I'm super delicate
Chapter 52
The black Rolls-Royce body was covered with rainwater, and the tree trunks not far away were also covered with wet spots. Xi Changlin's eyes closed silently, and he had to give up the idea of finding a place to lean against.
He took two steps forward, kicked up a piece of fine gravel lying on the ground, and watched it make an arc in the night, and finally fell into the puddle across the road, splashing quite a bit.
Xi Changlin repeated this action, kicked at least seven or eight stones into the puddle, then raised his hand and continued, "Did you see that ginkgo tree? There is a stone table under it. My grandfather used to often Taught me to play the piano there. At that time, I didn’t like guqin because the sound was too simple and the introductory music was boring and had no melody. Keshu was in a daze, and when he was done, he told me what happened to your mother back then. I knew he was very sad, so in order not to make him more sad, I had no choice but to endure the thought of running out to play and learn."
The young man kept telling He Chi about his past affairs, all of which were trivial and trivial, jumping up and down a lot. Obviously, the last sentence was still in the summer when he was five years old, but the following sentence came out to him when he was eight years old. In autumn, I probably said whatever came to mind.
He Chi stood beside him and listened quietly. Emi took out something from the trunk of the car, put it together a little, and it became a simple chair.
"Sit for a while?" When Xi Changlin finished speaking and stopped talking, He Chi raised his chin to the side.
Xi Changlin let out a "poof" laugh, "Chichi, you are spoiling the atmosphere like this."
"Because I know someone doesn't like standing up." He Chi said.
"Forget it, I didn't come out to cool off and eat melons and fruits. It's strange to sit on the side of the road like this." Xi Changlin shook his head, kicked away the last stone at his feet, returned to the car, opened the door and sat in.
Emi had to take the chair back down and put it away.
"Actually, I have always had a problem." Xi Changlin threw off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the back seat, and stuffed a new salted fish that no one had ever held in his arms. After Emi got into the driver's seat, he said , "After your system uses props to become a human, is the physiological function the same as that of a human?"
Emi glanced at Xi Changlin in the rearview mirror and answered him: "No, we are just bionics. Although we have similar appearance, skin, bones and internal organs to human beings, we cannot be called human beings. We are injured. Bleeding, but not dying; similarly, humans need three meals a day to maintain their physiological functions, and need sleep, but we don’t.”
Xi Changlin let out a "huh", "Then what do you eat? Engine oil?"
"We don't need to eat."
"It's really good to feed..."
"But our life is limited. If a major accident occurs, such as brain death, heart loss, excessive bleeding, this body will come to an end."
"Oh, that means your limits are the same as those of normal humans." Xi Changlin suddenly realized.
He Chi beside him smiled softly and helped him straighten the flip-flops on the soles of his feet.The pair of fair feet on the leather sofa were stained a lot, He Chi stared at them for a while and asked, "Do you want me to wipe them clean for you?"
Xi Changlin immediately raised his foot, and rubbed He Chi's trousers again and again. When he was clean, he said, "Thank you."
He Chi shrugged, and replied "You're welcome".
The Rolls-Royce galloped out of the night, and Xi Changlin dug out a Kindle in the car. After checking out He Chi's hot spot, he took a stroll in the Amazon Kindle mall and bought a suspense novel.
As soon as the first page was turned, the system popped up. Although the voice was calm, it was not difficult to hear the excitement hidden in it: "Boss, are you thinking about my future?"
"Do I look like the kind of person who has money to buy you props for the last position on the last page of the mall?" Xi Changlin answered him indifferently.
"Oh, yes, you are so poor." The system glanced at Xi Changlin's account balance, sinking in disappointment.
Xi Changlin snorted lightly, swiped his finger, and turned to the second page of the novel.
When they came near the hotel, it happened that the crew was finishing the night show and the staff were walking on the road in twos and threes, tired and happy, making appointments where to have supper.
Emi received Xi Changlin's order and stopped the car far away.
"I also kind of want to eat supper." The young man turned to He Chi and said.
Without looking up, He Chi replied to the email and asked, "Porridge or milk?"
Xi Changlin: "..."
"With your old man's health-preserving appearance, I don't think it's possible for the two of us. Goodbye." Xi Changlin glared at He Chi, stepped into his flip flops, and made a gesture to get out of the car and take a break.
"Okay, crayfish or grilled chicken wings." He Chi grabbed the young man's wrist helplessly, "But it can't be too spicy, it's not good for your stomach."
