The kind of pampering in Gu Lang's tone made Chen Xing feel embarrassed. He raised his eyes to the man sitting behind the desk.
I saw that Gu Lang was looking at him with a tolerant face at this time, as if he was an ignorant child. This association made his ears red and hot.
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing with gentle eyes, and even the tone of his words was exceptionally gentle, "Why do you have such thoughts?"
Listening to Gu Lang's question, Chen Xing began to feel a little uncomfortable, squeaking for a long time, and finally said his thoughts, "I just want to ask."
As for why he wanted to ask, Chen Xing himself couldn't say why. Maybe it was in a hidden corner of his heart. He wanted to know the answer so persistently, just to see if he had a special presence in Gu Lang's heart, special enough to make Gu Lang ignore his original principles.
.Chen Xing's heart was beating, watching Gu Lang in front of him stand up and walked in front of him step by step.
"Since you want to know, then I'll tell you." Gu Lang paused, his tone of voice extremely cautious.
"I didn't tell people around me about my likes and dislikes before, because it was a very dangerous thing." The danger is so dangerous that he will die if he is not careful.
"But now, I can tell you without reservation." Because you are special.
"What I told you, what I like, and what I don't like are all true." Because of these, I don't have to deceive you.
"I haven't lied to you." Except for some things you don't need to know.
"So, don't be unhappy." Don't show such an expression.
Chen Xing missed a beat, feeling the warmth of Gu Lang falling on his head. .He raised his eyes to look at him, and directly ran into the gentleness in Gu Lang's eyes.
In that gentle gaze, Chen Xing heard himself softly replied, "Yeah."
Afterwards, Chen Xing saw the man in front of him who was half a head taller than him, and slowly laughed. The slightly pale face gradually showed a smile, like a gorgeous flower suddenly appeared on a dry desert. He couldn't move his eyes anymore.
Gu Lang looked at the obsession that gradually emerged in Chen Xing's eyes, and the smile on the corners of his lips grew. He was very satisfied with Chen Xing's current performance.
"In the future, if you have any questions, just ask me directly. As long as the person asking is you, I will tell you."
This was the last sentence Chen Xing remembered in his mind.
.It was not until Chen Xing returned to the kitchen and stood on the edge of the stove that he suddenly recovered, grabbed the carrot on the table and yelled, "Ah—"
Chen Xing felt that he must have been stupid just now. Not only did he stare at Gu Lang stupidly for a long time, but he even came back without hearing what Gu Lang said at the end. He didn't know what he said later or how Gu Lang answered, but he was sure that his performance at the time must be utterly stupid.
Chen Xing was immersed in the condemnation of himself, and did not notice Qiu Jiu who wanted to come in at the door. The moment he stepped in, he suddenly retracted his feet after seeing his behavior.
Qiu Jiu stared at Chen Xing, who didn't know what was going on inside the door, and saw him clutching his hair frantically. The expression on his face was very subtle, and he didn't understand what happened during the time he went to rest.
.Qiu Jiu hesitated for a while, but still withdrew the foot that was about to step in. He should come to help later.
Chen Xing was upset for a while, and finally calmed down, staring at the fresh food in front of him, forcing himself to forget the embarrassment just now and concentrate on cooking.
However, when Chen Xing saw the big white radish on the table, he still couldn't help thinking of Gu Lang, and his face started to flush again.
Although Chen Xing was a little out of shape today, it did not delay his cooking speed. Half an hour later, he prepared the two dishes and one soup for lunch today.
When Chen Xing saw Gu Lang sitting at the table waiting for the meal, he thought of the scene where he was embarrassed in front of Gu Lang, and his ears were quietly red.
Fortunately, Gu Lang didn't have any special performance, everything seemed to be normal, and Chen Xing gradually calmed down.
.As soon as he sat down, Chen Xing recommended to Gu Lang, "I made tofu soup with eggs today. You can taste it. It tastes good."
After Chen Xing finished speaking, he took Gu Lang's bowl and filled him with half a bowl.
Gu Lang thanked Chen Xing, took a sip, raised his eyes and smiled at him, sincerely praised: "It's delicious, not salty, it tastes just right."
Chen Xing immediately smiled like a kitten that had stolen a fish, with happiness written all over his face.
Qiu Jiu sat aside in silence and watched Chen Xing keep adding vegetables to his son, and his son sincerely praised Chen Xing's cooking skills after tasting them, and then Chen Xing's face was smiled again.
Qiu Jiu felt that there was an unspeakable atmosphere between the two of them, and there was no room for him to intervene.
