sunk in yesterday

Seeing people suspicious of life after coming out, Guan Yuzhou thought something happened, and couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong?"

Xia Zhuo shook his head, hesitant to speak.

After getting this reaction, Guan Yuzhou still did not loosen his eyebrows, and asked him again: "Are you all right?"

Xia Zhuo had just seen that there were indeed three moles on his legs, and he rubbed them with his hands, but he couldn't control the force well, and he looked like a delicate skin and tender flesh, and now the rough material of the jeans on the heel of his legs is just right. Burning pain.He scolded the poor quality of the pants in his heart, but on the surface he bared his teeth and gave Guan Yuzhou a look: "No, why don't you ask Mrs. Bai to go down together? I'm so hungry."

While he was dazed in the toilet, the two girls on the same floor had already gone downstairs.

Hearing the knock on the door, Mrs. Bai opened the lock from the inside, her hair was still a little damp, as if she had just taken a shower.

In the faint sweet scent, she casually put the towel on the sink: "When the bell rang, there was an extra vase in the bathroom." She brushed her half-dry hair carelessly, and turned her head to look at it. Guan Yuzhou took a look: "Do you have any over there?"

Guan Yuzhou didn't answer, after all, he had been staying in Xia Zhuo's room just now.

After hearing this sentence, he strayed into the bathroom full of water, looked down at the thing on the floor that was the same color as the wall tiles, and after a few seconds reached out and tapped on the porcelain body.The crisp sound echoed in the small space, which undoubtedly indicated that it was empty.

"It's so strange..." Xia Zhuo looked at the vase that looked like the one in his room, smacked his lips and said, "If the owner really wants to draw attention to his collection of vases, he can put them in a more prominent position, such as On the armrest, on the bedside table, or by the door of the corridor, and then ask the servants to put some beautiful flowers in it, so that people who pass by will notice the vase... But he doesn't have one, and he doesn't even hesitate to hide it in such a corner , as if the purpose is not to show off your collection."

"Well, so there is something wrong with the vase." Guan Yuzhou withdrew his hand, walked to the sink and flushed the water casually: "Let's go, go downstairs to eat, it will be very conspicuous if you go late."

That's what I said, but the three of them were undoubtedly the last ones to go downstairs.

The deacon seemed to be afraid that they would lose their way, so he stood beside the spiral staircase on the first floor.

With a basket on his left wrist, and a pair of silver tweezers less than half a meter in his right hand, he smiled at the people who came from top to bottom, and then picked up a sterilized towel and cleaned them up before meals. .

Holding a wet towel that is much hotter than the skin, the scalding warmth travels along the blood vessels to the whole body.Madam Bai held the soft fabric and smiled: "Sorry, I'm late."

The deacon bowed: "It is also my duty to wait for the guests."

The dining room and kitchen are on the same side, but not connected.From the entrance to the present, the participants only saw the porcelain figures at the door and the deacon who accompanied them from the beginning, and did not see the rest of the servants, gardeners, or the family head and future mother in this population.

The dining table was very long, and the owner's seat was indeed vacant.The three of Guan Yuzhou took their seats late, but the rest of the people didn't pay much attention to them. They only asked the deacon who followed him: "Why didn't you see you, your master?"

The person who asked the question seemed to be unable to remember the name of the family, and his confidence was a little lacking, full of trepidation.

There is a head dish on the trolley, which is a salad made of tuna as the main ingredient.

The deacon put nine plates of salads on the empty table in front of the participants one by one, and answered with a smile after finishing the work: "Recently, some problems have occurred in the factories on the north side, which has caused serious air pollution in the town. I'm sick. As the head of the Boyer family, the master naturally has to go to express condolences in person. And because of a happy event in the family, the family that has been friendly with Boyer takes turns to be the host, and the master will only return at night."

"Oh~" Taohuayan forked a small piece of fish and put it in his mouth, apparently satisfied with the taste.He swallowed it with a sip of juice, and before wiping his mouth, he asked, "What about your Miss Shelley? Did you go with her?"

The deacon finished placing the first dishes one by one, held the handle of the cart with both hands again, and was about to go to the kitchen to pick up another dish.After hearing this question, he turned around politely, stared into the questioner's eyes and replied with a smile: "Miss Shelley did not go with her."

They didn't go together... That means that the person on the fourth floor might indeed be Miss Shelley who never showed up.

Hearing the sound of the cart wheels going away, the dining table fell silent again.

Xia Zhuo sneaked a glance at the casual clothes. The man's face was pale, and there was an obvious slap mark on his face. Even the thread on the shoulder clothes was torn off. I don't know how many women were caught on the second floor just now. How does gang fight feel like.

"That..." The long-lost stiff atmosphere was broken, and finally the restaurant was no longer only the sound of knives and forks clinking against plates.The voice was not far away. Xia Zhuo looked over and found that it was the female student who had exchanged business with Mrs. Bai.She had a tangled front, her eyes were slightly dodgy and she lowered her head, she quickly raised her face to look at the beauty sitting beside her, and then she looked back with some inferiority complex: "Sister, I..."

