Speaking of which, Zhou Yue was also among the first group of employees to join Celestial Fortune.

"That’s good." Qin Yun nodded, smiling as he said, "Brother Xiaotao, it’s almost New Year, I hope I can drink at your wedding banquet."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaotao scratched his head and said, "There’s no rush for that, is there? Getting it done before the New Year seems too soon; we’ll see what Yue thinks."

It’s been less than two months since he and Zhou Yue confirmed their relationship, and even by New Year’s, it would only be about three months.

Qin Yun smiled and didn’t say much more.

...

Another day quickly passed. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

In the morning, Qin Yun went to see Yu Leyao; after being apart for several days, they surely needed to have some quality time together.

It hadn’t been long since Yu Leyao’s parents came back before they left again. However, after they left, her mother secretly left behind the bank card with ten million US Dollars, which Yu Leyao discovered only after they were gone.

"What do you plan to do with this money?" Qin Yun asked.

"Just leave it there." Yu Leyao shook her head, helplessly saying, "I’ll give it back to them when they return."

She didn’t want to spend Yu Jiancheng’s money at all.

"By the way, Qin Yun, how’s it going in the western mountains?"

After talking about some of her own affairs, Yu Leyao asked Qin Yun, "I heard you previously mentioned that you sponsored two little girls."

"Yes."

Qin Yun nodded, giving a brief explanation.

They were eating at this time, and it was already past eleven o’clock, getting close to noon.

Finally, as the time thoroughly reached this moment, Qin Yun suddenly felt very tired and yawned.

Seeing this, Yu Leyao laughed and said, "Qin Yun, didn’t you sleep well last night?"

Qin Yun nodded and said, "A bit."

Suddenly, he thought to himself, "Is this... sloth from the Seven Deadly Sins?"

In fact, Qin Yun was quite diligent, getting up every morning to go for a run, then heading to the company to handle affairs, going to school when time allowed, or meeting Yu Leyao.

He had also been busy in the western mountain area for several days, rarely allowing himself to relax, like going on a trip for a few days, playing for a few days, etc.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a bit tired and just wanted to rest well for a while.

After dinner, Qin Yun returned home, back to the villa by Yang Lake that he bought.

Upon returning, Qin Yun lay down on the sofa.

"Qin Yun, you aren’t catching a cold, are you?" Yu Leyao clearly noticed something was off with Qin Yun and couldn’t help but ask.

"It’s nothing, just a little sleepy." Qin Yun shook his head.

Bzz...

Just then, his phone rang; it was Qin Xiaotao calling.

"President Qin, the people from Xingyang Group will be at the company at 1:10 PM," Qin Xiaotao reported over the phone.

Yesterday, Qin Yun mentioned meeting with the people from Xingyang Group.

But hearing Qin Xiaotao’s report now, Qin Yun didn’t feel like going to the company and directly said, "Brother Xiaotao, you go and handle the reception; I won’t be going."

Apparently sensing the fatigue in Qin Yun’s voice, Qin Xiaotao quickly asked, "Yun, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, just didn’t sleep well last night." Qin Yun shook his head.

After saying a few words, he hung up the phone.

"Leyao, it’s fine, I just need a nap." Looking at the worried Yu Leyao beside him, Qin Yun smiled and said.

Pride is expressed through words and looks, while sloth might seem less than pride, but truly slothful people show even more.

Too lazy to work, too lazy to think, even too lazy to move.

There’s a joke that goes like this: there was a piece of bread by a man’s bed, close enough to reach, but because he was too lazy, he wouldn’t even reach for it, and in the end, he starved to death.

Faced with a threatening knife, too lazy to dodge.

These are the supreme realms of sloth.

At this moment, although Qin Yun’s state was nowhere near that level, he was still too lazy to do anything.

There were so many things in the company he didn’t feel like managing at all. With Zhao Tianqiang, Qin Xiaotao, and others around, he usually handled the main direction, and even if he let go, the company wouldn’t fall into chaos.

So he didn’t want to bother with it now.

The matters concerning the school canteen in the western mountains were fully managed by Lin Yueshan; he didn’t want to deal with that either.

At this moment, all Qin Yun wanted was to lay at home for a few days, think about nothing; how comfortable that would be!

"Leyao, I’m a bit sleepy, so I’ll take a nap first." Qin Yun yawned again and said.

"Qin Yun, let me take your temperature. If you have a fever, I should take you to the hospital to get it checked." Yu Leyao, having never seen Qin Yun in his current condition, was very concerned as she spoke.

"Alright."

Qin Yun nodded, after which Yu Leyao went to find a thermometer and returned to his side once she found it.

At this moment, Qin Yun had his eyes closed and was even lightly snoring.

Yu Leyao didn’t wake him but still took his temperature.

"Normal temperature."

Seeing the reading on the thermometer, Yu Leyao exhaled slightly in relief, but upon seeing Qin Yun’s state, she still couldn’t help but worry.

After thinking for a bit, Yu Leyao made a phone call, and then she stayed by Qin Yun’s side, accompanying him.

...

Sloth, in reality, is something everyone has, but everyone also has things they must do and things they don’t have to do.

For a student, going to school is a must-do, so in the early morning, they can temporarily suppress their sloth, get up to eat, and then go to school.

The same goes for working people.

But for Qin Yun, there was nothing he must do.

At the company, others are responsible for things. Even if he doesn’t go, things wouldn’t go wrong. At the school, he goes if he feels like it.

Most people worry about money, waking up early every day, not daring to pause, busy until late at night. Qin Yun doesn’t lack money; the money he earns can last a lifetime.

In a way, Qin Yun has no restrictions.

Now, he can completely live a lying-flat life until he grows old.

This causes the negative emotion of sloth to have a relatively strong impact on Qin Yun.

Qin Yun just felt he slept very comfortably, and by the time he woke up, it was already a bit dark outside.

"Yun, you’re awake?"

In the villa, Qin Yun’s second sister, Qin Lu, hurried over.

Earlier, Yu Leyao called her and explained some of Qin Yun’s situation, prompting her to rush over.

However, after checking carefully, Qin Yun was not running a fever. His sleep was normal, and there were no issues with his breathing.

From the kitchen came a clear sound of activity, and Yu Leyao emerged with a dish.

Seeing Qin Yun, she exclaimed joyfully, "Qin Yun, I was just about to call you for dinner!"

She worriedly asked, "How are you feeling now?"

"I’m fine." Qin Yun glanced at his phone, noticing it was already past five o’clock, which meant he had slept for over five hours.

"Come eat now."

Yu Leyao placed the last dish on the table and said.

Qin Yun struggled a little, as if the sofa had a seal that made him not want to get up.

But he still had to eat, so Qin Yun dragged his feet to finish dinner, then returned to the sofa and lay down again.

Yu Leyao: "..."

Qin Lu: "..."
