Before going to bed, Bai Ye sprinkled mosquito repellant medicine in the campfire, and sprinkled snake repellent herbs around it.After doing this, I took the thin quilt out of the carriage, and after finishing a piece of dry grass, spread the thin quilt on the ground.

"This side is near the water, and the ground is relatively humid. Although it is summer, if you sleep for a long time, your bones will hurt later. You should sleep here."

"how about you?"

"Me? I have internal energy to protect my body, so it's okay. If I really don't sleep well, I can go to sleep in a tree, but you can't?" Well, in fact, Bai Ye wants to sleep here with Xiao Ran. On the big thin quilt, the two young people can just hug each other, but...

Hey, cutting grass will scare the snake, for Xiao Ran who still has the wound from two years ago in his heart, let's take it slowly.

This night, Xiao Ran slept well.

Bai Ye also thought camping was really good at first, he could see Xiao Ran's peaceful sleeping face in the firelight under the starry sky, how tender was his heart?However, he quit the job the next day, and found an inn to stay in the evening, and asked for two more rooms.

Just kidding, to stare at someone's sleepy face all night without being able to do anything is actually a terrible thing for a healthy adult male like Bai Ye.

However, Bai Ye quit after only one night.

Just kidding, the person I love is behind a wall, but I can't see or touch it, and I always have to guess what that person is doing now, whether he is asleep or still reading...

So under Bai Ye's repetition, he finally arrived at Wuzhou City safely.

Bai Ye first took Xiao Ran back to his room.

Those guarding the house have long been ordered to run as far as they can, don't let Xiao Ran see it and arouse resentment that he can't go home.

Sure enough, as Bai Ye said, the house, yard and even the kitchen were cleaned up.What surprised Xiao Ran even more was that almost all the objects in the room were the same as when he left, as if there had never been two years, and he had never left.

When entering the inner room, Xiao Ran's hand that lifted the door curtain paused in the air.What he and Bai Ye did in this small space behind the curtain, what happened, and how humble he was, he all remembered it so clearly that he could even have the illusion of being kissed when he closed his eyes.

Bai Ye stood behind him, watching him stand still, not knowing why he had to go up and help him lift the door curtain.

"What's the matter? Feeling timid because of the proximity to the country?"

While talking, pushing with his hand, Xiao Ran was forcefully pushed into the room by him, he was dazzled for a while, as if he fell into an invisible net that was always escaping, and he seemed to be able to smell the smell at that time in his nose. Masculine musk.

Xiao Ran staggered, so scared that Bai Ye who followed into the room hurried forward to support him. "What's the matter? It's too hot? Would you like to sit down?"

Xiao Ran was embraced by Bai Ye, who pressed against his chest, the heat from Bai Ye's body immediately enveloped him, so embarrassing, Xiao Ran blushed and hurriedly pushed Bai Ye away to stand firm. "No, nothing, I'm fine..."

Xiao Ran lingered in the room with shallow eyes, not daring to look at the wooden bed with the hanging curtain. "Well, it's almost the same as before."

"Ha, right? Let me tell you that I've been guarding this place with all my heart for the past two years. So you can move back directly, right?"

"This matter... Besides, let's go into the city to see the shop?"

Xiao Ran thinks realistically, the matter of opening a shop has not been written yet, so why bother to be too obsessed with where to live.

In fact, Bai Ye also thinks realistically. If you really come back, at least you won't be wandering around anymore. I come to you all the time like in the past. One day you will understand my intentions, and you and I will do it all over again.

The discussion was fruitless, and when they went out, they saw a large cart parked outside the gate, and a well-dressed coachman stood beside the cart, and when they saw the two going out, they bowed to each other at the gate of the courtyard.

"Second young master, the hall master asked me to pick you and Mr. Xiao. Do you think you should go to the store first, or go to have lunch first, take a rest, and go after the sun goes down?"

The coachman was in his early twenties, and he looked smart. He spoke clearly but not too fast, with a cadence that made people feel good when he heard it.

Bai Ye looked directly at Xiao Ran. "You decide, whether to go to the shop or eat first."

