Well of Mystery

"Don't pay attention to this guy."

Hua Yang smiled and waved to Bai Xiuqi: "He has such a virtue as soon as he comes out of the pot, it's fine, he should eat and drink, and the plush bear can take a bath and go to the toilet."

As he said that, he was going to grab the teddy bear's arm with one hand.

Unexpectedly, Shang Douxing avoided Hua Yang very quickly and pushed him instead.

The bear's arm looks limp and fluffy, but in fact it hides a ton of strength.Pushed by him like this, Hua Yang flew out lightly like a feather, and hit the storage shelf firmly.

Glass bottles soaked in medicinal wine fell from heights one after another, and the air was suddenly filled with a strange smell of medicine and wine.Hua Yang's clothes were also wet with the wine, and he sat down on the wall, with his right hand covering the elbow of his left hand.

"...Are you okay?!"

Seeing that he seemed injured, Bai Xiuqi wanted to come over to help him, but Hua Yang stopped him.

"I am fine."

When saying this, Hua Yang stretched out his right hand to Bai Xiuqi, making a gesture of rejection.But at this moment, he only heard a "click", and his left forearm, which had lost support, suddenly broke away from the elbow and fell completely!

Bai Xiuqi was really taken aback, and stared at Hua Yang's fallen arm with wide eyes.There was no trace of blood at the fracture site, and there seemed to be no muscle or bone inside.He was thinking about whether to open his mouth to care, when he saw Hua Yang picked up his arm and stood up unsteadily.

Shang Douxing was obviously also surprised by the consequences he caused, he finally took a step forward, as if he wanted to express something.

But Huayang didn't let him continue talking.

"Don't worry about me, go downstairs with them, I'll come back in a while after changing clothes."

As he spoke, he squeezed his arms and walked out, with a smile on his mouth that seemed to be indifferent to everything.

At this time, Jiang Chenglu, who heard the commotion, also ran in: "What happened?"

Shang Douxing didn't answer.It sighed, swung its huge and clumsy body, squeezed out the door behind Hua Yang, and walked towards the puppet studio.

In the end, only Bai Xiuqi and Jiang Chenglu were left looking at each other.

"...I shouldn't have come to treat Boss Shang to dinner, it seems to make them even more unhappy."

"It's right for them to be unhappy." Jiang Chenglu patted Bai Xiuqi's shoulder comfortingly: "These two are incompatible all day long, cats and dogs fight."

"But I just saw...uh—"

Realizing that she was gossiping about other people's privacy, Bai Xiuqi suddenly stopped talking.But in Jiang Chenglu's eyes, it seemed that it was no longer a secret.

"You saw them kissing, right? And most of them were forced by Hua Yang, right? Just get used to it, if it weren't for Boss Shang always hiding in the pot sky, they might be the most dazzling flash bombs in the whole apartment. belongs."

Speaking of this, Jiang Chenglu paused for a moment, and came to put his arms around Bai Xiuqi's waist again: "But now, we are the dark horse among the dark horses."

Bai Xiuqi knew that arguing with him now would not end well, so he automatically blocked this sentence; in addition, the entanglement between Huayang and Boss Shang was personal privacy, and it was not appropriate to inquire too much, so he simply dragged Jiang Chenglu downstairs, The two still returned to the dinner party.

"How's it going, did you see the boss?" Le Yaochun asked impatiently, with a look of mischief on his face.

"I see, Lavender Bear." Bai Xiuqi was not as he wished, with a calm face.

It was Wei Xiangtu who asked, "Where are the boss and the little flower?"

"Same as usual."

Jiang Chenglu picked up the chopsticks and poked a peanut into his mouth: "It will come down in a while, wait a minute."

The dishes were fragrant, and the wine provided by Wei Xiangtu was already full.In the soft light of the golden moss, Bai Xiuqi sat beside Jiang Chenglu, the two looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time a different kind of warmth gushed out of their hearts.

"Come on, come on."

Le Yaochun suddenly pointed to the upstairs of the West Building and shouted.Everyone turned their heads and saw Shang Douxing coming down the stairs with Hua Yang and the other two.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting for so long."

Shang Douxing in the form of a big bear has regained his composure, while Hua Yang, who was walking beside him, changed his clothes. Although gauze was wrapped around his left elbow, it seemed that his arm should have been connected.

Because of his huge size, Le Yaochun specially pulled a wicker chair from the Taobao store to sit down for his boss.Seven or eight people, a female ghost, a birdman, and a huge teddy bear—this lineup is not without its weirdness, and of course there is a hint of black humor.

Just when Bai Xiuqi wanted to draw this scene, Jiang Chenglu tapped the small bowl in front of him with his chopsticks, and then raised his wine glass.

"Let's welcome the new members of Xuanjing Apartment, let's each say a word."

"I'll come first." Sitting on the other side of Jiangcheng Road was Hua Yang, who raised his glass and looked at Bai Xiuqi with a smile: "Friends are rare in the world, meeting is fate, I hope we can learn from each other in the future. If Xiaoyin comes back to see She must be very happy to see a handsome guy like you."

"Ahem." Jiang Chenglu pretended to cough twice to take the topic away: "By the way, boss, you guys should take Xiaobai with you in a few days when you plan to stock up. The fox said he wanted him to buy a little bit of white." Crystal for windows."

