Chapter 32: Comparison



"Something similar to today will happen again, I guarantee."

The funniest thing is that after doing such a shocking thing, the friendliness level above the head of the person standing in front of him remained stable at [10], this dangerous edge did not move at all. Gou An didn't know whether he should praise him for his stable emotions.

[Jiao Jiao: Maybe this is the only thing I expect of you——]

The fat cat raised its furry paws, and its two toes tried hard to separate the gap of about one millimeter.

[Jiao Jiao: So the fact that you can do something like this actually fits his impression of you as a willful crazy woman.]

Gou An: “…”

The bodyguard in front of him was indeed in a very disheveled state. Sticky ice cream juice was dripping down his chin, mixed with red jam, and dripping onto his originally spotless shoes.

That originally fair and beautiful face now looks even colder than usual...

Ye Lang stood there motionless and remained silent. Compared with the people around him who were truly stunned, the victim in question was like a pool of stagnant water, quietly watching the eldest daughter of the Gou family who suddenly went crazy.

If he was angry, it was probably because a deeper level of confusion occupied Ye Lang's mind at this moment.

In the silent confrontation between Gou An and Ye Lang, Lu Wan, who had already finished her shift behind the bar, was the first to react. At this time, she had already walked out of the bar with an anxious look on her face, got a clean, wet disposable rag, and came to Ye Lang: "Hurry up and wipe it——"

She stretched out her hand to wipe it for Ye Lang, her fingertips almost touching his chin, but suddenly she seemed to remember that this person didn't like physical contact with people, so she stopped her hand abruptly...

Lu Wan looked at Ye Lang and handed over the wet cloth in his hand.

Ye Lang then lowered his eyes to look at the girl standing in front of him, remained silent (not even saying thank you) and took the rag from her hand -

"Don't answer it!"

Not far away, a sharp sound like a whistle was heard again.

Ye Lang was stunned by the shouting, and his gaze, which was originally on Lu Wan, shifted away to look at Miss Gou, who was standing not far away with her hands on her hips and looking at him with a frown.

"Put it down for me."

Miss Gou ordered with a cold face.

In the lower three districts of Jiangcheng, everyone has a consensus: those who dare to speak loudly to Brother Wolf will not receive a single word in response, but in the next second, they will be stuffed into a garbage can in the back alley of Ye Weiyang, and will have to crawl out with a bruised face.

How many years has it been since I heard such an arrogant order?

Even if Master Hong Jiu really was afraid of the Jiang family because of Ye Weiyang being smashed and had to fire him, he chose his words very carefully and almost rolled out the red carpet to send Brother Wolf away.

What's going on with this little girl?

The fuse in Ye Lang's brain was about to burn out, but that didn't stop him from hesitating for a second and then obediently placing the wet rag in his hand on the bar next to him.

"Hey, Alan?"

Lu Wan's eyes widened in shock at his action.

Then he turned his head and looked at Gou An in disbelief.

On the one hand, he couldn't believe how dare she order Alang like this.

At the same time, she couldn't believe that Alang actually listened to her.

However, no matter how surprised she was, Ye Lang did not look at her again. He just stood aside with a blank face and in a mess, even though the ice cream juice was still flowing down his slightly pointed chin and "dripping" onto his collar.

He seemed totally unaffected.

The bodyguard standing by the door just tilted his head and watched Gou An ask the staff to pack up her ice cream, then took out his wallet to pay for the store cleaning fee, and finally waved to the other customers who were watching the excitement in the store and apologized for affecting their happy afternoon tea.

Very polite throughout the whole process.

Except for him.

After arranging everything, Gou An picked up the pile of shopping bags that had just been placed next to him, but in his hand there was an extra dessert bag filled with ice packs, compared to when he entered the store.

Very heavy.

Carrying a lot of bags did not stop Miss Gou from walking out of the store with her head held high.

Without blinking, he passed by Ye Lang.

She walked three or four steps out of the door before she stopped and turned around. She found that the tall figure in a disheveled state was still standing there, following her with his eyes.

Because when she turned around, she met his dark eyes that were as sharp as a knife.

I don’t know if it was because of anger or some other reason, but those eyes, which were usually dull, became unusually bright the moment she turned her head.

Beside him, Lu Wan anxiously asked him if he was okay, but Ye Lang ignored her and just turned his head to stare at Gou An stubbornly. His eyes looked like he wanted to eat her up on the spot, so focused that it was scary.

Being stared at disrespectfully like this should have made her even angrier, but Gou An's anger subsided a little. She put down the shopping bags that were about to break her hands and kicked one of them: "You take it."

Of course, these words were spoken to Ye Lang.

Originally, according to Gou An's impression of this person as being cold and stinky, and only responding to soft words but not hard ones, he might just ignore her, and then they could have another big fight -

Unexpectedly, after receiving the order, he raised his hand and casually wiped the sticky milkshake-like ice cream on his chin with the back of his hand, then walked straight towards her.

The young man who bent down to pick up the pile of shopping bags on the ground and stood up straight in front of her now looked ridiculous and grotesque.

