Natural enemies

Because the traffic jam delayed a lot of time, when he arrived at Tang Ji's house, Wu Peng's stomach was already growling with hunger.His sense of smell is particularly sensitive when he is hungry, so Sang Lin pushed the door open, and he smelled a fragrance.

The five senses of a demon hunter are beyond ordinary people. Wu Peng immediately distinguishes the smell of wheat from steamed buns, the fishy smell of fried fish, the meaty smell of sweet and sour pork ribs, the fragrance of mushrooms, and even the sweetness of butter. Come, it can draw people's saliva down almost immediately.

However, Sang Lin's face was not very good-looking, and she squeezed out a sentence between her teeth while closing the door: "I must have cooked a table full of dishes again!"

Made a table full of dishes?who?Isn't it good that this dish smells so good?

Wu Peng hadn't finished this series of thoughts when he heard the chatter and laughter from the living room: "Oh, Xiao Gu, you can even make pastry! Tsk tsk tsk, young master Tang, you are really blessed with this skill!"

Sang Lin's face was stretched longer, and she said bitterly: "I knew I had to say this again!" She threw the key on the shoe cabinet hard, making a crisp sound, obviously intending to alarm the people inside.

Wu Peng looked into the living room, and saw a table covered with steaming dishes, but the most attractive thing was a plate of cat's claw-shaped butter cookies that just came out of the oven, each with only apricots The small pads of cat's claws are painted with chocolate powder on the light yellow cake surface, which looks lifelike.

Daniel circled the plate of catclaws.He lived comfortably at Tang Ji's house, and it wasn't that he was scared to urinate that day, but he wiped his face with flour, obviously he was still helping in the kitchen just now: "Brother Gu, you are doing so beautifully." ! The baked ones I made turned out to be that ghostly..."

Li Tianyi sneered and said, "Can you compete with little Gubi? Look at the shape you pinched, is it a ghost's claw?" He stretched out his hand and put one in his mouth as he said, "Oh, it's so delicious. It's sweet and crisp! It's definitely not worse than those made in those cake shops!"

He said and complained again: "I said, Young Master Tang, why are you so discerning? I went to Haitian first, why didn't I find such a treasure as Xiao Gu..."

"Here we come again!" Sang Lin said these three words through grinding her teeth.The sound of her throwing the keys failed to interrupt these people, and she was almost bursting with anger.

It's a pity that Li Tianyi didn't pay attention at all, and only focused on posting to Gu Yi: "Don't tell me, this apron looks really good on you...Hey, this shirt belongs to Young Master Tang, right? Hey, his clothes fit you well. "

Gu Yi was wearing a straight dark blue shirt, but he was wearing a pink pig apron.This apron was a gift that Sang Lin got when she bought daily necessities in the mall one day, but because she and Tang Ji were not very good at cooking, they never used it.

A high-end shirt with a cheap apron, dark blue with pink, still a pig... don't mention how inconsistent it is, but wearing it on Gu Yi...

The shirt cuffs are neatly folded up, setting off the fair forearms and hands—Gu Yi's skin is soft ivory, his muscles are smooth, his fingers are long and strong, and the movement of pinching a small brush to paint chocolate powder on the biscuits Nimble and elegant, Li Tianyi's saliva is about to flow down.

As for the pink apron, the tie was knotted at the waist, which just showed the narrow waist and long legs, and added a little-indescribable feeling of homely warmth.

Wu Peng suddenly felt that he understood Sang Lin's mood.How should I put it, standing here, he feels that everyone including Sang Lin is an outsider, but Gu Yi looks like a host who is ready to entertain guests.

Tang Ji opened a bottle of red wine next to him, and grinned when he heard Li Tianyi's words: "Yes, I have a good eye."

He still looks so carefree, but for some reason, Wu Peng always feels that he doesn't seem natural.But he didn't know Tang Ji well, so he couldn't make a rash judgment.

But after hearing this, Gu Yi turned his head and smiled at Tang Ji: "Yes, thanks to Mr. Tang's appreciation."

These words were quite serious, but both Li Tianyi and Daniel booed: "Hey, we are showing affection here again! Ouch, we are going to be blind, let's eat biscuits."

There were not many biscuits on a plate, and there were not many left after being snatched by these two people.Tang Ji was opening a glass of red wine and couldn't free his hand, but Gu Yi quickly snatched a piece out: "Mr. Tang hasn't tasted it yet."

