Chapter 5 Rescue Team: Chunyu, where is Miss Caiyan?

Bo Caiyan's eyes widened, her swollen, goldfish-like eyelids still visible. She was terrified by this horrifying statement: "What...peel...skin...?"

Bo Chunyu froze, chopsticks in her mouth: "Huh?"

The old lady laughed heartily: "Southern girls, huh? Frostbite almost always causes a layer of skin to peel off. Don't worry, even after a scrub, your skin will still chapped, right? Later, after you've been to a big hospital, come back here for a hot bath, and find a proper masseur to scrub you again, hehe~"

Bo Caiyan: "What is 'cun' (a type of wrinkle)?"

Bo Chunyu: "What is tangzi?"

Zhu Shulan looked at them strangely: "Cracks are dead skin, calluses, and dirt, and soup is hot spring duck."

Lu Chi chimed in, "Yanchuan is quite famous for its natural geothermal activity. There are hot spring pools everywhere, and some resorts even have non-freezing spring rafting. Indoor rafting seems to be available as well. Aren't you people in this line of work quite free? Since you're already here, why not go and have some fun if you have the time?"

"Me! We're so busy, okay?!" Bo Chunyu's eyes widened even more than Bo Caiyan's, and she seamlessly switched between her Spinosaurus and furry forms like a ruffled cat, panting, "Our Caiyan is so famous, okay? She's got so many gigs, okay? If this hadn't happened, she'd be joining another production soon, okay?!"

Lu Chi noticed Zhu Huiqing's gaze and asked, "You know her too?"

"We know each other." Zhu Huiqing didn't expect Lu Chi to suddenly bring her along. She looked away from Bo Caiyan and almost buried her head in her bowl. "I've listened to all her songs. She's really good. There's a variety show about her that's been very good lately."

"Food...combination?" Lu Chi roughly understood the meaning of this term, which was industry jargon to him, and he didn't mince words: "Singing, you mean? Do you have any records? A hundred autographed copies would barely cover your room and board!"

Bo Chunyu snorted and laughed in exasperation: "You don't even know our Caiyan? You really don't follow the entertainment industry at all?"

Lu Chi thought for a moment and gave a confident answer: "Follow them! I browse Bilibili, and sometimes I even post animal videos to trick people into giving me cat or dog food!"

"You still keep... Oh..." Bo Chunyu suddenly remembered something: "Where, where? I haven't seen a single one!"

"In another room."

"Hey, what's your ID? Can I follow you?"

"This is it."

"A wild senior?"

Bo Caiyan suddenly interjected, "Follow me with my main account, and follow me with my alternate account too, it seems quite interesting..."

"Hey, you didn't edit this super cute and bouncy girly video yourself, did you? Wait a minute!" Bo Chunyu's voice suddenly rose sharply as she held up her phone to Lu Chi: "Wait, wait! What kind of cat are you raising now?"

"Oh, this is a steamed bun."

"I recognize Doubao, oops, I mean I recognize this as a lynx, no, I mean, can these things be kept as pets?"

"Sure, they're free-range, they come over every few days to freeload, they've been like that since they were little. But it seems like they haven't come for about a month now, maybe they've run into that blond-haired guy dating someone!"

"This cute and cuddly style definitely isn't him, sis. You must have helped edit the video, right?" Bo Chunyu looked at Lu Chi jealously. "You have such a useful person and you're wasting her time editing videos? If you'd just let her appear on screen, you wouldn't only have 1,300 followers, and not even a single donation! Let me see, wow, so many cats and bugs, and you even have a dog? And this dog isn't right either, is it? What is this? A meteorite Samoyed and Blue Bay?"

Lu Chi said, "They look somewhat alike, but they are indeed a hybrid of North American gray wolves. They have a bad temper and are quite fierce. The Samoyed was picked up, and so was the gray one. It was from a dog meat shop on the street. As for the cats, they are all stray cats from the school. About half of them will leave when school starts because my food isn't very good."

"School?"

"Yes, just go around these mountain ridges to the south and you'll find Yancheng University and its affiliated high school."

"You study at Yancheng University?"

That happened after summer.

"No, little brother, you're only in high school?"

I took a year off from school in between.

Bo Chunyu counted on her fingers, and as she counted, a sense of despair gradually crept into her heart: "So... when I was in college you were only... I was almost old enough to give birth to you... how did you grow so big... did you eat fertilizer?"

Zhu Shulan's mouth was full, like a hamster: "Don't cry, even a small one is cute, Daddy, I want to eat that~"

Zhu Huiqing raised an eyebrow, her calm, unwavering eyes like a deep, still pool: "Zhu! Shu! Lan!"

