Gu Lang's tone was somewhat doting, which made Chen Xing feel embarrassed, he looked up at the man sitting behind the desk.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing with very gentle eyes, and even his tone of voice was extraordinarily gentle, "Why do you have such thoughts?"

Chen Xing listened to Gu Lang's question, and began to feel a little uncomfortable.

As for why she wanted to ask, Chen Xing himself couldn't say why. Perhaps in a secret corner of his heart, he was so persistent in wanting to know the answer, just to see if he had a special existence in Gu Lang's heart, special enough for Gu Lang to ignore his original principles.

Chen Xing's heart thumped, watching Gu Lang stand up in front of him, and walked in front of him step by step.

"Since you want to know, then I'll tell you." Gu Lang paused, his tone extremely cautious,

"I didn't tell the people around me about my likes and dislikes because it was a very dangerous thing." It was so dangerous that it would kill him if he was not careful.

"But now, I can tell you without reservation." Because you are special.

"I didn't lie to you." Except something you don't need to know.

"So, don't be unhappy." Don't look like that.

Chen Xing's heart skipped a beat, feeling the warmth of Gu Lang falling on his head. He raised his eyes to look at him, and directly bumped into the tenderness in Gu Lang's eyes.

In those gentle eyes, Chen Xing heard a light reply, "Yeah."

The splendid flowers that suddenly appeared on the sky were so fascinated that he couldn't take his eyes away.

Gu Lang looked at the obsession that gradually emerged in Chen Xing's eyes, and the smile on the corner of his lips became bigger and bigger. He was very satisfied with Chen Xing's current performance.

"In the future, if you have any questions, just ask me directly. As long as the person asking is you, I will tell you."

This was the last sentence Chen Xing remembered.

It wasn't until Chen Xing returned to the kitchen and stood by the stove that he suddenly came back to his senses, grabbed the radish on the table and shouted, "Ah—"

Chen Xing felt that he must have been very stupid just now. Not only did he stare at Gu Lang stupidly for a long time, but he didn't even understand what Gu Lang said at the end and came back. He didn't know what he said later, and how Gu Lang answered, but he was sure that his performance at that time must be stupid.

Qiu Jiu stared at Chen Xing who didn't know what was going on in the door, watching him frantically clutching his hair, the expression on his face was very subtle, and he didn't understand why he was going to rest. What happened in a while.

Qiu Jiu hesitated for a while, but withdrew the foot he was about to step in. He might come back to help later.

However, when Chen Xing saw the big white radish on the table, he couldn't help thinking of Gu Lang, and his face began to turn red again.

Although Chen Xing was a little out of shape today, it did not delay his cooking speed. After half an hour, he prepared two dishes and one soup for lunch today.

When Chen Xing saw Gu Lang sitting at the table, waiting for dinner, he thought of the scene of his shame in front of Gu Lang, and his ears reddened quietly.

Fortunately, Gu Lang didn't do anything special, it seemed that everything was normal, and Chen Xing gradually calmed down.

As soon as they sat down, Chen Xing suggested to Gu Lang, "I made tofu soup with eggs today, try it and see if it's delicious."

Chen Xing took Gu Lang's bowl and filled him half a bowl.

Gu Lang thanked Chen Xing, took a taste, raised his eyes and smiled at him, and praised sincerely, "It's delicious, not salty or bland, and the taste is just right."

Chen Xing immediately smiled like a kitten that stole a fish, with happiness written all over his face.

Qiu Jiu sat silently by the side, watching Chen Xing continue to serve the son, and his son sincerely praised Chen Xing's cooking skills after tasting it, and then Chen Xing's face changed again. Smile blossoms.

Qiu Jiu felt that there was an unspeakable atmosphere between the two of them, and there was absolutely no room for him to intervene.

After a meal, several people enjoyed it very much, especially when Chen Xing saw that Gu Lang really liked to eat what he made, the happiness on his face could not be concealed. living.

Gu Lang looked at him happy and showed a soft smile.

Chen Xing's good mood continued until the next day's booth.

