Lu Cijiu fell asleep. Gong Xichao was not lost for a second. He immediately became energetic and sat on the sofa with a spirit of study. He took out his mobile phone and wine jug.
Turn the volume down to the lowest setting.
I studied secretly, drinking one glass of wine after another.
He really couldn't get drunk. Gong Xichao suddenly smiled. He was invincible.
The next morning, Lu Cijiu woke up to find Gong Xichao sleeping on the sofa. The hotel sofa was designed to seat two people, and Gong Xichao, at just over 5 feet 4 inches tall, looked uncomfortable squeezed there. A wine glass was placed on the glass coffee table, and a cell phone next to him was black and out of battery.
Lu Cijiu looked at him and wondered if he had spent the whole night practicing his drinking capacity. That wasn't necessarily the case.
"Go to bed and get some sleep, Gong Xichao." Lu Cijiu called softly, glancing at the wine glass. It was still empty. Could it be half full? At least one and a half glasses.
Gong Xichao was half asleep and half awake when he said aggrievedly, "Wife, my head hurts, and my whole body hurts."
Your whole body aches because you squeezed the sofa, you have a headache, why are you still drinking? Although there are many complaints, Lu Cijiu thought about why Gong Xichao was practicing his drinking capacity, and said with amusement and heartache: "Then you still drink. You don't necessarily have to drink - forget it, go to bed and get some sleep."
Helped him to the big bed.
Gong Xichao felt weak all over. He leaned against Lu Cijiu, hugged him and said, "Wife, I love you."
"..." Where on earth did my wife learn this from? Lu Cijiu patted Gong Xichao's cheek and said, "Go to sleep."
Gong Xichao was fast asleep. Lu Cijiu looked at Gong Xichao's sleeping face for a while and thought, why would such a handsome man talk? Why is he such a fool? What a pity.
He took a shower, went to the hotel to have breakfast, and took a walk nearby. When he came back, Gong Xichao was still sleeping.
Lu Bijiu: ...
He simply booked a flight for 7pm and returned home after 9pm. In the afternoon, he wanted to go shopping and buy some gifts and toys for the kids, as well as some pickles and dried seafood from Haishi.
Such as abalone, scallops, fish maw and so on.
At around eleven o'clock, Gong Xichao finally woke up. He held his head and looked at himself lying on the bed, looking around.
"What are you looking at?" Lu Cijiu handed warm water to Gong Xichao, "Wake up, take a shower and go out for dinner."
Gong Xichao took the cup of water and after a few seconds asked, "Is the night over?"
“???”
What does it mean? Lu Cijiu: "It's noon, a night has passed."
Gong Xichao was half asleep. In his dream, he and Lu Cijiu did something, but he didn't react when he woke up. Now awake, he stared at the water cup with regret, "You went to bed too early."
“??? Gong Xichao, don’t mess with me, I’m very hungry now.” Lu Cijiu was originally attentive to serving drunk people, but this guy blamed him for going to bed early. If he didn’t go to bed early, would he have a drinking contest with you?
Gong Xichao followed the flow and said obediently: "...I'll change my clothes and have dinner, honey."
The two of them packed up quickly, returned the hotel room card, had lunch, took a walk, bought many local specialties and toys, and visited the scenic spots in Haishi City before boarding the plane back to Yuncheng.
Gong Xichao arrived home at 9:30, having teleported back from the airport.
The cubs were all asleep. Lu Cijiu took a look at them. He missed them very much after not seeing them for two days, so he put the toys he had bought by the bed so that the cubs could see them when they woke up.
surprise!
Gong Xichao followed closely behind, and said with jealousy, "You didn't even buy me one."
"... Kang Kang, your marshmallow and goldfish balloon are talking." Lu Cijiu turned around and whispered.
Gong Xichao thought about the fact that he had two gifts, and each of the four had only one gift. He felt a little more balanced and said proudly, "Wife, please don't be too partial to me~"
The tone is high.
Lu Cijiu: ...I'll give you a hammer.
Back in the bedroom, Lu Cijiu saw the familiar bright red mermaid fabric on the 180-foot-tall bed. It was very… Then he looked at Gong Xichao, who pretended to be calm and composed, pretending not to understand what he meant, and deliberately said, "You're going to sleep back tonight, right?"
"Aren't you going to sleep?!!!" Gong Xichao was anxious and couldn't keep calm anymore.
Lu Cijiu: "My bed is fine."
"We are already together, why do we have to sleep separately?"
