degree."
"Wow, Little Yu is so thoughtful. Okay, we can start planning and preparing the necessary things needed to make a new farm and poultry. We can also ask Uncle Wang for help."
Qing Yu nodded and said, "So… Do you want to do it together with me, Big Sis Luo?"
"Of course, dear. I can't be happier..!"
"Ah… I'm glad."
A smile rose on Qin Yu's beautiful face, stunning Ling Luo for a moment.
"Hmm… Big Sis Luo, why do you keep staring at my face?" Qin Yu touched her face and said, "Is there something on my face?"
"Ah, no, there's nothing there. It's just you're too cute~"
"Stop teasing me!"
"Anyway," Ling Luo poured a glass of water and put it on Qin Yu's table, "when do you plan to start?"
Qin Yu pondered for a while and then said, "I plan to visit Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Mom later after I finish having breakfast. I guess I'll check it out while on the way there."
"Okay! I'll go together with you,"
"Umm. Thank you."
Qin Yu nodded and wanted to continue eating, but she found that her food was gone, and the plates were empty.
Ling Luo watched Qin Yu's surprised expression and said, "Do you want another serving?"
"Urgh… s-second please…" Qin Yu said in embarrassment.
"Yup, yup!" Ling Luo prepared another serving for Qin Yu happily.
