When Tang Mubai approached the dining room under the leadership of his servants, he saw Xiao Ran in white clothes standing by the table and looking at him with a smile, so the unfinished grievances from last night resurfaced, and he quickly stepped forward and threw himself into Xiao Ran's arms.

"Brother Xiao, I saw you!"

But just a few steps away, he stretched out a hand from the side and stopped him. "How old are you, and you still act like a child at every turn, and you are not afraid of being laughed at when you say it?"

You don't need to look to know, it's that wicked Bai Ye again!Tang Mubai angrily wanted to push Bai Ye's hand away, but of course he couldn't do so, so he could only raise his head and say to Xiao Ran: "Brother Xiao, we meet again after a long time, why is Brother Bai obstructing me in every possible way to get close to you!"

Xiao Ran raised his head and was about to say something, when he saw Bai Ye put his hand on his earlobe and smiled strangely, so his face turned red before he knew it, and he couldn't say anything.

At this moment, Tang Longzhen, who had been standing behind with Li Yunfei, smiled and stepped forward to hold Tang Mubai. "Okay, Mu Bai, if you continue to make trouble, it will really make Brother Bai a joke. Brother Bai, Mu Bai is young, if you offend me, please forgive me."

Xiao Ran has recovered his mind now, seeing what Tang Long really said, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Bai Ye and Mu Bai are playing around, why do you even take it seriously, Brother Tang?"

So he took the initiative to stretch out his hand to hold Mu Bai, and waved to Li Yunfei who was standing behind. "Little Tang, Yunfei, come and sit down."

Everyone took their seats one by one, Xiao Ran served a bowl of porridge for Bai Ye first, followed by Tang Longzhen, and then Tang Mubai.When it was time to serve Li Yunfei, Li Yunfei stood up and took the porridge spoon. "Brother Xiao, why do you have to be so polite between us? If you serve it for me, I still have to return a bowl to you. Why don't I serve my own."

After filling a bowl, he handed it to Xiao Ran. "But having said that, Yunfei should be more respectful when he is visiting your house now."

Xiao Ran had no choice but to accept it with a smile, and said: "In the past, I thought Yun Fei was the most honest and honest person, how could you know that you have only seen me for a few months, and you still play tricks on me, an honest person."

Li Yunfei smiled elegantly. "Brother Xiao was joking, where did the joke come from. It's just that you have been so polite, Brother Xiao, it would seem unfamiliar."

"Brother Xiao, then, what are we going to do after dinner? Go to your bookstore?" Tang Mubai has always been the object of care, and he didn't know what Xiao Ran and Li Yunfei were being polite at this moment, so he drank two mouthfuls of porridge He gnawed on a frankincense melon and asked vaguely.

"The bookstore is for scholars, what can you see when you go? You brother Xiao won't go to the store today, and will accompany you to the city later." Bai Ye naturally gave Xiao Ran a chopstick of pickles first, urging Xiao Ran started to eat, and then answered for Xiao Ran.

"Really? Ha! That's great! I heard that Wuzhou City is rich in snacks. Brother Xiao, you must accompany me!" Tang Mubai smiled happily, and the speed of drinking porridge accelerated by three points.

"The snacks in the city are indeed unique. They are tastes that we can't get there. But snacks can be found everywhere. There is a Qingyun Palace in the city, and the incense is at its peak. Today is the fifteenth day, so you can go there to offer incense, and you can also visit the palace. The temple fair at the gate, Mubai, this is rare and lively." Tang Longzhen poured another bowl of porridge for Tang Mubai, smiled, and raised his eyes to see Bai Ye looking at him.

He returned the gift with a faint smile.

"I've never liked things like burning incense and entering the Buddha. I want to go to Brother Xiao's bookstore to see if there are any new books published recently." Li Yunfei shook his head and refused to go with him.

Bai Ye was noncommittal, and what's more, he also didn't welcome Li Yunfei - in fact, in his eyes, there was no one on this table who was pleasing to the eye except Xiao Ran.

