There happened to be a power outage when I got home at night, and the whole villa was pitch black.

I didn't eat anything at first, so I thought I'd come back to eat the chef's cooking. Who knew that the chefs were all on vacation and there was a power outage, so we could only eat air.

Hey, you can’t let yourself go hungry, right?

I used my cell phone's flashlight to walk to the kitchen in the dark. It was pitch black. My hand subconsciously reached out into the darkness, and then I touched something.

I was shocked, and my back was covered in cold sweat.

Could it be! ?

Haunted? ! !

He swallowed and pursed his dry lips.

The flashlight was raised subconsciously, and a human face appeared in front of him.

"Ahhhh~!"

He grabbed something and threw it straight in front of him, followed by a groan.

"Why are you crazy?"

There was a hint of imperceptible anger in his words.

"ah??"

The moment I raised my flashlight and shone it on that face, my heart suddenly dropped.

"Dog man! You are here to scare people!"

Gu Mo was so frightened that he couldn't speak at all, and he held the flashlight in front of Fang Zhixu. The light from the flashlight made Fang Zhixu's eyes completely white.

"Gu Mo, take it away."

Gu Mo took the phone back angrily, "Why are you here?"

"There's a power outage and there's nothing to eat. Come and take a look at the kitchen."

It turns out to be the same as her.

"Since you're here, get me something to eat."

? ? ?

So natural? This level of shamelessness is truly the true legacy of Chen Xue!

"Why?"

"One meal can pay off a debt of 500,000 yuan."

Is she stupid or is Fang Zhixu crazy? Are you willing to pay half a million for a bowl of noodles?

"Okay! You hold the flashlight and I'll do it."

All old and new grudges are not as important as money!

I started boiling water in the dark, washing vegetables, and taking out eggs from the refrigerator.

It was pitch dark and I couldn't see, so I tried to make two bowls of tomato and egg noodles for a while but couldn't get them out.

Fang Zhixu stood motionless behind Gu Mo, holding his mobile phone for lighting. The light illuminated Gu Mo's side face on the kitchen wall. The shadow on the wall made it difficult to see the facial features, but he could clearly see the hazy face. contour.

It's been a long time since I've seen her cooking for him like this. I still remember that two years ago she got him a lunch box. He carried it all the way to the company like a baby. He had a meeting that morning until late at noon, and when he returned to the office But the lunch box was thrown directly into the trash can.

He was so angry that he flew into a rage on the spot.

That day, everyone in the entire company did not dare to show off their dignity when walking. They were interrogated one by one, and finally it was found that the janitor aunt had thrown it away by mistake.

After that, Gu Mo never cooked for him again. If she didn't take the initiative to cook, he would naturally not ask for it.

"Salt."

"Salt!!"

It was only when Gu Mo shouted for salt for the third time that he came to his senses.

"Oh, let me get it for you."

"Hurry up, hurry up, get something and you can still be in a daze."

Gu Mo muttered angrily, and the corners of Fang Zhixu's mouth rose slightly in the darkness.

The salt was placed on the shelf on the far left, but Gu Mo was cutting vegetables on the right. She was afraid that she would not be able to see clearly if the light was far away, so she had no choice but to keep the lighted hand still. She slowly moved to the left and looked around with her hand. Behind Gu Mo, when viewed from the back, it looked like a person hugging him with open arms.

Just after cutting the vegetables, Gu Mo stepped back and accidentally stepped on Fang Zhixu's foot.

When he noticed something strange, he immediately raised his legs, but his center of gravity became unstable and he fell directly into the scent of sandalwood.

Fang Zhixu, who had just finished taking the salt, was hit by someone in his arms. He was a little stunned and immediately lowered his head.

In the darkness, eyes flowed and breaths intertwined.

The tips of the noses touch.

The light reflected on the wall looks like two people kissing.

My heart trembled, and I stepped back repeatedly. In panic, my hands covered the edge of the boiling pot, and a heartbreaking pain hit me.

He took a deep breath, his head throbbing with pain.

A pair of hands immediately covered his shoulders, and he was pulled away from the stove.

"Is it burned?"

Fang Zhixu felt nervous for a while, grabbed Gu Mo's hand and rinsed it under cold water.

"Does it hurt?"

The cold water rushed over the burning wound, causing Gu Mo, who had been briefly addicted to male lust, to wake up instantly.

Retract your hand decisively.

Holding those hands, they froze in the air, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Gu Mo took two steps back, eyes averting.

"I'm fine. The noodles are already cooked. Eat them."

Fang Zhixu's eyes couldn't be seen clearly in the darkness. She only knew that the man would disappear soon after she finished saying these words.

Gu Mo, who was sitting at the dining table, looked at the steaming tomato and egg noodles in front of him. The other side was empty, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Fang Zhixu was just teasing her! I asked her to cook noodles, but she didn't eat them after they were cooked. Just like before, I didn't want to eat what she made from the beginning!

Forget it if you don’t want to eat it! She just happened to eat two bowls!

I brought another bowl of noodles over, and before I started, I heard a sound coming from behind.

"Are you hungry? You don't even know where to wait for me."

The sudden sound frightened Gu Mo to the point where he could barely hold his chopsticks.

