unrivaled gymnastics

Live at Xiao Xuechen's house? !

In other words, he's going...to live with Xiao Xuechen...to live together? !

It must be a dream, I drank too much last night, and I haven't woken up yet... Gu Xiaofei thought dazedly, otherwise there is no way to explain such a wonderful thing that happened in the world!

No, what is "cohabitation", it's called cohabitation only when someone lives with someone else, he just happened to be renting at Xiao Xuechen's house.Gu Xiaofei silently said to himself: Gu Xiaofei, Gu Xiaofei, how could you have such nasty thoughts about the beloved hero Xiao! Gay in gay angry!

"Xiao Fei! Your hero in white is here! Come and pick up the guests!" the painter shouted at him in the hallway, sounding like a procuress in a brothel.

Gu Xiaofei grabbed the slippers and hit his head hard.it hurts.Not dreaming.

He hurriedly put on his clothes and grabbed his pants, buttoned several buttons wrongly, and stumbled to the living room.

Xiao Xuechen stood at the door with a stern expression, staring eyes were silent, and he looked unhappy.Gu Xiaofei thought that he must be angry because of the "dust", and hurriedly said apologetically, "I just heard that I didn't prepare anything...that...would you like to sit down?"

"It's okay, it's not your fault." Xiao Xuechen was actually sulking because of his uncle.

Yesterday, Fang Xinhe suddenly called him to Maoca, and told him that Gu Xiaofei was coming to work in the store, and by the way, he would practice martial arts with him in his spare time.Xiao Xuechen didn't notice the treacherous expression on the uncle's face at first, until the uncle said something surprising.

"If I promise him to provide him with a place to live, let him live in your house."

"I object." Xiao Xuechen said coldly, "Why do the people you recruited not live in your house?"

"My home is all over the world, where is my home?" Fang Xinhe made a deep expression.

If it wasn't for his high seniority, Fang Xinhe would have been beaten by Xiao Xuechen long ago.

"Uncle, don't you discuss it with the person concerned before making a decision?"

Fang Xinhe was sitting opposite him, holding three or four cats in his arms, as if he was a faint king, holding three thousand beauties in the harem on the left and right.

"I'm doing this for your own good too..."

"Did you always think that I'm only 16 years old and I need my elders to arrange everything for me?" Xiao Xuechen frowned slightly.

"Hey—" Fang Xinhe dragged his voice, "Aren't you and Gu Xiaofei on good terms?"

"I never said that." A cat's head suddenly appeared under the table, and the cat was staring at the coffee cup, as if it wanted to fiddle with it.Xiao Xuechen silently pushed the cup towards the center of the table.

"It's been a long time since you've been so close to outsiders. Besides, Gu Xiaofei possesses peerless martial arts, and you need an opponent for sparring, wouldn't it be just right? Well, if you still doubt his identity, this is an excellent time to inquire. .”

Xiao Xuechen wanted to say that I didn't doubt Gu Xiaofei much anymore, but felt that saying this was actually an admission of what my uncle said, "You and Gu Xiaofei have a very good relationship".The uncle's words are really extraordinary, no matter whether he affirms or denies, he will follow the uncle's words.

"I have my own measure, and I don't need my uncle to worry about it."

"...Is it really because of 'that person' that you reject Gu Xiaofei so much? In this way, their personalities do have some similarities..."

Xiao Xuechen choked, his starry eyes drooped slightly, his thin lips were pursed into a line, as if holding a sharp edge, and he remained silent angrily.

Fang Xinhe said: "It's fine if you don't listen to me, even your master? Do you want me to ask my senior brother to tell you in person?" He took out his mobile phone while talking.

"No need." Xiao Xuechen interrupted him.

"Oh, so you agree? Very good, very good, it's worth my hard work." Fang Xinhe's lips curled up slyly, "Why don't you ask Gu Xiaofei to go to the martial arts conference together? I'm curious about him What kind of results can you achieve...don't lose to others!"

