Fu Yun stared at Chen Xixi's eyes and said word by word: "Xixi, don't worry, I lack everything, but I don't lack money, you just pick what you like to eat, don't care about the price." I'd be mad if I only picked the cheapest ones!"

Chen Xixi had a bitter face, but because of his prestige, he reluctantly ordered two moderately priced dishes.

Fu Yundeng was dissatisfied: "Why are they all vegetarian dishes? Only order two, how can the three of us eat enough?"

Chen Xixi weakly argued: "There are still some overnight dishes at home......

"Overnight dishes?" she didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as she said it, she was immediately taught by Fu Yun unceremoniously, "If you eat vegetables, you have to eat fresh, how can you eat overnight dishes? You must know that overnight dishes are easy to breed bacteria, and it is easy to have diarrhea after eating." Your mother is still sick, so she can't eat it! When you go back, remember to throw away all those dishes, you know?"

Chen Xixi was immediately trained to be unable to raise his head.

"Oh, got it......"

In the end, under Fu Yun's "coercion", Chen Xixi finally ordered four dishes and one soup after a long time.

When Fu Yun took out the gold bar to settle the bill, Chen Xixi looked at it directly, feeling distressed.

Seeing her like this, Fu Yun sighed secretly, and couldn't bear to say anything more.

On the way to her house with vegetables, Fu Yun asked about the specific situation of her family.

It turned out that she and her mother were not locals, they used to live in a small town more than 100 miles away from Xishan City, and they made a living by collecting herbs in the nearby mountains and forests and selling them to the town's pharmacy.

But her mother suddenly fell seriously ill more than half a year ago, and asked the town doctor to prescribe several prescriptions to no avail, so she had no choice but to take her mother to Xishan City, the largest city nearby, to seek medical treatment.

However, after looking for several hospitals in the city, the doctor could not find the cause of the disease, so he could only prescribe some nourishing prescriptions to delay the deterioration of the condition. Since most of the medicinal herbs are only sold in Chinese medicine shops in the city, and regular follow-up visits and observation of the condition are required, Chen Xixi sold his family property and rented an old house in the city, so that his mother could live here.

In order to make money to pay for expensive medical expenses and rent, she was instructed by well-wishers to come to the Alchemist Guild to find a position as a counter assistant, and learned alchemy knowledge while working, and passed the alchemist apprenticeship assessment three months ago with her intelligence and hard work.

originally thought that being an assistant to an alchemist could earn more income, but he didn't expect to be targeted by Zhou Ting.

Speaking of this, Chen Xixi looked at Fu Yun worriedly: "Engong, don't go if you are not sure about the assessment in the afternoon, I think clearly, it's a big deal that I don't work in the Alchemist Guild." ”

Fu Yun looked at her and said secretly: With your stunning appearance, you will inevitably be coveted wherever you go.

Today is Zhou Ting, tomorrow may be Wang Ting, and the day after tomorrow may be Li Ting.

"Don't worry, I'm still pretty sure. In fact, even if you don't pass the test, I will place you properly. ”

Chen Xixi frowned and said, "But in this case, you will have an enmity with the Zhou family, their Zhou family's power in the city is very large." ”

Fu Yun smiled: "Even you are not afraid of him Zhou Ting, why am I afraid?"

Chen Xixi shook his head in shame and said, "Actually, I'm afraid that he will die of fear, it's just a little pitiful self-esteem." ”

Seeing her look helpless with her head down, extremely endearing, Fu Yun couldn't hold back for a while, and stepped forward to take her into his arms.

Chen Xixi was shocked, and subconsciously wanted to resist, but suddenly heard a whisper in his ear: "Xixi, don't worry, I will protect you well and never let you be bullied." ”

For a moment, her heart throbbed slightly, and a sour feeling poured into her nose, and a bit of clammy cold couldn't help but flow down her slippery cheeks.

She gently rested her cheek against his chest and tilted her face slightly, looking at his face.

At this time, Fu Yun also happened to lower his head.

The two pairs of eyes were less than ten centimeters apart, and they looked at each other silently.

Fu Yun suddenly felt a little weak, looked at Chen Xixi's delicate face, and hesitated to speak: "Xixi ......"

"Huh?" Chen Xixi's eyes blinked, revealing an inquiring look.

"You...... Aren't you afraid that I'll be like that Zhou Ting and have ulterior motives for you?"

Fu Yun immediately felt the delicate body in his arms tremble slightly, as if he remembered some not-so-wonderful memories.

Chen Xixi lowered his head and buried himself deep in his arms.

"Don't be afraid...... I believe in you!"

The voice was very soft, but it revealed a faint but somewhat persistent firmness.

Fu Yun looked at her in a daze: "You are really simple enough, fortunately I met me, if you meet that kind of PUA man, I don't know what to be deceived into." ”

Chen Xixi poked her head out and blinked her eyes full of curiosity: "What is a PUA man?"

"Uh......" Fu Yun quickly organized the language in his mind, "This is a very evil mysterious organization, the members in it are all men, and what they like to do the most is to deceive the trust of a simple girl like you through various means, and then control your mind and body step by step for their enjoyment." ”

Chen Xixi couldn't help but shrink his neck when he heard it: "It's so terrifying! I can't imagine that the city looks prosperous, but there are so many dangers hidden in the secret, or our town is safer." ”

Did the story overdo it and scare her a little?

Looking at her timid and frightened appearance, Fu Yun secretly blamed himself.

patted her on the back and comforted, "Don't be afraid, with me, I won't let you get hurt!"

Chen Xixi let out an "um", and suddenly stared at Fu Yun with both eyes, seeing that he was inexplicable.

He reached out and touched his face, "What's wrong? Is there anything on my face?"

"Oh, no......" Chen Xixi hesitated, "What did you just say about PUA men, I suddenly feel that your behavior seems to be a little bit similar!"

Fu Yun's forehead suddenly jumped.

You stupid girl, you are stupid when you should be clever, but your brain turns very fast when you shouldn't!

He feigned anger and said: "It's really the world is declining, the people's hearts are not ancient, this good person really can't do it!

Seeing this, Chen Xixi hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I'm sorry I thought too much! Engong, I'm sorry!"

Fu Yun was originally just teasing her, seeing that her eyes were red and tears were about to burst out of her eyes in a hurry, she hurriedly persuaded: "I'm just joking, you don't have to be sorry." Or don't you cry at every turn, I feel so distressed when I look at it. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and gently wiped the tears from her cheeks.

Chen Xixi: "Okay, Engong ......"

Fu Yun interrupted: "Actually, I wanted to say it a long time ago, can you not always call Engong Engong, I also have a name!"

When he spoke, he deliberately straightened his face and pretended to be angry.

However, his acting skills are really not very good, and he was seen through at once.

Chen Xixi couldn't help but laugh "poof" and said, "Okay, okay, then what's your name? It can't really be called 'Lu Ren', right?"

"Of course!" Fu Yun nodded very seriously, "Since you have seen through it, then I can only tell the truth, in fact, my real name is ...... 'Passerby A'!"

"......" Chen Xixi burst into tears and laughed, and glanced at him fiercely.
