Zhou Jinru quietly moved his eyes away and looked at Wen Yue and Xiao Lin. The three of them were talking and laughing calmly, as if they didn't see anyone stealing apples at all.
"The people from the academy will arrive tonight. I'm still thinking about how to deal with them."
Wenyue held her head with one hand and seemed to have a headache.
Zhou Jinru thought to himself that the academy in the Eastern Kingdom was so difficult to deal with that even Wei Yanwu couldn't deal with it casually.
He glanced to the other side of the coffee table and saw a half-grown little girl with short gray hair secretly looking at a few people. She backed away cautiously, hiding her hands behind her back. When she retreated to the door, she turned around and ran away, for fear of being discovered.
After she left, Wenyue smiled awkwardly and said: "Thank you everyone for helping me act out this scene. Xiaota is a good child. She is just playing games."
Xiao Lin Zongxin frowned slightly: "This child is..."
"She is very important to Yanwu, and that is enough."
Zhou Jinru secretly thought in his heart, it turned out that this was Tallulah when she was a child. He didn't expect that the tyrant had such a naughty side. Wouldn't it be very fulfilling to quietly steal an apple in front of the guests?
She had not been taken away by Cosiche in 1077. I don’t know what the trigger was that led to this happening. Maybe if she had stayed in Longmen, everything would have been different.
In the past nearly a hundred years, Zhou Jinru has made attempts to change history more than once, but every time in the end, he has changed from the person who changed history to the initiator of that history. Now he wants to have any Will be very careful in every move.
"My place is very safe, so Yanwu put the two children with me, and they were playing inside. Anyway, I can't have dinner with you. I'm sorry. I will make it up to you if I have the chance in the future."
"Your Highness, you don't have to be like this. We are not the kind of people who pay special attention to formalities. It would be nice to see you safe."
As Linlang spoke, he looked at Zhou Jinru: "This fourth gentleman is the guard I recommended to you. His true strength is still higher than that of Lin. I think even the immortals from the academy may not be able to defeat him."
"so smart?"
Wen Yue exclaimed.
Zhou Jinru didn't know how powerful the so-called immortal was. He didn't dare to exaggerate, but he couldn't lose face in front of Xiaolin and his wife. Besides, could he be stronger than the Deep Sea God?
He remained silent and acquiesced to Linlang's description.
Wenyue didn't believe it at first, but when she thought about the true identities of Xiaolin and his wife, how could their friends be mediocre people? Birds of a feather flock together, and ordinary people can't stand the eyes of monsters. I believe it eighty percent.
"Princess Wenyue, how much commission do you plan to pay me?"
Zhou Jinru asked for money as soon as he opened his mouth. The purpose was to dispel Wen Yue's concerns. Only those who ask for something will complete their work seriously.
"Since you know my identity, the reward will definitely be big afterwards."
"Okay, do we need to sign a contract?"
Wenyue opened her mouth slightly. She didn't expect Mr. Fourth to ask such a question. She couldn't help but look at Xiaolin and his wife, as if asking where did you find such old-fashioned people?
"This is the kind of person he is. Otherwise, if you sign a contract with us, we are signing a contract with him, and everyone can rest assured."
At this point, Wen Yue couldn't help but hold her forehead and sighed: "I always feel that if you make a game, I will still have to jump in."
Linlang was helpless and laughed together: "Anyway, the contract is just a formality. Mr. Four is definitely worth his money."
"Then let's do this for now. Mr. Fourth will come here tonight and I will help you get a new identity."
Wen Yue had previously said that they would not be allowed to eat. She said these words now, undoubtedly hoping that they would leave as soon as possible.
But Linlang seemed to have something else to do, so Wen Yue spoke first: "Oh, Linlang, I will give you what you want, but you also have to give me some time, right?"
…
When leaving the Champs-Élysées, Zhou Jinru suppressed the urge to see little Tallulah and little Chen Huijie. He knew that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him at this moment, including the Yan Kingdom and the Eastern Kingdom, and maybe even Ursus was secretly peeping. , Furthermore, Xiaolin and his wife had a guaranteed deal, at least they couldn't let their friends lose face.
"Oh, you two sold me for a good price."
"You can't say that. Well, whatever you want, as long as we can protect Princess Wenyue, we will find a way for you. Let me declare in advance that if you want your old friend, then please solve it yourself. "
Zhou Jinru discovered that Kelxi was really his Achilles heel. Every time Linlang carried someone out, he had no choice but to give in.
"Kelsey and I are serious friends, not at all like you two living together as a married couple."
Ms. Wolper couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Fourth, this seriousness you are talking about, how serious is it?"
"It's very serious, so serious that I can't do anything about it."
Kobayashi Zongxin, who has been acting as a backdrop, said: "Actually, the differences between you are quite big. I think not being together is the right choice. Two people with different ideals and beliefs can easily have differences, but you are both excellent. , it is almost impossible to persuade the other party to obey your will, and you might even become your enemy."
Zhou Jinru pinched his chin thoughtfully: "You mean, I have to find another middleman to act as lubricant, and then the three of us can be together?"
"I seem to have heard something terrible..."
Linlang opened her eyes wide, as if it was the first day she met him.
Zhou Jinru waved his hand: "I'm just kidding, don't worry, this is impossible."
…
The car drove all the way back to their temporary residence. When they parted, Xiaolin and his wife said that due to identity issues, he could only go to the Champs Elysees alone at night. As for the reward, there was no need to worry.
There was only a tiny bit of time left in the morning, and it was almost noon. The sun was scorching above my head, emitting light and heat to its fullest, wishing it could evaporate every bit of water.
"You really shouldn't go out when it's so hot."
Murata Shigeru came out to fetch water in the scorching sun, holding an enamel basin with despair on his face.
He just walked downstairs and saw Zhou Jinru. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Fourth, are you back?"
"I went to eat, have you eaten?"
"I've eaten. The food at the restaurant is pretty good and delicious."
"OK."
Zhou Jinru looked in the direction Murata Shigeru pointed, and saw a large photo hanging at the door of the shop. It was already noon, and the shop was almost crowded with helpers coming in and out to bring food, making it very lively.
An old man and a young man were sitting at the long table and bench at the door. The dry little old man was wearing a straw hat and was engrossed in his meal. He was snoring and making soup and rice grains all over the table.
The young man sitting opposite him had a pair of bowls and chopsticks placed in front of his table, and he only moved them slightly but did not touch them.
