Days and nights of pursuit of Dottore

Chapter 154 Eavesdropping

Aqi interrupted him, "How is that possible? I'm just a little worried. Guimu and the others said that my identity cannot be easily revealed to others, but I don't want to hide it from you."

Archie rubbed the corner of the quilt in his hands, still feeling uneasy.

"I'll keep it a secret for you, too. You only have one identity here, which is my friend. It has nothing to do with your other identities. There are many non-human creatures around me, and I even have a sister whose original form is a Qilin."

"Kirin?"

"Yes, yes, it's furry and super soft. I haven't told you about my family yet, right? I came from Liyue, where I met my most gentle and beautiful master..."

The night is long, the boy’s voice is sweet, and the story is heartwarming.

Aqi's eyelashes trembled as he listened to Cheng Yan telling the story of a dragon bigger than a mountain and gradually fell asleep.

With all his worries gone, Archie slept peacefully.

It’s great that he is not afraid of me and is willing to share so many interesting people and things with me...

The next day.

Cheng Yan was sleeping soundly on the bed when suddenly a shout was heard from inside the room.

"Wake up! Niwa and the others are about to leave!"

"Boom-"

"Ah...hiss, hey, be gentle!"

Cheng Yan covered his head which had hit the wall, raised his hand and hit the wall hard.

Archie suppressed a laugh, "This hole is actually quite useful. Come on, get up. I've already packed it up."

"Why didn't you call me earlier!" Cheng Yan hurriedly got out of bed and put on his clothes quickly.

"Come here, wait for me."

When he went out, he met Aqi who was dressed neatly. Cheng Yan looked at him seriously, then raised his eyebrows and whistled.

"What a handsome young man! I almost fell in love with you at first sight."

Aqi's face suddenly turned red, and he yelled at Cheng Yan with a fierce expression.

"Get out of here! Don't talk like that outside!"

Cheng Yan felt aggrieved. He walked forward, put his arm around his shoulders, and leaned on him as if he had lost his bones.

"I'm telling the truth."

Aqi's body was stiff, and it took him a long time to recover. He slapped Cheng Yan's hand in disgust but did not push him away.

We followed Niwa's convoy for a while and gradually approached Inazuma Castle.

At dawn, Inazuma Castle was already brightly lit, with a noticeably more lively atmosphere than other places.

The convoy stopped outside the city. Cheng Yan and his companion watched Niwa walk into Inazuma Castle and meet a businessman dressed in gorgeous clothes, and touched his chin.

"It's time to socialize now."

Archie looked up curiously, "What's socializing?"

"Well, it's just people with needs flattering each other at the dinner table. It involves money, power, and sex."

Cheng Yan lowered his head to meet Aqi's serious gaze and rubbed his head.

"Children shouldn't listen to this."

Archie glared at him, "I'm not a kid!"

"Okay, you're not a kid, little adult, let's go eat something first, I'm starving."

Cheng Yan skillfully stroked the person's fur and led him to the store that Niwa went to.

Social gatherings are not suitable for proper meals. Cheng Yan didn't like those flashy dishes in his previous life. He could only eat a few bites of a table full of them. Moreover, the portions were small and they got cold when he put them in his mouth. He got a stomachache just thinking about it.

They went up to the second floor of the restaurant with Archie, and the woman with a gentle expression respectfully handed them the menu.

Cheng Yan put the menu in front of Aqi, "Order whatever you want, it's my treat."

Archie stopped and looked around, then looked at the thick menu in his hand.

So novel... So this is what eating out is like.

Pointing at a few novel dishes, Aqi handed the menu to Cheng Yan, "I've chosen."

Cheng Yan pointed to the dishes at the front of the menu and said, "Add these few more, please hurry up."

"Ok."

The woman bent down and stepped out. Cheng Yan raised his hand to pour a cup of tea for Aqi, and looked at him with his chin in his hand, his eyes bright.

"Do you like it here?"

Archie nodded, "It's more interesting than I thought. Those dishes look delicious."

Cheng Yan took a sip of tea and asked, "You've never been to a place like this before?"

Aqi shook his head. "I don't go out often after I arrived at the Tadashi Sword Forge. When I go out, I'm with Niwa and the others. I don't want to wander around alone."

"Then I will accompany you from now on."

Cheng Yan looked at him and smiled. He felt that the person in front of him was a bit like his younger brother in his previous life. They both didn't like to be alone. However, Ah Zhen was more cheerful than the person in front of him.

“Ding, ding——”

A slight sound of metal collision was heard, and Cheng Yan looked out the window.

"Did you hear the sound?"

Archie nodded, but before he could speak, another voice came.

"Brother Niwa, we have received this batch of goods, but our cooperation will be suspended for a while."

"Brother Changzong, what are you dissatisfied with about this batch of goods? Just let us know. We will definitely satisfy you if we can change it."

Cheng Yan and Aqi looked at each other. Both of them were people with sharp ears and eyes, and they could hear clearly the conversation between Niwa and the businessman through the two windows.

The next moment, without any other communication, the two stood up and walked to the window, leaning forward to hear more clearly.

The woman serving the food was startled by the two men's strange, coordinated movements. She carefully placed the food on the table and left.