When Chen Xing and Qiu Jiu went to the booth talking and laughing, they were immediately stunned when they saw the state of the booth.

I saw the shed that was originally built. The curtains on both sides seemed to have been cut with a knife, and they looked tattered. And the tables, chairs and benches in the shed were piled up in a mess, and it was obvious that most of them were missing arms and legs, and the middle of the table was cut off to leave a piece of space.

Chen Xing has been out for so long, and he has never encountered such a thing, and he still can't react for a while.

And Qiu Jiu is not as good-tempered as Chen Xing. The moment he saw those things being destroyed, his eyes immediately cooled down, and his whole body also exuded a wave of hostility. Who had the guts to destroy this place when they weren't there.

After being stunned for a moment, Chen Xing quickly reacted again, pursed his lips, and greeted Qiu Jiudao next to him: "Let's clean up this place first, and think about it after we've sold out. way to find out what happened."

Qiu Jiu, who was still angry at first, quickly calmed down after hearing Chen Xing's words, and nodded at him to agree with him.

The degree is not serious, it can still be repaired, otherwise he will spend a lot of money.

Just as Chen Xing sighed and packed up with Qiu Jiu, a team of officials came towards them not far away.

Chen Xing subconsciously had a vigilant look on his face when he saw these uninvited officials.

The leading captain tried his best to squeeze a smile, trying to make himself look kinder. He looked at Chen Xing and asked, "Are you the boss of this stall?"

Chen Xing nodded hesitantly, seeing that he didn't seem to be looking for trouble.

The team leader saw that Chen Xing responded, the smile on his face became brighter, and he said with a bit of credit: "When we were patrolling last night, we saw someone smashing your booth, we They arrested all those people."

Chen Xing listened to his words and felt a little incredible. He was still annoyed just now who smashed his booth, but now he heard that those people were arrested.

The team leader looked at Chen Xing in shock and continued: "Now those people are in prison, do you want to go and see?"

Chen Xing felt that the team leader seemed a little too diligent, and he didn't know whether the ancient officials were so devoted to their duties, so he cautiously asked: "Can I see it?"

Hearing Chen Xing's question, the team leader slapped and said excitedly, "Of course you can watch it!"

After finishing speaking, under Chen Xing's puzzled eyes, the team leader also seemed to realize that his behavior was a little too attentive, he coughed, and his tone became a little colder, "You as a victim , of course you can see it.”

Chen Xing hesitated for a while, but almost nodded at the official in front of him. He also wanted to know who had a grudge against him, and actually treated him like this.

The leading official trotted over and muttered in the man's ear, and then Chen Xing saw the man's gaze sweeping around him and Qiu Jiu.

Soon, the man strode over, looked at Chen Xing and said politely, "I am the master here, Xu Ya."

Hearing his position, Chen Xing was surprised and a little cautious, and whispered to him: "Master Xu, hello."

Master Xu looked at Chen Xing's restrained appearance, didn't know what to think, he gave him a kind smile and said, "Young master is here to see the prisoner? Please come with me."

Chen Xing nodded and followed him into the prison door.

As soon as she entered, Chen Xing felt a chill and shivered.

After following the master to a cell and looking at the four **** people lying inside, he was even more shocked.

The master looked at Chen Xing's eyes wide in horror, smiled at him soothingly, and said softly: "Master, don't be afraid, this injury only looks serious, but it's just some flesh wounds. ."

Chen Xing pursed his lips and did not speak.

The master didn't get angry when he saw that he didn't answer, and continued: "These four people were caught on the spot when they smashed your booth yesterday, what do you want to do with the son?"

Chen Xing hesitated for a moment, looked at him and asked hesitantly, "How did you deal with it in the past?"

We can cooperate if we have other ideas.”

As soon as Chen Xing heard the second half of his sentence, he subconsciously felt that they just wanted to bribe them, he quickly shook his head and said directly: "Just follow your regulations! They have already been beaten. Now that this is the case, there is no need to pursue it.”

The master obviously did not expect that he would say such a thing. After Chen Xing finished speaking, his face was stunned for a moment, but it soon returned to normal, but there was still some doubts in his expression, " Well, since the son wants to do this, then we will do as the son said."

