I'm super delicate
Chapter 56
Xi Changlin asked what happened to the system, the latter didn't make a sound, just shook out the light curtain silently, and replayed the scene just now - this thing even recorded the video.
On both sides of the road leading to the gate of the old house, there are large bamboo forests, full of greenery and refreshing. Guan Li and Guan Tong came through one of them.Through the gaps between the green bamboos one after another, you can clearly see the two holding hands together.
This is not finished.
When they were about to walk out of the bamboo forest, Guan Zhi suddenly pulled Guan Li, raised his hand to hook the latter's neck, smiled and bit the man's lip.
After Xi Changlin finished reading, the flash of inspiration in his mind was finally caught again—it turned out that the two brothers got together.
Somewhat unexpected, but Xi Changlin has a wealth of experience. He has lived for hundreds of years. He has even seen three generations sharing the same bed, mother and daughter serving one husband and other lewd scenes. Sorry for making too much noise.
The young man glanced at He Chi without changing his expression, took away the Pu'er tea from the latter's hand, and pushed a small plate of ham and potato salad that was newly served in front of him.
"Don't want to eat?" He Chi smiled and rubbed Xi Changlin's head.
Xi Changlin opened his eyes and said nonsense: "The weather is a bit dull, I have no appetite."
"Do you not want to eat anymore at that moment?" He Chi asked again.
The young man's nostrils fluttered, as if he was sniffing the aroma from the kitchen and distinguishing the dishes.After sniffing, he leaned his head back on the sofa and said slowly, "Let's talk about it when we eat."
He Chi lowered his head and swept his watch: "It's already twelve o'clock."
Xi Changlin covered his lips and yawned. About three or four seconds later, he got up from the soft sofa. At this time, Guan Li and Guan Zhi happened to enter the door, and Yan Xinting came downstairs pushing Guan Tong's wheelchair.
The three parties gathered together, Xi Changlin tilted his head, bent his eyes and smiled lightly, and shouted "Hi, elder brother, second brother".
The addressing between them has always been a bit confusing. Xi Changlin called Yan Xinting and Guan Tong Mrs. Madam, but he still called Guan Li and Guan Zhi brother, because once he called them "young master" unfamiliarly, it meant that his status would be lowered. Wait a minute.
Even though Xi Changlin Jinguan was only 12 years old, he already understood this truth.
Guan Zhi didn't agree with Xi Changlin calling him "Second Brother" at first, but Guan Tong scolded him for Xi Changlin for the first time. Due to his father's majesty, he had to give up.
Facing Xi Changlin's proactive greeting, Guan Li nodded lightly, and then greeted He Chi.
Guan Li as an adult is not the same as when he was in middle school.
When I was in middle school, I was shadowed by my parents to be lawless, and my emotions were very exposed. After all, even if someone beats someone or kills someone, someone will clean up the mess.But in the end, Guan Tong threw him into the shopping mall, only gave him the initial funds, no follow-up support, and let him struggle alone, and his hostility gradually subsided.
Now Guan Li is like a sword in its sheath, and Leng Feng still exists, but he can't see it.
"It's been a long time, my brother." Guan Zhi had a smile on his face as always, and he had hidden a knife in his smile for ten years.
After greeting Xi Changlin, Guan Zhi shifted his gaze to He Chi, stretched out his hand to him, and said, "Mr. He, I have been fishing by the stream before, so I am really rude for not being able to greet him in person."
For this second son, Guan Tong should pamper him a little more, instead of treating him like a child like an eagle, probably because Guan Zhi always smiles and has a sweet mouth, which is more pleasing than Guan Li.
But now he is really rude, how can he condescendingly signal to the senior to shake hands?
The wheelchair slid and dragged on the ground, Yan Xinting pushed Guan Tong over, and with a light reprimand, called her youngest son's name.
He Chi said "It's okay", and passed his hand to Xi Changlin.This time the young man slapped him away without refusing, but it was only a symbolic pull, allowing He Chi to stand up.But he held it, and he didn't let go.