At first glance, Fang Xinhe seems to be the kind of expert who has no plans left, and the mast and scull disappear in smoke while talking and laughing. In fact, he is quite unreliable in his work, and often asks his juniors to help clean up the mess.It's okay to just let Gu Xiaofei live in his own home, but in the end, he didn't negotiate with him at all... How can there be such irresponsible people in the world?Until now, Xiao Xuechen has not been expelled from the lung disease by his uncle, probably because the internal energy of the Lingxu Sect has the function of protecting the body.

***

Gu Xiaofei looked down at himself, the honor of this hangover was really invisible to others, fortunately the three roommates were not much better, mixed in with them, he was not very conspicuous - it was all set off by his peers!

"I came here by car. You pack your luggage and I'll help you move." Xiao Xuechen said.

The roommates whistled and smiled lewdly at Gu Xiaofei.Gu Xiaofei stared back, not understanding why they laughed lewdly.

He went back to the bedroom, pulled all the clothes out of the cabinet, buried his head in the fabric, and pretended to pack his luggage, but in fact it was to bury his laughter.

He wants to live with Xiao Xuechen!

He felt like he had turned into a string of human-shaped self-propelled cannons, every step would explode into golden fireworks.

Gu Xiaofei didn't have many things, except for clothes and some personal items, he packed them in four courier boxes borrowed from his roommate.The roommates were very shocked by his efficiency. Each of them had a bunch of plastic figurines, game boards, musical instruments, etc., and a truckload couldn’t finish them all. Seeing Xiao Fei’s poor possessions, they couldn’t help feeling: This person's private life is really poor...

"Let's help you carry it into the car!" The roommates volunteered, rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward to help, each moved a box, leaving the last one for Gu Xiaofei to do it himself.

"That's all?" Xiao Xuechen was slightly surprised when he saw how little his luggage was.

"I don't have much stuff!" Gu Xiaofei scratched his head.

He was about to bend down to carry the box when Xiao Xuechen suddenly reached out to block him and pinched his shoulder.

"button."

Gu Xiaofei got up in a hurry and buttoned several buttons wrongly.Xiao Xuechen saw this scruffy look, and Gu Xiaofei was so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it!

He hurriedly unbuttoned the button, but because he was too flustered, his fingers kept slipping, and the button couldn't be inserted into the buttonhole no matter what.He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and felt like a mentally handicapped person who couldn't take care of himself now... Woohoo, he revealed his mentally handicapped side on the first day of living with Xiao Daxia, what should Xiao Daxia think of him!

Xiao Xuechen frowned, and Gu Xiaofei's clumsy appearance was clumsy and cute, like a small animal that couldn't find its own tail, making people feel affectionate involuntarily.I don't know when, every move of the young man has a faint light in his eyes, even if it is a mistake, it is a cute mistake.

He brushed Gu Xiaofei's hand away and fastened the buttons one by one by himself.

Gu Xiaofei's cheeks were flushed, his eyes fixed on Xiao Xuechen's slender hands with well-defined knuckles, and he couldn't look away at all.Daxia Xiao even has such good-looking hands... he thought dizzily.Occasionally, when Xiao Xuechen brushed his skin with his fingertips, he would tremble as if he had been electrocuted.

"Okay. Let's go."

Gu Xiaofei woke up like a dream, and hurriedly picked up the box and shielded it in front of his chest.His chest was hot, as if something was about to burst out.The crisp and numb electric current was still jumping on the skin, making him feel distracted.

Three roommates were already waiting downstairs.Xiao Xuechen got a truck from nowhere to help Gu Xiaofei move.However, Gu Xiaofei's belongings only occupied a small corner of the container, so it seemed that Xiao Xuechen's move was a bit of a fuss.

Gu Xiaofei returned the key to his roommate.The four hugged each other in turn before parting reluctantly.They rented together for only half a year, and they didn't expect to be so reluctant.Gu Xiaofei remembered that Mr. Su once said with emotion that "the white head is like new, and the cover is like old", which means that although some people spend a short time together, they form a deep friendship. This must be the case between him and his three roommates!

But when he thought about the new life (with Xiao Xuechen) that was about to start, this sadness faded away.

Xiao Xuechen lives in a high-end residential area in the center of Yinghai City, where every inch of land is expensive, and Gu Xiaofei may not be able to afford a toilet here even if he delivers food all his life.What's more, Xiao Xuechen lives in a duplex on the top floor, with a rooftop.

