Gu Lang's tone of voice was extraordinarily gentle, and there was some emotion in it that Chen Xing couldn't distinguish.

After Chen Xing was slightly stunned, he raised his eyes and saw Gu Lang's gentle eyebrows and eyes, his slender eyelashes were scattered, and he looked softly at the jade pendant on his waist.He couldn't help stretching out his hand to caress the jade pendant, feeling somewhat indescribable in his heart.

"This pair of jade pendants is a token of love from your parents. Isn't it a little bad for you to give it to me directly like this?"

Gu Lang raised his eyes and looked at Chen Xing, who was a little nervous, with a smile under his gentle brows. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Chen Xing's cheek, making him look directly at him, and said in a firm tone: "It's not a deal, Are we people who want to accompany each other for a lifetime? If so, who should give this jade pendant to you?"

Chen Xing met Gu Lang's eyes, I don't know if it was his illusion, he saw a bit of strength that he hadn't seen before in those usually gentle eyebrows, and that made him blush and heartbeat when he saw it. deep feeling.

Chen Xing gradually clenched the jade pendant in his hand, looked at Gu Lang and nodded heavily, and said firmly, "Well, we have agreed."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing with firm eyes, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and then, under Chen Xing's astonished gaze, leaned forward and kissed him.

Chen Xing was shocked by Gu Lang's actions, but then he wrapped his arms around Gu Lang's waist, and soon became addicted to it.After all, being close to the person you like is a very normal thing.

The carriage rattled along, and Qiu Jiu, who was driving outside, looked up at the full moon in the sky, thinking that tomorrow would also be a good day!

On the second day, when the store was about to close.

"Little boss, the rice in the kitchen is almost gone." Qiushi wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Chen Xing who was stroking his lips, standing by the window sill, wondering what he was thinking, and asked in a low voice, " Shall we go stock up today?"

With Qiu Shi's call, Chen Xing, who was distracted, was immediately pulled back.

Yesterday, Chen Xing and Gu Lang kissed all the way to Gu's house, and at the end they were even a little bit emotional, but for some unknown reason, Gu Lang finally restrained himself, sent Chen Xing back to the room and left, leaving behind a Chen Xing was confused and obviously emotional.

Until today, Chen Xing couldn't figure out why Gu Lang suddenly stopped continuing yesterday. He obviously felt that Gu Lang had reacted, and it wasn't because he couldn't do it? !So what is the reason?

Chen Xing thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out why, so he asked Gu Lang directly, and he was worried that Gu Lang would feel that he was dissatisfied with his desires and felt that he was too unreserved.

"Hey~" Chen Xing sighed deeply. He felt that he could bear it any longer. If Gu Lang had any scruples, it was obviously impossible for him to rush forward in such a daze.

Qiushi next to him watched Chen Xing frown for a while, sighed for a while, and relaxed for a while, and finally couldn't help asking, "Boss, shall we go buy rice today?"

Chen Xing shifted his gaze to Qiu Shi next to him, and when he heard him repeat what he said just now, he seemed to suddenly realize: "Is there any more rice in the store?"

Qiushi nodded, looked at the little boss who had been distracted today, hesitated for a while but still didn't say anything.

Chen Xing immediately put aside all his messy thoughts, and said decisively: "Go today, I will go with you, and come back with some spices. Let's push that small cart over there, and we can take a look at it casually." Is there anything else to buy?"

"Yes." Qiu Shi had no objection to this, and obediently went to push the cart.

When Qiushi was ready, Chen Xing went to the front desk to talk to Gu Lang, telling him that he was going to the rice store to buy some rice and other things along the way, and after Gu Lang guarded the door to close the store, he and Qiu Shi left together up.

Chen Xing took Qiushi straight to the rice store where he usually buys, greeted the shopkeeper there, and then wanted to choose the rice he wanted.

Because every time Chen Xing comes to buy rice, he asks for a large portion, and he orders it directly when he thinks the price is right, without saying anything, so the owner of the rice shop likes him very much, and sometimes even gives him a little discount.

I just don't know what happened today. When Chen Xing chose the rice he wanted and asked the shopkeeper to help weigh the rice, the shopkeeper didn't do anything for a long time, and looked at him with a tangled face. Finally, he held back for a long time and finally said something , "Guest officer, sorry, this rice is not for sale today."

Chen Xing, who was planning to go back and make something to eat, immediately cast a puzzled look at him when he heard his words, and directly asked his question, "Why don't you sell it?"

Perhaps Chen Xing's gaze was too straightforward, which made the shopkeeper a little hard to resist. He averted his gaze, and said with evasive eyes: "Well, these are all ordered by others, so I can't sell them to you."

Chen Xing looked at the rice that was put out, and felt that there was something wrong, so he pointed to the rice to make sure again and asked, "All these have been ordered?" The shopkeeper gave Chen Xing a questioning look. , bit the bullet and nodded, and said in a helpless tone: "Yes, guest officer, these were ordered by the other customers early in the morning."

