Transmigrated into Substitute Bride Fu Lang Chapter 8: 51 to 52 pt 2, a manhua/chinese comics/漫画 fanfic

As soon as Bao Da Ting's words left his mouth, Zhou Qing immediately looked like he had been stabbed in a hornet's nest, and instantly became furious, pointing his finger at him and angrily saying, "What the fuck with you? How dare you talk to me like this. You are nothing more than a lapdog who helps run errands."

Hearing him scold himself like this, the smile that Bao Da Ting carried on his face remained unchanged, and even became deeper by a few points. He slightly hooked up the corner of his lips, and said word by word: "Young Master Zhou, even if I am just a lackey, that is just a lackey hired by Big Master Zhou, and has no relationship with you. Young Master Zhou, I hope that Zhou Gongzi understands this point!"

Zhou Qing didn't think that he could scold him like this, but he could also do the same, yet he didn't know how to refute him at the moment.

Bao Da Ting, however, as if he did not see his shock, continued to say: "This deal is what Master Zhou personally agreed, now Zhou Gongzi does not agree, then I may have to go to bother Master Zhou and ask him 'who should I listen to?'"

Hearing Bao Da Ting say it like this, Zhou Qing all of a sudden red in the face, furious in mixed with a hint of guilt of being found out as he said: "You even dare to take my eldest uncle to pressure me."

"This subordinate dare not. Just to avoid mistakes, carefully seeking evidence. After all, doing our line of work, the most important thing is to serve the employer well, the employer's will is the first purpose of our service." Bao Da Ting smiled a face of goodwill. The words he said were also extremely good to hear, however when it stopped in Zhou Qing's ears, it didn't sound that pretty anymore.

This trip errand, initially was his mother's request especially for him, in order for him to show his face in front of his uncle. If he, even doing this kind of small thing were not good, not only will he be ridiculed by his mother when he goes back. It will let his uncle who looks down on him become even more and more do not like him.

Zhou Qing's heart somewhat panicked, but on the face he refused to show even half a point. He looked at the grinning Bao Da Ting in front of him, always hearing that oil and salt (describe stubborn) can't talk to a master of glib talker, today he finally met one.

"Tell me, do you need me to ask Zhou Lao Ye (Old Master Zhou), Zhou Gongzi?" Bao Da Ting saw the flash of panic in his eyes and asked in a kind voice.

Zhou Qing was afraid that he would go to ask his uncle, but on his face, he refused to show weakness, turning his head to look at Chen Xing and Gu Lang standing next to him, seeing that Chen Xing still had a look of panting with rage on his face, while that pale-faced scholar was looking at him calmly as if he was some kind of jumping clown (contemptible scoundrel) and then he became even more furious, pointing directly at him and asking, "Do you still want to rent it or not? If you don't rent it, forget it."

Gu Lang looked at his bluffing appearance, the corner of his lips hooked up a small arc, and softly said, "This depends on you, Mr. Zhou. If you don't want to rent it to us anymore, we naturally can't rent it."

Zhou Qing was choked by Gu Lang's treating it as no big deal, and all of a sudden he didn't know how to answer, who knew that the pale-faced scholar in front of him looked like he was being reasonable and have mercy on him as he continued:

"If you don't rent it to us anymore, I wonder if you can return that deposit to us. After all, it was agreed in advance that the deposit is also counted in the rent, and now it can not be rented, it is reasonable that it should be refunded."

Zhou Qing was confused, reflexively asked, "What deposit?"

Bao Da Ting beside him, timely took over the conversation, carefully explain to him: "According to the requirements of Master Zhou, the tenant who want to rent, when they decide to rent, first pay five taels of silver to Master Zhou, is considered to be a good deposit, but it will also counted in the future rent."

"When I first gave that deposit to Master Zhou, Master Zhou gave me a receipt, and now that you're not renting it, do you think that I should go and ask Master Zhou for the deposit? Or what?"

