The silly and sweet spring of crossing

Chapter 33. The Journey (3)

After that, He Lanyuzhi's contact was always gentle and fleeting, which made Qiu Baichen, who was at a loss what to do, feel a little unsatisfied.He Lan Yuzhi always took advantage of various opportunities to get close to him, hug him, kiss him, or just look at him and smile.Qiu Baichen felt that he was going crazy, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

Because he felt that facing He Lanyuzhi's blatant seduction, everyone should be hooked.Qiu Baichen doesn't know whether he really likes her or is deceived.

"Hey, He Nan." Qiu Baichen's heart was beating wildly, he stared at He Lan Yuzhi blankly, He Lan Yuzhi leaned over and kissed his lips, no further, just a light touch.For a moment, Qiu Baichen felt that he could promise him anything, if he said he wanted to be with him, he would probably agree right away.

However, after He Lanyu's kiss was over, he went back to sleep.He lay on the bed, recalling the feeling just now, his palms were sweaty, and his heart was beating wildly.

He could only pretend that he was not nervous in front of Qiu Baichen, but he couldn't hide it from himself, which made him run away.

Seeing that He Lanyuzhi went to sleep, Qiu Baichen felt a little sad, but now that Helan Yuzhi's bewitching time has almost passed, Qiu Baichen will not throw himself into the trap, he will continue to bury his head in the sand like an ostrich.

The two fell asleep like this. In the quiet night, He Lanyuzhi had a dream.

He dreamed that he was wearing dark blue clothes, with a long sword on his body, and was fighting with people.There were several people lying around him in a mess, all bleeding from their bodies.He looked at himself, and he was bleeding too.Those men were after him, and he struggled with them as he searched for safety.

The panic in the dream seemed to be real, He Lanyu's breathing became short of breath, he turned over, in the dream, he was running all the time, his mind was blank, only survival instinct remained.

He has been running, has been running, I don't know how long he ran, and finally got rid of them.He didn't even have time to deal with the wounds on his body, so he just rested for a while, and then continued walking, wanting to reach a place that they would not find.

He saw the back of a person, the figure of that person was somewhat familiar, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he took out the dagger on his body and strangled his neck.

"Shut up," he heard himself say.

He felt a little dizzy, probably because he had lost too much blood, and he was still on his way. In fact, he didn't have much strength in his body. As long as the opponent struggled a little, he could break free.

"You, who are you?" He heard the person he held hostage say.

"He..."

The dream came to an abrupt end, and the morning sun shone into the room, awakening He Lanyuzhi.He Lanyuzhi opened his eyes, touched his chest, and forgot what dream he had at night and why he was so flustered.

He got up from the bed, looked at Qiu Baichen who was still sleeping on the next bed, touched his forehead, and kissed him with his head down.Qiu Baichen's eyelashes trembled, and he also opened his eyes, his cheeks were red, and he looked at him with a look that He Lanyu liked very much.

"Morning." He Lanyu said.

"Morning." Qiu Baichen felt that he was almost getting used to He Lan Yuzhi's good morning kiss. He sat up, saw He Lan Yuzhi's hand hanging by his side, and reached out to touch it mysteriously.

"Why is it so cold?" Qiu Baichen asked.

"It must have been a nightmare, but I don't remember what it was." He Lanyuzhi didn't lie to Qiu Baichen casually, Qiu Baichen looked at his face, He Lanyuzhi's face was indeed a little pale, unexpectedly a little pitiful.

"It's fine if you don't remember it." Qiu Baichen said, as long as you don't remember your dreams, it usually won't have any bad effects on people.He and He Lanyuzhi cleaned up and washed, and by the way, told about the opening of a branch.

"I went to talk to Cao Lian about opening a branch yesterday. He's preparing for it. When he's ready, come over and call us." Qiu Baichen said, "I put the design of the new store in the drawer of the study. Take a look. Is there any room for improvement.”

He Lanyuzhi had already tidied up, nodded, and went over to take out his blueprints to look at.Qiu Baichen is good at making lanterns and painting, and the storefront he designed looks pretty good, but there are some things that are not right and need attention.He Lanyuzhi took Qiu Baichen's usual charcoal pen to make corrections on it. This pen is much easier to use than a brush. As for the posture of holding the pen, he learned it after watching Qiu Baichen use it a few times.

They are changing the picture here, while the apprentices are cooking with Lu Ping over there.Cooking porridge, steaming a steamed bun is considered simple, even the apprentices, including Wang Xian, are struggling. They started cooking when they were very young, and they all basically understand the process, but no one teaches them. The things they make are just Barely edible.

Lu Ping took this group of boys to make steamed buns. At the beginning, everyone's buns were not very good-looking, but in the end, they were all pretty good.The porridge was also cooked, Lu Ping went to cut some shredded pickles, poured chili oil on it, and served it for everyone to eat together.

