Volume 3 Winter Solstice Chapter 63: Deception
Tang Butian nodded slightly, then she used the wooden sword as a crutch and slowly walked towards the store.
Jiang You watched her walk up the stairs. He sighed, "Sword cultivators have good physiques."
Then he squatted down and looked at Jiang Mo at eye level, "Have you found out what's special about her ?"
Jiang Mo shook his head.
"Why does Zhuang Zekun think she can kill that Mingshen? It's a bit unscientific." Jiang You reached out and touched Jiang Mo's hair, then yawned, "I don't want to think about it anymore. Do you want to have dinner together?"
He picked up Jiang Mo, walked a few steps to the west, and sat down on the swing. Through the glass, the greenhouse was full of greenery, but there were a few dead leaves floating in the pond. After admiring the scenery in the yard for a while, Jiang You took out his mobile phone and replied to Guan Nuo.
Jiang You: I’m in the store, let’s meet and chat.
More than ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
"I'm coming." Jiang You stood up from the swing, walked to the gate of the yard, stretched out his hand and opened the door.
When Guan Nuo saw Jiang You, he hesitated for a moment.
Jiang You spoke first. He said, "I just got up and haven't had lunch yet. Have you had lunch?"
"I have eaten."
Jiang You moved aside, and after Guan Nuo walked in, he pushed the door of the yard closed again.
"Come and see my flower seedlings," Jiang You took Guan Nuo to the edge of the flower bed. "It rained so hard a few days ago and it was so cold. I was worried that the roots would rot. But when I came back, I saw that they are growing better than before. After March, they will bloom one after another."
"Very good." Guan Nuo agreed. He turned his head and saw Jiang Mo sitting on the swing. "Didn't he eat either?"
"He's already eaten. I'll order some takeout later," Jiang You walked to the camphor tree and plucked off two leaves. He then walked back to the swing and picked up Jiang Mo. Then he greeted Guan Nuo while walking toward the store, "Come in and sit down. The sun isn't shining so brightly anymore. It's a bit cold."
"Well, okay..." Guan Nuo looked around, then turned around and followed Jiang You into the store.
After putting down the minced ginger, Jiang You walked into the kitchen. Not long after, he brought out two cups of black tea. He placed one of the cups in front of Guan Nuo, "Drink some hot tea. In this kind of weather, you should turn on the air conditioner and eat some junk food." He took out his phone, "There are a lot of activities recently. Look, McDonald's three-person meal is 40% off for takeout now. Let's take this," he asked while placing the order, "Aren't you going out to play with your classmates on Saturday?"
"I don't think it's interesting." Guan Nuo said.
"I have a college classmate who's going to be a father soon," Jiang You put his phone on the long table. He took a sip of tea and looked at Guan Nuo. "I went to his wedding last year..." He turned around and saw Jiang Mo curled up in the soft chair behind the counter. Familiar game music sounded. "Don't stare at the phone screen all the time. You'll hurt your eyes and regret it later."
"What game is he playing?" Guan Nuo asked.
"I'm not sure either. One of my tenants, whose company developed it, gave me a link to the internal test."
Guan Nuo stood up, walked to Jiang Mo, and looked at the picture on the phone screen. "This is..." He took a closer look, "Is it "West Wind Moon", the martial arts mobile game?"
"You know?" Jiang You asked.
"It seems to be open for public testing soon. I saw a pre-order in the app store a few days ago," Guan Nuo stood up straight and walked back. "It seems to be quite expensive."
"Krypton gold?"
Guan Nuo nodded and sat down. "The games released by Xiuding Company are all very pay-to-win. They are in internal testing now, so the mall may not be opened yet."
Tang Butian walked out of the bathroom.
She saw a transparent water cup on the workbench, with two camphor leaves floating in the cup and a few wisps of hot air rising from the surface of the cup.
She walked over to the workbench and reached for the glass of water.
A hint of green drifted out from the leaves, and then the two leaves seemed to explode from the middle, turning into tiny green particles, and the water in the cup began to boil.
She heard Jiang You and Guan Nuo chatting. After listening for a while, she tilted her head back and drank the smoking green water in the cup. After putting the cup down, she slowly put on her coat.
A little color gradually appeared on his cheeks.
She picked up the wooden sword and walked down.
"I don't play, my classmates do. Nowadays, all games are scams. I like playing basketball..." Guan Nuo heard footsteps, he stopped talking, turned his head and looked in the direction of the stairs. He saw Tang Butian, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes, "Section Chief? Why are you here?"
"Yeah." Tang Butian hummed and walked downstairs.
She saw the long table filled with McDonald's boxes.
Jiang You was holding a half-eaten chicken wing in his hand, his mouth was covered in grease, and he said, "Do you want to eat? I ordered a lot."
Tang Butian looked at their seats. She walked over and sat down next to Jiang You. She took a piece of chicken from the small box and took a bite.
"I've been wanting to ask you this." Jiang You's gaze moved to Guan Nuo's face.
"What?" Guan Nuo looked a little nervous.
"Is the Qingguo Children's Basketball Club still recruiting students?"
“Yes.”
"My friend told me that her daughter is in junior high school. She said there is a boy in her daughter's class who has a very good physique. He has been playing basketball since he was a child." Jiang You threw the bones into the bag and wiped . "My son's physique is not good, and the club is full of people of the same age. If he spends more time with them, his personality will become more cheerful."
He grabbed Tang Butian's drooping left wrist, pressed his greasy fingers on her pulse, and then let go.
Tang Butian lowered his eyes.
"Qingguo is very good, it has been run for many years, I learned there when I was a kid," he looked at Jiang Mo, "I just need to talk to Teacher Duan."
"Thank you for your help."
"No, no, Brother Jiang, you have been helping me..." Guan Nuo glanced at Tang Butian and added, "And Brother Sun and the section chief."
"Let's call Sun Yu to have dinner together. If you want to treat us, why don't you wait until the internship is over?" Jiang You drank an iced Coke. He took out his phone and found Brother Sun. "The next time we get together will probably be after the New Year. Section Chief, can this expense be reimbursed? We're having a department party?"
"No." Tang Butian took a hamburger box, opened it, picked up the hamburger with both hands, and took a bite.
When chewing, my cheeks feel a little puffy.
Guan Nuo stole another glance at her.
"If I don't go to learn basketball, how many days a week can I learn?"
"Three times a week." Guan Nuo replied.
Jiang You dipped his fries in ketchup. His phone vibrated and he took a look. "Sun Yu replied to me. He said to let him know after he decides on a location and he'll go directly there," he repeated and turned to look at Tang Butian. "What do you think of the Cantonese restaurant you ate at last time?"
Tang Butian thought for a moment and said, "Truffle vermicelli tastes great."
"Then let's go with this one," Jiang You sent the name and address of the restaurant to Sun Yu. He looked at Guan Nuo and continued, "I still have to run the store, and I can still find time to pick you up. If you want to accompany me the whole time..."
"Let me do it. I've often been there to help before."
"How can that be so embarrassing."
"It's okay, it's okay..." Guan Nuo had been monitoring for many days and finally found a breakthrough. He said positively: "Colleagues should help each other."
