Atractylodes

Cheng Xi smiled and shaved Ban Xiyao's face, "That's what I fell in love with back then. Turning your face and denying people when you get angry is really killing me..."

Ban Xiyao pushed Cheng Xi away, and the veins on his brows trembled, "Will Mr. Shen in the mansion agree?"

Cheng Xi's face sank when he heard this, but he quickly recovered his smile and said, "What are you worried about him for? He is just an idler raised in my house. Now I spoil him. If I annoy him, he won't The same fate as everyone else?"

"Then I'll take the bulk of the money and give you 1000 taels first." Ban Xiyao was too lazy to listen to Cheng Xi's nonsense.

"1000 taels? Why is something like this?"

Ban Xiyao took out the blueprint from his pocket and handed it to Cheng Xi, on which were written the required materials, Cheng Xi really frowned, "Xuan Tie!?...You..."

Hearing that Ban Xiyao snatched back the blueprint from Cheng Xi, he folded it in half, "So you don't have any..."

"How come!" Cheng Xi raised his eyebrows, "If I don't have the whole Yangzhou City here, no one can get it. It's just that the drawing on your blueprint is definitely not for ordinary purposes, I'm a bit..."

"This is something for hunting. The son and brother of the imperial city asked someone to find me. If I hadn't lost my way now, I would definitely not agree to this request."

Cheng Xi smiled slightly, "So it's for hunting. People in the imperial city are more particular about what they use than ordinary people."

Ban Xiyao didn't comment.

Cheng Xi tentatively said, "I will send someone to handle this matter as soon as possible. You might as well...stay here with me first..."

Cheng Xi looked at Pan Xiyao's face and said quickly, "Don't get me wrong, it's not safe for you to live outside after all. If you meet someone who knows you, your plan will come to naught."

Ban Xiyao wanted to refuse, but he was afraid that Cheng Xi would become suspicious, so he agreed first, secretly hoping that Zuo Yi would not be so impatient.

Simply until the sun went down, everything was very peaceful.

……

At night, Ban Xiyao just lay down and was about to go to sleep, but he felt his body sinking suddenly. He subconsciously threw out the concealed weapon, raised his eyes and met Zuo Yi's resentful eyes, "Why are you here?"

"I can't take a look until you come back? I didn't expect you to live in someone's house so soon." Zuo Yi threw the hidden weapon in his hand on the ground, "Yes, I'm quite vigilant."

"you……"

"What's going on?"

"He has asked someone to do it, but it will probably take ten days and a half months."

Zuo Yi mumbled, "Did he treat you well?"

How could Ban Xiyao dare to say that Cheng Xi was messing with him, "No, not yet..."

Zuo Yi's eyes became deeper...

"Just...touched my hand..." Ban Xiyao said as lightly as possible, he was afraid that Zuo Yi couldn't help but kill Cheng Xi, and his efforts would be in vain.

However, Zuo Yi's complexion was still obviously ugly, and just about to explode, Pan Xiyao hurriedly went over and held Zuo Yi down, "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, otherwise tomorrow you will send someone to sneak into Cheng's mansion to protect me secretly?"

Zuo Yi narrowed his eyes, as if he thought the idea was feasible.

Pan Xiyao let go of Zuo Yi after hearing the words, "Okay? Let's go quickly when you're done, don't let anyone see you."

Zuo Yi looked down at his empty waist, he seemed a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say much, and disappeared in a flash.

……

The next day was sunny and cloudless.The flowers in the courtyard bloomed in clusters, competing for splendor and beauty.Ban Xiyao looked at the flowers in his eyes, but there was no romance in his heart, and his whole body was afraid of seeing Cheng Xi.

That guy is simply too difficult to deal with...

To Pan Xiyao's relief, Cheng Xi didn't appear in front of him all morning.He was sitting on a chair with his head propped up and just wanted to relax for a while, when he heard chattering noise outside!

"My lord, you can't enter here."

"What? There's still a place in the Cheng family that I can't enter?" A man's voice answered, his tone full of pampering, "Did that bastard Cheng Xi hide someone in there!"

"Young master, it's really not..."

