The tree demon seizes the house and chases after the wife

Chapter 58

The May Day holiday is coming to an end very quickly.

When he was about to leave the city, Jiang Bai always felt that Boss Gu seemed a little reluctant to leave this matter.

After buying the ticket to go back, Hua Mian raised her eyebrows when she noticed Jiang Bai looking at her, "What's wrong?"

"Do you like this place very much?" Seeing her open the mouth, Jiang Bai didn't hide it, and asked directly.

"Ha, I was discovered by you." Hua Mian handed her the ticket, seemingly unintentionally, "It's such a good city, I really don't know how you are willing to leave it and go to another place."

Okay... the city?

"It will snow in this city." Jiang Bai took the ticket, looked at the finish line on the ticket, his slender eyelashes moved slightly, "It's too cold, I like a warmer place."

"That's right." Hua Mian smiled and said nothing, "Let's go."

After returning to the dessert shop, Aunt Gu's complexion didn't look very good.

"Yo, do you still know to come back?" The always gentle woman looked worried, looking at the indifferent Gu Li and the somewhat confused apprentice.

"If you can't manage this store, why don't you come back." Aunt Gu looked at Gu Li with a serious voice, "I know you don't like this store, and you don't like desserts, if you don't want to..."

"I'm back, of course I am willing." Hua Mian raised her eyebrows, looked at the gloomy woman, and smiled, "Aunt Gu asked me what birthday present I wanted, but I didn't answer. This time, Aunt Gu helped me look at it for so long. Take it as a gift from Aunt Gu."

The woman turned pale, "It's okay to help look after the store, I'm just very worried about your attitude of fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, carp, no matter how much you hate your mother, she has already..."

Aunt Gu paused for a moment, did not continue, and covered the disappointment in her eyes, and said, "After all, this is your mother's painstaking efforts. Even if you don't like it, since you accept it, you must treat it kindly."

Obviously, he knew about Gu Li going to watch a movie with Jiang Bai during his vacation.

Hua Mian's eyes moved slightly, and she nodded, "Don't worry."

Jiang Bai looked at Boss Gu who was smiling a little beside him, inexplicably felt that the smile was floating and a little hypocritical.

Gu Li's mother... and Gu Li.

Jiang Bai thought about Qi Mu's words before, and thought about it a little.

So... If the facts are as Qi Mu said, why did Boss Gu inherit the dessert shop?

At the night market after get off work, Jiang Bai asked this question.

Hua Mian smiled, "There's such a pretty girl in the store, I couldn't help it, so she came."

Jiang Bai: "..."

"Don't believe me?" Hua Mian shook her head, looking a little regretful, and then laughed again, "If you don't believe me to tell the truth, let me tell you, I was born to love desserts, and I'm so talented. Thinking about my talent being wasted makes my heart ache so much that I can't help it." Breathe, my mother gave me such a good opportunity again, if I don't come back to inherit it, I'm just wasting my life in the water, so...do you believe it?"

Jiang Bai thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, "Well, it sounds very believable."

Without what Qi Mu said, she would have believed in the second version.

"So, I like to lie to you." Hua Mian shook her head with some emotion.

Jiang Bai glanced at her with no expression on his face.Hua Mian was a little guilty at Jiang Bai's look, and laughed, "It's not that you haven't believed the truth..."

The black-haired girl suddenly said, "I believe it."

Hua Mian's word "what" was stuck in Jiang Bai's throat just like that, unable to move up or down.Seeing her like this, Jiang Bai couldn't help but smile slightly, "I believe you."

"I've come to the night market, what do you want to eat, hairy crabs?" Hua Mian was moved by Jiang Bai's words, coughed twice, and asked her while the night was covering up the redness on her cheeks.

"I haven't eaten." Jiang Bai shook his head.

"Let's try it then." Hua Mian smiled, "The boss pays for it, you've taken advantage of it."

"Ah."

"Hmm... Would you like some wine?" Hua Mian pondered, Jiang Bai looked at the noisy environment around him, and shook his head, "Let's eat earlier and go home."

"Haha, is the little apprentice afraid of getting drunk and encountering bad guys?" Hua Mian couldn't help laughing when she saw her, and then said seriously, "Don't worry, with me here, no one can bully you."

It's just that the corners of the eyes and eyebrows are stained with a slight smile.

Jiang Bai looked at Boss Gu with warm brown hair, and his heart warmed slightly, "It's fine if you don't bully me, there are no other villains."

"I'm so wronged, the little apprentice is so cute, how could I be willing to bully her." Hua Mian felt aggrieved.

When the hairy crabs were finally on the table, Boss Gu couldn't resist ordering a few bottles of wine to enjoy himself.

"It's bitter and not good to drink."

Hua Mian also poured herself a cup, tasted it and frowned, "It's not as good as mine."

"I heard...your mother is very strict with you?" Jiang Bai poured himself a glass of wine, and couldn't help laughing, "This is beer."

"Anyway, it's not good." That's what she said, but Hua Mian still drank the wine in the glass, "Did A Bai just say Gu... my mother?"

"Yeah." Jiang Bai nodded.

Hua Mian thought for a while, "Yes, she is very strict with herself, teaching..."

After a pause, Hua Mian poured herself another glass of wine, frowned slightly, covered the glimmer of light in her eyes, and said euphemistically, "Teaching others is also very strict."

This other person is naturally Gu Li, not her Hua Mian.

Jiang Bai didn't know the meaning of "others". He only thought that Boss Gu was talking about herself, and couldn't help but think of what Qi Mu said, "It must be very hard."

He was starved for so long because he couldn't make a dessert, Jiang Bai thought it was cruel due to emotion and reason.

