Instant Noodle Tycoon [System]

After the Chinese New Year, Xia Jinyu and Ji Hantian brought many Jiangnan specialties to Prince An's Mansion.

After not seeing each other for a few months, Chu Lin found that he looked much thinner, but his spirit was better than when he left the capital. Looking at Ji Hantian next to him, who was full of eyes and only saw him, he felt somewhat relieved.

"This is the result of your own hard work, so you don't have to keep thanking me." Seeing him thank you, Chu Lin said.

Xia Jinyu glanced at the people beside her, changed the subject, and said, "I have no goals when he wakes up. If you don't mind, I'll be your big shopkeeper and sell instant noodles all over the country."

Although he didn't say it, Xia Jinyu, who had read many novels, couldn't guess that his golden finger was related to instant noodles, so he thought that he could only reciprocate in this regard.

"No need, just do what you want." Chu Lin who guessed his thoughts refused.

"He spends the most money. He has to drink the best wine and eat the best food. If you don't give me a job, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support the family." Xia Jinyu pointed at the person beside her Weep poorly.

The person who was disliked and difficult to support wanted to say that he was rich, but after being glared at him cryptically, he shut his mouth and lowered his head.

But then he thought that what he meant was that he was willing to support himself, and the person who didn't think it was a big deal to eat soft rice quietly raised his lips again.

Seeing the seriousness on his face, Chu Lin agreed after thinking about it.

Seeing that he agreed, Xia Jinyu took out the contract that he had prepared long ago and handed it over.

Chu Lin took it and glanced at it, saying that the salary he set himself was too low, and he should increase it.

Xia Jinyu, who had just set an amount at random, didn't think it was low, so she took a step back when she saw what he said, and signed a contract with him after adding a little bit of meaning.

Before, I was quite curious about whether the so-called rivers and lakes were really the same as those written in martial arts novels, but I had to take into account his emotions, but now Chu Lin can ask it with confidence.

Regarding Jianghu, Xia Jinyu didn't dare to say how much she knew, so she gave the person next to her a look and signaled him to talk about it.

Ji Hantian is the kind of person who looks gentle on the surface, but is indifferent in his bones, but now sitting here is not only his lover but also his savior. All kinds of stories of the rivers and lakes that have been experienced or heard.

The more he listened, the more Chu Lin felt that there were so many stalks that could be written into a martial arts book. He wanted to take out a small notebook and record them, and asked questions while listening.

"If you are interested, we can experience it for ourselves."

After the topic of Jianghu came to an end, Zhao Xudao, who didn't like his eyes lingering on outsiders.

"It's better not to, I can't stand fighting and killing." Chu Lin said very self-knowledge.

After chatting for a while, Xia Jinyu offered to leave, and Chu Lin asked them to stay.

Xia Jinyu doesn't care if it's just her, but thinking that the people around her probably won't like living here, she smiled and said, "You forgot that I bought a house in the capital."

"I haven't lived here for so long, have you cleaned it?" Chu Lin asked again, and after getting a positive answer, he didn't keep them anymore.

The good season when everything recovers is suitable for going out and playing, so Xia Jinyu often invites Chu Lin out for outings and horseback riding.

It was a sunny day with no clouds in the sky, Xia Jinyu asked someone to come over again and invited him to swim in the lake.

After the carriage of the Wangfu stopped by the lake, Xia Jinyu and the two who arrived for a while came over, watched Wang An come down first, and then stretched out his hands to help Chu Lin down.

After getting off the car, Chu Lin stretched out his hand to feel the sunshine: "The weather is really nice today."

"Indeed." Xia Jinyu nodded and led him towards the painting boat.

After several people sat down on the deck with tables and chairs at the bow, the boat rowed out from the pier.

Hearing the sound of the water fluctuating and enjoying the refreshing spring breeze, Chu Lin narrowed his eyes comfortably.

In this fine weather, they were not the only ones who came out to swim in the lake. There were also several large or small boats not far away.

The boat stopped in the middle of the lake, and Chu Lin, who enjoyed the scenery for a while, heard the faint music coming from nowhere, looked at the people beside him and said, "I want to hear you play the flute."

"Blow the flute?" Before Zhao Xu said anything, Xia Jinyu raised his eyebrows first.

Chu Lin, who didn't think much at first, met his expression and said speechlessly: "Can thoughts be less dirty?"

"How can you understand what I mean if you're not dirty?" Xia Jinyu laughed jokingly.

Zhao Xu, who didn't understand what they were trying to sell, interjected, "I'll send someone back to get the flute."

