Renting a Shop

The very moment Chen Xing appeared, the originally expressionless man’s lips hooked up a not very obvious arc and when he looked at Chen Xing holding the cat and waved towards them; the corner of his mouth got bigger and bigger, and turned into that gentle and calm man as usual again.

Chen Xing stared at Gu Lang’s face full of smiles, slowly crossed the threshold and walked in, looked at him and asked: “What are you guys doing here? I thought I’d be able to see you guys once I’d finished cooking.” As a result, when he brought the dishes to the dining room, he found that the people who were supposed to be waiting there were nowhere to be seen.

Gu Lang looked at the curiosity in Chen Xing’s eyes, the smile on his face became more and more gentle, and he said softly, “I’m here copying the words you’ll be learning tomorrow. Qiu Jiu just happened to have something he wanted to tell me so he came over.”

Hearing Gu Lang say it like this, Chen Xing seemed not quite understand and nodded but he did not continue to ask, he said directly: “In that case, then let’s go eat ba! It won’t be good if it gets cold.”

Gu Lang carefully pressed what he had just written with a paperweight, then looked at Chen Xing who had been waiting for him, before then he walked with him towards the dining room.

Gu Lang and Chen Xing walked towards the dining room together, he glanced sideways at Xue Qiu who was held in Chen Xing’s arms, looking at the little thing in Chen Xing’s arms, sleeping on all fours, he gradually rising a few points of displeasure in his heart.

Gu Lang was silent for a few seconds, as if inadvertently asked: “This cat, isn’t it becoming fat?”

At first, he was thinking about things, Chen Xing whose thoughts have run far away, then heard Gu Lang’s words, subconsciously turned over the kitten in his arms and then only as an afterthought, he said: “Does not seem to have gained much weight, well, perhaps just grow more fur.”

“Is that so?” Gu Lang was skeptical.

Chen Xing patted the cat’s bum of the kitten in his arms and hesitantly nodded, “It should be! After all, it’s just a little cat right now, still in the stage of growing its body.”

Gu Lang glanced at Xue Qiu, who was sleeping comfortably in his arms, so he nodded noncommittally, then said, “That’s right ah, If it is still growing like this as when it becomes an adult, you have to let him lose weight.”

Chen Xing felt that Gu Lang’s words were a bit strange, but for a moment, he did not know where the problem was. He could only nod along blankly.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s appearance and still couldn’t help but rub his head, he felt that if he ignored the cat in Chen Xing’s arms, such a Chen Xing was also very cute.

Feeling Gu Lang’s intimate gestures, Chen Xing’s face could not help but redden.

Qiu Jiu, who followed behind and was automatically ignored by the two of them, looked at the scene in front of him and couldn’t help but shake his head, feeling that he should stay away from them a little further, or else he always felt that his staying here seemed extraordinarily unnecessary.

Coming to the dining room, unsurprisingly today’s food was still some soft food that was relatively easy to swallow. Ever since Gu Lang’s neck had been injured, Chen Xing had been cooking in this style, so the three people present had all become accustomed to it.

It was only when the three of them started to eat that Chen Xing seemed to remember something, and said with some hesitation towards Gu Lang who was giving himself some food, “I’ve taken stock of the money I’ve earned over this period of time, and I’d like to rent a shop in a few days.”

Hearing this, Gu Lang, without hesitation pinched the shrimp into Chen Xing’s bowl, looking at the hesitant Chen Xing, he said somewhat strangely, “This is a good thing ah! Why, what are you still worrying about?”

Chen Xing did not expect that his small worries were instantly realized by Gu Lang, he hesitated for a moment, but still voiced his concerns, “But the stall I’m renting right now hasn’t expired yet, so I’m afraid I’ll be too busy if I go and make a new shop.”

Gu Lang smiled at his words, he thought the matter was something bigger. He didn’t think it would be such a small thing, he looked at Chen Xing and said softly, “It will be fine, no big deal, you probably only need to hire more people to sell it at both stalls, and you’ll be responsible for watching over it. If you feel not at ease, when the time comes, when you hire people, I will help you to watch over it.”

Chen Xing felt that his proposal was feasible so he nodded his head counted as agreement.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s appearance, gave him another chopstick of baby bok choy, and faintly said, “When you rent the shop, I will also follow you along, so I can also be an adviser for you.”

Chen Xing heard this and originally wanted to refuse, after all, he knew that Gu Lang’s health was not good. Who knew that before he could wait for him to open his mouth, he heard the man in front of him say something first, “For one thing, I’ve spent so many years outside, so maybe I can help you a little. Second, I also want to go outside and take a stroll. Staying in this mansion all day feels like my entire being is a bit tired.”

Chen Xing looked at the man in front of him who was speaking seriously, and swallowed back the words he wanted to refuse, nodding his head, “Well, then we’ll just go together.” He would take Gu Lang along when the times come, perhaps it would also put him in a happier mood.

The two of them made an appointment to go and look at the shop together, and the next thing they did was to eat in peace and quiet, only in the middle of the meal, Chen Xing’s love and care for Gu Lang became more and more obvious.

“Come, eat more of this fish, it’s good for your body.”

Gu Lang looked at the chopsticks of fish in his bowl that Chen Xing gave over, looked at the fish pan-white dead eyes staring at his own, so he hesitated for a moment or nodded, “En.”

Chen Xing was happy, and he also became more energetic.

Qiu Jiu spent the duration of one dinner watching the interaction between his family young master and Chen Xing, doing his best to disguise himself as an invisible man.