After listening to the sequence of events of the deposit from Bao Da Ting, Zhou Qing secretly cursed, 'That old man, even came to this trick, the shop has not been rented yet it has swallowed so much money.'

But even if Zhou Qing's heart is cursed again, he also does not dare to let this Bao Da Ting to find his uncle, after all, if his uncle knows, he certainly also can not get the benefit. If he does not take out the money, however, Bao Da Ting is not a good guy, so he certainly is not going according to his wish. Certainly this matter will be reported to his uncle there, then his uncle will blame him for the unfavorable work again. But if he lets himself take money out of his savings, he is also in a lot of pain. However, he also can not pull his face now to say that he wants to rent it out.

Just as Zhou Qing was thinking about it from different angles, he couldn't think of a foolproof plan and didn't know what to do, yet that 'give him an inch and he'll take a yard' effeminate young man added, "I wonder how this Gongzi has considered it?"

Zhou Qing raised his eyes and gave him an angry look, very disgusted with this 'play his card according to general rule' scholar.

Gu Lang looked at his appearance of being on the verge of jumping over the wall or driven to desperate action, therefore the smile at the corner of his lips became more and more obvious.

Just as the two parties were at a standstill and Zhou Qing was starting to get annoyed. The official who had been sitting next to him without saying anything, stood up all of a sudden and hit the table, looking at the several people who were looking over because of his actions, then said angrily, "You guys, do you guys still wanna sign this contract or not? "

After roaring, the official looked at Zhou Qing with a fierce look on his face, and said angrily, "Zhou Qing, what exactly are you doing here? Are you here to amuse me, your grandfather (context here: not real grandpa)? I've written all the deeds for you, so you can sign it when you take a look at the land deed. You've been messing around here for half a day. What do you want? Ah, if you don't give me an explanation, I'll go find your mother and ask for a clear clarification then!"

Zhou Qing, who was already feeling guilty at heart, was immediately weakened by the official's yelling, and hurriedly argued, "I'm here to sign the contract ah! What else can I do?"

Hearing Zhou Qing say it like this, the official got even angrier, and with a 'snap' took out the deed he had written in the morning then he put it in front of Zhou Qing and grumpily said, "In that case, are you still going to sign it now or not?"

"Sign, I'll sign it. Of course I'll sign it." Zhou Qing who bullied the weak and feared the strong was somewhat shocked when he was so ferocious toward him.

After that official had finished yelling at Zhou Qing, when he looked at Chen Xing again, his face instantly softened, and his tone of voice softened quite a bit, "Do you still want to sign it?"

Chen Xing looked at Zhou Qing who had been arrogant yet now cowering in fear at the slightest thing, a few moments of hesitation appeared on his face, he felt that Gu Lang had suffered in vain for this just a moment ago and signing it would be like betraying him.

Gu Lang beside him, however, seemed to know his concerns, and gently patted the back of his hand, warmly consoling him, "People don't argue with a dog."

"Who the fuck are you calling me a dog?" Zhou Qing exploded in a second at his words.

Gu Lang, however, looked at him indifferently without answering.

Zhou Qing became even more angry, however at this time, that official even slapped him on the head, interrupting his anger, "Do you sign it or not?"

"Sign, I'll sign it." Zhou Qing, who didn't know how he offended the official, immediately became panicked after receiving this slap, looking somewhat pitiful.

That yamen official looked at him and hummed disdainfully, then took out the deed and put it in front of him, saying condescendingly, "Since you're going to sign it, then hurry up. Show me the land deed, don't stain it and don't delay it."

"Ay, okay."

In the face of that official's pressure, Zhou Qing busily opened the box and took out the land deed from inside to the official.

Gu Lang watched from the side without moving, and after seeing the entirety of the land deed, the arc of the cold smile at the corner of his mouth became deeper and deeper. It was really not far from what he thought.

