Tried to trick me into raising a cat again

As October approaches, Shen City has become lively ahead of time. Shopping malls, large and small, have put on new activity banners, bright colors are eye-catching, and there is a noisy festive atmosphere everywhere.

The decoration of the new store has been completed, the wood grain tiles are polished, the pure white walls are pasted with fresh wallpapers, and the walls are interspersed with artistic photo frames and wooden brackets, on which are fresh green radishes. The green radish grows luxuriantly, the emerald green paper hangs down, and the eyes are full of dark green vitality.

The opening time is set on National Day, and the waiters have been recruited in advance. They will arrive at work three days before the opening, and they will distribute leaflets and coupons at the door of the store every day for publicity.

The old customers on the night market street were also notified in place, and Qu Yanning was lying on the cash register, muttering and editing text messages into the phone.

Xie Qi was lying on his stomach on the high stool next to the cashier counter, with his chin resting on his front paws, his tail hanging on the edge of the stool, squinting slightly to watch Qu Yanning delete and delete on the phone.

Qu Yanning didn't have many friends, and when a new store opened, there was always some excitement. He counted and counted, and the only ones he knew were Xie Erye, Zhang Ren, and Wang Li.

Wang Li and Zhang Ren should have no problem. The hard one is Xie Erye. Qu Yanning frowned and worried. He always felt that he would not come to such a lively party, but Zhang Ren did not invite Xie Er when he came. Grandpa, it's a bit unreasonable.

Besides, Second Master Xie has helped him many times. Although he looks deserted on the outside, he is surprisingly easy to talk to. Qu Yanning scratched his cheek, pondered his words, and sent an invitation message to Second Master Xie.

Both Wang Li and Zhang Ren replied quickly, saying that they would definitely come. As expected, there was no movement from Xie Erye. Qu Yanning poked the cat's face and said to himself, "If you don't come, you will come." Don't come."

Xie Qi, who was secretly observing, licked his paw, opened his golden eyes, and rubbed his head against his hand.

……

On the opening day of the National Day, Zhang Ren and Wang Li sent flower baskets to celebrate early in the morning. The bright and beautiful flower baskets were arranged in a row. Qu Yanning invited them in embarrassedly, "It's fine if people come, you are too polite."

"On the first day of opening, please do a good job." Wang Li smiled and patted him on the shoulder, walked around the store and praised: "It looks good, looks decent, when will it open?"

Qu Yanning said it was twelve noon.

During the holidays, the flow of people is very large. Even if the time is not up yet, there are quite a lot of curious customers who come to inquire at the door of the store.

Qu Yanning greeted the two of them, and asked Chu Zhou to help him, and went to the back kitchen to prepare the ingredients. Now he is the only chef, and the assistant chef can only help prepare the ingredients. In order to save time, now Qu Yanning It's about to get busy.

Zhang Ren sat down on the chair behind the checkout counter, while Chu Zhou was lying on his stomach next to the checkout counter, playing with his mobile phone. He was wearing a wine-red modified cheongsam today, with flowers buttoned above his Adam's apple, revealing a slender and slender neck. With a delicate beauty.

Zhang Ren looked at him, his eyes moved slightly, and he took out the gift he had prepared a long time ago and handed it to Chu Zhou, "This is a congratulatory gift entrusted to me by the second master. Mr. Xiao Qu is busy, please help him to keep it."

Chu Yi was stunned, put away his phone and didn't know whether he should answer it, he hesitated for a moment and turned to call Qu Yanning in the kitchen, "Qu'er, Mr. Xie asked Zhang Ren to bring a congratulatory gift, should I accept it or not?"

Qu Yanning stopped what she was doing and poked her head out, saying that the second master was too polite, "I have accepted the gift, please take the congratulatory gift back to the second master."

Zhang Ren looked at Xie Qi in embarrassment.

Xie Qi narrowed his eyes, stretched out his paws to pick up the gift bag and put it under his body, meowing lazily.

Qu Yanning & Chu Zhou: "..."

Zhang Ren said with a smile: "Since I accepted it, what I just said doesn't count."

The cat took the initiative to accept the gift, and Qu Yanning would be a little unflattered if he refused again. He thanked him and secretly remembered to find the time to pay back the favor he owed.

At twelve o'clock in the noon, it officially opened, and the colorful colorful tubes sprayed. The old customers who had been waiting for a long time, and the new customers who were attracted by the discount, took up the place in a short time.

Business was much better than expected. Qu Yanning was busy running around in the back kitchen, waiters shuttled around with trays to order and serve food, and Chu Zhou, who was in charge of the cashier, was almost overwhelmed.

Zhang Ren and Wang Li rolled up their sleeves and began to help in a very tacit understanding.

