Chapter 103: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife
Chapter 103: Couple Outfits
The more I look, the more it resembles, the big boss's clothes!
Bai Lu was dumbfounded, unwilling to believe that she could make such a low-level mistake.
Just as she was about to take it off for a careful check.
Suddenly, a big hand grabbed her wrist, turned it in a direction, and stuffed it back into the coat pocket.
Bai Lu raised her head in a daze, seeing the slightly gloomy face of Xiao Cheng, she decisively admitted her mistake: "I didn't mean to, I was in a hurry when I left this morning, and didn't see clearly for a moment..."
"Wear it." He didn't let her take it off.
Bai Lu: "..."
If she remembered correctly, Xiao Cheng only had two coats, both of which were black, and their styles were exactly the same.
He was currently wearing a black coat.
She was also wearing a black coat now.
In the modern world, in such a situation, it is generally referred to as a couple outfit!
Yes, that's right, a good brother outfit!
Bai Lu felt at ease and didn't take it off. The hand pressed against the pocket no longer struggled.
As long as I'm not embarrassed, the embarrassment is on others.
The embarrassing ones are the gossip eyes of the aunties in the market, the teasing gazes of the neighbors passing by, not her.
Seeing Bai Lu's cheeks turning red for a second and then returning to normal, Xiao Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, as if nothing had happened, and withdrew his hand.
The warmth spread in the palm of his hand, from the main vein all the way to the chilly fingertips, lingering softly.
Xiao Wei was surprised to find another big thing.
The big brother's face now was not as irritable as when he told him to go to school in the morning.
He was walking slowly, and Xiao Wei could keep up with his normal steps, unlike before when he couldn't catch up even if he ran wildly.
The sun really came out from the west.
Once back home, Bai Lu went to the closet to search for clothes. Sure enough, the short black jacket she had worn last night had been shaken by Xiao Cheng to the corner.
Above the closet, there were originally clothes of both her and Xiao Cheng—thick coats, various lengths of jackets.
Xiao Cheng only had two black coats, one black jacket, and the rest were her clothes.
Her jackets were fewer, only a thin black cotton jacket and a short camel jacket.
Last night, they were all put back into the cloth bag, but Xiao Cheng shook them back into the closet before she had a chance to hang them back.
This morning, she accidentally took the wrong one when changing clothes.
Bai Lu quickly changed back into her own clothes, hung Xiao Cheng's coat back, and tidied up the rest of the clothes.
In the kitchen, Xiao Wei was already sitting in front of the stove, cooking, and another stove was burning.
Xiao Cheng was stir-frying.
Having been here for so long, Bai Lu saw Xiao Cheng stir-frying for the first time, the last time was during breakfast.
It was only during breakfast that he could cook noodles, fry eggs, and cook porridge. Apart from that, he had never done anything else.
In her memory, Xiao Cheng rarely cooked, often just ate casually outside, and only stir-fried rice at home.
Bai Lu was a bit suspicious that Xiao Cheng's cooking might not be edible, so he didn't do it.
But today, he suddenly felt like cooking. Maybe he wanted her to taste it, and she wondered about the consequences of deceiving him.
For the sake of her life, Bai Lu thought it would be better to hold the reins in her own hands.
"I'll do the stir-frying."
"No need."
Xiao Cheng still held the spatula, calmly stir-frying the vegetables, not allowing the fair and delicate hand to reach in.
If Bai Lu wanted, he wouldn't give it.
If Bai Lu wanted to fry chili, he wouldn't give it.
If Bai Lu wanted to cook by herself, he wouldn't allow it.
Bai Lu walked away angrily, and Xiao Wei, who was burning the fire in front of the stove, watched the whole process, dumbfounded.
For the first time, he saw Big Brother refuse Bai Lu so many times, and for the first time, he saw Big Brother cooking.
For the first time, he saw Big Brother make a table of delicious dishes, shocking Bai Lu who was originally angry.
Braised pig's trotters, steamed fish, stir-fried meat with broccoli and carrots, tomato and egg stir-fry, stir-fried spinach...
All without chili, all with color, fragrance, and taste. Not to mention comparing them to the traditional delicacies of the Hua country, even with the royal chefs of the national feast cuisine, at least they could compete with the chefs of the restaurants on Ninth Street.
Bai Lu was not only shocked but also stuffed.
Xiao Wei was the same. He originally wanted to eat whatever Big Brother cooked for the first time, even if it was bad.
Unexpectedly, it was so delicious that he couldn't stop!
Big Brother's cooking is so delicious, why didn't he do it before? Why did he only do it today?
Xiao Wei was full of doubts and confusion, and finally, they all disappeared in the two bowls of rice, and the action of finishing the plate.
Full and in a good mood, Bai Lu was ready to talk.
Returning to the room and seeing Xiao Cheng sitting at the table by the window, leaning on his left hand, a cigarette playing between his agile fingers, his eyes fixed on the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
Bai Lu quietly moved a wooden chair over, sat next to him, and gently pulled his sleeve.
Softly opening her mouth: "Can we talk?"
The annoyance in Xiao Cheng's eyes deepened, and the smoke played between his fingers, falling onto the table.
He picked it up and pinched it off: "Speak."
Bai Lu's eyes twitched slightly, and she said the words that had been organized countless times in her heart: "Do you agree to use the method of sugaring chestnuts to settle the debt, or do you agree to let me stay here, earn thirty thousand yuan, and then pay you back?"
"Either is fine."
Xiao Cheng was concise, with a nonchalant tone, an indifferent expression, and you couldn't even hear a hint of concern.
Bai Lu couldn't figure out his thoughts, so she could only deduce the conclusion based on his behavior of frying chestnuts in the morning.
"Do you agree to let me stay here?"
"Yes."
"Do you rent out the kitchen utensils... the electric chestnut flipping machine, the chestnuts in the firewood room, will you lease them to me?"
"Yes."
Xiao Cheng answered casually.
Letting Bai Lu's nervousness gradually disappear.
Her tone also became more relaxed: "The chestnuts you fried this morning should belong to you according to the facts, but you agreed to the second plan. It should be me who makes sugared chestnuts, sells them, and earns money to pay you back."
"You helped me fry chestnuts this morning, which is also a fact. How do you think the money should be calculated?"
"Either is fine."
Xiao Cheng obviously didn't want to discuss this topic again. His tone became more and more perfunctory, and his impatience was evident.
The cigarette that had been cut into two pieces just now was cut into four, six pieces, and finally crushed into fine tobacco by his long and powerful fingertips.
The scattered dark brown tobacco on the table, like his gradually irritable face, couldn't be hidden.
Bai Lu didn't want to bother him, but since things had been laid out, everything had to be settled to avoid trouble in the future.
After all, she and Xiao Cheng didn't have a marriage certificate, and they weren't considered husband and wife. They would have to part ways in the future.
Every penny had to be settled, and she didn't like dragging things out or owing favors.
Things had to be handled decisively.
Bai Lu pondered for a moment and thought of a method. Just as she was about to speak, she lifted her eyes and met a pair of deep eyes.
Xiao Cheng was looking at her, his eyes deep and unfathomable. The irritability seemed to be temporarily suspended, and she didn't know how long he had been watching her.
Instead of avoiding her gaze, he spoke first: "You're not feeling well these days. I'll fry the chestnuts, and you can cook."
Equal mutual assistance, a reasonable explanation and suggestion.
Bai Lu thought it was more feasible than the method she had just thought of, nodded in agreement, and then asked: "I'll be eating and staying here. How much is the rent per month?"