The official took that land deed and looked at it again and again, seemed somehow hesitant, turned his head to look at the side of the downcast (hanging his head dispiritedly) Zhou Qing. He felt that he was being too oversensitive, no longer over thinking.

The official transcribed the key things on the land deed to the original two deeds, then let the two related sides sign and draw a pledge and finally let them deliver the rent in front of his face, then today this deal is considered to be finished.

That Zhou Qing took the rent and the contract given by the official, and then delivered a service fee, and then ran away like flying (very fast) .

Until they left the government office, by the cold wind outside, he suddenly sobered up a bit. He obviously went to rent out the shop, conveniently also to get the benefit fee. However, at the end of the day, not only did he not get any benefits, but how he made himself look like he was the one who wanted to rent the shop?

Zhou Qing indignantly glanced at the Yamen office inscribed board (fixed to a wall or the lintel of a door) behind him, feeling that he should have been set up by the gang just now, he must go back and talk to his eldest uncle.

Inside Yamen office,

Although the process was not very pretty, Chen Xing was still very happy to finally get the contract.

Chen Xing first gave the official and Bao Da Ting the payment they were entitled to, and gave them a little more because they had just spoken for him. Then he explained to Bao Da Ting that he still needed some craftsmen to decorate or renovate the shop and asked his help to introduce them.

Bao Da Ting was already very fond of this polite and modest little Ger, and just now he even saw that the official was courteous to him, and in his heart, he was also guessing his background. Therefore, after hearing his request, he carefully sifted through it in his mind and quickly selected suitable candidates.

Having made up his mind, Bao Da Ting twisted his head to look at Chen Xing next to him, and under his expectant gaze, he directly said: "I do have a suitable carpenter here, and the price is considered fair. Just don't know when you are going to renovate it. This kind of thing also needs to be consulted with each other, otherwise I'm afraid that by then, the things made out of it are not to your liking."

Chen Xing sniffed and immediately said, "Can we go over there now?" He was thinking of completing his work earlier, and also being able to open the shop earlier.

Bao Da Ting was not surprised by his idea of going over immediately and nodded his head before preparing to take them there.

Chen Xing took the draft paper that he had drawn yesterday, said goodbye to that official, and together with Gu Lang, followed Bao Da Ting to leave.

Looking at Bao Da Ting who was leading the way in front of him, Chen Xing, after a while, still turned his head to look at Gu Lang who had a calm face, and sincerely said, "I'm sorry."

Gu Lang turned his head to look at him, his eyes were puzzled, not understanding why suddenly Chen Xing wanted to apologize to him when everything was perfectly fine.

Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang's those clear eyes and said with some embarrassment, "If it's not because I want to rent this shop, you wouldn't have been humiliated by that person just now."

Although in the end, it didn't work out the way that fool or gangster wanted it to, Chen Xing still felt a bit sorry for Gu Lang.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing, whose face was filled with self-blame, reached out and touched his head, comforting him with a warm voice, "It's just that he's being deliberately unreasonable. It's not your fault, no one expected such a thing. Even if it wasn't us who rented the shop, that person would still make things difficult as usual, we just happened to stumble upon it. Besides that, I actually don't care because he wasn't able to take advantage of me either, and maybe he'll even get a lecture when he goes back."

Chen Xing raised his eyes to look at him, somewhat curious as to what he meant by this, however Gu Lang no longer had the intention of opening his mouth after saying this, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After Gu Lang's comforting words, Chen Xing's mood was also much better. He raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him, nodded heavily, and gently answered, "Hn."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing, who had regained some vitality, and smiled along with him.

Afterwards, Chen Xing followed Bao Da Ting to the renovation craftsman and told him about the part of the shops that needed to be renovated and how to decorate them. The craftsman took Chen Xing's deposit and agreed to start the work the next day.

When he came out from the craftsman, Chen Xing looked at Bao Da Ting who had brought them all the way, and put forward his last request, "In the future, when my shop is already open, I still need some helpers. I wonder if there are any suitable helpers from your side?"