Just when the master was about to invite Chen Xing out, Chen Xing suddenly thought of something and asked hesitantly, "Can I ask them a few questions?"

Master Xu smiled at him, "Of course."

Until Chen Xing came out of the cell, he felt that the people in the yamen were too polite, and even promised him that they would send it to him after getting the compensation.

Chen Xing looked back at the tall yamen plaque, and whispered to Qiu Jiu next to him: "Do the officials here love the people like children?"

Hearing Chen Xing's question, Qiu Jiu turned to look at Chen Xing, who was full of confusion, with mixed feelings in his heart, and finally looked at him and said, "The new county magistrate is a good officer."

Hearing this, Chen Xing nodded and agreed: "He can teach all the officials under his command so well, he is indeed a good official."

But soon, Chen Xing began to get annoyed with another thing, that is, he had just learned from the mouths of those hooligans who could not speak clearly why they were going to smash him The stalls, and also know who instructed them to do it.

It's just that Chen Xing has never heard of that person at all, let alone what she has had with that person, and she has absolutely no idea why she did that. And the most important point, he now knows who did it, so what to do next is also a question.

Chen Xing struggled all the way back to the small stall, and as soon as he passed, he saw a group of people around the stall, including a few familiar faces, who often came to him on weekdays Diners shopping here.

Seeing that they were all waiting at the door of the stall, Chen Xing quickened his pace.

Those people watched Chen Xing come over, and Auntie Sheng, who was in the front row, shouted loudly, "Little boss, why are you here so late today?"

Hearing this familiar loud voice, Chen Xing knew that the person who came here was Auntie Sheng who often came to him to buy food. He repeatedly said, "Sorry, I was delayed for a while because of something."

When the aunt Sheng heard his words, she raised her voice and said, "We've been waiting for you here for so long, you have to give us more later."

Chen Xing felt that although Auntie Sheng likes to take advantage of a little bit on weekdays, she is not bad, so after hearing her words, she replied with a good temper: "Okay, I I'll call you some more today."

He called out, "Boss, what's going on in your shed?"

Chen Xing handed Auntie Sheng what she wanted, and said helplessly: "It's just like this today, I haven't had time to clean it up, I'll make you laugh."

The aunt Sheng looked at the good-natured Chen Xing, patted her thigh, and complained for him: "Oh, someone must see your business is good, so they are jealous and make trouble. Don't worry. Well, there are so many of us, we must catch you who did it, and help you get justice."

Chen Xing looked at Auntie Sheng's indignant look, but felt that she was a little cute at this time, he looked at her and smiled, and said softly: "I haven't been here for a long time, there is no Auntie You can only trouble auntie with your ability."

Don't worry, I will find you who moved your booth."

However, Auntie Sheng's generosity only lasted for a few seconds, and soon she showed her usual shrewd look, looking at Chen Xing and said: "Then I will help you find someone, I will buy things later When it's time, you have to call me a little more!"

Chen Xing looked at her doing good deeds and didn't forget to take advantage of her, and she was a little dumbfounded, "Auntie, don't worry! I will definitely give you more at that time."

Hearing this, Auntie Sheng finally left with the bowl in her heart.

After Mr. Sheng's mess, Chen Xing was not as depressed as before, he quickly adjusted his state, and tried to sell out all the ingredients for today.

I'm going somewhere."

Qiu Jiu was a little unclear, but looking at the cautious expression on Chen Xing's face, he nodded and agreed, "Okay."

After a quarter of an hour, Qiu Jiu looked at the dire restaurant opposite, and had some guesses about what they were doing this time.

As expected, when Qiu Jiu turned to look at Chen Xing next to him, he took a deep breath, then put on a serious expression, and strode towards the restaurant.

The Boss Qiao, who was originally entertaining customers and laughing at the door of the store, turned cold the moment he saw Chen Xing, and even his eyes became sharp.

"What are you doing here, we don't welcome you here."

