A Real Man Isn't Afraid Of A Little Demon

Xie Xingmu looked down at him. Although his face was expressionless, Yu Chu understood that if he persisted, the money in his pocket might not be kept.

"Okay, just rent a house." He grumbled reluctantly, "It's really annoying."

Xie Xingmu didn't say anything else, he stood by the sidewalk and looked down at his phone.

"I'll just wait here for the car, you go in." Yu Chu said.

Xie Xingmu ignored him, and Yu Chu simply took out his phone to check.He didn't have anything interesting on his phone, so he clicked on WeChat to find Gundam's avatar, and sent his own Tuzki scratching the wall emoji.

After sending it, he took a sneak peek at Xie Xingmu from the corner of his eye, saw his thumb pointing, paused for a second, and flicked to the left, which should have opened the dialog box.

Yu Chu sent Zhang Tuoski's writhing expression again.

Xie Xingmu clicked it again with his thumb, paused for a second, and then moved it to the left.

Yu Chu began to post continuously.

Tuzki shakes, Tuzki twists his ass, Tuzki twists, Tuzki tears...

Xie Xingmu was reading the agency's news, but was constantly blocked by the WeChat notifications he sent, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, turned off his phone, and just looked at the vehicles on the street.

"I know this agent. I used to look for him when I bought a house. I have already told him to choose a location with convenient transportation. But you should also remember that when you look at the house, you should check whether the appliances are complete. It’s best to test it, lest some are broken. Smell the bathroom and kitchen carefully. If there is a peculiar smell, it’s not acceptable. The bed should be comfortable and soft. See if the bedding is not clean. If it’s not clean, go buy a new one yourself...”

Xie Xingmu kept telling Yu Chu, but looked at the front with cold eyes.

His sharp facial features matched with his tall stature exuded a ruthless aura, while Yu Chu beside him had a docile and soft temperament with exquisite facial features. He had a good temper at first glance, and even curled his mouth aggrieved.

The boy must have been bullied by those around him.

People passing by turned their heads frequently, but they didn't dare to meddle in their own business.

A taxi stopped in front of them, and the man sitting in the co-pilot poked his head out to say hello: "Thank you, team."

Xie Xingmu nodded to him, and said to Yu Chu, "Go."

Yu Chu walked to the back seat of the car, opened the door and got in the car.

As the taxi started, Yu Chu looked back from the window and saw Xie Xingmu turning around and walking towards the gate of the Public Security Bureau.He watched the figure disappear behind the wall before turning his head.

"Hello, my name is Chen Jun, what's my name?" the intermediary of the co-pilot turned around and asked with a smile on his face.

"My name is Yu Chu."

"Mr. Yu, Captain Xie has already told me your requirements for the house. Don't worry, I will definitely let you rent a house that you are satisfied with."

"Thank you." Yu Chu said.

The taxi stopped after driving for about 10 minutes. Chen Jun opened the car door and said, "Mr. Yu, we're here. Let's look at the houses nearby."

Yu Chu looked back and thought that this place was quite close to the Criminal Investigation Brigade, so he picked up his paper bag and got out of the car.

The first house that Chen Jun showed him was in the community behind him. The environment was good, the basic supporting facilities were complete, there were green plants everywhere, there were security guards at the gate, and the building was a new high-rise elevator residence.

Yu Chu followed him up to the 24th floor of a certain building and opened the door of one of the rooms.

The house has one bedroom and one living room. The decoration is very good, and the home appliances are brand new. Chen Jun enthusiastically introduced: "This young couple went abroad when they just got married, and the house is rented out to me. Look how good the environment is. There is a viewing balcony, and there is a living balcony at the back, where you can dry clothes and so on. Let’s look at the bedroom, although this house only has one bedroom and one living room, the room is spacious, and the bedroom is connected to a cloakroom..."

Yu Chu followed him to look around, and suddenly asked, "Is the rent expensive? I don't think I can afford it."

Chen Jun was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Didn't Captain Xie tell you? He will pay the rent, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Oh."

Yu Chu continued to follow Chen Jun, humming from time to time, but took out his mobile phone to find Xie Xingmu's WeChat, and sent a Tuzki frantically writhing emoji.

Xie Xingmu didn't reply to him, he waited for a few seconds and then turned off the phone.

Chen Jun led Yu Chu around the house, and asked, "Mr. Yu, what do you think of this house? Are you satisfied? To be honest, I originally reserved this house for my cousin. She will come to Shanghai in two days. I work in Yunshi, and I think this house is just right, if Team Xie hadn't said it, I definitely wouldn't bring anyone to see it."

Yu Chu replied noncommittally: "Not bad."

There was indeed nothing wrong with this house, and it was quite suitable to live alone, but he felt that he would not be able to stay in Haiyun City for long, so he didn't care too much about the house.