"No problem." The owner of Mao Xiongshang agreed happily: "I will notify you when the stock will be restocked in two days."

"Hey... Ah Jiang, what did you call Xiaodong's house just now?!" Le Yaochun on the side discovered the mystery: "Xiaobai?"

"Can't you?" Jiang Chenglu put his hand on Bai Xiuqi's shoulder more and more blatantly: "Xiaobai didn't let me call him Xiaodongjia, otherwise you can tell me what should be called. Xiuxiu? Qiqi? Xiuxiu Qi?"

"..."

Others were still doing well, but Bai Xiuqi shuddered first, and for the first time felt that his name sounded so girly.

"...Forget it, Xiaobai will be Xiaobai."

"Alright Xiaobai, Xiaobai, Xiao..."

Le Yaochun is now learning and selling, and called out several times in one breath, and finally was poked by the female ghost Xiaohong with her elbow: "Be interesting! This name is not for you to call casually." of."

No, although he was reluctant, it was even more strange to have only one person screaming - Bai Xiuqi held back the thoughts in his heart, and tried his best to maintain the easy-going attitude that an adult male should have.

After that, Xiaohong thanked Bai Xiuqi for helping to redecorate the bathroom, especially for pulling the separate network cable.Bai Xiuqi hastily expressed his gratitude.Next, An Shande, Wei Xiangtu and Tao Chuan also expressed their welcome to Bai Xiuqi.

After going around in a circle, the "microphone" returned to Jiang Chenglu's hand.With a smile still on his face, he cleared his throat, but only uttered seven words.

"Xiaobai, welcome home."

"Yeah." Bai Xiuqi also responded with a rare and innocent smile: "I'm back."

……

"cheers!"

The sound of glasses colliding with each other became the prelude to the dinner.There is no cautious temptation, no profit-seeking flattery, and no rules and cares about pushing and changing cups. There are only intimate frolics and endless care.

These people may not be real relatives, but in the near future, they will definitely go further than friends.

Bai Xiuqi had this premonition.

When it comes to a dinner party, eating and drinking are of course the most important thing.The beef and mutton brought by Bai Xiuqi has been widely appreciated for its delicious meat, and Jiang Chenglu's cooking skills are the finishing touch.

"The two of you put together... that's, two swords combined!"

After taking two sips of wine, Le Yaochun, who had a big tongue, smirked vaguely.

Although Xiaohong, the female ghost sitting next to him, couldn't eat directly, she still had a soft spot for razor clams with scallion oil and black fish with pickled cabbage, and she filled several bowls in a row.She picked up a piece of fish meat and brought it to her mouth, sucked it with her lips, and the tender and oily meat suddenly turned gray and dry, and fell off the chopsticks.

Apart from Xiao Hong, another person who has a distinctive taste in food is Shang Dou Xing.

The bear doll's hands are fat and short, and there are no five fingers, so it is impossible to use chopsticks or spoons dexterously at all.Therefore, all the food was actually picked up by Hua Yang who was sitting next to him and brought to his mouth.

But I don't know if it was because of the conflict just now that Hua Yang was upset. The food he gave Shang Douxing was all big pieces, even whole fish heads, duck heads and chicken butts.And Shang Douxing may have felt guilty in his heart, so he didn't refuse any of these things, and stuffed them all into his mouth, gnawing on them.

Bai Xiuqi stared blankly at the scene of the giant teddy bear eating, and fell into a brief trance until Shang Douxing raised his head and met his gaze.

"Don't hold back, I know you have questions to ask."

Bai Xiuqi recovered, and asked hesitantly, "...are you really a teddy bear?"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings became quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on Shang Douxing.Then, the first person to laugh out loud was Huayang.

"Hahaha, the history of the teddy bear is only a little over a hundred years, and it can still become a spirit? Then the big yellow duck floating on the riverside a few days ago also has inner alchemy!"

At this point, he almost laughed enough, and explained along the fur on the big bear's arm: "He, the real appearance is the one you saw in Hutian. It's just that because of some previous things, he His physical body was destroyed, and only his soul is left for the time being, so he can only live in the body of this big furry bear."

"The body is destroyed and only the soul is left. Isn't that like Xiaohong becoming a ghost?"

"Different."

The person who answered was Jiang Chenglu: "Death happens after the body is destroyed, and the soul is forced to leave the body. When Boss Shang's soul was out of his body, the body was attacked and destroyed by surprise, so it is not considered death."

Le Yaochun interjected: "It's as if you were walking on the road and your shoes were taken away, the soles of your feet must be covered with mud... But when you are about to get out of bed, you find that your shoes have been taken away. Think about your feet. Without mud, you can choose to stay on the bed and wait for someone to send you another pair of shoes."

...What a strange metaphor.

Bai Xiuqi slandered, and asked again: "Does it have to be a teddy bear? Can't we change to another...carrier?"

Jiang Chenglu shook his head: "First of all, people are definitely not good. Leaving aside the issue of ethical rules, even if someone is willing to donate a body, it is generally difficult to use it for more than a month, and it will be corrupted."

"Of course, for a monster like Huapi who is so careful and careful, a piece of skin can last for a year or two." Even Wei Xiangtu, who has always been gentle and serious, intervened: "But later on, basically every few days. Come down to sew and mend, it’s very troublesome.”