.After a meal, several people enjoyed it very much, especially when Chen Xing saw that Gu Lang really likes to eat what he made, he couldn't hide the happiness on his face.
Gu Lang looked at him happy, and then showed a soft smile.
Chen Xing's good mood lasted until the next day when he went out of the stall.
When Chen Xing and Qiu Jiu went to the stall talking and laughing, they were immediately stunned when they saw the state of the stall.
I saw the shed that had been built originally, and the curtains on both sides seemed to have been cut with a knife, and looked tattered. And the tables, chairs and benches in the shed are piled up in a mess. It can be clearly seen that most of them are missing arms and legs, and the middle of the table has been cut and left empty.
Chen Xing had been out for so long and had never encountered such a thing, and for a while, he still couldn't react.
.However, Qiu Jiu was not as good-tempered as Chen Xing. The moment he saw the destruction of those things, his eyes immediately became cold, and his whole body also exuded a wave of hostility. Who was so courageous to destroy this place when they were away?
After a moment of stun, Chen Xing reacted quickly, pursing his lips, and greeted Qiu Jiudao next to him: "Let's clean up this place first, and then find a way to check what happened when the things are sold out."
Qiu Jiu, who was still angry, quickly calmed down after hearing Chen Xing's words, and nodded at him as he agreed.
After saying this, Chen Xing first walked into the shed that was ruined by people and began to clean it up a little bit. During the cleaning, he even began to rejoice that the damage was not serious and could still be repaired. Yes, otherwise he will spend a lot of money again.
.While Chen Xing sighed while packing up with Qiu Jiu, a team of officials walked in their direction not far away.
When Chen Xing saw these uninvited officials, a vigilant look subconsciously appeared on his face.
The leader of the team tried to squeeze a smile and tried to make himself look kind. He looked at Chen Xing and asked, "Are you the owner of this stall?"
Chen Xing nodded hesitantly, seeing that he didn't seem to be here to find fault.
When the team leader saw Chen Xing's answer, the smile on his face became brighter, and his tone was a little inviting: "When we were patrolling last night, we saw someone hit your stall, so we arrested all those people. NS."
When Chen Xing listened to him, he felt a little unbelievable. He was still annoying who had broken his stall just now, but now he heard that those people had been arrested.
.The team leader looked at Chen Xing in shock, and continued: "Those people are in jail now, do you want to check it out?"
Chen Xing felt that the team leader seemed a little too diligent, and he didn't know if the ancient officials were so loyal to their duties. He cautiously asked, "Can I go and see it?"
Hearing Chen Xing's question, the team leader slapped and exclaimed, "Of course you can go and see!"
After finishing speaking, under Chen Xing's suspicious eyes, the team leader also seemed to realize that his behavior was a bit too diligent. He coughed and his tone became a little colder, "As a victim, you can naturally go and watch. "
Chen Xing hesitated, and almost nodded at the official in front of him. He also wanted to know who had an antagonism with him, and actually treated his stall like this.
.When Chen Xing and Qiu Jiu came to the place where the prisoner was being held, he saw a man in his early forties standing at the door of the prison.
The leading official trot over and whispered in the man's ear, then Chen Xing saw the man's gaze sweeping around him and Qiu Jiu.
Soon, the man walked over in stride and looked at Chen Xingke and said politely: "I am the master here, Xu Ya."
Hearing his position, Chen Xing was surprised at the same time but still a little cautious, and whispered to him: "Master Xu, hello."
Master Xu looked at Chen Xing's restraint, and didn't know what he thought of, and showed him a kind smile, and said, "The son is here to see the prisoner? Please come with me."
Chen Xing nodded and followed behind him into the cell.
.As soon as he entered, Chen Xing felt a chill, and couldn't help shivering.
After the master arrived in front of a cell and looked at the four bloody people lying inside, he was even more shocked.
The master looked at Chen Xing with wide eyes in horror, smiled comfortingly at him, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, son, this injury just looks serious, but it's just some fleshy injuries."
Chen Xing pursed his mouth and said nothing.
The master saw that he didn't answer and was not angry, and continued: "These four people were captured on the spot when you smashed your booth yesterday. What does the young master want to do?"
Chen Xing hesitated, looked at him and asked a little hesitantly: "How did you deal with it in the past?"
.The master touched his short beard, and said unpredictably: "In the past, we all ordered them to lose money and were locked in jail for ten days. But if the son has other ideas, we can do it too. cooperative."
When Chen Xing heard the second half of his sentence, he subconsciously felt that they just wanted to bribe them. He shook his head quickly and said directly: "Just follow your rules! They have been beaten like this, and they have not been chased. The need for reluctance."