"Crayfish and cold beer."
"Just beer."
Xi Changlin half-closed his eyes.
"Okay... Beer is fine, but it can't be iced." He Chi backed down.
Xi Changlin nodded, raised his hand and poked He Chi's head randomly, and said with a smile, "Mr. Lu Xun once said that if you want to open a window in a house, you'd better propose that you want to remove the roof first." Now, when you put forward the request you really want, others will agree—the concession effect.”
This time it was He Chi who stared blankly.
Against the pressure of his gaze, the young man closed the computer for him with a snap, opened the car door, and said, "I remember that there is a night market nearby, and there is a very good barbecue seafood restaurant in it, but I don't know if it is still there."
"What's your name?" He Chi asked, intending to let Emi search for it.
"I don't remember." Xi Changlin got out of the car, turned around with a smile, and said seriously, "Generally, locals don't remember the name of the shop when they go out for supper, right? What we remember is the location and location."
"Yes, yes, you are right." He Chi nodded blindly.
He Chi asked Emi to drive the car back to the hotel, and walked slowly on the long street after the rain with Xi Changlin.
The air is filled with the pleasant fragrance of flowers and green grass. The road, walls, and branches and leaves of trees are soaked in the color of water. The lights on both sides of the street are not bright, and there is only one light at a distance. Uneven, heavy water, and moss.
The smell of the old street is very strong.
"The temperature difference between day and night here is huge." Xi Changlin walked in front of He Chi with his hands behind his back. After looking up at the night sky for a while, he suddenly said, "During the day, this accumulated water may dry up in about ten minutes, but it won't work at night, probably. It can be kept until two or three in the middle of the night.
When I was young... well, it should be before air conditioning was popularized. In summer, as long as it rained at night, I would secretly go outside the house with a mat and sleep on the cool and watery ground, but usually As a result, he was picked up within 3 minutes after lying down, and then he was brutally beaten. "
He Chi laughed: "It seems that you don't remember to eat or beat, it's a habit you've developed since childhood."
"You don't remember to eat or beat." Xi Changlin made a gesture to turn around and kick him, but this is an old road, and there has been heavy rain, stones, turf, and stagnant water are everywhere, and these things will fly with a little force Get up, think about the consequences, and have to give up.
"Okay, let's put it another way, I didn't expect your skin to be developed from a young age." He Chi immediately changed his words and walked up to him, "Then how did you cool off after you were beaten? It can't be Move ice cubes into the bedroom?"
"I really want to, even want to chop myself up and put it in the refrigerator."
He Chi: "..."
Xi Changlin felt that He Chi's expression was a little funny, so he reached out and poked his cheek, "It was Grandpa who helped me shake the fan while I was sleeping."
The pace of the two became slower and slower, halfway there, Xi Changlin couldn't help yawning, He Chi asked him if he wanted to go back to sleep, but was rejected.
Back to the place where he lived for more than ten years, Xi Changlin is a little relaxed about memories, but also a little persistent.
He didn't really intend to taste the taste he liked before, but just wanted to see if the store was still there, to see if the boss and the proprietress were living their lives as noisy as before, and whether their children were still sitting in the store writing For homework, if I encounter something I don’t understand, I will hold the homework book and ask those middle school students who come to eat.
He Chi hooked Xi Changlin's finger while Xi Changlin wasn't paying attention, and stopped before the man turned his head to stare at him, "You said before that the purpose of learning guqin is to not make grandpa feel sad, so what about pipa?"
"Pipa..." Xi Changlin was in a daze for a moment. He turned his head to look at He Chi for a moment, then turned to look at a tree with a crooked neck on the side of the road. Erhu, Guzheng, Sanxian, Xiao, flute...it’s like the on-demand machine, any kind of music can be played.”
Xi Changlin's memory of his mother, Xi Chun, is really vague. He only remembers that when he was very young, a gentle and soft person sat beside him and played the piano for a long time in order to coax him to eat. Almost all the instruments were changed. The last one is Pipa.
When Xichun stopped, Xi Changlin remembered that she said: "Mom is also very tired, baby and mother have dinner together, okay?"
He didn't remember whether he said yes at that time, or he pushed the bowl away nonsense and didn't listen to persuasion at all, but if time could be repeated, back to 20 years ago, he would definitely say to that woman, "Okay, let's eat together ".If possible, he would like to have dinner with that woman for decades to come.
