The protagonists in the book all resent me for breaking

There was silence outside the door for a few minutes, and then Jiang Xian heard Chi Luoxi pick up the key and go out.

It's getting dark, where is that guy going?

Jiang Xian opened the door, and the living room, which was darkened by the sunset, was deserted, only the faint sandalwood scent left on Chi Luoxi's body indicated the fact that he had indeed just left here.

Hey... A fox is a fox, and after two days of pretending, it shows its tail again.

Jiang Xian turned on the light, and the warm orange light enveloped the entire living room, but it couldn't dispel the discomfort and silence of suddenly being alone.

In order to divert his attention, he began to compile his own menu for tonight.

Just as he walked out of the kitchen holding a plate of golden-red braised pork ribs overflowing with meat, Chi Luoxi came back again.

Jiang Xian stared at him: "Why are you back?"

Chi Luoxi looked puzzled: "This is my house, where will I go if I don't come back?"

As he spoke, he took the plate from Jiang Xian, and stuffed a paper bag into his hand.

"What is this?" Jiang Xian opened the paper bag in doubt, took out the small box inside, his eyes lit up in surprise and said in an instant: "Chocolate lava cake!... You just went out to buy this?"

"Hmm..." Chi Luoxi's expression showed a rare embarrassment: "Aren't you angry, I think you will be happy when you see this."

Jiang Xian really likes to eat chocolate-flavored pastries, but he remembers that he never told Chi Luoxi about it.

"Don't think you can calm me down with two small cakes." Jiang Xian put the cake in the refrigerator: "Do I look like someone who has no position and can be bought off casually?"

Chi Luoxi smiled: "Aren't you?"

Jiang Xian asked himself...it seemed to be true, but he wasn't very angry with Chi Luoxi at first.

"Forget it." Jiang Xian said: "My lord has a lot, I don't have the same knowledge as you, let's eat."

Sitting down at the dining table, just as Chi Luoxi picked up a piece of ribs and took a bite, his whole face immediately wrinkled up. Jiang Xian watched him want to vomit, but felt that it was impolite to vomit, so he swallowed the pain forcefully. He looked worried for a while.

"You made this?" Chi Luoxi put down his chopsticks, and twisted his two black eyebrows into a knot.

"It's not so bad, is it? I think the color and aroma are good." Jiang Xian said, reaching out to pick and taste.

"Don't eat it." Chi Luoxi slapped the chopsticks before he caught them, and the other party looked serious: "This rib is poisonous."

"Why is it poisonous!" Jiang Xian said unhappily. After finishing speaking, he picked a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. Within a second, he spat it out with a "wow".

"Is this pork ribs?" Jiang Xian looked at the attractive color, but it tasted like beef tendon, salty and sweet, with a peculiar taste. No, it was an indescribably unpalatable short rib. confidence.

"I told you not to eat it." Chi Luoxi looked at the other two dishes Jiang Xian fried, moved his chopsticks, and finally mustered up the courage to pick a vegetable leaf and chewed it in his mouth: "Vegetarian dishes It still tastes pretty good.”

"Oh." Jiang Xian poked the ribs in the bowl with his chopsticks wearily: "I obviously didn't cook like this before."

Chi Luoxi didn't speak, just brought the ribs in front of her, picked up another piece and ate it under Jiang Xian's dumbfounded gaze.

"Hey, you..."

"Actually, it's not that bad." Chi Luoxi pinched his face lightly, and added: "Really."

……

The resort that Jiang Xian got a free experience this time is on an island in the middle of Huofeng Lake. Before it was developed, there were many wild maple trees on that small island.

Every autumn, standing on the shore, you can see the whole island is red, like a continuous fire, which is where the name of Huofeng Lake comes from.

At the beginning of October, it is a good time to enjoy maple leaves. During this holiday, you can go out to play without having to see scenic spots in a sea of ​​people. It is simply wonderful.

In the morning, Jiang Xian carried his and Chi Luoxi's simple luggage packed last night, and the two headed to Huofeng Lake together.

When they arrived, there were already two people waiting at the assembly point.

Parked by the lake behind the two of them is a gorgeous painting boat. The vermilion hull is matched with a bright yellow four-corner pavilion-shaped boat canopy. The color is gorgeous without losing the ancient charm.

Seeing the two approaching, one of the middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes greeted them. Behind the man was a tall, short-haired beauty in a dark gray professional suit and a pair of white-rimmed glasses.

The man is of medium build. He first checked the invitation coupon Jiang Xian handed him, then smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "You two came on time. I am the person in charge of the Huxin Island Resort in Huofeng Lake. My name is Zhu Qianzhang."