Bao Da Ting heard him talk like this, did not immediately agree to help him find helpers, but asked him first, after hearing Chen Xing finished his request, he pondered for a while before saying, "I have a few people who are suitable for the request, if you are free, why don't you come to my home tomorrow to take a look? If it's suitable for you then keep it, if it's not, then I'll introduce another one for you. "

Hearing Bao Da Ting say this, Chen Xing immediately nodded. He felt that having a Bao Da Ting was really too convenient. No matter what problems you asked him several times, then it was done.

After Chen Xing and Bao Da Ting had agreed on the details and agreed to meet those who were to be hired the next day before the craftsmen came over to renovate the shop, he then gave Bao Da Ting another amount of hiring money, before they went their separate ways.

On the way back, thinking of all that he had experienced today, Chen Xing still felt a bit saddened, "Today, thanks to Bao Da Ting, otherwise it would have been very troublesome. I can now see how much skill this Bao Da Ting has, if he didn't have a bit of skill, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to give us help in such a short period of time, this is really an example of an expert [lit. In every trade, a master appears (idiom)] ah!"

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's happy appearance and gently nodded his head, as if agreeing with his words.

Chen Xing walked on the street together with Gu Lang, looking at the crowds of people coming and going around, and finally happily pulled Gu Lang's sleeve, and softly said, "Alright, although today wasn't very smooth, we've finally finished everything. Let's go back early to rest. Oh that's right, what do you want to eat today? Let's go to the food market first, then we'll go home after buying food."

Gu Lang looked at the happy Chen Xing, smiled and nodded, and the two of them went to the food market in company of each other.

On the other end, Zhou Qing thought about what happened today, the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, and in the end, he returned home after holding in a full stomach of anger.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Qing saw his mother sitting in the hall eating melon seeds. Seeing him come back, she also raised her eyelids, spat out a mouthful of melon seeds skin, and said unhurriedly, "You're back? How's today's matter going?"

In the face of his old mother, Zhou Qing immediately became honest, drooped his shoulders and reluctantly said: "Signed already."

His mother looked at him, extraordinarily disgusted as she said, "Since it's all done, go to your eldest uncle's place and say a word, let him know that you have beautifully done the things."

Thinking of the grievances he received outside today, Zhou Qing, who was usually extraordinarily relaxed in front of his mother, finally voiced out in defiance, "Mother, am I your own son or not? Can't you see that I've suffered outside, how can you still let me go and curry favor with my eldest uncle?"

His mother threw the melon rind in her hand, looked at him with disgust, and said with incomparable impatience: "There is no one who can make you suffer, it is probably you who want to take advantage of the situation (make a hard bargain), but in the end it didn't work out, and in turn, you were taught a lesson by the other person. I wish you weren't my own child , so that I could worry less. It's a pity, ah, that I gave birth to a loser like you."

Zhou Qing was poked in the sore spot by his mother, listening to her scolding him there he didn't dare to say a word and only dared to endure it in silence.

After Mother Zhou finished enumerating his wrongdoings, her eyes swept up and down on her own good-for-nothing son's body, and finally said, "By the way, how much is the rent? How much will you give to your uncle, don't be greedy, or when you are back, beware of me smacking you!"

Zhou Qing was a little guilty after being said like that by his mother's words, but he still hardened his heart and said, "I won't. You still don't trust me?"

Mother Zhou looked at him and snorted, her face full of disdain, "You are born from my womb, what kind of characters you are, can I still not know? Alright, listen to mother, in the future, your eldest uncle certainly won't let you without anything. You change your clothes first before going to see your eldest uncle."

"Yes."

Originally he wanted to come back with the benefit, but the result was he had to held a stomach of anger instead. Zhou Qing reluctantly responded, he went back to his own room to change clothes. His heart also gradually held grudges toward the two tenants, thinking that if it were not for them, he would not be subjected to such an aggrievement. Next time, if there is an opportunity, he must get double benefits.