But if there is no if, God's gift, there will be no second time.
Where He Chi could not see, Xi Changlin's dark eyes showed a hint of sadness, but in the blink of an eye, the sadness dissipated and returned to a light smile.
"Why did you come to Ninghai City back then?" Xi Changlin asked He Chi.
The man snorted, "I thought you would never ask this question in your life."
Xi Changlin rolled his eyes: "It's fine if you don't say anything."
After thinking for a moment, He Chi whispered about the past: "Six years ago, I was 22 years old. At that time, my grandfather had expressed his intention to pass on the position to me directly, so my father became murderous and took action. There was a portion of the power in the city that my grandfather and mother had left that I could use at the time, so I fled here and plotted a counterattack."
"It must have been very difficult and dangerous for you to come here." Xi Changlin said with emotion.
"More than that, when I got here and met the people who came to meet me, I almost died." He Chi draped the coat that had been hanging in his arms over Xi Changlin, pressed his shoulder, and raised his finger to point in one direction.
"It's over there, there is a rose manor there. Not long after I came to Ninghai City, someone sent a document saying that my mother left me an equipment box there and buried it under the second statue in District D The document had my mother's real signature, and the equipment box was real, but it was a hoax.
At that time, there was a construction site next to Rose Manor, and they wanted to cover up the noise and shoot me there.But my father was stupid because he made the deception too realistic. I took out the gun from the equipment box first, and sniped the people who were in ambush. "
He Chi understated a thrilling experience, as if he was telling a non-painful story.Life and death are unimportant, only to catch the person in front of you is the most urgent desire.
After hearing this, Xi Changlin raised his eyebrows, walked to the side of the road, picked off a branch that was broken by the wind but was still hanging on the tree, then shook off the water drops, and reached out to touch the flowers that bloomed on it.
"Before you met me or after?" he asked.
"After that." He Chi replied.
Once a person no longer has reservations about another person, once a person starts to be curious about another person, it probably means that he has already taken him to heart.
Xi Changlin's actions and words were like this, but he didn't realize it.He rolled his eyes, gave a soft "huh", picked the flowers, wiped off the water drops, and put them on He Chi's bow tie, then patted the man on the shoulder, and said with a light smile, "I will reward you with a little flower."
He Chi looked down at the flower, and said with a smile, "Only reward flowers?"
"Pat the head again, I'll treat the crayfish and beer later." Xi Changlin pretended to be serious.
"It's really sincere." He Chi snorted, grabbed the man's wrist, and continued walking forward.
Turning the corner of the street, there is a bright light ahead, and the aroma of food fills the nostrils, fresh and spicy, which makes people appetite.
He Chi didn't care about the haute couture clothes on his body, and stepped into the dirty and greasy night market street together with Xi Changlin.
The barbecue seafood restaurant where Xi Changlin used to be a frequent customer was not closed. After the heavy rain, the number of people going out to enjoy the shade increased greatly at night. Even at eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, the business was still booming.
Xi Changlin stood by and watched for a while, then pulled He Chi to the other side.
"There are too many people. By the time we get to the queue, it may be already twelve o'clock." The young man whispered.
He Chi was very pleased: "Then shall we go back now?"
"No." Xi Changlin refused completely, "There is another delicious restaurant here."
"What's delicious?" He Chi raised his eyebrows.
"You didn't hear it?"
"I just smelled a foul stench."
Xi Changlin gave a "tsk", looked He Chi up and down with cold eyes, then raised his finger to the signboard of this store, and said, "It stinks of a hammer, this is a mysterious recipe from Liuzhou, Guangzhou, the famous snail powder the taste of!"
He Chi: "..." I have really admired your name for a long time.
Although he was not looking forward to it very much, after meeting Xi Changlin, he changed from a wise king to a foolish king. He smiled for Bomei, and there was nothing he couldn't do.
After saying "Let's go", the two entered the store side by side.
The advantage of snail noodles is that the cooking process is simple and convenient, and the operation is like an assembly line. The soup base has already been prepared. Depending on the degree of spiciness, you can take different depths of soup.
Another advantage of snail noodles is that He Chi has never eaten it, so he doesn't know how spicy it is.
Xi Changlin's food preference is spicy, and he usually chooses spicy or heavy spicy, but this time, he told the clerk without changing his expression that he wanted medium spicy.
This choice was heard by He Chi, and he thought that this person was well-behaved once in a century, and felt relieved again.