In terms of height, He Chi was much taller than everyone present. With this advantage, the condescending person became him in an instant, but he just glanced at Guan Zhi and passed.
Xi Changlin still had a smile on his face.
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became weird.Xi Changlin slowly hooked He Chi's little finger in an invisible place, rolled his eyes, and said, "Then second brother, did you catch any fish?"
Guan Zhi spread his hands: "A pregnant catfish and a pitifully small crucian carp were caught, and they were released."
Xi Changlin expressed emotion: "Second brother is really kind."
"At the beginning of human beings, human nature is inherently good. This is what Wang Yinglin said more than 1000 years ago." Guan Zhi smiled and patted Xi Changlin on the shoulder a few times, "But Mom caught a very fat perch, and you are indispensable."
Xi Changlin pursed his lips and smiled.
The old butler quietly appeared in the corner of the living room, and gestured to Yan Xinting, indicating that she could eat.
Guan Tong's turbid eyeballs turned and turned, and his body also had a faint tendency to lean forward. Yan Xinting immediately held him down, turned the wheelchair, and at the same time looked sideways at Xi Changlin and the others: "The kitchen is ready, Mr. He, Changlin, come over to eat."
Xi Changlin motioned for the two brothers of the Guan family to invite first, and he and He Chi fell behind them.
In their gestures, at first Xi Changlin was holding He Chi's hand, but during the words, the latter turned his back on him, squeezing his five fingers into his, and clasping them together with him.Unable to get rid of it, Xi Changlin glared at He Chi while no one was watching.
The latter raised his eyebrows, raised the hands of the two together, and pecked and kissed Xi Changlin's ring finger.
"You delivered it yourself." He Chi mouthed Xi Changlin.
At this time, Guan Zhi suddenly turned around: "How long have you stayed in Ninghai City this time?"
"I'll go back when the scene is finished." Xi Changlin gave He Chi another fierce look, then turned his head and said to Guan Zhi.
"It's really busy." Guan Zhi smiled meaningfully, "Can you spare some time to come over these days? Dad has always missed you."
Xi Changlin gave the same answer as Yan Xinting asked earlier: "I will try my best."
"Will Director He be with you then?" Guan Zhi asked He Chi.
"We'll talk about it later." He Chi didn't give a clear answer.
"I was really rude today, I hope I can make up for it next time we meet." Guan Zhi still smiled, as if he was really sorry for his lack of courtesy.
He Chi nodded perfunctorily, Guan Zhi turned around, quickened his pace, and stood side by side with Guan Li.
Soon came to the restaurant, the same style as the outside, everything here is full of Southwestern style, including the dishes on the lacquered rosewood round table.
The taste in the southwestern region is spicy, heavy oil and salt. Because of Xi Changlin's thoughtless words before, the chef made most of the dishes return to bland.
Xi Changlin said rather self-deprecatingly in his heart, "I didn't expect to reap the consequences of myself like this", and the system burst into laughter.
At the table, the Patriarch of the Guan family took the main seat, He Chi sat opposite him, and Xi Changlin sat next to He Chi.Yan Xinting chose Guan Tong's right, which happened to be next to Xi Changlin, while Guan Li sat on his left, with Guan Zhi beside him.
Guan Tong didn't have the ability to take care of himself, and his meals were different from this big table. The butler delivered them to Yan Xinting and she fed them herself.Yan Xinting's movements are proficient, and she can see that she often does this.
Abnormalities must be demons, after all, Xi Changlin remembers that the relationship between the two husbands and wives is not harmonious.People respect each other like guests, and they respect each other like ice. Sometimes, for some matters in the company, these two people can smash all the things at home.
After sizing up Yan Xinting and Guan Tong, Xi Changlin asked some questions about the patriarch's physical condition and dietary restrictions, and then moved his gaze to the opposite side without any trace.
Although they deliberately concealed it, there was still some ambiguity between Guan Li and Guan Zhi.