"Mr. Tang hasn't tasted it yet..." Li Tianyi imitated his voice, and made a gesture of holding his heart, "Oh, how considerate! Just look at others, and then look at you, and you will know how to eat!" The last words were spoken to Daniel.

He is still Daniel's benefactor now, and Daniel hurriedly fed the biscuit he had snatched into his mouth: "Didn't I snatch it for Li Shao..." He winked at Gu Yi as he said, "Brother Gu, don't just let me go!" Take it, Young Master Tang can't spare his hand now."

Of course he could see that Li Tianyi was playing Gu Yi's idea, but Gu Yi still has an owner now.The more Gu Yi wins Tang Ji's favor, the harder it is for Li Tianyi to get him, and the longer he can make money with Li Tianyi, it's a win-win situation, why not do it?So in the past few days, he has spared no effort to create opportunities for Gu Yi. Of course, it would be great if he could learn from Gu Yi by the way. It's a pity that Gu Yi knows a lot, and he really learns it all the time. Won't……

Gu Yi held the biscuit with a perplexed expression on his face, and finally looked at Tang Ji.Tang Ji laughed dryly, lowered his head and snatched the biscuit from his hand, nodded while chewing: "Yeah, it's really delicious!"

"The ingredients are good..." Gu Yi blushed, "Then——I'll bake more..."

Wu Peng subconsciously took a breath, only to feel an indescribable soreness in his cheeks.Perhaps it was an illusion, he felt that Tang Ji laughed like he was crying, which was quite indescribable.

"It's your own fault!" Sang Lin said in a low voice, snorted hard, and strode towards the living room.

Thanks to the shock of her breaking a chair with one hand - the chair with the cracked back is still in the living room - when Li Tianyi and Daniel saw her, their voices suddenly became quieter.But then they saw Wu Peng, and they all opened their eyes wide at the same time: "This——" Isn't this the Interpol that day?

Tang Ji swallowed the biscuit forcefully, and coughed dryly: "This is Mr. Wu, well, you can just call him Mr. Wu, and don't ask any more questions, understand?"

"Understood." Li Tianyi said "I understand" on his face, "Has Mr. Wu eaten? Do you want to go together?"

Sang Lin lifted the chair with a sullen face, and swung her hands heavily in front of the table: "Mr. Wu, sit down. President Tang invites you to come here, so don't be restrained. President Tang's home, you can treat it as your own home." Figure it out One point, Tang Ji is the master here, what is the matter with this surname Li.

It's a pity that Li Tianyi is not a person who can read other people's faces at all, and he really wants to know if he is safe now, so he nodded very attentively: "Yes, yes, Mr. Wu, you are welcome."

Sang Lin's complexion became even uglier.Tang Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but fortunately Gu Yi came out from the kitchen with another plate of biscuits, greeted Wu Peng first, and then smiled at Li Tianyi: "Young Master Li, there are not enough wine glasses, can you please bring me another one?"

"Okay, okay." Li Tianyi didn't know what to do now, he felt very pleasing to the eyes when he saw Gu Yi, no matter what he said, he felt pleasing to the ear, just one command and one movement, and Diandian went to get the wine glass.Gu Yi then turned his head and said to Tang Ji: "Mr. Wu's clothes are all wet..."

"Ah——" Tang Ji laughed dryly, "That's right. Why don't you go take a shower and change your clothes..." He scratched his head when he said this.Gu Yi was about the same height as him, and his clothes fit him well, but Wu Peng was only of medium height, and he was thin, so he didn't look good in his clothes.

"No—" Wu Peng quickly declined.Looking at the clothes Tang Ji and Gu Yi were wearing, they knew that they were expensive. If he really wore them, it would not be appropriate to wash them and send them back, and it would be even more inappropriate not to send them back: "Just give me a dry towel to dry my hair."

"I'll get it." Daniel quickly brought a towel, and glanced at the stack of things stuck in the mouth of Wu Peng's backpack by the way: "What is this? An exhibition—an album?"

Wu Peng blushed: "A promotional material for a private jewelry exhibition." It was brought back by Du Quan, and it was used by him to keep out the rain today, and it was already wet.

The album is beautifully printed, and the outer layer is covered with plastic, even if it is rained, it will not hinder it in the slightest.Daniel was immediately attracted by the picture above: "It's so beautiful...Mr. Wu, can I have a look? Is this exhibition going to be held in Shanghai?"

Wu Peng didn't want to mention it at all, so he waved his hand indiscriminately: "Take it and have a look."

Daniel likes jewelry the most. Although he can't afford it himself, it doesn't stop him from looking at it and thinking about it... Now that he has Wu Peng's permission, he immediately forgets about other things. I went to see it, and exclaimed from time to time: "Oh, the color of this emerald is so good! This string is a string of conch pearls! This is actually a ruby ​​left over from the Tsarist period..."

Sang Lin was almost annoyed to death, and said viciously: "Don't you want to eat? Do you want to eat?"

"Of course, of course." Gu Yi quickly replied, "The mushroom soup will be ready soon."

Sanlin choked immediately.Wu Peng looked back and forth for a few times, and felt more and more that something was wrong——Tang Ji opened the wine, Gu Yi served the soup, no matter how you look at this scene, it looks like the couple are entertaining guests. Whose house is this?

Tang Ji caught his gaze and grinned: "Yes, I'll eat right away."

Wu Peng felt more and more that he laughed like he was crying.Taking a closer look, Tang Ji's eyes were slightly black and blue, as if he hadn't slept well for a few days.

Although he never liked to inquire about other people's privacy, Wu Peng still couldn't help but followed Tang Ji to the wine cabinet and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Tang Ji grinned again, "It's just that there are a few more people in the family, and they have moved all the company's work back to do things in the past few days, and haven't had a good rest."

Wu Peng was a little dubious.Tang Ji obviously didn't want to talk about it anymore: "How is your investigation?"

He didn't say anything, and Wu Peng wouldn't get to the bottom of it. He briefly explained the results of the investigation in the past few days: "I think, first, we need to find out why they came to Shanghai."

"This is really..." Tang Ji rubbed his chin, "If it's not for Jason, then what is it for? Nuo Feile has no hobby of traveling..." When talking about serious business, he returned to his foolish look , it is much more comfortable than before: "But to be honest, the manpower is too small, and even the earliest serial murder case has not progressed until now..."

Wu Peng's face turned red, and he said in a muffled voice, "I will urge them again..."

Tang Ji waved his hand, and was about to speak, when Daniel exclaimed again: "There is such a blood-red diamond! I thought it was all blowing, it was just a pink diamond with a darker color..."

Li Tianyi also leaned over to take a look: "Have you passed this picture? There are a few red diamonds in the world, but if the color is this deep, they should be famous, right?"

Daniel clicked on the introduction below the picture: "It's called Eternal Blood. It is said that Queen Catherine II had a lover named Potkin. When he was seriously ill, the Queen sent The Secret Legion captures vampires and wants to use their blood to make Potkin live forever. Because the blood of low-level vampires has little effect, the Secret Legion finally finds the place where the ancestors of vampires rest forever-the Blood Mist Labyrinth. But the Legion is killed and injured At the end of the day, only a drop of blood from the ancestor of the vampire was brought out from the maze. The alchemist sealed it in a diamond and sent someone to send it back to the imperial capital quickly. But it was too late, and the diamond was dead. But it survived and was named the blood of eternal life. Hey, there is such a legend."

Li Tianyi looked at it with disdain: "Nonsense. Return the blood of eternal life...and seal the blood of the ancestor of the vampire—which vampire? That prince of virtue?"

"It's Count Dracula." Daniel corrected him, "And the ancestor of vampires is not Dracula, it should be Cain."

"Whoever he is." Li Tianyi sneered, "Let's not talk about whether there are vampires. Just talk about how this blood is sealed in diamonds? No, just say that if this blood can really live forever, it would have been used by the Tsar a long time ago. Stay until today?"

Daniel was in high spirits: "Anyway, it's just publicity. I think this compilation is quite interesting. It would be great if I could go and have a look."

"That's not easy." Li Tianyi said nonchalantly, "Just wait until the exhibition opens. Tang Shao, why don't you go together? Take Xiao Gu—— Xiao Gu? What's wrong?"

Gu Yi's voice came from the kitchen: "It's nothing, the soup spilled a little."

"Oh, you're not burning, are you?" Li Tianyi jumped up and was about to run into the kitchen, but Gu Yi had already come out with the soup: "It's nothing. I was a little fascinated just now. It sounds like that of."

"Really?" Daniel held the album in front of his eyes excitedly, "I also think it's well edited. Returning to the Blood Mist Labyrinth, it's as if someone has actually been there..."

"Yes." Gu Yiman responded, his eyes fell on the last page of the album, "This is the owner of the jewelry?"

Daniel took a closer look at the small photo: "Very young. What's his name—Andre..."