Of course Xiao Ran didn't want Li Yunfei to place an order, so he wanted to speak, but it was Tang Longzhen who said first: "Well, I happened to leave something in the store yesterday, so I will accompany Yunfei to the bookstore, you guys take Mu Bai to play .”

"Oh, brother Li, the bookstore can't escape! How about this, let's go to the bookstore first to get the things that brother left behind, and then go to Qingyun Palace together, okay?" Tang Mubai was not happy when he heard that the staff was about to disperse, Got up and ran to Li Yunfei's side, shaking his sleeves and coquettishly said: "Let's go together, it's lively when there are many people! If you have a book you want to read, why don't Brother Xiao let you bring it back and read it?"

While talking, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Ran: "Brother Xiao, you won't be so stingy that you don't want Brother Li to take the book away, right?"

"Of course not!" Xiao Ran hurriedly said, before the words fell, Bai Ye also answered.

"If you pay, it doesn't matter how he wants to take it away. The store also offers door-to-door delivery."

"Don't listen to your big brother Bai's nonsense... Yunfei, Mu Bai is right, is it crowded when there are many people? What do you like to read when you go to the bookstore, I will have someone bring it back to your room, and you can read it when you come back " Li Yunfei happened to be sitting next to Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran also held Li Yunfei's hand and said.

So, it was settled.

Now that they said they were going out, Li Yunfei didn't say they were going to the bookstore, but went to Qingyun Palace first.

On the way, Tang Mubai pulled Li Yunfei and Xiao Ran who were close to him and ran ahead, looking here and there along the way, making Xiao Ran and Li Yunfei laugh at how long this man has been out, why is he still like a nobleman who doesn't care about world affairs, don't Let Mr. Tang misunderstand that they never take him everywhere.

Tang Mubai was gnawing on a stewed chicken foot, and he didn't care if the two of them laughed.

Tang Longzhen and Bai Ye didn't know who was interested first, and they gradually walked behind the three of them.

"My last brother, thanks to you for taking care of me." Tang Longzhen gently cupped his hands, thanking Bai Ye for taking care of Tang Mubai for some reason.But looking at his sincere face, it's not easy to make people think that this is just looking for something to say.

Bai Ye smiled casually. "Well, thank you for taking care of Xiao Ran during my absence."

The word "care" almost gnashed his teeth.

"...Brother Bai really has sincere friendship with Xiao Ran." Tang Long seemed to be feeling something, and sighed. "I'm really happy for Xiao Ran. It's his blessing to have a brother-in-law like this."

"Hmph." Bai Ye looked at Xiao Ran's back and said nothing.

"By the way, Brother Bai, did you hear about the strange incident that happened to Xiao Ran and I the night before yesterday?"

"Well, a servant told me as soon as I came back. I heard that you were there at the time, Young Master Tang. I don't know what you think?" Bai Ye looked up at Xiao Ran who was not far away, and made sure that Yuxi was following him. , and then asked with a smile and a serious look.

Tang Longzhen also slowed down his pace. "I didn't want to scare Xiao Ran the night before, but it was indeed somewhat similar to the legendary ghost. It came and went without a trace, and the voice was vague and erratic. It felt spooky and terrifying. So last night someone persuaded Xiao Ran to come to Qingyun Palace today. Ask for a talisman, whether it is really capable of suppressing evil or reassuring, I think it is good."

Bai Ye nodded. "I've never heard anyone talk about this before, and I don't know that what you met the night before yesterday was just a coincidence, and you will still be entangled like the previous family."

"Oh? Has this happened to your family before?"

Bai Ye briefly talked about the Jia family's affairs that he had heard from Leng Fengyin before, and finally said: "The Jia family can only move away with the whole family because of the evil, but I, Bai Ye, am not Master Jia. Whether the offender is a person or something else, whoever offends me will not be forgiven lightly."