Guan Li and Guan Zhi have similar eyebrows and eyes, they both follow their mother Yan Xinting.
The difference between the two brothers lies in their lips. Guan Li's lips are thin, and when he purses them, he has an indifference taste that is not close to others. This comes from Guan Tong; Guan Zhi is different, his lips are full, and his smile is like a seductive flower. Yes, especially when facing Guan Li.
As the elder brother, Guan Li served Guan Zhi soup with familiar and natural movements. When he put the soup bowl in front of Guan Zhi, the latter used the dishes on the table as a cover to pinch Guan Li's wrist.
Although Xi Changlin couldn't directly see this series of actions, the system shook the light curtain again and broadcast him a live broadcast.
"You took back the invisible camera from Jia Guoping, aren't you having fun?" Xi Changlin said to the system with a half-smile.
"This system is working hard to be your eyes, helping you see the distance and behind you that you can't see." The system said solemnly, "Besides, things will get moldy if they are left idle, I have to make them fully functional. "
Xi Changlin praised, "You are really thrifty and housekeeping".
Suddenly, something cool moved up Xi Changlin's ankle, his brows frowned, and some bad thoughts flashed in his mind, but then, he immediately realized what it was, absolutely nothing. Kick it mercilessly.
He put the bitter gourd that he didn't like into He Chi's bowl with a smile on his face, half-closed his eyes and whispered: "Clearing heat and detoxifying, a must-have cool food in summer, and it's our Ninghai city's cool food." The characteristic hot and sour taste is crisp and refreshing."
He Chi was kicked, but his expression did not change, he calmly accepted the bitter gourd with chopsticks, and returned a piece of white radish.
The Chinese have always had the habit of talking about things at the dinner and wine tables, but the Guan family banquets do not talk about food.Except for the few words Xi Changlin and Yan Xinting said at the beginning, no one spoke after that, and there was no collision of bowls and chopsticks, and the meal was eaten in silence.
The etiquette is well-bred and the atmosphere is frighteningly cold.
So Xi Changlin never liked eating at Guan's house. No matter how delicious the food was, sitting at the same table with such a person would be tasteless.
He reluctantly drank two bowls of soup, and ate a few slices of meat and a few vegetables, then stopped his chopsticks and smiled politely: "I'm done eating, you take it easy."
He Chi then put down the spoon in his hand, and helped Xi Changlin pass over the hot towel and napkin that were prepared aside to dry his hands.
Yan Xinting, the mistress of the Guan family, immediately put on an air of concern, "How can I only eat this little? Is it because the journey here is too tiring, so I'll ask the kitchen to cook some porridge?"
"The weather is too boring." He Chi answered for Xi Changlin.
The mistress of the Guan family wanted to say something more, but she was interrupted by Xi Changlin as soon as she opened her mouth.The young man was smiling, cute and pretty: "I'll take He Chi outside for a walk, you guys eat slowly, don't worry about us."
After speaking, he pulled He Chi to stand up, passed the butler standing by the table, and walked out.
When he left, he made the best use of the stealth camera that the system had just recovered, and put it beside Guan Zhi to follow.
The sky is as it was when it came, with cloudy clouds gathering and hanging down, although the wind is still cool, but it is indeed a bit stuffy.
Emi brought umbrellas to the two, but did not leave the Guan family's old house with them.
Xi Changlin took He Chi around to the old house, and walked on a path that few people tread.
"There is a kind of flower with a lot of nectar here." Xi Changlin waved a 10 RMB Rolls-Royce umbrella to open the way, and his tone of voice was much lighter than that in the old house. "There are many colors of flowers, red and white. , I used to like to come here when I sneaked out to play, and snatched those flowers with the bees."
He Chi followed behind him and chuckled softly: "I can't tell, we, Xi Miao, grew up eating flowers."
The young man let out a "huh", turned his head halfway back, and said "oh", "I forgot, Chi Chi, you didn't have a childhood."
"Tsk, how do you say that?"
