soul collector

Jiang Qiao and Xiao Xiaoxiu were rushed back to the bedroom together. Across a door, there was the sound of running water and the sound of pots and bowls colliding in the kitchen. Without looking, Jiang Qiao could imagine the scene of his ancestor resolutely cleaning up the mess.

The stupid dog had already come and fell down on his feet, and the dog's stomach was so heavy that Jiang Qiao felt that his feet were firmly pressed to the ground by a bag of cement, and he couldn't move.He tried to twitch but failed, so he could only resign himself to his fate by keeping one foot on the ground and lying on his back on the bed.

The development of this matter deviated a bit from what he had imagined.

He imagined that he told Tang Xiu about participating in the show, and Tang Xiu would be moved by his meticulous preparation.Then he prepared a specialty dish with all his heart, and surprised everyone with his skills on the show. Tang Xiu ate happily, and by the way, he received a wave of blessings and envy from fans and friends.

But in fact, when he told Tang Xiu the matter carefully and full of expectations, Tang Xiu was shocked at first, and then threw out "Are you crazy?" After confirming that he was not joking, he rolled his eyes and sighed.

And now, he set half the house on fire again, Tang Xiu put him under house arrest in the bedroom, and cleaned up the mess by himself outside.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiao sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Hey."

The back of his feet went numb, and Xiaoxiu, who was about to fall asleep, stood up abruptly, looking at Jiang Qiao with a doggy face.

——what's the matter with you?

— a little depressed.

--Oh.

Jiang Qiao looked at Gouzi speechlessly, yawned unconscionably, moved to another place, and then lay down to sleep. Suddenly, he felt a little empty in his little heart.Hearing the sound from the kitchen, he couldn't help but take out his phone, and after pondering for a long time, he sent a text message to Tang Xiu.

"Don't be busy, I miss you a little bit."

After ten seconds, the sound from the kitchen paused.

After another ten seconds, the voice from the kitchen resumed, and Jiang Qiao received a reply.

——"Aren't you mentally ill???"

Once again a heavy sigh came from the empty room.This time, even the dog who was lying on the ground remained indifferent, and the rhythm of the trembling ears did not change.

Silent night.

When Tang Xiu fell asleep, he felt that his side was always swaying, swaying back and forth, and the mattress moved accordingly.At first, he subconsciously thought it was Xiao Xiaoxiu, but when he turned over, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Xiao Xiaoxiu had bid farewell to under the bed forever because of his oversized body about half a year ago, so what is it that is bumping around?

Tang Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, and when he turned his head abruptly, he saw Jiang Qiao looking at him sadly with wide open eyes.

——At that moment, Tang Xiu really wished that the dim night light was not turned on in this room.If it was a dark environment, he could pretend he didn't see anything, turn over and go back to sleep.

The old ancestor sighed softly and calmed down, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Qiao muttered softly, "The steak you fried tonight is really delicious."

Tang Xiu was a little surprised when he heard the words, "Just because of this? Are you not full? I'll fry another piece for you?" He was about to throw off the quilt and go to the ground as he spoke. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he was still a little dizzy. I didn't really understand what Jiang Qiao was doing. According to common sense, he should be full after eating a large piece of beef at night, but he suddenly praised him for the well-fried steak in the middle of the night, which can only be understood as being hungry again... Bar……?

Before he could find the slippers, Jiang Qiao grabbed him from behind and continued to mutter, "I'm full, I just want to chat with you."

"Chat?" Tang Xiu woke up a little bit. He lay back on the bed suspiciously, took out his mobile phone and pointed at the screen and said, "Two forty in the morning."

"I know." Jiang Qiao's voice sounded aggrieved, "My heart is empty."

"why?"

"I don't know, it's just empty."

"..." The ancestor put down his phone, took a deep breath, and was about to say something when Jiang Qiao lowered his eyes, looked at the quilt and said in a low voice, "I've lived for so long, and I've never woken up in the middle of the night feeling empty. .”

"Really?" Tang Xiu's voice sounded quite calm, "Then you have lived for so long, have you ever been beaten when you woke up in the middle of the night?"

"……nor."

The old ancestor smiled very generously, "So, don't try things you haven't done before, I'm thinking of you, go to sleep."

The bedroom returned to calm again. After a while, Tang Xiu was about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard a sigh from beside him.

"What's wrong?" He asked through gritted teeth.

Jiang Qiao didn't deliberately pretend to be wronged this time, but said in a low voice, "What can you get if you stay with me?"

"Ah?" Tang Xiu was startled, opened his eyes and looked at him, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Qiao sighed and patted his hands, "I see experts say that if two people want to be together for a long time, they must both get something from each other. For example, in the classic relationship between men and women, the man gets the favor from the woman. The satisfaction of dependence, women find a sense of admiration in men, but I thought about it carefully all night, my baby is so beautiful and has no desires, it seems that this kind of relationship with me cannot be formed..."

Tang Xiu was silent for a long time when he heard the words, and frowned, "Expert said... which expert?"

Jiang Qiao was silent.

"Didn't you go online to read some love strategy blog again?"

