Chapter 85 Chapter 85 Tiger Heart
Qingming Festival is approaching, and Qiao Yuyi called to ask Qiao Zhuoyi to go and pay homage to the elders.
"Wait."
Qiao Zhuoyi sat up from the sofa, and Tan Du got up and followed him, passing the dining table, hiding under the blanket where they were playing with a ball. Behind him, a series of two people and a dog went into the bathroom.
Qiao Zhuo slowly turned his head up and down, left and right, confirming that the marks on his face were mostly gone. He shoved the phone into Tan Du's arms and said, "It depends on your time. I'm fine with anything."
He will be leaving for the tribe next week, and he only has two orders left, so he has plenty of time.
"It's me, Yu Yi," Tan Du replied with a smile, "Did your business trip with Qin Yun go well?
"Yueyue and Lele...
"good……"
Qiao Zhuo glanced at it a few times and thought, if you don't understand, just set a time. How can you extend so many topics?
But the good thing is that Boss Tan has a nice voice, which is pleasing to Boss Qiao's ears. He just treats it as background music and draws on the tablet boredly to the melody.
After hanging up the phone, Tan Du handed him a glass of water and said, "We agreed to go the day after tomorrow."
"Just drink by yourself instead of talking so much." Qiao Zhuo said.
"Hmm? Boss Qiao's self-portrait?" Tan Du asked while looking at the screen.
"Get lost!" Qiao Zhuoyi finally realized that he had accidentally drawn a hedgehog. "Tsk, what are you doing?"
Before he knew it, Tan Du held him in his arms, along with the tablet.
Boss Tan rubbed his chin against his shoulder, scratching Qiao Zhuo's earlobe. He shifted his body and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"This, I want it." Tan Du said.
Qiao Zhuo handed him the tablet.
"That's not it." Tan Du clicked on the screen, "Hedgehog, give me a tattoo."
Qiao Zhuo glanced at him and thought that such a little thing was indeed useful.
His ears were burning. Tan Du always liked to rub his canine teeth against the tattoo on his lower back. If he did the same...
Thinking he had gone too far, he turned his face away and coughed twice.
Tan Du glanced at him with a half-smile, grabbed the water cup and fed him a few sips, his voice low: "Please, Boss Qiao."
"It depends on your performance." Qiao Zhuo said with a hint of meaning.
"I made an appointment for tomorrow, but I have to see our grandpa and mom the day after tomorrow, so I was thinking of changing it to another day." Tan Du's arms felt empty, and he blinked, "Or tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow." Qiao Zhuoyi leaned over the coffee table to draw a picture. After making a few strokes, he came back and slapped him on the head. "Who said 'we' to you?"
Tan Du grabbed his hand and squatted down, asking, "Have you bought the ticket?"
Qiao Zhuoyi stopped and took out the e-ticket from his mobile phone.
"High-speed rail?" Tan Du looked at him.
"Yeah, that's convenient." Qiao Zhuo replied.
Tan Du's mouth corners dropped, and then he was pulled straight up by two hands. Qiao Ci Hedgehog poked him with his chin: "I said, it's convenient!"
"Okay, okay." Tan Du smiled relaxedly, "I'll run you a hot bath."
Qiao Zhuo tapped the back of his hand with his pen: "Go."
Boss Tan was quite conscious and just let the customer go. He continued to sleep in his guest bedroom at night.
The next day, I went into the kitchen as usual. Remembering that someone had specifically told me not to have breakfast last night, I just prepared something for myself.
As soon as Qiao Zhuo woke up naturally, he rode his bike straight to a small restaurant on Xin Street. He ate a lot and slowly, his main purpose was to keep an eye on the barber shop across the street.
The person sitting by the door was none other than the boss of his family, Tan. His hair had just been bleached, and the light color had a unique charm to it.
Boss Qiao took out his cell phone and took several pictures. Then the message from the person opposite also came, which was a few pictures taken in front of the mirror.
Hiss, it’s indeed different from his crappy skills.
The photos of Mr. Tan pay attention to the composition, lighting, and covering the face, inadvertently showing the superior jawline...sexy.
Qiao Zhuo clicked his tongue a few times, clicked save, pretended not to wake up yet, and did not reply.
ATZ: [Ready to color.]
Tan Du sent another photo of a color palette.
ATZ: [These reds all look the same to me. Boss Qiao, please give me some to choose from.]
Tsk, since it concerns the prospective boyfriend's appearance, Boss Qiao naturally woke up, carefully zoomed in and checked, then circled one and replied.
