Chapter 21 The Self-Deceiving Liar

Seeing Lin Xiaodong's smiling face so close, Gu Xi's Adam's apple rolled slightly.

It seems that every time such a situation occurs, it is Lin Xiaodong who compromises first.

He was also used to it. From the initial unease to being used to it, the young man never seemed to be angry.

No matter how excessive Gu Xi did, Lin Xiaodong would only show him a helpless and tolerant smile.

Those who are favored are always fearless, and Gu Xi feels that he is in such a state now.

The original trace of guilt was suppressed in his heart, and the man stretched out his big hand, pressed it on the back of Lin Xiaodong's head, and deepened the kiss in front of everyone without any hesitation.

Between his lips and teeth whispering, Lin Xiaodong's breathing gradually became short, and he said vaguely: "Enough...you don't come here, there are still so many people watching, don't take an inch..."

Gu Xi lowered his eyes and said, "You're used to it."

"Take care of yourself," for a long time, he reluctantly let go of the panting person in his arms, and urged uneasy, "I will come to you tomorrow morning."

After speaking, Gu Xi lowered his head and took a hard bite on the side of Lin Xiaodong's neck, then straightened up as if nothing had happened, and looked at the young man standing beside Lin Xiaodong calmly.

In the distance, Lin Xiamian, who was chatting with the employees to find out the news, smiled and turned around.

He saw the picture of the two snuggling together at a glance, and the smile instantly froze on his face.

The person next to him sighed twice: "Let me just say, Manager Xiao Lin is such a good-natured person, even if he has a conflict with President Gu, he will definitely reconcile quickly. Do you think so?"

Lin Xiamian twitched the corners of his mouth and lowered his eyes, "Yes."

But his eyes were cold and there was no smile.

*

As a large shipping company with its headquarters near the sea, the first choice for organizing employee travel is of course inland areas.

"I heard that the local landscape is particularly beautiful," a group of people discussed enthusiastically after the departure. "There are forests, creeks and lakes everywhere, the air is super good, and there are winding mountain roads built on cliffs!"

One person said proudly: "I bought a camera on the Internet for this time out. There are several thousand."

"Then remember to take a few more pictures of our company's handsome men and beauties," the person sitting next to him teased, "especially Manager Xiaolin and his younger brother, such handsome brothers, it would be a pity not to take a few more pictures. already."

"That's for sure."

Lin Xiamian was dressed in casual clothes and carried a canvas bag on his shoulders. At first glance, he looked like a clean and sunny big boy.

Hearing the conversation of his colleagues, he turned his head and smiled at everyone, but did not participate in the discussion.

He and Lin Xiaodong sat in the back row of the bus. As soon as they got in the bus, Lin Xiaodong put on the blindfold and fell asleep while leaning against the window.

Seeing this, Lin Xiamian, who had planned to chat with him, could only regret it.

Because he was sitting in the last row, he didn't have too many scruples. Lin Xiamian's greedy gaze went down the bridge of the sleeping young man's nose. His gaze stayed on those two soft lips for a long time. When he wanted to look away, he suddenly found a dark red mark on the side of Lin Xiaodong's neck, which stabbed his eyes instantly.

This imprint is very new, and the shallow tooth imprint is blatantly declaring sovereignty to him; it is also like a giant dragon warning strangers who are ill-intentioned not to touch his treasured treasures casually, otherwise they will pay miserably. cost.

Lin Xiamian clenched his fists, wishing he could swallow Gu Xisheng alive.

Obviously he came first, why...

The young man's heart was numb, the expression on his face was uncertain, and he didn't even notice that the employees sitting in front were secretly looking back to observe them.

After seeing this scene, everyone who originally had a good impression of Lin Xiamian said:

Mr. Gu has a unique vision, but Manager Xiaolin is even better.

All day long, Lin Xiaodong perfectly followed the Chinese travel method of "getting on the bus to sleep, getting out to pee". In the evening, he stepped off the bus in high spirits, only to find that the people in the car were either pale or languid. In stark contrast to his flushed face.

