Well of Mystery

Jiang Chenglu shuddered, and just about to ask Xiaodong what's the matter with you, when he saw a blue light flashing across Bai Xiuqi's eyes.

"My lord, I haven't visited my house for a long time, my house is so lonely..."

It is obviously impossible for the sad words that are regarded as women to spit out from men's mouths without violating harmony.But because of Bai Xiuqi's beautiful appearance, there is still a smile on the corner of her beautifully shaped mouth, but she does not have a weird style.

And Jiang Chenglu also seemed to be charmed by this kind of style, standing still and staring at Bai Xiuqi.

The mountain is not just me, I am the mountain.Bai Xiuqi licked her lips, got up and walked towards Jiang Chenglu.When there were only two steps left between each other, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Jiang Chenglu's collar, and then cupped his cheeks with both hands.

The eager kiss was like chewing and tasting, and the two men who had known each other for only an hour were suddenly entangled.

Jiang Chenglu took a step back and leaned against the wall, holding Bai Xiuqi's shoulder and trying to push him away.But the kiss didn't end, Bai Xiuqi's hand began to move down, caressing Jiang Chenglu's back restlessly.

This time, Jiang Chenglu did not hesitate any longer.

He stretched out his left hand to make a hand gesture, and pressed it against Bai Xiuqi's back.The young man who was in the process of kissing immediately collapsed like a leech full of blood, but fortunately, Jiang Chenglu grabbed him into his arms.

"Is it enough?"

The administrator wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

And Bai Xiuqi also smiled and licked the red color on his teeth with his tongue.

"It's not enough. I haven't tasted the precious blood of the young master for 20 years. Besides, this little brother's body is also very comfortable."

Having said that, he made a gesture to hug Jiang Chenglu's neck again, but was firmly rejected.

"Go back, stop making trouble, I'm also doing it for your own good."

Jiang Chenglu was still smiling, and pressed Bai Xiuqi's brows with his finger stained with blood from the corner of his mouth.This time the young man completely closed his eyes and fell limp in his arms.

Jiang Chenglu sighed, and found a red mark on Bai Xiuqi's neck. He followed the mark and put his hand into Bai Xiuqi's arms, and quickly fished out an old ebony rouge box.

The ochre-brown thread tied to the body of the box has broken, and some red rouge has leaked out, staining Bai Xiuqi's chest bright red.

"What a mess."

Jiang Chenglu took out another ocher thread from his pocket, tied the rouge box and put it back in the room, locked the door and carried Bai Xiuqi back to the corridor.

The traces of rouge must be removed immediately, otherwise it will be more troublesome to explain when someone wakes up.

Jiang Chenglu picked up Bai Xiuqi, turned around and walked downstairs.After returning to the room and putting the person on the only bed, he lifted up Bai Xiuqi's jacket, and at first sight saw the Miaoyinniao's tail feathers wrapped around Bai Xiuqi's waist.

"Oh, it looks good."

He gave a low admiration, and then wanted to figure out whether it was a real tattoo, or just an ordinary tattoo sticker.But as soon as his fingers were attached, he felt Bai Xiuqi tremble.

No, I'm waking up.

Jiang Chenglu hastily withdrew his attention, grabbed a dishcloth from the stove and began to wipe it.But the old traces of rouge were far more difficult to remove than he thought, after rubbing it twice, it spread away, as if a bright red flower bloomed on Bai Xiuqi's chest.

It seemed to have opened a blood hole.

Jiang Chenglu's hand stopped, he stared blankly at the sleeping Bai Xiuqi, at the blood-red mark on his slightly pale chest, suddenly something popped up in his mind.

Dark red, dripping blood, torrential rain, and the pale, dead body that fell in the rain.

It was clearly Bai Xiuqi's face, but it didn't seem to be the young man lying in front of her at the moment.

"...!!!"

The dishcloth fell on the bed, and Jiang Chenglu covered his head.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a splitting headache, and my heart clenched together, as if I’ve lost something extremely, extremely important, and there’s a kind of heart-piercing grief and anger...

His vision blurred a little bit in pain, Jiang Chenglu slid and sat on the ground with his head in his arms.

