Young Master Xiang, Leave Me Alone - C142

Tao Chu Liang busied himself around with an apron in the kitchen while leaning against the door. Looking at his face that was exactly the same as Tao Chu Liang’s, Xiang Chen Xi felt a bit absent-minded, as if he had returned to the days when he was together with Tao Chu Liang.

In the past, Tao Chu Liang didn’t know how to cook at all. Every time he wanted to eat a big meal, he would let him cook, and would frequently eat those delicious dishes while he was cooking, or when he was cooking at the side, Tao Chu Liang would cause him a headache. He had to restrain himself a little to threaten her that he wouldn’t cook for her the next time.

He was pretty much Tao Chu Liang’s exclusive chef. He knew that Tao Chu Liang would be able to speak of the dishes he liked, but if he were to ask Tao Chu Liang about the dishes he liked, Tao Chu Liang would definitely smile playfully and slip away. He looked like he couldn’t do anything to her and wasn’t willing to hit her.

Thinking about that, Xiang Chen Xi laughed out, the dense fragrance in the room came out, and rushed into Xiang Chen Xi’s nose. It was so fragrant, Xiang Chen Xi could not help but exclaim in admiration, but in his heart, he was quickly lost. Tao Chu Liang did not know how to cook, and yet, he was able to produce a soup with such a fragrant smell.

Lu Yu’s skilled workmanship, as well as that seemingly identical yet somewhat different face that Tao Chu Liang had, constantly reminded him that she was Lu Yu and not Tao Chu Liang.

“Tsk, what are you thinking about? Don’t worry, we’ll be able to eat very soon.”

Tao Chu Liang realized that Xiang Chen Xi, who had always been leaning at the door, had walked in front of him to scare him. Seeing that Xiang Chen Xi was actually looking at her with such a calm and indifferent expression, without showing any signs of being scared, he sighed depressingly.

“Meeting the Little Girl, you brought your friends home?”

Xiang Chen Xi looked at the person who had arrived. He appeared to be around forty years old, and was also doing farm work all year round, with a straw hat that covered his head and the sun on his head. The moment he entered, he was met with a wave of heat, and even had a bit of sweat on his body.

“Dad, just come back. Where’s Mom?” The person that Tao Chu Liang called “Father”, pointed behind him and said, “Your mother is still at the back. She walked slowly, so I thought you would come back late today, but I didn’t expect you to be back so early and even finished preparing dinner. “Oh right, this mister is …”

Tao Chu Liang listened to the conversation between the two without batting an eyelid, then sized up the person who came over. Tao Chu Liang probably could not stand the smell in the air, and said to the man: “Dad, go take a bath and take care of the sweat on your body. I just happened to heat up hot water.”

Just as they were talking, another woman came in. She should be the mother that Lu Yu mentioned, Xiang Chen Xi thought.

After taking off her straw hat and seeing a stranger in her house, she was shocked. Xiang Chen Xi politely extended his hand out and said, “Aunty, Uncle, hello. I am Lu Yu’s friend.”

The woman and the man shook hands with him. For a moment, Xiang Chen Xi’s hands reeked of sweat, and after smiling and talking to the two of them, Tao Chu Liang came out of the house to urge them to take a bath. Then, Xiang Chen Xi immediately washed his hands.

It wasn’t that he loathed it, but that the taste was too strong.

The men and women showered very quickly, it was like showering. In less than half an hour, the two people came out and changed into a new set of clothes, Xiang Chen Xi felt that they looked much more pleasing to the eye.

While Tao Chu Liang carried the electric stove to the table, he also asked Xiang Chen Xi to help him carry the bottom of the soup to the pot. When the man and woman saw the reaction of their “own daughter”, they looked at each other, some unknown emotions flashing past their eyes.

Everything was ready. Xiang Chen Xi helped set up the tableware, and when Tao Chu Liang saw this scene, his heart was moved. He did not know why, but she felt that if he was by his side, he would fully relax.

On the table, Tao Chu Liang was eating happily, Xiang Chen Xi looked at his face, and habitually gave him food. The men and women eating stopped eating, and Tao Chu Liang was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered.

The man and woman agreed, and advised Xiang Chen Xi: “Young man, don’t be shy, eat more.” As for themselves, they didn’t even touch their chopsticks.

Seeing the reaction of Tao Chu Liang’s parents, how could Xiang Chen Xi still eat? Suddenly, he felt that the delicious food on the table had become tasteless, the taste was like chewing wax, it did not have any taste.

“Dad, mom, why aren’t you guys eating? Do you want another bowl of rice?” Tao Chu Liang was extremely straightforward. He asked the man and the woman, and after seeing them shake their heads, he said to Xiang Chen Xi, “Uncle, eat more, and try my skills.”

