Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Be Careful Not to Overthink and Cause Insomnia at Night

Lu Yichen didn’t feel there was anything in his family that couldn’t be talked about, and while he didn’t discuss his family background, he did talk about who was in his family, including relatives from his mother’s side.

Luo Qiao said with a smile, "Your family sure is complicated."

Luo Qiao figured no wonder he didn’t want to go home for the New Year, fearing that home was not as comfortable as it seemed outside. She even imagined a melodramatic plot where he was abused by a stepmother, complete with the addition of a stepfather.

Seeing Luo Qiao’s expression, Lu Yichen knew this girl’s thoughts had gone off-track and had no idea what she had conjured up in her mind. He reached out and flicked her on the forehead, "What are you thinking? My stepmother is actually quite decent compared to others."

Then Luo Qiao imagined another scenario, a stepmother who was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, kind on the outside but the opposite behind the scenes, and she looked at Lu Yichen sympathetically.

Lu Yichen chuckled, "Be careful not to let your imagination run wild, or you’ll have insomnia tonight."

Luo Qiao pouted, thinking to herself, "Really? As if you’re tough. Why else would you have run away from home? You can’t fool me."

Lu Yichen didn’t bother explaining further and just tidied up the garlic peels on the floor, "It’s late, better go to sleep. You have an exam tomorrow."

Luo Qiao stood up and went back to her room, taking out the clothes she had prepared for them. Stone had grown a lot recently, and the clothes made at the onset of winter now seemed a bit small.

When Stone saw the clothes Luo Qiao had taken out, he asked, "Sister, why are there so many?"

Luo Qiao replied with a smile, "I’ve put together two sets, from inner to outerwear, not too much. You need to have something to change into, right? Don’t think too much at your age, just grow up happily and focus on the present."

Lu Yichen only had two pieces, a cashmere sweater and a fashionable jacket, which he found only after visiting several places.

Luo Qiao asked, "I brought back quite a bit of seafood, do you want to send some to your family? We’ll be visiting them later anyway."

Lu Yichen’s focus was not where Luo Qiao pointed, "Couldn’t find the herbs? Going there again?"

Luo Qiao paused for a few seconds, mentally preparing herself, then said, "Yeah, I’ll need to find time to go."

Lu Yichen knew she must be lying but didn’t expose her, saying, "Alright, then they’ll also benefit from this."

In fact, many of his comrades were from the south, and now that Luo Qiao had brought it up, he was too happy about it. It was a perfect opportunity to send some to the old man back home, and less needed to be sent from his side, so his sister could have some too.

Thinking about what Luo Qiao liked to eat, he planned to ask his comrades to send some over later. After all, it’s better to owe favors, he thought with a smile on his face.

After Luo Qiao finished preparing, she pointed at the items she had taken out and said to Lu Yichen, "You guys take these snacks, and leave the ones to be mailed here. You can drop them off tomorrow on your way, to avoid the hassle of carrying them around."

Looking at the orchid on the windowsill, she asked, "Brother Lu, do you know where I can buy some nice-looking flower pots?"

Lu Yichen followed Luo Qiao’s gaze to the orchid on the windowsill, wondering why he hadn’t noticed it before, and asked, "Where did this orchid come from?"

Luo Qiao replied with a smile, "I brought it back from the south, it was quite a hassle. I’m thinking of transplanting them into a couple of nicer pots, I’m really good at gardening."

As Lu Yichen called out to Stone to leave, he said, "You really are something. I’ll ask around at work tomorrow, and remember to seal the stove well."

A bit concerned, he took a look inside before leaving with Stone.

After seeing off the two, Luo Qiao locked the front door and went back to her room. She then entered her space. She had previously sent out over a dozen fable stories with illustrations, which were well received, and the publication had even opened a special column for her.

She had previously contacted the editor, as she was going to be traveling far, and asked them to mail the remuneration for her work later. She estimated that it should have arrived by now. After coming down from the mountain, she had also sent a 160,000-word short story.

She should be receiving word soon about whether it was successful or not. After a workout and sorting out the things in the storage room, she took a bath and prepared to rest.

The next day, Luo Qiao didn’t get up to make breakfast because yesterday Lu Yichen had said he would bring it over, so she slept in a bit. She was just getting ready when she heard a knock at the door.

Luo Qiao opened the door and saw Lu Yichen standing outside, "Morning."
