How come I was the one being targeted?

"Ah, Bai Jun, you are such a sinful fellow."

"what?"

Seeing Bai Jun's bewildered look, Qing Que sighed and poked his waist with an angry finger. "Nothing, your luck should be good recently... What's that look in your eyes? Are you questioning my professional ability?"

Apart from anything else, Qingque is still very confident in his profession.

"Believe me, believe me. You know, I have always trusted Mr. Que's professional ability the most!"

Bai Jun nodded quickly and wanted to raise both hands to show his sincerity, but because his left hand was held by Su Shang and his right hand was held by Qing Que, he could only give an awkward smile.

"Then what was that look in your eyes just now? Do you think there's something wrong with my divination?"

Qingque snorted in pretended displeasure and let go of his hand.

Bai Jun laughed, his right hand behind his head, and tried to change the subject as he spoke: "Speaking of which, I'm planning to move today. Qingque, are you free today? I remember I told you about this last time, didn't I?"

"Of course I remember! But... today?"

A look of confusion flashed across Qingque's delicate little face. She wanted very much to move with Bai Jun, but she had already agreed to help Master Taibu today. If Bai Jun had told her about this yesterday, Qingque would not have gone to work today no matter what he said. But he had to tell her now, and it would be a bit awkward to break the contract now.

"If you don't have time, don't force yourself. How about I treat you to a meal at my new home when you're free?"

Bai Jun saw her dilemma and spoke to comfort her.

Xianzhou people usually call the first meal after moving into a new home "Liao Zao" or "Liao Guo Di". It can be regarded as a traditional custom with a very simple meaning. Basically, it is to wish the other party a lively life and prosperous fortune in the future.

Qing Que has always taken this very seriously, so upon hearing this, she immediately became a little annoyed and pinched Bai Jun's face viciously, "Stupid Qing Yan, it's because you told me too late! If you had told me yesterday, I would have said anything to get my first meal with you after moving into your new home!"

"Sorry, sorry, definitely next time!"

"Forget it, forget it. It's a shame I can't eat your new home's Liao Zao, but as compensation, if you can feed...feed me...ah! It's nothing, just ignore what I said!"

Qingque's voice was extremely weak, and halfway through her words, her face turned red with embarrassment. Perhaps she felt that her words were too shameless, so she had to cover her cute blushing face and feel upset alone, secretly cursing herself for being shameless and cowardly.

But Bai Jun still heard everything.

Whether it was her shameless request or her cowardly loud rebuttal.

"I added a lot of chili peppers to this dish, so you might find it spicy. Open your mouth, ah——"

A gentle smile appeared on Bai Jun's face. He picked up a small piece of rice noodle roll from his bowl and gently handed it to the girl's cherry-colored lips.

"This is too, too unfair..."

Qingque didn't remember how she finished eating the rice rolls that Bai Jun brought her. Perhaps the rice rolls were too spicy. She felt hot all over, including her cheeks and mouth. She lowered her head without knowing what was happening, and her delicate earlobes were flushed with a charming blush.

"I want some too! Bai Jun, I want to eat it too!"

Watching Qingque and Bai Jun feeding each other sweetly, Su Shang could no longer suppress the jealousy and envy in her heart. She tugged at the corner of Bai Jun's clothes and opened her mouth like a hungry bird.

"I want to eat more! Qingyan, feed me quickly!"

Bai Jun picked up a piece of rice noodle roll and handed it to Su Shang, which made Qing Que dissatisfied. The words that he was originally too shy to say gradually became generous and natural.

"Where are you two kids from..."

Breakfast time came to an end with the alternation of feeding and being fed. Qingque reluctantly went to work at Taibusi, while Suchang followed Bai Jun back to his home to pack up the things that needed to be packed.

"The new house has the most basic furniture and facilities, so we can just move in directly. So we don't need to bring too many miscellaneous items, just the most important things."

Bai Jun used the key to open the door which was in tatters due to various damages, and explained to Su Shang behind him as he walked.