"We are just a couple now and haven't gotten married yet, so how can we sleep together?" After Lu Cijiu said this, he thought about the national situation and was very afraid that Gong Xichao would use Minister Gong's power to do something, such as revising the law on marriage between transsexuals.
So he looked over and changed his tone, "Actually, I'm doing this for your own good. I've always restrained myself when sleeping with you. I have terrible sleeping posture, and you're so handsome. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to control myself and would probably pounce on you and take advantage of you, or do something else. Is that okay?"
Gong Xi's face flushed, and she pretended to be very cool and nonchalant, saying, "We are together now, you can do whatever you want." At the end, she added confidently, "I knew you've been thinking about me for a long time."
Lu Cijiu: ...Are you thinking about how to beat you up?
"Go to sleep." Leng Huohuo didn't want to argue with Gong Xichao. He was becoming more and more childish. It was all because of Gong Xichao!!!
Lu Cijiu took off his coat and put on his pajamas and got on the big bed. The 1.5 meter bed was a bit small. Since they were together, Lu Cijiu didn't act pretentiously or shyly. He corrected his mentality and took his relationship seriously.
However, he had never been in a relationship before, so he didn't know how other couples got along or talked about relationships. He could only do what he wanted, be nicer to Gong Xichao, be more patient, and cultivate the habit of intimacy. As for things like xxoo, Lu Cijiu hadn't thought about it yet and felt that he should wait a little longer.
If the two of them are in the right mood, then it will be a natural thing.
It’s just like this time when we decided to be together.
So Lu Cijiu went to bed without hesitation, while Gong Xichao was still standing beside the bed. Lu Cijiu changed his position and lay down, intending to check his phone before falling asleep, but he saw, "Why don't you come up? Aren't you going to sleep?"
"Sleep." Gong Xichao then went to bed and asked, "Wife, do you want to drink?"
"...No." You should stop drinking from that one glass. Lu Cijiu said, "You have work tomorrow, go to bed early." Then he continued to browse Weibo.
Gong Xichao: ...
After a long while, Lu Cijiu was still playing with his phone. Gong Xichao was indifferent. After listening carefully, he said with a bit of grievance: "I'm here, why are you still looking at your phone?"
"I was wrong." Lu Cijiu reflected, put down his phone, faced Gong Xichao, and said with a smile: "Let me take a look. Brother Gong is here, of course it looks better than the phone. I not only want to see it, but also touch it."
Gong Xichao:!!!
Lu Cijiu died of laughter and reached out to hold Gong Xichao's cheek, the skin under his hand felt a little hot.
It was originally a joke, but the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Gong Xichao looked at Lu Cijiu with burning eyes, then slowly lowered his head. Lu Cijiu raised his face slightly.
Their lips touched lightly.
Gong Xichao's heartbeat quickened. He felt a little embarrassed at first, but he didn't back off. He touched Lu Cijiu's hand on his face and lowered his head to ask, "Can I kiss you again?"
Lu Cijiu's heart beat faster, as if he had returned to his student days, very young and naive.
He didn't answer, but gestured with his face raised.
Gong Xichao lowered his head and gently touched Lu Cijiu's lips. They were soft and warm. It was like a flower in his heart that began to bloom. Lu Cijiu leaned forward, kissed and bit Gong Xichao's lips, and said, "Kiss me."
"Kiss—mm."
Gong Xichao widened his eyes as Lu Cijiu's tongue brushed across his lips.
You can kiss like this!
There was a soft sound of water at the end, and after the kiss, their faces flushed and their eyes were a little hazy. Lu Cijiu was a little embarrassed for the first time. Although he was the one who took the initiative to kiss, he didn't expect Gong Xichao to learn so quickly and finally took the initiative.
"Good night." Lu Cijiu said softly.
Gong Xi's face flushed. She looked at Lu Cijiu's rosy lips, pecked them again, and said happily, "Good night, Lu Jijiu."
The two of them were like elementary school students. In the dark night, after being intimate, they silently recalled their first kiss, their hearts filled with sweetness, and they fell into a dream.
Maybe after really close contact, people become less restrained. Lu Cijiu was the same. He found the source of heat and nestled in Gong Xichao's arms. He also wrapped his arms and legs around Gong Xichao and hugged him tightly.
The next day, when Gong Xichao woke up, he felt his leg stiffen, and the blood rushed to his head. He began to silently chant the Heart Cleansing Mantra - but it was no use. So he leaned back slightly, and the next second, Lu Cijiu woke up, and Gong Xichao immediately closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Don’t find out, don’t find out, Gong Xichao muttered to himself.