The master obviously didn't expect him to say this. After Chen Xing finished speaking, there was a moment of stun on his face, but he quickly returned to normal, but his expression was still a little suspicious, "Okay, since the son wants to do this. , Then we will do as the son said."
.Just when the master was about to invite Chen Xing out, Chen Xing suddenly thought of something and hesitated to ask: "Can I ask them some questions?"
Master Xu smiled at him, "Of course."
Until Chen Xing came out of the cell, he felt that the people in this yamen were too polite, and even promised him that he would send it to him after he received the compensation.
Chen Xing looked back at the tall Yamen plaque, and whispered to Qiu Jiu who was next to him, "Are the officials here loving the people like children?"
Hearing Chen Xing's question, Qiu Jiu turned to look at Chen Xing, who was full of confusion, with mixed feelings in his heart, and finally looked at him and said, "The new county magistrate is a good official."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xing nodded and agreed: "He can teach all the officials under his hand so well, and he is indeed a good official."
.But soon, Chen Xing began to worry about another thing, that is, from those gangsters who couldn't say clearly, he knew why they were going to smash his stall, and he also knew who it was. Instruct them to do it.
It's just that Chen Xing hadn't heard of that person at all, and didn't know what was going on between herself and that person, and she didn't understand why she did that. And the most important point, he now knows who did it, so what to do in the future is also a question.
Chen Xing entangled all the way back to the small stall. As a result, he saw a group of people around the stall. Among them, there were a few familiar faces. They were all diners who came to him to buy things on weekdays.
Seeing them all waiting at the door of the stall, Chen Xing quickened his pace.
.When those people watched Chen Xing come over, the grand lady in the front line shouted loudly, "Little boss, why are you here so late today?"
Hearing this familiar loud voice, Chen Xing knew that the visitor was Mrs. Sheng, who often came to him to buy food. He repeatedly said, "Sorry, I was delayed for a while because of something."
The grand lady Sheng opened her voice when she heard what he said, "We have been waiting for you here for so long, and you have to make more arrangements for us later."
Chen Xing feels that although Auntie Sheng loves to take advantage of her daily life, she is not bad, so after hearing her remarks, she replied with a good temper: "Okay, I will call you more today. ."
.After Chen Xing’s promise, a big smile appeared on the face of the grand lady, but she soon looked at the ruined tables, chairs and benches behind Chen Xing, and she couldn’t help but exclaimed, “Boss, you What's going on in this shed?"
Chen Xing handed her the things that Mrs. Sheng wanted, and said helplessly: "It's that way as soon as I come here. I haven't had time to clean it up, making you laugh."
The grandmother Sheng looked at the good-tempered Chen Xing, patted her thigh, and complained for him: "Oh, someone must have seen you have a good business, so he jealously made trouble. Don't worry, there are so many of us, we must I'll catch you who got it, and help you get justice back."
.Chen Xing looked at Auntie Sheng's indignant look, but felt that she was a bit cute at this time. He looked at her and smiled, and said softly, "I haven't been here for long. I don't have the skills of Auntie, so I can only trouble Auntie. is you."
Hearing Chen Xing’s compliment, the grandmother Sheng seemed to have won a fight. She stood out and said with high morale: "You don’t want to see who I am. Don’t worry, boss, I’ll give it to you. Find out who moved your stall."
However, Da Niang Sheng’s generosity only lasted for a few seconds, and she quickly revealed her usual shrewd look. She looked at Chen Xing and said, "Then I will help you find someone. When I come to buy things in the future, you must give more I'll hit a little bit!"
Chen Xing looked at her as if she didn't forget to take advantage of doing good deeds, and she was a little bit dumbfounded, "Madam, don't worry! I'll take care of you when that happens."
.Hearing this, Mrs. Sheng finally left with the bowl contentedly.
Chen Xing was not as depressed as he had been after Da Niang's confession. He quickly adjusted his state and worked hard to sell out all the ingredients today.
When the last thing was sold, Chen Xing closed the stall and watched Qiu Jiu hesitate, but still made up his mind: "Qiu Jiu, let's not go back now. You accompany me to a place first."
Qiu Jiu was a little unsure, but looking at the cautious expression on Chen Xing's face, he nodded and agreed, "Okay."
A quarter of an hour later, Qiu Jiu looked at the small restaurant opposite, and wondered what they were doing this time.
Sure enough, when Qiu Jiu turned to look at Chen Xing next to him, he took a deep breath, then put on a serious expression, and strode towards the restaurant.
