Chapter 860: Chapter 26: Meeting Her Majesty the Queen (Extra for Alliance Master Xianglong Daoshi!)_4 Chapter 860: Chapter 26: Meeting Her Majesty the Queen (Extra for Alliance Master Xianglong Daoshi!)_4 Lin Xian took Yan Qiaoqiao to many places and also watched with her the famous animated movie that had started re-screening since the beginning of the May Day Golden Week—
“Howl’s Moving Castle”
Yan Qiaoqiao watched it very intently, immersing herself in Hayao Miyazaki’s colorful yet gentle hand-drawn style, experiencing a taste of exotic magic.
Lin Xian had watched this movie when he was younger.
But he had forgotten most of it.
Upon reflection...
It had been a very long time since he had watched a movie so leisurely.
Although he was accompanied by Yan Qiaoqiao, a girl he wasn’t very familiar with,
Lin Xian inexplicably felt a sense of warmth.
It felt very comfortable.
...
Very relaxed.
After coming out of the movie, they happened upon the coin-operated arcades that were a staple in every big shopping mall, and some places even whimsically named themselves XX Anime City.
But the equipment inside was all the same.
Claw machines, basketball, racing, whack-a-mole, coin pushers...
In short, all were money pits.
However,
Yan Qiaoqiao decisively extended her judging right index finger, pointing at the flashy arcade with its booming music:
“I want to catch plushies.”
“Heh, sure, let’s go.”@@@@
All day, Lin Xian hadn’t declined any of Yan Qiaoqiao’s requests; whatever she wanted to do, he simply went along, never feeling tired or weary.
On the other hand, VV had given out early, its face screaming “I want to go home.” “I want to sleep.” “I can’t walk anymore.”
Thus, Lin Xian bought a large tote bag from Jumei Premium, put VV directly inside:
“VV, you can just sleep in here if you want.”
“This is your...’VV’s Moving Castle’.”
Pfft—
Extremely rare!
Yan Qiaoqiao actually burst out laughing!
For a moment, her laughter blossomed like pear flowers, stunning the entirety of spring.
So Qiaoqiao can laugh too...
“Goodnight, Qiaoqiao.”
Lin Xian bent down once more, looking at the unconscious Pomeranian:
“Goodnight, VV.”
But this time.
The sleeping human-canine duo did not respond.
...
The next morning, Zhao Yingjun came back early, picking up Yan Qiaoqiao and the Pomeranian VV:
“Thanks for your hard work, Lin Xian.
For a man who has never raised children or dogs...
I feared it would be too tiring for you, so as soon as the memorial service ended, I hurried back.
Have these two days been exhausting?”
“Not at all.”
Lin Xian laughed and waved his hand:
“I actually enjoyed it quite a bit; both Qiaoqiao and VV are very likable.”
After saying this,
He crouched down, touching the top of Qiaoqiao’s ponytailed head.
Qiaoqiao was really getting smarter, her learning ability stronger than ever.
Though there was still quite a gap compared to a normal fourteen-year-old girl, Lin Xian felt she could now be considered normal, feeling fortunate about the intellectual disability of Yan Qiaoqiao not being as severe as he had imagined.
“Goodbye Qiaoqiao, feel free to come play anytime.”
Yan Qiaoqiao, holding an armful of plush toys she could barely carry, straightened her back and nodded.
“Wow, you actually caught so many plushies.”
Zhao Yingjun smiled and asked Yan Qiaoqiao:
“Isn’t Brother Lin Xian great?”
“He’s great,” Yan Qiaoqiao sincerely said.
“Do you really like Brother Lin Xian?”
“I do,” Yan Qiaoqiao was as straightforward as ever.
“Then shall we call Brother Lin Xian to go out and play together in the future?”
“Okay,” Yan Qiaoqiao looked up at Lin Xian, her eyes full of anticipation.
“Well then, we’re heading back now, Lin Xian.”
Zhao Yingjun, who had brought the driver with her, watched as the driver had already loaded the suitcases and trolley into the elevator, waved her little hand, and bade farewell to Lin Xian:
