Chapter 269 You're Playing Me



The atmosphere at the Divine Calculation Hall instantly became enthusiastic.

The elderly men and women put down their bowls, stopped eating, and crowded around.

"Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!!"

Ji Heng chimed in, "Master, give me a kiss... um, no, what is it?"

He covered his mouth and quietly hid in a corner, lest the big boss get angry and accidentally hurt him.

Enjoying melons is nice, but staying alive is the priority.

Qian Fugui, without any scruples, stood on the chair, tiptoed, and pricked up his ears.

Standing high allows you to see far and hear clearly.

This is a rare glimpse into gossip that you shouldn't miss.

Countless gazes fell upon him, and Lin Xi was speechless. "Shut up, everyone! No jeers allowed!"

The elderly men and women immediately shut their mouths, their eyes still shining. What to do now?

Aunt He had anticipated this situation, and she used reverse psychology, "Master, what's wrong with a real husband and wife kissing? Haven't you ever kissed? No way, no way."

The method is old-fashioned, but it works well.

Lin Xi blurted out, "Of course we've kissed."

"Wow wow!!"

One sentence ignited the atmosphere, and the elderly people shouted even more enthusiastically, "Kiss! Kiss!!"

Lin Xi was utterly exasperated. "A bunch of old clowns."

She suddenly remembered her promise: eight more kisses. Should she kiss here for the third one?

No, no, no, the previous two kisses were unforgettable. If it's a real kiss, don't even think about fortune telling this afternoon.

Fu Jingyao walked up to her without her noticing and softly called out, "Xixi..."

He was standing, she was sitting, and the height difference between them was huge. Lin Xi looked up, her tone slightly urgent.

"Wait, don't listen to them."

"Don't be afraid, Xixi, it will be over soon."

The man placed his hands on the back of the chair, encircling her in his arms, and the familiar scent of sandalwood filled her nostrils.

Lin Xi's whole body was tense.

Having learned from her previous two experiences, she understood that she couldn't trust men's words in this matter; once they kissed, it wouldn't be so easy to let go.

Lin Xi lowered her head, not daring to look directly at the person beside her, "You really kissed me?!"

Before he could finish speaking, a warm, wet kiss landed on his forehead, and they parted in an instant.

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah!!"

The elderly men and women transformed into screaming frogs, constantly letting out exclamations of surprise.

I just gave her a light kiss on the forehead, but it felt so sweet, sweeter than eating a pound of sugar.

The dog is full from eating dog food and can't eat rice.

It's okay, you can eat every day, but the master's dog food is only for one day, so you must eat your fill.

In the corner, Ji Heng held his phone high and took ten photos in a very contorted pose.

He took his phone back and looked at it; every photo was incredibly beautiful.

The boss and brother are both incredibly good-looking; even a casual snapshot of them looks great.

These photos are worth 100,000 each, or 1 million for ten.

We're rich! Ha, ha, ha!

Ji Heng was overjoyed, as were the elderly folks, their smiles stretching from ear to ear, completely unable to contain their delight.

The noisy wailing sound reached Lin Xi's ears. She was stunned for three seconds before finally coming back to her senses.

I thought Fu Jingyao was really going to kiss me, but it turned out he just touched my forehead.

Lin Xi glared at her. "You're kidding me."

Fu Jingyao smiled slightly, his fingertip brushing against the corner of her lips. "Xixi doesn't like being kissed on the forehead. Do you want to be kissed here, or... somewhere else?"

"That's not what I meant." Lin Xi dodged the warm fingers, her cheeks slightly flushed.

She avoided eye contact. "It's getting late. You should go back to work."

Fu Jingyao calmly replied, "Yes, I know. We'll kiss when we get home."

Lin Xi gave up trying to explain; that wasn't what she meant!

Forget it, the more I explain, the more confused it gets.

"Yo yo yo, come home, dear~ We understand~ We all understand~~~ Hee hee hee..."

The elderly folks were doubled over with laughter, unable to stop, their croaking turning into goose-like calls.

Lin Xi waved her hand, "You all go too, and don't laugh anymore."

The elderly men and women obediently listened, using all their strength to suppress their laughter, and hopped back to their positions.

I'm happy to have heard about the master's gossip today.

Lin Xi sighed, "Take it easy, don't strain your backs, or things will get complicated later."

"Don't worry, Master, we're doing great. We're always number one in egg-grabbing; no one can beat us."

"Young people these days aren't as energetic as we are. They're so lifeless all the time, I don't even know where they are."

"Oh dear, that pale face, those huge dark circles under her eyes, those skinny arms and legs, she looks like she could be blown over by the wind."

Lin Xi was both amused and exasperated.

The elderly people who frequently come to Shensuantang to eat melons all have retirement pensions, some even earning 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month.

No need to work, and you receive money regularly every month, of course you're happy.

Lin Xi felt a pang of envy for a moment, but after finishing the bird's nest soup in her bowl, she suddenly stopped feeling envious.

Because her husband is richer.

After finishing his meal, Fu Jingyao packed up his lunchbox. "Xixi, I'm leaving now. See you tonight."

"Bye-bye." Lin Xi suddenly remembered something. "Wait a minute."

Fu Jingyao gave a half-smile, "What's wrong?"

Lin Xi bit her lower lip and held up three fingers. Did that kiss on the forehead count as the third time?

Fu Jingyao's lips curled up, and he stared at her for a full ten seconds.

Lin Xi bent three fingers.

If it doesn't count, I'll give you a good whack on the head when we get home.

Fu Jingyao understood what she meant, and smiled, "Fine."

Xi Xi, I'll let you off this time.

He needs to plan the remaining seven times carefully.

The man left, and Lin Xi leaned back in her chair to rest.

Thanks to the elderly folks for their encouragement, I finally managed to fool them once.

The remaining seven times passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Xi took a breath. "Ji Heng, begin the divination."

"Okay." Ji Heng took out his phone, unable to hide his joy, and accidentally laughed out loud, "Hehe."
