When Ji Xiao returned to Gu's house with Brother Cat in his arms, the sunset in the sky had already revealed a shimmer of orange red, like a salted egg yolk, so beautiful that it made one's stomach tremble.

"Gudu."

Brother Mao was sleeping soundly on Ji Xiao's broad arms, his stomach wriggled, turned over comfortably, and continued to sleep.

Ji Xiao rubbed it in relief, looking at the courtyard in front of him, a soft light appeared in his eyes, "It's almost there, let's go eat."

Since he came out of the abandoned factory, his expression has been gloomy and his eyes have been dim. Thinking about what happened recently, he always feels that there is some huge conspiracy shrouded in various time and space, and someone has slowly exposed its fangs in the dark. Get ready to go and eat the light.

Don't make Gu Yunyi worry, this is not something he should worry about——

Thinking of this, Ji Xiao immediately put on a dull and lazy expression, quickened his pace, and soon stopped in front of Gu's house, and pressed the doorbell.

Gu Yunyi came out of the room with a look of eagerness and anticipation. The moment he saw Ji Xiao, his eyes lit up, "Where did you go! I was looking for you while I was looking for the cat. Can you not let people worry?"

The wooden fence in front of the courtyard blocked Brother Cat in Ji Xiao's arms, making Gu Yunyi mistakenly judged that Ji Xiao was just going out for fun.

Ji Xiao didn't mind. Hearing the reproach and worry in Gu Yunyi's tone, some warmth surged from the bottom of his heart. He raised Brother Cat over his head, and began to claim credit with smiling eyes: "The cat and I have both gone home."

Gu Yunyi's hand that opened the door for Ji Xiao paused suddenly, seeing that the phoenix pendant on Brother Mao's paw was still there, he quickly took it back while it was sleeping, and let out a long sigh of relief.Taking Brother Cat from Ji Xiao's hand, his expression eased a lot, and he asked suspiciously, "Where did you find it? I have reported it to the police, and the police have no news."

Ji Xiao shrugged indifferently, watching Gu Yunyi send the sleeping cat brother to the cat litter, then poured a whole bowl of cat food for it, sniffed, and said, "I just happened to see it when I went out for a stroll. Just picked it up."

Gu Yunyi heard the perfunctory in Ji Xiao's words, he and Gu Bai searched for a place where Brother Cat would go in the afternoon, but they couldn't find it, and even the police didn't hear from him.

After thinking about it, he saw a new wound on Ji Xiao's arm in a blink of an eye. He was silent for a while, and asked the bottom line: "Where did you find it? I have been to every possible place I could go back to."

Ji Xiao looked at his arm following Gu Yunyi's line of sight, and wiped the wound quickly, "It's scratching, I don't remember when I touched it. But if I said that I almost My life is gone. Brother, how are you going to thank me? Will you promise me with your body?"

Knowing that Ji Xiao didn't mean to tell the truth, Gu Yunyi didn't press him any further, and didn't bother to accept his slapstick words. He entered the house, and said in a neutral tone, "I can give you the cat's body. Enter the house and disinfect it for you. Then we go out It’s getting dark to eat, and Gu Bai is also hungry.”

Ji Xiao followed Gu Yunyi, enjoying Gu Yunyi's service for him. After the wound was treated, a little bit of obedience flashed in his eyes, and he moved closer to Gu Yunyi, blinking his bright eyes, "Didn't brother say that I am a nanny? The nanny's Work should include cooking. I'll make dinner today."

Gu Yunyi turned his head slightly, looked at Ji Xiao distrustfully, withdrew his gaze, and said lightly: "Go out and eat, I'll treat you. I want to eat something that can fit in my mouth today, and if you get mad at me, I will lose my life." .”

Ji Xiao didn't care about Gu Yunyi's indifference, and his voice was flat: "You shouldn't lose your life, but you can't say if you will be moved after eating my food."

