There were footsteps and voices outside the yard, and it sounded like Old Chen next door.

"Hey, who are you? Why don't I seem to have seen you in this alley?"

Old Chen from next door was holding a kitchen knife in his hand. His body was not as shriveled and lifeless as the average sixty-year-old man. He looked fat and strong, and his eyes were fierce.

He glanced at the two strangers, walked out of the yard with a kitchen knife, and saw that the lock of Jiang's house was open, his expression changed.

"Have you entered this yard?"

"No, sir, we are just passing by."

“Knock knock.”

Old Chen knocked on the door twice and asked.

"Is anyone in there? Xiao Qiao, are you back?"

After hearing what Old Chen said, the two people outside exchanged glances and stopped walking.

Jiang Xiaoqiao gestured for Gu Xiangbei to release the hand covering her mouth and replied loudly, "Grandpa Chen, it's me! I haven't been home for a long time and the house is covered with dust. Wait for me to clean it up before I come to visit you."

When he heard Jiang Xiaoqiao's voice, the fierce look in Old Chen's eyes disappeared and turned into gentle eyes.

"Girl, why didn't you call us when you came back? We can just help clean it up." Old Chen said, "Xiao Qiao, don't cook lunch. Just come to Grandpa Chen's place and eat later."

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa Chen. I'll pack it right away."

"Don't worry, I'll make two more dishes. There's no rush."

After Old Man Chen finished speaking, he picked up the kitchen knife and prepared to go back to his kitchen to continue cooking.

Seeing the two people standing there, he asked, "Hey, you haven't left yet? Who are you looking for?"

"I didn't find anyone. It's just that Beijing is too big and I walked into the wrong alley."

"By the way, sir, we have another companion. He's about this tall and has a scar on the right side of his cheek. Have you seen him?"

"No, no, old man, I have to go back and cook."

Old Chen responded impatiently twice and went back to his yard.

The two men outside the yard exchanged glances and chased forward.

In the Jiang family courtyard, Jiang Xiaoqiao and Gu Xiangbei stood face to face.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Xiaoqiao whispered, "Comrade Gu Xiangbei???"

She stretched out her hand and pointed at the scar on Gu Xiangbei's right cheek that ran from his eyebrow to his cheekbone.

"How did you do this?"

The two of them were very close at this moment, so close that Gu Xiangbei could clearly see every eyelash of Jiang Xiaoqiao, and so close that he could clearly smell the fragrance on her body.

“Bang, bang!”

"Also, what happened just now? Why did you come to Jing City?"

[Ding, ding, ding, ding, heart rate +10+50+100+150...]

Hearing the information about the heart rate arriving as if at a convulsion, Jiang Xiaoqiao widened her eyes slightly in disbelief and leaned forward towards Gu Xiangbei.

Now, the distance between the two is closer.

The ding-dong sounds in her mind never stopped. Jiang Xiaoqiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Xiangbei, whose skin color had obviously darkened by two degrees and whose face could not be concealed with a blush.

"Gu Xiangbei, tell me the truth, did you chase me all the way to Jing City?"

Although it was unclear why Gu Xiangbei had to change his attire when he appeared in front of her again, it had to be said that the scar that pierced his brow bone and his skin tone that had darkened by two shades did not make Gu Xiangbei look ugly. Instead, it made him look more unique.

Well, how should I say it?

If the previous Gu Xiangbei was a young poplar in the wind, young and green, then the current Gu Xiangbei has more charm of a mature man, with a tough and handsome style.

It has to be said that no matter which style Gu Xiangbei has, he is completely in line with Jiang Xiaoqiao's aesthetic line.

Her heart began to stir again.

Originally, Jiang Xiaoqiao had no intention of giving Gu Xiangbei any good face. She had already been rejected, so why should she give him a good face?

However, at this moment, the frantic heartbeat in her mind and Gu Xiangbei's dark red face made Jiang Xiaoqiao reluctantly forgive Gu Xiangbei for a moment.

"Comrade Gu Xiangbei, you really don't have any good feelings towards me at all?"

Jiang Xiaoqiao moved forward again, and Gu Xiangbei staggered back two steps.

His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he didn't dare to look into Jiang Xiaoqiao's eyes.

"S-Sorry, Jiang Zhiqing, for disturbing you. I-I have to leave first."

The next second, Gu Xiangbei could be said to have escaped in a panic.

The strongest soldier who had won the military competition for three consecutive years was almost unable to climb over the wall at this moment.

Jiang Xiaoqiao looked at his embarrassed back as he fled and pursed her lips.

"This guy is so stubborn, what will happen if he says he has feelings for me?"

[We’ve sent it, we’ve sent it, host, we’ve sent it!!!]

5200 excitedly said: [Host! We made it! You'll never believe how much heart rate we earned in that wave just now! ! !]

One thousand and twenty!! Oh my god! That’s one thousand and twenty! And it’s been less than ten minutes!!

[The other masters must be envious of me! Host, you are amazing! !]

[That's right, that's right. Gu Xiangbei, the wealthy man, gave a thousand heartbeats to congratulate you, but you only gave twenty. Is that right...?]

Isn't it a bit cruel to not say the second half of the sentence?

Jiang Xiaoqiao felt a little guilty, but after thinking about it, she felt justified again.

[What? 5200, I told Gu Xiangbei directly that I have a crush on him.]

[What about him? He rejected me on the first day, but secretly has been attracted to me. When I asked him a question just now, he was still hesitant.]

[Tongzi, if you have a crush on someone in the future, don't do this. This won't work.]

5200 didn't quite understand, but it said: [Host, host, with so many heartbeats, do you want to buy something from the system mall? ]

I don’t want to buy it now.

Jiang Xiaoqiao refused directly. She really didn't want to spend any heartbeat points for the time being.

No matter how 5200 acted coquettishly and cutely, Jiang Xiaoqiao remained unmoved. She dusted off her clothes and washed her face.

Jiang Xiaoqiao took out a small bag from her bag, filled half of it with nearly thirty White Rabbit candies, and went to Chen's house.

"Grandpa Chen, Grandma Chen, Chunsheng, I'm here."

Old Chen poked his head out of the kitchen and said, "Xiao Qiao, please sit down for a moment. The meal will be ready soon."

Grandma Chen greeted with a smile: "Xiao Qiao, you are back, come quickly, come and sit down."

A five-year-old child sitting next to Grandma Chen in the yard looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao with wide eyes. After thinking for a moment, he clapped his hands and called out crisply, "Sister Xiaoqiao!"

"Hey, Chunsheng, you still remember me." Jiang Xiaoqiao reached out and gently pinched the child's fat cheek, causing him to curl his eyebrows shyly.

"Of course I remember Sister Xiao Qiao~"

Jiang Xiaoqiao took out two White Rabbit candies from her bag and gave them to the child, saying with a smile, "Chunsheng is so cute."