Just when he thought he was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly felt a hand gently pressing on the top of his head.

"how?"

Bai Xiuqi woke up, and the first thing he saw was Jiang Chenglu squatting on the ground.Although his mind was still blank for the time being, he instinctively stretched out his hand.

And the moment he was touched by Bai Xiuqi, the pain and resentment disappeared from Jiang Chenglu's body.He raised his head in astonishment, and met Bai Xiuqi's ignorant and concerned eyes.

At this moment, the two eyes met and deeply reflected in each other's minds.

I don't know how long after watching it, Bai Xiuqi finally felt something strange on his body.As soon as he lowered his head, he immediately frowned.

"What?"

He picked up the dishcloth on his stomach, and then found traces of rouge left on his chest.

"Uh." Jiang Chenglu scratched his head: "Where should I start..."

"Start with how I got into this bed."

Bai Xiuqi pulled back the lifted blouse and sat up on the hard single bed: "I just remember being hit by something."

"Yes, it was hit. You were hit by an antique rouge box, and then you fainted." Jiang Chenglu simply began to explain half-truthfully.

How big can a rouge box be?Even if it's made of stone, it won't make people dizzy from that height.

Of course, Bai Xiuqi didn't believe this set of arguments, but he took a closer look at the remaining red traces, and indeed smelled a light fragrance of rouge and gouache.Besides, I did lose consciousness after being hit by something, such an explanation is absurd but reasonable.

Forget it, anyway, I didn't get hurt.He didn't like to get to the bottom of it, so he shook his head and said that the matter was over.

After the "dangerous situation" was ruled out, Jiang Chenglu heaved a sigh of relief and his stomach began to groan again.He walked to the stove, turned off the low heat, took out a large bowl from the cupboard and started serving soup.

The moment the lid was lifted, the rich aroma of the broth rose to the sky, dancing in the small space in the form of white steam.Bai Xiuqi swallowed, and had to admit that she was hungry too.

"Let's eat here." Jiang Chenglu greeted: "It's just that there are no good dishes, so don't be disgusted, my little boss."

"What do you call me?" Bai Xiuqi was dumbfounded.

"Old Mr. Bai is the boss, and you are the young boss." Jiang Chenglu was quite confident: "Or do you prefer me to call you Mr. Bai?"

Mr. Bai's title is too rigid, and calling him "Xiuqi" is too intimate, and he can't think of other names for Bai Xiuqi at the moment... He shook his head in fear of trouble, walked over and sat down on the edge of the table.

"Hey, it's up to you."

Two bowls filled with rice had been placed on the table, and besides the potato soup, there was also a stir-fried vegetable.Because they went out for a circle just now, it looked a little cold.

"The reception is not good." Jiang Chenglu put the chopsticks in front of Bai Xiuqi.

"I interrupted." Bai Xiuqi shook her head.

To his surprise, the taste of this lunch was much more delicious than expected.

Although it seemed like ordinary ingredients and ordinary cooking techniques, Bai Xiuqi felt that he was particularly fond of this taste.

This feeling...is not just a simple "delicious", but also a kind of "it should be this taste" as a matter of course.

Have you eaten the dishes cooked by Jiang Chenglu before?

how is this possible.

Bai Xiuqi laughed at his nervousness, and picked up another chopstick of vegetables.His eyes swept away inadvertently, and fell on the far side of the table, on the bag of cherries he bought.

I don't know when, the originally tight plastic bag was untied, and you can see pink and tender crystal cherries, but what really surprised Bai Xiuqi was that about one-third of the cherry pulp had been eaten Dropped, leaving only the core connected to the stem.

On closer inspection, several of the cherry stems were even knotted.

Could it be that Jiang Chenglu did it?

No, that guy claimed to have been busy trying to wipe off the traces of rouge after he carried him downstairs, so how could he have the time to sit by the table and crack cherries.

Could it be that the old lady selling cherries played tricks?

What is the trouble?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, Bai Xiuqi simply reached out and pulled down the plastic bag, pointed at the knotted cherry stem and clicked his tongue: "What did you eat? You have a good tongue."