Lu Cijiu got up early and was so close to Gong Xichao that his early morning urges started. Feeling embarrassed, he put on a big coat and hurried out to wash up. As soon as he left, Gong Xichao, who was pretending to be asleep on the bed, opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lu Cijiu didn't notice that his thing had started.
The weather was getting colder. It was foggy in the morning, and there was a layer of frost on the grass. After Lu Cijiu washed up, he dug a radish from the backyard. The frost-covered radish was crisp, sweet, and delicious.
In the morning, I cooked casserole porridge and fried meat patties. Cheng came back early from outside, followed by Xiaohong, who was in high spirits, her tail wagging. They greeted me.
Lu Cijiu said: "Have seafood porridge as soon as possible."
"Okay, let's try it." Zhou Cheng washed his face, changed his clothes, and came over to help. He said, "You look very happy. Is Hai City fun?"
Lu Cijiu smiled and said, "It's fun. I bought a lot of scallops, squids, and abalone. Brother Cheng, you can bring some home." Last New Year's Day when he came back, Brother Cheng's aunt made dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut and took out a big box, as well as some saved sauerkraut.
Whether it is fish or something else, it is very delicious.
Zhou Cheng was not polite and agreed. As soon as he saw Lu Bijiu, he was in a good mood and hummed a song while cooking with a smile on his face.
"What happened between you and Gong Xichao in Hai City?"
Lu Cijiu said happily and frankly: "Did you see? We are together."
"Congratulations." Zhou Cheng was not surprised and said, "I thought it would be later. You look very straight."
It looks straight but is actually curved.
Lu Cijiu made up his mind that his grandmother would die when the eldest brother Hao Dongyang got married. Gong Xichao saw it, but did not say anything out of consideration for his own feelings. He also mentioned these two things because he envied Sang Jinghong for being rich and she sold antiques behind his back.
“…we’re together.”
"Those involved are often confused." Zhou Cheng said, "When we were drinking and chatting before, you seemed to have a different attitude towards Gong Xichao."
"Really?" Lu Cijiu thought about it. He had a fatherly attitude towards Gong Xichao at that time. It wasn't that early, right?
Zhou Cheng said, "You and Gong Xichao were quite lively and casual when they were together. There was no fixed pattern to dating. You were comfortable and happy together. At that time, you were quite protective of Gong Xichao."
Lu Cijiu recalled it and realized that it was true.
Soon the cubs' cheers were heard. Wearing small slippers and home clothes, the little dinosaur, the little cow, the little cat, and Tigger ran to the yard, holding gifts in their arms: Dudu's Barbie doll, Dalong's dinosaur toy, Ai Mei's tail mirror, and the inactive cat's car.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp, I'm back.", "I miss you."
Lu Cijiu opened the curtain, and the four short and stout children all threw themselves into his arms.
"I miss you guys too." Lu Cijiu rubbed everyone's face and said, "Wash up and have breakfast."
Tail jumped up and down, holding a small mirror in his hand and said, "Thank you for the gift, Jiujiu. I'm so happy."
"You're welcome." Lu Cijiu touched four more of them.
When Lu Cijiu returned, the cubs were incredibly happy. They drank an extra bowl of breakfast, played with their gifts, and surrounded Jiujiu. Lu Cijiu's heart softened, and with a wave of his hand, he went to the backyard to loosen the soil in the vegetable garden.
Mainly play!
The pork ribs and carrot soup were stewed on the stove and put into the thermos. Gong Xichao went to work, and Lu Cijiu said, "You can eat lunch in the cafeteria. There's a lot of soup here. Share it with your colleagues."
"No." Gong Xichao rejected it willfully, and said happily, "I'm leaving now, can I have a kiss?"
Lu Cijiu saw that there was no one in the kitchen and said, "Dear dear, dear."
The two of them clinked hands. They happily went to work and lived their lives.
A few days later, the two turned into woodpeckers and kissed each other whenever they had nothing to do. One day, Lu Cijiu found Sang Jinghong and asked him what procedures were required to build an amusement park. He wanted to build a large amusement park here.
Sang Jinghong: "You want to do it yourself?"
"No, I'll just invest. I don't know how to manage. Is there anyone who can manage the investment for me?"
Sang Jinghong's proposal was to invest in a branded amusement park with dedicated management. Lu Cijiu wanted to create a local theme park, Shanhai. Sang Jinghong offered a few general ideas, and Lu Cijiu thought of Ai Lin, the designer of Shanhai Kindergarten, and suggested asking Mr. Wu about this.
