city ​​charmer

After staying here for two or three days, Bai Ye helped Grandpa Bai tidy up the study and studio. Grandpa Bai never said why he called Bai Ye back, and Bai Ye didn't ask. Qiao Lingqi thought it was a trip, and he wished to stay longer In the past two days, he has been getting close to Bai Ye a lot, and of course he doesn't rush to ask.

After tidying up all the books, paintings, etc., and putting them in large and small cloth bags, Grandpa Bai called Bai Ye upstairs by himself.

Grandpa Bai pointed to those cloth bags and said calmly, "Burn them all."

"Huh?" Bai Ye froze on the spot, looking at Grandpa Bai in disbelief. These books and paintings are the painstaking efforts of Grandpa Bai all his life. In the past, Bai Ye would have his legs broken if he touched them. Such precious things need to be taken at once. Burn them all?

"Grandpa...Grandpa, are you okay?"

Bai Ye waved his hand in front of Grandpa Bai, thinking to himself, could it be that Grandpa has a seizure again?

"My brain is fine!" Grandpa Bai seemed to have heard Bai Ye's heart, and raised his eyes to give him a look.

"Cough, cough, hahaha," Bai Ye laughed dryly, feeling a little embarrassed to be exposed, and scratched his head, "These things are good, why burn them? Even if you don't like it, you can just move it downstairs. , why is it going to burn all of a sudden?"

"No, it's all burned." Grandpa Bai insisted.

Bai Ye raised his head and looked at Grandpa Bai, "Is it sure to be burned?"

Bai Ye kept a smile on his face, but his heart was exploding: Why did it burn!According to the usual routine, the elderly grandpa decided to stay away from the world of mortals, shouldn't he pass all his treasures to his grandson me!Why is it still burning? !Grandpa, I won't take you to play like this!Am I your grandson!Just beat me up when I was young, why don't you leave me some inheritance!Many of these paintings are antiques!They sell for a lot of money!Books are also very valuable!What is the fuss?

However, on the bright side, Bai Ye remained indifferent, "Don't keep any more? Burn them all?"

Grandpa Bai nodded, his attitude was strict and he could not be criticized. "Well, it's all burned."

"Okay, Grandpa." Bai Ye nodded obediently, and reached out to grab the cloth bags.

Although there was a smile on his face, Bai Ye's heart was bleeding, his heart was trembling, and he was about to cry. Since he was a child, he knew that his grandfather was a charmer, and he wanted to read these books and paintings, but his grandfather didn't Let him touch it, and now it's going to be packed and burned, how can Bai Ye not feel bad!

"Little Ye,"

Grandpa Bai called Bai Ye, and Bai Ye raised his head to look at Grandpa Bai with respect in his eyes.

"Our Bai family is indeed an ancestral family of charmers. You have known this since you were a child, and I have never concealed it from you. I also know that you are interested in these books, but Xiaoye, I don't intend to let you inherit the mantle, charmers. Cut it off in my lifetime, that's why I asked you to come back and burn these. Xiaoye, do you understand how grandpa did this? You..."

"Grandpa, I know, I can do it, I don't have any ambitions, I don't like to be horny, I just want to live in peace."

Bai Ye was the first to speak his own words. He looked at Grandpa Bai with sincerity in his eyes.

Why does Grandpa Bai occasionally suffer from mental illness, and how did Bai Ye's parents die?He has never asked Grandpa Bai about these things, but Bai Ye knows that it must have something to do with Grandpa Bai's identity as a charmer. He may have struggled with it before, but now, he cares less and less about it. I want to live a free and easy life. After living with Qiao Ling, I just want to eat what he cooks and don't care about anything else.

Grandpa Bai was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Bai Ye to be so calm. He smiled slightly and patted Bai Ye's shoulder, "Well, good boy."

When Bai Ye went downstairs carrying the cloth bag, Grandpa Bai pursed his lips, "Xiao Ye, I have ignored you these years, you have grown up very well."

Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Grandpa Bai, "That's right, I'm a tough guy!" Laughing impertinently.

The fire was finally lit.

Qiao Lingxi helped Bai Ye move these cloth bags to the yard, and piled them under the jujube tree. Grandpa Bai watched from the window on the second floor, watching Bai Ye light these books and paintings, and the black smoke flowed down the big jujube tree. Jujube trees shoot up.

"It's all burned?" Qiao Lingqi, who was standing beside her, pursed her lips.

"That's right, what can we do if it doesn't burn, the old man can watch by the window."

Bai Ye shook his teeth, and threw a painting from the Qing Dynasty into the fire, "It's so burned that it's a painting, and it's all printed with Chairman Mao's RMB!"

Taking another painting, Bai Ye glanced at it. The girl in the painting is so cute. It disappeared after a while when it was thrown into the fire. Cut off halfway.

"Is this a spirit stone necklace?"

This painting is a portrait of a woman, wearing a splendid cheongsam from the Republic of China period, with silver hair swaying in the wind in the dark night, with golden horns on her head, and her clear blue eyes, looking at In the distance, there was a necklace hanging around his neck. The milky yellow halo was the Lingshi necklace.