"The most important thing... What a vague description. Could it be that Bai Jun, do you have gold, silver, and jewelry at home?"

Su Shang thought about it, but she really couldn't think of what important things were in Bai Jun's house.

If I remember correctly, Bai Jun's house should be quite clean and not have any clutter, right?

"What kind of person would keep a pile of gold, silver, and jewelry in their home? Strictly speaking, these are gifts from others. Regardless of whether they are useful or not, they are a token of their thoughtfulness. Thoughts are priceless, so they are the most important thing, both emotionally and logically."

Su Shang hadn't noticed before, but now she discovered that Bai Jun's house was indeed filled with many strange gifts: a dark purple and black dagger, an old chess set, a small hot pot stove, a twisted piece of iron, a tower incense burner for burning incense, a brooch engraved with an arrow...

There were several gifts that Su Chang was very concerned about, especially the small hot pot stove. Su Chang vaguely felt that she had seen it somewhere before, perhaps in Uncle Mu’s house next door?

Well, it must be an illusion. After all, Bai Jun had stayed in Yaoqing for a while before, so it was natural that he bought a similar hot pot stove.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help me pack these gifts."

Bai Jun carefully packed these things into a box, and then rigorously sealed it with tape. Turning around, he saw Su Shang still standing there in a daze, so he urged her.

"Oh, I see..."

"Remember to put the alarm clock together with the pillow. Um, please help put the books on the bookcase together as well. Oh, by the way, there's also a vase on the bookcase, be careful not to break it."

Following Bai Jun's instructions, Su Shang clumsily but diligently put away the alarm clock and pillow on the bed. However, the pleasant smell emanating from the pillow made her subconsciously freeze in place. After an inner struggle, she finally gave up the dirty idea of ​​burying her face in the pillow and felt ashamed of her unclean thoughts.

After a while, she sighed. In order to avoid being possessed by the ghost again, she carried the pillow to the box. She wanted to put the pillow into the box quickly, but the faint pleasant smell still lingered around her nose.

After another inner struggle, Su Shang promised herself to just smell it and then concentrate on her work, then slowly put her cheek close to the pillow.

"Su Shang, what are you doing holding my pillow? Sigh, it really isn't appropriate to give it to you. You should just go and rest over there. You just need to help me move things later."

At this moment, Bai Jun's sudden voice startled the already sensitive girl. She ignored the bookcase behind her and subconsciously took a few steps back.

With a loud noise from the bookcase, the books on it fell down with a crash. What was even worse was that the vase right above the cabinet also fell down along with the books.

This sudden scene even made Su Shang forget her own identity. She closed her eyes like a weak girl and trembled with fear.

However, the imagined pain did not come, only a slightly helpless sigh.

"You're really acting weird. Never mind, I'm glad you're okay. Did the book that hit you just now hurt you?"

Bai Jun's tall figure cast a shadow in front of Su Shang. He reached out and caught the fallen vase steadily, while giving her a worried look.

So close...

A bit too close...

Bai Jun didn't notice that the posture of the two was a bit like the wall-dong in girls' comics. The gradually approaching strong scene made Su Shang's face turn red in an alarming manner.

"Ah, ah, I...I'm fine! I'm really fine!"

Bai Jun's face was close at hand, his gentle breathing sound passed by her ears, a strand of silver hair fell and stuck to his cheek, and the pleasant smell similar to that of the pillow lingered around Su Shang's nose again, making her stutter and unable to speak.

"I'm glad you're alright. Go sit there and rest first. I'll take care of the rest."

Bai Jun tapped her forehead gently, then turned around and went about his business alone.

Looking at Bai Jun's busy back, Su Shang raised her left hand and gently touched her face - it was a little painful, but still felt a bit like a dream.

Putting down his left hand that was pulling at his face, all the high emotions just now gradually became transparent, and his heart seemed to become empty.

The morning sun was shining brightly, and the ray of light shining through the blinds was a little hazy, making the faint dust in the air look lonely and elegant, and blurring the gentleness and silence of Bai Jun's back.

