Chapter 98: A plate of cucumbers
In an old manor house north of Bordeaux, a thin old man sits on a sofa, dressed in a gray checkered suit with a striped shirt underneath.
"What's the matter?" he picked up, his voice steady, though old.
"Boss, you let the supreme card you are looking for appear, and the location is in Jinghua City, Huaxia......" A respectful answer came from the phone.
The old man's expression was solemn and he asked, "Is the news confirmed?"
"Sure!"
The old man's hand trembled, and his voice changed slightly: "Okay, I see." ”
Hanging up the phone, the old man raised his head and said, "Andre, book the latest ticket to Huaxia immediately, I want to take Sophie to Jinghua." ”
"Father, Sophie's illness can't stand the long journey, do you want to think about it again?"
"Having Dr. Roland's medical team go with us is our only chance we can't afford to miss!" the old man's words carried an irrefutable majesty.
"Yes, Father!"
Xia Qianxue thought about it for a long time, but she didn't understand the reason for Gu Tingcheng's red and swollen lips, so she returned to the room, pushed open the door, and saw Gu Tingcheng smirking in the mirror.
"Allure, what's wrong with you today?"
"Oh, I'm fine. Gu Qingcheng's face immediately returned to normal.
Xia Qianxue sat down beside her and said with a smile: "If I don't know you, looking at your soulless appearance, I will definitely think that you are in love." ”
Got in love?
Gu Tingcheng chewed this question over and over again, but his heart became more and more calm, and he silently said to himself: "It's love, since you can't control it, then love." ”
Xia Qianxue lay down on the bed and said lazily: "You haven't told me yet, why did you move to my room?"
"My room is for the little monk. ”
Xia Qianxue immediately stood up, and her voice raised an octave, "How can you let him live in your room?
Gu Qingcheng stretched out his hand to hold her, "The downstairs guest room only has a bed board, and he has lived there for more than a month." ”
Xia Qianxue's suspicious gaze turned back and forth on Gu Qingcheng's face, "Why are you suddenly so good to him?"
Gu Tingcheng's mood is very complicated now, on the one hand, she has confirmed her feelings, there are joy and expectations, on the other hand, she doesn't want outsiders to know, she is shy and timid. It's a feeling unique to first love!
"He is helpless in Jinghua, which is quite pitiful. Besides, he was allowed to do all the dirty work at home, and he didn't need to be paid, so he could only live better. ”
"It's that simple?" Xia Qianxue asked, staring at Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng nodded and said, "It's as simple as that!"
As soon as the honest monk closed his eyes, what appeared in front of him was Gu Qingcheng's cold face. It was a meaningful night for him, and the first kiss he had cherished for many years was finally gone, so he lost sleep.
Since he had no sleep, he simply straightened up a carp, got out of bed, picked up the burning stick beside the bed, and walked into the yard. The courtyard is still the same as before, but the honest monk feels that everything is different from before, and even the rockery that he dislikes the most on weekdays is much more pleasing to the eye.
The honest monk walked through the door, took a step, and a set of vertical and horizontal seven swords were unfolded.
……
The stars changed, and the honest monk who was meditating in the bamboo forest opened his eyes suddenly, although he hadn't slept all night, he was still in good spirits. "It's almost time to make breakfast. With thought to himself, he got up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Whoosh"!
A glittering blade flew past his ear and nailed to the kitchen door. The honest monk pulled out the knife with his backhand, and the mirror-like blade of the knife struck people, reflecting his shocked white face. It is undoubtedly a good knife with the Solingen logo engraved on the hilt.
It was a pair of women's hands that sent out this knife, like mutton fat and jade, and the joints of the woman's fingertips turned white because of the force. The honest monk was attracted by these hands, and held them in the palm of his hand in the next second.
"Wife, are you alright?"
Gu Qingcheng was shocked, "No...... It's okay. ”
The honest monk turned his head and was angry, "You are really good, you can't even hold a knife when you cut a cucumber, and you almost killed me!"
Gu Tingcheng's face seemed to be burned red, he lowered his head with shame, and snorted: "I'm sorry, you used to cook, I ...... I want to help you. ”
The honest monk was a little moved, Gu Tingcheng's cooking skills, he had seen it, and at first glance, it was a young lady who did not touch the spring water with ten fingers, and the number of times she went to the kitchen could definitely be counted with a slap. Now he is in the kitchen for him. In addition to being moved, he was still moved!
"I'm in the kitchen. The honest monk couldn't help but say, pulled her out of the kitchen, he drew a line on the ground with his foot, and continued: "In the future, within this line, it will be your forbidden land!"
"Let go of your hands!" Xia Qianxue's angry shout came from upstairs.
The honest monk reluctantly let go, looked up and glared at Xia Qianxue, there was a big light bulb at home, it was really a big trouble.
……
At breakfast, the honest monk put two cucumbers, one between Gu Qingcheng and Xia Qianxue, and one in front of him.
Xia Qianxue frowned and said, "Hey, little monk, how did you make two servings of cucumbers? I'll taste your portion to see if the taste is different." ”
This plate of cucumbers was cut by Gu Tingcheng at the risk of his life, how can I be willing to give it to you. The chopsticks in the honest monk's hand flicked outwards and swung her chopsticks away.
"You eat something else, this can't work!"
Xia Qianxue stood up and said stubbornly: "I have to eat today!"
The honest monk hurriedly held the plate in his arms.
Gu Tingcheng patted his forehead lightly, these two people are really enemies, they can quarrel over a plate of cucumbers! She got up and pressed Xia Qianxue on the dining chair, and said, "Isn't there a plate, why do you have to rob him?"
"That's it!" the honest monk echoed.
"You also shut up for me, what are you going to do by cutting two plates of cucumbers!" Gu Tingcheng didn't know that the cucumbers on the honest monk's plate were the ones she had originally cut into sections.
Xia Qianxue sat down angrily and complained dissatisfiedly: "Allure, why do you always help him speak?"
Gu Qingcheng's heart trembled, and he said casually: "How can I have?"
"If you don't stand with me, you just help him again. ”
Gu Qingcheng sighed and said, "Little monk, you put the plate down." ”
"Good. ”
The word "good" came out, and the honest monk's chopsticks danced like flying, and a plate of cucumbers was stuffed into his stomach, and then he put down the plate with satisfaction.
Xia Qianxue's teeth creaked, and Gu Qingcheng shook his head helplessly.