There is no need to rush to build the amusement park. It is difficult to start construction in the cold winter. Let's ask someone first.
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Lu Cijiu called Wu Gao, as Mr. Wu also had something to talk to him about.
"It's like this. I developed a hot spring resort villa and officially opened it in December last year. Everything was going well, but recently there were rumors that it was haunted and people saw ghosts." Wu Gao had a headache.
"This happened a while ago, but the people below didn't take it seriously for the sake of performance, so I didn't know about it. I only heard about it yesterday from an old acquaintance. We're quite close. He was a regular customer after the opening and he often visited. I met him recently, and he said he brought his wife and daughter with him, and his daughter got frightened..."
Wu Gao told everything he knew on the phone.
Lu Cijiu, also a VIP customer, immediately agreed to go and take a look. Wu Gao said on the phone, "It just so happens that it's almost the end of the year. I've been extremely busy and have neglected Sansheng during this period. I'll get together with Sansheng and take care of things. Then we can go on vacation and soak in the hot springs."
There was a hot spring pool in the yard, and Lu Cijiu wanted to say no, but then he thought of Gong Xichao. With so many people at home, including the kids, taking a bath was a joyous family gathering, leaving little time for just the two of them.
"Okay." Lu Cijiu agreed.
Wu Gao on the other side said enthusiastically that if Master Lu has any friends, he should bring them along, it will be more lively with more people.
Originally, they were supposed to solve a haunted incident, but Wu Gao had suggested it was more like an outing. Lu Cijiu packed up his gear and asked Cheng and Mr. Sang if they wanted to join the courtyard team building!
Zhou Cheng was unemployed and had been preparing for his professional exams for a long time. He hadn't relaxed for a long time, so he agreed when he heard that the plan was cancelled. The same thing happened to Sang Jinghong.
The kids were the happiest. When they heard they were going out to play, they packed their little backpacks and toys.
Gong Xichao was the boss of the special department and had taken his own leave. Early the next morning, Sang Jinghong's car arrived and everyone split into two cars and drove to the hot spring resort.
This village is located in a county under the jurisdiction of Yuncheng. It is a natural hot spring village. One of the earliest emperors in history built a hot spring village here. The Wu family's hot spring village is built in the mountains. It is very grand, with antique buildings, good greenery, indoor and outdoor facilities, and a single-family courtyard.
It’s more spacious than the hot spring pool at home.
After entering, Wu Gao and his son had already arrived.
"Sorry, there are too many of us," Lu Cijiu said embarrassedly. This time, there's a discount on the ghost hunting project.
Wu Quan didn't expect Mr. Sang to come over, so he said enthusiastically, "It's more lively with more people. It's our own manor, so you're welcome."
Arrange for everyone to stay first, there is no rush to catch ghosts.
Lu Bijiu: ...
I always feel like I'm just here to have fun, so it doesn't matter if it's a ghost or not.
"No one was hurt. It was just a ghost that scared the guests. The matter hasn't gotten out of hand yet." Wu Gao explained.
They had a large courtyard and a two-story villa with a pool both indoors and outdoors. Lu Cijiu and the children lived on the first floor, while Zhou Cheng and Sang Jinghong occupied the second floor.
As for the little black cat and Hu Sanniang, they are both virtual entities and don’t take up any space. They can just find a corner to nest in.
After settling in, the kids donned their down robes and began to work with high morale. Lu Cijiu: ...Let's go catch ghosts.
Wu Gao accompanied him and called the person in charge here out to talk.
"About two weeks ago, a little boy saw something and said there was a dark shadow under the tree looking at him and waving for him to come over. The boy's mother noticed it and said there was nothing under the tree. She immediately took the child back to the house and called customer service to ask us to check the tree to see if there was anything there."
Of course, the manager found nothing later.
The incident was minor and no one was injured. It was later dismissed as a case of the child's eye problems.
"The second time was with an employee, a woman who cleans the outdoor pool. It was also at night, around 10 o'clock. After she finished cleaning the pool, she saw a figure under a tree, waving at her. She went over and there was no one there. There was a stack of money under the lawn, and the woman picked it up. She came home that day and had a fever and a cold, so she asked for leave the next day and didn't come to work."
The manager didn't dare hide it in front of the big boss, but he also wanted to explain a little. He said, "We have an employee handbook that requires you to turn in anything you find in the park. This woman found some money, but she didn't dare say it turned into ghost money the next day. So she didn't tell anyone until a customer saw the dirty stuff again."
