Well of Mystery

Which star was caught taking a group photo with this?

Bai Xiuqi thought about it as he walked, and soon found that the room where Jiang Chenglu's hair was cut just now was empty.He froze for a moment, and saw flashing lights flickering in the hall at the end of the corridor, and there were faintly familiar sighs or two.

"That's enough...it's okay..."

Although he roughly guessed what happened, Bai Xiuqi still felt a little surprised.He quickened his pace and walked over, just as he saw Jiang Chenglu, who had his hair done, looked like a star being photographed by the photographer and a group of employees in the store with their mobile phones.

This is to use it to advertise the store on social platforms.

There is no way, celebrities are arrogant, ordinary people's looks may not be convincing to the public, and a temper like Bai Xiuqi is too stubborn - at this point, Jiang Chenglu just turned around, even if he is used to seeing this face , Bai Xiuqi still felt his heart throbbing for a moment.

I really want to sell his face, his physique, and his muscles... Acting and singing may not work, but being a graphic model should be more than enough.

Now so many people outside have sharpened their heads to squeeze into that circle, and they can't get what they want; Jiang Chenglu can make money just by standing, but "willing to degenerate", this is an unforgivable sin in itself.

He wasn't the only one who thought this way. After the photographer finished taking the photos, he started flirting with Jiang Chenglu again, and even gave him a business card.

Bai Xiuqi strode over, snatched the business card and squeezed it into his hand, smiled at the photographer: "Old Zhang knows the rules, if you want to take it for publicity, pay the endorsement fee first."

"You are here." Jiang Chenglu happily pointed to his head: "How is it?"

"……not so good."

Even Bai Xiuqi didn't understand why he said this irony, but it felt quite good to say it anyway.He walked over and stuffed the bag in his hand into Jiang Chenglu's arms.

"Change it."

"For me?" Jiang Chenglu was flattered, opened the paper bag and took a look inside: "It's expensive."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and hurry up."

Bai Xiuqi drove Jiang Chenglu into the styling room on one side, knocked on the door one after another, and stuffed shoes, belts, and coats in.Ten minutes later, the door reopened, and the first thing that came out was the sound of leather shoes walking on the floor.

"……Depend on!"

Bai Xiuqi suddenly felt that the only way to vent his feelings at the moment was by swearing.

It really depends on people in golden clothes to get clothes. The man who came out of the styling room was really handsome beyond his expectations.It would not be an exaggeration to say that it came directly from a big-name advertisement.

Before the shutter and the flash sounded again, Bai Xiuqi took Jiang Chenglu's arm and walked out the door.When passing by the front desk, I picked up those big and small paper bags, and then went down to the parking lot in one breath and took the waiting taxi.

The taxi driver is also an interesting person. When he saw Bai Xiuqi leading a "stranger" into the car, he turned around and asked, "Boss, are you leaving? Don't wait for that little brother just now?"

"No more." Bai Xiuqi shook her head.

The taxi drove out of the dark underground parking lot and headed west.This time, Bai Xiuqi made his destination clear——

"Go to Ziyuan Mountain."

Ziyuan Mountain is a small mountain in the southwest of S City, originally there was nothing special about it.But there is only one reason for the great reputation in S City.

After 45 minutes of driving, the taxi turned a corner and drove up the mountain road.There are three stone archways in front of them, and on the first one is a horizontal plaque, which reads "Liufang forever".

There is a parking lot in front of the archway, and taxis can only stop here.Leaving the things he bought in the car, Bai Xiuqi led Jiang Chenglu out of the car and walked into the archway.

Surrounded by verdant pines and cypresses, lush forests and bamboos, and a few red and white oleanders, it is quiet and elegant.

After seeing the terraced stone monuments lined up on the hillside in the distance, Jiang Chenglu finally understood what this place was.

"Shall we see Papa Bai?"

"En." Bai Xiuqi nodded: "I'll show you the way, and I'll get to know you next time I come by myself."

"...Why does it sound so unlucky?"

As they talked, they walked up the mountain and passed by a few small shops selling joss stick flowers and fruits.Bai Xiuqi bought paper money, flowers and incense candles here, and just as he was about to pay, he saw a hand stretched out beside him.

"You are just a guide, I have to pay for it."

The two of them took the sacrifices and continued on. The tomb of Bai Xiuqi's grandfather was built high on the hillside. It is said that the feng shui and scenery are good.Although the Bai family has ancestral property and ancestral graves in the countryside, the old man finally chose to rest in this cemetery far away from the house.No one knew what he was thinking, and all Bai Xiuqi could do at that time was respect.

After climbing more than 100 steps, the vision suddenly opened up.Most of the city unfolded in front of my eyes, like a huge three-dimensional picture scroll.

Bai Xiuqi quickly found the unique tomb guarded by carved stone railings. On the tombstone carved by his grandfather's former friends, his grandfather's straight back is embossed on the rough rough stone surface.On the upper right of the stele, a bird is flying towards him with its wings outstretched.

"Grandpa, look, who is here to see you."