"What's wrong with you all?" He was still surprised, and when he looked around, he found that he was the most out of place.

And Lin Xiamian, who had been thinking wildly all day, was even more exhausted physically and mentally, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Brother, I'll be waiting for you at the hotel. This is the room key." He said hoarsely, "I'll go to sleep first."

The company stipulates that the two share a room. Originally, Lin Xiaodong should be with Gu Xi, but now he has not come, so it can only be like this.

No way, Lin Xiaodong had no choice but to shoulder the heavy responsibility of going out for food.

Fortunately, there is a night market not far from the hotel. Young people strolling in the bluestone brick alleys of the ancient city can see the brightly lit food stalls on both sides of the street across the distance. The tourism industry here is developed, not only snacks, but also various shops selling small commodities. With the aroma of barbecue, the sound of shouts, rattles and bells from the distant mountains blend into one, the whole street is full of warm. Human fireworks.

"Tong," he asked as he took a walk, "did you say before that not every world is as peaceful as it is now?"

System: "Yes. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Lin Xiaodong said, "just ask."

He walked quietly among the crowd, and suddenly saw a stall selling candied haws not far ahead, so he walked over.

"I haven't eaten this for a long time, sir, how much is a bunch?"

The simple-looking old man stretched out three fingers tremblingly.

"Only three yuan? So cheap?" Lin Xiaodong was very surprised, "Then I'll buy-"

"thirty."

Lin Xiaodong: Simple and honest!

"No," he couldn't take it anymore, pointed to the string of candied haws and asked loudly, "Can this thing cost thirty? Even a scenic spot is too much! Twenty-five, I'll leave if I don't sell it."

The old man couldn't wait to say: "Deal."

Lin Xiaodong: "..."

Big loss!

"Ha ha."

The system mocked him with an inaudible mechanical sound.

Lin Xiaodong gritted his teeth and stared at the candied haws. He wanted to eat it again, and felt that he was tricked and really didn't want to pay for the money. He was struggling when he suddenly stretched out a hand from behind him: "Twenty-five, here's one."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Xiaodong suddenly turned his head: "Why are you here now!?"

Gu Xi took the candied gourd and smiled at him, "It's done."

Lin Xiaodong noticed a trace of exhaustion between his brows and eyes, and he thought to himself, you are just too controlling, and I want to follow wherever I go.

But he didn't point it out, he just wanted to say that you can give me the candied haws to have a rest first, but Gu Xi calmly opened his mouth and bit down a hawthorn in front of him.

"Gudong"

The young man swallowed involuntarily.

Lin Xiaodong walked beside Gu Xi and looked at him eagerly, as if looking at plums to quench his thirst, but the man didn't seem to see it. With great interest, he observed the shops on both sides of the street, looking at the sky and the ground, but not looking at Lin Xiaodong next to him.

This time he finally couldn't help protesting: "Hey, why don't you leave me a little bit?"

"Huh?" Gu Xi came back to his senses, and he laughed softly, "You want it? No, I bought it for twenty-five."

Lin Xiaodong: "...Stingy, drink cold water."

The young man rolled his eyes, bought a rattle played by a child and beat it desperately beside him, in order to express his disdain to a certain evil president. But they didn't notice that they had already walked to some inaccessible place, and after a while, they were picked up by the man and placed on his shoulders.

"Ah, ah, help, I'm afraid of heights-"

"Shh," Gu Xi said, "look below."

Lin Xiaodong's screams stopped abruptly.

He rode on Gu Xi's shoulder and stared blankly at the thousand-year-old ancient city in the valley below.

The lights of the stars are scattered on the cliffs, forming a warm orange-red halo under the dim sky, and the light and shadow reflected in the water ripple gently with the ripples, like countless stars forming a galaxy, from the group. The depths of the mountain meander down and flow into the distance.

"It's pretty." Gu Xi said in a positive tone.

Lin Xiaodong nodded unconsciously, and immediately responded, "Wait a minute, have you been here before?"

"I came here many years ago." Gu Xi admitted, "I always wanted to show you."

