Chapter 826: The Tough Guys
"Yes, yes, it's me, Xiang Zun. I'm Sailor Tide. Can you let me speak normally? This position is too uncomfortable!"
"oh."
Gu Sanqiu loosened his grip, allowing the poor doll man to get up from the ground. After taking a few deep breaths, he hurriedly brushed off the dust on his body.
"Why are you here? And I remember your name is not on the list of workers working in doll costumes."
Chao Xi took off his hood and breathed a sigh of relief: "This is, this is the spare costume from backstage, I borrowed it to escape."
Gu Sanqiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Borrow?"
"Your next explanation will determine how long you will be imprisoned after you return to Liyue Harbor. Think it over before you speak."
"Uh, okay, I was wrong. I got it secretly from the backstage."
Chao Xi grabbed Gu Sanqiu's arm and said, "Xiang Zun, you came at the perfect time. I really want to redeem myself for my crime. Can you tie me up and take me back to Liyue Harbor? I won't go to bed until I clean up the entire harbor area!"
"I will also be charged with a lawsuit if I die from overwork. Yan Fei will definitely not help me with this kind of lawsuit."
Gu Sanqiu shook off Chao Xi's hand and said, "Seriously, how many girlfriends are surrounding you?"
Chao Xi suddenly became restless: "What do you mean by 'how many girlfriends'? I obviously only have one girlfriend, and that's the one I love!"
"They are all the people I love, so each of them is my girlfriend, but I only have one real girlfriend!"
Chao Xi clenched his fist and said passionately: "That's love!"
Gu Sanqiu put a knife on Chao Xi's neck without hesitation.
"continue?"
Chao Xi's body stiffened for a moment, and finally calmed down.
"Well, Xiao Cui has been pestering me to accompany her to this event. She said that after participating in this kind of event, we can imagine our future life with children and gain some parenting experience in advance."
Chao Xi snorted and said, "I really couldn't get rid of her, and she also checked in advance and found that I didn't have any work arrangements for the next few days, so I had no choice but to come."
Gu Sanqiu understood: "Then you met several other 'people you love', that's what you mean, right?"
"Well, that's about it..."
Chao Xi's tone suddenly became proud: "I only took a look from a distance and knew that the girl was Sisi, so I ran away in advance!"
"Xiao Cui heard me looking for an excuse to run away again, and she kept following me, so I could only 'borrow' a doll costume from her."
Chao Xi looked at Gu Sanqiu and said, "Xiang Jun, well, I do have a legitimate reason, can you take it into consideration when sentencing me?"
Gu Sanqiu held his forehead with his hand. "Two people can scare you away? Either find an opportunity to meet alone, or just use the excuse of 'ordinary friends' that you used in the past. There's no need to go through so much trouble."
Chao Xi laughed awkwardly twice, and Gu Sanqiu's mouth twitched, and he instantly understood the other party's subtext.
"Tell me, who else is coming?"
"A ship captain I just met not long ago. I heard that she seems to be the sister of a major shareholder of a certain chamber of commerce. She is about three to five years older than me. I spent a lot of effort to make her fall in love with me!"
Yo ho, got it.
Gu Sanqiu laughed: "Captain, even if you are related to the major shareholder, your work ability should not be underestimated."
"In short, it's hard to fool, right?"
Chao Xi nodded his head rapidly: "It would be fine if only two of them came, but after that captain comes, I won't be able to do anything. It will be a disaster!"
"Xiang Zun, you are the guardian of Liyue. I beg you to be kind and save me!"
Screw your guardian, aren’t your girlfriends from Liyue ?
Young Master, why should I protect you?
Gu Sanqiu gritted his teeth. Why did this guy have to fail in his place?
Old Aquaman is suddenly about to be caught in the act. Isn’t this really playing me?
Gu Sanqiu doesn't want any negative news to appear in the event he organized!
This bastard!
As a qualified, even an excellent Aquaman, don't you know that rooftops, amusement parks, commercial streets and other places are frequent locations for hatchet and Shura scenes?
How dare you come here?
If you want to die, don’t die in my place!
