God's Gift

After hearing this, Yu Youyou still buried her head. She pulled at the vines, looked wronged, and sobbed.

Chen Qingqiu looked at the humane behavior and expression of the puppy in front of him and wanted to laugh, but seeing that the puppy was in a bad mood, he held back, "Why are you still unhappy? Let me think about it, what should I do?"

He reached into his pocket and took out a hot egg, which was his breakfast today.

Looking at the puppy with its back to him, Chen Qingqiu took the egg, cracked it on the door edge, and began to peel the eggshell.

The hot air carrying the scent of eggs floated into Yu Youyou's nose. Yu Youyou sniffed it, suddenly raised her head, and her ears twitched twice in the air.

egg?

Yu Youyou's eyes gradually brightened. She turned around, stepped on the ground with her chubby paws, and walked in front of Chen Qingqiu. She put her four feet on the ground and tilted her head to look at the egg in Chen Qingqiu's hand.

Chen Qingqiu looked at Yu Youyou, whose eyes were fixed on him, and finally couldn't help laughing. He asked, "Are you okay now?"

Yu Youyou looked at Chen Qingqiu with sparkling eyes, and seeing the smile on his face, she also grinned and squinted her eyes. She walked forward a few steps and stretched out her claws to pull Chen Qingqiu's hand that was peeling the eggshell.

"Don't be impatient, it's not ready yet." Chen Qingqiu was touched by Yu Youyou and the egg he was holding almost fell to the ground. He pushed Yu Youyou's claw away.

After being pushed by Chen Qingqiu, Yu Youyou smiled and withdrew her hand, sitting upright on the ground, waiting for Chen Qingqiu.

Chen Qingqiu quickened his pace and finished peeling the egg in a few seconds. He handed the raw egg to Yu Youyou and said, "Eat it."

Unexpectedly, when his egg was placed in front of Yu Youyou, Yu Youyou just lowered her head and took a look without moving.

"Don't you want to eat it?" Chen Qingqiu handed it forward a little more, but Yu Youyou avoided the egg.

Chen Qingqiu stopped what he was doing, a little confused. Didn't he want to eat it just now? Why didn't he want to eat it now?

Yu Youyou looked at Chen Qingqiu's puzzled eyes and finally took action. She avoided Chen Qingqiu's hand holding the egg, walked in front of Chen Qingqiu, and shook her tail twice.

"What does this mean?" Chen Qingqiu looked at the puppy's strange movements.

Yu Youyou stretched out her paw, patted his hand holding the eggshell, and a snoring sound came from her throat.

"You want this?" Chen Qingqiu opened his palm and looked at the eggshell inside, feeling a little unbelievable.

Yu Youyou nodded seriously.

Chen Qingqiu looked at the puppy in front of him and nodded. On the one hand, he was surprised that the dog could understand what he meant, and on the other hand, he felt magical that it wanted eggshells.

But he still handed the eggshell in his hand to Yu Youyou.

Yu Youyou jumped, wagging her tail, opened her mouth in excitement, and took away all the eggshells in Chen Qingqiu's hand in one bite.

Chen Qingqiu laughed and was about to speak when a timid voice came from the side.

"teacher."

Hearing this voice, Chen Qingqiu's body stiffened for a moment, the smile on his face disappeared, and he supported himself on the edge of the field with one hand and stood up with some difficulty.

When he stood up, he looked at Ah Chou beside him and responded distantly, "Yeah."

After saying that, Chen Qingqiu picked up his briefcase, turned around and walked towards the school.

Ah Chou looked at his back, her eyes hidden by her hair were full of loss. She stood there for a long time before she came to her senses and followed him.

Yu Youyou, with a mouth full of eggshells, stood at the door with her head tilted, watching the two people leaving, as well as the female ghost following Chen Qingqiu.

After a few seconds, she shifted her gaze back and thought of the eggshell in her mouth. She looked around, ran to the corner, and swallowed the eggshell into her stomach with a crunch.

After she finished eating, she skipped back to the yard.

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou's particularly happy appearance and asked, "What happened that makes you so happy?"

Yu Youyou wagged her tail, ran to Lu Keming's feet, and said proudly, "Chen Qingqiu just passed by and gave me an egg to eat!"

Lu Keming didn't care much about Chen Qingqiu, but he couldn't help laughing when he saw Yu Youyou's ostentatious expression.

"Since you've eaten the eggs, you should be full." Lu Keming picked up the ribs prepared for Yu Youyou, waved them in front of her, and asked with a smile.

When Yu Youyou saw the ribs that Lu Keming was holding, her eyes widened and she immediately denied it: "Not full, not full!"

"I only ate a little bit, not enough." She shook her head, leaned to Lu Keming's legs, put her head on his calf, and looked up at him with a smile.

"Okay." There was a slight smile in Lu Keming's eyes. He picked up Yu Youyou, put her on the stool, and pushed the rice bowl in front of Yu Youyou.

Just as Yu Youyou was about to start eating, there was a noise outside. Lu Keming looked towards the door and his expression became calm.

"Grandma!" The clan leader's daughter-in-law pushed open the gate and shouted anxiously.

Seeing that it was her, Lu Keming's eyes showed a little more understanding. He snorted lightly, slowly withdrew his gaze, and touched Yu Youyou's ear.

Yu Youyou felt a little itchy because of him. She flicked her ears a few times and ignored Lu Keming's actions. She looked curiously at the clan leader's daughter-in-law.

"Hey!" Granny Li responded from the kitchen, walked out a few steps, looked at the anxious expression of the clan leader's daughter-in-law, and asked, "What happened? Why are you so anxious?"

"My father is missing!" The clan leader's daughter-in-law said in a panic, "He left home yesterday at noon, and he didn't come home in the afternoon. I thought it was okay, but he still didn't come back after a whole night."

"Grandma, have you seen him?" The clan leader's daughter-in-law grabbed Grandma Li's clothes, "I asked several families this morning, and they all said they didn't see him."

"I was working in the fields yesterday at noon and saw him passing by in a daze. I greeted him but he didn't respond." When Granny Li heard the clan leader's daughter-in-law mention the clan leader, the concern in her eyes faded and she said indifferently.

"Grandma..." The anxiety on the face of the clan leader's daughter-in-law became more and more serious, and her voice was a little pleading, "Have you seen where he went?"

Seeing her like this, Granny Li sighed.

"I think he was going up the mountain. Didn't he tell you that?"

"No." When the clan leader's daughter-in-law heard Grandma Li say that the clan leader was going to the mountains, her face immediately became nervous. She was about to say something, but when she saw Lu Keming standing aside, she shut up again.

Granny Li also looked at Lu Keming.

Under the gazes of the two, Lu Keming remained calm and composed, stroking Yu Youyou slowly and leisurely until Granny Li spoke.

"Well, Xiaolu, we have something to say, you see..."

At this time, Lu Keming raised his eyes and looked at the two of them, as if he had just noticed them, and replied:

"I was negligent." He smiled and said, "I'll leave now."

His eyes met Yu Youyou's briefly in the air. There was no apparent meaning in his eyes. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned and left.

After he left, Granny Li and the clan leader's daughter-in-law continued their conversation.

"Why would the clan leader go up the mountain alone at that time? Then..." Granny Li glanced at the mountain opposite, hiding the rest of the words, and only asked, "Isn't there still a few days left?"

Yu Youyou, who was sitting on the stool, pricked up her ears.