The decoration of the house is also perfect, with a touch of simplicity in the elegance, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hotel-level design.Among other things, the set of mahogany furniture alone is worth a lot.

Comparing the house that Gu Xiaofei rented before to Xiao Xuechen's house, it's like... no, it's incomparable at all, it's incomparable to other people's toilets - Gu Xiaofei, who was deeply shocked by the gap between rich and poor, thought speechlessly.

"You... are really rich..." This is the only emotion Gu Xiaofei can squeeze out.So Xiao Xuechen is a hidden local tyrant? I really can't tell!

"My parents' house is not my own money."

In fact, as a martial artist, Xiao Xuechen received quite generous bonuses for participating in various martial arts competitions.But he looked at Gu Xiaofei's shocked expression, and decided it would be better not to tell the story.

"This is the guest room, you will live here."

He helped Gu Xiaofei move the box in, and Gu Xiaofei unpacked it while feeling the exquisite decoration of the room. "It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful room in a place other than an advertisement... Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Xiao Xuechen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Your salary for delivering food should be quite a lot, right?" He didn't know this industry well, but there were always rumors. It is said that it is not a problem for more diligent food delivery staff to earn more than [-] yuan a month.He has always felt strange, although Gu Xiaofei came to work in a big city alone, without financial support from his family, but his salary income is quite good in Yinghai City, why is life so difficult?There should always be some savings, and it will never be reduced to the point where you can't pay the rent and live on the streets.Either the food delivery staff's income is not as rich as the legend says, or Gu Xiaofei is particularly good at spending money.

But he doesn't have a girlfriend, and he doesn't look like he has any money-burning hobbies... Then the question arises, where does Gu Xiaofei's salary go?

As an outsider, it is inconvenient for Xiao Xuechen to intervene in other people's financial problems, but he has to be careful, what if it is some improper hobby, such as gambling?Such an inexperienced young man with no intentions is easily deceived and tempted, and falls into the abyss of gambling... If this is the case, Xiao Xuechen feels that it is his duty to guide him back to the right path...

"Oops!" Gu Xiaofei accidentally knocked over a box, and the contents fell all over the floor.

Xiao Xuechen instinctively bent down to help him pick it up.A pile of bills clipped together caught his attention.He picked up the bills and found that each one was a donation receipt issued by a charitable foundation or welfare home, ranging from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars. the weight of.

"This is……"

Xiao Xuechen's breath was stagnant, and he suddenly realized.It turned out that Gu Xiaofei donated a large part of his salary, no wonder the economy is so tight.

He looked at Gu Xiaofei who was busy picking up things with a complicated expression, and silently apologized for his misunderstanding just now.He is obviously a good young man who is enthusiastic about public welfare, but he speculates on the bad side of others...

"Ah! So it's here with you! Thank you, Xiao Xia!" Gu Xiaofei thought that Xiao Xuechen helped him pick up the receipt, and thanked him happily.

"You donated all your salary?" Xiao Xuechen asked in a low voice.

"I didn't donate all of it. I kept a part of it to cover my daily expenses." Gu Xiaofei was a little embarrassed, "Because I am an orphan. If there is no orphanage, I'm afraid I would have died in the wilderness. The conditions of the orphanage It’s not very good, if there are no kind people in the society to donate money and materials, everyone’s life will be very difficult. So after I make money, I will donate part of it every month, hoping to help children like me..."

He scratched his head, and said with a smile, "Hey, it's so nasty to say it, hero Xiao, just pretend you haven't heard of it."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and picked up other dropped things.

Xiao Xuechen looked at his busy back, not knowing what to say.As a well-known and upright disciple of the Lingxu Sect, he has been educated as a moral model, and he believes that it is only natural to eliminate the strong and help the weak. He usually donates to those who are financially poor, but he has never been as good as Gu Xiaofei. self-awareness.Gu Xiaofei's moral realm is beyond the reach of ordinary people even if they flatter him.

But is it really good to live in poverty for the sake of public welfare?