"Well, it's the Lingshi Necklace." Bai Ye turned his head to look at it and nodded.

"Why is this painting so familiar?" Qiao Lingqi pursed her lips.

Bai Ye looked indifferent, "Of course I'm familiar with it, I've seen this painting several times."

"What? Where have you seen it before?" Qiao Lingqi looked at Bai Ye.

"The first time the two of us met, I went to Ancheng only after seeing a photo of this painting passed by my employer, but I stumbled across the real thing."

When he saw Mei for the first time, Bai Ye was really terrified, and regretted that his intestines broke, he shouldn't have earned this money, and he even picked up a husband.Turning to look at Qiao Lingxi, bah!It's a daughter-in-law.

"Oh, by the way, I saw it in Yunqing's fortune-telling shop. At that time, I seemed to have fallen into the basement under the shop. I seemed to have seen this painting on the wall."

Qiao Lingxi frowned slightly, looking down at the painting, how could it feel familiar, he had never seen this painting before.

"Can I keep this painting?" Qiao Lingqi turned to look at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye twitched the corner of his mouth, looked back, and met Grandpa Bai's eyes, "Ahem, cough, wait until the old man takes off his reading glasses."

Looking at Bai Ye's bright eyes, Qiao Lingqi pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay."

Didn't Bai Ye deliberately plot against his old man, ran all the way back, and watched these things burn in his hands?You have to get one anyway, it's enough money. Since Qiao Lingqi likes it, Bai Ye should pay for the meal. After all, Qiao Lingqi's cooking is really delicious.

"This will be your meal money for the rest of your life." Bai Ye raised his eyebrows.

"Meal money?" Qiao Lingxi didn't realize what it meant at first, but smiled slightly after thinking about it, "Are you confessing your love? Let me cook for you for the rest of your life?"

Bai Ye raised his eyes and glanced at him, then smiled teasingly, "No, this is obviously renting you, a nanny cook who gets paid to cook."

"Nanny and cook?" Qiao Lingqi pursed her lips, "Then I don't want it." Qiao Lingqi threw the painting to Bai Ye, making a gesture to throw it into the fire.

Bai Ye, however, acted as if he saw through him, and didn't stop him. He let him throw the painting into the fire, but a certain person was reluctant to throw it away, and his hand stopped in mid-air. The corner of Bai Ye's mouth overflowed with a joking smile. Son, honestly be my little cook for the rest of my life."

Qiao Lingqi held the painting, looked up at Bai Ye's playful expression, and suddenly put his arms around his waist, "Okay, I'll be your little cook, and you will be my gourmet food."

I cook for you and you let me eat you.

Bai Ye, who understood what Qiao Lingqi was saying, blushed and kicked him on the knee, "My old man is still watching from behind, be more honest!"

"It's okay, the old man doesn't wear reading glasses." Qiao Lingxi frowned.

"You're still shameless!" Pushing Qiao Lingxi away.

"No."

"Are you so straightforward now?" Bai Ye was surprised.

"Yes." Qiao Lingxi replied.

"Depend on!"

Shameless people are invincible!Bai Ye understood Qiao Lingqi's shameless skills!

The two big men were laughing and playing around the jujube tree like children. In the end, Bai Ye was forced by Qiao Lingqi and almost climbed onto the jujube tree.Bai Ye hooked a branch with both hands, lifted his feet slightly and exerted force on his waist, then hooked his feet on another thicker branch, and sat on it.

When I was young, I often climbed jujube trees. At that time, I was not as easy as I am now, and I often fell from the tree. How can I sit so securely on the branches now.

"Joe~ I dreamed that I was hanging on this jujube tree and almost fell, but you caught me from below."

Bai Ye looked down at Qiao Lingqi under the tree. When he was tied up by Chuyang's uncle Wen Zhijing, he had indeed had such a dream.

Qiao Lingxi smiled slightly and opened his arms, "No matter where you hang, I will stand below to catch you, and no matter what danger you encounter, I will save you."

"Huh~" Bai Ye twitched the corner of his mouth, "Where did you learn these sour words?"

Qiao Lingqi raised her eyes and looked into Bai Ye's eyes, "I'm serious."

Bai Ye didn't believe it, but seeing Qiao Lingxi's seriousness, he was too embarrassed to hit him, so he nodded, "Well, although the possibility of this is almost zero, but in case something bad happens to me someday You better show up in front of me immediately to save my life." After all, Bai Ye cherishes his life the most!

Qiao Lingxi nodded heavily, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Of course!"

Bai Ye broke a tree branch and threw it on his face, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

It was a very warm and beautiful scene. The young man with downcast eyes sitting on the tree looked at and smiled at the tall man with his head up under the tree. This beauty was disturbed by the sudden ringtone of the mobile phone. Qiao Lingxi looked down at the mobile phone. Zhong Yi's name flashed on the screen. Before he came, he had told Zhong Yi not to disturb him if there was nothing serious. Could something have happened?

Qiao Lingxi frowned, picked up the phone, "What's wrong?"

A hurried voice came from the other side, "Boss, something happened on Miracle's side."

"What happened!?" Qiao Lingxi was surprised.

Something really happened.
