Chapter 44: It’s Definitely Laziness—Yes, Laziness.

"His palace of parents is dim, which indicates that his parents are gravely ill and not long for this world. Since they couldn't be cured anywhere outside, why not bring them back to try? Perhaps I can cure them."

Bai Qianzhou looked at them with an innocent expression, and the few of them instantly perked up.

"Zhouzhou, can you really cure my dad?" Bai Jingcheng looked at Bai Qianzhou with excitement.

Before, perhaps he wouldn't have believed it, but now, he had no choice but to believe!

"Perhaps I can." Bai Qianzhou didn't make any absolute promises, but even this was enough to make them immensely excited.

"I will notify Jingmu to bring my dad back as soon as possible. When the time comes, I'll have to trouble you, Zhouzhou."

Bai Jingcheng looked at Bai Qianzhou earnestly. Bai Qianzhou said nothing, only raised her hand and made a rubbing gesture with her fingers.

"Understood. I certainly won't let you work in vain." After a moment of astonishment, Bai Jingcheng smiled helplessly.

Why was this little girl such a money lover?

After Bai Jingcheng left, Bai Qianzhou said a casual "Bye-bye" and vanished right before their eyes.

Everyone froze for a moment. Before they could even gather their wits, Bai Qianzhou suddenly reappeared right in front of them.

"Sorry, to avoid tripping and falling, I just used a teleportation talisman," Bai Qianzhou offered an embarrassed explanation.

Everyone looked at her with complex expressions. It would have been better if she hadn't explained, but with this explanation, they simply couldn't believe her. This girl was definitely not someone afraid of falling; she was just lazy—yes, pure laziness!

"Well, Zhouzhou, next time you teleport, give us a heads-up." We have weak hearts and scare easily.

"Oh, okay. Can I teleport away now then?" Bai Qianzhou blinked her eyes and looked at them innocently.

"Yes, yes, go get some rest first. When dinner is ready, I'll call you." Bai Lu waved at her, and Bai Qianzhou vanished in an instant.

"Um, Mom, Little Sis can only drink plain congee for the next two days," Pei Yanlin scratched his head.

"Drink plain congee? Why?" Pei Hexuan looked at his son in confusion.

Pei Yanlin helplessly recounted how Bai Qianzhou got a fishbone stuck in her throat while eating, earning him a swift slap on the head from Pei Hexuan.

"You were accompanying Zhouzhou and still let her get a fishbone stuck in her throat? What use are you, tell me?"

Pei Yanlin lowered his head, not daring to talk back. It was indeed his fault for not taking good care of Bai Qianzhou, and taking the scolding and beating was only right.

"Alright, alright, isn't Zhouzhou fine now? Yanlin, have all your matters been resolved?" Bai Lu patted her husband's arm.

"They're all resolved! Let me tell you, our Zhouzhou is simply amazing!" The moment Pei Yanlin started talking about Bai Qianzhou, he became full of spirit.

He pulled Pei Hexuan and Bai Lu down to sit and recounted everything Bai Qianzhou had done over the past two days, leaving the couple listening with boundless excitement.

They also regretted coming back too early; otherwise, they definitely would have caught a glimpse of the legendary Black and White Impermanence.

"There's really no need to regret. Little Sis is so capable, there will surely be plenty of chances to see them in the future. In fact, it's very likely we'll get to see even more bizarre and unusual things."

Pei Yanlin looked at them very seriously, then proceeded to explain Bai Qianzhou's misfortune-attracting destiny.

"Notify the interior design company and have them install carpets all over the house so she won't get hurt when she falls. Also, tell the housekeeper not to cook foods that are prone to causing choking or getting stuck."

Pei Hexuan issued orders directly. Pei Yanlin tried to speak twice, but both parents completely ignored him, so he simply shut his mouth.

Let them be; whatever they wanted to do was fine by him!

Bai Qianzhou woke up from a nap as dusk was falling. Coming down from upstairs, she saw that the house had visitors.