ATZ: [Yes, sir]
【woke up? 】
【Have you had breakfast? 】
[There's a breakfast shop across the street. Can I bring you some?]
【Wontons, buns, noodles?】
Or should I go to TD to get a sandwich?
Qiao Zhuo's hand was numb from the vibration of his phone. He slurped his noodles and laughed. This guy had been sending messages very frequently recently.
Zhou Jue revealed to him that he accidentally heard Tan Du asking someone for advice on how to pursue and coax someone directly.
Seeing the message taking up the entire screen again, Qiao Zhuo sent a 'stop' emoji and called the person who started it: "Tell your child to teach them less nonsense."
Liang Yizi probably just woke up, his voice was hoarse: "You guys chat among yourselves."
"Who's the kid? Who's teaching me nonsense?" Xiao Lan's voice was full of energy as he shouted, "Qiao Hedgehog, stop making random accusations!"
Qiao Zhuo frowned: "Who told you that?"
"What..." Xiao Lan reacted and laughed wildly, "Hedgehog, hedgehog, hedgehog! Who else do I need to tell you? Qiao Hedgehog is famous!"
"Xiao Lan! Take your claws away!"
Liang Yizi's angry growl came from the opposite side, followed by the sound of something heavy falling to the ground with a bang and Xiao Lan's groan of pain.
Qiao Zhuo raised his eyebrows, smiled back rudely, and hung up the phone before Xiao Lan could react.
When he looked up again, half of Tan Du's head was painted, which looked a bit funny.
Qiao Zhuo saw him take a few pictures with his mobile phone, fiddled with them for a while and was obviously not satisfied. He frowned and didn't send them.
Not Xiao Qiao: [Progress]
Not Xiao Qiao: [Report]
ATZ: "The other party is typing..."
When Qiao Zhuo saw him poking and swiping his fingers on the screen, he trembled and asked a question.
The next second, the photo was sent over, and the face was completely blocked by the photo of the blanket.
Qiao Zhuo laughed out loud and replied: [What a crappy photo]
Tan Du honestly sent the message without any obstruction, with a stern expression. Qiao Zhuoyi tapped him on the forehead, rolled his eyes, and set it as the background of their chat.
Boss Tan looks serious but is actually a bit mean. Qiao Zhuoyi secretly drew a Q-version portrait of a smiling tiger for this guy, with the fur specially filled in with fiery red, which looked very cool. Now that he has the chance, he must draw a real-life version.
Estimating that it would be impossible to finish before noon, he looked at it for a while and then got up to go to the old street, and took a look around Boss Xiao Fan's snack shop.
"Brother, what good news did you have today?" Xiao Fan pointed at his face, "It's so red."
"It's hot," Qiao Zhuo raised his eyelids, "Is it not okay?"
Xiao Fan chuckled and stole glances at him several times during the weigh-in.
Qiao Zhuo looked down at his phone and saw Tan Du had posted another selfie. His eyebrows were dyed. He smiled and said as if he had a camera on his head, "What are you looking at? You want to take a picture of me and frame me again?"
"No!" Xiao Fan stood at attention suddenly. "That's not true! I didn't take that photo..."
Confess without being asked.
"No?" Qiao Zhuoyi suppressed a laugh, "Didn't you publicize the fight between me and Tan Du?"
"Ah? W-what?" Xiao Fan's eyes suddenly became busy, rolling back and forth. "What do you mean by holiday? I'm not on holiday. I just took some time to come and check out the store, hehe..."
Qiao Zhuo clicked his tongue.
Xiao Fan lowered his head, counted the bill, and stuffed him with a few more packets of snacks: "Brother, take it."
Dongdong——
Qiao Zhuo knocked his knuckles on the counter twice and said calmly, "Your gambling game..."
"What bet?! There's no bet! Don't talk nonsense, brother! We are positive and optimistic young people!"
Qiao Zhuo stared at him and said, "Shut up."
"Brother, I was wrong..." Xiao Fan clasped his hands together.
Qiao Zhuo curled his lips and said, "I want to be the banker."
"Huh? Eh? Okay, okay, no problem!"
Boss Qiao had teased one person enough, but still felt he was not satisfied, so he walked back slowly.
A while ago, he was like the devil of the old street, and people would automatically make way for him wherever he went. In the past few days, his complexion has improved, and some people are secretly looking at him. He now looks at them one by one, and those who are seen are busy wiping tables and drinking water.