"Xiao Fei, I'm not advising you to be selfish, it's just... If you can't even guarantee your own life, this kind of charity won't last long."

Gu Xiaofei's shoulders slumped down, and he sighed: "My roommate also said the same, saying that it's like water in a glass, you can only use the overflowing part for charity. But..."

He turned around suddenly, with a bright smile on his vigorous face: "It's okay, I'm still young, I can do more work to earn more money, and I'll have time to save money for myself in the future!"

Xiao Xuechen was speechless and could only rub Gu Xiaofei's head.The boy's hair was smooth and soft, and his fingers were inserted between the hair, as if he was stroking a piece of silk.Xiao Xuechen suddenly remembered Shi Mantao's jokes on him: "You two have different hair textures. Your hair is harder, while his hair is softer and lighter in color. You must have seen Gu Xiaofei not long ago..."

With a thought in his heart, he withdrew his hands, stared fixedly at the floor, took a few deep breaths, calmed down the unusual throbbing in his chest, got up and said, "Pack up your things and come to the rooftop to practice martial arts with me."

"Okay!" Gu Xiaofei is full of fighting spirit, isn't it the purpose of moving here to live with Daxia Xiao to practice martial arts! "Is it still like last time, you have to call out the name of your moves?"

"No." Xiao Xuechen refused coldly.

***

"Brother, this move is so powerful! Can you teach me!"

"Brother, I can't practice this set of sword skills well, am I too stupid?"

"Senior brother is superior, I admit defeat! But next time...hehe, as long as I study hard and practice hard, one day I will beat senior brother!"

"This time the siege of the Demon Sect, will Senior Brother also go? Then...then I will go too! Although my martial arts is not as good as Senior Brother, it is still more than enough to deal with a few Demon Cult monsters! More people have more power!"

"...Brother, there is something I haven't told you all this time, in fact, I..."

Xiao Xuechen suddenly opened his eyes.

His chest heaved violently, his heart was beating wildly, and his whole body was dripping with sweat.It was twilight, and the faint morning light streaming from the gaps in the curtains sprinkled on his bloodless face, making him look like a drowning man who had just been fished out of the river.

He sat up slowly, pressed his chest, and calmed his violent heartbeat.The old scar on his back also started to ache.

After so many years, this nightmare is still lingering, lingering like a life-threatening ghost, and he is only willing to drag him into hell.

Unable to sleep any more, he simply took off his sweaty pajamas, changed into a set of loose and light exercise clothes after a brief wash, carried his sword up to the rooftop, and started his daily morning classes.

In the morning when the sky is getting brighter, the city has not yet woken up, only the early birds are chirping cheerfully, and on the rooftop of the community, a lonely white figure is waving a heavy sword.

Originally it was expected that practicing martial arts would drive away the inner demons, but unexpectedly, the inner demons would have the upper hand.With Xiao Xuechen's skill, although the Miyun Sword in his hand was heavy, it was easy to use, but now the more he swung it, the heavier it became, and finally his wrists became numb.

Xiao Xuechen stopped, knowing that going on like this would be harmful to his cultivation.What's going on recently? Obviously, I've worked harder than before, but instead of seeing any progress, I often go crazy.Could it be that his psychological quality is so poor that the closer he gets to the martial arts conference, the more nervous he becomes?

By the way, just ask Gu Xiaofei to come, that innocent young man is like a pistachio, as long as he is around, my mood will be inexplicably relaxed.

Xiao Xuechen was opposed to the uncle's proposal at first, but now he finally felt the uncle's painstaking efforts—could it be that the uncle had already seen that he was happier with Gu Xiaofei?Well, Jiang is still old and hot, so the uncle let Gu Xiaofei live in, and he also had some considerations.

He put away the sword.As soon as I got back into the room, I smelled a tempting breakfast aroma.

In the kitchen, the range hood was humming, and a slender figure in an apron was busy in front of the stove, humming while beating eggs into the frying pan, with the tails of hair behind his ears playfully curled up, bouncing along with his movements one jump.

Xiao Xuechen stood holding the door frame for a while, admiring the boy's nimble movements, and with the eyes of a martial arts practitioner appraising him, he looked at the bones and joints of the boy's whole body, and then called: "Xiao Fei."

