The next day, when Feng Qingyi woke up, she didn't feel any substantial physical change, but it was as if she had more energy than before.
After washing and getting dressed, Feng Qingyi decided to go downstairs to a noodle shop for a bowl of noodles.
When she arrived at the noodle shop, Feng Qingyi ordered a bowl of beef noodles and slowly began to eat.
It was at this moment that an elderly grandma sat down across from her, her hair white and her eyes vacant.
"Young lady, have you seen a yellow little dog, wearing a yellow little bell? It hasn't been home for two days."
"It's been with me for so many years, I can't be without it..."
Feng Qingyi felt a tinge of regret, "I'm sorry, I haven't seen it."
As soon as she finished speaking, her phone vibrated.
Side quest issued: To uphold the traditional virtues of respecting the elderly and loving the young, please help the old lady find her missing dog. Completing the task will earn you 20 points.
This side quest was truly indescribable. First it was picking up litter, now it was finding a dog. This place was so big, where would she even start looking?
"Grandma, do you have a photo of your little dog?"
Upon hearing this, the old lady took out a photo of herself and her dog from her pocket.
Feng Qingyi took a look, "Grandma, let me take a picture of this, and I'll help you look for it later."
"Thank you so much, young lady!" The old lady stood up, "You take the picture, and if you find it, come to this shop and let me know."
Feng Qingyi nodded, "Okay, let me ask you one more thing, where does your dog usually like to go?"
"Oh, I usually only take it for walks around this area, it hasn't been anywhere else."
After taking the photo and learning about the dog's typical activity area, Feng Qingyi decided to help look around the area after finishing her meal.
Along the morning streets, the steaming food stalls, the hurried passersby, all filled with the air of the human world's smoke and fire.
Feng Qingyi slowly looked left and right, not to mention a dog, she didn't even see the shadow of a pet.
Thinking that she now had a photo of the grandmother and the dog, she might as well post a missing dog notice with a hefty reward, which should be more useful than aimlessly wandering around here by herself.
No sooner said than done, Feng Qingyi found a print shop and printed a stack of missing dog notices, then began handing them out along the street.
However, not many flyers were handed out before there were already quite a few littered on the ground, and Feng Qingyi had to pick them all up.
"Feng Qingyi, is that you? What are you doing here?"
Speak of the devil, she ran into an acquaintance again.
Feng Qingyi turned to look, it was her high school classmate Mu Yanyi, the two of them had been at odds since the first year of high school.
"Isn't this the Jing University prodigy? How did you end up handing out flyers here?"
Feng Qingyi didn't respond, and directly handed her a flyer, "Don't be sarcastic, have you seen this dog?"
Mu Yanyi looked at it, "I actually have seen it, why don't you beg me a little, and I'll take you to find it."
"...How childish of you!"
"Who's being childish, do you still want to find the dog or not?" Mu Yanyi seemed a little offended.
Feng Qingyi sighed, "If you've seen it, just tell me where, if you haven't, then don't disturb me, I'm doing something important here!"
"A few days ago, weren't you picking up litter on this street?" Mu Yanyi suddenly brought up.
Feng Qingyi was stunned, she only picked up some litter, how did it become common knowledge?
"How did you know about that?"
Mu Yanyi smiled and took out her phone, opening her friend's circle, "Look, Lao Ban posted a high-definition photo, even praising you, telling us all to learn from you!"
"I'm telling you, aren't you too idle these days? Why don't I take you to get a part-time job, you probably can't make much money picking up litter..."
Feng Qingyi interrupted Mu Yanyi before she could continue.
"Right now I need to find the dog, if you know where it is, then hurry up and tell me, if you don't know, then leave, don't hinder me, okay?"
"Also, I remember that you and I didn't have a very good relationship, you saying all this to me makes me think you have ulterior motives."
Mu Yanyi looked at the flyer again, "I think I saw this dog near my place last night, there are a lot of stray dogs and cats over there, I'll go with you to take a look."
"Didn't you always look down on me? What's with you today."
In the past, whenever the two of them met, although it never escalated to physical fights, getting along peacefully was certainly out of the question.
Although they were classmates, they were practically enemies.
Mu Yanyi smiled, "We were young and reckless back then, but now you could say we've seen the world, I won't hold anything against you anymore."
"What do you mean you won't hold anything against me, wasn't it you who started it in the first place?"
She generally didn't go looking for trouble, but if others came knocking, she wouldn't back down either.
"You knew I liked Mo Changan in high school, but you still got so close to him, he even rejected my confession, saying he liked girls like you."
"Later I heard that he confessed to you too but you rejected him, I felt relieved, so I let it go."
Feng Qingyi racked her brain trying to recall.
"You liked Mo Changan?"
Seeing Feng Qingyi's surprise, Mu Yanyi said, "You really didn't know?"
"You never told me, how would I know?"
"I made it so obvious, you really didn't know, are you blind?"
Mu Yanyi suddenly felt that her antagonizing this girl throughout high school was a bit unwarranted, she was just an idiot.
"Didn't you like Xi Siyuan?" Feng Qingyi only knew that her best friend had mentioned to her that Mu Yanyi seemed to have a bit of a thing for Xi Siyuan.
Mu Yanyi rolled her eyes.
"That was just a smokescreen, whatever, I won't talk to you about these things anymore, even if I did, you wouldn't understand."
"I already have a boyfriend now, much more handsome than Mo Changan, and he's a college stud who's also gentle with me."
"As for you, no need to ask, you definitely don't have a boyfriend, what a waste of that pretty face of yours. Just around the corner is where I saw that dog last night, you can slowly look for it yourself."
Feng Qingyi gratefully said, "Thanks for your help today."
"Alright, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you, can you pay a little more attention to your appearance? You're dressed just like a village auntie, I've never seen you look so unsophisticated before."
"Too lazy to talk to you anymore, I'm going home, wouldn't want this sunshine to ruin my fair complexion."
With that, Mu Yanyi walked into a nearby residential area.
Feng Qingyi looked at herself, a T-shirt paired with jeans, which should not look too casual!
Never mind, forget about her, finding the dog was more important now.
Feng Qingyi glanced around and noticed a dog barking not far away, so she cautiously walked over.
Upon approaching, Feng Qingyi saw a yellow dog tied to a tree, struggling vigorously.
This dog was nearly identical to the one in the photo, so Feng Qingyi approached and untied the rope.
The moment the rope was untied, the yellow dog dashed fiercely to the side, and Feng Qingyi had no choice but to hold onto the rope and follow it.