It was hard to refuse a favor, and the most difficult to receive from a beauty. Xiang Chen Xi could only hold onto his bowl as he endured the gazes from time to time from the men and women that held deeper meaning. Xiang Chen Xi suddenly felt that this was the hardest meal he had ever eaten.

Finally, after Tao Chu Liang finished eating his fill, he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and Xiang Chen Xi quickly put down the bowl as well, and said, “I’m full, I’ll help you put the bowl away.”

After dinner, Xiang Chen Xi originally wanted to help Tao Chu Liang wash the dishes, but was rejected by him. The sun slowly rose as it was the beginning of summer and the sun set late. It was already five o’clock in the morning, but the sky was still very bright.

But Xiang Chen Xi had to, he had just received an assistant’s call, saying that the plan had been decided, and he would have to go back when he went back to discuss it in detail.

After bidding farewell to Tao Chu Liang’s family, Tao Chu Liang personally sent Xiang Chen Xi to the village entrance. Before Xiang Chen Xi left, Tao Chu Liang asked, “Uncle … You can still… “Are you coming back?”

After receiving Xiang Chen Xi’s confirmation, his originally anxious eyebrows relaxed. She wanted to understand what the feelings in his heart were. Xiang Chen Xi’s answer was like a tranquil film, telling her to calm down.

If she couldn’t get a taxi at the entrance, she would have to walk a bit further, but Tao Chu Liang couldn’t send her off, because other than the entrance of the village, she had never been to any other place.

Under Tao Chu Liang’s reluctant gaze, Xiang Chen Xi bid farewell to Tao Chu Liang, and stepped onto the bus back to the city. Under the darkening sky, only Tao Chu Liang was still waving non-stop at the entrance of the village.

“Uncle, I’ll wait for you to come back!”

That was the last sentence that Xiang Chen Xi heard. At that moment, Xiang Chen Xi had the impulse to turn back, but his mind was low as he reminded him: The person behind me only has the same face as Tao Chu Liang, but she is not Tao Chu Liang, she is the Lu Yu that was born here!

The car jolted back to the city. It was already dark, and on the road, apart from the people who came home in a hurry, there were also those who wandered about at night. Unlike the village, the city was brightly lit.

After paying the bill, Xiang Chen Xi got off the car and walked around the brightly lit city. He looked at the people on the streets, and noticed that it was different from the quiet villages.

The colorful neon lights shone on different people’s bodies and emitted different colors. The young people chasing after excitement rode their motorcycles and ran on the road. The wind ruffled their hair, but this kind of excitement made them extremely excited as they continued to ride their bicycles in different postures.

At the bar next door, everyone went in and out. They all went out in different ways to help each other out. As they walked, Gao Ge talked about the things that had happened to them recently.

The cold wind hit Xiang Chen Xi on his face, making him more clear-headed. He didn’t want to return to the hotel yet, so he aimlessly wandered around the streets.

Tao Chu Liang, where exactly was he?

Xiang Chen Xi found a place to stand, holding onto the fence, he looked up at the stars, his heart gradually filling with sorrow, all the people passing by all looked at him quickly and then left.

There were also some girls who were infatuated with Xiang Chen Xi. Seeing his handsome face and mannequin’s body, they secretly took photos with their phone. After being hit by Xiang Chen Xi’s sharp eyes, they held their phone tightly in their arms and left in a panic.

“Brother, do you want a drink?”

Xiang Chen Xi thought too deeply into it, to the point that he only came back to his senses after being patted on the shoulder. He turned around to see a stranger who he did not recognize, holding two beer bottles in his hands, and seeing Xiang Chen Xi turn around, he handed one over to him without any explanation.

Xiang Chen Xi was on guard, holding onto the beer bottle, but he did not know what to do, and continued to stare at the young man.

The young man looked to be around 30 years old, but upon seeing Xiang Chen Xi like that, he did not get angry. Instead, he raised his head to drink another mouthful of beer and started to speak, “You’re standing here alone to enjoy the wind, could it be that you’re lovelorn like me?”

Who is as lovelorn as you!

Seeing Xiang Chen Xi not saying a word, he continued, “I’ve known my girlfriend for eight years, eight years! It’s said that seven years is an itch, but it’s been eight years. We’ve been through all sorts of hardships together, but she actually carried me on her back to find some wild men! ”

“Do you know? My girlfriend’s family isn’t rich. We were all planning to get married next year, but she went out of her way. ”

“I went to look for her. She ignored me. I called, but she didn’t reply. I just wanted to ask her why. Is it all that difficult?”

As if he had said all the emotions that he had accumulated, the young man was no longer so excited. He held his beer and blew again, sighing, “This person is the easiest to change. A few days ago, I bumped into her on the street. I didn’t expect her to be together with me.”

The young man continued to ridicule Xiang Chen Xi. To him, it was fine for Xiang Chen Xi not to say anything, because what he needed was just a listener.