"No, I don't want to hear it anymore." Chu Lin waved his hand.

Xia Jinyu added: "There are pianos and other musical instruments on board."

"Let me play the piano with you?" Zhao Xu said while holding his hand.

Chu Lin, who had never heard him play the piano, nodded, held his hand instead and led him up into the cabin.

"Eat some fruit." Ji Hantian took a red fruit from the table, took a bite and thought it was quite sweet, then handed it to him.

"Is it sweet?" Even though she knew that he would not eat sour fruit, Xia Jinyu, who couldn't eat sour fruit at all, still asked, and only took it after getting an affirmative answer.

After a while, the melodious sound of the piano came from the cabin, revealing an indescribable lingering sound.

Chu Lin, who was sitting on the side, first felt that his posture in playing the piano was very beautiful, and then felt that the music he played was very nice. Slowly, he finally heard the affection contained in the music, and couldn't help but blushed.

When the song was over, Chu Lin, who felt that the lingering sound was still lingering, met his gaze and opened his eyes uncomfortably.

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Xu chuckled, then reached out and pulled him into his arms.

"Someone is here." There were only a few layers of light gauze on the door of the painting boat as a cover. Looking at the door, Chu Lin, who could vaguely see the people on the deck, pushed him on his chest, signaling him to let go of himself.

Zhao Xu hugged his waist, unmoved.

"We'll talk about what you want to do when you go back." Chu Lin said in a low voice, and patted his arm again.

"I just want to teach you how to play the piano."

Seeing his innocent expression, Chu Lin, who could clearly see a smile in his eyes, leaned over to nibble on his chin a little out of embarrassment.

The moderate force did not make Zhao Xu feel pain, but felt a little itchy. After letting him grind his teeth for a while, he lifted his face with his hands, and kissed his lips with his head down.

Feeling his arms wrap around him, Zhao Xu's heart warmed a little, and he deepened the kiss that was meant to be tasted.

For a moment, the two people who hugged each other could no longer hear the sound of water or wind outside, and only the sound of each other's more and more rapid breathing was beside their ears.

Knowing that even though he was obediently clinging to his arms at the moment, if he really did something, he would still be annoyed afterward, so Zhao Xu still restrained himself from ending the long kiss, and buried his face in his shoulder to calm down. Take a breath.

So, a good lake tour, in the end it turned into two lovers changing places for sweetness.

When it was time to return home, Xia Jinyu said goodbye.

Hearing that he meant to leave the capital, Chu Lin was surprised and chose to respect their choice, but——

"It's getting late, why don't you leave tomorrow?"

"It's okay, with him here, it doesn't matter when you leave." Xia Jinyu said while holding the hand of the person beside her.

After asking a few more questions, and knowing that he had even packed his things, Chu Lin didn't say anything, but sent the two of them out of the city together with Zhao Xu.

All the things that should be said have been said before. Before parting, Xia Jinyu hugged him with open arms, and said "thank you" in his ear.

On the second day after Xia Jinyu left, Zhou Heng came to Prince An's Mansion carrying a birdcage.

"General Zhou is going back to the frontier soon, why don't you spend more time with him in the mansion." Seeing him coming, Chu Lin was a little surprised.

"I'll be leaving the day after tomorrow." Zhou Heng, who had put the birdcage on the table, sat down.

"Then you still run outside?"

Zhou Heng didn't speak. He poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip before saying, "This time I'll go to the border with him."

This……

Chu Lin, who didn't know what to say for a moment, was silent for a while and then asked: "Your grandmother and the others are willing?"

"They agreed." Zhou Heng asked an unexpected question.

"Then go for it!" Chu Lin patted him on the shoulder seeing the man whose energy and spirit had changed from the first time he met.

Feeling that the atmosphere was getting a bit heavy by himself, Zhou Heng smiled, pointed to the pigeon in the cage and said, "This is General Gray, I brought it here for you to identify, and let it deliver a letter to you when I go to the frontier."

Zhou Heng has quite a few friends, but the one in front of him is the only one that allows him to speak his mind, so he specially thought of this method.

"It's so far away, can it really be delivered?" Chu Lin doubted as he stretched out his hand to tease the pigeons in the cage twice.

"It's definitely possible!" Zhou Heng was a little unhappy that he doubted his gray general.

While chatting and teasing the pigeons for a while, Zhou Heng, who saw Wang An coming, said, "Tomorrow they said they will hold a farewell banquet for me at Baiweilou, do you want to come?"

