I rely on emoticons to lower my intelligence

Pei Chengping was washing his hands. He carefully washed every part of his hands very clean.

The sound of running water made Gu Shanhai suddenly realize that he was patronizing the cat.

He quickly "left out" the big orange cat on the sofa, and walked quickly into the kitchen.

The ingredients in the shopping bag have been sorted out by Pei Chengping.The other party stood by the pool, and the clear water splashed on his slender and powerful hands. The water flowed over the honey-colored skin, making the hands smoother and clearer.

Gu Shanhai saw this scene.

Gudu, he swallowed.

"Hungry?" Pei Chengping turned his head to look at Gu Shanhai. This angle made the young man's face look heroic in the sunlight.

Gu Shanhai covered his stomach and nodded.

His appetite was not because of those ingredients, but because of the vigor and vitality exuding from Pei Chengping's body.

He was so hungry that he wanted to bite his finger, but felt indecent, so he held back in front of the other party.

This is not real hunger, but the breath emanating from the other party, which is attractive to him.

But Pei Chengping thought he was really hungry, so he took out a lollipop and handed it to Gu Shanhai.

"Take it first, the sugar will make you less hungry, and the dishes will be ready soon."

They didn't buy candy in the supermarket just now.Why is there a lollipop on Pei Chengping?This made Gu Shanhai feel strange.Candy doesn't go well with the opponent's fierce and assertive appearance.

Gu Shanhai peeled off the icing, and it smelled like oranges.The entrance has a strong orange aroma, with a little sourness and more sweetness.

The sugar melted in the mouth and was quickly absorbed, Gu Shanhai was no longer hungry.

He hadn't eaten this kind of candy for children for many years.He didn't eat it himself, and no one gave it to him.

Gu Shanhai tasted the lollipop and asked curiously, "Why do you carry candy with you? Do you eat it with your mouth when you're hungry?"

With his back turned to him, Pei Chengping calmly replied: "Sugar can make people happy, so forget about sadness for a while."

Gu Shanhai nodded thoughtfully.The sad thing refers to the other party's former adoptive father, right?No matter how many roles have been changed, people's feelings are not counted by statistics, so is the other party still grieving over the death of the adoptive father?

Although he has not yet become Pei Chengping's new adoptive father, Gu Shanhai feels a little bit jealous.

Forget about him, I support you!

Gu Shanhai wanted to go up and hug Pei Chengping's head, and comfort him by pressing him on his shoulder.But now Pei Chengping was holding a kitchen knife in his hand.As soon as he saw the sharp edge of the knife and thought of the other party's bad temper, Gu Shanhai didn't dare to step forward and challenge the other party's tolerance.

He crushed the orange-flavored lollipop in his mouth, making a crunchy sound, chewed a few bites and swallowed it.

The sour taste of oranges, which he could hardly taste, made him slightly frown.

After eating everything, Gu Shanhai said: "I heard people say that eating too much sugar will make you stupid. Learning and memory will both decline."

Pei Chengping put down the knife and looked back at him.

"Don't worry, it won't affect you."

"???" Gu Shanhai heard a hint of a smile from the other party's tone.However, from Pei Chengping's expressionless face, it was not obvious that he was smiling at all.And this kind of smile doesn't seem to be full of kindness.

"You mean I'm not smart?" Gu Shanhai figured out what the other party meant.

Pei Chengping didn't answer.He picked up the knife, stood in front of the chopping board, and was planning to process the ingredients, thinking about what to make them into.

"Gu Shanhai, what are your taboos? Can you eat spicy food? Do you like sweet food? For example, sweet and sour pork ribs."

"I can do sweet and sour pork ribs!" Gu Shanhai completely ignored the sugar content at this time, "I have no taboos, I can eat both sweet and spicy."

"Then sweet and sour pork ribs, spicy chicken, minced pepper fish...then have a milky corn braised." Pei Chengping looked at the ingredients at hand, quickly drew up a recipe, and reported a series of dish names, with meat and vegetable combinations.Now it can really fill a table.

Gu Shanhai's mouth is watering, he is really hungry this time, and it's time for dinner.

He squeezed his hands in embarrassment, and stood humbly at the door of the kitchen, "I wanted to cook for you." It turned out that the other party was cooking.

Pei Chengping glanced back at him, Gu Shanhai's cuffs were still stained with cat fur.A pair of white and slender hands did not look like they could work in the kitchen.

He picked up the kitchen knife, chopped open the ribs with a bang, and handled the ingredients skillfully.

"Go and play with the system, aren't you hungry? Waiting for dinner."

Gu Shanhai grudgingly hummed, he originally wanted to show off his skills to impress the other party.Pei Chengping has only eaten dishes from this world, but he has eaten ingredients from many worlds, many of which he has never seen before.

While chopping vegetables, Pei Chengping said, "Let me cook this meal, and you will perform well in the future. There are many opportunities!"

"That's right, it will be a long time in the future." Gu Shanhai smiled happily because of the last sentence of the other party. He has already started to look forward to the future of the two of them.That must have been a scene of fatherly kindness and son filial piety, happy and happy.

With him around, he will definitely make Pei Chengping feel his father's love like a mountain.

Gu Shanhai went back to the sofa, sat down next to the big orange cat, lifted the other's chubby body onto his lap, and stroked the cat happily.

He is happy, but the little cat is vengeful.Disgusted with his fat paws, he pushed away Gu Shanhai's hand on it, sat on the sofa, half a meter away from him, and turned his back to Gu Shanhai.In the eyes of the other party, there is a tall figure like a hill.

"System, have you finished your dried fish?" Gu Shanhai took out a new pack, unpacked it and took out one.

After searching, the small dried fish in his hand was gone.