"Just call me Madam." Madam Bai didn't stop eating because of her, "What's wrong?"

"Ma'am, my name is...well, you can just call me Xiaoqi." The female student blushed again: "I just want... can I live with you at night? I actually came in alone. , I'm a little scared... I think you are very kind, it doesn't matter if you mind, I—"

Mrs. Bai smiled, compared to the other party's long-winded words, she agreed without much hesitation: "Yes."

Xia Zhuo thought she would refuse, after all, his mind was full of the mother-level instructions of "don't talk to strangers", so he looked at Guan Yuzhou on the right with a little surprise.The person he was looking at remained calm, as if he hadn't heard the conversation between the two at all, and wiped the corners of his mouth with a wet towel as if it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that this person didn't care, Xia Zhuo didn't worry about it, and continued to eat his vegetable leaves.

The deacon once again pushed the full cart into the restaurant. Although he was old, his pace was not slow, and the tuxedo behind him raised his foot to draw an arc.

Looking at the whole audience, only Xia Zhuo and Taohuayan were more lively.After the main course was served, he stood aside and waited. There was an aborigine present. Even if the participants wanted to take the opportunity to discuss the extra things in the room, they just endured until after the meal.

Seeing the deacon clearing the dining table by himself, Tao Huayan turned his legs and asked: "Hey, your house is so big, why don't you ask a servant to clean it? Are you not tired after busying yourself?"

The deacon smiled, as if he didn't realize it at all, and his movements were still slow: "There were originally, but they were clumsy and dropped the master's collection, so they were fined and never allowed to enter the house. Later, the master didn't invite anyone again. Leave it to me to take care of it alone."

Peach Blossom Eyes let out a long moan.

The deacon leaned forward and prepared to leave: "Let me clean up here. You can go back to your room to rest, or there are workshops on both floors. If you can't sleep, you can go in to pass the time."

A group of people looked at each other in blank dismay, and some people left first, looking like they were going back to their own room and didn't intend to get involved in other things.Guan Yuzhou thought about it, and asked him before leaving: "Is everything in the handicraft room safe to touch?"

The deacon replied: "The second and third floors are reserved for the guests who come to the house. The master loves vases like life. If you are in the mood to burn them and give them to the master, it is too late for the master to be happy. You can use them at any time-but the master I don't like people hanging around his collection after lights out, because someone smashed the master's collection at that time, which made the master very unhappy."

Guan Yuzhou had the bottom line in his heart, and called Xia Zhuo back to the third floor.Xiao Qi left the restaurant one step ahead of them, holding the bath towel in her room in her arms at this time, looking at Mrs. Bai who was following behind with flushed cheeks.

"lady!"

That pair of bright eyes made Xia Zhuo think of a small pet dog for no reason, and when he saw a human he liked, he wagged his tail and wobbled towards him.Mrs. Bai smiled at her gracefully, then opened the door to let people in, and glanced back at Guan Yuzhou.

Guan Yuzhou also glanced back, watching the door being closed with a click, as if there was some deep meaning in it.

Xia Zhuo felt that there must be something tricky in it, but he was not stupid enough to stand at the door of the room and ask.He put his hand into his trouser pocket and touched it, then took it out quickly, imitating the little girl's appearance and looking like Guan Yuzhou: "Can I sleep in your room too?"

The last time they spent the night together in the same room was really harsh. Now that everyone has their own room, he naturally has no reason to hold back.Before Guan Yuzhou could say his refusal, he had already brought out his good excuse: "Your room is next to the stairs, so I can sleep a little longer tomorrow morning."

Guan Yuzhou followed the words and asked, "Sleep a little longer? How long can you sleep longer?"

Xia Zhuo said seriously: "A few seconds."

Guan Yuzhou took the key to open the door, turned his head to hide his smile: "Well, that was quite a long time."

Xia Zhuo hurried into the room, afraid that Guan Yuzhou would say something like "I don't need to sleep for a few more seconds, then I'll go to sleep in your room", and closed the door, "That girl named Xiao Qi has a problem Is it okay for her to be so close to Mrs. Bai?"

"can not tell?"

Xia Zhuo shook her head honestly: "Except for a little enthusiasm."

"Remember what I said to you when we first met?"

"What? Um...can't trust anyone?"

"To outsiders, there is indeed some enthusiasm, but this kind of enthusiasm can be understood as envy or admiration." Guan Yuzhou adjusted the light in the room to a moderate level, and continued: "You met two people, and A did something that disgusted you , you hate A, and B said that he is on your side, and also suppressed A, and stood up for you, so will you hate B?"

Xia Zhuo sat on the bed, frowned and bit his lips, and then thought about it: "No way, if someone defends me, let alone hate it, they should have a good impression."

"At this time, B told you that he wanted to make friends with you, do you agree?"

"Promise."

Guan Yuzhou looked at him quietly and didn't say anything further.

Xia Zhuo was stunned for a moment, thought about the cause and effect so far, and suddenly opened his mouth: "You mean, that Xiaoqi might have a plan in the first place?"