Jiang Chenglu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then nodded awkwardly: "Uh, hehe... I have liked to eat cherries since I was a child, and I learned it when I was bored."

Liar, Bai Xiuqi sneered in his heart.

Every muscle on Jiang Chenglu's face showed that he was lying.

But if not him, who ate the cherries?

mouse?Knot a cherry stem?Even if he did, Jiang Chenglu didn't need to cover up for the mouse.

What an annoyance, yet another unsolvable problem.

Bai Xiuqi became a little irritable, he realized that he was sitting in a room full of mysteries.What made him even more disturbed was that he, who always hated trouble and didn't like to dig into the root of the problem, became curious about these mysteries.

"I am full."

He put down his chopsticks and stood up, insisting on cleaning his bowl regardless of Jiang Chenglu's politeness.The sink was less than one meter away, but he turned on the faucet before he remembered that the only dishcloth in the house was left on the bed by himself.

So he walked to the bed again, picked up the damp rag, and saw that there was a puddle of watermarks on the sheet without any surprise.

As for the blue checkered bed sheet, I don't know how long it has not been washed.

The corners of his mouth twitched twice, feeling a little unable to look directly at such a living environment.

"You plan to be an apartment manager for the rest of your life?"

He turned his head to look at Jiang Chenglu who was holding a vegetable in his mouth: "How old are you? You can't stay here forever, right?"

Jiang Chenglu's chewing stopped immediately.

"No...can you?" He asked suspiciously, "You won't let me stay here, little boss?"

"It's not a question of letting go." Bai Xiuqi frowned: "Don't you think this kind of living conditions are very simple?"

"It's okay...well." Jiang Chenglu still had a suspicious and tentative tone, as if he really didn't understand why Bai Xiuqi sighed like this.

"you really……!!"

Now it was Bai Xiuqi's turn to be speechless.He looked at the tall man in front of him with hatred. Even though his hairstyle was messy and his clothes were casual, he could still feel his natural handsomeness and temperament.

If you were in the world of models or show business, it would be the so-called "God rewards you with food". I hate that the person in front of me not only doesn't enjoy the golden rice bowl brought out from the womb, he seems to have no self-consciousness at all...

Really the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry.

Bai Xiuqi laughed at herself for being so excited, grabbed the rag and was about to go back to wash the dishes, but accidentally bumped into the wall beside the bed.

Only then did he notice that there was a wooden bracket nailed to the wall, with a few small bowls containing candies, kumquats and other offerings, and two small porcelain vases with Milan on both ends, which looked very serious. The ground is a Buddhist altar.

However, what was enshrined on the altar should be a Buddha statue or a ranking position, but what was enshrined on the wooden shelf was a square box tightly wrapped in red silk and satin, and it was impossible to tell what it was for from the outside.

"What's this?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Chenglu's tone suddenly became a little nervous: "Don't worry about it."

But Bai Xiuqi didn't seem to hear the answer, and still looked up at the box blankly.

For some reason, he felt that it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"Can I have a look?" He made a slightly outrageous request: "I want to know what's in there."

"No." Jiang Chenglu refused categorically, and even put down the chopsticks in his hand: "The contents inside are very old, and they will be destroyed when exposed to light. I haven't opened it a few times myself."

"Have you opened it?" Bai Xiuqi asked, "Then tell me, what's inside?"

"..."

Jiang Chenglu put one hand on his forehead, apparently regretting why he said that extra sentence.

He was silent for a while, but still replied: "It may be worthless to others, or even a little scary, but it is priceless to me."

"Priceless treasure?"

Bai Xiuqi chewed these three words, and suddenly felt a burst of inexplicable emotions.He was hesitating whether he could continue to ask, when he saw Jiang Chenglu behind the window, on the corridor on the second floor of the west building across the whole courtyard, a red figure floated past.

That is……! ? !

Bai Xiuqi was dumbfounded for a moment, and even rubbed his eyes to confirm whether he was hallucinating.Then he suddenly left Jiang Chenglu behind and ran towards the outside of the corridor.

"What's the matter? It's a surprise." Jiang Chenglu didn't dare to neglect, he also put down his bowl and chopsticks and followed.