——until his share of spicy food was put in front of him.
Mr. He, who lives a healthy life, pays attention to health preservation, and seldom eats heavy oil, salt and chili food, was immediately red-eyed.
Xi Changlin took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks, slowly picked up a piece of crispy bean curd stick and ate it, and then said softly: "Chichi, this is my choice, don't waste food, you know the money for your supper, the kids in the mountain area It can last for several days."
After speaking, he passed a bottle of vinegar to the opposite side, "If you think it's spicy, add vinegar. If it's really not good, let's have another bottle of iced Coke."
Iced Coke is impossible, not only that, not even Coke.
He Chi added vinegar to his bowl three times before he managed to finish the vermicelli in the bowl.He was surprised that the stuff tasted good.
After leaving the snail noodle shop, both of them smelled bad. Xi Changlin squeezed towards He Chi with a smile and asked, "Do you want another stinky tofu? Although it is not as authentic as Changsha stinky tofu, the taste is still good." good."
Due to the adaptability of his sense of smell, He Chi could no longer feel the smell of himself and Xi Changlin. This man " threw himself into his arms", so he simply hugged him, pinched his waist, and said, "I'll give it to you again." Buy a durian? Collect all the three smells in the world?"
Xi Changlin didn't care about the coolness in He Chi's words, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay."
He Chi laughed and cursed, "What a fart".
The stinky tofu and durian just fell apart, Xi Changlin fled from He Chi's arms, yawned, and walked back the way he came.
The wind became colder again, Xi Changlin shook his hands in his sleeves, turned his head away and sneezed.
He Chi immediately changed his position and stood diagonally in front of Xi Changlin to block the wind, "Shall I ask Emi to drive over?"
"Although people don't need to rest or eat, they can't be overused like this." Xi Changlin sniffed, stood up straight, and looked like it was no big deal.
"Then stand over here." He Chi opened his hand towards him.
Xi Changlin stepped back half a step, and said solemnly: "Chichi, in public, you should be reserved."
"Restrain and restrain, can't you restrain first and then restrain?" He Chi asked back.
youth:"……"
"Then let's go faster." Xi Changlin said with a flash of inspiration, "As long as we go fast, the wind will not be able to catch up with us. Just like the cargo ship full of potatoes sailing on the sea, as long as it goes fast enough , under the influence of the Sino-US trade war, the domestic tariff increase will not be received by it.”
"Girls are playing very well, baby." He Chi lowered his eyes, glanced at Xi Changlin without blinking, and spoke slowly.
"Where is it?" Xi Changlin clasped his fists modestly.
It was too late to say it, and before Xi Changlin could react, He Chi pulled him violently and ran forward with him.
Flip-flops were being stepped on the street. Although Xi Changlin's body was weak, but fortunately he would go to the gym to exercise every now and then, so when he quickly ran out of the night market street, he didn't seem too panting.But after running for a while, my body became much warmer.
He Chi slowed down and changed from running to walking. He smiled and looked at the person half a step behind. Just as he was about to say something, the phone in his coat pocket rang.
"It's Emi's call." Xi Changlin took out the phone, glanced at the screen, and handed it to He Chi.
The man picked it up and said "Hello", and the woman on the opposite side immediately said capable and concise words: "Sir, Jia Guoping just left the hotel."
Xi Changlin was standing beside him, and raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this sentence.
The relaxed atmosphere just now was shattered in an instant.
"Do you want me to follow?" Emi asked.
He Chi asked Xi Changlin with his eyes.
The latter laughed, shook his head and said, "No, I've been monitoring him."
It takes 10 minutes to walk from the night market street to the hotel. The walk back is no longer as leisurely as when he came back. Xi Changlin still had a smile on his face. While waiting in the elevator, he met a lady makeup artist who also came back from the night snack. And Miss Stylist, also said a few jokes.
At the same time, Jia Guoping came to a 24-hour convenience store two streets away.He took the last curry omurice from the freezer, paid for it, and gave it to the clerk to heat it up.
The convenience store only had two night shift clerks and Jia Guoping, who was waiting at a rest table facing the street. Three minutes later, there was a "ding" from the microwave oven, and he got up to pick it up. When he walked to the cashier, the second person The guest opens the door and enters.
"Welcome to drink and come—" The convenience store's electronic doorbell sensor automatically rang.
Jia Guoping raised his eyes to look at the man, his expression sank.