When the coachman heard this, he turned to Xiao Ran again. "Say hello to Mr. Xiao. Mr. Xiao, looking at the store is a troublesome thing. It depends on the structure of the store, feng shui, surrounding environment, etc. It may take a while. It just so happens that the hall master has arranged for the second young master to meet you at Baoqing Restaurant Banquet, why don't you go and eat first? It happens that Baoqing Restaurant is also on Zhengsan Street, so Mr. Xiao can have a meal and have a look together at the same time."

Hearing what the coachman said so well, Xiao Ran nodded. "Okay, then trouble brother."

"Oh, Mr. Xiao is polite." The coachman opened the curtain, Bai Ye helped Xiao Ran to sit in first, and then went in and sat down by himself. The coachman put down the curtain and sat in the driver's seat by himself, saying: "The car must go Well, there will be bumps on the village road, just wait until you get on the official road."

"Seeing that you are young, you are quite clever. What's your name?" Bai Ye pulled Xiao Ran to make him sit more comfortably, leaned against the wall, and asked with a smile.

"Going back to the second master, it's not good to be young, I forgot to mention. The young one is called Shi Er, the hall master knows that Kuixi didn't come with you this time, so let me temporarily serve you and Young Master Xiao on behalf of Kuixi."

"No, I..." Just as Xiao Ran wanted to refuse, he covered Bai Ye's mouth, and leaned closer to whisper to him.

"Hall Master Niu has good intentions. If you refuse, you will reject it for my own sake. Wouldn't Hall Master Niu panic and think that you have offended me?"

Xiao Ran didn't know about their entanglements in the Xuantian Clan, but hearing what Bai Ye said was true, he didn't dare to speak casually.

In fact, Bai Ye is used to being alone, and he doesn't always bring Joy and Laifu by his side. If he really rejects a servant, what can the hall master say?

But there is a servant who can take care of Zhou Shi for Xiao Ran.It's not two years ago now, how could Bai Ye dare to wait for Xiao Ran to take care of him?But I am indeed not a person who can take care of others, so I might as well ask for a servant.

When we arrived at Baoqing Building, there was already a shopkeeper waiting at the door, and while leading people upstairs, he said: "Second Master, the private room arranged for you on the third floor is facing the street, and the dishes are all light and refreshing. Lord, would you like to have a look at the menu later?"

"No need, the cold dishes will be served soon—by the way, don't make too much, there are only two of us, don't waste it."

This is what Bai Ye learned after getting to know Xiao, don't waste it.

Bai Ye doesn't know how to treat people well. What he knows is to give you everything, and you can eat whatever you like, anyway, he has money.

This way, it doesn't matter if it's in the wilderness, but once it's in a village, Bai Ye will definitely take Xiao Ran to the best local restaurant and order the most famous local dishes, regardless of whether the two of them can eat it or not. Let's call first.

Although Xiao Ran would frown at the beginning, he didn't say anything, but after seeing him like this every time, he finally couldn't help it, but he only said that he has a small appetite, Bai Ye, you don't need to count him in when you order food, he just eats anything. enough.

Well, Bai Ye has always been very difficult.He ordered a table of dishes, all he wanted was to make Xiao Ran eat well, and at the very best he could gain some weight.But seeing Xiao Ran eat less and less each meal, his complexion worse than each meal, and he hesitates to speak to himself every time, it really makes people feel angry.

After Xiao Ran said, oh, Bai Ye also understood. After this, the hotel still looks for the best ones, and the dishes still look for the most exquisite and unique spots, but Bai Ye has controlled the quantity.

Two cold dishes and three hot dishes, depending on Xiao Ran's appetite, if it's good and the hotel has special soup, then just add another soup, and two bowls of rice are enough.

Baoqing Building is not considered the best in Wuzhou, but it is located on Zhengsan Street, and the people passing by can see it clearly.

When Xiao Ran entered the private room, Bai Ye dragged him to the window, and asked Shi Er to come over first and point out which shop was opposite.Xiao Ran took a look and nodded. "The location is good. There are many people in this place, but why did the store suddenly close?"

Shi Er hurriedly replied: "This shop used to be for ready-made garments, but the old owner passed away last year, and the new owner's business is not smooth, and it still can't support it even now, so I simply closed the shop and went back to my hometown."

Bai Ye glanced at Shi Er in surprise.This matter was simply caused by him on the spur of the moment. It's a good thing that this kid actually lied so completely.

Xiao Ran nodded, and after thanking him, he stood by the window and watched the flow of people on the street.