Gu Xiaofei turned his head: "Hero Xiao? Huh? Did you just come back from sword practice? I was wondering if I should wake you up."

Then he wiped the oily smoke from his nose with the back of his hand, and smiled embarrassedly: "I thought I got up early enough, hehehe...you martial arts people want to get up early to practice, I forgot."

When he was talking, he still didn't forget the work in hand, deftly flipped the frying pan and turned the fried egg over.

"Hero Xiao, please sit down for a while! Breakfast will be ready soon! I'm not very good at cooking, so you can make do with it. I can't say it's delicious, but I'm sure you'll be full."

When was the last time someone got up early to make him breakfast?It seems to be the master chef of the canteen of the Lingxu sect... It seems a bit wrong, the master of the canteen is responsible for the food of everyone in the sect, but Gu Xiaofei only cooks for him...

"Then I'll take a shower," he said.

Gu Xiaofei staggered suddenly, almost fell into the pot and was disfigured by the frying pan.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Xuechen's voice unconsciously carried a trace of tension.

"No...the floor is a little slippery, I'll just drag it later..." Gu Xiaofei suddenly stiffened, "Leave this to me! You go... go take a shower..."

Xiao Xuechen looked at him strangely, and after confirming that he hadn't bumped into anything, he pointed to the location of the cleaning tools and went to the bathroom.

Gu Xiaofei turned his back to him, his face was as red as the rising sun.In fact, he had cleaned the kitchen floor a long time ago, and it wasn't slippery at all. He was excited because of Xiao Xuechen's words "take a bath", but how dare he say it outright?Do you want to tell Daxia Xiao "I just fantasized about you without clothes"?Must be beaten to death!No, no, what are you thinking Gu Xiaofei!Daxia Xiao is your benefactor, and you can dream about your benefactor, you are really a person who has escaped from high-level tastes!

Xiao Xuechen took a quick shower, washed off his sweat, changed into home clothes and returned to the restaurant.Gu Xiaofei was walking out with two plates of bacon and fried eggs.Xiao Xuechen just got out of the bath, with a towel covering his head, and walked over while wiping his hair.Gu Xiaofei stopped and stared at him motionlessly, making Xiao Xuechen a little nervous.

He wanted to ask "what's wrong with me?" Gu Xiaofei suddenly staggered again.Seeing that the two plates of breakfast in his hands were about to be knocked over, Xiao Xuechen rushed over, and lifted the plates with both hands lightly.

The towel slipped from the top of his head, and the wet hair stuck to his forehead, still dripping with water.His skin was slightly reddened by the hot water and steam, and those star-like eyes looked much gentler now.This kind of Xiao Xuechen lost a little of his usual coldness and became a little softer, which made Gu Xiaofei stunned for a moment.

It took a while for Gu Xiaofei to realize that he and Xiao Xuechen were so close that his chest almost touched his chest!He hastily stepped back, picked up the towel on the floor, scratched the base of his ears in a daze, and said, "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now..."

He still feels like he's dreaming—it's all so dreamy, so wonderful, so unbelievable, and yet so real.He really lived with the Daxia Xiao whom he dreamed of, practicing kung fu together, having breakfast together, and... so close!

Xiao Xuechen didn't feel anything wrong, turned around and put the dinner plate on the table, and Gu Xiaofei walked over with fluttering steps.

"There are not many ingredients in the refrigerator, and I don't know what you like to eat, so I just made these. If you don't like it, I will change it to something else tomorrow. I have worked in a restaurant, and I still cook a little for breakfast, and I will give it to you every day. Do something different, and don’t carry the same thing for a week!”

"...Thank you." Xiao Xuechen nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It should be! I can't live and eat at your house for free! You and Uncle Fang take care of me so much, so I can do small things if I can. Xiao Xia, you can just concentrate on practicing, and leave all the chores to me!" Gu Xiaofei patted his chest.

The young man's confident expression made Xiao Xuechen's chest feel warm and then sour.Obviously so young, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a child, but he is so sensible, so well-behaved that people like it and make people feel distressed.

