"It's a secret between us men, we can't talk about it," Old Master Bai joked, a smile on his face.
Lu Zhixia felt there was something hidden in their words, but she couldn't figure out what they were talking about. She had been going to bed on time these past few days, usually falling asleep before 8 o'clock.
So I'm a little sleepy now, and my eyelids are drooping involuntarily!
Gu Lingxiao was good at reading people. He noticed that Lu Zhixia had closed her eyes several times, indicating that she was sleepy. So he told his grandfather...
"It's getting late, let's head back now and come back tomorrow."
"Okay, be careful on the road and drive carefully," Grandpa Bai replied, though he was actually a little sleepy himself.
I only drank a strong cup of tea in the afternoon to prepare for the acupuncture; otherwise, I would have been asleep by now.
When Lu Zhixia heard that they could leave, she quickly grabbed her bag.
"Grandpa, how about I come over tomorrow and make you wontons?"
"Sure! I'm not picky about food."
"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll make sure you're satisfied!"
After saying this, Lu Zhixia followed Gu Lingxiao out the door.
There's no moonlight tonight, so we're relying entirely on the light from our flashlights.
"By the way, why didn't that guy surnamed Ma come today?"
"He has a mission and can't come, so why are you worried about him?" Gu Lingxiao's tone became more serious. "Otherwise, why would you ask about him?"
Lu Zhixia raised her little face and said, "That's because there's one less person to eat with. Is he coming over tomorrow? If he's not coming, I'll prepare less food."
Gu Lingxiao smiled happily, "He probably won't be coming tomorrow. By the way, should I come over early the day after tomorrow and ask Song Weidong to vacate the room?"
Lu Zhixia thought that Song Weidong loved to use tricks and schemes. If Gu Lingxiao were present, it might save a lot of trouble. But would that delay other people's business?
"Won't it be a lot of trouble? If it is, then don't come."
"It's okay, I can arrange the training in advance."
"Okay, come over when you have time. I should be going in the afternoon; I need to do business in the morning to make some money."
"Okay, I'll come over this afternoon."
After speaking, they reached the car. Gu Lingxiao opened the car door and let her get in first, then he got in himself.
Xiao Zhang turned around and asked, "Sister Xia, what are we eating tomorrow?"
"Today isn't even over yet and you're already talking about tomorrow? You're such a foodie! Look at this! If I can buy chicken tomorrow, I'll make chicken wontons."
"Okay, I love wontons, and it would be even better if there were fried dough sticks too."
"Then I'll arrange it according to the situation."
"Long live Sister Xia!" Xiao Zhang said, then turned around and quickly drove off.
The captain's face darkened again. Why is he so jealous of everything?
This is outrageous! People will be so jealous from now on!
The car quickly arrived at the tenement building, and just like before, they got out of the car.
Lu Zhixia was already starting to feel drowsy. She had forced herself to climb the stairs in one breath, and now she felt like she could fall asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.
I finally reached the door and turned around to talk to him, but I turned too fast and didn't even notice that he was right behind me.
She was pressed against him, and she quickly separated herself, but she backed away too fast and fell backward.
Then her waist was wrapped around, and then she was pulled back.
Are you alright?
"It's nothing, I just wasn't paying attention to the distance just now. Okay, I'll unlock the door and go home first. You should go home and rest too."
"Um."
Lu Zhixia took out her keys from her pocket and hurriedly opened the door. Could it be that she had caused a misunderstanding?
I always make silly mistakes; I must not make them again next time.
This key is working against me. It usually goes in as soon as I insert it, but why can't it go in even after I've been trying for ages?
Gu Lingxiao, who couldn't stand it any longer, thought that if they turned around, how could they possibly get the key in? So he grabbed the key and opened the door the correct way.
Actually, he had just used a little trick. He deliberately took a step forward, and when the woman turned around and bumped into him, he smiled slightly.
Lu Zhixia wondered how he could react so quickly and know everything. Soon the key was back in her hand.
Goodbye, Captain Gu!
"See you tomorrow!"
Lu Zhixia quickly closed the door and went inside. Only when she heard the footsteps fading away did she relax.
I turned on the light and felt a sense of warmth seeing the familiar little house. I simply washed my hands, then my face, and then my feet before going to bed.
I was so tired that I didn't even have time to pour water.
After getting into the car, Gu Lingxiao said to Xiao Zhang, "From now on, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't try to flatter me. Just talk to me like you would to someone else."
Xiao Zhang was completely bewildered. He didn't seem to say anything, and he couldn't understand what the straight man was thinking. He just needed to be more careful in the future.
He drove away, knowing he would have to endure this kind of life for another 20 days or so. But thinking about the good food he could eat every day, he felt he could extend the time even further.
I was a little envious of the captain. If I could win over Comrade Gu, I could eat delicious food for the rest of my life!
——
Chen Jianing asked two people before finding Brother Biao. He was playing cards with a group of people, and behind each of them sat heavily made-up women.
Although the crackdown on misconduct is very severe now, some people still manage to find loopholes. As long as they are shameless, they can make any kind of money.
She sometimes envied these women because she couldn't earn that much; they could easily make a dozen yuan a night just by lying down.
Brother Biao looked at Chen Jianing. She was dressed very beautifully today, just the kind of woman he liked. However, this woman was scheming.
She had schemed against me several times before, and I hadn't even managed to touch her, but I had lost her things and money.
