Chapter 141
Cheng Hui didn't know what Aqiu was melancholy about. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't be moved. He would just want to beat him up.
How dare you, a guy who enjoys eating everything, show that expression? How does that make him, who can only watch helplessly, feel?
Aqiu didn't know that because of his eyes, his favorability in Cheng Hui's heart had dropped by five points.
He was worried about how to improve Cheng Hui's favorability.
Past experience told him that Cheng Hui was a complete insulator when it came to feelings. If he didn't say it directly, the other party would always regard the relationship between them as brotherhood. But if he said it directly, if Ah Hui was not interested in him, he would definitely distance himself from him in a minute.
He still remembered that a female fairy had once expressed her affection for Cheng Hui. At that time, he was already struggling with this unexpressible feeling, and was extremely depressed. But then he encountered such a thing.
Although Cheng Hui decisively rejected the fairy at that time and took the initiative to distance himself from her during the subsequent journey, he was not happy at all, because he seemed to see his future self in the fairy.
At that time, he was in a very conflicted mood and asked Ah Hui why he did that. Cheng Hui's answer was: If you don't like each other, don't give the other party any hope. Maintaining such an ambiguous relationship is itself a disrespect to the other party.
Ah Hui mentioned at that time that because of his parents, he didn't have much hope for love. He was even quite inferior in terms of feelings. He seemed to be completely unaware of how charming he was.
You know, he has secretly sent away many people who were targeting Cheng Hui, but even so, there are still people who come up to him and bravely confess their love.
Lin Qingqiu hated this with gnashing teeth, but he didn't dare show it in front of Cheng Hui. He could only silently drive away those timid people, and by the way, he was more determined to nip any possible romantic opportunities around him in the bud.
His Ah Hui likes loyal people, so he will never allow any factors that may cause misunderstandings around him!
"Aqiu?" Cheng Hui felt that Aqiu seemed to be in a daze.
Chef Zhao was looking at him nervously, waiting for him to comment on the dishes.
"Yeah, very good." Aqiu said calmly, not looking distracted at all.
"That's good." Chef Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. They had always thought the young master was a child who didn't know the hardships of life, but they hadn't expected that when things really got tough, the young master would behave just as well as the older one.
The stern look on his face just now made them all feel a little nervous. It was true that a tiger father has a dog son. Even though he usually behaved like a playboy, he was still the master's son after all.
"Okay, let's hang up the plates of these dishes for now and introduce a special dish every day."
After giving the instructions, Aqiu walked around the street for a few more rounds before returning to Liu Mansion.
Cheng Hui asked in confusion: "Why do you still have the energy to go shopping?"
Ah Qiu smiled and said, "If I don't show up, how can I make the Hu family anxious?"
Cheng Hui suddenly realized that the appearance of Aqiu meant that the enemy's plan to silence the witness had failed, and Aqiu was surrounded by a large number of bodyguards. Unless they were confident that they could kill the man under the protection of these bodyguards, they would not easily take action.
"So, we are safe for now?"
Aqiu didn't comment.
He could only infer this based on common sense, but who could guarantee that the other party would actually do this? What if the other party was a lunatic? They could do anything.
All we can say is that the main purpose of his actions is to force the other party to take action.
If they don't move, they won't make mistakes easily. If they don't make mistakes, how can they exploit the opponent's loopholes?
Now that he appeared so carelessly, the other party would definitely wonder why he didn't die at the beginning, and might even go looking for trouble with the killer. It would be even better if they could fight among themselves.
No matter what they did, Lin Qingqiu felt that it would not be a loss if he just took a walk around.
He also bought a hairpin for Liu Qing's mother, some cakes for his father, and for his eldest brother... well, forget about his eldest brother, he is sick now and can't eat many things. Just buy him some big bones to make soup.
Carrying cakes in one hand, two big bones in the other, and a hairpin in his arms, Lin Qingqiu strolled back home.
As soon as he entered the door, he was stopped excitedly by the doorman, Old Li, who pulled him to Mr. Liu's yard.
"You little bastard, you dare to go out after getting into trouble!" Master Liu scolded him angrily.
This kid is so bold. He just caused trouble for the Hu family and was taught a lesson by them, but he didn't learn his lesson and went out to wander around.
"I'm just going out to buy some things." Aqiu said innocently.
After saying that, he diligently took out the hairpin and put it on Liu Mu's head.
Mother Liu couldn't stop smiling, and even Father Liu was bribed by the cakes he brought back, and he couldn't say the words he wanted to scold him.
"I also bought two large bones for my eldest brother and asked Aunt Six in the kitchen to make more bone soup, which is just right for my eldest brother to nourish him."
Whether it was Ah Qiu's tone of voice or his demeanor, he clearly looked like a naive young master who had never experienced the harshness of society. Cheng Hui, watching from the side, was speechless. This truly was an award-winning actor...
After reading it, he felt a little worried again. This time, it was a coincidence that allowed Aqiu to replace him and become Liu Qing, but... he couldn't always trouble Aqiu like this, right?