Xiao Xuechen smiled lightly: "Well, then I'll leave it all to you."

He lowered his head and took a bite of the bacon, then looked up, and found that Gu Xiaofei, who was opposite him, was dumbstruck again.What happened to him today, is the signal bad?Get disconnected every few minutes?

Gu Xiaofei shuddered, came to his senses, and said in a low voice, "Hero Xiao, this is the first time I've seen a smile."

Xiao Xuechen's personality is cold, his expressions are rare, and smiles are even rarer, as if there is nothing in this filthy world that makes him happy.

Facing Gu Xiaofei today, he smiled unexpectedly.Xiao Xuechen himself felt that this was really rare.

Gu Xiaofei said seriously: "Hero Xiao, you should smile more, it is said that you can resist aging. Uh, I'm not saying you are old, I just... well, I'm stupid and don't know what to say... I just think you look good when you smile... ..."

There are always many people who praise Xiao Xuechen for his good looks.He didn't care much about his appearance, so he never took those compliments to heart, but after being praised by Gu Xiaofei, he was inexplicably happy, and even felt extremely happy.

"There must be something to be happy about." He corrected his expression.

In other words, I am in charge of housework to make Daxia Xiao very happy?Gu Xiaofei wondered.Xiao Daxia's smile is really strange.No wonder he never smiles. It's not that he doesn't have a sense of humor, but that his smiles are inherently strange?

After breakfast, Xiao Xuechen offered to let him do the dishes, but was stopped by Gu Xiaofei.Gu Xiaofei rolled up his sleeves and took care of the housework.Sitting in the living room, Xiao Xuechen, listening to the sound of water coming from the kitchen, felt as if he had become some kind of old man who stretched out his clothes to eat and opened his mouth... a little guilty.

"Shall I take you to work?" he asked.Fang Xinhe's cat cafe didn't open until ten o'clock in the morning, so there was still time to stroll past.

--thump!There was a loud bang from the kitchen.

Xiao Xuechen hurried over, only to see Gu Xiaofei lying face down on the ground, this time he really fell down.Xiao Xuechen helped him up, Gu Xiaofei leaned against the cabinet, rubbed his nose, and smiled silly.

I remember that when the painter's roommate fell in love, he often picked up the girl to and from get off work to please her, and served her early supper along the way.Daxia Xiao didn't fall in love with him, but he cared so much about him. Gu Xiaofei was so moved that he slipped and fell without paying attention, and a hot stream of excitement gushed out of his nasal cavity...

He wiped his nose and his hands were covered with blood.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuechen tapped Gu Xiaofei's acupoints to stop the bleeding, and then found the family medicine box to help Gu Xiaofei wipe off the blood on his face.

"Where does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anywhere!" Gu Xiaofei threw himself on Xiao Xuechen's body, hugged his shoulders tightly, and tightly grabbed the clothes on his back, because his nostrils were blocked by cotton balls, he said in a low voice, "I'm just happy, I'm so overjoyed... ...Xiao Daxia, you are so kind!"

"It's a good person to send you to work? Your standards are too low."

"Anyway...it's very good!" Gu Xiaofei rubbed him hard.

The soft hair scratched Xiao Xuechen's neck, itching, making him want to laugh.Being so good at acting like a spoiled child is not much worse than Fang Xinhe's cat, but...not annoying.

***

After getting into the car, Gu Xiaofei put on his seat belt and said, "I suddenly thought of a question."

"what?"

"Hero Xiao, you are so good at qinggong, wouldn't it be faster to go somewhere and fly directly with qinggong? Why do you drive? Blame the polluting environment and frequent traffic jams."

Xiao Xuechen was taken aback. Since the invention of the means of transportation, he has never thought about such a profound question!

"Your jumping is also very good, don't you still ride a motorcycle while delivering food?" He asked instead of answering, and kicked the ball back to Gu Xiaofei.

"But it's the company's policy for me!" Gu Xiaofei blinked.

"This..." Xiao Xuechen thought hard, "The knights in ancient times were extremely skilled at lightness, and they had to ride horses when traveling. This is..."