"Have you ever gone down the river to catch crabs, loaches and tadpoles? Have you climbed trees, gnawed grass leaves, eaten unwashed mulberries? Have you ever rolled around on the ground and played card games with your friends? None...No How can these experiences be called childhood!"
He Chi: "..."
"After all, these behaviors are very uneducated in the eyes of your big family." Xi Changlin sighed, bent over and folded a piece of dog's tail grass, bent his eyes and poked behind him.
"Compared to yours, my childhood was really boring." He Chi raised half of his brows, stretched out his hand to hold the end of the dog's tail grass, and said with a low laugh, "Endless lessons, riding, bow and arrow, etiquette, Decision-making, economics, politics, philosophy, language...even painting and music. Since I was six years old, I have been busy and serious every day, and I have no time to play in the wild."
He Chi's tone was flat, and Xi Changlin easily sketched out that picture in his mind - a small person with heavy books, running around in different rooms and meeting different teachers every day, and the sky outside the window was clear, but he couldn't do anything. A free-flying bird.
Xi Changlin let go of the dog's tail and watched it hang in the air as He Chi grabbed its furry "head".
"Chichi, you've worked so hard." The young man took advantage of the sloping terrain, stood on a high place, and patted He Chi's head.
"It's not hard work." He Chi raised his eyes and stared at Xi Changlin's eyes, those eyes were clear, as if a star had been turned upside down, "If you didn't work hard at the beginning, you wouldn't be able to stand here now."
Xi Changlin raised his hand to paste the dog's tail straw, but the smile in his eyes did not diminish.After a while, he turned back and continued walking forward, saying, "After walking for about seven or eight minutes, you can see a waterfall. The water there is very clear and cool."
He Chi came up, walked side by side with Xi Changlin, and laughed at him: "Did you touch fish down there when you were young?"
"Please, what good does it do for me to touch the fish? Taking it back is only for training." Xi Changlin rolled his eyes, "This rich family likes to sit and fish by the river and lake to temper their xinxing."
Xi Changlin called He Chi out not really to miss his childhood or reminisce about the past, he wanted to leave room for the two brothers of the Guan family and Yan Xinting to react, but it turned out that these people were very vigilant, and chatting after dinner Trivial matters at work and at home, nothing about Xi Changlin and Guan Tong was involved.
So the two of them walked and stopped on the hillside behind the Guan family's old house for about half an hour, then turned back and drove away from Tashan.
Remembering that Xi Changlin only moved a few chopsticks on the dining table, He Chi took out a chocolate bar and handed it to him: "Stop your belly, we'll eat something else after we get off the highway."
"I really want to eat spicy crayfish." Xi Changlin hugged the salted fish, leaning his head against the car window, and did not reach out to catch it.
He Chi raised his eyebrows: "Slightly spicy crayfish with vinegar?"
"Isn't that the same as having no spicy taste?" Xi Changlin raised his foot and kicked He Chi's ankle, probably out of revenge.
"Then don't even think about it, it can be steamed crayfish at most." He Chi said while hooking the man's unretracted leg.
Xi Changlin pulled his leg like a carrot, and said through gritted teeth, "Steamed crayfish dipped in chili?"
"Do you think I'll agree?" He Chi stared at him, speaking softly.
"Ah—abuse—I'm on a hunger strike—" Xi Changlin wailed miserably, and buried his face in the salted fish pillow.
He Chi snorted and said, "Roll over, show your belly, let me scratch it, and I will agree with you."
"Impossible." Xi Changlin knocked He Chi's outstretched hand away with a salted fish leg. After a few seconds, he belatedly remembered that he had hands, feet and money. Why did he have to ask He Chi to agree to eat anything? OK?
The young man looked out the window and fell into deep thought. He Chi didn't know what he was thinking, so he began to coax him to eat Cantonese food.
"Can morning tea that can be eaten all day long be called morning tea?"
"You really think something bland would suit me?"
"Baizhuo, Baizhuo, Baizhuo, I will kill you when I go back!"
"..."
Xi Changlin sat up straight with a straight face, glaring at He Chi while picking at him.