Bringing such a mood, after Zhou Qing changed his clothes, with the witness of his mother, he went out to look for their family's most successful eldest uncle.

On the other hand, Chen Xing felt that Gu Lang had suffered a lot today because of the matter of signing the contract, so he specially cooked a table full of delicious foods for him to console his hurt feelings.

Although Gu Lang didn't feel wronged or suffered, he was still quite flattered or enjoying Chen Xing's care, so after seeing a table full of his favorite dishes, he still couldn't help but curl his lips, and his expression was a few points gentler than usual.

After serving up the table full of dishes, Chen Xing finally took out an extraordinarily good-looking bottle, and proudly introduced it under Gu Lang and Qiu Jiu's puzzled gazes, "This is fruit wine I personally made!"

Gu Lang raised his eyes to look at Chen Xing's proud and inspired expression, and thinking of how he looked after he got drunk last time, he still didn't hold back and asked, "This wine, can you drink it?"

Hearing Gu Lang ask him this, Chen Xing laughed, 'He he.', patted his own chest, and said with incomparable confidence, "Of course, I brewed the wine myself, and I myself dare to guarantee that this time, I definitely won't get drunk like last time."

After Chen Xing finished this sentence with incomparable pride, he picked up the bottle of wine and filled up the wine cups in front of them, then raised the cup and said happily towards them, "Come on, let's toast."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's happy appearance, in his heart, although he was doubting, half believing him when he said he wouldn't get drunk, he still clinked glasses with him as he wished.

After a glass of wine was drunk, Qiu Jiu's eyes immediately lit up, and he gave a thumbs up towards Chen Xing, praising him, "It tastes very good!"

Chen Xing grew more and more complacent, looking at him and saying, "Right? I brewed the wine myself, there's no reason why it not good?"

After saying that, Chen Xing filled up Qiu Jiu's glass while adding another one for himself.

Looking at Chen Xing's bold and unconstrained bearing, Gu Lang's eyebrows jumped, he had a rather 'not-so-good' premonition.

Half an hour later, Gu Lang expressionlessly looked at Chen Xing who was hugging his back as if he was a disobedient little child, his cheeks flushed red and reeking of alcohol, his whole body exuding low pressure.

Qiu Jiu, who was next to him, saw this scene and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks dexterously, looking at his family young master and carefully said, "Gongzi, take care of Chen Xing. I'm going to clean up the kitchen." After saying that, he picked up the dishes and chopsticks then ran away.

Gu Lang watched at the other chief culprit who run away, turned his head to look at Chen Xing who was clinging into himself. Looking at his skin that was dyed a little pinky colour because of his drunkenness, his eyes couldn't help but settle down on his lips that were open for breathing because of his breathlessness, those lips were pink, showing a little bit of strolling because it soaked up with alcohol, and it was very kissable at one glance.

Gu Lang's throat couldn't help but roll twice, forcibly suppressing his sudden and some kind of ineffable desire. He even felt that Chen Xing leaning on his shoulder, his accidentally spewing out breath was somewhat hot.

Finally, as Chen Xing wrapped himself around him once again, Gu Lang finally couldn't help but push him away, pressing his hands on his shoulders and looking at him with a serious face, "Chen Xing, are you still sober now?"

Chen Xing's face was all flushed, staring at him innocently, tilted his head at his words, blinking his eyes at him, seemingly not quite understanding what he was saying, and even reaching out to flutter around trying to grab him as he struggled.

But no matter how Chen Xing moved around him, Gu Lang's hands were like a pair of pincers, firmly fixing his shoulders.

