Travel through the city of orcs

"Hi, Bonnie, how are you doing recently?" Cheng Chi saw Bonnie walking towards him when he went to the yard to stretch in the morning, he smiled and waved to Bonnie and asked.

"Hi, hello, Mr. Cheng Chi, I'm fine, how about you?" Seeing the bright smile on Cheng Chi's face, Bonnie, who still couldn't get rid of the tension of coming to Pato Town, immediately relaxed, and he Also smiled and waved.

"I'm fine too." Cheng Chi replied as he walked forward and opened the courtyard door to let Bonnie in.

Bonnie handed the small basket in his hand to Cheng Chi, "These are the unique fruits of Violet Town, I'll bring you some to taste, I hope you like it."

"Thank you so much, it looks delicious." Cheng Chi said with a smile looking at the brightly colored fruits in Bonnie's basket.

"Well, it tastes good too," Bonnie scratched the back of his head, "If you like it, I'll bring you some next time."

The two exchanged pleasantries all the way into the room, and Cheng Chi asked Bonnie to sit down on the chair. He went to the kitchen and took out the packaged candies, and put them in front of Bonnie, "The last time the new flavor of candy was sold was still low." okay?"

Bonnie packed the candy carefully, nodded and said, "Well, everyone likes to eat it very much. You also know that the residents of Violet Town like to eat plants very much. You also specially added some to the candy. Flower juice, there will be a faint floral fragrance in your mouth when you eat it, it feels really wonderful! Everyone says that Mr. Cheng Chi's candy can taste the taste of spring!"

Cheng Chi was very happy to receive such an evaluation of his candy, "As long as everyone likes it, I'm afraid it won't suit everyone's taste."

After hearing this, Bonnie quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, your craftsmanship is very good. It's a pity that the production of candies has decreased due to the reduction of materials in winter."

After all, Bonny was still rushing back to do business, so Bonny got up and left after sitting for a while, and Cheng Chi sent him all the way to the door.

Before leaving, Bonnie remembered something, turned to Cheng Chi and asked, "Some other kinds of vegetables have grown recently, do you want to try it?"

Cheng Chi asked about those vegetables. After Bonnie answered, Cheng Chi picked some. Bonnie nodded to indicate that he had written it down, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Mr. Claude is really caring and considerate to you, almost every other day. You have to go to my place to buy fresh vegetables for you, last time I saw Claude turn into a black panther and run towards Topa Town, he was so handsome..."

"Wait," Cheng Chi heard something wrong with Bonnie's words, "You mean that Claude went to buy fresh vegetables from you on purpose? Isn't he going to bring leather products to Violet Town every other day?"

"Of course not," Bonnie shook his head, "Now that the weather is getting warmer, the females in our town don't particularly need leather products to keep warm, because the demand is not so strong, so it only takes ten days and a half months to make leather products." Just send it to the shops in the market for sale.”

"So..." Cheng Chi nodded slowly, seemingly unintentionally asked, "Every time Claude goes to your place to buy vegetables, doesn't it bother you?"

Bonnie nodded and shook his head with a smile, "The first time it scared my dad enough, but after more times, my dad got used to it..."

That day, Bonnie's father Haoji put the vegetables neatly on the vegetable shelf as usual and then went to open the door of the vegetable shop while yawning, but he only yawned halfway, and he had no time to speak after seeing the person standing at the door He rolled his eyes and fell down.

Bonnie, who was arranging the vegetables in the back, heard the loud noise from the shop in front and hurried over to check, and found that his father was rolling his eyes and fell to the ground, and Claude, who didn't know why he appeared, was standing at the door of the shop twisting his hands. With eyebrows pursed and mouth pursed, he looked down at his fainted father.

When Claude saw Bonnie appear, he asked without any ups and downs, "Your father passed out as soon as he opened the door, is he alright?"

Because he didn't know the intention of Claude who came to his shop early in the morning, Bonnie tremblingly shook his head and said, "No, it's okay, big, I probably didn't have breakfast." While talking, he paid attention to Claude's movements While walking forward, he struggled to drag his father to the recliner to sleep, then turned his head and swallowed dryly and asked, "You, what are you doing here today?"

Claude glanced at Haoji, who was still unconscious, and then at the neatly placed vegetables on the vegetable shelf, which looked tender with dewdrops as if they could squeeze out water, and said, "Please help me pack some Cheng Chi's favorite vegetable."

"Huh?" Bonnie thought he had heard wrong.

"I said, please help me choose some vegetables that Cheng Chi likes to eat." Claude repeated blankly.

"But I just delivered vegetables to Mr. Cheng Chi a few days ago. Why, doesn't he like it?" Bonnie asked subconsciously.

"Vegetables will lose moisture after a long time, and fresh ones are better." Claude glanced at Bonnie who was full of doubts, and coughed lightly with a somewhat unnatural expression, "So can you help me choose some fresh ones that Cheng Chi likes to eat?" vegetables?"

Being swept away by Claude's eyes, Bonnie shivered, nodded quickly and walked forward, "Of course, fresh vegetables are better..." While speaking, Bonnie quickly moved Cheng Chi Some of the favorite vegetables were packed and handed to Claude according to the quantity requested by Claude, "Packed, packed."