Jiang Qiao was silent again.

Tang Xiu felt his eyes darken, and almost ran away, "I really convinced you. You are a soul collector, even if your qualifications are still low, you should stop trusting those love books. I beg you, okay? "

After struggling for a long time, Jiang Qiao said, "It's not impossible, but you have to get something from me, so I can rest assured."

Tang Xiu felt that his nerves were on the verge of exploding. He had to rely on reciting Buddhist scriptures silently in his heart to control the urge to cripple the person around him. He asked patiently, "Then tell me, what do you want me to gain?"

Jiang Qiao didn't hesitate this time, "The taste of the stars, I don't want to change places with you, I still want to be in charge."

Tang Xiu, "..."

Jiang Qiao tried his best to ignore the expression of his ancestor who was about to roll up his sleeves and hit someone, and immediately said, "I just want to cook a good meal for you, so that you know that I am also working hard to run this family, and let everyone I know, even if you withdraw from this circle, you will be very happy with me."

"I will practice very hard, there are still several days left, you trust me once, okay?"

"..."

Tang Xiu didn't know what was going on, he originally wanted to hit someone, but that guy suddenly looked at him very seriously, which made him not only unable to do it, but also a little bit unable to bear to refute.

After a long time, the ancestor rolled his eyes in his heart, and said with a long sigh: "As you please, anyway, I quit the circle, it doesn't matter if I lose face or not."

Jiang Qiao immediately beamed with joy, "It's okay, the program team didn't designate a match, if I fail, you just pretend you don't know me and it's over."

"Ah."

"You promised?"

"..."

"Baby?"

"I agree, I agree." Tang Xiu turned over speechlessly, pulled the quilt to his side, closed his eyes and muttered speechlessly, "I'm so convinced."

Jiang Qiao giggled twice behind him, took the initiative to send more quilts, and carefully hugged his waist, "Baby, you are so kind, you are indeed a baby of ten thousand years."

"...If you don't sleep anymore, you are really not far from being beaten."

"Sleep, sleep, I'm going to sleep now, good night baby!"

"..."

"Good night baby?"

"Good night, good night! I'm so convinced."

The next day, Tang Xiu and Jiang Qiao received the process confirmation from the program team. Jiang Qiao's name was still in the column of "Star Chef", and Tang Xiu's name was in the column of "Star Eater".

As soon as Tang Xiu looked up, he saw Jiang Qiao carefully watching his expression.He sighed and said, "If I promise you, I won't go back on my word. I have no objection. You can take a look."

Jiang Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, then I'll start practicing this afternoon. Well, you have the key to the opposite door. This week, it's hard work for you to live in the opposite door for a week."

"?"

"I need more personal time to prepare, and I also hope to keep a surprise for you."

"..." Tang Xiu looked at Jiang Qiao with thunderous eyes, thinking in his heart that this nice person is really crazy if he talks about it.

Tang Xiu originally thought that Jiang Qiao just set up a flag on a whim, so he moved to the opposite door with a sneer, ready to open the door to accept someone begging him to go home.But he didn't expect that Jiang Qiao seemed to be quite serious this time.

For two whole days, Jiang Qiao didn't even call him except good morning and good night.The opposite door ping-pong-pong-pong every day does not know how many pots in the house were blown up. Jiang Qiao only sees all kinds of courier boys and takeaway boys who deliver fresh food every day when he does not leave the gate. Send it home the same way.

Tang Xiu thought to himself, how much money was wasted.The big director really has money to burn.

On the fifth day, Tang Xiu couldn't resist contacting Jiang Qiao's assistant, and got a series of innocent answers.

——"Ah? The director? Didn't he say he was going to rest at home for a week? Isn't he with you?"

——"He has no schedule this week. Since he decided to participate in the taste of the stars, he has emptied his previous schedule."

——"I really didn't look for me recently, he also gave me a vacation, and I didn't start work until the day when Taste of the Stars was broadcast live."

——"The two of you are not having any conflicts, are you? Why are you asking me?"

Tang Xiu was so choked up by the assistant who didn't know what to ask, he silently hung up the phone.He walked around the living room twice, and couldn't help but walk to the door, leaning against the door to listen to the sound of the opposite door.

Strange to say, from last night to now, the other side seems to be quiet.

Couldn't that guy have poisoned himself to death... Or was the smoke index in the room too high, so he was suffocated to death?

After thinking about several possibilities, the ancestor Wannian suddenly became a little uneasy. He hesitated and opened the door. He was about to ring the doorbell on the opposite side when he heard a familiar footstep coming from inside.

Tang Xiu paused, and a second later the door was opened from the inside, and Jiang Qiao came out with a smile, and when he looked up and saw him, he waved his hand in surprise, "Hello baby, I haven't seen you for a few days, it's okay ?"

"It's...ok..." Tang Xiu looked at him suspiciously, he had good arms and legs, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with him.He glanced into the room through the gap between him and the door frame. The room was bright and clean, and it didn't look like it was after the nuclear war broke out.

Jiang Qiao laughed and said, "I'm ready. Tomorrow's show, I'll definitely leave you stunned."