"Slap!" The man slapped the servant on the face, but the servant still refused to give in.Pan Xiyao was disturbed to hear this, and felt that this matter had nothing to do with that servant, so he walked out, "Is there anything this young master wants from me?"

The moment Shen Jiangyue saw Ban Xiyao, she frowned. The man in front of her looked fresh and handsome, with lacquered eyes, but he was not ugly, but his appearance was still a bit worse than his. Moreover, the man's eyes shone coldly. Why? It really doesn't look like someone who will serve people.

Shen Jiangyue stretched her brows, and walked over curlyly, with hostility in her eyes, "Dare to ask your surname Gao, how can you live in my house?"

Ban Xiyao had expected such an event. "A sudden accident happened at home, and I have no one to rely on. It is estimated that I will be in Cheng's house for a few days."

While talking, there was another commotion outside the door, and Cheng Xi rushed in from the door, looking at Shen Jiangyue and Ban Xiyao who were in peace for the time being in surprise.

Shen Jiangyue gritted her silver teeth, "Since it's just a friend bothering you, why don't you dare tell me!"

Cheng Xi's eyes widened.

Ban Xiyao took over the words, "Young master may not like to hear what I say. Brother Cheng is afraid that you will misunderstand the relationship between us and us, and thus prevent me from living here, so he hides it from young master."

Shen Jiangyue's complexion changed, she turned her head to stare at Cheng Xi, her eyes were full of tenderness and anger.Ban Xiyao was secretly startled - he had never seen such a good-looking person even when he was angry, let alone a man.No wonder Cheng Xi wanted to pluck him the stars from the sky.

"Am I that stingy in your eyes!"

Just as Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief, his heart came into his throat again, and he hurriedly said, "Jiang Yue, I did not do this properly. I will tell you everything in the future..."

"In the future?" Shen Jiangyue hugged her chest and sneered, "How many times have you been in the future?" Then Shen Jiangyue shook her hair and walked out of the yard.

Cheng Xi turned around and gave Ban Xiyao a tangled look.Ban Xiyao said, "Brother Cheng, hurry up and chase after Young Master Shen."

Only then did Cheng Xi quickly catch up.

After such an incident, Ban Xiyao didn't see Cheng Xi for a whole day, and felt like a blessing in disguise.Even looking at the brilliant flowers blooming in the middle of the yard is not as annoying as before.

"Young master, would you like some snacks?" Just as he was in a daze, someone came over with a plate of snacks and asked.

Ban Xiyao shook his head, "No need."

"Does the young man want some tea?"

"Need not."

"That boy..."

Ban Xiyao was a little impatient, "Go down!"

That person: "I won't leave."

Pan Xiyao raised his head sharply, and saw Zuo Yi standing in front of him obsequiously holding a plate of snacks, wearing the clothes of a servant from the Cheng family, and the mole at the corner of his eye disappeared somehow, it looked... Much purer.His body completely concealed his sharpness, as if he had changed into a different person.

Zuo Yi curled his mouth, "Master, do you want some snacks?"

Pan Xiyao was frightened by Zuo Yi's flattering enthusiasm, and had goosebumps all over his body, "You... just put it there..."

He asked Zuo Yi to send someone to protect him, who asked him to come by himself!

"I just saw the look of the young master in a bad mood. I don't know what the young master is thinking?" Zuo Yi frowned, and Pan Xiyao didn't dare to look into Zuo Yi's eyes. For some reason, he felt a little guilty, and quickly picked up a cup of tea to drink He took a sip, "No... didn't think about anything."

"Master, are you thinking of your man?"

The teacup in Ban Xiyao's hand was unsteady and almost spilled all over him, he stared at Zuo Yi blushingly, unable to say a word in embarrassment.

A smile flashed across Zuo Yi's eyes, and he respectfully took the teacup in Ban Xiyao's hand, "If my lord is fine, I will leave first."

"and many more……"

Zuo Yi turned his head, "Is there anything else you want, Young Master?"

Ban Xiyao secretly clenched his fists and waved his hands in a disturbed manner, "It's okay."

Zuo Yi left the yard without turning his head when he heard the words.

