Chapter Seventy-One: A Chance Encounter
He Shuihuai returned home, took a comfortable hot bath, and then fell into his soft and comfortable bed, staring at the snow-white ceiling with stunned eyes.
I didn't come out from time to time to talk nonsense, and suddenly I felt a lot quieter all of a sudden.
Turning over, He Shuihuai touched his mobile phone and clicked on the call log.
Gu Xiaoxi hasn't been in contact with him since he was arrested and taken to sleep last night.
It's not that he didn't try to call, but the other party has been on the phone, obviously pulling him into the blacklist.
It is estimated that Gu Xiaoxi should not have done this, and it is very likely that it was the "eldest patriarch" who he forcibly told him to go to bed early.
He Shuihuai raised his wrist and stared intently at the Pixiu he was carrying. He thought about what Gu Xiaoxi said to him two days ago, did He Zhu disappear because he saved him?
His brow furrowed, and he looked thoughtful.
It's not that he doesn't believe Gu Xiaoxi's words, it's that he feels that this is not something He Zhu can do. Could it be that He Zhu was afraid that he would be drowned in the water and would not be able to find a successor to take over? That's why you saved him?
In addition to this possibility, He Shuihuai really couldn't think of any other reason.
But whatever, no matter what reason He Zhu saved him, he just picked up a life anyway.
In the end, He Shuihuai decided to be heroic and buy 200 gold bars in one go to repay He Zhu for saving his life.
As for when to buy it, let's wait for He Zhuxian to reappear.
Now all he has to do is - sleep!
At the same time, S City, Gujia Villa.
After confirming for the one hundred and first time that Gu Nanfeng, who was sleeping on the side, had really fallen asleep, Gu Xiaoxi bent his waist, carefully lifted the corner of the quilt, and slipped out of bed lightly.
Gu Xiaoxi quietly bent down and took out a small schoolbag from under the bed, which he had prepared for this runaway, "Luggage, it is full of his treasures!"
He put the small schoolbag on his back, and with a pair of white and tender little feet, he walked to the cloakroom where he figured out the room, and began to take off his pajamas and change into the clothes he wore on weekdays.
By the time Gu Xiaoxi came out of the cloakroom, it was already half an hour later.
Before leaving, he still walked to the side of the bed, and while Gu Nanfeng was asleep, he leaned over and kissed the other party's mouth gently.
"Who told you to let me out, huh!" Gu Xiaoxi muttered in a low voice: "I'm going to run away from home now, see where you go to find me!"
He now looks like a little milk cat with teeth and claws in front of a tiger.
After putting down the so-called "cruel words", Gu Xiaoxi tiptoed out, although he brought a glass of water with sleeping pills for Gu Nanfeng to drink before going to bed today, but it was better to be careful.
Out of the room, He Shuihuai gently closed the door with his backhand, and only when he could no longer see anything in the room did he breathe a long sigh of relief.
Gu Xiaoxi was in high spirits and emotional, the first step in the plan to run away from home was carried out so smoothly, "escaping" from the room of the Great Demon King, and the rest were all small cases for Gu Xiaoxi.
What he didn't know was that the moment he got out of bed, Gu Nanfeng had already woken up, but he didn't show it.
So Gu Xiaoxi's every move in the room was carried out under Gu Nanfeng's nose the whole time, just Gu Xiaoxi's careful thoughts, Gu Nanfeng didn't know?
He just saw through it and didn't want to ruin Gu Xiaoxi's interest.
According to the pre-planned route, Gu Xiaoxi went downstairs along the corridor to the first floor, and then sneaked from the side hall to the backyard, climbed onto the big tree next to the courtyard wall, climbed to the courtyard wall through the branches, and finally climbed the wall and climbed out, and he left the Gu family's villa!
Gu Xiaoxi was originally worried that he would be discovered by the security guards on duty at home, but he didn't see anyone along the way. So he was very relaxed and happy, and he climbed the wall and left home.
Until he stood on the grass in the backyard of Gu Mansion, Gu Xiaoxi still had a feeling that he was not real, this was too smooth!
He just came out so easily???
How is it not quite the same as he imagined~
But soon the joy of "successfully running away from home" dispelled the small doubts in Gu Xiaoxi's heart, and now he can finally go to He Shuihuai and meet his companions, he said happily!
So Gu Xiaoxi carried a small schoolbag on his back, took a brisk and joyful step, and gradually walked away.
It wasn't until Gu Xiaoxi's back was about to disappear that Gu Nanfeng walked out of the shadow of the balcony on the second floor.
"Young Master, I have already sent someone to follow the young master according to your instructions." A sturdy man who looked like a bodyguard stood respectfully behind Gu Nanfeng at some point.
"Hmm." Gu Nanfeng stood with his hands in his hands and looked in the direction where Gu Xiaoxi's back disappeared.
In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, he has to be busy with all kinds of entertainment, and he can't find time to accompany Gu Xiaoxi. Since the other party wants to run away from home every day, this time he will fulfill Gu Xiaoxi's wish and let the other party play outside for a few days.
Wait until he is almost busy here, and then go to Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi, who knew nothing about everything, felt that his plan to "run away from home" was perfect, and was still silent in the joy of freedom, just after walking a few steps, he "happened" to meet an empty taxi, so he happily got into the car and reported the destination airport to the driver.