The rice balls and simple meals in the freezer were all sold out. The second customer walked around the store, and finally returned to the food window next to the cash register, and ordered a few strings of oden, a box of Bawang chicken strips, and a bottle of Yakult.
There were only two seats at the rest table in the convenience store, so he naturally sat next to Jia Guoping.
The clerk behind the cashier continued to watch the video on his mobile phone. The second customer took off the gold-rimmed glasses that were stained by the heat from the oden, gently wiped the water mist on them with his tie, and whispered: "I gave you a deposit earlier. , you accepted it but didn’t complete the task, why, you don’t want the rest of the balance?”
Jia Guoping tilted his hand that was poking the egg skin with a spoon, and a few drops of curry juice in the bowl splashed on his body. In order to hide his uneasy mood, he quickly took out a tissue and wiped off the curry, but he did not expect that after wiping it off, the whole body The front is all gone.
"It's easy to give birth to a child, but it's hard to raise a child. If you want your child to have good conditions, get rid of their peers, and become successful in the future, money is indispensable." The gold-rimmed glasses said quietly, "Mr. Jia doesn't understand this truth." ?"
"Of course I understand." Jia Guoping threw away the tissue and shouted in a low voice, "But I won't do things for you anymore, and I will return the previous money to you!"
After speaking, he took out a card from his wallet and pushed it to the gold-rimmed glasses.
"Password six six."
"Hey, do you still want to run orders?" Gold-rimmed glasses pretended to be surprised, "Do you know how I usually treat buyers who run orders?"
He left no room for Jia Guoping to answer at all, and continued on his own, "calling every day to harass, intimidate, and threaten is inferior, and I generally don't bother to do it. I prefer to use gentle methods, such as Kidnap your child, lock him up in a deserted mountain, and throw a few wolves outside the hut that have been hungry for half a month.
Of course, the hut was the hut where hunters used to live. It was fully equipped with sticks, knives and guns, but there was no dry food and water. "
Jia Guoping was so frightened that he gritted his teeth and couldn't make a sound. He knew that although the person in front of him had a gentle face, he did such things without blinking an eye.
His family's children didn't enter elementary school until this summer vacation. Throwing such a child into a hut surrounded by wolves, no, even an adult, is tantamount to sending him to death.
The agent's hands began to tremble, as did his legs, and the entire tabletop was shaken.
The gold-rimmed glasses pushed the card back, slowly ate a chicken strip, and then said again: "How about it? Let's continue to do things for us. After the work is done, we will not only end the payment, but also let you enter the BR. A promising newcomer, in this way, your child's growth environment will be guaranteed."
"In addition, the chicken strips are good. I see that your curry has no meat in it. Let's mix it in and eat it together. Curry without meat, how can it be considered curry?" After the gold-rimmed glasses finished speaking, he put the Bawang chicken strips on his hand. In front of Jia Guoping, get up and leave.
He took two steps forward, kicked up a piece of fine gravel lying on the ground, and watched it make an arc in the night, and finally fell into the puddle across the road, splashing quite a bit.
Xi Changlin repeated this action, kicked at least seven or eight stones into the puddle, then raised his hand and continued, "Did you see that ginkgo tree? There is a stone table under it. My grandfather used to often Taught me to play the piano there. At that time, I didn’t like guqin because the sound was too simple and the introductory music was boring and had no melody.

"Sit for a while?" When Xi Changlin finished speaking and stopped talking, He Chi raised his chin to the side.
Xi Changlin let out a "poof" laugh, "Chichi, you are spoiling the atmosphere like this."
"Because I know someone doesn't like standing up." He Chi said.
"Forget it, I didn't come out to cool off and eat melons and fruits. It's strange to sit on the side of the road like this." Xi Changlin shook his head, kicked away the last stone at his feet, returned to the car, opened the door and sat in.
Emi had to take the chair back down and put it away.
"Actually, I have always had a problem." Xi Changlin threw off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the back seat, and stuffed a new salted fish that no one had ever held in his arms. After Emi got into the driver's seat, he said , "After your system uses props to become a human, is the physiological function the same as that of a human?"

Xi Changlin immediately raised his foot, and rubbed He Chi's trousers again and again. When he was clean, he said, "Thank you."

"Crayfish and cold beer."
"Just beer."
Xi Changlin half-closed his eyes.