The people here in Xinfang City are not addicted to spicy food, and their taste is relatively light.However, Qiu Baichen likes to eat something spicy, so he usually prepares some condiments such as chili and pepper. Everyone is used to it, and they feel that there is something missing if there is no spicy taste.

Today's steamed stuffed buns are not as well-proportioned as they used to be, but the apprentices are very happy, and after the steamed stuffed buns are cooked, they start looking for their own ones to eat.Qiu Baichen picked out a good-looking one, put it on He Lanyuzhi's plate, and then ate another one by himself as if nothing had happened.Sweet potatoes are added to today's porridge, which is sweet and delicious.

He Lanyu lowered his head to eat the buns, he and Qiu Baichen were doing it next to each other, and poked Qiu Baichen lightly with the other hand.Qiu Baichen felt his movement, but he didn't move. The two of them finished their meal in such an ambiguous way, and went back to their respective affairs.

Qiu Baichen had to prepare the lamps for opening the branch, and He Lanyuzhi also had to go out to buy various utensils, and also had to find a suitable shopkeeper and assistant to work there.The shopkeepers and shop assistants here are already quite proficient, and Qiu Baichen also provides them with lamps for their own use because of the high monthly fee.Therefore, when He Lanyuzhi asked, the shopkeeper introduced a friend of his to He Lanyuzhi, who had also been the shopkeeper for many years. If he could come, the business would definitely go much smoother.

The guys also said that their old friends wanted to come when they heard about their treatment, and when they went back, they asked them if they wanted to come.He Lanyu nodded to express his gratitude, but he also wanted them to make it clear that he had to pass the inspection first if he wanted to come.

Everyone naturally agreed, after all, they were inspected when they first came in, and everyone knows the truth of being careful when sailing for thousands of years.

This saves He Lanyuzhi's energy, and the people introduced by everyone are also qualified, except for one or two of them who are a little tricky, He Lanyuzhi doesn't want it.The new shopkeeper was about the same age as the shopkeeper of the main store, he was squarer, and he was very kind.

However, apprentices still have to be selected. This time, three more students will be accepted as apprentices under Qiu Baichen.Most of the apprentices that can be found here are not locals of Xinfang City, some of them escaped from outside.He Lanyuzhi picked six of them to take back, and asked Qiu Baichen to take the school exam.Originally, I wanted to accept three, but among the six, except for two who are a bit clumsy, the other four are not bad, young and smart.

It was simply a matter of adding a pair of bowls and chopsticks, so Qiu Baichen accepted them all.He Lanyuzhi went to buy some quilts and asked them to stay in Wang Xian's room.

Everything is being prepared in an orderly manner, Qiu Baichen is not too anxious, the store over there is very clean.He Lanyuzhi was watching the decoration over there every day, and Xiao Chuliu was playing at home.He is two years old. According to the memory of his previous life, Qiu Baichen made him a pair of wooden building blocks and put them in a small box.Qiu Baichen cut and polished the wooden blocks by himself.The sixth grade of junior high school is just able to build building blocks and exercise the dexterity of fingers.Generally, children can play with building blocks until they are five or six years old and are not tired of it.

Junior Six is ​​like Qiu Baichen. Although he is full of energy, he is actually quiet and focused on doing things.The apprentices were making lanterns, Xiao Chuliu built building blocks beside Qiu Baichen, and Qiu Baichen made the signature revolving lantern, which was so big that it was taller than Xiaochuliu.

"Daddy, look." Xiao Chuliu thought the building blocks he built were very beautiful, so he called him Qiu Baichen and showed off to him.Qiu Baichen looked carefully, although he couldn't see what he had done, but he still patted his head.

"The sixth day is the best. How can this building block be built so well?"

Children always like to be praised. Xiao Chuli was delighted to hear Qiu Baichen's words. He stood up and walked around the yard, as if he was looking for something interesting. Finally, he went to the kitchen and found his favorite food in the cupboard. Milk cake.

"Auntie, I want to eat milk cake." He went to Lu Ping's place again, looked at Lu Ping eagerly, and Lu Ping wanted to laugh seeing his small appearance.

"Well, give your father some too." The milk cake was made by Lu Ping today, and he hadn't given it to him to eat, so he saw the child running around.

"Yeah." Xiao Chuliu then went back to get the milk cake, took a small plate over, fed a piece to his father, thought about it, and fed another piece to Wang Xian.

"Brother, eat." Xiao Chuliu smiled sweetly, Wang Xian stopped what he was doing, his hands were not clean, so Xiao Chuliu fed them into his mouth.After giving it to Wang Xian, Xiao Chuliu held the milk cake and sat down on his small bench, eating while watching Qiu Baichen's work.