The popularity of the opening was unexpected. The ingredients that Qu Yanning had prepared in advance had already been used up in the evening, and no one would send them over. Qu Yanning sent coupons to customers who were still waiting in line. Sorry to say that because There is not enough ingredients and we have to close early. Fortunately, the customers are more talkative, and they are happy to come to eat early tomorrow with the coupons.

After the last table of customers left, Qu Yanning checked the accounts and waited for the waiter to clean up the store before closing the door and leaving.

The place to eat was reserved in advance, and it was in Deyuan. After Xie Qi took him there last time, Qu Yanning remembered the taste there, and this time he simply booked a box there.

Zhang Ren and Wang Li stayed in the store for a day and helped a lot. Qu Yanning was a little embarrassed. He wanted to treat someone to dinner, but he didn't have time to entertain them, so he asked the two of them to help out. long time.

"What's the matter?" Wang Li smiled heartily, "It's all my brothers, you're welcome."

Zhang Ren didn't talk much, and nodded in agreement when he heard the words, but his eyes fell on Chu Zhou beside him inadvertently.

In October, the temperature was slightly cold at night. Chu Zhou was wearing a cheongsam with bare arms. He didn't feel it when he was in the store, but he felt a little chill when he came out. Goosebumps popped up on his bare arms.

"Here, be careful of catching a cold," Zhang Ren handed him the suit jacket on his hand, and the hideous scar on the bridge of his nose was much warmer under the light.

Chu Zhou hesitated for a while, but still took it, smiled at him, and said thank you.

Zhang Ren nodded and didn't say much.

The four stopped a car on the side of the road and passed by.

When they got to the private room, Xie Qi hadn't appeared yet, Qu Yanning hesitated for a while and asked Zhang Ren, "Is the second master not going to be born today?"

Zhang Ren silently glanced at the cat in Qu Yanning's arms, and said, "Second Master has something to delay, I'll be here later."

Qu Yanning became inexplicably happy, and the movements of stroking the cat became much lighter.

Xie Qi rubbed against his arm, and took out the small piece of paper that Zhang Ren gave him. The small piece of paper was cut into the shape of a cat. Xie Qi tapped the piece of paper cat with his paw, and the small piece of paper was gone It swelled up as if it had been inflated, and turned into a kitten exactly like him.

Xie Qi jumped to the ground, and the kitten turned into a piece of paper nestled on Qu Yanning's lap instead of Xie Qi, and soon fell asleep snoring.Qu Yanning scratched his chin, and gently put him on the sofa beside him, but no one saw Xie Qi who swaggered out except Zhang Ren.

After the four of them ordered, Xie Qi came late. Today he changed into a more formal attire, a white shirt with a dark gray vest, and the same color suit trousers underneath. The thin trousers wrapped his slender legs , like a gentleman getting ready for a party.

"Sorry, I'm late." Xie Qi greeted everyone apologetically,

"Second Master," Qu Yanning stood up, welcomed him in and sat down, with two dimples in a shy smile, "It's not too late, it's just right."

Xie Qi pursed his lips, and sat down on the seat next to him reservedly.

Wang Li and Chu Zhou both had stomachaches looking at his indifferent and delicate face, but Qu Yanning suddenly became very excited for some reason, hugged the cat sleeping on the sofa, and talked non-stop with Xie Qi.

"I don't know what happened, but I suddenly fell asleep, and I couldn't even wake up." Qu Yanning poked the cat's belly, and the paper cat purred twice, turned around and continued to sleep.

Xie Qi raised his brows, took the cat, touched it a few times and put it back on the sofa, saying that it might be because he was too tired during the day, "Let him sleep."

Qu Yanning let out a silly oh.

The waiters came up with the dishes one after another. Chu Zhou and Wang Li both like to be lively. Although Zhang Ren doesn’t talk much, he can play when the atmosphere is up. Halfway through the meal, the three of them started drinking. No one has the guts to invite Xie Erye came to drink, the three of you had a drink and I had a drink, tacitly ignoring Xie Qi and Qu Yanning who was chatting beside him.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere at the dinner table was completely heated up. Even Qu Yanning was dragged to drink a few glasses, his fair face was flushed, and he smiled foolishly.

Xie Qi twirled his fingers, resisting the urge to poke, he calmly moved the person to his side, and said to leave, "Change to another place."

Chu Zhou didn't drink enough, so I suggest another place to continue.

Qu Yanning said yes in a daze, he has a normal capacity for alcohol, drinking beer is fine, drinking white wine is not good, after a while the strength of the alcohol will come up, the transpiration of alcohol will make him dizzy, and he will be silly at Xie Qi Laughing is cuter than being shy and not talking.