"Naturally, it's hard work." Hua Mian didn't miss any chance to win favor with Jiang Bai. She started peeling hairy crabs, half-truth, "When I was young, I was often hungry because I couldn't make desserts. , if you are not sure about the heat, you will be taught a lesson severely. Later, although you can make desserts with ease, like instinct, but..."

However, he has also become an extreme person who subconsciously feels nauseated, disgusted, and disgusted when he sees desserts.

Extreme, who hates desserts, Gu Li.

"but?"

"However, I found that I really like eating desserts more than making desserts." Hua Mian sighed, looking very regretful.

Jiang Bai: "..."

Jiang Bai picked up the wine glass with a blank face and drank it down in one gulp.

"Ha, don't be angry, really." Hua Mian smiled and put the peeled hairy crabs on the small porcelain plate in front of Jiang Bai, "Really, I am so pitiful, and Ah Bai doesn't know how to pity me one time."

"After all, it's my mother, so there's nothing I can do about it." Hua Mian held her chin, looking worried about the country and the people.

Jiang Bai stared at the peeled crab meat on the plate for a while, and said for a while, "Then... Aunt Gu..."

"I'm sick from overwork, and it's buried in the ground." Hua Mian picked up the second hairy crab and continued peeling. After peeling for a while, she frowned and suggested solemnly, "I think we should add a few more side dishes."

Looking at Boss Gu's indifferent appearance, Jiang Bai felt a little inconsistent.

While saying "after all, it's my mother", I was a little helpless, but revealed some kind of intimate words unique to my family, and at the same time showed a casual attitude towards my mother's death.

Is it because I care too much, so I deliberately let myself show that I don't care, or do I not care at all?

It's like being an outsider.

Jiang Bai filled up his wine glass, "Then add a plate of peanuts."

"What is Abai's mother like?"

The peanuts came out soon, Hua Mian put the second peeled hairy crab on the small ginger-white porcelain plate, and changed the subject.

"Have you ever been strict with Abai?"

Jiang Bai was slightly taken aback, feeling a little surprised that Boss Gu turned the topic on himself, but he still answered truthfully, "No."

She had never seen her mother so severe.

Most of the time, she is very gentle. Even when she was naughty and ate corn dumplings when she was a child, she just laughed at her for being a glutton.

Maybe when she made a serious mistake, the mother also became very strict.It's a pity...she hasn't grown up to the age where she can make big, big mistakes, and her mother is already gone.

Dropping out of school, fighting, drinking and smoking, everything seemed unforgivable before, and would be severely reprimanded by her mother, but in her eyes, it gradually became a matter of course.

The person who would scold her is long gone.

"Then your mother should be a very gentle person." Hua Mian said warmly, "It's enviable."

Jiang Bai was silent.

No matter how gentle, no matter how enviable.

Those are already... people who live in memory.

"When she treats me harshly, I will hate her." Hua Mian drank a glass of wine, snatched this body, and naturally knew a lot about Gu Li, "Later, she did some things that ran counter to her wishes. "

In fact, from Hua Mian's point of view, the owner of this body is extreme, stubborn, and somewhat childish in his actions.

However, at the age of eighteen or nineteen, she is full of vigor, with the impulsiveness and extremes of young people, so Hua Mian does not comment on Gu Li's actions and attitude.

However, Ah Bai probably... wants to know her very much.

"The opposite thing?" Jiang Bai wondered.

"Let's gamble." Hua Mian drank a glass of wine, slightly tipsy, "What she hates most is playing cards and other gambling, because before, her man cheated her of money to gamble, and then ran away without a trace due to huge debts , she had his child again, and there were too many rumors, so she left the original city, worked hard here, and gave birth to Gu... me."

"So, she has a deep aversion to gambling."

Jiang Bai thought of the cards he saw on Boss Gu's tea table before, "Do you still gamble?"

Hua Mian paused slightly while pouring the wine, and her expression became subtle, "I will."

- You are a gambler in the game.

"Quit." Thinking of the card that Qi Mu gave to Boss Gu, Jiang Bai was expressionless and made a final decision.

Hua Mian: "..."

"Is Boss Gu unwilling to quit?" Jiang Bai poured a glass of wine for Boss Gu, with a half-smile.

Hua Mian coughed twice, took the wine, without changing expression, "I quit."

After drinking for three rounds, both of them were a little drunk, the night breeze was a little chilly, and Jiang Bai's voice became a little hoarse, "Your mother treated you like this, did you feel sad when she passed away?"

Hua Mian was really drunk, her head was a little dazed, "Why are you sad, there is nothing to be sad about."

Why is Hua Mian sad about other people's family matters.

"That's it."

"What do you say, keep drinking!" Hua Mian poured wine for herself, but she was so dizzy that she couldn't even align the wine glass. Jiang Bai sighed slightly, feeling a little helpless, and poured the wine for her, "Drink like this , to see how you go back in a while."

"With Ah Bai here, I don't worry about it." Hua Mian took the full wine glass to Jiang Bai's side, put her hand on her shoulder, her eyes blurred, "Come on, drink."

Jiang Bai took the wine glass and drank it.

Seeing her drinking obediently, Hua Mian seemed very happy, and she called her over and over again, "Abai, Abai..."

Jiang Bai's heart softened when he heard this, and he answered her in a loud voice.

"I like you……"

"Ah."

"When you called me Mianmian... I was really, really happy..."

"Um……"

The night wind was cold, like waking up from a dream, the empty wine glass in Jiang Bai's hand quietly fell to the ground.

Crisp crackling.

——When you called me Mianmian, I was really, really happy.