Chen Jun saw that his attitude was a little careless, although his face did not show it, he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, so he walked to the living balcony at the back and said, "Look at the back, a large lawn, with a wide view and unobstructed view Yes, where can I find such a nice house?"

Yu Chu walked over according to her words, and looked out along the balcony.

Sure enough, there is a lawn in the back, not very big, but full of greenery, and there is a depression in the middle that has accumulated rainwater, forming a small natural lake, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.

"When you have nothing to do, just look at the greenery. The lawn is very clean. I visited it last time when I accompanied a client to see a house. It is also covered with dandelions. It is a rare piece of natural pure land in this busy city." Chen Jun looked at it. Seeing Yu Chu staring there fixedly, he said with some complacency.

When Yu Chu saw the lawn for the first time, his heart skipped a beat, especially when he heard Chen Jun mention dandelions, his expression became dazed.

Next to a certain bridge hole where he lived when he was a child, there was such a large piece of lawn covered with dandelions.On a warm sunny day, when the breeze blows, the small umbrellas fly around and fall on the face fluffy...

"Is there anything in that house that can be rented?" He stretched out his finger and asked Chen Jun.

Chen Jun followed his fingers to look out, he was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Where do you want to rent a house?"

On the edge of the lawn, there is a large area of ​​gray low-rise buildings, all of which are five stories high, and the original color of the blue brick walls cannot be seen.It was the family courtyard of a certain state-owned enterprise in the early years. After the state-owned enterprise declined, the house became more and more old, and the people who lived in it changed wave after wave. Those who can only make ends meet.

"Yeah, it's not bad there." Yu Chu said.

That piece of house is next to the lawn, if you bask in the sun on the balcony, there will be dandelions floating on your face.

"But, but..." Chen Jun stuttered and couldn't speak, "Mr. Yu, if you are worried about the rent, I have already said it. Captain Xie said he will pay for it for you."

"The rent there will be much cheaper, right? I'll save some money for him." Yu Chu turned his head and smiled sweetly at him.

.

Three hours later, Yu Chu sat on the balcony of her newly rented house and looked outside.There are several empty cardboard boxes piled up at one end of the balcony, and there is dripping water falling in front of it, which is the clothes that people upstairs hang out to dry.

The house is not big, only around fifty square meters. Fortunately, there are all kinds of furniture, and the kitchen is complete with pots and pans. Chen Jun followed Xie Xingmu's instructions and went out to the community to buy him a new bedding. Then he said goodbye and left.

The children downstairs were chasing after them, and they were yelled at by the women who were drying their clothes. At the stairway, someone was carrying a gas tank on his back, yelling, "Come on, come on, let me go."

Yu Chu kept lying on the balcony and looking down, until those who had eaten returned to the house, and the children were chased home by the adults. Only then did he realize that it was already dark, and his stomach began to feel hungry.

He returned to the house, ready to go out to buy some things and come back to fill the refrigerator, and the basic daily necessities such as shampoo and shower gel should also be prepared.

Yu Chu went directly to the supermarket to buy things. After choosing the daily necessities, she stopped in front of the vegetable section.

He has never cooked for himself, but now he has to, and he has to go out to find a job tomorrow, or the money will run out soon.

When he got home, he sorted all the items into the refrigerator, washed the rice and put it in the rice cooker, and then took out his mobile phone to search how much water to add to the rice.

The rice was finally cooked, and he started to deal with the piece of beef on the cutting board. Although he hadn't cut any vegetables before, his hand holding the knife was steady, and he quickly cut the beef into cubes of the same size.

He wanted to make a stir-fried diced beef. This shouldn't be difficult. The diced beef is fried with corn and peas. There are meat and vegetables. This one dish is enough.

After he prepared all the ingredients according to the recipe on the phone, he started to face the phone screen.

How is it called the right amount?How little is a little?How much is a spoonful?How big is the spoon?Is the spoon head a deep one or a pinch shallow?

Yu Chu looked at it for a while, and finally turned off the phone, forget it, let's figure it out.

Half an hour later, he was rinsing his mouth by the kitchen sink, and the fried diced beef he just made was lying in the trash can next to him, mixed with a pile of corn and peas.It's all black and yellow, and you can't see the original color.

Looking at half of the diced beef left on the cutting board, he could just eat plain rice if he wanted to, or make do with some soy sauce.

As soon as he picked up the rice cooker, he heard a ding from his mobile phone, and someone was sending him a message on WeChat.

Yu Chu didn't think that other than Xie Xingmu, there would be anyone else who would contact him via WeChat, so he put down the rice cooker and picked up the cell phone that was attached to the cooking table.

The message was indeed sent by Xie Xingmu: What are you doing?

Yu Chu: Nothing.

Xie Xingmu: Have you eaten yet?

Yu Chu: Not yet.