The three people in front were still making wine orders, Xie Qi and Qu Yanning walked behind, taking advantage of no one's attention, he couldn't help poking the dimple for a long time.

Qu Yanning's cheeks were very fleshy, with two dimples when he smiled, Xie Qi poked his finger down, and another dimple appeared, Xie Qi pursed his lips, his eyes were stained with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Stupid. "

"Ah?" Qu Yanning stared at him in a daze, and covered his face unresponsively, Xie Qi put his hands behind his back, watched him rub his face, and laughed silly again.

In the end, we found a KTV to continue the show, and the five people asked for a middle bag and two boxes of beer, and then started the night of carnival again.

Of course, there are always only the three who are drunk and high in the carnival. Xie Qi crossed his legs and sat at the other end watching them play with a cold expression. Qu Yanning was also sitting next to him, looking at the three of them in a daze. Playing alone, they laughed and he laughed too, like a fool.

When the carnival finally ended, Wang Li and Chu Zhou got down on the ground.

Zhang Ren had the best drinker, he stood up staggeringly, his mind was a little dazed but his consciousness was still clear, when he saw Xie Qi in the corner, he subconsciously stood up, "Second Lord."

Xie Qi waved his hand lightly, saying don't worry about me.

Zhang Ren just nodded, picked up Chu Zhou who was lying in a pile of empty wine glasses, put him on the sofa, and covered him with his coat, so he had to go to the bathroom to wash his face and wake up.

Qu Yanning had already fallen asleep in a daze. He was originally leaning on the sofa, but when he fell asleep, he turned over once, and then leaned on Xie Qi's shoulder.

The warm breath carried the intoxicating smell of alcohol, Xie Qi approached him, and gently pinched his cheeks, the cheeks were smooth and tender, Q and bouncing, very attractive to hands.

Xie Qi couldn't hold back and squeezed two more, and stopped before Zhang Ren came out.

Zhang Ren rang the call bell and asked the waiter to help him. There is a private room upstairs in the KTV where he can rest.

"Should I rest here for one night today?" Zhang Ren asked Xie Qi for advice.

Xie Qi nodded, patted Qu Yanning's face and called him up, "Wake up? Go up and sleep again."

Qu Yanning groaned twice and opened his eyes, followed Xie Qi up the stairs in a daze, leaving the drunk Chu Zhou and Wang Li to Zhang Ren for arrangement.

The room was on the sixth floor. The waiter led them to the door, handed the room card to Xie Qi and retreated. Xie Qi opened the door, turned on the light, and pulled in Qu Yanning who was in a daze at the door.

After entering the room, Qu Yanning came back to his senses, looked at the two beds side by side in the room, then at Xie Qi, then at the bed, he said slowly, "Are you sleeping?"

"Well," Xie Qi unbuttoned his clothes, took off the vest outside, and opened the neckline of the white shirt slightly, revealing the delicate clavicle line.

"Take a shower before going to sleep."

"Oh." Qu Yanning was a little slow to react, he just did what Xie Qi said, looking like a good baby.

Holding the bathrobe into the bathroom, with the warm water hitting his face, Qu Yanning's dizzy head finally realized a big thing - tonight he will sleep in the same room as Mr. Xie!

He rubbed his face vigorously, thinking of all his stupid actions before, he wished he had to go out, but Xie Qi outside obviously didn't think so, seeing that he had been staying inside and couldn't come out, he knocked on the bathroom door strangely, "No Stay in there for too long, be careful of lack of oxygen."

"Oh." Qu Yanning dried his body slowly, put on a bathrobe, opened the door and stuck out his head, his face was red from the steam.

"I've finished washing, you go and wash." Qu Yanning got into the quilt wrapped in a bathrobe, only revealing his eyes and nose.

Xie Qi glanced at him lightly, then turned and went into the bathroom.

After taking a shower, he turned off the lights and rested. Under the influence of alcohol, Qu Yanning quickly fell asleep, with half of his face buried in the quilt, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

Xie Qi on the next bed moved, a white light flashed, the raised quilt sank, and there was a big fluffy cat in front of Qu Yanning's bed.

The big cat lightly jumped onto the bed, lay down next to Qu Yanning, scooped him into his arms with his paws and rubbed his chin, and then snored contentedly and fell asleep.

Qu Yanning felt the familiar fur while he was half asleep and half awake, and buried his face deep, sleeping even more soundly.

……

In the early morning of the next day, when the warm sunshine hit his face, Qu Yanning frowned, opened his eyes with a groan, sat up with his messy hair, yawned, and slowly lifted the quilt to get up.

Xie Qi had already woken up, dressed neatly and sat drinking tea by the window, and asked him morning when he saw that he was up.