A few moments later, after struggling in vain, Chen Xing pitifully stared at Gu Lang with his big and watery eyes, then after seeing that he didn't move, he held back his mouth and started to shed tears, "Xing Xing is so pitiful, Xing Xing only wants a hug."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's this kind of appearance, took a deep breath, let out a long sigh, let go of the hand that was clamping down on him, and put him into his arms, helplessly saying, "If you wake up tomorrow and come back to your senses, don't be angry with me because you feel ashamed!"

Being held in Gu Lang's arms and feeling the warmth surrounding him, Chen Xing immediately stopped his tears and broke into a smile, rubbing happily in Gu Lang's embrace.

Not far away, Xue Qiu looked at the two-legged creature that were hugging each other, and somewhat less able to understand, cocked its head, flicked its tail, yawned a big yawn, and slumped down in place before it doze off.

"Ah—"

The next morning, a scream suddenly came out of the Gu family's residence, which was always very quiet. It was so loud that the sparrows napping on the trees were all startled and flew away with their fluttering wings.

Gu Lang, who was carrying a small bucket to water the flowers, glanced in the direction of the sound, and continued to lower his head, carefully watering the flowers he had planted as he whispered, "Yesterday, I've already advised you!"

However in the room that had made a loud noise, Chen Xing was holding his head, rubbing his hair that had been messed up into a chicken nest, still somewhat in disbelief of what he had done yesterday. He had actually pestered Gu Lang and acted coquettishly for a hug. He had hugged him for a long time, even taking the opportunity to rub Gu Lang's face a few times in the meantime.

Thinking about this, Chen Xing rubbed his own head furiously, and now he really wished that he was in a system as if he could break in the middle of viewing a film when he woke up, so that he wouldn't have to face such an embarrassment.

Unfortunately, Chen Xing not only remembered clearly what he did yesterday, but even remembered clearly what kind of touch or feel he had when he rubbed against Gu Lang yesterday.

Chen Xing felt ashamed of himself, he pledge in all sincerity that the wine was low in alcohol content so he said that he would not get drunk before he drank it yesterday, but in the end, he hit himself in the face before he finished eating.

Just as Chen Xing was upset for an unknown period of time, with both of his hands on the quilt and his eyes staring blankly ahead, a 'do-do-do' knocking sound suddenly rang out from outside the door, which was extremely rhythmic upon hearing it.

Hearing this sound, Chen Xing could not help but feel a tightness in his heart so he subconsciously yelled, "Who is it?"

As soon as Chen Xing's question came out, Gu Lang's voice came from outside the door as unhurried as in the past. Only to hear him ask in a deeply concerned tone outside the door, "I see that it's already breakfast time yet you haven't woken up. I thought that you are still not awake from yesterday's hangover, so I gave you 'a bowl of sobering up soup' over."

Seeing that outside the door was Gu Lang, who had been harrassed by him last night, Chen Xing subconsciously felt a little guilty, rubbing his head, which was still a little dizzy, he said towards the outside: "I'm fine, you guys go eat breakfast first ba! I will come over after resting for a while."

Gu Lang, who was standing in the doorway, heard Chen Xing's voice, his eyes flickered, and when Chen Xing inside thought that he had already left, he continued, "Xing Xing, don't you forget, we are going to go to Bao Da Ting's place to see the person today, and I'm afraid that if you can't get up, we'll be breaking our promise."

When Chen Xing heard this, he was violently startled, then patted his still somewhat swollen head, and said with disappointment that iron does not turn into steel , "How could I be so stupid? I even forgot about this."

The next second after Chen Xing finished blaming himself, Gu Lang repeated what he had just said, "Xing Xing, you open the door first and drink the sobering soup."

Just as Gu Lang was staring at the sobering up soup placed in the blue and white porcelain bowl in his hand, guessing whether Chen Xing would open the door and when he would open it, the door in front of him suddenly opened all of a sudden at once. The next thing he knew, he saw the unkempt dressed Chen Xing who was staring at him with a shy face.

"You, why are you here?" Chen Xing had gotten up in too much of a hurry, and at this moment, the clothes on his body were only loosely worn.