The big orange cat snatched the dried fish with lightning speed.He chewed fiercely in his mouth in retaliation.

meow ow -

Really fragrant!

When Pei Chengping came out with the first dish, he saw a person and a cat having fun on the sofa.

The scent overflowed, Gu Shanhai immediately left the cat behind, stood in front of the dining table, and took a deep breath.

Ding dong!Just then the doorbell rang.

Gu Shanhai looked at it with reluctance. The first dish his future adopted son cooked for him smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes, and he was about to open the door.

"Be careful!" Pei Chengping told him, "See who opens the door after seeing clearly."

Gu Shanhai was not nervous at first, but when Pei Chengping reminded him, he realized that they could live together because Pei Chengping wanted to protect him.Thanks to the brothers of the Li family for putting him in danger.

He stuck it to the peephole of the anti-theft door and looked out, and found that it was someone he knew from memory, and immediately opened the door "with a sigh of relief".

"Sister Meng, what's the matter?" Gu Shanhai smiled.

It was a woman in her 40s with a good temperament who rang the doorbell.Her hair was neatly tied back, and she wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.Very intellectual and neat dress.However, the eyes under this pair of glasses are bloodshot, and the dark circles under the eyes are also heavy. It is hard to hide the fatigue. It seems that he has worked overtime for many days and has not had a good rest.

"Mr. Gu, this is the rent for this month." She handed an envelope containing money to Gu Shanhai and said hoarsely.The tone is very slow, and every word is pronounced clearly, which makes people hear clearly and comfortably.It has something to do with her profession.It is said that Sister Meng used to be a teacher, but she seemed to have trouble with the school because of something. After resigning, she worked as a teacher in a training institution. It was harder than before, but her income was much more.

She rents an apartment in the same unit as Gu Shanhai alone, which is at the end of the corridor because it is close to her work place.

Gu Shanhai took the envelope and counted the amount of money in front of the other party.After confirming that it was correct, he nodded towards the other party.

"The rent has been received, Sister Meng, I have opened online banking, and I sent a group message before. From now on, the rent will be charged directly to the card, so there is no need to make a special trip."

"...that text message was originally sent by Mr. Gu!" Sister Meng said embarrassedly, "What is Mr. Gu's mobile phone number? I will save it now. Could Mr. Gu send me the card number again?" ? I can’t find the last one.”

Gu Shanhai understood that the other party must have taken it as a scam text message and deleted it directly.

Among his tenants, Xiao Sheng was the only one who was foolish enough to beat the money, and he even paid half a year's rent for a dozen.The other tenants are on high alert.This made Gu Shanhai feel very relieved, at least they would not be easily fooled by other scammers, causing heavy losses in money.

In front of Sister Meng, Gu Shanhai called the other party's number once, and hung up before answering when he heard the ringing, so that the other party could save it in the phone.

After saving the number, Sister Meng said slowly: "Mr. Gu, I will transfer the rent to your card on time in the middle of each month, please rest assured."

Gu Shanhai looked at the other party's exhausted look, and said with concern: "It doesn't matter if you pay the rent a few days earlier or later. Sister Meng, you don't look very well, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Sister Meng's complexion changed, she shook her head slightly, and said in a disguised way: "I haven't been sleeping well recently, and I'm a little insomnia. It's okay."

Gu Shanhai said solemnly: "Sister Meng should pay more attention to rest. You live alone, if there is any inconvenience and you need help, just ask me. I am your landlord and neighbor, and I should take care of each other."

"Thank you, Mr. Gu." Her eyes fell on the artist's badge worn on Gu Shanhai's chest. "—Congratulations to Mr. Gu for becoming a Dou Tushi. Mr. Gu is such a kind person, if there is anything in the future, I will speak up. Don't bother Mr. Gu for dinner, see you later." She smelled the aroma of food.

"See you later." Gu Shanhai said.

He watched the back of the other party leaving, thoughtful.Sister Meng's information shows that her occupation is very ordinary.When we met today, he only sensed from the other party that the other party is also a fighting figure master, and at least a second-grade painter, whose realm is higher than his current level, so he can't perceive the specific strength.

He had never seen the other party wearing a painter's badge.What is there to hide about this identity?

Gu Shanhai closed the door, but it was not closed tightly, leaving a crack.Putting his face close to the gap, he watched until Sister Meng returned to the end of the corridor and opened the door of the apartment.

A slender hand stretched out from the door and took Sister Meng's arm.It was the Mo girl that Gu Shanhai had seen before—the little girl with double ponytails and wearing a red dress.

She stuck close to Sister Meng and entered the door with her.It wasn't until Sister Meng's door closed that Gu Shanhai straightened up.

But when he raised his head halfway, Pei Chengping held him down.The other party didn't know when, standing beside him, also looked out through the gap for an unknown how long.Only then did they resume their standing posture together with him.

"Scare me, why are you silent!" Gu Shanhai patted his chest.

"What's the one in the red dress?" Pei Chengping asked.From the angle of the crack of the door, only the two ponytails of the little girl can be seen, but her feet are not touching the ground, so she is obviously not human.

"It's Mo girl." Gu Shanhai explained.

"What does Miss Mo look like?" This is the first time Pei Chengping has seen a girl like Mo.

"It's a special form of Mo girl, and it takes a lot of cultivation." Gu Shanhai has experience with this kind, and many traditional crafts have been lost in modern society.

Now he understood why Sister Meng was exhausted, and Mo Nu had drained her cultivation base.If Mo Nu is not taken back into the painting, the other party will overdraw her life sooner or later, and the oil will run out.

He didn't know what Sister Meng was insisting on, even if Mo Nu maintained this form, it had special meaning to the other party.There's no need to make fun of your own life, right?

does it worth?

Human emotions are too complicated.