Looking at the beautiful golden sunlight outside the window that brought her to tears, she suddenly felt that it was so happy to be able to stay by his side like this and share some time together.

Volume 121: Chapter My sister brought a man home

The new home is located on the edge of Jinren Lane, which can be said to be near the center of Changletian City.

Qualified to be located in the golden area of ​​the city center, this house naturally has its own unique style. The brick and wood structure building is like a temple, with flying eaves and carved window lattices, which is ingenious. Even the small sign at the door is very exquisite, reasonably set up, brand new, bright and generous.

"Ahem... Looks like I need to clean up the house before I go back to get the rest of my stuff."

Pushing open the wooden door, Bai Jun and Su Shang stepped into the room, stirring up a cloud of dust.

About two months had passed since Bai Jun and I rented this house from the businessman at a low price. It was slightly different from the first time we came. There was some dust on the small sign at the door and on the floor inside, which flew everywhere as the guests came.

"Put the things you brought at the door first, and go in and tidy up a bit, otherwise there will be dust everywhere. Su Shang, you should be able to do basic housework, right?"

Bai Jun piled the boxes he had moved on the steps of the entrance hall, deliberately avoided the aisle, and turned to look at Su Shang.

"Of course I can do basic housework. Although I'm not a master, I can still do things like mopping the floor, clearing the table, washing the dishes, and cooking a simple meal."

When this topic was brought up, Su Shang, who had always been forced by her mother to wash dishes and do housework, raised her chin proudly. This made Bai Jun's opinion of her change slightly, and his eyes gradually became more admiring:

"It seems I really underestimated you. I'll leave the table and floor in the living room to you. I'll go clean the bedroom and kitchen. Feel free to call me if you have any problems."

"Oh, just leave it to me, you can go do other things without worry!"

Su Shang rolled up her sleeves and raised her fair and slender arms, trying her best to show her most reliable side. In Bai Jun's eyes, she looked quite cute, so he left the living room to her with confidence and turned to go to the bedroom.

From Su Shang's tone, one could probably tell that she was not lying, but Bai Jun was still a little worried, so he silently quickened his pace, fearing that she would make another joke in the living room.

After he finished tidying up the bedroom and kitchen, what came into view was a brand new living room. It was clean and bright everywhere, and the wooden floor could even vaguely reflect the light from the window. Su Shang stood in a corner of the living room, gently wiping the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, and showed a bright smile to Bai Jun.

Looking at that clumsy but hardworking figure, especially that cheerful and sincere smile, Bai Jun couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and his eyes softened.

"Thanks a lot."

"Hey, this is just the beginning. I've just finished warming up."

Su Shang rubbed her hair shyly, then held her head high and patted her chest.

After cleaning up the new house, the two went back and moved the remaining things in. When everything was arranged properly and there were no problems, the sun outside the window was already hanging obliquely in the western sky, and a light red and purple color was gradually approaching from the west. It must be that it would not be long before the sky would completely sink into dusk.

"You've worked really hard today. Let's have dinner here."

Bai Jun folded the empty box and placed it under the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall. He stretched his body and asked Su Shang who was resting on the sofa in the living room.

"Is Bai Jun cooking by himself?" Su Shang asked curiously.

"Well, I'll show you a few of my skills today... But we have to go to the market first. It's just right to stock up on some food. We can't eat out every day."

Bai Jun returned to the kitchen and shrugged as he looked at the empty refrigerator. "By the way, let's see what you want to eat. You're the biggest contributor today. Eat whatever you want, as long as I can make it."

"Okay! I've been wanting to be with you for a long time... Uh, cough cough, nothing."

Su Shang didn't know what was going on in her mind, and her cheeks suddenly turned red. Fortunately, Bai Jun couldn't see clearly through the kitchen glass.