"It's precisely because Cantonese cuisine is delicious and not greasy, so you can eat it for a long time." He Chi raised his hand to Xi Changlin Shunmao, "You can sit at the table and eat all afternoon and talk about what you want, right?"
"Can't coffee shops do this kind of thing?" Xi Changlin said.
He Chi replied seriously: "But there are usually only desserts and biscuits in coffee shops."
Xi Changlin: "Why don't you just refuse to try the delicious, spicy and delicious crayfish?"
"Because eating too much is bad for your stomach." He Chi said helplessly.
Xi Changlin let out a long sigh, took out his phone, opened the takeaway app, and ordered a large serving of spicy crayfish.
"Ding-dong-"
The payment is successful and the merchant has accepted the order.
He Chi glanced down, took out his mobile phone, and gritted his teeth and asked, "Where did you fill in the address?"
"Guess." Xi Changlin laughed.
The man on the opposite side took Xi Changlin's cell phone away with a feint, and put it back in his hand after scanning the address with his head down.
"Then I'll order Cantonese food. You, a one-kilogram Ma Xiao with shells, and I, a big table of Cantonese food, you are not allowed to eat mine after you finish eating." He Chi patted Xi Changlin's cheek and snorted coldly.
Xi Changlin: "..." Childish or not?
He didn't talk to He Chi any more along the way.
In the middle of the car, the phone rang twice, which were two people's takeaways, and both of them asked the delivery man to put the things at the front desk of the hotel.
When the car arrived at the underground garage of the hotel, Xi Changlin pushed the car door, stepped on the ground with a sneer, and walked very fast.
Emi's parking location was chosen very well, just opposite the elevator, and the elevator happened to stop at the negative floor at this time.
He Chi walked around from the other side of the Rolls-Royce, only had time to say "Hey", and saw Xi Changlin standing inside the elevator, and the two metal doors slowly closed.
"Is he really angry?" He Chi asked Emi.
"If you are asking about Mr. Xi's system, he will be able to give a definite answer." Emi replied sternly.
Xi Changlin returned to the penthouse suite nearly half a minute later than He. When the latter opened the door, the smell of spicy crayfish filled the living room, and the lunch box occupied the entire table, leaving no room for Cantonese cuisine.
"Xi Miao, even if you are angry, you don't have to do that, right?" He Chi stood at the door, put the lunch box on the cabinet in the entrance, and said softly.
"I'm not angry." Xi Changlin said casually, with a light voice, without raising his head, and concentrated on peeling the lobster shells, "It's just that there is really no room for you, but isn't there a table in the restaurant? Go there by yourself."
He Chi stared at Xi Changlin for a moment with downcast eyes, put on his slippers, picked up the two boxes of dishes and walked to the restaurant, laying out the dishes one by one. During this time, Xi Changlin peeled three lobsters and dipped the lobster meat into the bottom of the plate. Eat the soup.
He took out a bowl of soup, added another bowl of rice, then walked up to Xi Changlin, and began to transfer the lunch box containing crayfish.
"What are you doing!" Xi Changlin raised his eyelids and stared at He Chi expressionlessly.
"Come over for dinner." He Chi stacked several lunch boxes together, held them up with one hand, then bent slightly, and pulled Xi Changlin up.
The latter reluctantly walked behind He Chi, kicking his shoes, and was pushed into a chair by his shoulders. Then the plastic sleeves on his hands were taken off, his paws were wiped dry, and stuffed into a spoon.
The five-finger Maotao Chicken Soup was fragrant and delicious. Xi Changlin took a sip, his expression not tense, and finally burst out laughing.
"Don't be angry anymore?" He Chi sat across from him, grabbed the plastic gloves and put them on, skillfully separated the crayfish shell from the meat, and put the meat into a clean porcelain plate.
"I'm really not angry." Xi Changlin said.