"....." Gu Yunyi wanted to refuse, but looking out of the window, God seemed to agree with Ji Xiao, the sunset was all over the sky one second ago, and the sky was dark and low in the next second, with the potential of rainstorm, it is really not suitable to go out , had to sigh, and said in a compromise: "You do it well. If it doesn't work, we'll order takeaway."

"Okay!" Ji Xiao turned his elbow, put on a posture of doing a big job, followed the direction of Gu Yunyi's finger, and walked towards the kitchen without saying a word.

Gu Bai probably heard the movement, and walked out of the room in a desperate manner. After confirming that Brother Mao had returned home safely, the expression on his face turned relaxed. He glanced at the kitchen, rested his hand on his chin, and calmly analyzed, "Xiao Uncle, don't you think Brother Ji Xiao is a bit strange."

"What's so strange?" Gu Yunyi didn't raise his eyebrows, thinking that a 16-year-old boy fell from the sky for no reason, wouldn't it be strange.

Gu Bai sat very close to Gu Yunyi, raised his legs and looked like a detective, "As the saying goes, if you want to keep a man's heart, you have to keep a man's stomach. From this point of view, Ji Brother Xiao is a scheming boy."

Gu Yunyi's expression darkened, and he asked Gu Bai seriously, "Am I being too negligent to you?"

Gu Bai was taken aback for a moment, his head shook like a rattle, he entered the room without looking back, and did not appear in the dining hall until dinner started.

"Braised chicken in oil, rich blood, and roasted pork with bamboo shoots. These dishes are my uncle's favorite." When Gu Bai saw a table of big dishes, his eyes lit up, and his chopsticks were held in the air, waiting to be started.

Gu Yunyi looked at the five dishes on the table, stared at Ji Xiao meaningfully, and asked tentatively, "Why do you cook these dishes?"

The five dishes and one soup on the table are all Gu Yunyi's favorite dishes, and one dish is not bad, and he even knows that he doesn't like green onions.

Unknown, Ji Xiao tilted his head and looked at Gu Yunyi, with a childish expression, "Really? I like these, it seems that my brother and I are very suitable."

"Uncle, what is suitable?" Gu Bai asked Gu Yunyi innocently, which seemed to touch his blind spot of knowledge.

Gu Yunyi looked sideways at Gu Bai who was sitting next to him, tested whether Gu Bai had betrayed him beforehand, and told Ji Xiao his favorite dishes.

Gu Bai raised his hand and made a swearing expression, picked a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, muttering, "It's really suitable, brother Ji Xiao even mastered the spiciness just right."

"It's just a heart-to-heart connection." Ji Xiao put vegetables in Gu Bai and Gu Yunyi's bowls with a cheerful expression, with a calm and composed expression.

Gu Yunyi remained skeptical, tasted Kou Jixiao's dishes suspiciously, raised his eyebrows almost invisible, and couldn't help but answer, "That's right. You are very suitable to be our nanny."

Ji Xiao nodded seriously, and when he caught Gu Yunyi's gaze, he was quite happy, "Well, it's from your family."

Gu Yunyi didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only eat without thinking, but he had to admit that Ji Xiao's cooking was very suitable for him.

He couldn't help but think of what Gu Bai said to him before the meal, and his ears turned red with disappointment.

This small change was still fully seen by Ji Xiao, and his tone was full of annoyance and doubt, "Brother, why don't I make slightly spicy next time, your spicy ears are red."

"Our family's ancestral rules, don't talk when you eat and sleep!" Gu Yunyi buried his head in the bowl, talking about the new rules he established today.

Ji Xiao didn't answer any more, but when he looked at Gu Yunyi from time to time, the food in his hand became much sweeter.

What he knew was not only Gu Yunyi's favorite dishes, but also everything about Gu Yunyi.

When Ji Xiao picked up Long Pei, he accidentally discovered that he could hear a person talking through Long Pei. Most of what the person said was ordinary, but the voice was extremely pleasant. Whether it was an interesting experience or a sad past, Ji Xiao could empathize with him.

Over time, Long Pei became Ji Xiao's life sustenance for being bored.

Ji Xiao recognized Gu Yunyi as the person he dreamed of almost the moment he heard Gu Yunyi speak.

