Chapter 203 - 36_5
So rather than saying he was reading, it might be more fitting to say he was relaxing and easing his mind.
Beside him sat Qin Li, with "Qin’s Jiao Observation Method" in hand, while downstairs Grandma Liu was drinking tea and smiling as she looked up.
Li Zhiyuan had considered whether or not to tell Grandma Liu about the new insights into the "talisman" drawings of the Qin and Liu families. After thinking it over, he felt it wasn’t the right time yet—at least not until he had skimmed through all the books worth reading in the basement. What if there were other heritages from the Qin and Liu families in there?
In the afternoon, Li Zhiyuan put down his book and played several rounds of Go with Qin Li, then went downstairs with her to watch TV while snacking on paired snacks and beverages.
The TV was theirs for the taking; they could watch as long as they wanted.
But just watching TV can also become dull. Li Zhiyuan thought about whether to take Qin Li to the cinema to watch a movie. These days, besides holidays, the cinemas are mostly empty, so there’s no need to worry about Qin Li encountering strangers.
Li Sanjiang went out after lunch and when he returned and saw that Li Zhiyuan wasn’t studying, he wasn’t angry but rather pleased. He thought it was good that Xiao Yuanhou was gradually overcoming the shock of losing his residency registration.
Around five-thirty in the afternoon, a motorcycle approached, and the rider took off his helmet—it was Tan Yunlong. After greeting Li Sanjiang, he easily took Li Zhiyuan onto his bike and then started the engine again, smoothly making a turn down the dam.
Tan Yunlong’s motorcycle driving was even wilder than Uncle Qin’s, but fortunately, this time Li Zhiyuan had a helmet.
When they arrived at the police station’s family building, Tan Yunlong led the boy to the third floor and opened the door. A middle-aged woman wearing an apron and dressed modestly and friendly came out of the kitchen.
"So this is Xiao Yuan, right?"
