After living with a straight man, I became a menswear boss

In the dark night, in the deep forest, there is an unidentified object shining with silver light in the dense vegetation.

Yu You swallowed hard, feeling his legs were a little weak: "Brother Shi Jin, we must have encountered a will-o'-the-wisp, right?"

Shi Jin stared at that place with frowned eyebrows, Yu You stepped forward with a suppressed exclamation, and reached out to pick up the thing that was shining with silver.

It's strange to say that the light that was shining just now disappeared when I put it in my hand.

Yu You let out a "Hey" and stepped forward: "What is this?"

When laying in the palm of his hand was a button-like thing, made of silver, square in shape, with rounded edges, dense patterns carved on it, and two small circular holes in the middle.

The more Yu You looked at it, the more he felt that this thing looked like a button: "Why does this thing look like a button?"

"It's indeed a button." Shi Jin folded his palms together: "It's on the clothes worn by the people in the village."

He had seen it on Ah Qiu's clothes last night, but it was just a quick glance, and he didn't have a deep impression.

"Buttons." Yu You lost interest in an instant: "It might be that the people in the village dropped it when they walked up the path, it's boring."

"But how did it shine just now?"

Shi Jin put the button in his pocket, and said concisely: "Silver products reflect moonlight at a certain angle."

Yu You understood, so he became even less interested. He scratched his head and continued to walk forward: "Then let's go further."

He was full of anticipation, thinking that there might be some shocking secrets waiting for them to discover at the end of the path, but the fact is——the path has come to an end.

To be precise, the path is closed.

In fact, they found that in the middle of the road, as they walked deeper and deeper, the plants on both sides of the path grew denser and denser. Originally, there was a half-person-wide road at the entrance, and it was only one-person-wide in the middle. I have to walk along the plants, and now, the road is too small to go any further.

In fact, it’s not impossible to walk, as long as you push away the vegetation, you can still walk. It’s just that the mountains are cluttered with grass, and the light at night is poor. Except for Yu You who prepared some lighters, hemp rope flashlights and the like for the expedition, they just walked. I didn't bring anything else.

If you lose your way in this mountain, the loss outweighs the gain.

After comprehensive consideration, Yu You gritted his teeth: "Brother Shijin, let's turn around and see if there is another way to go up the mountain tomorrow during the day."

It’s really not possible to go up the mountain directly from the scenic spot tomorrow, but you may have to go around a few times to find the way.

Shi Shu lowered his eyelids and did not move.

Yu You reminded him in a low voice: "Brother Shijin?"

Shi Jin suppressed the expression on her face and said lightly: "Let's go."

It was already four o'clock in the morning when we got back to the inn.

Yu You was in high spirits before going out, but when he came back, he was only yawning.

He rubbed his eyes, yawned, said goodnight to Shi Jin, and then went upstairs.

Perhaps it was because she slept too much during the day, Shi Jin didn't feel sleepy.

He simply walked to the small porch next to the living room, looking at the night outside the porch calmly.

In the ignorant contemplation, a bright color appeared in the distant sky.

The daytime in the mountains comes earlier than in the city. At [-]:[-] in the morning, orange veils of light begin to rise from the mountains in the distance, like a deep black curtain that splits a pocket, revealing the warmth inside. Yellow halo.

Shi Jin stood on the verandah, watching the halo rising, dyeing the sky in rose red and bright yellow colors.

Wearing a small warm-colored hat, the sun shyly poked out half of his head from the top of the mountain, and slowly, stepped on the light from the sky to stick out his whole body.

The sun is born, and all things wake up.

Ah Qiu got up early as usual, and the temperature in the morning was a bit chilly. As soon as she put on her coat, she saw someone standing on the veranda.

Aqiu was startled at first, and then realized: "Brother Shijin, you got up so early?"

When Shi Jin came back to his senses, he pursed his lips and walked into the living room: "Morning."

"Morning." Ah Qiu smiled, and went into the kitchen again: "How about polenta and pancakes for breakfast?"

"it is good."

When Aqiu was busy in the kitchen, Shi Jin was helping her peel corn, but before peeling a few, Aqiu pushed her out of the kitchen: "Oh, you go and sit, I will do it by myself, you are a patient and need to rest .”

Shi Jin was pressed on the chair by her, feeling a little helpless: "I'm already healed."

"A cold doesn't get better so quickly." Aqiu added flour into the basin neatly: "You sit down properly, otherwise Brother Yu Ci will come down later and see me ordering you around, and he will definitely be in a hurry with me."

Shi Jin pursed her lips: "No."

"Definitely!" Ah Qiu tested the thickness of the dough, and added some water to it: "I have never seen Brother Yu Ci care so much about a person, and I was afraid that the cushions in your room were not thick enough, so you came to me specifically I brought you the quilt."

Speaking of this, Shi Jin thought of the bed that had been made in her room.

He said, "Thank you for making the bed for me."

"Make the bed?" Ah Qiu turned around in surprise: "What make the bed?"

"It's the bed made in my room, with two quilts and mattresses added..."

Ah Qiu blinked, with a mocking smile in his eyes: "That's not me, I didn't enter your room."

There was a slight pause.

So...was Yu Ci helping him make the shop?

This time the dough is suitable, Ah Qiu put the lid on it with satisfaction, took the corn and sat in front of Shi Jin, peeling and chatting: "I never thought Brother Yu Ci would be so careful one day, and would take the initiative to help people make beds. "

"I heard from my grandma that Brother Yu Ci has been rough and careless since he was a child, and he also wears clothes. He doesn't want to look good, just wear what he likes."

Shi Jin thought of Yu Ci's all kinds of gaudy beach pants and the old man's vest, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "Indeed."

"So." Ah Qiu looked at Shi Jin with a smile: "He is such a thick-skinned person, but he can think of whether the bed you sleep in is comfortable or not. Why do you think that is?"