"Oh! I understand!" Gu Xiaofei exclaimed suddenly.

——What do you know? !

"It's a status symbol, isn't it!" Gu Xiaofei indulged in his perfect reasoning: fragrant cars, BMWs, famous swords and beauties, a hero must live a chic life, so he would rather drive if it is inconvenient.It's not easy being a hero!

***

"Boss, you recruited new people? Does that mean I'm unemployed!"

As soon as Xiaoqi, the part-time glasses lady of Maoca, heard that Gu Xiaofei was going to work today, she immediately squatted down on the spot and hugged her knees and burst into tears.

"It's too much! Newcomers replace old ones! I have worked here for so many years, and I have worked hard without credit. You treat me like this! Is there any humanity left!"

Fang Xinhe stood aside with black lines all over his face: "What do you call unemployment? I didn't fire you, not only did you not lose your job, but you were promoted! Look, I found you a helper, and from now on you will be... um , is the foreman!"

"Really!" Xiaoqi suddenly raised her head.

"Of course! Come on, Xiaofei, Xiaoqi is your immediate superior, you just obey her arrangement, and if you don't understand, you should ask your seniors for advice, understand?"

"Understood!" Gu Xiaofei replied vigorously, "Sister Xiaoqi, please give me more advice!"

Xiaoqi smiled through tears, wiped away the tears, took Gu Xiaofei's hand and said: "You see, I am really serious. I let you see a joke. Let me take you to familiarize yourself with the environment!" Then she took Gu Xiaofei to visit Maoca's front hall and back kitchen They went, leaving Fang Xinhe, Xiao Xuechen and a bunch of cats staring at each other in the store.

Fang Xinhe broke the awkward silence, and asked with a smile, "Did you have a good day yesterday?"

Xiao Xuechen: "...???" The uncle's question sounds weird...

"I don't mean anything else. Today's young people have their own personalities, and it takes time to get used to it. After getting along for a long time, they will naturally get used to it."

... What is running in?Not married? ? ?

"Anyway, I'm preparing for the martial arts conference. I'll just listen to my uncle's arrangement." Xiao Xuechen said helplessly.

"Ah! Why are you so obedient today! Uncle, I suddenly have a sense of relief that a child has grown up!"

Xiao Xuechen turned his head and left: "I'm going to the martial arts hall."

"Go slowly!" Fang Xinhe waved a small handkerchief conjured from nowhere behind him.Xiao Xuechen thinks that Master Uncle can change his career to become a magician after he washes his hands, which is definitely more promising than practicing martial arts.

***

Xiaoqi took Gu Xiaofei around the store and pointed out the scope of his daily work.After Guangrong was promoted to foreman, Xiaoqi put on the airs of a senior and taught Gu Xiaofei how to take care of cats and how to receive guests.Gu Xiaofei listened respectfully, and accepted Xiaoqi's words as if they were imperial edicts.

"It turns out that raising cats is so complicated...it's so different from the way we raise cats in the countryside..." Gu Xiaofei sighed.

Xiaoqi is proud: "Only by raising cats scientifically can we raise good-looking cats. If cats are not good-looking, why do customers come here? And some of our cats here are breed cats with pedigree certificates, so delicate!"

"Master Fang is obviously a martial artist, why would he come to open a shop?"

"What's so strange about this is that the boss's family is originally a family of Huizhou merchants. It's not normal for the boss to come out to do business. Moreover, there are many people doing business in Wulin. For example, Yuelai Group and Longmen Group are not only giants in the catering industry, It is also well-known in Jianghu. And the most important thing is..."

Xiaoqi suddenly lowered her voice, and said mysteriously: "The boss has been practicing kung fu in the city. Aren't many martial arts based on imitating animals? For example, monkey boxing, mantis boxing and so on. The boss actually kept cats to learn from cats. A set of kung fu has been penetrated into his behavior. When the boss achieves his magical skills in a short time, this set of kung fu will be called..." She thought for a few seconds, and said firmly, "the cat stick method!"

Gu Xiaofei was dumbfounded: "Really?"

"Hahahaha, you are so easy to deceive! These cats are masters, how can they be willing to beat them!" Xiaoqi laughed until she thumped the ground.

