The villain is far from my CP!

When the girl was concentrating on writing and thinking, she couldn't hear any sound in her ears.

So much so that the guy in the house didn't even know when he left, let alone a faint greeting from outside the door.

"No, only the account book is too simple, we have to go to the field to investigate." Bai Qiao finally put down his pen and said to himself.

"Where does the girl go to investigate?" A familiar voice suddenly came from not far away.

"!" Bai Qiao was startled, and when he looked up, he saw Mr. Ru Yulang standing by the window with his hands behind his back, looking sideways at her.

It's the first month of the month now, but the days are still short and the nights are long. It's already dark outside the window.

Someone in the room added candles for her, but she didn't realize it.

The young man's face was hidden in the darkness of the room, only a pair of black eyes looking towards her reflected a few lights outside the window.

It seems a little...

Resentment.

Such eyes suddenly made her inexplicably dream back to the huge and fluffy Samoyed in her dream on New Year's Eve.

She nestled lazily in other people's fur, and the big dog's wet, black eyes just looked down at her, as if she was some kind of heartless master.

Bai Qiao shook his head lightly, expelling this inexplicable connection, but felt his ears burning for no reason.

——It seems like a guilty conscience.

Bai Qiao: "..."

No, how could she be guilty?If you want to say that you have a guilty conscience, it should be the person in front of you, right?

On New Year's Day, when the boss and the employees have fun together, he never showed up.

It's not even just New Year's Eve, since the last time the shopkeeper of Santang Medicine Store came to "thank you", she met him in the corridor in the early morning, and she hadn't seen him again for the whole first month.

Are you too worried about her?Or is it inconvenient for him to keep a close eye on the villains in the DPRK?still……

It couldn't be because she avoided him several times.

Inexplicably, Bai Qiao felt awkward.

He felt that it was right for Qi Changting to keep a distance from her, but he also felt that he was so indifferent all of a sudden, it was too cold-hearted.

She took the initiative to avoid him, isn't it just to let him come and do as usual?

When this fallacy fell, Baiqiao himself was a little ashamed and panicked.

Ugh……

The girl sighed softly in her heart, feeling that she was really hard to serve.

The girl was reflected in the lights, and all the changes on her face were reflected in the boy's eyes.

The corners of Qi Changting's lips pursed lightly, but the thoughts in his heart had nothing to do with Bai Qiao's.

He didn't show up for a whole month, and Bai Qiao didn't even look for him for a whole month.

It seemed that she really didn't remember anything that happened that night.

Of course, it's good not to remember, he hasn't figured out how to explain his Meng Lang behavior.

But that night she was the one who said she wanted, heck, she wanted that, and she said that she told the truth after drinking, so she must have had a fondness for him in her heart, so at least, let's be more enthusiastic!

But now it looks like that night was really just a dream of his own, and it shattered with a light poke.

It was precisely because of this thought that he was unwilling to show up in front of her for the entire first month. Today, he was finally mentally prepared, and the girl's reaction was as expected.

But he was not very happy again.

Sometimes Qi Changting himself couldn't figure out what he really wanted about Baiqiao.

One-sidedly treating him well, but not expecting him to give her a title?

Then he is too disgusting!

The young man took a deep breath, feeling that he was really hard to serve.

The silence in the room is like the red silk thread tied on the little finger of the old man. When it touches the sensitive skin of the neck, it makes people feel a little suffocated, but also strangely ambiguous.

Bai Qiao was restless, and finally opened his mouth after stumbling.

"Guanfang, maybe we need to recruit some new staff. The people who look at the accounts will be enough for now, but it's not enough to just look at the accounts, and we need to go to the shop to check on the spot." She tried to talk to Qi Changting about serious matters, and deliberately avoided Those eyes that seemed to have become more resentful.

Illusion, it must be an illusion, Baiqiao told himself.

"Well," the boy withdrew his gaze, and responded lightly, "Don't worry, girl, just post a notice to recruit people."

"Post up notices to recruit people?" Bai Qiao was taken aback when he heard this.

In Ganfang's shop, there are many case files of invisible people, and if you invite people in at will, you are not afraid of attracting wolves.

Moreover, his identity...

Bai Qiao knew that all the people in the shop were Qi Changting's confidantes, and he had to be cautious when he came here. If he directly invited people in, he would have to be even more cautious if he had strange eyes and ears.

Or even not coming at all.

That's exactly what she thought, so she specifically asked him for instructions and asked him to call some of his own people in, otherwise she would just discuss the matter of recruiting with Qi Tonghe.

"Why, is there any difficulty?" The boy finally left from the window, turned around, and took a step towards the girl.

Then he stopped at the moment when he realized that she wanted to back away, and looked over with heavy eyes.

Bai Qiao swallowed dryly, fingering Qi Tonghe's long agarwood table behind his back.

It's about the safety of the party and the hero, she thinks she should remind her, but if she really said that, will he think that she...

"No, I just feel that my secret technique of reading books is not easy to spread to other people." Baiqiao stammered out a reason, "If the spies from Shenghe Cabinet Workshop learn it, Qianfang may be at a loss at this stage." It's dangerous."

The room was silent for a long time, and Bai Qiao became more and more at a loss, always feeling that there were two eyes staring at her above her head.

As if to see her inside and out.

She couldn't help but want to raise her eyes, and suddenly there was a muffled laugh in the room.

"Oh, yes."