After he left, he didn't know when he would be able to come back. Naturally, Chu Lin couldn't refuse, so he nodded and asked, "Can you take someone there?"

"of course."

After confirming that he would go, Zhou Heng happily left with the birdcage.

The next day, Baiweilou.

Those who have a good relationship with Zhou Heng are basically the sons who love to play, and they are either playboys or people who walk on the road of playboys.

Hearing that Zhou Heng was going to leave them, he immediately decided to give him a good meal at the farewell banquet.

However, when they saw that King An was also present, these young masters had no choice but to put aside their thoughts of spoiling the water, and scolded Zhou Heng in their hearts for being so smart that he invited such a big Buddha.

It is impossible to cheat, so the people present honestly said their farewell words while drinking and eating.

Because he was not familiar with the people present, Chu Lin sat there and ate quietly except after giving gifts at the beginning.

Zhao Xu was originally here with him, so he naturally ignored the others. Since he wasn't very hungry, he just picked up some vegetables for him, or helped him add a bowl of soup.

Looking at the people here from the corner of the eye and seeing this scene, he couldn't help sighing in his heart, the rumors were indeed true.

Although they are a bit dandy, few of them are fools who were born in high families. Naturally, they know that having a good relationship with Wang An is good for both themselves and the family.

Seeing Wang An's face that was cold to others and gentle to the people around him, people who dare not communicate with him directly came to Chu Lin.

These people have no other skills, but being close to others is the best way to do it.

Chu Lin, who was still a bit reluctant to let go, listened to them talking about the things they usually play, and chatted with them after a while.

Seeing that he was interested, some people said that they could take him to play now.

Originally, they were planning to take Chu Lin to play dice or cricket fighting, but after being glanced at by Zhao Xu, they immediately changed their minds and said they were playing pot throwing.

This restaurant has already been booked, so there is no need to wait for someone to clean it up, and the group went directly to the lobby downstairs.

When they came down, some servants had already prepared the utensils for throwing pots.

"Master Chu, you come first."

Unable to refuse their kindness, Chu Lin took out an arrow from the quiver and tried to throw it. The arrow hit the mouth of the pot and fell to the ground.

"It's a good first shot." Seeing that he was a little embarrassed because he missed the shot, Zhao Xu boasted.

King An said so, and the others naturally agreed to save face.

Chu Lin, who was praised even though he missed the shot, pursed his lower lip, and refused to try again after missing another shot.

"I'll come, I'll come." Seeing that he stopped shooting and the others did not move, Zhou Heng stepped forward and took a few arrows in his hands.

"It's not the first time you play, you can't get so close."

"That's right, back up, back up!"

Seeing him play, the people around booed.

Zhou Heng stepped back a little as they wished, and then threw the arrows in his hand one by one, hitting all of them without exception.

Seeing that he had done so well, Chu Lin applauded and said, "That's amazing!"

The man who recovered from the applause looked at him and said, "Did you practice at home on Tuesday?"

"What do you think!" Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows proudly, and then asked who would play next.

Before anyone else could react, Zhao Xu had already walked over with an arrow.

Seeing that King An was about to play, Zhou Heng gave up his position, and took out the arrow he had shot from the pot by the way.

Chu Lin first wondered why he only held one arrow. When he saw the arrow in his hand throw it into the pot, jump back into his hand and throw it back into the pot again, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Just now Zhou Heng's Quanhu was already very powerful, and seeing Wang An's wonderful arrow, the people present applauded sincerely.

"How did you do it?" After he stopped, Chu Lin came over.

Hearing his exclamation tone, and looking into his shining eyes, Zhao Xu didn't mind that he didn't praise himself so much. After explaining Xiaojian's skills, he began to teach him hand in hand.

Because all his attention was on learning how to throw pots, Chu Lin didn't realize how intimate he was standing behind him holding his hand.

"What are you looking at, I don't know what to look at, don't look at evil!" Seeing that other people were staring at them, Zhou Heng said in a low voice.

The people who were about to retreat to the side heard his voice, and thought that King An would not pay attention to other things at this time. After looking at each other, they pulled Zhou Heng to the other side of the lobby.

"Come on, come on, you are so good on Tuesday, try to see if you can make a shot from such a distance, if you can't make a shot, drink a glass of wine."

"Needless to say, with such a small distance, our young master on Tuesday will definitely make a shot."

"That's right!"

Being praised by his friends, Zhou Heng, who is full of self-confidence, can only occasionally hit one of ten arrows at a super long distance, and is drunk by his friends who are braving bad water.
