Although Xiao Ran was reluctant to set foot in Deyi Building, but now because he has a good relationship with Lou Lou and only enters and exits through the back door to avoid the noise in front, Xiao Ran's initial resistance is now very little left.

What's more, Louzhu Leng treats him like a kind and friendly elder, Canxing is like a younger brother who likes to act like a spoiled child, and Xiao Ran actually receives care like a family member in Deyilou.

Kong Yan waited for Bai Ye and Xiao Ran at the back door, walked in the door, walked through the back porch to the garden, and saw Canxing's small building, and also saw the long-awaited host Leng at the door of the small building.

"Tsk, it looks like a lover..." Xiao Ran heard Bai Ye muttering softly with a sour face, and patted him to stop him from talking nonsense. He quickly stepped forward and bowed to the host Leng. "Lord Lao, please wait, Xiao Ran is really sorry."

Leng Fengyin smiled and helped him up, his eyes drifted to Bai Ye who was following behind Xiao Ran intentionally or unintentionally. "Xiao Ran, you are so polite. You have been here so many times and you still talk about etiquette like this. You are not rude like others."

Bai Ye ate too much sweets today, he was in a good mood, and he didn't talk to him, he followed Leng Fengyin and Xiao Ran into the building.

As soon as he entered the wing room, Canxing, who was staring at the two servants Bucai together with Kong Yan, stepped forward with a smile when he saw Xiao Ran. "Xiao Ran, you are here. The landlord has been nagging me all afternoon, just talking about the weird things you encountered last time, and even ignored the previous business."

Leng Fengyin joked with Ren Canxing in a good temper, just dragged Xiao Ran into the inner room and sat down on the screen couch, took the tea cup brought by Kong Yan and put it on the table, then hurriedly asked: "I heard Kong Yan said that you What did you really see... something unclean?"

When he thought of the strange figure he saw last night, Xiao Ran's face turned pale. When Bai Ye saw him, he hurriedly sat down beside Xiao Ran and put his arms around Xiao Ran's shoulders, letting him lean on his body. Landlord, I didn't tell Kong Yan to scare Xiao Ran! You see, you scare Xiao Ran before you eat this meal, why, you hate him for eating too much?"

Seeing Li Ran's pale face and terrified eyes, Leng Fengyin knew he had made a slip of the tongue, so he asked Kong Yan to bring hot tea over to let Xiao Ran drink it to calm himself down, but Bai Ye snatched it and handed it carefully to him. Xiao Ran, let him hold it in both hands.

Leng Fengyin's eyes darkened for an instant, thoughtful.

Canxing behind him didn't see this, but only heard Bai Ye's laughing words, and came up to him and said with a smile: "Nonsense, the host is worried about Xiao Ran, and even ordered the cook to buy fresh carp stewed soup. Said to make up for Li Ran. I also found a free-range wild duck and cooked it in soy sauce, and said it would be used for Xiao Ran to calm down. How can you be so heartless as you, who only slander others. "

"Master Bai is just joking with me, Canxing, don't be rude."

Canxing secretly wrinkled his nose at Bai Ye to express his dissatisfaction, and he didn't know if Bai Ye saw it, at this time Xiao Ran also came back to his senses, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't believe it at first, but what I saw last night... ...That thing really made Xiao Ran uncertain."

He told what happened last night in detail, Leng Fengyin's expression changed, and Canxing was so scared that he went straight into Kong Yan's arms.

"At that time, I only knew that the rumors about Jia's mansion were rumored by others. How could I know that there were really some inexplicable things there. Xiao Ran, I think it's better to invite a Taoist priest to take a look?" Leng Fengyin frowned and worried. , took Xiao Ran's hand and said.

Bai Ye calmly stretched out his hand to cover Xiao Ran's hand which was held by Leng Fengyin, and said with a smile: "At that time, Jia's house invited quite a few, and all Taoists and monks were useless. But this matter really needs to be dealt with quickly. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Xiao Ran won't be able to sleep at night."

"Oh? Have you found anything?" Leng Fengyin asked with a gentle smile as if he didn't notice Bai Ye's actions just now.

"I know some clues, so there is no need for outsiders to scare the snake away. I guess, in the past two days, the other party must have taken some action." He took a sip from the teacup in Xiao Ran's hand, raised his eyebrows and spoke with confidence. , that look is truly heroic. "If there is no action, I will force them to show their feet."

"Oh?" Canxing was clever, and after a little thought, he said, "Could it be that some ghost is causing trouble, but someone is making trouble?"

"Well, hehe, I won't tell you, please ask me?" Although Bai Ye and Canxing had a dewy marriage, because of Xiao Ran's relationship, they couldn't be regarded as a match.Not to mention that Canxing and Bai Ye are always fighting against each other because of what happened two years ago, even now Bai Ye is not happy to see Canxing clinging to Xiao Ran so much.

"Then don't say it, don't say it, let's see that Xiao Ran can sleep peacefully tonight." Canxing snorted, he was not afraid that Bai Ye would not say anything.I was just curious, but Xiao Ran was the one who was really afraid of the incident!

Can Canxing not see how Bai Ye is taking care of Li Ran now?

Xiao Ran wasn't really ignorant either, after listening to Canxing's words and thinking about Bai Ye's words and actions since he knew about it, he understood a little bit in his heart, so he hurriedly asked: "If you really know something, just tell me Come out, what's the deal?"

Do you want me to be so surprised forever?

Bai Ye understood after seeing Li Ran's eyes, and hurriedly said: "Actually, this matter was confirmed just this afternoon. Xiao Ran, a servant suddenly came to the mansion a few days ago. I came to the door by myself and had to go into the mansion to do something. Manager Liu rejected this man and still stayed at the back door. I think such a strange thing just happened in the mansion, how can there be such a coincidence, This person must be weird."