.Boss Qiao, who was still smiling at the door of the store, had a cold face as soon as he saw Chen Xing, and even his eyes became sharp.
"What are you doing here? We don't welcome you here."
Faced with the irony of Qiao’s boss, Chen Xing didn’t care very much, and even chuckled softly, with a bit of laziness in his tone.
"Oh, you open the door to do business here, and there is no reason for not welcoming guests? You don't have a few guests left here, and you have to drive people out. Are you still doing business?"
Hearing Chen Xing's sarcasm, Boss Qiao's face became harder to look, and the look in his eyes seemed to be poisoned.
.Chen Xing didn't seem to see her expression of eating people, walked slowly in front of her, stared at her ugly face, and snorted, "Boss Joe doesn't know, why did I do this time? come on?"
Hearing what Chen Xing said, and looking at this brother who was not the same as she had previously known, Boss Qiao subconsciously took a step back and insisted: "What are you talking about here? I just said it. , We do not welcome you here, you can get out of here now."
Chen Xing watched her tilted her head slightly, and asked in a naive tone: "Don't you want to know that the four people you called yesterday are there now?"
A little panic appeared in boss Qiao’s eyes, and the high cold breath that had been maintained on his face broke a little bit. He stared at Chen Xing and said unsteadily, “You, what are you talking about, I don’t know at all.”
.Chen Xing looked at the panicked woman in front of him and continued: "They are all locked up in jail now. When I went to see them, they were beaten to blood."
When talking about this, Chen Xing seemed to have thought of something funny, and even a strange brilliance appeared on his face.
The way Boss Qiao looked at him, the indifference on his face gradually became unstretched, and he sternly asked Chen Xing, "What do you want to do?"
Chen Xing watched her curl her lips, a bit tough appeared on that beautiful face, took a step towards boss Joe, and said coldly: "I'm here just to tell you, I know you do it. What happened."
The woman's eyes were full of panic.
Chen Xing continued: "I also have the ability to do something to you, especially now when you don't have any backers."
.The woman suddenly looked up, her eyes full of disbelief when she looked at him.
Chen Xing raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Believe it or not, this will not happen again. If there is another one, I don't think I will let you go so easily."
Chen Xing turned around and left without waiting for her next reaction.
Boss Qiao stared at the back of Chen Xing's departure, and squeezed the handkerchief in his hand, with a look of horror on her face. How could she not know that Chen Xing had such a relationship behind.
Then I remembered that when she went to see Chen Xing that day, the officials who followed the line obediently, and the thugs who were arrested on the spot yesterday, she was still a little bit apprehensive. She even began to rejoice that Chen Xing only knew that she had asked her to smash her stall, but did not know other things.
.Boss Qiao stared in the direction where Chen Xing was leaving, a little annoyed at why she provoke Chen Xing because of jealousy. If he hated her and came to trouble her later, she couldn't handle it at all. No, she has to think of a way.
Without knowing what he said, Boss Joe instantly became like an ant on a hot pot. After Chen Xing straightened his waist and walked out of this street, he immediately looked like a frustrated ball. He relaxed, and let out a long sigh, "It was really dangerous just now!"
Looking at the difference between Chen Xing and before, Qiu Jiu asked a little hesitantly: "Chen Xing?"
Chen Xing turned his head to look at Qiu Jiu, his face faded away from the sharpness he had just now, and he turned back to the gentle brother of the day. He looked at Qiu Jiu with bright eyes and asked, "How do you think I behaved just now?"
.Qiu Jiu went inside a little unclear, but he nodded honestly, and praised: "Very well, I look stupid."
Hearing Qiu Jiu's words, Chen Xing touched his head a little embarrassedly, and said shyly: "That's good, I'm also afraid that I just failed."
Qiu Jiu looked at him with a strange tone, "You just..."
Chen Xing looked at him with a bright smile, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and said enthusiastically: "I pretended it!"
Qiu Jiu's gaze was very complicated, and he didn't expect Chen Xing to be such a Chen Xing.
Chen Xing seemed to be immersed in the success just now. He was so excited that he couldn't stop. When he was about to reach Gu Mansion, he suddenly thought of something. He looked at Qiu Jiudao, who looked strangely beside him:
"When you go back, don't tell Gu Lang about this! He is in poor health, and these things will scare him."
.Qiu Jiu looked at the innocent expression on Chen Xing's face, endured for a long time, and finally suffocated a word, "Yeah."
The author has something to say: Qiu Jiu: I often have internal injuries because I know too much.
