Gu Lang's tone of voice was extraordinarily gentle, with a bit of emotion that Chen Xing couldn't tell.

He couldn't help reaching out and stroking the jade pendant, feeling somewhat indescribable in his heart.

"This pair of jade pendants is a token of love for your parents. Isn't it a bit bad for you to give it to me like this?"

Gu Lang raised his eyes and looked at Chen Xing who was a little nervous, his gentle eyebrows were full of smiles, he reached out and gently stroked Chen Xing's cheek, letting him look directly at himself, with a firm tone Said: "Isn't it agreed that we are people who will accompany each other for a lifetime? If so, who should I give this jade pendant instead of you?"

Chen Xing met Gu Lang's eyes. I don't know if it was his illusion. In those gentle eyebrows, he saw a bit of strength that he had never seen before, and that Make yourself blush and heartbeat when you see it.

Chen Xing gradually clenched the jade pendant in his hand, looked at Gu Lang nodded heavily, and said firmly: "Well, we agreed."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing with a firm gaze, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and then under Chen Xing's stunned gaze, he leaned towards him and kissed him.

Chen Xing was taken aback by Gu Lang's actions, but then he wrapped around Gu Lang's waist and quickly became addicted to it. After all, being close to someone you like is a normal thing.

The carriage was moving, Qiu Jiu, who was driving the carriage outside, looked up at the full moon in the sky, thinking that tomorrow will be a good weather too!

The next day, when the store was about to close.

"Little Boss, the rice in the kitchen is running out." Qiu Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Chen who was stroking his lips, standing by the windowsill, wondering what he was thinking Xing asked in a low voice, "Are we going to stock up today?"

Qiushi's call immediately pulled Chen Xing back.

Yesterday, Chen Xing and Gu Lang kissed all the way to Gu's house, and at the end they were even a little embarrassed, but for some reason, Gu Lang finally restrained himself and sent Chen Xing back The room left, leaving behind a confused and obviously emotional Chen Xing.

To this day, Chen Xing still can't understand why Gu Lang suddenly stopped continuing yesterday. He clearly thinks that Gu Lang has responded, isn't it because he can't do it? ! So what is the reason?

Chen Xing thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what it was for, so he asked Gu Lang directly, and he was worried that Gu Lang would feel that he was dissatisfied with his desires and that he was too reserved.

"Hey~" Chen Xing sighed deeply, he felt that he could bear it any longer, in case Gu Lang had any scruples and rushed up like this, it was obviously impossible .

Qiushi next to Chen Xing frowned for a while, sighed for a while, relaxed for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Little boss, are we going to buy rice today? ?"

Chen Xing shifted his gaze to Qiu Shi next to him, and when he heard him repeat what he just said, he suddenly realized: "Is there any rice in the store?"

Qiu Shi nodded, looked at the little boss who had been distracted today, hesitated for a while but said nothing.

Chen Xing immediately put aside all his messy thoughts, and said decisively: "Go today, I will go with you, and buy some more spices. Let's push that little push. When the car is over, you can casually see if there is anything else to buy."

"Yes." Qiushi had no objection to this, and went to push the cart obediently.

When Qiushi was ready, Chen Xing went to the front desk and talked to Gu Lang, telling him that he was going to the rice shop to buy some rice, and by the way, buy some other things, and let Gu Lang guard the store after closing the door , he and Qiushi left together.

Chen Xing brought Qiu Shi straight to the rice shop where he usually buys goods, said hello to the shopkeeper there, and then chose the rice he wanted.

Because Chen Xing always buys a large portion of rice every time he comes to buy rice, and if he thinks the price is right, he orders it directly without saying much, so the owner of this rice shop likes him very much, and even sometimes Will give him a little discount.

I just don't know what's going on today, when Chen Xing selected the rice he wanted and asked the shopkeeper to help weigh the rice, the shopkeeper did not act for a long time, and looked at him with a tangled face, and finally After holding it for a long time, I finally said, "Guest officer, sorry, this rice is not for sale today."

Chen Xing, who was planning to go back and make something to eat, immediately cast a suspicious look at him when he heard his words, and directly asked his own question, "Why not sell it?"

So I can't sell it to you."

Chen Xing looked at the rice placed out, and felt that something was not right. In order to confirm again, he pointed to the rice and asked, "All of these have been ordered?" That The shopkeeper faced Chen Xing's slightly questioning gaze, nodded his head, and said helplessly: "Yes, guest officer, these are all booked by the other guests early in the morning."

Anyway, there is more than one rice shop in this city, and it is the same when he goes to other places to buy it. It's just that after working together for so long, he subconsciously chose this one.

So, Chen Xing nodded towards the shopkeeper very understandably, and said in a gentle tone: "If that's the case, then I'm not too **** others, I'll go to another house to see."

Hearing Chen Xing say this, there was a bit of hesitation on the shopkeeper's face, and in the end he seemed to be worried about something and didn't say anything.

He didn't say much, just pushed the cart in silence and followed behind Chen Xing.

Chen Xing didn't know if today's almanac was wrong, or if the whole city was against him, he then took Qiushi to several rice shops, either all of them were ordered by others Not for sale. As a result, it only took half an hour to travel, but it took him an hour, and he still hadn't bought a grain of rice.

"Little boss, shall we go there and see again?" Qiu Shi looked at Chen Xing who was sitting there frowning and didn't know what he was thinking, and asked quietly beside him road.

Chen Xing sat on the stone bench, eating the candied fruit that Gu Lang gave him before going out, looking at the street ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

After hearing Qiu Shi's question, Chen Xing seemed to have thought of something, slowly shook his head, and sighed: "No need, let's go back first!"

I didn't buy rice at first, it can only be said to be their luck, but then they ran to so many houses, but they didn't sell it to him, which made him have to think more . He felt that they were being targeted, and they were targeted in such an open and honest way. If that's the case, then it's the same no matter how many houses he runs, why should he spend all these thoughts, it's better to go back and think about what to do.

Thinking about this, Chen Xing sighed silently, then stood up and said to Qiu Shi next to him: "Let's go, we're going back."

When Chen Xing brought Qiu Shi back to the store, the store was already cleaned up, and Gu Lang was sitting at the counter watching the pedestrians on the street, as if waiting for them 's return.

Chen Xing clearly saw that when Gu Lang saw him, a smile suddenly appeared on his originally expressionless face, which made him feel tired from running all day. relaxation.

Gu Lang walked out from behind the counter and came to Chen Xing's side. Just as he was about to say something to him, he glanced at the empty cart behind him.

Thinking of what Chen Xing said before going out today, Gu Lang gradually had a bad premonition, and then he looked at Chen Xing in front of him, only to find that he had a rare tiredness on his face , He didn't care so much anymore, and asked directly, "You went out today, but it wasn't going well."

Hearing Gu Lang's slightly concerned words, Chen Xing's shoulders collapsed suddenly, and he looked up at Gu Lang with a bit of coquettishness that he hadn't even noticed himself. Tone:

"I think I should have been targeted. When I went to buy rice today, they didn't sell it to us. I thought about it, the Zhao family should be behind the scenes, but I don't understand them What is it for and what is it good for them?"

Gu Lang frowned when he heard the words, his face became a little ugly, he had imagined the Chen family's method, but he didn't expect it to be such a rude method, it's really a little bit. Funny!

Gu Lang looked down at the frustrated Chen Xing and comforted him, "It's okay, if no one in this city sells it to us, the big deal is that we go to a farther place to collect it."

Chen Xing also thought about this problem, but the transportation in ancient times was inconvenient. If they went to the village to buy it by themselves, or went to other places to buy it, not to mention the cost problem, but also the time delay.

However, until now, Chen Xing has no better way, he can only nod his head after Gu Lang said these words, and agree with his opinion.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's sullen look, rubbed his head gently, and said softly, "It's okay, it will be fine. His Chen family can't cover the sky with one hand, This county is so big, it is impossible for every rice shop to listen to him. After we pass this period of time, we will try to find a way to get justice for ourselves."

Chen Xing nodded when he heard Gu Lang's words. He felt that Gu Lang was right. They would overcome the difficulties before them first, and then try to find a way to get justice for themselves.

Chen Xing, who figured it out, immediately cheered up again, got a little bit of energy, and began to think of a way. Soon, he made a judgment. He first went to see the remaining rice in the store, and estimated that he could use it for three days. Immediately afterwards, Qiu Jiu and Qiushi were asked to go out separately to inquire about the rice shop that could sell them rice.

Chen Xing originally thought that even if the Chen family had a bit of prestige in the city, it was impossible to cover the sky with one hand. .

It's a pity that things didn't go as Chen Xing wished. When Qiu Jiu and the others came back, they didn't bring good news. On the contrary, Chen Xing, who was already heartbroken, became more and more depressed. .
