Chapter 53
As the sun sets, the sky and earth are covered with a veil. The light around is very dim, making the lantern hanging outside the guest inn appear even brighter, giving people a special sense of security in the wilderness.
In just half a month, Zhaocai had gained a lot of weight, but it looked like he had just changed from a small coal ball to a not-so-small coal ball.
Perhaps it was because of the introduction of the guard dog on the game panel, Coal Ball stayed in Shen Yuqing's room except for the first day when it was inevitably uneasy in the new environment. After getting familiar with the environment, it began to patrol around the inn. At night, it just lay at the door of the inn and refused to go in. A small black ball tried hard to guard the entire inn.
For this purpose, Wuming specially built a house for Zhaocai in the yard.
The sound of horse hooves came closer and closer. Zhaocai, who was originally running with a wooden stick in his mouth, suddenly stopped and his two ears stood up silently.
Wuming in the yard also noticed Zhaocai's action. He put the broom in his hand under a big tree and looked at the carriage stopped at the door.
"Sir, you want to stay at the hotel. Please come in."
Wuming had been learning for a long time, but he still couldn't entertain customers with a gentle smile like the shopkeeper, so he had to try his best to appear kind. Fortunately, his delicate appearance washed away some of his murderous aura, so that the aura he occasionally revealed would not scare away the customers.
"......"
Unfortunately, his kindness did not seem to be recognized by the guest. Looking at the guest walking straight behind him, Wuming tilted his head slightly.
Although he was prepared for the meeting, only after they actually met did Lou Qi clearly realize how much attraction the person in front of him had for him. It was like two magnets having a fatal attraction at the same time. He could no longer care about his own things. All Lou Qi could do was to get closer and closer to the other person.
Shen Yuqing smiled as he watched the building approaching him. Their eyes reflected each other's figures, and their chests beat in unison. An emotion that was difficult to describe in words kept fermenting in their hearts. At that moment, they both seemed to be drunk, and their whole bodies felt light and numb.
Lou Qi stretched out his hand almost instantly, and his hand seemed to want to touch the tear mole at the corner of Shen Yuqing's eye, but in the end he restrained himself and turned his hand to stroke the other's shoulder.
"It should be the floating feathers that attract wealth." Shen Yuqing lowered his head slightly and chuckled. He was wearing a white robe today, and the cranes on the hem of his clothes looked lifelike.
Lou Qi did not respond. He looked at the other person stubbornly. His eyes, which had been calm before, now seemed to be flowing with water.
Looking at oneself through one's own eyes was a very novel experience. Shen Yuqing had tried his best to restrain himself and refrained from touching or hugging him. When Lou Qi's hand passed over his shoulder, even though there was a layer of clothing between them, he felt an itch that was hard to ignore.
"I thought I would have to wait a few more days."
"There is a kind-hearted person." Lou Qi said lightly, and his gaze was rarely directed to Yan Yu who had been ignored for a long time.
Yan Yu, who was forced to become an invisible man, did not show any displeasure on his face. After all, the waiter of the inn was also invisible for a while with him.
Although he had known the importance of Manager Shen to the abandoned building through his unremitting efforts along the way, when he really felt the atmosphere between the two of them and saw those usually deep and calm eyes turning up surging waves but being so restrained that he didn't even want to capsize a small boat, Yan Yu was shocked by the significance of Manager Shen to the abandoned building.
Seeing that the other party was finally willing to share a glance with him, Yan Fu took a few steps forward and said, "My name is Yan Fu, and I have heard of the great name of Shopkeeper Shen for a long time."
Shen Yuqing smiled slightly, her eyes flickering with light, "I also want to thank Master Yan for accompanying me, otherwise I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to meet at the end of the month."
Yan Yu sighed slightly in his heart. After Shen Yuqing looked at him, he finally confirmed what he was thinking. No wonder Lou Qi would occasionally stare at his eyes in a daze. He was afraid that only this Shopkeeper Shen could move his heartstrings.
At the same time, some subtle emotions rarely arose in his heart. Compared with the shopkeeper Shen who gave people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze, Yan Yu felt that he was much inferior. After all, he knew clearly that under this hypocritical and kind appearance, there was a twisted and dark lunatic.
"Shopkeeper Shen, you are too polite. Even without me, that Saker Falcon can still lead Lou Qi to find the right path.
Shen Yuqing shook his head when he heard this. "Although Xuetuan remembered the way, the paths taken by flying eagles and humans are different after all. If he hadn't met Master Yan, I'm afraid..."
Before Shen Yuqing finished speaking, Yan Yu already knew what he meant. They both saw helplessness in each other's eyes. It was obvious that Lou Abandoned's sense of direction was really worrying.
Abandonment: Keep a close eye on
Shuangbei: Take your eyes off me.
Qiu Muli: Why not touch it?
Yun Wuque: Cat's Universe Thinking
A spicy aroma wafted into the courtyard from the inn. The voice could be heard even before Li Fuchun arrived.
"Boss, the soup base is ready, we can eat." Li Fuchun came hurriedly from the kitchen and looked at the extra people in the yard, feeling a little confused for a moment.
The autumn wind was blustering. Although it was not as cold as winter, the wind was enough to make people shiver. Therefore, Shen Yuqing decided to have hot pot in the evening, which was also the "Gu Gu Soup" mentioned by Li Fuchun. The two people who happened to arrive at the building were naturally invited to dine as well.
After preparing the dipping sauce according to their preferences, several people took their seats one by one. Lou Qi sat next to Shen Yuqing without thinking. The bottom of the pot was divided into two halves, and the red and white soup bases greatly increased people's appetite.
Yan Yu looked at the dipping sauce in the bowl. Some of the ingredients seemed novel to him. What surprised him even more was that the black marks on his face attracted the inn's attention more often. Instead, they paid more attention to the guest who was obviously close to the shopkeeper.
It was the first time that he felt ignored, which was a strange experience. However, it also made it convenient for him, as it allowed him to observe the other guests in the inn.