Tang Long really didn't ignore the flash of murderous intent in Bai Ye's eyes, he passed by his neck like a sharp weapon, he took a step back unconsciously, cold sweat slipped down his back.

After he regained his composure, Fang said with a smile, "Brother Bai is so handsome, even if it is really a monster, I feel a little sympathetic for it."

"Brother Tang, is the heart of a Bodhisattva? This is completely different from the rumors!" Bai Ye pursed his lips and smiled.Tang Longzhen was not an unknown person, and his name was like a thunderbolt in the rivers and lakes. How could Bai Ye know nothing about it.

What's more, the two met once many years ago. At that time, Tang Long's calmness, foresight and foresight also left a deep impression on Bai Ye. How can he be so kind and accommodating as he is now?

Bai Ye believed in his heart that Tang Long really wanted something from him, but what could he ask for?Could it be that he wanted to go his own way to please Xiao Ran?

Thinking about this possibility, Bai Ye couldn't help frowning.

"Mu Bai said last night that he hasn't seen Xiao Ran for a long time, and he wants to stay here for a few days before leaving. It seems that Brother Bai, we brothers will bother you for a while."

What?Do you want to stay?

...But Bai Ye couldn't refuse, the two of the Tang family were Xiao Ran's friends, he dared to tell Xiao Ran, I don't like them and you let them go?He could only grit his teeth and forced a smile: "I don't dare to bother you, but as long as Xiao Ran has no objection, it doesn't matter to me. Then, where is that Li Yunfei?"

Tang Longzhen's eyes flashed, and Bai Ye immediately noticed it, but he didn't understand for a moment that it was related to him. He only heard Tang Longzhen laughed and said, "Yunfei? If there is no accident, Yunfei will leave with us."

Hmm... there seems to be something strange?Bai Ye seemed to have noticed something, but didn't think much about it.He didn't want to know anything about them, as long as he knew, these three people would leave at that time, and it would be good not to disturb the world of two of him and Xiao Ran.

Hmph, if he dared not leave, he wouldn't let them live like this - Bai Ye had already made up his mind.

At this moment, Qingyun Palace is close at hand, Bai Ye and Tang Longzhen followed the three people in front into the palace, waited for them to worship the gods, waited for Xiao Ran to ask for amulets, and they went to the temple fair in front of the palace gate to eat some Special snacks.By the afternoon, Mu Bai seemed a little tired, rubbing his eyes and yawning non-stop, seeing Xiao Ran, he asked Huxi to go to the outer street and call for a soft sedan.

It was a festival, and the sedan chairs on the road were extremely difficult to pull. After waiting for a long time, they only stopped three. The sedan chair goes back to the bookstore for a rest, and in the evening, we will go to a restaurant to have a special meal together.

Both Xiao Ran and Li Yunfei said that it can't be like this, no matter what, we can't sit in a sedan chair and you can walk.

If Xiao Ran was really going to be stubborn, Bai Ye would always give up three points, not to mention how could Bai Ye be willing to let Xiao Ran argue with him about things for his own sake with a tired face?

He directly pulled Xiao Ran into the sedan chair together, suppressing Xiao Ran who was about to get out of the sedan chair, Bai Ye lifted the curtain and smiled at Tang Longzhen and the three of them: "Well, let's just squeeze, anyway, it's not far away, Mr. Tang and us Don't be too polite to reject the two people's wishes."

Regardless of how the three of the remaining two sedan chairs were going to be divided, Bai Ye first ordered his own sedan chair bearer to start after signaling to the pleasant to stay for a while to lead the way.

In the small space, Xiao Ran unconsciously moved closer to the side, his eyes drifted aside, but he didn't look at Bai Ye who was so close to him.

Bai Ye laughed happily, taking advantage of the shaking of the sedan chair to get closer to Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran was ashamed at this meeting, because of what happened in the morning, how dare he get close to him today?

Thinking of the morning, Bai Ye couldn't help laughing.