When the plane from S City to Y City flew halfway, Gu Xiaoxi remembered a very urgent and serious matter, and he didn't seem to have told He Shuihuai in advance that he was going to Y City to find him!!
In case he went to Y City, He Shuihuai was not at home, he went somewhere else, and he couldn't find where He Shuihuai was, how could he break it!
Gu Xiaoxi went crazy for a moment, ahh!!h
- This is really the only failure in the whole thing!
******
On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, He Shuihuai got up early in the morning.
Stretching a big lazy waist on the bed, he lifted the quilt and rolled over and got out of bed.
He Shuihuai hummed the New Year's Divine Comedy for the occasion, and ran around the house with a toothbrush in his mouth. He first went to the balcony to see the weather today, it was a sunny day. After that, I went to the kitchen and rummaged through the refrigerator, thinking about what to cook for noon and evening today.
When a person celebrates the New Year, he must also prepare a hearty Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, after all, he can't treat himself badly if he loses himself.
After walking around the house, He Shuihuai already knew in his heart what he needed to buy when he went out to shop today.
So after washing, he changed his clothes, put on a mask, and prepared to go out to buy New Year's goods.
Before going to buy New Year's goods, He Shuihuai decided to go for a hearty breakfast first, after all, only when he was full could he have the strength to carry things.
The community where He Shuihuai lives is a mid-to-high-end community, although it is some distance from the bustling business districts in the city center, but the convenience facilities around the community are readily available.
And not far from the gate of the community, there is a large shopping center, which integrates eating, drinking and playing, which is very lively.
However, He Shuihuai did not plan to go to the shopping mall to buy New Year's goods, compared to the kind of high-end atmosphere and high-grade place, he preferred to go to the vegetable market next to the community, in addition to the fresh dishes, there are many delicious things, the most important thing is cheap.
Although today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, there are still many people who go out to buy vegetables, and the grandparents and aunts in the community carry shopping baskets, in groups, chattering while walking, whose daughter has lost weight since the New Year, and is ready to buy local chicken stew soup to make up for her; Whose son only arrives home in the evening, he must prepare a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for him to return; Who else has a child who is 26 years old this year and hasn't brought the object home yet......
He Shuihuai silently quickened his pace and walked past them, he couldn't remember the last time he heard his parents chatter like this, and the family got together for a reunion dinner.
He kept walking forward with his hands in his pockets, in fact, he had long been used to being alone, listening to those words just now, there was nothing to be sad about! In order to comfort his "wounded little heart", He Shuihuai decided that he would eat a big bowl of wontons this morning, plus a super deluxe version of pancake fruit.
Oh, and he's still drinking a cup of hot and sweet soy milk!
Just thinking about it, He Shuihuai felt that his stomach was already hungry.
Because it is now the peak season for grocery shopping, there are a lot of people in the breakfast shops along the way, He Shuihuai is afraid of being recognized, so he dares to go to those places to join in the fun.
Since he couldn't eat hot wontons for a while, he decided to go to a roadside stall to buy pancakes and fruits to relieve his hungry stomach.
The owner of the pancake stall was an old man in his fifties, wearing a black apron, and he didn't say hello when he saw He Shuihuai passing.
He Shuihuai didn't care, he consciously looked carefully at the menu sign standing on the stall, and hesitated for a few minutes in the two questions of whether to add all the ingredients or whether he wanted meat floss, and then decided to add everything except meat floss.
He was about to speak, when he noticed that the owner of the pancake stand was staring at him vigorously. Touching his nose, He Shuihuai was a little uneasy, what kind of rhythm is this? I'm dressed like this, won't I still be recognized? Could it be that the old man is also his fan, or is it ...... Black Pink ???
Well, although black powder is also powder.
He Shuihuai saw his outfit through the reflection of the glass of the stall, the black mask covered most of his face, the square black-framed glasses hung on the bridge of his nose, the hat with the down jacket on his head, and a dark scarf around his neck.
There's nothing wrong with what he's wearing, and when he went out this morning, he was still in front of the mirror for a long time!
Lin Bai told him that the professionalism of being a star is that he doesn't even know his mother when he goes out to dress up!
He felt that he had mastered the truth and mastered the essence of disguise on the street, and people who did not know him well should recognize him.
Therefore, He Shuihuai was puzzled in front of the pancake stall, which link went wrong?
Could it be that this old man has a special skill to see through disguise?
He Shuihuai fell into deep thought, even aliens he could encounter, this is not impossible......
At this time, the owner of the pancake stall spoke, "Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, old man, I earned one hundred and six yuan this morning." ”
“???”
He Shuihuai looked confused and at a loss, hey, why did you tell me how much money you made? I'm so panicked! Then he heard the next sentence, "New Year's Day, don't rob me, I don't have any money, if you want to rob money, you can go over there and try!" ”
He Shuihuai looked in the direction pointed by the other party, and found that on the sign opposite, there were several glittering big characters - "Huaguo Gold".
“……“
He Shuihuai stood in place messily for a few seconds in the wind, and he was not recognized but was mistaken for a robbery, and his current mood was really complicated and confused.
In the end, he decided to correct the old man's crooked imagination and prove his innocence.
In fact, he wanted to ask this old man if he had ever seen a robber who looked so handsome......
Taking off his mask and hat, He Shuihuai was about to tell Pancake Fruit in righteous words that he really wasn't robbing money, he just wanted to buy a pancake fruit.
As a result, before he could speak, he heard several screams from the side, "Ahhhhhhhh ”
