After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

Before Xi Zhenghe could answer, Wang Cheng turned around first.

"Hey, Master Zhu!"

Wang Cheng had a smile on his face. He obviously had a good-looking face, but Zhu Can noticed that there were a few unshaved beards on the side of his chin, like some debris piled on a smooth floor, and it was hard not to look at him.

"Master Zhu is finally here."

Wang Cheng left the beautiful doctor he met by chance while strolling out and took the initiative to come to Zhu Can. Compared with those tall and handsome men, a young master like Zhu Can's appearance was more to his liking.

"Mrs. Zhu said you would be here soon, so I came out to greet you."

When he saw Xi Zhenghe waiting for someone on the way, he went over and chatted with him.

"Are you welcoming me... or some other gentleman?"

Zhu Can raised his chin slightly and glanced downwards, which made Wang Cheng's heart burn with excitement. He wanted to carry Zhu Can into the inner room with both hands.

Zhu Can rubbed his fingers and said, "It's very cold today. I want to drink the pear soup from the Diaolu Pear Soup in Qianshan Hutong."

Wang Cheng clapped his hands: "This is not easy to handle, Xiao Zhang..."

Zhu Can stood up straight: "Don't let anyone do it."

Wang Cheng took one look and immediately gave a military salute that was neither Chinese nor Western: "Master Zhu, wait a minute, I'll go buy it right away!"

Wang Cheng left like a gust of wind, leaving only Zhu Can and Xi Zhenghe. Xi Zhenghe was originally waiting for someone in the corridor, and when he met such a random person, he didn't want to pay any attention to him. Who knew that the unlucky guy he met last night would also come right in front of him.

"Here, Doctor Xi, your clothes. Thank you for lending them to me yesterday."

Xi Zhenghe took the cloth bag and nodded, but didn't want to talk. Zhu Canfeng bumped into someone on his way back and seemed more proactive than yesterday.

"Is Doctor Xi waiting for someone too? A friend? A girlfriend?"

"friend."

"have a meal together?"

Xi Zhenghe glanced over, and Zhu Can knew that his question was a foolish one. What was he doing here if he wasn't going to eat? Fortunately, Xi Zhenghe was a polite man, so he answered.

"Waiting for an old friend, I haven't seen him for a long time."

Zhu Can smiled awkwardly, thinking that the other person was quite nice. If he stood there, it would disturb their reminiscing. It seemed that he was no different from Wang Cheng just now, so he began to think about backing out.

"Oh, okay. I won't bother you, Doctor Xi. My shoulder isn't fully healed yet, so I'll go in first."

The young man stepped back as he spoke, and when he turned around, the red bruise on the back of his neck was exposed again.

Xi Zhenghe sighed softly and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to drink that pear soup anymore. The shop is closed at the beginning of every month because the boss has to go back to his hometown to deliver medicine to my mother."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Can turned around and smiled: "I didn't expect that Dr. Xi also loves to eat. Most people don't know when the pear soup shop in the deep alley closes."

Xi Zhenghe's eyes fell on the small flowers embroidered on the edge of the cloth bag: "The boss will come to the hospital to get medicine at the end of the month."

Zhu Can nodded: "No wonder...but it doesn't matter."

The young man took a few steps backward, holding onto the screen in the inner room, and said, "It's worth it if I can get that guy out and have some peace and quiet for a while."

After saying that, he left, leaving Xi Zhenghe standing alone.

Having only seen this young master for two days, there are already two people whose hearts and minds are completely controlled by him.

Xi Zhenghe didn't know what he was thinking. When he saw someone coming in from downstairs and waving at him, he put the cloth bag in his arms, looked up and walked over.

-------------------------------------

There was more than one person surrounding Mrs. Zhu in the inner room.

The president of this trading company, the manager of that store, both young and old, were there, and the smoke in the room was floating together, as if someone had accidentally entered the immortal gate.

Mrs. Zhu sat in the middle and took the half glass of red wine handed to her by a young man.

"Hey, Xiao Zhu is late!" someone said.

"You have to drink two glasses of wine as punishment!"

Zhu Can sighed in his heart, but he looked very polite. He smiled and said a few words, then sat down next to Mrs. Zhu without even touching the wine glass to his lips.

Mrs. Zhu's cheeks were already flushed. She squinted at Zhu Can and said, "Didn't Wang Cheng pick you up?"

Zhu Can inhaled the cigarette smell and drooped his eyelashes: "I went shopping."

Mrs. Zhu smiled knowingly and said, "Don't bother him all the time. I think this young man is a good person."

Zhu Can snorted, thinking, "Why not some good-looking young man? And what about Wang Cheng? Do you prefer his looks or his recent military connections?"

Mrs. Zhu inherited a bit of her family's romantic qualities. Although she is nothing compared to Mr. Zhu, she is still a well-known figure in their interpersonal relationships.

Mrs. Zhu hated her father her entire life, yet she now lives a comfortable life thanks to her father's secret recipe. Her ancestors inherited a recipe for healing injuries and saving lives, which they never passed on to others, always giving it away only after it was prepared. While it was rarely used in normal times, it proved to be extremely useful in times of war.

Mrs. Zhu's dowry also included a pharmacy, and all its products were handled internally. Mr. Zhu managed the external business, while Mrs. Zhu treated the prescriptions as her lifeblood.

It is precisely this precious recipe that Mr. Zhu cannot get no matter how hard he tries to coax him, and no matter how sweet and affectionate you are, Mrs. Zhu will stick to it without wavering.

Fortunately, the two of them can now compete with each other and do their own things, so that Mrs. Zhu can avoid falling into a miserable situation.

Zhu Can did not have such full confidence. His mother was sober and rational, and was very stingy with her love for her son. She knew how to use him to block alcohol since he was a child. When he grew up and could not handle social events, she used Zhu Can as a pawn.

Zhu Can felt that perhaps it was because his face looked a bit like Mr. Zhu that he earned some of his mother's hatred for no reason.

There was talk recently of organizing some charitable donation, and Wang Cheng's newly acquired villa was just the right place. A group of people gathered together, laughing and joking with each other while discussing the progress of the matter.

Zhu Can paused for a while, too annoyed to talk. Not long after, Wang Cheng came back with a bowl of pear soup.

Zhu Can blew away the hot air and took a half sip, then said slowly, "It's not from Qianshan Hutong."

Wang Cheng smiled and said, "I wish you a good taste, young master. I rushed to the place, but they said the boss had gone back to his hometown and was not at home. So I had to buy you a Li Ji's restaurant from Qianmen. It tastes very good."

Zhu Can nodded and didn't want to drink it anymore, so he put the pear soup on the table. Wang Cheng's smile paused, and before he could even breathe, he saw Zhu Can's slender hand and his breath disappeared like a fart.

Zhu Can felt uncomfortable with his hands being stared at, and rolled his eyes at Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng seemed to like this, and the smile on his face deepened.

Zhu Can saw the unshaved beard on his face again.

People like him would be fooled if they didn't taste it themselves. Of all the lies in the world, seven are told by Wang Cheng.

He just said it, and his words sounded so fake that it was obvious. Zhu Can didn't believe that the people present, including Mrs. Zhu, couldn't see Wang Cheng's character. It was just that he was in the limelight now and no one wanted to offend him.

Wang Cheng fixed his gaze on Zhu Can's face again and whispered, "I recently got a new treasure. Master Zhu, do you have time to enjoy it with me?"