Jiang Xian shook hands with him, and introduced himself politely: "My name is Zhang Chenrui, and I'm a college student. This is my friend..."

"Chi Luoxi." Without waiting for Jiang Xian's introduction, Chi Luoxi spoke coldly by himself, and directly ignored Zhu Qianzhang's hand stretched out in front of him.

Perhaps it was because Chi Luoxi's attitude was too repulsive, Zhu Qianzhang's face was a little uneasy, he withdrew his hand embarrassingly, but he was in the service industry anyway, just for a moment, he changed the subject with a smile, and introduced the beautiful woman behind him To them: "She is my secretary, Liu Sai'e. If you two have any opinions or suggestions about the island in the future, you can tell her."

Liu Sai'e nodded: "Welcome both of you."

At this moment, a female voice with a very impatient tone came from not far away: "I said I was going to Tahiti for vacation, but you insisted on dragging me to some crappy resort in this city. What good place can there be here? Look at the boat parked by the lake, that color, that style, it's so low that I can't see it!"

When everyone turned their heads, they saw a young woman with wavy blond hair and heavy smoky makeup, complaining endlessly to the man following her.

The woman is wearing a grandma's black lace embroidered diamond-studded dress, paired with pink patent leather lace-up platform shoes, and the luxury goods that have always followed the high-end route have just worn the effect of street stalls on her.

And next to her is a tall man with a good figure, but that man is helping her carry the bag now, with a submissive smile on his face, like a pug, his originally handsome face is full of pimples. Flattery.

Jiang Xian clicked his tongue, how dare he complain about the boat on the lake just because of the aesthetics?

Although Jiang Xian does not agree with the woman's taste, but from her high-spirited appearance, a discerning person can tell at a glance that the family has mines in eight out of ten, and she is a master who is not easy to offend.

Zhu Qianzhang immediately changed his face, and greeted Jiang Xian and the others ten times more enthusiastically than when he received Jiang Xian and the others.

Liu Sai'e behind him frowned in disgust, but that expression lasted less than [-] second before changing back to a professional smile and followed.

The woman over there complained endlessly, and the voices of a group of people chattering came intermittently. Jiang Xian crossed his arms and crossed his chest, looked up at Chi Luoxi, and said with a wry smile: "I thought I didn't need to go to the crowd to see the scenery, and I picked up a good deal. But now it seems that this free vacation is not going to be easy."

It was almost eleven o'clock when the few people over there finally coaxed the eldest lady to get on the boat.

The interior decoration of the painting boat is also very exquisite. The patterns of coiling dragons and auspicious clouds are carved on the boat pillars. The dragon body is painted gold, and the layers are patchwork.

This was Jiang Xian's first time on a painting boat, and he couldn't help but look around curiously. It wasn't until he was near the stern that he realized that there was already a person sitting on the boat.

It was a man who looked less than forty, with long curly wool-like hair tied behind his head, but he still looked disheveled, his cheeks were thin, his chin was covered with blue stubble, and he looked a little decadent.

He was wearing an old but clean white shirt, washed white jeans, a canvas bag at his feet, and an easel. He looked like a painter.

He just casually glanced at the people coming up on the boat, and then cast his eyes on the lake again, as if everything that happened on the boat had nothing to do with him.

There was a rattling sound of the motor, and the boat left the shore of the lake and began to sail towards the island in the middle of the lake.

Ten minutes later, the boat docked, and a group of people disembarked one after another.

There is a wooden plank road behind the pier, and there is a lotus-shaped lamp holder every three meters on the guardrail of the plank road, winding and extending towards the center of the island.

The island in the center of the lake retains a lot of its original state. There are maple forests on both sides of the plank road. The maple leaves are like blood and fire, shining dazzlingly in the sun. From time to time, leaves fall from the treetops, like a bloody gnat with broken wings The butterfly fell into the corpses of its companions under the tree in a poignant posture, making a soft rustling sound.

The entire resort seems to be mainly built in an ancient style, and some small buildings or decorations full of ancient charm can be seen from time to time along the way, which makes Jiang Xian feel as if he has strayed into the world of martial arts.

After a group of people walked along the plank road for more than ten minutes, a small antique building appeared in front of everyone, with bluestone walls, cornices and brackets, and an extraordinary momentum.

In front of the small building is a garden with rockery pavilions, and further away is surrounded by maple forests.

Zhu Qianzhang explained the layout of the island to everyone with a smile. Before he could say a few words, he was interrupted by the young woman who had never had a good face all the way: "After walking for so long, I am tired and hungry. I still need to listen to you." Talking nonsense, Miss Ben is tired and needs to rest."