Chao Xi noticed that Gu Sanqiu's expression was becoming increasingly gloomy, and he immediately pounced and hugged Gu Sanqiu's thighs.
"Xiang Zun, please be kind and save me!"
"There's no hope. Just wait for death. I hope your hard-to-deceive lover, the captain, won't beat you half to death and then hang you from the keel of the ship with a rope."
"It's unclear whether you will drown or be eaten by sea fish and sea monsters. The way you die will definitely be very interesting. I will open a betting line and make a bet."
Chao Xi became even more panicked, this way of dying sounded horrible!
Gu Sanqiu slapped a coupon on Chao Xi's face and said, "Don't say I didn't take care of you. This is a coupon for the Supreme Emperor Service of the Wangsheng Hall. It's something that many people would beg for but can't get."
"Although you probably won't be able to earn enough money to spend in your lifetime at your age, it will be enough for you to have a grand wedding."
"I'll give you a chance. Each type of puppet costume is stationed in a different area. The Mondstadt-style ones will teach children to sing poems in the style of bards, and the Liyue-style ones will be guessing riddles."
"Which way to run? That's something you have to consider for yourself."
"Get lost."
Chao Xi ran away quickly, but did not forget to take the coupon with him.
Then, by "coincidence", Gu Sanqiu wandered around several girls he "encountered" one after another and sold a piece of information.
There was a person in a doll costume running around in a panic, but now no one knows where he has gone.
"I'll give you a glimmer of hope, but it's only a glimmer."
In fact, to be honest, Gu Sanqiu was really looking forward to seeing Chao Xi being brought to justice.
Lynching by tying someone under the keel is not highly recommended, but it is also a good idea to include tides in textbooks to remind women to be careful of the sweet-talkers around them.
The event continued, and Gu Sanqiu specially searched the venue to ensure that there was no possibility of a second "tidal event" occurring.
If there really is a second one, he will definitely catch both of them together, and then send these bastards to the General Affairs Department for processing.
If the plot really unfolded like this, and if the crime was not punishable by death, he would have wanted to order their humane destruction.
…
Mond, Château Dawn.
Kaia was holding a knife and fork, slowly cutting a piece of tempting-looking animal steak.
Today is another day of slacking off.
Coming to Chenxi Winery is already the limit. If he hadn't found a better reason, he would have wanted to go to Qingce Winery for a visit. He heard that it was very interesting.
"Master Kaiya, would you like some more of the wine that was put into the cellar twenty years ago today?"
Heipi smiled and nodded: "Thank you for the trouble."
Adeline was very content to pour Kaia wine.
That’s right, that’s right!
This is the atmosphere of home!
"I never thought that Master Diluk, who is so busy with his work, would invite me to dinner. I am truly honored."
Diluk put a piece of steak into his mouth and chewed it slowly before speaking.
"I originally wanted to give you a voucher for unlimited drinks that day, but considering that this would raise the pub's operating costs too much, I can only reluctantly treat you to a meal."
"So don't get me wrong, you are not as important as that little bit of operating cost."
Kaia's forehead tensed.
This bastard brother!
Adeline was worthy of being the head maid of the Dawn Winery. She put the wine on a tray and asked the maid to take it to the side. She then took a vase in her arms so that Kaia could see it clearly without turning his head.
"Master Kaiya, this is a gift from the master."
Diluk frowned slightly. “Adeline, I just thought his taste in art was too bad, so I prepared to teach him a lesson.”
Adeline maintained the high-class smile that only a maid could have, put the vase aside, and poured wine for the two brothers.
"About My Master's Overly Hard-Talking"
As the head maid, all she had to do now was keep smiling.
Is it possible to tell the truth?
As a maid, it is absolutely not allowed to speak ill of the master.
Kaeya chuckled and raised his glass to indicate, "This is Master Diluk's lesson. This is something that most people can't enjoy."
"Look at that old-fashioned yet somewhat elegant style. It really suits your style."
Diluk remained aloof: "Well, that's good to know. Even if you are a high-ranking member of the Knights of Favonius, you still have to learn from me."
The two brothers raised their glasses and drank, but they were both tough guys at heart.
No happy birthday or thank you.