Faced with Boss Qiao's sarcasm, Chen Xing didn't care much, and even laughed softly, with a bit of laziness in his tone,

"Yo, you are open to do business here, why don't you welcome guests? You don't have a few guests left here, and you have to drive people out. Do you still want to do business?"

Hearing Chen Xing's sarcasm, Boss Qiao's face became more and more difficult to look at, and his eyes seemed to be poisoned.

Chen Xing didn't seem to see her expression of wanting to eat people, walked slowly in front of her, stared at her ugly face, and sneered, "Boss Qiao I don't know, why am I here this time?"

Hearing Chen Xing's words, looking at this brother who was different from what she had known before, Boss Qiao subconsciously took a step back and insisted: "You are talking nonsense here. What? I said it just now, we don't welcome you here, get out of here now."

Chen Xing watched her tilt her head slightly, and asked with a bit of naivety in her tone: "Don't you want to know, where are the four people you called yesterday? "

Boss Qiao's eyes were a little flustered, and the high-cold breath that had been maintained on his face was broken a little bit, staring at Chen Xing's unsteady tone: "You, you are talking What, I have absolutely no idea."

Chen Xing looked at the panicked woman in front of her and continued: "They are all locked up in prison now. When I went to see them, they were being beaten to pieces."

When he said this, Chen Xing seemed to think of something funny, and even a strange brilliance appeared on his face.

Boss Qiao looked at him, the indifference on his face gradually became unbearable, and asked Chen Xing sharply: "What do you want to do?"

I want to tell you, I know what you did."

The woman's eyes were full of panic.

Chen Xing continued: "I also have the ability to do something to you, especially now that you don't have any backing."

The woman raised her head suddenly and looked at him with disbelief.

Chen Xing raised his eyebrows and said in a cold tone: "Whether you believe it or not, there is no next time for this matter. If there is a next time, I don't think I will let it go so easily. past you."

Chen Xing didn't wait for her next reaction, turned around and left.

Boss Qiao stared at the back of Chen Xing leaving, squeezed the handkerchief in his hand, and his face was full of horror, how could she not know that there was such a relationship behind Chen Xing.

Then she recalled that when she went to see Chen Xing that day, the officials who followed the line obediently, and the thugs who were caught on the spot yesterday, she still felt a little panic in her heart. She even began to feel fortunate that Chen Xing only knew that she had someone smash her booth, but she didn't know anything else.

Boss Qiao stared at the direction Chen Xing left, a little annoyed why she provoke Chen Xing because of jealousy, in case he hated her and came to trouble her later, she couldn't handle it at all. No, she has to think of a way.

I didn't know what I said at all, which made Boss Qiao instantly become like an ant on a hot pot. The ball was so angry that his waist suddenly loosened, and he let out a long sigh, "It was really dangerous just now!"

Qiu Jiu looked at the difference before and after Chen Xing, and asked hesitantly, "Chen Xing?"

Chen Xing turned his head to look at Qiu Jiu, his face lost the sharpness just now, and turned back to his usual gentle brother, he looked at Qiu Jiu and asked with bright eyes, "What do you think? How did I behave just now?"

Qiu Jiu was a little confused, but he nodded honestly, and praised: "Very good, I look stupid."

Hearing Qiu Jiu's words, Chen Xing touched his head a little embarrassedly, and said shyly: "That's good, I'm afraid I just screwed up."

Qiu Jiu looked at him with a strange tone, "You just..."

Chen Xing looked at him with a bright smile, showing small white teeth, and said cheerfully: "I pretended!"

Qiu Jiu's eyes were very complicated, she didn't expect Chen Xing to be such a Chen Xing.

Chen Xing seemed to be immersed in the success just now, and he was so excited that he couldn't stop. When he was about to arrive at Gu's residence, he suddenly thought of something, and looked at Qiu Jiudao with a strange expression next to him:

"When you go back, don't tell Gu Lang about this! He is not in good health, and saying these things will scare him."

Qiu Jiu looked at the innocent expression on Chen Xing's face, endured it for a long time, and finally choked out a word, "Yeah."

The author has something to say: Qiu Jiu: Because I know too much, I am about to suffer internal injuries.