Against the pressure of his gaze, the young man closed the computer for him with a snap, opened the car door, and said, "I remember that there is a night market nearby, and there is a very good barbecue seafood restaurant in it, but I don't know if it is still there."
"What's your name?" He Chi asked, intending to let Emi search for it.
"I don't remember." Xi Changlin got out of the car, turned around with a smile, and said seriously, "Generally, locals don't remember the name of the shop when they go out for supper, right? What we remember is the location and location."

He Chi hooked Xi Changlin's finger while Xi Changlin wasn't paying attention, and stopped before the man turned his head to stare at him, "You said before that the purpose of learning guqin is to not make grandpa feel sad, so what about pipa?"
"Pipa..." Xi Changlin was in a daze for a moment. He turned his head to look at He Chi for a moment, then turned to look at a tree with a crooked neck on the side of the road. Erhu, Guzheng, Sanxian, Xiao, flute...it’s like the on-demand machine, any kind of music can be played.”
Xi Changlin's memory of his mother, Xi Chun, is really vague. He only remembers that when he was very young, a gentle and soft person sat beside him and played the piano for a long time in order to coax him to eat. Almost all the instruments were changed. The last one is Pipa.
When Xichun stopped, Xi Changlin remembered that she said: "Mom is also very tired, baby and mother have dinner together, okay?"
He didn't remember whether he said yes at that time, or he pushed the bowl away nonsense and didn't listen to persuasion at all, but if time could be repeated, back to 20 years ago, he would definitely say to that woman, "Okay, let's eat together ".If possible, he would like to have dinner with that woman for decades to come.
But if there is no if, God's gift, there will be no second time.
Where He Chi could not see, Xi Changlin's dark eyes showed a hint of sadness, but in the blink of an eye, the sadness dissipated and returned to a light smile.
"Why did you come to Ninghai City back then?" Xi Changlin asked He Chi.
The man snorted, "I thought you would never ask this question in your life."
Xi Changlin rolled his eyes: "It's fine if you don't say anything."
After thinking for a moment, He Chi whispered about the past: "Six years ago, I was 22 years old. At that time, my grandfather had expressed his intention to pass on the position to me directly, so my father became murderous and took action. There was a portion of the power in the city that my grandfather and mother had left that I could use at the time, so I fled here and plotted a counterattack."
"It must have been very difficult and dangerous for you to come here." Xi Changlin said with emotion.
"More than that, when I got here and met the people who came to meet me, I almost died." He Chi draped the coat that had been hanging in his arms over Xi Changlin, pressed his shoulder, and raised his finger to point in one direction.
"It's over there, there is a rose manor there. Not long after I came to Ninghai City, someone sent a document saying that my mother left me an equipment box there and buried it under the second statue in District D The document had my mother's real signature, and the equipment box was real, but it was a hoax.
At that time, there was a construction site next to Rose Manor, and they wanted to cover up the noise and shoot me there.But my father was stupid because he made the deception too realistic. I took out the gun from the equipment box first, and sniped the people who were in ambush. "
He Chi understated a thrilling experience, as if he was telling a non-painful story.Life and death are unimportant, only to catch the person in front of you is the most urgent desire.
After hearing this, Xi Changlin raised his eyebrows, walked to the side of the road, picked off a branch that was broken by the wind but was still hanging on the tree, then shook off the water drops, and reached out to touch the flowers that bloomed on it.
"Before you met me or after?" he asked.
"After that." He Chi replied.
Once a person no longer has reservations about another person, once a person starts to be curious about another person, it probably means that he has already taken him to heart.
Xi Changlin's actions and words were like this, but he didn't realize it.He rolled his eyes, gave a soft "huh", picked the flowers, wiped off the water drops, and put them on He Chi's bow tie, then patted the man on the shoulder, and said with a light smile, "I will reward you with a little flower."
He Chi looked down at the flower, and said with a smile, "Only reward flowers?"
"Pat the head again, I'll treat the crayfish and beer later." Xi Changlin pretended to be serious.
"It's really sincere." He Chi snorted, grabbed the man's wrist, and continued walking forward.
Turning the corner of the street, there is a bright light ahead, and the aroma of food fills the nostrils, fresh and spicy, which makes people appetite.
He Chi didn't care about the haute couture clothes on his body, and stepped into the dirty and greasy night market street together with Xi Changlin.
The barbecue seafood restaurant where Xi Changlin used to be a frequent customer was not closed. After the heavy rain, the number of people going out to enjoy the shade increased greatly at night. Even at eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, the business was still booming.
