Chapter 173 Unexpected Visitor
Gu Zheng moved quickly and pulled out a piece of A4 paper from somewhere. He quickly wrote the room number on it, crumpled it into a ball and threw it on the coffee table.
"Let's draw." His words were concise and to the point, even one more word would have been a waste. Having such a group of teammates was truly a blessing for him as a captain.
What’s even more amazing is that this group of people didn’t trust him and kept asking to check the note.
Gu Qi took a deep breath, raised his chin and made a "go ahead" gesture.
After confirmation, the drawing of lots officially begins.
Xie Qingyu got up early today to catch a flight and then attended meetings non-stop. He was a little tired at the moment. Under everyone's scorching gazes, he was the first to draw the note.
When he unfolded it, he couldn't help but chuckle - it was truly providence.
He turned over the piece of paper with the number "3" written on it, and the fate of the three people was settled.
This result made the other people's eyes light up, and the probability of winning increased sharply!
With Xie Qingyu taking the lead, the speed of subsequent draws was significantly accelerated.
Some people cheered, some wailed, and Leo was so excited that he fell directly onto Xie Qingyu's shoulder.
Final allocation results:
Room 1: Gu Yan, Wei Liangchen
Room 2: Ding Zai, You Jinchao
Room 3: Xie Qingyu, Leo, Bai Tang
Gu Yan expressionlessly crumpled the waste paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
Very good, now everyone is 'satisfied'.
He stared at Wei Liangchen who was still shouting about the dark side, and a dangerous arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Wei Liangchen, who was howling vigorously, suddenly felt a chill on his back and shivered for no reason.
It was getting late, and everyone got up and went to the door to get their luggage, ready to pack up and rest.
"Brother, which bed are you sleeping in?" Leo carefully looked at the layout of the room as soon as he entered the room.
The three beds are arranged in an L shape - two are side by side by the window, and one is alone in the opposite corner.
He looked at Xie Qingyu eagerly, and the expression "I want to sleep side by side with my brother" was almost written on his face.
Bai Lang stood quietly at the door with his suitcase, his eyes silently following the back of the person inside.
Xie Qingyu didn't think much about it and pulled the suitcase to the corner bed closest to him: "This one will do."
The happy puppy smile on Leo's face froze instantly.
His brother's choice of a diagonal bed meant... he had to share the row of side-by-side beds with Bai Lang.
Just living with him on a daily basis is torture enough, and now I even have to face the profile of that annoying guy when I sleep?
Sure enough, Bai Lang was already carrying his luggage towards the bed by the door. Leo dejectedly moved to the window seat, secretly vowing to either lie flat or sleep on his left side from now on. He wouldn't even look at the right side!
——
Before the morning light appeared, Xie Qingyu's biological clock had already woken him up on time.
The heavy curtains blocked out the morning light, and the room was still pitch dark.
Bai Lang and Leo were breathing evenly, obviously still sleeping soundly, so he closed his eyes and rested until seven o'clock.
It was really uncomfortable to lie down, so I got up quietly, put on my coat in the dark, and planned to wash up first and then prepare breakfast.
He had checked the refrigerator last night and found all the food in it, including meat, vegetables and frozen foods.
His culinary talent is well known to everyone. With a well-equipped kitchen, making breakfast is a piece of cake. It's as easy as pie.
Even though he moved very quietly, he was still stopped when he passed by Bai Lang's bed.
"Can't sleep?" Bai Lang's voice was still a little hoarse and low, probably because he had just woken up.
Xie Qingyu paused and said, "Would you like to sleep a little longer? I'll go make breakfast." His voice was very soft, after all, Leo puppy was still sleeping soundly.
Bai Lang did not respond to this. He only heard the rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other. He had just turned on the small light in the bathroom when Bai Lang sat up and pulled down his pajamas with his backhand.
Seeing this, Xie Qingyu immediately turned around and fled into the bathroom.
Don’t look at what is indecent, don’t look at what is indecent!
Halfway through brushing my teeth, the bathroom door was pushed open again.
Bai Lang walked in with a messy silver head. He casually pushed the loose hair on his forehead back, revealing his smooth forehead.
"What to eat?" he asked.
Xie Qingyu's mouth was full of foam and it was inconvenient for him to speak, so he started to gesture with his hands: first he drew the shape of a toast, and then made a "0" gesture.
The meaning is clear - toast with fried eggs.
These two things are the easiest to make, and he always gets the temperature of the toast just right.
Cut a few slices of ham, fry them, wrap them with fresh lettuce, and you have a simple sandwich.
When he was in another world, he often made breakfast like this. It was delicious and easy to prepare, and even the dishes were easy to wash.
Bai Lang was squeezing toothpaste onto his toothbrush. Looking in the mirror, she saw him puffing out his cheeks and gesticulating, with a smile almost overflowing from his eyes.
He quickly lowered his eyelashes and replied in a low voice: "Yeah."
After a quick wash, the two of them tiptoed out of the room.
The corridor was already bright, and the morning light poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the entire living room warm.
The doors of the other rooms were still closed, and it was obvious that everyone was still asleep.
Xie Qingyu and Bai Lang walked straight to the kitchen, put on aprons, took out ingredients from the refrigerator, and divided the work tacitly.
It was originally a simple breakfast, and Xie Qingyu could easily handle it by himself. Now with Bai Lang, a helper who did not hold him back, his efficiency doubled.
He even had time to carefully arrange the dish and heat up the milk, and the rich aroma of milk gradually spread.
