Looking at the person walking towards him, nodding to him and saying hello, then passing by, a trace of hesitation and entanglement flashed in his eyes, and his mind was filled with the content of the phone call just now.

Chu Xingchen finally couldn't hold back and said: "Comrade Qi."

The voice coming from behind made Qi Muze pause. After struggling for two seconds, he turned back: "Is something wrong, Comrade Chu?"

Chu Xingchen nodded and got straight to the point: "Let me tell you about Jiang Tao next week."

Qi Muche lowered his head, his face dark and unclear. After a while, he smiled: "Zhou Jiangtao? What does it have to do with me?"

Chu Xingchen stared at him for a while and sneered: "It's best to have nothing to do with you."

Neither of them was talking, they just stared at each other, as if they were competing for something.

A few minutes later, Qi Muze took the lead and withdrew his gaze: "Zhou Jiangtao did look for me."

Chu Xingchen hesitated for a moment: "I don't know what Zhou Jiangtao wants to do with you, but I can guess a little bit. I kindly remind you to stay away from him, so as not to be implicated later."

Qi Muze smiled lightly: "Why should I listen to you?"

Chu Xingchen:......

Come on, your good intentions are just like a donkey’s liver and lungs.

He didn't say anything else, turned around and left. However, before he took two steps, he was stopped by Qi Muze.

"Why are you telling me this?"

Why? Chu Xingchen smiled: "You clearly know, so why bother asking again and again."

Qi Muze suddenly gritted his teeth: "Chu Xingchen, you are really annoying."

He continued: "Then you also know what I want, and Zhou Jiangtao or the Zhou family may be able to help me, so why should I refuse?"

Chu Xingchen said firmly: "But you didn't agree, right?"

Qi Muze:......

He said word by word: "But I didn't refuse, maybe I agreed after thinking about it for two days?"

Chu Xingchen shrugged indifferently: "It's your freedom to agree or not, provided that you can bear the consequences."

He stared at him: "You should know that others can't take away what belongs to you, and it's useless for you to take away what doesn't belong to you."

Qi Muze was a little angry: "What qualifications do you have to say such a thing? It was obviously you who took her away."

Chu Xingchen was silent. What happened back then seemed to be true to outsiders, but how could these outsiders know the reason?

Qi Muze took a deep breath: "I don't like to owe others, especially you."

"For the sake of reminding me today, I will also tell you that Zhou Jiangtao is also here this afternoon. He is well prepared this time and his men are not weak. You should be careful about your own life."

"And protect her, Zhou Jiangtao is very likely to attack her."

When he said the last sentence, he couldn't help but glared at the person opposite him. In his opinion, this person had implicated his little girl.

Chu Xingchen nodded: "Okay, I understand."

It doesn’t matter if you come prepared, it’s not certain whether you can go back.

"Chu Xingchen, I will never give up."

Qi Muze left after leaving these words.

Chu Xingchen stared at his back and gritted his teeth. This guy was as annoying as ever.

When he got home, it was already dark. He reached out to push the courtyard door, but it didn't move. It was obvious that it was tied from the inside.

Chu Xingchen stood at the door and shouted: "Xiaoxiao."

Inside the house, Wang Xiaoxiao had already hid in the space. There was no electricity, and she was scared to be alone in the dark.

When she heard Chu Xingchen's shout, she came out, fumbled to find the flashlight on the kang, turned it on, and opened the door according to it.

The moment she saw the man, she felt relieved: "Why have you been gone for so long?"

Chu Xingchen helped her wrap up the clothes she was wearing casually, and then carried her into the house: "Something delayed me for a while."

He looked at the dark room and was a little confused: "Why don't you light the lamp?"

Wang Xiaoxiao said in a dull voice: "I couldn't find the light."

Chu Xingchen's heart ached suddenly. He hugged her into his arms and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

He blamed himself in his heart, she was very afraid of the dark, and he failed to take good care of her when he brought her back.

Wang Xiaoxiao shook his head: "Have you gone to mom's place? Have you eaten?"

"I haven't gone. I haven't eaten yet. I'll check it out later."

Chu Xingchen hugged her for a while and then let go. He found the kerosene lamp with a flashlight and lit it with a match. Although the light was very dim, it was better than nothing.

"I'll go to town tomorrow to buy some candles and light them at night."

Candlelight is brighter than this.

Wang Xiaoxiao agreed. If conditions permit, she wants to be nice to herself: "Okay, buy more."

"Go and eat quickly. It'll be late. Mom and the others should go to bed."

Chu Xingchen was worried that she would be left alone: ​​"Can you accompany me there?"

Wang Xiaoxiao was a little lazy: "I don't want to walk."

Chu Xingchen chuckled: "Okay, I won't let you walk."

He hugged her sideways: "Is this okay?"

Wang Xiaoxiao secretly smiled and pretended to be reluctant: "Okay."

When she arrived at the door of the main house, she came down. Kisses and hugs were enough for the two of them in private. It was better to behave in front of the elders.

Rural people go to bed earlier. At this moment, only Zhou Ailian is still waiting. When she saw them coming, she went to the kitchen, and soon the food was served on the table.

"Xiaoxiao, do you want to eat more?"

Wang Xiaoxiao shook his head: "Mom, I'm not hungry, so I won't eat."

When Zhou Ailian heard this, she didn't force herself. She took a steamed apple and handed it to Wang Xiaoxiao: "It was steamed when the rice was hot. Try it and see if you like it?"

Wang Xiaoxiao took a bite and his eyes lit up: "I like it, it's delicious."

This was the first time she ate steamed apples, and she felt they tasted better than eating them directly.

Zhou Ailian smiled: "As long as you like it, I'll steam it for you tomorrow."

Wang Xiaoxiao ate apples and chatted with her mother-in-law about home affairs. After Chu Xingchen finished eating, the two went back.

As soon as he entered the door, Chu Xingchen went to the kitchen to boil water. On the way back, the little woman asked for a bath several times.

While he was boiling water, he found the bathtub and washed it twice. Then he carried it to the bedroom. He looked at the person huddled in the quilt and asked, "Is it okay to wash here? It's too cold in other rooms."

Wang Xiaoxiao replied: "Okay."

Conditions were limited, and it would be nice to be able to take a shower, so she didn’t choose.

After the water was boiled, Chu Xingchen added several buckets of water to the bathtub. He was afraid that the water would cool down too quickly, so he made the water temperature a little higher: "It's ready for washing."

Wang Xiaoxiao said "Yes", got up and got off the kang. When she was about to take off her clothes, she suddenly noticed something was wrong. Her eyes fell on the man who was still standing carelessly: "Chu Xingchen, I want to take a shower."

This driving tone is very strong.

Chu Xingchen pretended not to understand: "Well, you can wash it."