Ji Xiao doesn't like spicy food, but he rarely cooks non-spicy dishes, because he believes that one day, Gu Yunyi will be able to eat his dishes.

Gu Bai and Gu Yunyi lived up to everyone's expectations and carried out the CD-ROM action. After the meal, they stroked their stomachs in satisfaction, looking cute and playful.

Gu Yunyi seemed to accept the new member of the family very quickly, no longer pretending to be a hostess, clapped his hands after the meal, and was about to enter the kitchen with the bowl and chopsticks, "Your wound is not healed yet, you can't touch the water, other Let me do the work. Take a rest today."

Ji Xiaoshun got up, sat on the sofa in the living room, found a place where he could see the kitchen, and turned his head to watch Gu Yunyi's every move.

"What do you like about my uncle?" Gu Bai poked Ji Xiao, his expression became serious, "Minors cannot fall in love!"

Ji Xiao shrugged his shoulders expressionlessly, and answered briefly and forcefully, "Minors are not allowed to fall in love, but men who have reached the age of 22 can marry. He can wait for me."

Gu Bai thought for a long time, patted Ji Xiao's shoulder, and whispered: "He has never been in love, you have a long way to go."

Ji Xiao looked at Gu Yunyi thoughtfully, seeing him coming out of the kitchen and walking all the way to the living room, he happened to bump into his scrutinizing eyes, which were full of brilliance.

Gu Yunyi saw two people talking to each other in the living room from a distance, and his expression was not a good thing, so he ordered in a cold voice, "Gu Bai, go take a shower. And you, sleep in the attic on the second floor. Don't go downstairs at night if you have nothing to do."

Ji Xiao's eyes obviously dimmed a lot, his face showed just the right amount of disappointment, and his voice was pitiful, "Okay, I won't do bad things."

Gu Yunyi was stunned for a moment, feeling pity in his heart, took out some new clothes from the room, and handed them to Ji Xiao, his voice softened, "You don't have any new clothes, so just wear these. I haven't worn them, it's very hygienic. "

Ji Xiao's lost expression was fleeting, and he immediately changed into a happy and satisfied one, and said sweetly, "Thank you brother, I like the clothes my brother wore too."

Gu Yunyi was disturbed by his ambiguous words, his heart trembled, he coughed lightly, followed by "rest early.", and left the living room at a faster pace.

The living room suddenly fell silent, leaving Ji Xiao alone, holding Gu Yunyi's clothes in his hand, and said softly, "It's 10:30."

10:30 every night is the time for Gu Yunyi and Yupei to confide in their hearts.

Ji Xiao returned to his room on the second floor, took out the dragon pendant in his arms, and saw Yulong's eyes light up faintly, and the dead things came to life at this moment.

A pleasant male voice sounded in the quiet bedroom, it was a voice that Ji Xiao was all too familiar with——

"Today is really troublesome. A stranger came out of nowhere. He is young and has a lot of thoughts. I don't think he is a good guy. I should pay more attention to it in the future." Gu Yunyi's tone was full of complaints. For a moment Xiao didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

Ji Xiao was sure that Gu Yunyi had a psychic connection with Long Pei, and he was naturally happy with the person he misses, but why can't the first impression be a positive one?

He frowned slightly, and continued to listen to Gu Yunyi's reproach with a tense corner of his mouth.

"However, he is not without merits. He rescued Brother Mao and was injured. Maybe he is a hero with deep merit and fame." It is not difficult to hear the recognition of Ji Xiao in Gu Yunyi's voice, making Ji Xiao frowned His brows instantly relaxed.

Gu Yunyi seemed to have turned over on the bed, and there was a vague sound of rubbing the quilt, the voice was muffled in the thick cotton, "Handsome is handsome, Gu Bai said he liked me, but he collapsed at my house for no reason. Pond, is it true that Master Lingtong said, he will be my destined person?"

Ji Xiao had heard Gu Yunyi talk about Master Lingtong before, and he also knew that Gu Yunyi's fate was very difficult. If he couldn't find a suitable partner before the age of 25, his spiritual power would explode and his life would be endangered.