Chen Xing raised his eyes to look at the shopkeeper, seeing his dodging eyes, felt a little strange but didn't think much about it, nodded his head to express his understanding and left.Anyway, there is more than one rice store in this city, and it is the same when he goes to other places to buy.It's just that after working together for so long, he subconsciously chose this one.

Therefore, Chen Xing nodded towards the shopkeeper very understandingly, and said in a gentle tone: "Since that's the case, then I won't force others, I'll go to another place to have a look."

Hearing what Chen Xing said, a bit of hesitation appeared on the shopkeeper's face, and finally he seemed to be scrupled about something, so he didn't say anything.

On the other hand, Qiu Shi, who was following Chen Xing, glanced at the shopkeeper when he left, seeing his guilty and guilty face, and made a little more speculation in his heart.He didn't say much, but silently pushed the cart and followed behind Chen Xing.

Chen Xing didn't know whether it was the wrong almanac or the whole city was against him, so he took Qiu Shi to several rice shops, and either they were ordered by others or they didn't sell them.As a result, the journey that originally only took half an hour took him an hour, and he still hadn't bought a single grain of rice.

"Little boss, shall we go there again?" Qiu Shi looked at Chen Xing who was sitting there frowning and didn't know what he was thinking, and asked in a low voice beside him.

Chen Xing was sitting on the stone bench, eating the candied fruit that Gu Lang gave him before leaving the door, looking at the street ahead with people coming and going, wondering what he was thinking.

After hearing Qiu Shi's question, Chen Xing seemed to have thought of something, shook his head slowly, and sighed: "No need, let's go back first!"

It was their luck that they didn't buy rice at the beginning, but after visiting so many houses, they didn't sell them to him even though they had rice, which made him think too much.He felt that they were being targeted by someone, and it was such an aboveboard targeting.If this is the case, it doesn't matter how many houses he visits, why should he waste all these thoughts, it's better to go back and think about what to do.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing sighed silently, then stood up and said to Qiu Shi next to him, "Let's go, we're going back."

When Chen Xing returned to the shop with Qiu Shi, the shop had been cleaned up, and Gu Lang was sitting at the counter looking at the passers-by on the street, as if waiting for their return.

Chen Xing clearly saw that when Gu Lang saw him, a smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face, which made him relax a little from the tiredness he had accumulated after running for a day.

Gu Lang came out from behind the counter and came to Chen Xing's side. Just as he was about to say something to him, he caught sight of the empty cart behind him from the corner of his eye.

Thinking of what Chen Xing said before going out today, Gu Lang gradually had a bad premonition, and then he looked at Chen Xing in front of him, only to find that his face had a rare fatigue, and he couldn't care less Yes, and asked directly, "You went out today, but it didn't go well."

Hearing Gu Lang's slightly caring words, Chen Xing's shoulders that had been supporting him suddenly collapsed. He looked up at Gu Lang and said in a coquettish tone that he himself hadn't noticed:

"I think I should be targeted. When I went to buy rice today, they didn't sell it to us. I thought about it, the Zhao family was behind it, but I don't understand why they did it. To them what is the benefit?"

Hearing this, Gu Lang frowned, and his face became a little ugly. He had imagined the Chen family's method, but he didn't expect it to be such a low-handed method. It's really ridiculous!

Gu Lang looked down at the frustrated Chen Xing, and comforted him, "It's okay, if no one in this city sells it to us, at worst we can go to a farther place to collect it."

Chen Xing also thought about this problem, but the transportation was inconvenient in ancient times. If they went to the village to buy it themselves, or went to other places to buy it, not to mention the cost issue, there would be a lot of delays in time.

But now, Chen Xing has no better way, he can only nod after Gu Lang finished speaking, agreeing with his opinion.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's sullen look, gently rubbed his head, and comforted him in a soft voice: "It's okay, it will be fine. His Chen family can't cover the sky with one hand, the county is so big, it's impossible Every rice shop listens to him. After we have passed this period, we will find a way to get justice for ourselves."

When Chen Xing heard Gu Lang's words, he nodded fiercely. He felt that what Gu Lang said was right. They should get over the difficulties before them, and then try to find a way to get justice for themselves.

Having figured it out, Chen Xing immediately cheered up again, cheered up a bit, and began to think of a solution.Soon, he made a judgment. He first went to look at the remaining rice in the store, and reckoned that he could still use it for three days.Immediately afterwards, Qiu Jiu and Qiu Shi were asked to go out separately to find out which rice shop could sell them rice.

Chen Xing originally thought that even if the Chen family had some prestige in this city, it would be impossible to cover the sky with one hand, and there would always be one or two fish that slipped through the net and could bring him some good news.

It's a pity that things didn't go as Chen Xing wanted. When Qiu Jiu and the others came back, they didn't bring any good news. On the contrary, it made Chen Xing, who was already depressed, even more depressed.