"Morning, Second Master." Qu Yanning brushed her hair and turned to wash.

After washing up, it was only eight o'clock, Qu Yanning dawdled towards Xie Qi's side, and Xie Qi couldn't bear to wait, so he called him coldly, "Come and sit."

"...Oh." Qu Yanning went over and sat down, with a cautious expression and lowered head.

Xie Qi frowned displeased, and asked coldly, "Are you afraid of me?"

Qu Yanning said he was not afraid.

Xie Qi poured him a cup of tea, raised his eyebrows, "Then why don't you dare to look at me?"

"..." Qu Yanning raised his head, stared at Xie Qi with a puffy face, and tried his best to prove that he was not afraid of the legendary Second Master Xie at all.

Xie Qi tapped the rim of the cup with his fingers, itching again.

"Just have time, let's chat?" Xie Qi changed the subject.

Qu Yanning said, "What are you talking about?"

Xie Qi asked him, "Don't you still want to learn?"

Qu Yanning was taken aback for a moment, clutching the teacup with a hesitant expression.

Xie Qi said, "You hesitated."

"Well," Qu Yanning held his teacup unconsciously, and said with some doubts, "Even if I don't learn those things from you, will I still meet those things?"

Xie Qi said yes, "Your physique is born like this, and you are destined to be inseparable from these things." Sometimes, if you don't want to avoid trouble, trouble won't come to you.

Qu Yanning said, "But I don't understand anything."

Xie Qi raised his eyes and looked at him gently, "I can teach you."

Qu Yanning hesitated for a while, then whispered, "Then I want to worship you as my teacher?"

"Apprenticeship?" Xie Qi was taken aback for a moment, then looked at him meaningfully, "Apprenticeship is exempted, I don't have the fate of master and apprentice with you."

Qu Yanning looked at him puzzled, thinking that he was not qualified enough to be a teacher, lowered his eyes, and said how can I thank you, the favor owed before has not been exchanged, which adds another sum.

"You take care of me... the cat is fine," Xie Qi curled his mouth and looked at him tenderly, "He is very happy with you."

When mentioning cats, Qu Yanning laughed. Halfway through the laugh, his smile stagnated, and he stood up anxiously and said about cats, "I drank too much yesterday and forgot about cats."

Xie Qi calmly said that the cat was being taken care of by Zhang Ren, and Qu Yanning sat down again with peace of mind.

"Put this away," Xie Qi put a small jade tablet in front of him. The jade-white jade tablet was warm with warm tentacles, and a traditional Chinese character "Thank you" was engraved in the middle.

Qu Yanning pushed the jade tablet back, "This is too precious."

Xie Qi directly hung the jade plaque around his neck, and said flatly, "It's not expensive, each of the Xie family's children has one."

Qu Yanning was dubious, he didn't understand jade, he just felt that this jade tablet was not an ordinary item, but Xie Qi said so, he thought he had made a mistake, and held the small jade tablet with some embarrassment.

Xie Qi pursed his lips in satisfaction, he stood up, and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first, Zhang Ren and the others are downstairs, and you will go back with them later."

Qu Yanning agreed and sent him to the elevator.

At 09:30, Zhang Ren came up with the cat in his arms. Qu Yanning took the cat, stroked it, and kissed him. He looked at the listless Wang Li strangely, "Team Wang, you didn't sleep well last night?"

Wang Li rubbed his temples, glanced at Zhang Ren resentfully, and said yes, "I drank too much and slept on the ground all night."

Zhang Ren said without changing his face that I put you on the bed when I sent you back to the room.

Wang Li stared, glanced at the energetic Chu Zhou, and muttered, "Why do I think you are discriminating against me?"

Zhang Ren looked serious and upright, "Why, you think too much."

Wang Li: "..."

After going downstairs to check out the room, the four of them bid farewell, Qu Yanning carried the cat and went to the store with Chu Zhou. The store opened at twelve o'clock, so he had to go to see it first.

……

The door opened, and Qu Yanning counted yesterday's accounts at the cash register. The waiter hadn't come yet, and he and the cat were the only ones in the store. Chu Zhou had a headache from drinking too much yesterday, so he went straight back to rest.

"Excuse me, does Chu Zhou work here?" A lame man walked in, with a pair of triangular eyes on his black and yellow face, dim and cloudy, making people feel inexplicably uncomfortable when looking at him.

Qu Yanning became aware, and said coldly, "Sorry, I don't know you."

The man stared at him for a while, then said sinisterly, "I'm a member of his family, my mother is sick, and I'm in a hurry to find him back."

Qu Yanning moved his body, becoming more and more sure that this person had malicious intentions, and said more coldly: "Sorry, I don't know the person you mentioned."