"No wonder, I heard them say that the location of this trip was decided by a high-level executive, but I didn't expect it to be you." Lin Xiaodong's eyebrows curved, and he took the opportunity to take revenge and rubbed the man's neat hair. Become a chicken coop, "Not bad, praise you!"

"Just verbal praise is not enough."

"Then," Lin Xiaodong thought for a while, jumped off him, held up Gu Xi's face and snorted hard, stunned the man, "Is that all right?"

It took a while for Gu Xi to react.

"...Just kissing the face doesn't count."

"Is that not enough?" Lin Xiaodong pressed his tongue against his cheeks, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Gu Xi for a few seconds, "Mr. Gu, you are a little greedy."

The atmosphere gradually heated up, and at the moment when the dry wood/fire was about to burst, a short scream came from behind them:

"Ah, my balloon!"

The two, whose bodies were almost sticking together, separated in an instant.

Gu Xi coughed. Although Lin Xiaodong couldn't see anything unusual on his face, the earlobes hidden in the darkness were red and almost dripping blood. He rubbed his nose a little embarrassedly, thinking that fortunately it was dark now and he couldn't see it, otherwise it would be bad for a child to see it.

"What's the matter, little brother?"

After a little composure, he walked over to the boy and asked, bending down.

"My balloon..." The boy pointed at the cartoon balloon hanging on the treetop, and said with a sad face.

Lin Xiaodong frowned slightly: "Let's not mention the balloon, where are your parents?"

The boy looked back, dumbfounded, his mouth deflated, and he burst into tears on the spot.

The veins on Lin Xiaodong's forehead jumped.

Maybe someone doesn't know yet.

But in his life, he hated children crying the most!

Since Gu Xi was still beside him, he comforted him twice, but it was of no use. The young man smiled and endured for three seconds, then pinched the boy's chin and raised his head, forcing him to look at himself, lowering his voice and threatening: "Little devil, shut up."

With just one expression, the image of the villain is revealed.

The boy hiccupped in fright and stopped crying immediately.

system:"............"

It struggled for a moment, and finally decided to pretend it didn't see anything.

"Very good," Lin Xiaodong released him with satisfaction and shoved the rattle into his hand, "this is more fun than a balloon for you. Now come with us to find the police on duty here, the police will help find you. Parents."

"...Thank, thank you big brother."

It will be an hour before the boy is reunited with his parents. Lin Xiaodong sighed and said to Gu Xi, "I really don't know how to bring children, it's too troublesome."

"But I think you did a good job." Gu Xi said.

Lin Xiaodong looked at him, and then looked at the boy who was pulling his parents away from them. He wondered if there was something wrong with your eyes, which is also called "good"?

The man said again: "This child listens to your words very much and stops crying all of a sudden."

That's because I threatened him, Lin Xiaodong thought blankly.

"I'm really curious about what kind of image I have in Gu Xi's mind," he said to the system, "I always feel that his perception of me is biased, and it's not what I want him to think. Shouldn't it be my delusion?"

System: "Same feeling."

After a pause, the system added: "Oh, I forgot to remind you just now, congratulations, all five good person cards have been collected, you can apply for task settlement and leave this world."

Lin Xiaodong was stunned for a moment.

Gu Xi next to him turned his head: "What's wrong?"

"...It's nothing," Lin Xiaodong slowly cleared up his expression, and raised a normal smile at him, "I'm hungry, let's go eat barbecue!"

After he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to run to the barbecue stall in front of him.

Gu Xi didn't run, just followed him slowly.

As the sky was completely dark, the lights of the night market were lit up one after another. The man was walking on the bluestone road where people came and went, and suddenly remembered the poem of Xin Qiji. The crowd searched for him thousands of times, and when he looked back, the man was in the dim light. .

...No, judging from the current situation, it should have looked back suddenly, but that person was at the barbecue meat stall.

"What are you dawdling for?" The young man in the distance stood on tiptoe and waved at him with a handful of steaming skewers, "Come on, I can't eat so much by myself!"

Gu Xi retracted his mind and said with a smile, "Come on."

He quickened his pace and strode forward.