During this time, Gu Yan and Ding Zai came out once and returned to the room to call for help.
These two are indeed childhood friends, each one sleeps better than the other.
In addition, Ding Zai also had to wake up Leo, the kid he met on the show.
Children are in the growing stage, so it is normal for them to sleep more. We should not be too harsh on them.
While they were calling for help, Xie Qingyu had already cleaned up the kitchen waste and also sorted out the garbage that had accumulated when he cleaned the room last night.
He never likes to procrastinate. If he wants to throw away garbage, he has to act immediately, otherwise he will forget it in a moment. Especially for kitchen waste, it is inevitable that there will be a peculiar smell if it is left for too long in such hot weather.
The garbage bag felt heavy in his hand. Seeing this, Bai Lang took most of it and said, "Let's go together."
The two wandered around the neighborhood for a long time but couldn't find any trace of the trash can.
Xie Qingyu turned around. Were they the only residents in this neighborhood? How come they couldn't even find a place to throw away their trash?
Just as he was hesitating whether to ask the elderly man walking nearby, Bai Lang suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the green belt not far away, saying calmly, "Over there...it looks a bit like it."
Xie Qingyu followed and found that there was an embedded trash can area hidden behind the bushes. It was designed to be extremely concealed, and the opening was cleverly blocked by short trees and shrubs. It could not be found without careful observation.
Bai Lang had already thrown the garbage bag in, and then took the bag from Xie Qingyu's hand. His movements were so natural as if he already knew the location.
Xie Qingyu narrowed his eyes and looked at him suspiciously: "Have you seen it a long time ago?"
Not only did he wander around for a long time, but he just happened to find it when he was about to ask for directions? Isn't this too coincidental?
Bai Lang took out a wet wipe from his pocket and handed it to him. He pursed his lips and whispered, "I was just guessing just now. I wasn't sure, so I wanted to come over and confirm it first."
Xie Qingyu didn't answer, but just stared at him, as if he wanted to see through him.
Bai Lang's eyelashes trembled slightly when he stared at her. The fingers holding the wet wipes curled up unconsciously, and her Adam's apple rolled slightly.
After a while, Xie Qingyu took the wet wipes half-believingly and half-doubtingly.
——I always feel that he is cheating me out of jade, but I can’t figure out what he is trying to do!
The two were about to go back when suddenly, a shadow suddenly jumped out from the bushes and rushed straight towards Xie Qingyu's heels.
Bai Lang was quick-witted and quick-handed. Before he could take a closer look at what it was, he grabbed Xie Qingyu's wrist and pulled her back.
Unexpectedly, the thing was very flexible. It made a sharp turn, bypassed Bai Lang, and directly landed on the surface of Xie Qingyu's shoes.
"Meow~"
Upon closer inspection, I saw that it was a dirty little calico cat, so thin that its ribs were faintly visible. It was obviously a stray cat.
At this moment, it was stepping on Xie Qingyu's snow-white sneakers with its muddy little paws, and its furry head kept rubbing against his trouser legs, calling in a soft voice.
Xie Qingyu's eyes suddenly lit up. He has always had no resistance to small animals.
Just as he was about to squat down, Bai Lang tightened his grip on him and didn't let go: "It's too dirty, there might be fleas."
As if the kitten understood Bai Lang's words, it cried even more aggrievedly, circling around Xie Qingyu's feet with its tail raised high.
Xie Qingyu couldn't bear it any longer, so he hurriedly said "It's okay", then broke free from Bai Yan's hand and squatted down.
Seeing this, Bai Lang immediately moved closer and stared at the little creature vigilantly, fearing that it would suddenly extend its claws.
Fortunately, the cat was extremely docile. When Xie Qingyu picked it up, it not only did not struggle, but also rubbed its head against his fingers and made a satisfied purring sound.
When I held it in my hands, I realized that this little guy was even thinner than I had imagined. He might have just been weaned and I don’t know why he was left alone.
Worried that the mother cat wouldn't be able to find her children when she came back, the two simply sat down on a nearby bench and waited.
The kitten was extremely dirty, the hair on its tail was matted into clumps, and its calico fur was covered in mud and dirt.
At this moment, it was lying on Xie Qingyu's legs with its belly spread out, allowing him to scratch its chin.
Bai Lang frowned and stared at the stains, wanting to say something but stopping himself. But Xie Qingyu didn't care at all. She gently combed the tangled hair with her slender fingers, and her eyes were so gentle that they could melt water.
After waiting for a while, the mother cat didn't show up, but was bombarded with messages from the members who were waiting for them in the villa to go back for dinner.
Xie Qingyu was concentrating on teasing the kitten on his lap and had no hands free to reply.
Seeing this, Bai Lang raised his phone and took a picture of his gentle profile and the kitten lying in a ball of fur on his legs.
After saving the photo, he took a screenshot of the cat part and sent it to the group.
[Liaoaoao (Liao): What a cute little kitty! I love it! Where’s my brother?
The most handsome man in the universe (Wei Liangchen): It’s just a little dirty~
Gu Xiaohua (Gu Yan): Where are you from?
Bai Lang didn't read the subsequent messages, but sent a private message to Gu Qiong, reporting their location.
There is no way to stay in this stalemate right now.
Bai Lang could see that although Xie Qingyu's eyes were full of admiration, he still had some concerns.
He himself was not very fond of this kind of little thing, but since Xie Qingyu liked it, he had to find a way to register this little guy and get a clear path forward first.