Zhu Shulan sullenly said, "Heh..."

Bo Chunyu's gaze darted back and forth between the little old woman, the twins, and Lu Chi, filled with longing, yet also a hint of apprehension at the thought of listening any longer.

"((꒪ཀ꒪」∠)_"

"Hamster's Silent Roar.jpg"

"Wait, wait a minute! What did she just call you? Are we part of your play too?"

Lu Chi pointed to the old peach tree outside: "Didn't you see the firecrackers just now?"

The old woman sighed, "When the old village up here was still there, these two girls' father, my son-in-law, was carried out of the landslide by Lu Chi's father. After the village moved down below, our house was flooded, and it was Lu Chi and his father who carried our whole family out. As a result, he choked on the smoke and his lungs were damaged, and his health never improved. He passed away young. I originally wanted to directly acknowledge Lu Chi as my father, but firstly, he was of a higher generation, and the villagers didn't agree, and secondly, he himself wasn't willing. So I simply acknowledged that old peach tree that was struck by lightning and then came back to life. A peach is hard to come by!"

"Ah... I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry... I didn't know..." Bo Chunyu stared at Lu Chi, hesitating for a long time before finally saying, "But do you have some kind of special constitution? How come you're saving people everywhere?"

"Maybe... I did too many heartless things in my past life... and this is me paying off a debt..."

"Clam?"

Not long after they finished eating, several fully armed men, accompanied by medical personnel carrying stretchers and life support equipment, came up the mountain. Upon entering, they anxiously looked around: "Chunyu, where is Miss Caiyan?"

In short, this was more heart-wrenching than any script Bo Caiyan had experienced in the past few days. She didn't cry when she fell into that place, she didn't cry when Lu Chijiu's fierce and powerful actions tormented her to the point of death, she didn't cry when she learned that she had survived, and she didn't cry when she saw her best friend Bo Chunyu. But now she was sobbing uncontrollably, as if she was about to suffocate.

Even as she was being carried out, she struggled to tell Lu Chi, "I...I'll be back!"

Bo Chunyu clenched his fist, vowing confidently, "I will come back!"

The group gave a hasty thank you and a few words, then hurriedly left. As soon as they were gone, Lu Chi collapsed into the sofa as if his bones had been pulled out: "Going to catch up on sleep, haven't slept for three days!"

Then, there was no more sound, and I fell asleep instantly.

The old lady turned to look at the expectant Zhu Shulan: "When he wakes up, help him make some food. Behave yourself and don't cause trouble. Zhu Shulan, eat less, don't bother him, listen to your sister, and remember to do your homework!"

"Okay, Grandma, I'll take you downstairs and then bring your homework back up!"

"At least you still have some conscience!"

"whee..."

After the two left, Zhu Huiqing squatted in front of the sofa and watched Lu Chi for a while. She then tiptoed up and put several large pieces of firewood into the fireplace. She went to the bookshelf on the other side, found the textbooks that Lu Chi had used, and quietly sat down on the small sofa next to her, writing and calculating.

When Zhu Shulan returned, it was already past three o'clock. The sun was setting and the night was growing dark. She didn't have any homework in her hand, so she hurriedly snuggled into Zhu Huiqing's arms and said, "Grandma and Eighth Uncle were taken away by the village head's family to eat and play cards. It's so cold, so cold. Sis, have I finished my homework?"

Zhu Huiqing sighed, "Sis, you're in middle school now, teachers really can recognize handwriting..."

"Impossible!" Zhu Shulan picked up a pen and wrote a few words on it: "Look, look, it's exactly the same, exactly the same!"

"Don't come crying to me if you get scolded again. If you cry again, I'll send you back to your old school!"

"No! That's terrifying! Things missing limbs, things that can't see or hear, and things that drool at me! I... I'm scared!"

"Then you should do your homework properly!"

"I don't know how... sis... is high school easy to study?"

"Easy to read."

"You lied to me again!"

"Difficult to read."

"Can I stay in elementary school forever? They can't even beat me in a fight for food! I'm amazing at elementary school!"

"cannot!"

"Oh..." Zhu Shulan was a little disappointed, but then her eyes lit up, and a thought suddenly struck her: "Then, can I skip a grade like you and go straight to university? Dad said university is super easy, no homework, no classes running overtime, the food is delicious, and the teachers aren't mean..."

"Godfather...he got in through a special recommendation..."

"Send them to university?"

"Hmm...graduate student...bachelor's, master's, and doctoral program combined..."

"Give birth to what?"

Zhu Huiqing took a deep breath and smiled, "Let's go find something to eat, and wash some fruit."

"Oh..."