No matter how good Zhu Qianzhang's professionalism was, his smile froze when he was bullied like this. After a while, he winked at Liu Sai'e and said, "Since everyone is tired, let's go back to the room to rest for a while. Secretary Liu will give you the keys to your room, and the waiter will take you to the room. I will immediately order the kitchen to prepare lunch, and we will eat and chat later..."

"Who wants to eat and chat with you poor ghosts!" Before Zhu Qianzhang could finish his sentence, the woman interrupted him rudely again: "Take the meal to my room later."

After finishing speaking, he walked into the small building first, and when he passed by Chi Luoxi, he rubbed against him unintentionally, stuffed a small note into his coat pocket calmly, and winked again .

Chi Luoxi frowned at the pungent perfume.

And the man who looked at her with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes quickly showed an apologetic smile to everyone, and followed step by step.

Zhu Qianzhang opened his mouth as if he had been stuffed with an egg, watched the woman disappear into the corner of the corridor, and then smiled embarrassingly: "Then the remaining three are free, if you don't want to eat in the restaurant, you can also use the internal line to ask the waiter Send the lunch to the room. There is a brochure of our Huxin Island Resort in Huofeng Lake. You can read it and familiarize yourself with the terrain. If you have any questions, you can come to room [-] or [-] to find me and Liu Secretary. Finally, I wish you all a pleasant experience and memories during the five-day trip, and I hope you will give our resort more praise and promotion after you leave.”

After entering the small building, Jiang Xian and the others chose a room on the second floor to the north, and when they opened the wooden windows, they could see a whole fiery red maple forest.

Although the appearance and decoration of the small building are all retro, the internal facilities are still very modern, and all kinds of home appliances are available in the small suite. The combination of classic and modern is very harmonious, and it does not seem obtrusive. It took a lot of effort.

After packing up the salute, Jiang Xian came to Chi Luoxi's side and nudged him: "What did the rich second generation put in your pocket just now?"

Chi Luoxi raised her hands flat: "I don't know, you can dig it yourself if you want to see."

Jiang Xian was not too polite, and started directly, took out the note from his pocket and opened it. There were a series of phone numbers written on it, and a heart was drawn at the end.

Jiang Xian was overjoyed when he saw this, and unfolded the note to Chi Luoxi, with a smirk on his face, he teased, "Brother is not bad, I've only been here for a while, and I've hooked up with the benefactor who wants to keep you!"

Chi Luoxi glanced at the note and smiled, but Jiang Xian couldn't laugh immediately when he smiled - how should I put it, he felt that the way Chi Luoxi looked at him smiling now was like a fox seeing a fat rabbit , My stomach is full of bad water thinking about how to eat and wipe myself clean, not even spitting out the bones.

The desire to survive forced Jiang Xian to change his words immediately, and said angrily: "That woman is really flirtatious, she has a boyfriend and she still comes to flirt, and she doesn't look in the mirror to see what she is like, the whole family loves each other very much. Mainstream, you have such high eyesight, how could you fall in love with her!"

Hearing what he said, Chi Luoxi showed a soft smile in satisfaction. He took the piece of paper with the phone number out of Jiang Xian's hand, crumpled it up and threw it into the trash can.

"I'm hungry." Chi Luoxi, who finished disposing of the garbage, took Jiang Xian's hand and said, "Go downstairs to eat."

As a result, as soon as he put on the doorknob, he heard a woman screaming from downstairs. The two looked at each other for half a second, then quickly opened the door and rushed out.

The few of them who had won the prize all chose the upstairs room by coincidence. When Jiang Xian and the others rushed out of the room, the man following the rich woman was opening a door and looking downstairs. Sharp voice: "What's going on, what is the ghost downstairs?!"

"I don't know." The man replied, and his eyes fell on the backs of Chi Luoxi and Jiang Xian going downstairs: "I'll go down and have a look."

But the painter who chose to live at the end of the corridor didn't move at all from the beginning to the end, as if he didn't hear the commotion downstairs.

Jiang Xian rushed downstairs in three steps and two steps, and suddenly saw Liu Sai'e sitting on the ground, covering her mouth with one hand, her eyes were red.

And the boy dressed as a waiter standing beside him also looked terrified, and their eyes all fell on a room with an open door on the first floor.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Xian asked while helping Liu Sai'e up from the ground, and found that her whole body was shaking so badly that her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand at all, so Jiang Xian had to let her lean on him to support her.

Liu Sai'e tremblingly stretched out a hand, pointed to the room with the door wide open and stammered, "Zhu, Manager Zhu is dead!"