Everyone in the mall was looking at him, but this time, their gazes were no longer filled with amazement, but with surprise...

But, it seemed that there was no difference between the two gazes to him.

Except for his dirty clothes and face, he looked exactly the same as when he was standing at the entrance of the mall before entering.

He lowered his head slightly and stared at Gou An. His forbearing look made Gou An speechless. He just wanted to call Gou Yu and ask him how much money he paid the bodyguard. Otherwise, how could such a good person turn into a Ninja Turtle...

After a while, it was Miss Gou who couldn't stand the constant sidelong glances from others, and she called the driver with a gloomy face to pick her up.

In the end, I didn't buy the jewelry I wanted.

She only remembered this when she got in the car.

He couldn't help but snort in displeasure, which attracted the attention of the bodyguard and the driver who had just opened the car door and sat on the passenger seat.

The driver was a newcomer, in his twenties, surnamed Zhang, with a lively and cheerful personality, but his shortcoming was that he was a little unstable...

At this time, following the direction of sight, Xiao Zhang finally noticed Ye Lang's embarrassment. He exclaimed "Wow" as if he was frightened. He hurriedly took out a large bag of wet wipes from somewhere and asked the bodyguard to wipe it quickly.

Ye Lang glanced at the big bag of tissues that was about to hit his face, but did not take it immediately. Instead, he turned around to look at Gou An.

He looked as if he had just been yelled at and was traumatized, and now he didn't know whether he could respond.

Gou An: “…”

Seeing him accepting everything so submissively, Gou An felt a little relieved, but at the same time, another fire seemed to be burning in his heart. He frowned, snatched the tissue and threw it heavily at him.

Ye Lang caught the wet tissue steadily and began to wipe the unpleasant sweet liquid off his body.

Finally, after struggling for more than ten minutes, I finally gave in and the coat was too ugly to look at...

At a crossroads, he silently took off his coat and placed it neatly on his knees.

From Gou An's perspective, he could see the broad shoulders of the man in the co-pilot's seat as he was wearing a light blue shirt, and his long and thick eyelashes as his eyes slightly drooped when he folded his coat.

"Do you still want to be my bodyguard?" Gou An asked suddenly without warning.

Ye Lang stopped folding clothes, turned around, and looked at her calmly: "I just want to know, why?"

Obviously, when she woke up that morning, she didn't have this terrible attitude. Instead, she was like an overly clingy cat, jumping around beside him and looking very lively...

But after Lu Wan arrived and stuffed her into the closet, everything changed.

She became extremely aggressive.

"I saved you."

"I hate you."

A voice that seemed emotionless at first but actually sounded a little aggrieved, and a decisive female voice sounded at the same time.

Ye Lang fell into the familiar silence almost immediately. After a pause, he seemed to be determined to get an answer and asked again: "Why?"

Gou An, however, curled his lips, as if he was afraid that he hadn't heard clearly, and repeated it patiently: "What reason do you need? You saved me, so what? If you hadn't come that day, I would have still blown that man's head off and then crawled down the water pipe myself."

Ye Lang did not comment on this statement and held a reserved attitude -

After all, that night, although Gou An did climb down the water pipe by herself, she let go of the last two meters of the pipe and fell down...

And she had obviously forgotten about it because of her drunkenness, and was still chattering on and on.

"I am an ungrateful person. I just hate you. Either you get out of here today. If you insist on staying here... I guarantee that similar things will happen again."

She paused and added decisively—

"Countless times."

Ye Lang: “…”

Xiao Zhang, who was driving, had no idea what was going on.

The inexplicably tense atmosphere between the bodyguard and the young lady frightened him so much that he shrank his neck and held the steering wheel tightly, thinking: What's going on? What happened? Why is there a speed limit on this road? How long will it take to get home? Who will save this poor and innocent driver who was accidentally involved in the war?

The car drove into a sparsely populated villa area. Gou An got out first and expressed his unhappiness with a loud bang of the door.

Xiao Zhang, who was sitting in the driver's seat, held the steering wheel and shrank his neck, but Ye Lang, without even blinking an eyelash, got out of the car with an expressionless face.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, Gou An was upset and turned around to scold him as "sticky candy", but found that he ignored her and was staring at the back of her -

Gou An was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw a tall man sitting on her small swing in the yard, who was obviously not suitable for playing on the swing.

Above the head, the words [Friendliness: 35] make people feel that the shrimp dumpling is worth a thousand gold.

He was holding a tabby cat and teasing it.

The tabby cats are wild cats in the community. After the bananas were gone, there was no place for the banana cans and cat food, so they all became cheap for these little guys...

Now probably all the cats in the community know that Gou Anjia is a designated food truck.

The tabby cat was very friendly and courageous. It was in the arms of the coldest man in the world, with its head tilted up and its tail raised, asking him to scratch its chin. The man took off his suit jacket and put it aside, with his sleeves rolled up. In the sunlight, the famous watch worth hundreds of thousands of dollars reflected a cold metallic luster.