***

Maoka's work is going smoothly, with Xiaoqi's guidance, Gu Xiaofei got started very quickly.Taking care of cats is no problem, Gu Xiaofei is very popular with small animals, and those naughty cats are all very good in his hands.

But he is not very good at entertaining guests.Most of the cat cafe's customers are women, and seeing the newcomer, who is such a cute and handsome boy, the customers instantly turned into strange sisters and aunts, and teased Gu Xiaofei until his face turned red.And Gu Xiaofei's shyness made them even more excited, thus forming a virtuous (?) circle.Someone secretly took a few photos of "Little Brother Cat Cafe" and posted them on Weibo, which became popular in a small area.Seeing this, Fang Xinhe slapped his thigh excitedly: "Emma, ​​my shop is going to become an online celebrity shop!"

After returning home, Gu Xiaofei didn't stay idle, and practiced martial arts with Xiao Xuechen every day.Xiao Xuechen found that he was not good at using weapons, so he simply gave up his sword and fought him empty-handed.

"Is it really okay if you don't use a sword?" Gu Xiaofei asked after avoiding Xiao Xuechen's palm with a body turning movement.

"A weapon is nothing more than an extension of the body, and such practice is beneficial to me."

Gu Xiaofei didn't quite understand the key points, but what Xiao Xuechen said was right!As long as he can be useful, he is willing to do whatever Xiao Xuechen asks him to do, and he will do whatever he wants!

In the second half of April, the weather is getting hotter.After a competition, Gu Xiaofei was hot and sweaty, and Xiao Xuechen was not much better.

"That's it for today. Go home for dinner." He lifted the hem of his T-shirt and wiped the water from his forehead.

After walking a few steps, he found that Gu Xiaofei hadn't followed, turned his head in doubt, and found that the boy was staring at him with indescribably strange eyes.

"...Do you want to continue practicing?" Xiao Xuechen pondered for a long time, thinking that this was the only possibility.

"No! Uh, let's go back!" Gu Xiaofei followed with his head buried.

He couldn't say that he was in a daze because...he saw Xiao Xuechen's abdominal muscles just now.

Xiao Xuechen has practiced martial arts for many years, and his muscles are naturally strong, but that kind of firmness is different from the bodybuilders trained in the gym. It is a kind of natural vigor without decoration. Every muscle is prepared for strength and speed. It is thin but not lost The beauty, especially those two deep mermaid lines, made Gu Xiaofei salivate.

Strange, why should I drool over a man's figure?Gu Xiaofei himself was also puzzled.He thought about it, and clapped his hands: That's it!I see!It must be because I also want to have a good figure like Xiao Xuechen!Which man does not wish he has a body of muscles?

Back in the room, Xiao Xuechen took off his sweaty T-shirt without avoiding Gu Xiaofei's gaze.They are all men, so there is no need to be twitchy, and the disciples of the Lingxu Sect also live in a group, and they have long been used to it.Gu Xiaofei stared at Xiao Xuechen's undulating back muscles, and sucked in a mouthful of saliva.

Under the light, he noticed a light-colored scar on Xiao Xuechen's back.It is common for martial arts practitioners to be injured, but the scars are very hideous and terrifying. One can tell at a glance that they were caused by sharp weapons, and one does not know what kind of serious injury caused such scars.

He let out a soft "ah", and Xiao Xuechen turned around when he heard the sound: "What's wrong?"

There is also a similar scar on the corresponding position on his chest.Gu Xiaofei immediately realized that he was pierced by someone with a sharp weapon, leaving such a wound.

"Your injury..."

Xiao Xuechen looked down at his chest, trying to cover up the scar, but felt that this was trying to cover up, so he simply did nothing. "I was attacked by gangsters when I was besieging the Devil's Cult." He glanced at Gu Xiaofei, and found that the young man's face was pale, probably because he was frightened, and quickly added, "It's no big deal."

Gu Xiaofei recalled in a daze that Xiao Xuechen had said that he was injured during the Demon Cult War, so that he could not participate in the subsequent martial arts conference.How painful would it be to be pierced through the chest with a sword?