"Ahh-"

A sudden yawn interrupted their conversation.

Yu You yawned and went downstairs: "Good morning."

Aqiu turned her head and responded to him with a smile: "Good morning."

Yu You sat opposite Shi Jin in a sleepy state, with a look of unmotivated expression: "What's for breakfast?"

"Potato porridge and pancakes." After Ah Qiu answered, he looked at Yu You curiously: "You are still sleepy, why don't you continue to sleep?"

"Don't mention it." Yu You hammered his sore shoulder: "Sister Aqiu, your bed is too hard, and my back hurts when I sleep on it."

As he said that, he looked at Shijin again, a little puzzled: "Brother Shijin, you must be weaker than me when I think about it, why don't you react at all when you look at it, doesn't your waist hurt?"

Ah Qiu snickered.

Two quilts plus a mattress, it's no wonder it hurts.

Sure enough, Shi Jin only paused for two seconds, then shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."

Yu You lost his whole body: "Sister Aqiu, why don't you prepare thicker mattresses."

Aqiu explained seriously: "There is a lot of rain in the mountains, and a mattress that is too thick is not easy to dry and absorbs moisture easily, so I can only use a thin mattress, so that it can be dried in the sun when there is sunshine, and will not get moldy."

Shi Jin's eyelashes drooped slightly, thoughtfully.

Can only use thin mattresses?

Aqiu saw his expression: "Your one is brother Yu Ci's mattress, he would buy a mattress and send it over every year before he comes here."

Yu You glanced left and right: "What mattress, I want to hear it too!"

Shi Jin pursed her lips and poured him a glass of water: "Drink water."

Yu You was indeed thirsty too. He took the cup and thanked him cheerfully: "Thank you."

The polenta was ready and the pancake dough was ready.

Ah Qiu washed his hands and sat down at the table, planning to bake the cakes when the polenta was almost done.

After working for a while, she sweated a little. She took off her coat, revealing the clothes she was wearing underneath.

Shi Jin's eyes fell on Ah Qiu's body, and he suddenly remembered the button in his pocket.

He took out the button: "Aqiu, can I trouble you to look at this button for me?"

"Huh?" Aqiu's eyes were a little surprised, she picked up the button, and looked at Shijin with some surprise: "Where did you find this button?"

Shi Jin pursed her lips and lied: "I picked it up on the road yesterday morning."

After a pause, he asked again, "Is there anything wrong with this button?"

Yu You held a cup and watched from the sidelines.

His gut told him he should keep silent now.

"That's not true." Aqiu shook his head: "These buttons are unique decorations on our national clothes. You see, they are the ones on me."

As he said that, Aqiu pulled his clothes and stood up: "The row on the chest is called plain buttons. They are usually carved with simple flowers and plants. Each plain button has a different pattern and is used for decoration."

She raised her hand and showed Shi Jin the position of the cuffs: "The cuffs here are called fan buttons, which are used to identify clothes. There are not many people in our village, and the clothes are all made by ourselves. Everyone has a representative pattern." .”

"Sometimes when the weather is fine, everyone will dry their clothes together in the square. In order to facilitate identification of their own clothes, the buttons will be carved with their respective representative patterns, so that they will not take other people's clothes by mistake."

Yu You's eyes lit up instantly: "Then do you know who this button is?"

"I might not know about other tricks, but I do know this one by chance." Ah Qiu frowned, with some doubts in his eyes: "I just think it's a little strange."

Aqiu said and glanced at the button again: "It's carved with an egg, only kid Anuo in the village uses this pattern."

"Egg?" Yu You poked his head to look at the pattern on the button, and indeed saw an oval: "Is there anything strange about this?"

"A Nuo's personality is very calm. I would understand if other children lost the fan button, but A Nuo's words are a bit strange."

Shi Jin's eyes moved slightly: "Maybe the fan button just happened to be loose, and it fell off without noticing."

Ah Qiu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally closed his mouth again: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, I will send this fan button back to A Nuo later."

"I'll give it to you." Shi Jin said, "I just want to go for a walk in the village."

Ah Qiu thought for a while, then nodded: "Alright, then you can talk to brother Yu Ci later and ask him to take you there."

"What are you talking about?"

The three people at the table followed the sound.

Yu Ci was walking down the stairs, seeing his eyes falling on him, he hooked his lips: "What are you looking at?"

Ah Qiu was the first to smile, "I'm looking at the handsome guy."

Not to be outdone, Yu You said, "I'm looking at the macho."

Yu Ci raised his eyebrows, he tilted his head, his smiling eyes met Shi Jin's: "Brother Shi, what about you?"

Shi Jin was silent.

After a while, he pursed his lips: "I'm looking at ginger soup."

Thanks to the weird dream yesterday, when he saw Yu Ci, he remembered the "Ginger Hot Spring" that soaked him last night.

Yu Ci raised his eyebrows: "Ginger soup?"

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the smile in his eyes gradually deepened: "It seems that Brother Shi is very satisfied with my ginger soup."

Shi Jin paused, then changed the subject: "Is the porridge ready?"

Ah Qiu got up: "I'll go and have a look."

Yu Ci sat beside Shi Jin, his eyes paused slightly on his cold white side face, and then moved away quickly: "What were you talking about just now?"

Yu You didn't seem to intend to speak when he saw it, so he said, "Sister Aqiu just said that we should find you, and you should take us to A Nuo."

"Arnuo?" Yu Ci's fingertips tapped on the table slightly stopped: "Do you have something to do with him?"

"We found his button." It was Shi Jin who spoke this time, and he lowered his eyelids, and put the delicate button on the table: "We also took a stroll in the stockade by the way."

Yu Ci raised his eyebrows: "OK."