"without……"

Before he finished speaking, he felt his hands were cold. The candle on the table shone on the side of Fang Zhixu's face, and he saw the feather-like eyelashes under the dim light.

He lowered his eyes slightly and gently rubbed the back of Gu Mo's hand with his hand.

"Fortunately, the burn is not deep. Applying the medicine a few more times should make it better."

She wanted to retract her hand, but someone seemed to be prepared to hold her wrist, not hurting her but preventing her from escaping.

"Okay, here's the medicine for you, remember to take it on time."

Gu Mo looked away, lowered his head, his face felt warm, and the noodles next to him were taken away.

"It smells pretty good."

The corners of his mouth rose in the darkness, seeming very satisfied.

"My birthday is the day after tomorrow. Remember to arrive on time."

Fang Zhixu took a bite of noodles and nodded with satisfaction.

Gu Mo replied calmly, "Yeah."

Of course, she is going to give him a big gift, it depends on whether he can bear it then!

*

Two days later.

Gu Mo got up early. There was a battle to be fought today, but before the battle she had to meet someone first.

After getting dressed and getting ready to go out, he met Fang Zhixu waiting in the living room downstairs.

"Where are you going so early?"

Wear shoes and explain slowly.

"I bought something for my mother for your birthday today. Now I'm going out to pick it up. Then I'll go directly to the birthday party venue."

"Then remember the time and leave early and come back early."

"good."

After the door closed, Fang Zhixu looked down at the tablet in his hand, but his mind kept thinking about the gift Gao Cheng mentioned before, and he didn't know what it was like.

After straightening his clothes and getting up from his seat, Gao Cheng quickly followed behind.

"Gao Cheng, let's go."

"yes."

Outside the door was the car that Gu Mo had just driven out, and soon he arrived at the place he had agreed with Xie Xun.

"WE treasure, here."

After a period of recovery, Xie Xun's energy improved a lot, and he returned to his usual lazy look.

With blond hair and blue eyes, even if he was sitting in the most inconspicuous corner of the cafe, Gu Mo could still notice him as soon as he walked in.

Xie Xun himself is a being that no one can ignore, and we can understand why Fang Zhexu always regards him as his enemy.

I pulled up my seat and sat down. There was a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice in front of me. I picked up the glass and took a few sips in a good mood.

Xie Xun leaned lazily on the back of the chair, holding a box with his fingertips and slowly pushing it towards Gu Mo.

"Here, what you want."

Chen Xue asked her for purple tears before, but she searched the whole city A and no one knew about it. In the end, she had to ask Xie Xun for help.

"As expected of the young master of the Xie family."

Swallowing the juice into his throat, he hurriedly put Zi Lei in his hand, opened it and looked at it. After observing it for a long time, he didn't see anything strange about Zi Lei.

“Why can’t I find this thing in City A?”

"Who knows, maybe it's monopolized by a big jewelry company."

"Anyway, I got the stuff, and the help you asked me to do has been completed."

Xie Xun's eyelids dropped and he yawned gracefully, "By the way, I picked this thing for you from a pile. It has a red pattern in the middle, which makes it prettier than the others."

“But no matter how beautiful it is, it’s not expensive.”

Being monopolized, the price is still not expensive? why is that?

Gu Mo couldn't think of anything in his mind for a long time, so he simply didn't bother to think about it and put the things in his bag.

"Thank you anyway, just wait and see my good show today!"

Xie Xun twitched the corner of his mouth, "What do I think? Fang Zhixu didn't invite me! However, all those present today are some partners of the Fang family. You want to show Fang Zhixu's face in front of so many people? Are the consequences good?"

Gu Mo's face darkened, "Since Fang Zhixu wants to protect Xia Li, then I will make it impossible for him to do so!"

"If you dare to kidnap me, you must pay a price, and I have basically determined that what happened two years ago was related to Charlie."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xun immediately dissipated his laziness, stood up and looked at Gu Mo seriously.

"you sure?"

Gu Mo held the cup in his hand and turned it slowly, "When I was kidnapped, the kidnapper who escaped said that what happened two years ago was related to him. Two years later, I was kidnapped again. There is only one thing in common between the two incidents. point."

Xie Xun's eyes were gloomy, "Charlie is involved in both things."

"But Charlie's donkey brain must not have thought of such a meticulous plan. There must be a bigger pair of hands behind it to help."

Gu Mo's eyes darkened, "It's just that there is no evidence to prove it yet, we still need to find out."

He took another sip of orange juice and sighed heavily.

"Let's not talk about this first. I have to leave first. The show is about to begin. How can I, the protagonist, be late?!"

Get your bag and stand up slowly.

"etc."

Xie Xun still looked that lazy, tapping his fingers on the table twice.

"What? What else is going on?"

"Don't worry, I will park the car outside and wait for you. If the Fang family is really in trouble, just give me a call and I will rush in with someone."

The last knock on the table was so hard that it made my fingertips numb.

"Anyway, I have been displeased with the Fang family for a long time."

He raised his eyelids, feeling like a scoundrel.

"Anyway, my Xie family is not afraid of the Fang family."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you pay for this coffee, this young master comes out to eat for free."

Gu Mo sneered helplessly, "Okay, thank you, young master!"

"The last little bit of candy, Shura Chang's birthday party is about to begin!~