Xie Xingmu was standing in front of the cooking table with his apron tied, looking at the water in the pot while sending messages.He was making dinner for Duoduo, and suddenly remembered this time, and wondered if Yu Chu had eaten.It was just a thought that popped up suddenly, but the more I thought about it, the more worried I became, so I just sent a message to ask.

In fact, he hesitated at the moment of typing, but he still clicked send with a move of his finger, and in just two or three seconds, the other side replied to the message.

After seeing that there were not two words in Yu Chu's reply, he paused with his fingers, and then sent a long string.

Xie Xingmu: Why haven't you eaten yet?It's already seven o'clock, go out and find a restaurant to eat, or order a takeaway on your mobile phone.

Yu Chu walked out of the kitchen slowly, sat down on the broken sofa in the living room, and replied: I don't want to go out to eat, and I don't want to order takeaway.

After this message was sent, he saw that the other party's status had been inputting. Half a minute later, a long message appeared on the screen.

Xie Xingmu: If you don't want to go out, you don't order takeaway. Do you want to be a fairy?Today Chen Jun obviously found a good house for you, but you chose to live in a crappy house.At first, the security of the community was good, and the annual fire inspections were all passed. The elevator had never had any problems. The house faced north and south, and the furniture and electrical decoration were all good.But you choose the community by yourself, there is no security, the surveillance system has dead spots, and the environment is not good.I just want to ask, what are you thinking?

After Xie Xingmu finished sending this message, he threw his phone on the cooking table with a sullen face, turned his head and shouted: "Duo Duo, it's time to eat."

He still had the mood of talking to Yu Chu, and subconsciously raised his voice.

Duoduo was sitting on the carpet in front of the TV watching cartoons, when he heard this, he turned around and said, "Why are you so fierce?"

"I'm not fierce." Xie Xingmu said.

"You still say no? Look, you're being fierce again." Duoduo turned back and continued watching TV, "My heart is hurt, so I won't eat for now."

The cartoon on TV hadn't ended yet, so he didn't want to go to dinner now.

Xie Xingmu brought the fried dishes one by one to the restaurant connected to the kitchen, and put them on the dining table. When he turned around, his phone rang again, which was a message from Yu Chu.

He didn't have time to look at it, but when he was serving the dishes, he accidentally glanced at the screen, and found that this time it was actually a picture.

Xie Xingmu finally put down the plate, picked up the phone, and clicked on the picture.This should be taken by Yu Chu with his mobile phone. The light is not very good, and the shooting technique is not good. All he can see is a trash can with a plastic bag on the tiled floor at the edge of the picture.

He zoomed in on the picture and found that there were discarded vegetables inside.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Xie Xingmu's lips, and he replied directly: "Are you cooking?"

Yu Chu also returned the voice, only a short voice: "En."

Although it was just a hum, it made Xie Xingmu feel a little bit wronged for no reason, the smile on his face deepened, but the voice he uttered was flat and emotionless: "Didn't make it?"

Yu Chu said yes again.

Xie Xingmu said to the screen, "Wait a minute." After finishing speaking, he put down the phone, brought the remaining two dishes and a bowl of soup to the dining table, and put rice in the bowl that Duo Duo usually used for eating, Going to the coffee table again, he turned off the TV with the remote control.

Duoduo, who was sitting on the carpet watching vigorously, let out a cry of surprise, then turned his head, and saw Xie Xingmu staring at him warningly, holding the TV remote control in his hand.

Duoduo understands that as long as his uncle shows this expression, there is no room for negotiation in everything, and he no longer insists on watching TV. He gets up from the ground and trots to the dining table.

"Wash your hands first." Xie Xingmu said behind him.

Duoduo turned back and ran to the bathroom.

After Duoduo came to the table and started to eat, Xie Xingmu went to the kitchen and sent Yu Chu a video request.

Yu Chu listened to Xie Xingmu asking him to wait a while, and then there was no news. After a moment of daze, Yu Chu was about to put down the phone when a video request popped up on the screen.

Looking at the enlarged portrait of Gundam, he hesitated for a few seconds before pressing on.

The other party obviously hadn't picked up the phone yet, so Yu Chu first saw a pink cat that was very close, with a pink bow tied on one ear.As the camera swayed upwards, he saw the words Tiantian Supermarket, and when he continued, Xie Xingmu's face appeared on the screen.

Xie Xingmu held the phone very low, and looked at his face at an upward angle, Yu Chu could see his protruding Adam's apple, sharp chin, drooping eyes and two nostrils.

From this strange point of view, this man is still handsome.

Xie Xingmu said: "You cook now, and I'll teach you right here."

Yu Chu froze for a moment: "You teach me?"

"Yes, you just need to point the lens at the pot."

Yu Chu hesitated and didn't move, Xie Xingmu held the camera a little higher and urged, "Go quickly."