The streets were bustling with activity. It was the peak time for office workers to get off work, and even the vegetable market was filled with many tired people. Bai Jun and Su Shang blended into the ordinary crowd, buying and selecting vegetables and bargaining like everyone else. After a while, they left the vegetable market with two large bags full of vegetables.

"Don't you want to eat anything else?" Bai Jun asked the lively girl next to him.

"Enough, enough! I have a feeling that tonight's dinner will be the best I've ever had in Luofu!"

Su Shang was in high spirits, her big eyes narrowed into slits with joy, and her skirt kept shaking. This was the first sumptuous dinner she had eaten since she came to Luofu. It was not that she didn't eat good food normally, but the food in the Yunqi military camp would naturally become boring after eating too much.

What's more, this was the meal that Bai Jun made for her, and no one else could compare to it.

"I haven't even painted a rosy picture for you, but you're already praising me. Let's just say it's a deal, even if it doesn't suit your taste, you're not allowed to complain. After all, you said, 'Tonight's dinner will definitely be the best I've ever had in Luofu!'"

Bai Jun sighed helplessly. Su Shang looked at his distressed expression and couldn't help laughing.

After passing many intersections and long streets on Changletian Street, the two of them turned an intersection carrying two large bags full of food, and happened to bump into an internet celebrity who was live streaming.

"Who would have thought that my eldest brother would be so blinded that he would hijack a merchant ship from Xianzhou. The people of Xianzhou are upright and hate evil, and their methods are as swift as wind and rain. My eldest brother was defeated by the bandits and has surrendered. He only asks the general to show mercy to my younger brother and sister... Oh? Shang Shang and... Bai Jun?!"

With long hair as passionate as flames, a look of surprise on her delicate face, and a slender and graceful figure, the girl's gaze shifted from the jade on the selfie stick to the two of them, especially after seeing Bai Jun, her bright eyes seemed to be sparkling.

"Xiao Guizi?!"

Su Shang subconsciously stood in front of Bai Jun. For some reason, when she saw Gui Naifen, she felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in her heart, as if she had done something wrong to her.

"Shang Shang, you're such a jerk! I was wondering why you didn't reply to my message today. I've been worried about you all day, thinking you were with Bai Jun. The worst part is you didn't even tell me Bai Jun was back... I'm so pissed!"

Gui Naifen pointed at Su Shang with dissatisfaction, and the latter took out the jade seal from her pocket without realizing it. Only then did she realize that Gui Naifen had sent her no less than forty text messages. She immediately panicked and danced with excitement as she explained:

"No, it's not what you imagine, Xiao Guizi! This... this is force majeure!"

"What's force majeure? No, no, no, Shang Shang, don't change the subject. First answer me why you didn't tell me that Bai Jun was coming back. We clearly agreed to treat Bai Jun to a meal together when he came back, so why did you sneak away?"

Su Shang was speechless and closed her mouth with a dumb look on her face. Suddenly, the forgotten memories revived like waves, and Su Shang instantly remembered why she felt guilty.

"Uh, I, I said I forgot... Xiao Guizi, will you forgive me?"

"We are best friends, so of course I will... forgive this level of betrayal!!!"

Gui Naifen's smile broke a little. She walked quickly to Su Shang and pinched her face fiercely, as if she wanted to vent all her dissatisfaction.

"Aaaaah, it hurts so much, Xiao Guizi, let me explain!"

Seeing the tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, Gui Naifen would be lying if she said she didn't feel distressed. She loosened her fingers that were pinching Su Shang's face and snorted unhappily, "I don't want to hear it. Shang Shang, I know without even thinking about your excuses, you're going to use those clumsy tricks to fool children again."

"No, no, when have I ever fooled a child?"

Bai Jun looked at the two of them, his lips twitched, a bad feeling arose in his heart, and suddenly he had the idea of ​​sneaking away.

At the same time, in the live broadcast room that was still open, the overwhelming barrage of comments had already exploded.

"Best friends breaking up? Haha, that's interesting."

“Why is it snowing on my phone?”

"Okay, okay, I love watching this, more!"