He was secretly happy that he could appear in his life in time, and he was sure that he would be Gu Yunyi's other half.

"But I don't like little brats. When the time comes, people will think that I am an old cow eating young grass." Gu Yunyi's words were full of disappointment, as if he had thought it over and over again, and finally decided that he was too old.

Gu Yunyi's words completely made Ji Xiao laugh, and made him look at his immature face in the mirror, and whispered, "It's not sure who is the old cow!"

He traveled here from the original world, although his mana has not decreased, but he is not a little younger. When he saw his 16-year-old appearance at first, he was really shocked.

However, the days to come are long, and the old cows who eat tender grass may return to their old age.

After thinking about it, Ji Xiao also had a good night's sleep listening to Gu Yunyi's sweet dreaming voice.

It wasn't until dawn on the second day, and before the morning sun came to work, someone wearing a close-fitting uniform rang the doorbell of Gu's house.

"Mom!" Gu Bai knew that it must be Gu Yao, and almost before the second bell rang, he took small steps and went to open the door for Gu Yao.

Gu Yao is a vigorous and resolute woman, and she is also the person Gu Yunyi fears the most in this world.

Gu Yunyi sat on the sofa with legs side by side, not daring to move at all, and explained to Gu Yao a few words about Gu Bai's situation, then turned to Ji Xiao on the other side of the sofa, and introduced, "Gu Bai should have told you all about it on the phone. , he has a special background, and I need you to register."

Gu Yao half-closed her eyes, looked at Ji Xiao, said a simple "um", wrote down Ji Xiao's name in the casual notebook, and said for some reason, "I am sister Gu Yunyi, and I will treat my brother well in the future." a little."

Gu Yao's spiritual power was low since she was a child, but judging by her abilities, she has never lost to anyone.

"Sister, I will." Ji Xiao keenly heard a little implication in Gu Yao's voice, and made the promise extremely solemnly.

There was an inexplicable burning sensation on Gu Yunyi's face, which made him panic, and tried to change the subject, "Gu Bai said that you have something to announce."

"Hmm." Gu Yao's expression turned serious, she pondered for a moment, her expression serious, "Recently, the law and order is not stable, there are many strange situations, and the exchanges between time and space are also very close, and the higher authorities suspect that someone is secretly manipulating it. You don't go out on weekdays, Yu Diao Stop doing business, the Gu family is not short of money."

Gu Yunyi thought for a moment, nodded obediently, and did not refute Gu Yao.

In fact, he took an order for jade carving last night, and he planned to go out to buy at noon today, but he didn't dare to disobey Gu Yao face to face, so he could only nod along with her wishes.

Anyway, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings.

After thinking about it, a sly light appeared in his eyes, he echoed Gu Yao's words, and asked Gu Yao to take Gu Bai out for dinner.

When Gu Yao left Gu's house and only Gu Yunyi and Ji Xiao were left in the room, Gu Yunyi slowly got up, glanced at the scenery outside the yard, and said calmly: "The weather is fine, I'll go out to buy some ingredients and come back. Takeaway is not safe, we will not leave the house in the future, if you want to buy more, you can wait for me at home."

Ji Xiao looked at the birds flying low in the sky outside the window, which was obviously a sign of rain, and said sincerely: "Since my brother wants to buy more things, let me carry them for you. You can't just eat and do nothing, this is not my attitude in dealing with people."

Gu Yunyi's tone was firm, and he rejected Ji Xiao, "No, I'll be back soon, you can take care of the house."

After all, he was ready to get up and go out without giving Ji Xiao any room to maneuver.

Unexpectedly, Ji Xiao gave an unprecedented "hmm", and at the moment he held the doorknob, he said pleasantly: "Yes! I will call Gu Bai and ask Sister Yao to help you. She does not allow you to go out , let me help take care of you, so she can rest assured and save you effort."