"Heh, instead of letting the suspected person make trouble outside, it's better to recruit him into your house and be at ease under his nose. Mr. Bai, is that what you plan to do?" Leng Fengyin also heard the smell, and said with a smile .

Bai Ye nodded. "Well, I let him enter the mansion, and asked the manager to deliberately arrange for him to work in the backyard, keep him away from the yard that is said to be haunted, and then let people pay attention to his whereabouts. There is indeed something wrong with this person. Let man take care to approach that place which is now shunned by others."

"But what I saw last night really didn't look like a human being. If it was a living person, how could it disappear the moment I turned my head?" Xiao Ran thought for a while, shaking his head.He is not a superstitious believer in ghosts, but last night that person disappeared so strangely that he could not help but believe in the possibility of ghosts and gods.

"I've thought about this too, but I didn't tell you yesterday because you were frightened. In fact, I found traces of people's activities in that Zhulou, which should be uninhabited." He paused and said his own words. judgment. "I suspect that Zhu Lou is weird."

When he left the Deyi Building, the wind was already blowing.Bai Ye took the cloak from the second hand, shook it off, and stretched out his hand to put it on for Xiao Ran.

"I just told Kuixi to go back first, and asked the kitchen to prepare hot water. When we get home, you can take a shower and go to bed early."

Xiao Ran nodded, stretched out his hands to tighten his neckline, walked with his head down for a while before hesitantly said: "Tonight...you don't have to sleep with me, I think I'm fine by myself."

"Heh, I won't really force you to do anything..." Someone shamelessly acted as if he pressed her on the bed last night, this morning, and this afternoon just for a purely intimate chat. Well, maybe for him, what he has done There is still a big gap with what he wants to do. "You can let the No. [-] bedroom stay at night. If there is something to do, just call."

Xiao Ran responded, at this moment Shi Er called two sedan chairs, Bai Ye stopped talking, and the two got on the sedan chairs and went to Bai Mansion.

When he got home, Xiao Ran took a shower and was still wiping his wet hair. Bai Ye broke in without even knocking on the door. "Hey, Xiao Ran, I suddenly remembered that it's not long before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Well, what happened?"

"I want to eat the moon cakes you made." He took the cloth towel from Xiao Ran's hand, hooked a chair with his feet, sat down behind him and wiped his wet hair. "I remember you made it once. It was stuffed with red bean paste and some walnuts were added. It was delicious."

"It's been a long time, but you still remember it. What kind of moon cakes are they? It's just stuffing mixed in the dough. If you want to eat, I'll make it for you." Bai Ye's hands are slightly stronger than his own , but it doesn't hurt his scalp, it feels so comfortable that you want to close your eyes as if you are giving yourself a massage.

"If you don't find it troublesome, just make it for me once, I think it's delicious." Bai Ye slowed down his hands and let Xiao Ran lean back on the chair. "Tomorrow I will ask the cook to buy walnut kernels. I remember that when I took the first bite, I felt that it was very fragrant. You said that you put walnut kernels and lard. Xiao Ran, how can you be so handy?"

"The old lady in the family used to like to make these, and she made them even more delicately. I can only learn from the memories of the past. I remember that when she used to make them, she would also put dried shreds made of melon seeds and green apricots, If she can find fresh roses by chance, she will make them into shredded roses. The mooncakes made by my aunt are a little sweeter than mine, and she will put a lot of rock sugar, so that no matter how sweet they are, they will not make people feel bored. Dad used to go to find them on purpose. I have been to the stamper with the carvings of Chang'e flying to the moon and the jade rabbit worshiping the moon. At that time, I really felt that the mooncakes made by my mother were so delicate that I was reluctant to eat them. I really ate them, but I felt that my mother made too few..."

"The ones you ate are really too lazy for me. I really don't know what you like."

"Oh, you made it. When I ate it, I only thought it was delicious. When I couldn't eat it later, I thought about it. If I knew it, I would have hidden one."

"This kind of thing can't be left for a long time, otherwise it will lose its original fragrance. It's a good thing you can figure it out, and you have to hide one..." Xiao Ran laughed out of Bai Ye's words, his soft face was gentle under the candlelight Laughing made Bai Ye stunned for a while.

"Then this time, I have to eat a few more to satisfy my appetite..." His words were almost mumbled in his mouth, Xiao Ran opened his eyes in doubt, and then raised his head, meeting Bai Ye's focused eyes, Easy, can't move.

Bai Ye seemed to be tempted, and slowly lowered his head, Xiao Ran stared blankly at him getting closer and closer, and wanted to raise his hand to push him away, but before he moved, Bai Ye had already grabbed it.

Xiao Ran didn't think he could break free from this man, but if he really waited for him, he would definitely not want to kiss him, so he turned his head away.Seeing this, Bai Ye smiled wryly, and no longer thought about kissing Fangze, let go of Xiao Ran and helped him brush his hair again. "Xiao Ran, I will let Shi Er and Kuixi follow you these two days... But you should also pay attention to safety, I don't know how many of them there are, and where are the others... Oh, how about you and me Let's leave together for a few days? Let Liu Fu handle these matters, I really don't want to put you in danger!"

Xiao Ran was wondering why Bai Ye respected him so much, when he heard Bai Ye's words, he laughed. "No matter what, it's meaningless for them to attack me. Don't worry too much."

Bai Ye covered Xiao Ran's head with a cloth towel, and took advantage of his momentary panic to give him a firm hug through the back of the chair. "Fool, I'm just afraid that something will happen to you, and I won't even have time to regret it."