He squeezed on the swing, which was a little funny to him and stretched out a finger with his bandaged hand to hook the cat's chin. The cat let out a "wow" and turned over on its belly.

Gou An stood in the yard like a daze for a long time, his mind full of thoughts like "cats are treated better than me". He also thought that this was the second time his image as Mr. He had been subverted after that damn motorcycle jumpsuit.

He doesn’t just ride.

He also plays with cats. At this moment, as if realizing that the owner of the yard has returned, He Jinxing slowly raised his head.

A brief look at each other.

"Uncle."

Gou An greeted the person he had just met at the dinner table three hours ago.

He Jinxing glanced at her, raised his hand and patted the butt of the tabby cat rolling on his knees. The tabby cat turned over nimbly and jumped off his knees.

Perhaps it knew Gou An, so it came over and rubbed Gou An's shoes, then disappeared into the bushes with a "meow".

The man who inexplicably appeared in someone else's yard watched the kitten leave. For some reason, his eyes seemed to be more genuine than his usual fake mask-like approachability.

"I'm here to say thank you." He Jinxing said solemnly.

Gou An: "Hmm?"

"Your father called me this afternoon and told me that An An picked up some food for me at noon because he was afraid that I wouldn't be full."

I don’t know if it was intentional, but he emphasized the pronunciation of the name “An An”.

Then, the smile at the corner of the man's lips became clearer, and he paused deliberately.

"He said it was a way to show respect to the elders and asked me not to think too much about it."

Gou An: “…”

Daddy, you are really my daddy.

Seeing Gou An's embarrassed face, and trying to pretend to be calm and standing there with a wooden face... He Jinxing had no sympathy at all, and even seemed to be ready to send her away in glory, and added -

"I never thought that I would be able to enjoy the peace and quiet of a younger generation before I was even thirty years old."

Gou An: “…………”

Stop it, stop it, please.

His toes started to dig the ground disobediently again, and Gou An responded with "hmmmm and ahhh" and said soullessly, "As long as you're happy."

In the sunlight, the little girl looked completely different from the girl in the ice cream shop, with her ears turning red and her face in a state of panic due to just a few words from others.

A bit like the cat that rolls over...

It was a bit like the way she looked when she first opened her eyes in the morning a few days ago and saw him, before he had time to stuff her into the closet.

Ye Lang thought expressionlessly.

"You can sit next to me at the next family dinner."

“…Isn’t that inappropriate?”

"Really? I thought I could live a stable retirement life in advance, with younger generations to look after me."

“…”

He Jinxing also felt that he had spoken more proactively today.

No.

It should be said that from the moment he walked into this yard, some things went off track.

He really missed the recklessness of his younger days. Ever since he found that the daughter of the Gou family always looked afraid of him, and the more she was like this, the more he wanted to do something to tease her.

It was probably just like watching the kitten turn over on its belly obediently just now.

A subtle sense of relaxation truly crept into my eyes, but that was enough for today.

He Jinxing stood up from the swing and was about to say something polite before leaving, but at this moment he saw another figure standing behind Gou An, who had no presence since a while ago.

"Alan?"

The corners of his lips still maintained the same upward curve from the last second, but the slight smile in his tone and intonation became fainter.

The person whose name was called raised his eyelids and looked back at him emotionlessly, which could be considered as a reply.

He Jinxing seemed to be accustomed to the rudeness of this taciturn man. He looked up and down at his submissive posture standing behind Gou An and understood something.

"I was wondering why Gou Yu was willing to spend so much money to hire you. It turns out that he gave you to his daughter."

It was he who proposed the idea of ​​"hiring a bodyguard for Gou An" to Gou Yu, but he didn't expect that Ye Lang would get the job in the end.

He Jinxing now thinks that he was indeed a bit nosy.

This idea was a great one, but he himself didn't understand the logic behind it, and he didn't intend to delve into it further. After all, it was just a fleeting thought.

But He Jinxing also heard Gou Anjin's impatient roar in the yard just now -

I don't know why, but the relationship between these two people is not very good. Ye Lang's face is enough to charm 90% of girls, but strangely, he can't please Miss Gou.

Thinking of this, He Jinxing's eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep over the suit hanging on Ye Lang's arm... In the sunlight, the white cream on the suit had solidified and was hanging dirty on the dark fabric.

"What's wrong with the coat?" He Jinxing asked in a calm tone.

Ye Lang's eyelids twitched. Just when he was wondering why this person was so annoying, he saw him turn around and ask Gou An behind him, "You did it again?"

"Again?" Ye Lang was a little confused.

At this time, Gou An raised his hand and touched the bridge of his nose. He paused, skipped the question, and said, "Speaking of this, I have asked my father to help clean the suit of my uncle that was soiled before. It should be back now-"

He Jinxing finished her words for her: "And are you planning to send another one for cleaning?"

Gou An immediately got angry: "What are you sending me? Who cares if he lives or dies?"

A word is delivered.

After hearing this, one of the two people smiled again, while the other frowned subconsciously.
