The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 284 - 261: I’m the Patient (Part 3)

I raised an eyebrow, thinking to myself, before Qinghan knew me, he was the Little Prince of the Ancient Tomb. Acting separately from me would only be safer for him, so what am I worried about?

"What are you afraid of? Are the zongzi from Sakura tougher than ours?"

"That’s... of course not, ours are definitely tougher. Oh, what I’m talking about is his temporary partner!"

"What, is she someone untrustworthy?"

"Not exactly... "

"Then there’s no problem."

"But I’ve heard she’s a super beauty, goddess level, very popular, and she’s always admired Qinghan. She just never had a chance to work with him before. Now that they’re forming a team alone, we can’t be too careful!"

They were all fooled by appearances, mistakenly thinking that Qinghan and I were a couple. Explaining would only be covering up, so I took out my phone and said, ’That’s right, I’m supervising him,’ while typing out a message to Qinghan: Quickly find an auspicious day to announce that our relationship has broken beyond repair, like not even superglue can fix.

"Texting isn’t enough. An everyday video call is needed, in the evening. Who knows if that woman will seize an opportunity to invite Qinghan to watch the stars or the moon?"

"Hey... let them watch. It’s just stars. What’s watching UFOs going to do? I have faith in him."

"There’s no doubt about Qinghan, he never flirts. But he can’t stop others from flirting with him!"

"Don’t worry about it, I’ve got it under control." He’s just destined to be a lone star. Sigh, poor guy.

These days, I’ve had a lot of contact with Baozi and Ke’er. They’re total fangirls of Qinghan. If those women who fancy him are the ’wifey fans,’ then the two of them are the ’sister fans.’

Honestly, Qinghan is quite a decent guy, at least reliable. But women fancying him happens way too often—it’s a bit exaggerated, honestly not too normal. Maybe he’s truly influenced by some power, and that power’s tool is lard, and every woman attracted to him has been lard-blinded!

If this ’magic’ isn’t broken, keeping close guard won’t work, but saying this to Baozi would only confuse her more.

It wasn’t long after sending the message that Qinghan sent back a picture. Baozi, sharp-eyed, saw it and insisted on viewing it.

I cautioned her about driving, so she parked to the side of the road. I had no choice but to give her a look. It was a ’group photo’ of Qinghan and a woman at the airport.

The photo was a selfie by the woman, with Qinghan sitting behind her, looking down at his phone.

"Ah—" Baozi exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"What is it, a car crash?" Shunfeng asked, sitting up half-awake.

"Nope, just stopping for a rest." I waved him off, signaling him to continue sleeping.

"Look at that, pretty bold, what does it mean? It’s blatant provocation, no, it’s a declaration of war!"

Next, the photo was posted in the work group chat; someone teased that the goddess finally got a shot with her god, mentioning how they ship the good-looking pair together. Someone else said that Qinghan has a fiancée and warned them off making those jokes, tagging me.

Now I knew why celebrities often kept silent. Because at moments like this, nothing said would be fitting.

Qinghan only left two words under the photo: Reporting.

He let me see it before the beauty publicized it. Is this what you call reporting? Isn’t it more a sneak peek? At most, it just gave me a little taste of paid membership joy.

"So annoying, what’s so great about it? Qinghan wasn’t even looking at the camera, it was clearly a sneak shot, hmph!"

"Alright, it’s just a photo, isn’t it? Take some yourself when he gets back, two hundred okay?"

"No way, I wouldn’t take a picture with him—it’s so annoying, everyone says he looks like my dad."

"Puhahaha—" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Stop laughing!"

Though she said annoying, she kept the photo. While refueling, she took it out to show me.

It was taken at her middle school graduation ceremony. She was quite young, baby-faced with chubby cheeks, short in stature, looking more like an elementary school kid.

Qinghan was dressed very formally, with glasses, hair impeccably groomed, mature, handsome, tall, serious, and rigid. He genuinely looked like a strict father. Baozi was grinning so much her eyes disappeared, like a happy little daughter.

"Parents were needed at school events... they took turns coming..." Baozi stared at the sky, without a hint of sadness in her voice.

"Let me guess, Professor Chen was the strict dad, the Captain the loving mom?"

"Haha, yes. Qinghan had really high expectations. If I wanted to slack off, I’d go to the Captain to act cute~"

Although Qinghan’s leader had adopted Baozi, he himself was quite busy at the time. Baozi grew up in the department, being cared for by whoever was available. The Captain had been at the workplace for a long time, so at the start, he took care of Baozi more often, and she felt most at ease with him.

Qinghan joined later, but wherever he was, his legend followed. Gradually, people in the department got to know him, and Baozi saw him as a lone hero figure, always wanting to go on adventures with him.