Bai Xiuqi leaned over and began to replace the withered white chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone with newly bought bouquets.Jiang Chenglu also squatted down beside him, reaching out to brush the fallen leaves in front of the stele.

"Father, don't you recognize me. It's me, Ah Jiang."

Having said that, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly, but remembered that he had just cut his hair.

"Your grandson dislikes my modeling soil, and he specially took me to remodel it before coming to see you. Now it feels cold on the top of my head, and I'm not used to it..."

"Don't complain, didn't you say you wanted to see him? Then be serious." Bai Xiuqi warned.

"Serious? My father and I never talked about being serious before, why are we now becoming serious..." Jiang Chenglu had an expression of "a concubine can't do it".

Bai Xiuqi was speechless for a few seconds, and decided to leave this guy to fend for himself.

He picked up the plastic bucket that had been filled with flowers, and ran to the sink beside him to fetch a bucket of water to clean the tombstone.The way to fetch water is a bit long, and it takes about seven or eight minutes to go back and forth.When he came back with the bucket, he saw Jiang Chenglu burning paper money from a distance, talking and laughing at the tombstone.

He looked more like a grandson than his real grandson....

Not wanting to destroy this harmonious scene, Bai Xiuqi stood for a while holding a bucket in the distance.On the contrary, Jiang Chenglu quickly spotted him and beckoned him to come over.

"Father, have you already guessed it? Xiaodong also knows about Xuanjing Apartment. Don't worry, let him tell you by himself."

Bai Xiuqi was squatted in front of the tombstone by Jiang Chenglu, and the bucket in his hand was also snatched away.Facing the familiar figure on the tombstone, he was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Grandpa, I..."

Where should I start and what should I say?Only now did I realize that Bai Xiuqi himself was the one who was really unprepared for this grave-sweeping trip.

In fact, it wasn't just the tomb-sweeping that was unprepared, the decision to step into Xuanjing's apartment seemed to be hasty and sudden.

But suddenly does not mean that you will regret it.

"I think... Xuanjing's world is related to me."

After some deliberation, Bai Xiuqi tried to express the hazy intuition in his heart: "If there is such a thing as fate, then I must have been pushed there by it. Grandpa, did you also have my present fate back then? Feeling? Since you often go to Xuanjing Apartment without telling me, even if you don’t support it, you should understand how I feel.”

Of course, the tombstone couldn't respond, and the surrounding area was still silent.Only the incinerated paper money turned into fly ash and rose to a dim height.

"The paper money turned into ashes and flew away, which means that the old man has accepted your sacrifice." Jiang Chenglu patted him on the shoulder: "He is not the kind of unreasonable person, don't worry move in. As long as my brother If you continue to live in Xuanjing Apartment for a day, you will be fine, little boss."

Bai Xiuqi nodded and gave him a rare and gentle smile.

It was already around five o'clock in the afternoon when this impromptu tomb-sweeping trip ended.The experienced taxi driver gave full play to his unique skills such as drilling, squeezing, grabbing, and inserting, and sent the two of them back to the city center before the evening rush hour. "Let's go back after dinner."

Bai Xiuqi said something lightly, and then led Jiang Chenglu into the commercial district.This time they went to a park near the city center, a high-end restaurant with a good reputation next to the lake in the park.

But the moment he entered, Jiang Chenglu held Bai Xiuqi back.

He said: "You have paid a lot of money today, let me treat this meal."

"You please?" Bai Xiuqi asked without thinking, "Do you have enough money?"

"...cash may not be enough, but I still have a debit card."

Jiang Chenglu's answer was so different from his social elite's attire that Bai Xiuqi couldn't help but wonder if throwing money at him like this would hurt his self-esteem instead.

In addition, the two big men were standing at the door of the restaurant, chattering and chatting, and they had already received the curious eyes of many passers-by in just a few minutes. The two of them quickly decided to change to a more economical place.

This time it was Jiang Chenglu who took the lead, and the two of them walked through the streets and alleys carrying large and small bags, plunged into the crowded snack street where the sewage was flowing, and chose a skewer restaurant with the most bamboo sticks on the ground.

Jiang Chenglu excitedly looked up at the recipes listed on the small blackboard, while Bai Xiuqi noticed that several young female diners sitting on the open-air seats were pointing their phones at them.

The business of this store is really good. After waiting in line for them to order, Jiang Chenglu seemed worried that he didn't have enough cash, so he took out a card from his wallet: "Boss, can we use our savings card?"

"Grass……"

Anyway, this wasn't the first time Bai Xiuqi lost his grace today, he walked over two or three times, and viciously snatched the card from Jiang Chenglu's hand.

"This fucking is your savings card?"

"Yes." Jiang Chenglu nodded his head as a matter of course.

"Don't you have a card? Take a picture of this 'savings card' to open everyone's eyes!"

"Isn't it just a card? What's there to take?"

……

Bai Xiuqi was crying and laughing and didn't want to call a place, when he heard the shop assistant impatiently urging: "Hurry up, buy it or not, don't buy it and just stay."

Bai Xiuqi also said anxiously: "Buy, buy, buy, I want to buy your store!"