Xi Changlin stood by and watched for a while, then pulled He Chi to the other side.
"There are too many people. By the time we get to the queue, it may be already twelve o'clock." The young man whispered.
He Chi was very pleased: "Then shall we go back now?"
"No." Xi Changlin refused completely, "There is another delicious restaurant here."
"What's delicious?" He Chi raised his eyebrows.
"You didn't hear it?"
"I just smelled a foul stench."
Xi Changlin gave a "tsk", looked He Chi up and down with cold eyes, then raised his finger to the signboard of this store, and said, "It stinks of a hammer, this is a mysterious recipe from Liuzhou, Guangzhou, the famous snail powder the taste of!"
He Chi: "..." I have really admired your name for a long time.
Although he was not looking forward to it very much, after meeting Xi Changlin, he changed from a wise king to a foolish king. He smiled for Bomei, and there was nothing he couldn't do.
After saying "Let's go", the two entered the store side by side.
The advantage of snail noodles is that the cooking process is simple and convenient, and the operation is like an assembly line. The soup base has already been prepared. Depending on the degree of spiciness, you can take different depths of soup.
Another advantage of snail noodles is that He Chi has never eaten it, so he doesn't know how spicy it is.
Xi Changlin's food preference is spicy, and he usually chooses spicy or heavy spicy, but this time, he told the clerk without changing his expression that he wanted medium spicy.
This choice was heard by He Chi, and he thought that this person was well-behaved once in a century, and felt relieved again.
——until his share of spicy food was put in front of him.
Mr. He, who lives a healthy life, pays attention to health preservation, and seldom eats heavy oil, salt and chili food, was immediately red-eyed.
Xi Changlin took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks, slowly picked up a piece of crispy bean curd stick and ate it, and then said softly: "Chichi, this is my choice, don't waste food, you know the money for your supper, the kids in the mountain area It can last for several days."
After speaking, he passed a bottle of vinegar to the opposite side, "If you think it's spicy, add vinegar. If it's really not good, let's have another bottle of iced Coke."
Iced Coke is impossible, not only that, not even Coke.
He Chi added vinegar to his bowl three times before he managed to finish the vermicelli in the bowl.He was surprised that the stuff tasted good.
After leaving the snail noodle shop, both of them smelled bad. Xi Changlin squeezed towards He Chi with a smile and asked, "Do you want another stinky tofu? Although it is not as authentic as Changsha stinky tofu, the taste is still good." good."
Due to the adaptability of his sense of smell, He Chi could no longer feel the smell of himself and Xi Changlin. This man " threw himself into his arms", so he simply hugged him, pinched his waist, and said, "I'll give it to you again." Buy a durian? Collect all the three smells in the world?"
Xi Changlin didn't care about the coolness in He Chi's words, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay."
He Chi laughed and cursed, "What a fart".
The stinky tofu and durian just fell apart, Xi Changlin fled from He Chi's arms, yawned, and walked back the way he came.
The wind became colder again, Xi Changlin shook his hands in his sleeves, turned his head away and sneezed.
He Chi immediately changed his position and stood diagonally in front of Xi Changlin to block the wind, "Shall I ask Emi to drive over?"
"Although people don't need to rest or eat, they can't be overused like this." Xi Changlin sniffed, stood up straight, and looked like it was no big deal.
"Then stand over here." He Chi opened his hand towards him.
Xi Changlin stepped back half a step, and said solemnly: "Chichi, in public, you should be reserved."
"Restrain and restrain, can't you restrain first and then restrain?" He Chi asked back.
youth:"……"
"Then let's go faster." Xi Changlin said with a flash of inspiration, "As long as we go fast, the wind will not be able to catch up with us. Just like the cargo ship full of potatoes sailing on the sea, as long as it goes fast enough , under the influence of the Sino-US trade war, the domestic tariff increase will not be received by it.”
"Girls are playing very well, baby." He Chi lowered his eyes, glanced at Xi Changlin without blinking, and spoke slowly.
"Where is it?" Xi Changlin clasped his fists modestly.
It was too late to say it, and before Xi Changlin could react, He Chi pulled him violently and ran forward with him.
Flip-flops were being stepped on the street. Although Xi Changlin's body was weak, but fortunately he would go to the gym to exercise every now and then, so when he quickly ran out of the night market street, he didn't seem too panting.But after running for a while, my body became much warmer.