Two catties of crayfish are eaten by one person and peeled by one person, and they will soon bottom out, leaving only some side dishes soaked in the soup.He Chi threw away the lunch box, took off his gloves and said, "I installed surveillance cameras in the old house of the Guan family."
Xi Changlin bent his eyes: "What a coincidence, I put it next to Guan Zhi."
He Chi: "Then you should know that most of the afternoon has passed. Although the two brothers of the Guan family stayed together, they did nothing else. And the housekeeper is doing his best to organize his servants to clean the old house."
"Well, I'm afraid I'll put in a wiretapping device or a pinhole camera." Xi Changlin shrugged indifferently, "But who would have thought that I have a cheat, and they couldn't find it after all the digging."
"I also asked Emi to scan the entire Guan family's old house, how about you?"
"Everyone in my family completed this task on their own initiative without giving instructions."
He Chi smiled and opened the light curtain, using props to share: "Okay, now let's check the answer and find fault?"
On both sides of the road leading to the gate of the old house, there are large bamboo forests, full of greenery and refreshing. Guan Li and Guan Tong came through one of them.Through the gaps between the green bamboos one after another, you can clearly see the two holding hands together.
This is not finished.
When they were about to walk out of the bamboo forest, Guan Zhi suddenly pulled Guan Li, raised his hand to hook the latter's neck, smiled and bit the man's lip.

He reluctantly drank two bowls of soup, and ate a few slices of meat and a few vegetables, then stopped his chopsticks and smiled politely: "I'm done eating, you take it easy."
He Chi then put down the spoon in his hand, and helped Xi Changlin pass over the hot towel and napkin that were prepared aside to dry his hands.
Yan Xinting, the mistress of the Guan family, immediately put on an air of concern, "How can I only eat this little? Is it because the journey here is too tiring, so I'll ask the kitchen to cook some porridge?"
"The weather is too boring." He Chi answered for Xi Changlin.
The mistress of the Guan family wanted to say something more, but she was interrupted by Xi Changlin as soon as she opened her mouth.The young man was smiling, cute and pretty: "I'll take He Chi outside for a walk, you guys eat slowly, don't worry about us."
After speaking, he pulled He Chi to stand up, passed the butler standing by the table, and walked out.
When he left, he made the best use of the stealth camera that the system had just recovered, and put it beside Guan Zhi to follow.
The sky is as it was when it came, with cloudy clouds gathering and hanging down, although the wind is still cool, but it is indeed a bit stuffy.
Emi brought umbrellas to the two, but did not leave the Guan family's old house with them.
Xi Changlin took He Chi around to the old house, and walked on a path that few people tread.
"There is a kind of flower with a lot of nectar here." Xi Changlin waved a 10 RMB Rolls-Royce umbrella to open the way, and his tone of voice was much lighter than that in the old house. "There are many colors of flowers, red and white. , I used to like to come here when I sneaked out to play, and snatched those flowers with the bees."
He Chi followed behind him and chuckled softly: "I can't tell, we, Xi Miao, grew up eating flowers."
The young man let out a "huh", turned his head halfway back, and said "oh", "I forgot, Chi Chi, you didn't have a childhood."
"Tsk, how do you say that?"
"Have you ever gone down the river to catch crabs, loaches and tadpoles? Have you climbed trees, gnawed grass leaves, eaten unwashed mulberries? Have you ever rolled around on the ground and played card games with your friends? None...No How can these experiences be called childhood!"
He Chi: "..."
"After all, these behaviors are very uneducated in the eyes of your big family." Xi Changlin sighed, bent over and folded a piece of dog's tail grass, bent his eyes and poked behind him.
"Compared to yours, my childhood was really boring." He Chi raised half of his brows, stretched out his hand to hold the end of the dog's tail grass, and said with a low laugh, "Endless lessons, riding, bow and arrow, etiquette, Decision-making, economics, politics, philosophy, language...even painting and music. Since I was six years old, I have been busy and serious every day, and I have no time to play in the wild."