The young man obviously didn't smile, and the curvature of his lips didn't change a bit, but Bai Qiao could easily see traces of imperceptible joy in his eyes.

As the saying goes, half-hidden and half-revealed is the most attractive, and so is the boy's smile.

The candlelight and the moonlight outside the window were reflected together, causing Baiqiao to stare blankly for a moment.

Familiar scenes overlapped in the mind, and the eyes of the Samoyed in the dream overflowed with a tolerant and doting smile, and then his figure changed a little bit, becoming a handsome young man.

oh help.

Baiqiao numbly closed his eyes.

Last time I dreamed that the face of the heroine became my own, but this time I simply dreamed that the whole dog became the hero.

Is he a werewolf? !

Baiqiao's ears burned even worse, and he turned his eyes away and poked his neck and said, "Of course. This girl has already taken out all the things at the bottom of the box. If someone else seizes the opportunity, let me use my hands and brains to get the best of me." There is no other way."

Qi Changting reluctantly lowered the corners of his lips, nodded and said: "Young lady, in my eyes, is already capable of brains."

"but……"

The young man paused, his voice changed, and his tone suddenly showed an unprecedented sharpness.

Like a falcon soaring in the nine heavens, the silver wolf stands on the top of the cliff, silently overlooking the whole world, and the flies and dogs in between.

"Don't underestimate the girl."

"At least in this Eastern Capital, if I really want to hide something, even if the people in the Jiuzhong Palace want to covet it, it won't help."

If I really want to protect someone, even if the Heavenly King Laozi comes, I have to stay away.

As long as—that person doesn't take the initiative to leave.

The young man's eyes fell heavily on the girl who seemed to be dumbfounded, and then slightly turned his eyes away.

"So, girls can do whatever they want."

Qi Changting made his promise, but there is still a word hidden in his heart.

So, I will protect you.

So, you're not leaving, are you?

On the second day, news of Qianfang Cabinet Workshop came again from the market.

This time, I want to recruit a buddy, and the conditions given are not bad. Not only does it include board and lodging, but the monthly silver is a bit more than ordinary merchants.

Different shops have different ideas, but most of them are sour.

——Recruiting a buddy means that the business is big and there are not enough people.

It's only been a few months, and it's come to this point.

But the common people don't think much about it. There has been a lot of noise in Ganfang these days. They all know that this cabinet shop has a bright future, so they are eager to try it if they know a little bit of calculation.

Most of them are hawkers who set up stalls in the night market. They come and go in the wind and rain, and they dream that there will be a roof for the place where they do their work.

The notice was posted for three days, and Qi Tonghe personally led people to choose, but Baiqiao was still hidden behind the screen.

In the end, Baiqiao decided on five men and two women, and Qi Changting's people went to investigate their backgrounds. In the end, only two men and two women remained.

Baiqiao is very satisfied with how many women can be found among the applicants.

Moreover, due to secular prejudice, these women often dare to try it when their ability is far superior to that of men.

Although Bai Qiao could tell from Qi Tonghe's face, if she hadn't been a woman, Qi Tonghe would definitely not have brought a woman into the cabinet shop.

But the thinking is solidified, and it is useless to reason. Only by using your ability to correct it a little bit is the right way.

Thinking of this, Bai Qiao couldn't help sighing secretly: It's better to be a male lead, and use talents in an eclectic manner.

"By the way, what happened to those three men?" Bai Qiao suddenly remembered this matter.

Could it be the real spy of Shenghe Cabinet Factory?

Qi Tonghe gave her a strange look, "It's not that, it's because those two are young and handsome, but they haven't married yet, so the young master just let it go."

Um?Does it matter?

Bai Qiao didn't understand the relationship between them for a while, but Qi Tonghe obviously didn't intend to explain in depth.

However, she watched Qi Tonghe focus on sorting out the kinship of those people, and even the portraits, sealed into a case file, and put them in a bag, as if she was going to show Qi Changting, and suddenly understood something.

Qi Changting said to let her recruit with confidence, so how could she really be unprepared?

It's probably because those three people don't have wives and children, so they can't handle their weaknesses, so they don't worry about them joining the party.

Bai Qiao thought he had grasped the truth, and he couldn't help but think of the promise made by the young man who showed his sharpness last night, also in this room.

And when he glanced over, he felt heavy and stable.

Probably it was because others couldn't give her peace of mind that she was always obsessed with it.

In this world, there are very few people who can communicate with her on the matter of Shang Yi.

On the other side, Qi Tonghe did take the pile of files and went to the Third Prince's Mansion along the narrow alleys.

In the familiar three-story pavilion, the young man was still standing by the window, looking at the uninhabited small courtyard, hearing the voice of people, and turning his head.

"Young master, it's all sorted out, and it's all here."

"Okay," the young man responded softly, "Thank you Uncle Qi."

In the past at this time, Qi Tonghe probably wanted to be polite, but today...

He remembered that the young man personally recognized the gentlemen that Bai Qiao pointed out, so he directly shaved off those three with extraordinary looks...

"Is there something else for Uncle Qi?" the boy asked.

"No, no more." Qi Tonghe resigned.

Tsk, still young at heart, that's great.

The author has something to say:

Baiqiao/Qi Changting: Oh, you are so hard to serve.

Qi Changting: But I like...

Baiqiao: Then I won’t serve you.

Qi Changting: ...? QAQ