It's quite fun.
I don’t know what everyone’s reaction was when Tan Du passed by.
"An An——" Grandma Xu waved at him with a smile.
"Grandma Xu," Qiao Zhuo walked forward quickly, "Have you had breakfast? Where's Grandpa Guan?"
"Eat, eat. What time is it? He went for a walk!" Grandma Xu took his hand and looked at his face carefully. "Is the injury healed?"
"Okay, don't worry." Qiao Zhuoyi squatted down to check her.
"It's good that he's fine. Oh, it looked really scary a while ago," Grandma Xu glanced at TD, "wasn't it Xiao Tan who beat him up?"
"No!" Qiao Zhuo said helplessly, "How could you believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it!" Grandma Xu said sternly, "But this rumor is getting more and more outrageous! I have to ask you and then help you explain it!"
"Please explain," Qiao Zhuoyi imitated his whisper, "He and I... are fine."
"Really?" Grandma Xu really didn't believe it this time. "You two are good kids. Grandma knows you won't fight. But don't lie to me. You two are close? Do you really think I'm old?"
Qiao Zhuo was at a loss for words, and said with a stern face, "Look, that's how the rumor started."
"Didn't you two always…" Grandma Xu raised her hand and lightly stroked it from her forehead to her chin, "You didn't talk to each other! Last time I asked you to come get the goods, you were watching upstairs until Xiaotan left. Grandma saw it all! And everyone in your store is like this, walking with their hands tucked in…"
The old man stated the facts and presented evidence, and Qiao Zhuoyi felt embarrassed. He coughed lightly and pinched his ear to explain, "At that time, there was indeed something going on, but it's all been dealt with now."
"That's great?" Grandma Xu glanced at him sideways.
Oh, that's not right.
Qiao Zhuoyi said honestly, "It's almost there. I'll tell you when the time comes. Don't be scared."
"Hey, why are you so scared? We're happy when you're all friendly and harmonious!"
"knew."
Qiao Zhuo obeyed and finished chatting with the other person, then turned around and went into TD.
Zhou Jue looked delighted, but Xiao Lu was different. He widened his eyes, stiffened his neck, and said, "Brother Tan isn't here! Boss Qiao, you... you have something to tell me!"
Oh, this is because he is afraid that I will come for revenge.
Qiao Zhuo asked fiercely, "Can you make the decision?"
Xiao Lu took a step back, swallowed, puffed out his chest and said, "Yes, yes."
Qiao Zhuo snorted, raised his hand and clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking.
Zhou Jue was holding back his laughter as he took out three pieces of cake and placed them on a tray.
Qiao Zhuoyi approached Xiao Lu step by step. Xiao Lu stumbled backwards, his back pressed against the bar. He coughed lightly, "Well, Boss Qiao, let's talk it over..."
Qiao Zhuo raised one arm, and Xiao Lu suddenly closed his eyes. There was no expected pain. He opened one eye, and the arm passed over him and grabbed the tray.
Qiao Zhuo raised his eyebrows: "You're blocking me."
"Oh oh oh." Xiao Lu hurriedly took a big step to the side.
As Qiao Zhuo picked up the tray and walked out, Xiao Lu was about to speak to Zhou Jue, but upon seeing him, his body tensed again and he forced a smile: "Qiao, Boss Qiao?"
"Give me some coupons." Qiao Zhuoyi said seriously.
"Hey hey hey, okay!" Xiao Lu grabbed a handful and put it on his tray with both hands.
Qiao Zhuo raised his hand and loosened his fingers: "Take this bag of snacks and eat them."
"Ah? No, no..." Xiao Lu waved his hands hurriedly, like a blanket wagging its tail.
"Take it." Qiao Zhuo's face turned cold.
"Oh, okay, okay, thank you, Boss Qiao."
"No need." Qiao Zhuo couldn't help but chuckle when he saw that his smile was stiff and there was no extra movement, like a stunned groundhog.
After walking out, I didn't rush upstairs. Sure enough, I heard a horrified voice coming from inside: "Did Boss Qiao laugh just now?"
Zhou Jue said angrily: "No, you are dreaming."
Xiao Lu: "So they really didn't fight? Wasn't Brother Tan just being polite that day?"
Qiao Zhuo tutted his words and sent a message to his brother Tan: [Your little Lu is not very smart]
ATZ: [Tiger panic.gif]
【Not my house】
Yes, he is not very smart.
[My boss Joe is smart]