He Chi's tone was flat, and Xi Changlin easily sketched out that picture in his mind - a small person with heavy books, running around in different rooms and meeting different teachers every day, and the sky outside the window was clear, but he couldn't do anything. A free-flying bird.
Xi Changlin let go of the dog's tail and watched it hang in the air as He Chi grabbed its furry "head".
"Chichi, you've worked so hard." The young man took advantage of the sloping terrain, stood on a high place, and patted He Chi's head.
"It's not hard work." He Chi raised his eyes and stared at Xi Changlin's eyes, those eyes were clear, as if a star had been turned upside down, "If you didn't work hard at the beginning, you wouldn't be able to stand here now."
Xi Changlin raised his hand to paste the dog's tail straw, but the smile in his eyes did not diminish.After a while, he turned back and continued walking forward, saying, "After walking for about seven or eight minutes, you can see a waterfall. The water there is very clear and cool."
He Chi came up, walked side by side with Xi Changlin, and laughed at him: "Did you touch fish down there when you were young?"
"Please, what good does it do for me to touch the fish? Taking it back is only for training." Xi Changlin rolled his eyes, "This rich family likes to sit and fish by the river and lake to temper their xinxing."
Xi Changlin called He Chi out not really to miss his childhood or reminisce about the past, he wanted to leave room for the two brothers of the Guan family and Yan Xinting to react, but it turned out that these people were very vigilant, and chatting after dinner Trivial matters at work and at home, nothing about Xi Changlin and Guan Tong was involved.
So the two of them walked and stopped on the hillside behind the Guan family's old house for about half an hour, then turned back and drove away from Tashan.
Remembering that Xi Changlin only moved a few chopsticks on the dining table, He Chi took out a chocolate bar and handed it to him: "Stop your belly, we'll eat something else after we get off the highway."
"I really want to eat spicy crayfish." Xi Changlin hugged the salted fish, leaning his head against the car window, and did not reach out to catch it.
He Chi raised his eyebrows: "Slightly spicy crayfish with vinegar?"
"Isn't that the same as having no spicy taste?" Xi Changlin raised his foot and kicked He Chi's ankle, probably out of revenge.
"Then don't even think about it, it can be steamed crayfish at most." He Chi said while hooking the man's unretracted leg.
Xi Changlin pulled his leg like a carrot, and said through gritted teeth, "Steamed crayfish dipped in chili?"
"Do you think I'll agree?" He Chi stared at him, speaking softly.
"Ah—abuse—I'm on a hunger strike—" Xi Changlin wailed miserably, and buried his face in the salted fish pillow.
He Chi snorted and said, "Roll over, show your belly, let me scratch it, and I will agree with you."
"Impossible." Xi Changlin knocked He Chi's outstretched hand away with a salted fish leg. After a few seconds, he belatedly remembered that he had hands, feet and money. Why did he have to ask He Chi to agree to eat anything? OK?
The young man looked out the window and fell into deep thought. He Chi didn't know what he was thinking, so he began to coax him to eat Cantonese food.
"Can morning tea that can be eaten all day long be called morning tea?"
"You really think something bland would suit me?"
"Baizhuo, Baizhuo, Baizhuo, I will kill you when I go back!"
"..."
Xi Changlin sat up straight with a straight face, glaring at He Chi while picking at him.
"It's precisely because Cantonese cuisine is delicious and not greasy, so you can eat it for a long time." He Chi raised his hand to Xi Changlin Shunmao, "You can sit at the table and eat all afternoon and talk about what you want, right?"
"Can't coffee shops do this kind of thing?" Xi Changlin said.
He Chi replied seriously: "But there are usually only desserts and biscuits in coffee shops."
Xi Changlin: "Why don't you just refuse to try the delicious, spicy and delicious crayfish?"
"Because eating too much is bad for your stomach." He Chi said helplessly.
Xi Changlin let out a long sigh, took out his phone, opened the takeaway app, and ordered a large serving of spicy crayfish.
"Ding-dong-"
The payment is successful and the merchant has accepted the order.
He Chi glanced down, took out his mobile phone, and gritted his teeth and asked, "Where did you fill in the address?"