Bai Ye didn't want to again, although there was a bamboo curtain to block it, but it was extremely hot at noon, aren't you afraid of getting dizzy, Xiao Ran?It happened that the waiter brought up cold dishes, and Bai Ye took Xiao Ran to his seat.

Three cold dishes, one is preserved egg tofu, one is bad wing tip, and a pot of white-cut lamb.

Bai Ye didn't ask for wine, and Xiao Ran was not addicted to alcohol, so he asked the waiter to serve two cups of clear tea.

After taking a few mouthfuls, Xiao Ran suddenly smiled, put down his chopsticks and looked at Bai Ye. "Actually, you said that you wronged yourself a lot in the past. You have such a good life, but you have to go to my side to squeeze."

Hearing this, Bai Ye hurriedly raised his head to stare at Xiao Ran, and said seriously: "As I told you, I was really happy when I lived in your house. I really didn't lie to you about this. Xiao Ran, if time can If I do it all over again, I will still choose to nest with you."

It's just that this time I will never go to Canxing's place again, and I will never talk nonsense again!

After the two of them finished their meal slowly, Bai Ye dragged Xiao Ran to sit in the private room for a long time, and when the sun was already slanting to the west, he lazily left Baoqing Tower.

"Why are you in a hurry, anyway, it's all sold out, just go and have a look."

"It's so late, how can I see clearly..." Xiao Ran was helpless, he wanted to come over several times in the afternoon, but Bai Ye said that the shop was located in Baoqing Building because of the hot weather, too many people, and various reasons. On the opposite side, he could only stand by the window and look at the shop that was close at hand all afternoon!

"Second Master is right, Mr. Xiao, the shop has long been owned by Xuantianmen, you can take a look at it casually, if you are not satisfied with this structure, tell Shier, and Shier will help you deal with it." Shier Er Ye hurriedly said, while moving open the door of the store, he led the two of them inside.

"That's not necessary, the price of the shop has already been lowered enough for you, why bother with anything else?" Xiao Ran hastily refused.

In one afternoon, Bai Ye was very accomplished.After wrangling for an afternoon, he finally booked the shop's annual rent, which was three hundred dollars a year.

What a low price, huh?But it doesn't matter, he didn't expect to make a lot of money from Li Ran's bookstore business, the main thing was to make Li Ran stay.

Xiao Ran also knew that this would definitely not be the market price, but if it was really the market price, how could Xiao Ran afford it?

Xiao Ran knew in his heart that it was Bai Ye's intention, but the more he did, the more he thought about it.

It has always been Xiao Ran's dream to open a bookstore, but for a scholar like Xiao Ran, going into business requires opportunities and more funds.

He has no funds, and he has never been able to gather a lot of money as a scholar. Let alone a store, even after purchasing once, there is probably not much left.

So Bai Ye said, how about it, Xiao Ran, I was sorry to you back then, I made mistakes, so give me a chance to redeem my sins, okay?

Everyone has brought up the events of those years on the table, so can Xiao Ran nod his head and say yes?

Now that Xiao Ran has said yes, Bai Ye said, so let’s do it this way, for the facade, pick up the silver three times a year, and collect the account at the end of the year; for the purchase, our master from Xuantianmen will take you for the first three times, of course, the fees for the first three times are also I'll pay; this shop used to sell ready-made clothes, and the layout will definitely not suit your wishes. When the time comes to renovate, the money will be mine.

Xiao Ran was confused, and finally understood only one thing, all the money was paid by Bai Ye.

Xiao Ran definitely can't agree, why is Bai Ye paying for his shop?Even if we had troubles in the past, I will say that the past is forgotten, and the rent has been kept so low by you. If you pay all the money again... Is this store run by you or by me? ?

The two argued about this for a long time, but it turned out that Bai Ye paid the money, but Xiao Ran would pay the IOU, including all the previous expenses in Jiankang City, as well as the money for the ivory cup and the new set of clothes that Mr. He gave for his birthday, but Bai Ye No more interest will be calculated.

Not to mention Bai Ye's initial depression, he was happy again when he really wanted to.

It's impossible for that ivory cup alone to have ten thousand taels of silver. For the bookstore that Xiao Ran wants to open, it will take a long time to make up 1 taels of silver...

Bai Ye was happy alone at the time, Xiao Ran, you just turned a corner and sold yourself to me, do you know that?