Gu Yunyi turned his head, his expression changed sharply, and he gritted his teeth and asked Xiang Ji Xiao, "I'm going to the jade carving market, you'd better remember whose food you ate, if you dare to tell the truth, I will kick you out."

There was a hint of worry and eagerness in Ji Xiao's eyes. After deliberating for a moment, he said righteously: "I really want to go with my brother, so that I can protect my brother and fulfill my promise to sister Yao. But my brother thinks I'm clingy. It doesn't matter if you are a person, I will ask Sister Yao to send someone to protect you, it doesn't matter if I am homeless, brother must not be in danger."

Gu Yunyi's gaze pierced Ji Xiao like a needle, but was reflected in place by his earnest eyes, stung him speechless.

In the end, he was defeated, and he quickly told him that the things in the jade carving market can only move with his eyes, not his hands, so he took him to the jade carving market.

The jade carving market is like a big market, with mixed fish and dragons inside, and the finished products are uneven. Gu Yunyi found the stall where he had been buying jade all the time. Seeing the boss looking around the market with a dull gaze, he didn't open his mouth to solicit customers for a long time. He couldn't help but stop in front of the boss's booth, and joked, "Brother Jia, don't you notice today's guests?"

The boss's complexion was sallow, and he looked lifeless. Seeing Gu Yunyi standing in front of him, he didn't say a word or nod.

"Brother Jia?" Gu Yunyi shook his hand in front of the boss, as if to bring back some of his sanity, the boss's eyes lit up suddenly, and the smile was quickly and vigorously supported on his face.

"Boss Gu, I haven't been here for a long time. If there is anything you like, let's see." The boss bent over halfway, changed his indifference just now, and greeted Gu Yunyi enthusiastically.

Gu Yunyi carefully observed the baskets of jade stones placed on the ground, and patiently explained to Ji Xiao, "Boss Jia is the best at doing business in the jade carving market. Other people's stones are transparent on the surface, but they are actually cut open. There is nothing, and the gold and jade are in it. Boss Jia is a really knowledgeable person. Every basket of stones in him is just the right size. The stones are not eye-catching, but they are actually real materials. From left to right, these stones Inner Mongolia She Taicui, Xinjiang Hetian Jade, and Tuojiang Daqian Jade. In this way, it is clear at a glance what color, hardness, and what vessel you want."

Ji Xiao looked intently at Gu Yunyi's side face at work, staring at him for a moment, as if everything in the noisy market had nothing to do with him.

"Choose She Taicui. This kind of jade has high enough Mohs hardness, and the luster is neither strong nor weak. It has no waxy texture, soft and delicate, and has a shiny luster. It is very suitable for carving into jade cups." Gu Yunyi said to himself, looking up Boss Yushi couldn't help frowning when he saw the hollow cold light in his eyes again.

Seeing Gu Yunyi raised his head, the boss yawned nonchalantly, and regained his energy, "I went to bed late last night, so I chose it, right?"

Gu Yunyi looked the boss up and down, didn't see anything unusual, so he paid the money, looked back at Ji Xiao, saw that he took the heavy jade naturally, and left the jade carving market with his head held high.

He couldn't help but think to himself, in the past, he bought it by himself, not to mention being exhausted to death. When choosing jade, he would be spotted by some aunt from time to time, and would fight for a chance for their children to have a blind date.

It's all right now, Ji Xiaochu is by his side, and the aunts stay away, which saves him a lot of trouble.

Gu Yunyi looked back at Ji Xiao with satisfaction, and said with a pun: "You are quite useful."

When Gu Yunyi left the jade market, the boss's expression became hollow again, and he fell to the ground like a deflated balloon. All the bones in his body were misplaced, and every joint was connected by a thin thread invisible to the naked eye. Only the person behind him Only when he holds those thin lines can he stand up again.

In the jade market, everyone's voices suddenly stopped talking, and they turned around in all directions and gathered in the same place, in front of Boss Jia's jade stall.

Someone came out from the jade stall, looked at the direction Gu Yunyi was going, and sneered, "Master Gu, you will definitely be satisfied with this piece of jade."