He Chi slowed down and changed from running to walking. He smiled and looked at the person half a step behind. Just as he was about to say something, the phone in his coat pocket rang.
"It's Emi's call." Xi Changlin took out the phone, glanced at the screen, and handed it to He Chi.
The man picked it up and said "Hello", and the woman on the opposite side immediately said capable and concise words: "Sir, Jia Guoping just left the hotel."
Xi Changlin was standing beside him, and raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this sentence.
The relaxed atmosphere just now was shattered in an instant.
"Do you want me to follow?" Emi asked.
He Chi asked Xi Changlin with his eyes.
The latter laughed, shook his head and said, "No, I've been monitoring him."
It takes 10 minutes to walk from the night market street to the hotel. The walk back is no longer as leisurely as when he came back. Xi Changlin still had a smile on his face. While waiting in the elevator, he met a lady makeup artist who also came back from the night snack. And Miss Stylist, also said a few jokes.
At the same time, Jia Guoping came to a 24-hour convenience store two streets away.He took the last curry omurice from the freezer, paid for it, and gave it to the clerk to heat it up.
The convenience store only had two night shift clerks and Jia Guoping, who was waiting at a rest table facing the street. Three minutes later, there was a "ding" from the microwave oven, and he got up to pick it up. When he walked to the cashier, the second person The guest opens the door and enters.
"Welcome to drink and come—" The convenience store's electronic doorbell sensor automatically rang.
Jia Guoping raised his eyes to look at the man, his expression sank.
The rice balls and simple meals in the freezer were all sold out. The second customer walked around the store, and finally returned to the food window next to the cash register, and ordered a few strings of oden, a box of Bawang chicken strips, and a bottle of Yakult.
There were only two seats at the rest table in the convenience store, so he naturally sat next to Jia Guoping.
The clerk behind the cashier continued to watch the video on his mobile phone. The second customer took off the gold-rimmed glasses that were stained by the heat from the oden, gently wiped the water mist on them with his tie, and whispered: "I gave you a deposit earlier. , you accepted it but didn’t complete the task, why, you don’t want the rest of the balance?”
Jia Guoping tilted his hand that was poking the egg skin with a spoon, and a few drops of curry juice in the bowl splashed on his body. In order to hide his uneasy mood, he quickly took out a tissue and wiped off the curry, but he did not expect that after wiping it off, the whole body The front is all gone.
"It's easy to give birth to a child, but it's hard to raise a child. If you want your child to have good conditions, get rid of their peers, and become successful in the future, money is indispensable." The gold-rimmed glasses said quietly, "Mr. Jia doesn't understand this truth." ?"
"Of course I understand." Jia Guoping threw away the tissue and shouted in a low voice, "But I won't do things for you anymore, and I will return the previous money to you!"
After speaking, he took out a card from his wallet and pushed it to the gold-rimmed glasses.
"Password six six."
"Hey, do you still want to run orders?" Gold-rimmed glasses pretended to be surprised, "Do you know how I usually treat buyers who run orders?"
He left no room for Jia Guoping to answer at all, and continued on his own, "calling every day to harass, intimidate, and threaten is inferior, and I generally don't bother to do it. I prefer to use gentle methods, such as Kidnap your child, lock him up in a deserted mountain, and throw a few wolves outside the hut that have been hungry for half a month.
Of course, the hut was the hut where hunters used to live. It was fully equipped with sticks, knives and guns, but there was no dry food and water. "
Jia Guoping was so frightened that he gritted his teeth and couldn't make a sound. He knew that although the person in front of him had a gentle face, he did such things without blinking an eye.
His family's children didn't enter elementary school until this summer vacation. Throwing such a child into a hut surrounded by wolves, no, even an adult, is tantamount to sending him to death.
The agent's hands began to tremble, as did his legs, and the entire tabletop was shaken.
The gold-rimmed glasses pushed the card back, slowly ate a chicken strip, and then said again: "How about it? Let's continue to do things for us. After the work is done, we will not only end the payment, but also let you enter the BR. A promising newcomer, in this way, your child's growth environment will be guaranteed."
"In addition, the chicken strips are good. I see that your curry has no meat in it. Let's mix it in and eat it together. Curry without meat, how can it be considered curry?" After the gold-rimmed glasses finished speaking, he put the Bawang chicken strips on his hand. In front of Jia Guoping, get up and leave.