"Guess." Xi Changlin laughed.
The man on the opposite side took Xi Changlin's cell phone away with a feint, and put it back in his hand after scanning the address with his head down.
"Then I'll order Cantonese food. You, a one-kilogram Ma Xiao with shells, and I, a big table of Cantonese food, you are not allowed to eat mine after you finish eating." He Chi patted Xi Changlin's cheek and snorted coldly.
Xi Changlin: "..." Childish or not?
He didn't talk to He Chi any more along the way.
In the middle of the car, the phone rang twice, which were two people's takeaways, and both of them asked the delivery man to put the things at the front desk of the hotel.
When the car arrived at the underground garage of the hotel, Xi Changlin pushed the car door, stepped on the ground with a sneer, and walked very fast.
Emi's parking location was chosen very well, just opposite the elevator, and the elevator happened to stop at the negative floor at this time.
He Chi walked around from the other side of the Rolls-Royce, only had time to say "Hey", and saw Xi Changlin standing inside the elevator, and the two metal doors slowly closed.
"Is he really angry?" He Chi asked Emi.
"If you are asking about Mr. Xi's system, he will be able to give a definite answer." Emi replied sternly.
Xi Changlin returned to the penthouse suite nearly half a minute later than He. When the latter opened the door, the smell of spicy crayfish filled the living room, and the lunch box occupied the entire table, leaving no room for Cantonese cuisine.
"Xi Miao, even if you are angry, you don't have to do that, right?" He Chi stood at the door, put the lunch box on the cabinet in the entrance, and said softly.
"I'm not angry." Xi Changlin said casually, with a light voice, without raising his head, and concentrated on peeling the lobster shells, "It's just that there is really no room for you, but isn't there a table in the restaurant? Go there by yourself."
He Chi stared at Xi Changlin for a moment with downcast eyes, put on his slippers, picked up the two boxes of dishes and walked to the restaurant, laying out the dishes one by one. During this time, Xi Changlin peeled three lobsters and dipped the lobster meat into the bottom of the plate. Eat the soup.
He took out a bowl of soup, added another bowl of rice, then walked up to Xi Changlin, and began to transfer the lunch box containing crayfish.
"What are you doing!" Xi Changlin raised his eyelids and stared at He Chi expressionlessly.
"Come over for dinner." He Chi stacked several lunch boxes together, held them up with one hand, then bent slightly, and pulled Xi Changlin up.
The latter reluctantly walked behind He Chi, kicking his shoes, and was pushed into a chair by his shoulders. Then the plastic sleeves on his hands were taken off, his paws were wiped dry, and stuffed into a spoon.
The five-finger Maotao Chicken Soup was fragrant and delicious. Xi Changlin took a sip, his expression not tense, and finally burst out laughing.
"Don't be angry anymore?" He Chi sat across from him, grabbed the plastic gloves and put them on, skillfully separated the crayfish shell from the meat, and put the meat into a clean porcelain plate.
"I'm really not angry." Xi Changlin said.
Two catties of crayfish are eaten by one person and peeled by one person, and they will soon bottom out, leaving only some side dishes soaked in the soup.He Chi threw away the lunch box, took off his gloves and said, "I installed surveillance cameras in the old house of the Guan family."
Xi Changlin bent his eyes: "What a coincidence, I put it next to Guan Zhi."
He Chi: "Then you should know that most of the afternoon has passed. Although the two brothers of the Guan family stayed together, they did nothing else. And the housekeeper is doing his best to organize his servants to clean the old house."
"Well, I'm afraid I'll put in a wiretapping device or a pinhole camera." Xi Changlin shrugged indifferently, "But who would have thought that I have a cheat, and they couldn't find it after all the digging."
"I also asked Emi to scan the entire Guan family's old house, how about you?"
"Everyone in my family completed this task on their own initiative without giving instructions."
He Chi smiled and opened the light curtain, using props to share: "Okay, now let's check the answer and find fault?"
