"Dad and Fourteen are both with me. Why do you suddenly want to go out to look for us?"
I asked Luo Yue a little strangely: "Did something happen?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal. Dongzi is back. He looked unhappy. As soon as he came back, he came to find you and was sitting there sulking!" Luo Yue babbled towards the room.
"Why didn't you call me?" I asked Luo Yue as I walked into the house.
"You can't get through on your cell phone! Uncle Xiao didn't take his cell phone with him when he went out," Luo Yue said.
I took out my phone and looked at it. I didn't know when it had run out of battery.
Dongzi sat on the sofa, half-hunched over, with her elbows supporting her knees, her chin supported by the palms of her hands, a cigarette between her right fingers, letting it burn, and her eyes fixed on a certain point on the coffee table.
,.
There was an ashtray on the coffee table in front of him, with a small pile of cigarette butts piled inside.
Dongzi has never smoked. Even though Ruowei smokes, I have never seen Dongzi learn to smoke after Dongzi became friends with her.
His hair was a little messy, his clothes were wrinkled, and a thin layer of smoke hung around him, making him look even more decadent.
"Dongzi, what happened? Why are you like this?" I walked into the living room and called him.
"What's wrong with me?" Dongzi suddenly turned around and yelled at me, her eyes red.
Dad and Luo Yue walked in behind me, and they both looked at Dongzi who suddenly yelled with astonishment on their faces.
I was stunned and looked at him without saying a word. I walked to the sofa opposite him and sat down and looked at him.
Dongzi put the cigarette held between her fingertips into her mouth and took a long puff with a frown.
Clouds of smoke spurted out from his mouth and nose. Dongzi raised his eyes and looked at me. Before I could see his expression clearly, he quickly lowered his head again.
"Hu Ling, I'm sorry, I couldn't control my emotions." Dongzi said in a frustrated voice.
"Dongzi, you didn't smoke before." I shook my head and looked at Dongzi and said.
"Ruowei and I had a fight!" Dongzi frowned again and took a deep puff of smoke: "She went to Kyoto with a friend of hers."
"Didn't you say you wanted to go to Kyoto with Ruowei? Why did you quarrel again?" I asked.
"That friend of hers..."
Dongzi hesitated, raised his eyes to look at me again, and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to be with that friend of hers!"
I looked at Dongzi and discovered that there was a red crack at the corner of his mouth, which was also a little red and swollen.
"What happened to the corner of your mouth? Did you get into a fight?" I looked at Dongzi and asked.
"I'm fine!" Dongzi raised his hand and touched the corner of his mouth, "I met a thief on the road and I had a fight with him."
How could a thief be so powerful and Dongzi, a martial arts champion, have his mouth broken?
It's obviously a lie.
Just as I was about to speak, Dongzi stood up and said, "Hu Ling, I haven't slept well for two days, so I'm going to sleep first!"
"Wait a minute, I have something to give you." I said to Dongzi.
Dongzi looked at me with some doubts.
I turned to look at Luo Yue and asked, "Luo Yue, where is the piece of jade I asked you to help change the water?"
"It's on top of that cabinet. I'll get it to you!" Luo Yue said, walking to the chest of drawers and picking up a crystal soup bowl placed on top.
There was a bowl of clear water in the bowl, and at the bottom of the bowl was a piece of glass jadeite with a few strands of ice-green floating in it.
The jade body is transparent, and the lucky beast carved on the jade plate is lifelike.
There is a light red filament wrapped around Piyan's mouth, which is very conspicuous, but it also shows that this jade medal is of great value.
"I have completely purified the resentment and evil spirit in this jade tablet. Although it has also lost its aura, the texture and appearance of the jade are excellent, and there are no cracks due to the loss of aura. Although it can no longer be recognized
The Lord protects the Lord, but it is still very good to collect or give away.”
I stretched out my hand to fish out the jade token from the bottom of the crystal bowl and handed it to Dongzi.
"Although I don't support you giving Lian Ruowei's parents gifts that are beyond your current ability in order to make them happy, but as a man, you have to keep your promise since you told her that you would give jade to her parents.
Dongzi, if there is no problem between you and Lian Ruowei, if you really love her, go to Kyoto to find her. No matter how bad her friend is, she will not spend her life with you. Don't do it because of your relationship with her.
The likes and dislikes of an irrelevant outsider around her will leave you with regrets." I looked at Dongzi and said.
Dongzi looked at me, her lips moved, and the expression on her face was very complicated. She wanted to speak but didn't say anything in the end.
But he didn't reach out to take the jade plaque.
"Take it!" I put the jade token into Dongzi's hand, "This jade token was originally prepared for you. If you use it, it will be in vain for Luo Yue and I to preserve the quality and quality of this jade token.
It took me so long!"
Only then did Dongzi hold the jade plaque tightly, and a tangle of hesitation flashed through her eyes again. She looked at me and nodded: "Thank you, I will think more about it!"
"Okay, you go up and rest first. There is nothing in the store these days. It is not very busy. If you have considered going to Kyoto to find Lian Ruowei, I will give you ten days off." I patted his arm and said.
.
As I said that, I remembered another thing and said, "By the way, if you go to Kyoto, you will need money. I will give you the 250,000 yuan from last time in a while. You can check it."
"Two hundred and fifty thousand?"
Dongzi looked at me with some confusion, "Why did you give me so much money?"
"That's what Zheng Meiqin paid last time!"
I smiled and said, "She transferred a total of 500,000 to me. Wouldn't your 50/50 share be 250,000?"
Dongzi looked at me with confusion on his face and murmured: "Fifty-five points?"
"Well, you are no longer the little cook Dongzi who didn't know anything. Although your aura and haoqi are different, your current cultivation level is not inferior to mine. We just have different priorities.
Although you don’t know those complicated talisman drawing skills and spell formulas, your attack power has reached its peak, how can I still treat you as a little apprentice and assistant to pay you a salary?"
"Then what do you take me for?" Dongzi asked me stupidly, still not responding.
"We are partners now!"
I smiled and stretched out my hand to Dongzi: "Hello, Dongzi, let's work together in the future. Excluding the rent and daily expenses of Yuanqi Pavilion, the income will be 50-50!"
Dongzi looked at me blankly and didn't speak for a long time.
I raised my hand and waved it in front of his eyes and said with a smile, "What? Are you scared of my decision?"
Dongzi came back to his senses, hugged my shoulders fiercely and said: "Hu Ling, why don't you learn to be more selfish? In fact, I have this opportunity to become my master's apprentice, and to be where I am now is all thanks to
It’s up to you! Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, I won’t allow anyone to hurt you!”
