Quick Wear: The Crazy Host is the Paranoid's Treasure

Chapter 400 The Landlord's Foolish Son and His Poor Dog 33

With the comfort, Pei Xuan put away his sad mood, his eyes showed a determined look, and he instantly cheered up again.

Ji Bai looked away and lowered his eyes to look at the sweet potatoes he was about to re-roast.

Pei Xuan was very cautious this time. He turned the sweet potato over almost every moment. After waiting for a very long time, the sweetness of the sweet potato mixed with sugar and the roasted aroma slowly came out.

After waiting for a while, Pei Xuan, who successfully baked the sweet potato for the first time, couldn't help but reach out to take it out.

Ji Bai grabbed his hand and said, "It's hot."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a little kid screaming: [Ah——! ]

Ji Bai lowered his eyes and looked at it, only to see it shaking its hands that were burned like pig's trotters, tears streaming down its face.

he:........

Ji Bai silently raised his fingertips slightly and covered his fingers with divine power.

It didn't take long before 818's claw that had been burned into a pig's trotter slowly returned to its original shape.

818 cried and burrowed into Ji Bai's arms. His two short legs kicked the air hard and buried himself completely in a warm embrace, but his butt was a little cold: [Bad sweet potato, you dare to burn Tamad, wuwuwu, I'm going to tell the Lord God! ]

Ji Bai lowered his eyes and looked at its elastic butt facing the outside, stuffed a candy into its mouth, then raised his eyes and looked at Pei Xuan who had suddenly fallen silent.

Seeing that he was in a daze, Ji Bai paused for a moment, then opened his mouth slightly with words on the tip of his tongue, but Pei Xuan beside him took the lead and suddenly took action.

He suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the hot sweet potato, and as expected, he got scalded. Tears instantly filled his eyes. When he raised his eyes to look at himself, his eyes were full of tears, and he looked so pitiful.

Ji Bai: ........

He glanced at his hands which were not burned at all - because except for the back of his head, the rest of this guy's skin was thick and tough.

But Pei Xuan's tears still fell, and he whimpered pitifully: "My wife, the sweet potatoes are so hot."

Ji Bai: .......

Pei Xuan threw himself into his arms and said in a tearful voice, "I want my wife to blow on me."

Ji Bai:.........

818 who was thrown out on the side:?

what's going on?

How did it get out of the boss's arms?

It looked back at Pei Xuan, who was hugging the boss' waist and burying his head in the position that originally belonged to him. It was stunned for a long time and didn't react to what had just happened.

Ji Bai lowered his eyes and looked at him, thinking that he didn't need to pretend to be stupid because he was already stupid.

But he still raised his hand and rubbed his head.

Pei Xuan hugged him for a long time before letting go, then raised his burned index finger and said pitifully: "My wife, my father said that if you get burned, you should get treatment quickly."

Ji Bai paused for a moment, then followed his words and asked, "How to cure it?"

Pei Xuan's eyes lit up for a moment, his gaze fell on his lips, hesitantly said: "My father said that if a person is burned, he must...he must..."

He didn't say it, but the meaning was obvious.

Ji Bai asked, "When did Dad teach you?"

Pei Xuan choked.

Ji Bai gave him a way out: "Did you get burned when you were a child?"

Pei Xuan nodded quickly.

818 came back to his senses: [Boss! I report it! ! When Chu Xuan was a kid, the landlord protected him very well and never let him get burned! ]

Ji Bai: "Then I will ask Dad tomorrow."

Pei Xuan's eyes flashed with obvious panic. After a long while, he lowered his head in frustration and said, "My wife, Ah Xuan lied. Ah Xuan never got burned when he was a child. Ah Xuan lied."

Ji Bai raised the end of his eyebrows slightly.

Pei Xuan lowered his head even lower, and his voice became much lower, like a good child who admitted his mistake: "Ah Xuan just wants a kiss from my lady, I don't mean to deceive my lady."

Ji Bai paused.

Pei Xuan raised his head and looked at him, his eyes red, as if he was afraid that he would break up with him because of his lies: "My wife, don't be angry, I will never lie again in the future."

Ji Bai looked at him for a long time before he raised his hands to hold his face and slowly approached him.

The sound of a violent heartbeat could be heard in the empty room, and Ji Bai stopped one centimeter away from Pei Xuan's lips.

He tilted his head back slightly, raised his eyelids and looked at the stunned person in front of him. After a long while, he spoke softly, "Coward."

After saying that, he put down his hand and turned around to pick up the sweet potatoes that had cooled down a little.

He was not only talking about Pei Xuan, the fool who was terrified by a small lie, but also Chu Xuan, who had clearly recovered some of his memories but was afraid to recognize him.

But he was also a coward. He knew Henry Chu was playing dumb but didn't expose him.

Because he hadn't figured out how to face Henry Chu.

Ji Bai broke the sweet potato in half and handed it to Pei Xuan, who was alone and sad because of being scolded. He put the other half aside for 818 to eat, then stood up and said calmly, "Go back to your room and rest."

Pei Xuan stood up and followed him as usual, but this time he kept some distance, but not much, less than one meter.

But for Pei Xuan, this is already the farthest distance.

The kitchen was some distance away from the bedroom, and neither of them spoke along the way.

The corridor at night seems even more peaceful and mysterious. The footsteps echo in the empty corridor, accompanied by the occasional chirping of insects in the distance, and a quiet and profound atmosphere shrouds the surroundings.

From time to time, they would meet patrolling guards, but the guards would just stand aside, bow their heads, greet them, and then wait for them to pass by.

After walking forward for a while, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"My lady..."

Ji Bai stopped, slowly turned around and looked up at the person who was speaking.

Pei Xuan's eyes were very clear, without the silly look that was seen at a glance in the past, and he said seriously: "Ah Xuan likes my wife, whether it is Chu Xuan or Pei Xuan mentioned by my wife in the dream, they all like my wife."

Ji Bai's fingertips moved slightly, and at that moment, time seemed to freeze, all sounds disappeared, leaving only the sound of heartbeats echoing in his ears, like an exciting drumbeat, playing the melody of life.

He raised his head slightly and looked into Pei Xuan's deep and bright eyes, which were like two shining stars, flashing with firm light.

Every subtle change in those black eyes revealed the burning emotions in his heart, as if one could see a blazing flame in his eyes and feel the scorching temperature.

The air seemed to become fresher at this moment, with a faint fragrance of flowers and grass. Ji Bai relaxed his breathing and took a deep breath. The breath was as light as a feather, sliding across his throat, entering his lungs, and then slowly exhaled, accompanied by a hint of coolness and a faint tranquility.

After a long while, he turned his head and looked away, avoiding Pei Xuan's deep and dark eyes, and said softly, "I know."