Next time it's his turn to act, who knows what kind of people he'll meet or what last wishes he'll leave behind. If his disguise isn't good enough and he's exposed, won't there be any danger?
"What are you daydreaming about?"
Hmm? Cheng Hui came to his senses and realized that they had returned to their own courtyard.
While he was in a daze, Aqiu had successfully improved the favorability of his parents and eldest brother. Not only was he not exposed, he even made them feel that their son/little brother had grown up.
"Aqiu, you are behaving so well now, but what will you do when we leave?" Cheng Hui thought of this again.
The better Aqiu performs, the more concerned Liu's parents will be. But when they leave, won't it have the opposite effect?
"Don't worry, I have a way." Aqiu said he could solve it.
Cheng Hui couldn't figure out what to do and could only trust that Aqiu could solve the problem.
In the evening, after Aqiu and his parents had dinner, he sent his bodyguards to rest. He quietly changed his clothes and planned to climb over the backyard wall.
He sneaked to the foot of the wall and was about to reach up when he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned around abruptly and saw a tall figure hiding in the shadow of a big tree.
The two looked at each other silently, and the tall figure slowly walked out from the shadows. It was Zhou Tong.
Aqiu:……???
Didn’t I tell you to go to bed?
"Master, where are you going?" Zhou Tong asked slowly. "It's not safe to go out so late."
Aqiu: ...
"Hey, why didn't you go to bed?" Aqiu asked in a pretentious manner.
Zhou Tong looked at him silently, then looked at the wall silently.
Aqiu: ...
I see. This is because they are guarding the wall to prevent others from climbing in.
Suddenly, he felt a little helpless. It's not good to say that this bodyguard is too dedicated. He guards the house too firmly, and even it is difficult for him, the employer, to leave.
"Well... there shouldn't be any danger tonight. Why don't you go to sleep first?" Aqiu discussed with him.
Zhou Tong shook his head. "If you take money from someone, you have to fulfill your duty. If I neglect my duty, my second uncle will beat me." He paused and emphasized again, "It's really dangerous to go out at night."
Ah Qiu sighed and had to say: "You also know about the matter between our family and the Hu family, right?"
Zhou Tong nodded. Although Wushan Town was prosperous, it was not as big as a city. Moreover, their Liu family's restaurant was almost unable to survive due to the pressure from the Hu family's restaurant. This matter had already spread.
"Look, the Hu family doesn't do things in a proper manner. My eldest brother went to reason with them, and they ended up breaking his legs. And what about me? I just went to pour a few buckets of night incense on them, and they actually came to trouble me and almost took my life. I can't swallow this anger."
Zhou Tong looked at him expressionlessly, thinking, that wasn't just 'that', you poured more than ten buckets of liquid mixed with various dyes into someone's yard. It's said that it's been three days, and people passing by can still smell the odor.
Seeing that Zhou Tong was not making sense at all, Aqiu simply stopped talking: "Anyway, I am the employer, I am the boss, I want to get out." After saying that, he turned around and lay on the wall, trying to climb up the stone on the ground - well, he didn't climb up.
Aqiu: ...
He forgot that he is not the Demon Lord now, but a weak young master. The young master has never done such a thing as climbing a wall, and he has never done it like Lin Qingqiu. He always uses magic directly.
The result was a very embarrassing scene. Aqiu wanted to climb over the wall to get out, but he didn't know how to do it.
He silently turned his gaze to Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong looked at him silently.
Cheng Hui was laughing so hard that he was bent over. When he was not acting, Aqiu always acted so calm and composed, as if nothing could stump him. He didn't expect that an ordinary wall could stump him. He was so amused that he died of laughter.
Aqiu was so upset by Cheng Hui's laughter that his head turned black, but his mood suddenly improved for no reason.
He still remembered that when he was getting along with Cheng Hui in the past, Ah Hui also liked to act dignified at first, like the kind of person from a famous family who was particularly serious. But after getting to know him better, he found that Ah Hui was actually quite mischievous and liked to joke around.
When he is with him, funny things often happen. When he listens to Ah Hui's hearty laughter, his mood will unconsciously become better.
Ah Hui often says that people who love to laugh will never have bad luck.
It's a pity... Ah Hui, a lucky man, met him, a very unlucky man, and was implicated as a result.
Aqiu thought of the old things again, and the corners of his mouth gradually straightened.
"Ahem... Don't be angry, I won't laugh anymore." Cheng Hui pulled Aqiu's sleeve nervously.
He swore that he was not really making fun of Aqiu and he had no ill intentions, he just thought it was funny.
Ah Qiu came back to his senses, his expression softening. "I'm not angry. I just thought of some bad things. Fortunately, they're in the past. I think I should smile more often in the future. People who love to laugh never have bad luck, right?"
"Ah?" Cheng Hui nodded in confusion. Although he didn't know what Aqiu was thinking, he supported his next sentence. People who love to laugh will never have bad luck!
Zhou Tong (confused): ...Why is the young master of the Liu family acting so strangely? He's even talking to a place where no one is around? It's just...my back feels a little cold.
Second uncle is right. It is true that going out more often can broaden your horizons!