Claude took a look at the vegetables that he really didn't think were delicious, nodded and handed the money to Bonnie, leaving a sentence, "Thank you, I'll come back in two days." Then he left Bonnie. Ni's vegetable shop.

Haoji, who woke up slowly, rolled his eyes and passed out after hearing Claude's words.

In the following days, as Claude said, he would always appear at the door of Bonnie's vegetable store every other day or two to become their No.1 customer, silently watching Bonnie pack the vegetables for him and then pay money left.

The first few times Claude came, Bonnie's dad would shiver and hide behind, letting his son deal with this terrified guest.After waiting for more times, the timid Haoji gradually became less afraid. Occasionally, he would stammer and ask Claude some questions. Although Claude had no expression, he would usually answer the questions that Haoji asked.Satisfied, Haoji brags to his friends in his spare time that he has chatted with the most ferocious leopard!

After seeing off Bonnie, Cheng Chi began to be a little absent-minded until Claude brought him his prey in the afternoon.

Cheng Chi leaned against the kitchen door and looked at the broad back of Claude who was handling the prey deftly. He also caught a glimpse of the unfinished vegetables in the basket. A black panther with a strong figure appeared in his mind in the early morning. Running back and forth between Topa Town and Violet Town in the faint mist, suddenly there was a slightly sweet taste in his heart that he couldn't describe.

After Claude finished handling the prey, he turned his head and found that Cheng Chi was leaning against the door out of focus, wondering what he was thinking, with a faint smile on his lips.

Looking at Cheng Chi like that, the corner of Claude's mouth also curled up, "What happy things are you thinking about?"

Cheng Chi, who came back to his senses because of Claude's voice, met Claude's deep eyes, his heart skipped a beat, he lowered his head to stabilize his mind, raised his head again and pointed to the vegetables in the basket with a smile, "Bonnie came here today." Seeing Claude glance in the direction he pointed and then turning his head, but his eyes became more clear, Cheng Chi looked directly at Claude's beautiful dark green eyes, " Thank you."

Looking at Cheng Chi with soft eyes, he walked up to Cheng Chi step by step, then stopped when he was still half a step away, reached out and touched Cheng Chi's soft black hair, "It's good if you can be happy , no need to say thank you."

Seeing Claude approaching him, Cheng Chi's heart beat violently, and even his throat felt a little dry, and when Claude's hand touched his hair, it was obviously light and almost imperceptible. The touch made Cheng Chi feel numb all over, and Cheng Chi turned his head to avoid Claude's eyes.

Claude looked at Cheng Chi's fair neck, which was stained with a faint pink layer, restrained the urge to touch it, and tried his best to speak in a calm tone, "Then I'll go first, Ian is still waiting for me at home .”

"Well," Cheng Chi nodded, turned around and walked towards the living room, "Bonnie brought some fresh fruit when he came today, you can bring some back, the taste is not bad, Ian should like it."

When Claude left, Cheng Chi took a deep breath and sat on the chair, involuntarily put his palms on his heart, recalling his own reaction in the inexplicable atmosphere just now, talking to himself with some annoyance Said, "This performance just now is really embarrassing!" Having said that, the smile on his face couldn't stop.

When the atmosphere between Cheng Chi and Claude became unspeakable, Cheng Chi was taken aback by the arrival of the disheveled Al.

"What's wrong with you? Did you eat something bad?" Cheng Chi asked Al with concern as he pulled Al to the soft chair and sat down.

Al waved his hands sickly, "I don't know, I just have no appetite, don't want to eat, and I can't sleep well at night."

Cheng Chi reached out his hand to test the temperature on Al's forehead, and frowned, "Didn't you go to see Mr. Barry?"

Al shook his head, "I don't want to go to Mr. Barry's place, I don't want to drink the bitter concoction at all."

Cheng Chi shook his head disapprovingly, "It's okay if you don't look at it, you look like you are now, Rupert must be very worried."

Al shrugged, "I don't want to take medicine anyway, do you have anything appetizing here?"

Cheng Chi thought for a while, then nodded, "Well, let me make some fruit tea for you."

"Fruit tea? What is that?" Al asked suspiciously.

"It's tea made with fruit." Cheng Chi walked to the side of the cabinet and took out two jars, each picked some jam and dried fruit into the water cup, poured hot water on it, and carefully Put it in front of Al, "Try it."

Al smelled the fruit tea's slightly sour and fruity scent, and became interested. After stirring it a few times, he took a sip, and then looked at Cheng Chi with bright eyes, "Achi, you really are What a genius, this drink is delicious!"

Cheng Chi couldn't help laughing seeing Al's spirited appearance, "Really?"

"Well," Al nodded vigorously, "sour and sweet, very appetizing, what kind of fruit is this made of? Why don't I seem to have eaten it?"

Cheng Chi replied with a smile, "A few days ago, Bonnie sent some unique fruits in their town. I dried them up when I couldn't eat them, and then tried to make tea. I didn't expect the taste to be quite good," Cheng Chi said. Chi pointed to the cup in Al's hand, "There are also some fruits picked from the dense forest in it. If you mix different fruits, the taste will be different."

Al was fascinated by it, and after taking another sip, he asked a little embarrassedly, "Then, Chi, can you give me some?"

"Of course." Looking at Al who was very happy after getting his answer, Cheng Chi had some new ideas about business in his mind.