Gu Lang's eyes first scanned round his body, focusing on his vaguely visible inner clothes for a moment, then only retracted his eyes under Chen Xing's vigilant movements, raised his head to look at Chen Xing's somewhat uncomfortable face, gently hooked up the corners of his lips, revealing a gentle smile that was no different from that of his weekdays, and tenderly said, "Won't you let me go in first? "

Hearing this warning, Chen Xing realized that Gu Lang was still carrying the sobering up soup he had bought for himself in his hand, and he hurriedly made way for Gu Lang to enter.

This was Gu Lang's first time entering Chen Xing's room. Since he had come in, now he only felt that it was similar to the time when Chen Xing had not lived in the room, only that there were some more of Chen Xing's personal clothes close to Chen Xing's bed. It made this small room full of the atmosphere of life.

Chen Xing had been uncomfortable ever since he knew that Gu Lang had come, and even stood beside him not knowing what to do when he placed the tray on the table.

Gu Lang gently put down the things in his hand, straightened up and saw Chen Xing standing next to him foolishly. The look on his face became more and more gentle, he reached out his hand and directly pinched the tie of the clothes on Chen Xing's body.

Chen Xing's giddy brain felt like it had been stimulated all of a sudden, and immediately grabbed his wrist, asking with some alarm, "What are you doing?"

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing, who was gradually reddening from his neck to his cheeks. Even half-heartedly, he didn't feel the sense of guilty of being caught in the act, instead, he incomparably calmly said, "Your clothes aren't dressed properly, I'm going to help you rearrange it a bit."

"Oh." Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang's calm smile, and suddenly had a feeling that he had made a fuss over small matters, and all of a sudden, he let go of his hand, and said slowly, "Then, thank you then."

"You're welcome." Gu Lang flashed him a harmless smile, and in three or two strokes, he undid the straps he had tied wrongly, and helped him put on his outer clothes again.

Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang, who was busy around him, and suddenly felt that something wasn't quite right there, but his brain, which was still immersed in a hangover, couldn't recall where it wasn't quite right for a moment. So, he stood there dumbfounded and let Gu Lang help him, but his cheeks were getting redder and hotter.

Chen Xing had only put on the wrong outer garment, so it hadn't even been half an incense stick of work before Gu Lang had already tidied up Chen Xing's clothes. When he took a step back, he saw the red-faced Chen Xing standing there dumbfounded, not knowing what he was thinking.

Gu Lang looked at him and was first stunned for a moment, then gently smiled and spoke towards him, "It's done."

Chen Xing, who had originally felt a bit uncomfortable because the temperature around him had lowered a bit due to Gu Lang's arrival, when he heard Gu Lang say this, it was like he snapped back to his senses, glancing at Gu Lang standing in front of him, and then looking at his own neatly tidied up clothes. His whole body was in a state of being unable to get back to his senses because the information he had received was too complicated, and so the whole of his body could not get back to his senses.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing like he was a very fucking dull, gently pursed his lips, stifled the laughter that was about to leave his mouth, and looked at him and said, "Qiu Jiu is still cooking breakfast, so I'll go and give him a hand. Why don't you drink the sobering soup first, pack up and come over for breakfast? Later, after we finish eating, we'll go to find Pao Da Ting to meet those people who are going to do the work.

For this series of commands from Gu Lang, Chen Xing now only cared about nodding his head, until Gu Lang left his direction. He stared at Gu Lang's gradually fading back and slowly covered his burning cheeks. For what he did yesterday, Gu Lang was not even angry. Not only was he not angry, Gu Lang even sent him sobering up soup this morning, and even helped him tidy up his clothes!

It was only when he thought of this, Chen Xing suddenly realized as an afterthought that Gu Lang's action of helping him re-tie his clothes just now was not a little too ambiguous. He stared at his clothes that were re-tied by Gu Lang before then the heat that had just receded on his face rose a little bit more.