Ban Xiyao was fine at first, but was upset by Zuo Yi all of a sudden, that guy didn't come to tease him, he felt as if a cat's paw was scratching him when he saw Zuo Yi left, but he still couldn't bear to call him Leave.

……

Cheng Xi came in the evening.After seeing Zuo Yi, Pan Xiyao felt a little more secure in his heart, and he was not as nervous as before.

As soon as Cheng Xi came, he said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I surprised you today. The one in our house... is too arrogant!"

Ban Xiyao put on a cold look, "Mr. Shen looks better than Pan An, seeing him today really makes Xiyao feel ashamed."

Hearing Ban Xiyao's tone, Cheng Xi thought he was angry, his expression froze, and he changed the subject and said, "I have prepared all the materials I need today, but it took me a lot of effort!"

"Oh?" Pan Xiyao was also a little surprised at Cheng Xi's speed, it was not so easy to get so much refined iron so quickly.

"Since I have brought the fine iron, what about the two of us..."

Ban Xiyao's heart tightened, and he said without changing his expression, "I got the materials, let's talk about other things after I see what I made. And I have nowhere to go now, so don't be driven out by Mr. Shen again." ..."

There was some sarcasm in Ban Xiyao's words, Cheng Xi felt that Ban Xiyao must be angry because of Shen Jiangyue's matter, so it was not easy to force Ban Xiyao.

"Xiyao... I can tolerate you for a few more days. You must know that I'm not that patient." Cheng Xi is not such a patient person either. If Ban Xiyao hadn't agreed to his conditions, he wouldn't be so impatient. Be courteous.

Pan Xiyao's heart tightened when he heard the words, "Now... Now that I have nowhere to go, do I have any choice. Brother Cheng, you can rest assured..."

Cheng Xi chuckled, "It's good that you know. I think you know more about current affairs now than before."

"I've experienced a lot." Ban Xiyao pinched his fingers nervously, and Cheng Xi also noticed this small gesture.

"Then I'll be leaving. What you want will be ready in another seven days. Xiyao..." Cheng Xi stood up and patted Ban Xiyao on the shoulder, then patted his waist along his back go.

Ban Xiyao's body was stiff...

"I go first."

Until Cheng Xi left, Ban Xiyao's energy was still slowed down, he kicked the chair next to him down violently, and hit the door with a loud sound of "Boom!" "Damn it!" Ban Xiyao loosened his neckline, took a sip of cold tea before suppressing the fire in his chest.

That bastard dared to tease him!

After Pan Xiyao calmed down for a while, his heart became more and more uncertain, so he hurried to the backyard to discuss with Zuo Yi.What if Cheng Xi really wants to force him?Doesn’t that guy Zuo Yi really care about him? He should… he cares…

"It's the newly opened one. It's thin...and handsome..." Ban Xiyao inquired.

"You said Li Mutou, he was still there just now... I don't know where he went now, did you have anything to do with him?" The man who replied was respectful.

"No, it's nothing..." Ban Xiyao couldn't find Zuo Yi, and was very upset.Why do you feel so unreliable at critical moments!

As a result, as soon as he came out of the backyard, he saw Zuo Yi leaning against a tree with a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, sleeping so that I would not move despite the rain and wind.

This guy actually wants to sleep!

He walked over and gave Zuo Yi a push, but Zuo Yi kept his eyes closed as he was about to fall to the ground but not yet.

"Are you looking for a draw?"

Zuo Yi opened his eyes and narrowed them slightly, "I heard that you are looking for a thin, handsome man? Huh?"

Ban Xiyao gritted his teeth, "What time is it!"

Zuo Yi said indifferently, "You said that you have a sense of proportion and a plan, but you tell me about your next plan. What are you doing, what do you think I am doing? It is useless to stare at me."

"You bastard! Don't you care about me?"

Zuo Yi lazily leaned against the tree, crossed his legs, "Aren't you quite capable?"

"Go to hell, Zuo Yi!" Pan Xiyao turned his head and left angrily, behind him Zuo Yi squinted and smiled at Ban Xiyao's back, then slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but I heard a man's voice, "What's your name! How dare you sleep here!"

Zuo Yi's heart shuddered, Shen Jiangyue?