The third time was with Wu Gao’s old friend. It was a cold winter day, so he brought his wife and daughter to the pool for vacation. It was also at night, and his daughter disappeared. When they found her, they discovered that she was sitting under a tree and talking to the air. The old friend’s wife was so scared that she immediately carried the child into the room.
That night the little girl had a fever. There was a doctor in the park, but the old friend didn't believe it and took his wife and daughter back to the city overnight.
The park is aware of three incidents in total, but it is unknown whether other guests saw something amiss and didn't take it seriously, or perhaps harbored concerns and left for safety reasons.
“Where were they found?”
The manager mentioned three locations, but they weren't fixed yet.
"Master Lu, before the manor was built, I specially invited a master to chant sutras. This place is very clean. Even the layout was checked by a feng shui master. There is absolutely no problem." Wu Gao said.
"The master you hired was right. This place is prosperous and attracts wealth, and it's also full of spiritual energy. It's a place that complements each other and circulates to become increasingly better." Lu Cijiu knew Wu Gao was worried about the feng shui. This place is so large and has a lot of investment. If there is any problem, it will have to be corrected. After comforting him, he said, "The manor is too large. I haven't sensed any foul energy yet."
When they arrived at the place, Black Cat and Hu Sanniang disappeared.
Since we are here for vacation, of course we should take the two cats for fun instead of bringing the children.
It can be seen that the air here is good, which is conducive to cultivation.
Unable to find it for a while, Lu Cijiu decided to take a tour bus to look around. Everyone got on the battery sightseeing bus and started to walk along the path. The kids were out in the air, not afraid of the cold. As they walked, there were birds scattered on the lawn.
When they saw them, the birds were not afraid of people. They flew to the edge and nodded at the electric cars.
Lu Cijiu knew that this was Dudu's show. Wu Gao and his son were unaware and exclaimed, "Master Lu is truly a master. Even a little bird must show its respect."
"..." Lu Cijiu replied, "The place chosen by General Gao is good. The birds are all very smart."
Everyone praised each other and walked around the manor, not seeing anything dirty. Just at noon, Wu Gao and his son gave a banquet.
Anyway, the ghost hasn’t seen the shadow yet, so let’s arrange food and drink first.
Lu Cijiu: There’s nothing I can do.
The manor emphasizes health preservation, and the vegetarian dishes are particularly delicious. I heard from Wu Gao that he specially spent a lot of money to pay incense money to a famous temple to obtain the vegetarian recipes.
Tofu soup and bean sprouts and seasonal vegetables are best eaten cold.
We used to eat a lot of meat at home, so now that we're all vegetarian, I feel like I've cleansed my soul and my stomach feels a lot easier. After dinner, we all went back to the villa to rest and take a nap, and then make our own arrangements.
Finally it was night and dark.
The kids were excitedly carrying their little backpacks to catch ghosts. Gong Xichao looked at them and his face turned pale.
Mr. Gong's expression today was like this: he was excited before going out → when he arrived many people were indifferent → continued to be indifferent → finally returned to the room for a happy nap → wanted to be romantic with his wife at night but was devastated when he saw the kids!
Lu Cijiu understood what was going on and said, "Let's catch the ghost first. Business is more important."
"Yes, uncle. If you don't want to go, you can take a rest. We have to work." Dalong's sense of responsibility came online.
Uncle Gong only wanted to catch ghosts with Lu Jiujiu, and didn't want to bring four of them! Lu Cijiu looked at Gong Xichao's indifferent face, reached out and grabbed Gong Xichao's hand, and said naturally, "Let's go, let's go."
"OK!"
The kids held hands and jumped in front to lead the way. It has been a long time since they have been working as children!
Lu Cijiu and Gong Xichao walked behind. Gong Xichao had originally been cold and grumpy, but now, staring at the two people's clasped hands, the coldness dissipated, and he couldn't help but say proudly, "Catching ghosts is pretty good."
"Take the kids for a walk to help them digest their food, and then send them back to sleep at 8 o'clock, and then we'll take action." Lu Cijiu said in a low voice.
Gong Xichao suddenly:!!!
"A world for two." Lu Cijiu added tacitly, and hushed.
Gong Xichao couldn't help but smile, and said arrogantly, "I knew I was more important to you than those four kids! You can't resist my charm."
“…” Lu Cijiu looked at Gong who was adding drama to himself, and thought, forget it, just be happy.
