Genius

The last two rows of seats in the car could be folded down to create a very large loading space. After Qin Yanan tidied up the car, Liu Chang'an carried the coffin inside.

After washing her mouth, Zhu Juntang returned to the car, touched the coffin, and said, "We came here to find this big box, didn't we?"

"This is a coffin," Qin Yanan said, and then prepared to get in the car.

Zhu Juntang was startled and quickly withdrew her hand, then washed it before saying fearfully, "... We... we're here to rob a tomb? Could there be zombies in here?!"

"It's not tomb raiding, there are no zombies." Liu Chang'an told Qin Yanan to sit in the back. "I'll drive. You must be tired, take a good rest."

Qin Yanan originally wanted to say she wasn't tired, but seeing Liu Chang'an's unyielding tone, she had no choice but to sit down with Zhu Juntang.

Zhu Juntang was still covering her face with her hands, peeking at the coffin behind her through her fingers. After Qin Yanan sat down, she ran over and snuggled into Qin Yanan's arms, acting coquettishly. "Yaya, let's go back tomorrow. Let Liu Chang'an take this thing back himself. I'm scared."

"I have to go to work tomorrow, don't worry. It's not like one of those coffins used to bury dead people in a cemetery. This is a treasure... a treasure... a treasure." Qin Yanan was glad she didn't say the word "treasure," she couldn't bear to look at that word anymore.

Hearing Qin Yanan say this, Zhu Juntang suddenly realized that it was probably a large box shaped like a coffin. Zhu Juntang was only afraid of coffins containing dead people or zombies. If there was nothing inside, then it was nothing.

But since Zhu Juntang had already successfully taken Qin Yanan's embrace, she naturally nestled comfortably against Qin Yanan's chest and refused to get down.

Qin Yanan ignored her, turned the chair next to her around, put her legs up on it, and lay down. With her current physical condition, she had no problem hugging such a cute little fairy who loved to rub against her chest. The events of tonight occupied her mind and she needed to slowly sort them out and recall them.

"Liu Chang'an, I hate you so much," Zhu Juntang said comfortably.

"Same to you."

"Pah, you're even more annoying."

"Same to you."

Anyway, I hate you more than you hate me.

"Fine, you win."

Zhu Juntang, somewhat bored, asked again, "We've been running around all night for this coffin. What kind of treasure is it?"

Qin Yanan's ears turned slightly red, and she kept her eyes closed without saying a word.

"Don't you know? Every sect has its most prized treasure, and this coffin is the most prized treasure of our Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Sword Sect." Driving is a boring thing.

"That sounds really impressive."

"Our Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Sword Sect is a sect with an ancient heritage, which can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty. We have a royal background... To be precise, one of the emperors at that time was our sect's ancestor."

"You're talking nonsense. The Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Sword Sect was only established last month."

"Forget it, I'm not talking to you anymore, you wouldn't believe me anyway."

"Go on, I don't believe you can talk like that."

"I won't say."

"You said..." Zhu Juntang raised her leg, put her foot behind the driver's seat and rubbed it against Liu Chang'an, intending to kick him.

Liu Chang'an first smelled a warm, skin-warm fragrance, then immediately raised his phone.

Zhu Juntang was startled and quickly pulled her foot back, becoming obedient.

As dawn broke, Liu Chang'an drove back to Junsha and took Qin Yanan and Zhu Juntang to the top of Mount Lu. Qin Yanan was in good spirits and even made breakfast for Liu Chang'an. Zhu Juntang was picked up by Zhong Qing, who was waiting at the top of Lushan Mount Lu. She kept saying that she needed to catch up on her sleep, and that she would become imperfect if she didn't get at least eight hours of sleep every day.

Having arranged to meet Qin Yanan at school, Liu Chang'an drove the armored off-road vehicle back to the residential area.

While even small animals like Zhou Dongdong were still awake and hopping around in the neighborhood, Chang'an dismantled the door to the downstairs room, smashed down two rows of bricks, and finally had enough width to carry the coffin into the room and reposition it.

Liu Chang'an temporarily put the door panel upstairs and went upstairs to his room to get a bag of cement and a trowel.

He poured out a pile of cement powder, poked a hole in the middle, poured in water and stirred it slowly. Then Liu Chang'an used a trowel to scrape the cement back onto the wall.

With the door installed, the job was done. Liu Chang'an also took the opportunity to tidy up the power strip hanging down from upstairs. He closed the door, sat on his bed, and decided that this was a more private and convenient place to talk with Shangguan Dandan.

"This is my home, do you want to come out?" Liu Chang'an said to Shangguan Dandan.

"Not coming out."

"If you don't want to come out, then don't." Liu Chang'an said casually. "From now on, the door will be closed. You can come out when you want, or stay in the coffin if you don't. Once you're out, you can get used to this cramped environment. There are many things here that you haven't seen in over two thousand years. Take your time."

After Liu Chang'an finished speaking, he pointed to the socket, "You can charge your baby here."

Stepping out of his house, Liu Chang'an glanced at the armored off-road vehicle and sent a message to Zhong Qing, asking her to find someone to drive it back. There was no need to contact Zhu Juntang about this; Xiao Xiannv had already handed it over to Zhong Qing to handle.

Liu Chang'an hoped that things could be quieter during this time. Thinking of Professor Crick, he felt a pang of emotion. This scientist, who made the greatest contribution to the history of 20th-century biology, had abandoned the traditional path of scientific research and no longer wanted to explore the origin and foundation of life. Instead, he chose to become Mrs. Karnstein's partner... or just a subordinate.

Now that I'm restarting my unfinished research, how far can I go? After the discovery of the DNA double helix structure, when will another discovery truly reveal the origins of life?

Liu Chang'an simply wanted to know more; this was the purest form of scientific exploration, not an attempt to gain any benefit or influence through these things.

Liu Chang'an looked up at the sky, then looked down and posted a message on his WeChat Moments: "Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the universe was vast and boundless, the sun and moon waxed and waned, the stars and constellations were arrayed, cold came and heat went, autumn harvested and winter stored, leap years were completed, and the musical scales harmonized the seasons."

After a brief moment of reflection, Liu Chang'an composed himself. Countless years had passed like this; he should live peacefully, even until the end of the entire universe would be a kind of satisfaction.

Zhou Dongdong leaned against Liu Chang'an, stood on tiptoe, and stuffed a packet of soy milk into Liu Chang'an's mouth.

Liu Chang'an lowered his head and bit the soy milk bag.

"Brother Chang'an, I have a good friend at school. She brought lots of delicious food to school yesterday, and we hid and ate it," Zhou Dongdong said with a hint of worry in her voice.

"Oh, two little pigs."

"But I also want to bring her something delicious to eat at school. What should I bring?" Zhou Dongdong was in a dilemma.

Spicy strips?

"She can't eat anything from the convenience store; she says she gets diarrhea if she secretly eats it."

"Isn't life incomplete without spicy snacks?"

"Could I bring her a bowl of rice noodles to school?" Zhou Dongdong thought and thought that was the only option, since her family sold rice noodles.

"You're a genius."

Zhou Dongdong immediately felt clever and brave, and planned to run upstairs to ask her mother to help her make rice noodles, but Liu Chang'an grabbed her and pulled her back by the collar.

"Let's go, I'll get you some candy." Liu Chang'an gave Zhou Dongdong a little finger to hold and led her away from the neighborhood.

Sorry, my Chirp is damaged. It will grow back when I update with a long chapter of 10,000 words.
