Chapter 90 Bodyguard

In a hot pot restaurant on Justice Road, Dongcheng District, the boss who seemed to be 40 years old sat on the stool, smoking three yuan a pack of big front door, frowned and smoked silently. Now it is not the peak of passenger flow. He must have nothing to do, sitting here alone and meditating.

"Why didn't Xiaoye come for two days? Is there something wrong at home?"

The boss who smoked silently asked himself that a young man who was fine a few days ago disappeared for two days for no reason. There was no trace indicating what was wrong, which made his boss anxious. The manpower in the store was not very short. There was one person missing, and the rest could do it by himself. Ye Hetu's farewell gave birth to a lot of speculation and reverie in the boss's heart. No matter what the result was, the boss was always out of good intentions.

"Uncle Fu, are you still thinking about him?" Yang Luo, who was cutting vegetables in the kitchen and preparing materials for a while, saw the boss outside in a daze and asked with a smile.

Yang Luo has been in this store for a long time. Through the daily communication with the boss and his wife, it is obvious that the boss and his wife are real people and have the shrewdness of small businessmen, but they are absolutely not the market spirit of Xiaojing citizens, unlike some vendors who make big tampering with raw materials in order to make huge profits. Every piece of material here is handled by him, and it can only be served on the table.

"Xiao Yang, where did Xiaoye go? He didn't say hello to me when he left. What if something happened?" The boss raised his head, and his slightly anxious tone all revealed his concern for Ye Hetu. After all, there was a good reward.

"Uncle Fu, don't worry, he will be fine." Yang Luo said to the boss seriously while cutting vegetables. The kitchen knife in his hand cut the dishes on the cutting board at a dazzling speed. The length and thickness of each knife were exactly the same. If the boss sees this scene, he will be shocked. If someone is watching, Yang Luo will not cut vegetables like this. There are some things that are not wrong to keep a low profile.

The boss extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray and was about to pull out another cigarette box, but he found that the cigarette box had been empty for a long time. Then he suddenly remembered the strict number of cigarettes his wife smoked every day. He had no choice but to laugh a few times and was ready to go to work in the kitchen. In a few days, my son will take the college entrance examination. He has to work hard to earn enough tuition for his son's college entrance examination. Beijing Jiaotong University and Beijing Normal University seem to be stable. The family's hopes are all on their son. No matter how hard it is, it is worth it.

"Uncle Fu."

A young man walked into the hot pot restaurant and shouted enthusiastically to the boss who turned around and was ready to enter the kitchen, so that the latter could not react for a long time. The boss turned his head and saw the familiar face and said in surprise, "You boy, you are finally back. Where have you been these two days?" With a punch on Ye Hetu's strong chest, Ye Hetu pretended to step back a few steps and shouted with loud dissatisfaction, "Why did I get this treatment as soon as I came back? It seems that I shouldn't come back."

"You boy, don't pretend there. Tell your uncle what's going on." The boss is in a good mood. When he is middle-aged, he is used to the examples of ups and downs. Now just a plain episode in life can greatly improve his mood.

I reached into my coat pocket and was ready to take out the cigarette box. Suddenly, I remembered that there were no cigarettes in the cigarette box. The boss smiled bitterly. Seeing this, Ye Hetu quickly took out a pack of cigarettes from himself and threw them at the boss. The boss ended up smoking. At a glance, it was three packs of cigarettes, which made him feel at ease. Take out two cigarettes. If it's expensive, he won't smoke.

Yang Luo in the kitchen did not smoke. When he saw Ye Hetu coming back, he threw a kind smile and nodded to each other.

The two of them took off the clouds and got together again.

Ye Hetu took a deep breath of smoke, and then slowly answered the question just raised by the boss Uncle Fu.

"A few gangsters went to the family. They wanted to grab things and were busy fighting with the gang of gangs. They were delayed these two days and didn't have time to say hello to Uncle Fu."

A gangster? The boss was stunned. Ye Hetu hasn't come in the past two days. Is he busy fighting with gangsters? This child is too deceptive. However, when he looked at Ye Hetu's expression that didn't look like he was talking, the boss still believed it and did not continue to ask. Since Ye Hetu found such a reason to prevaricate him, there was no need for him to continue to ask.

Ye Hetu smoked a cigarette and said solemnly that those guys in the Tombs of the Thirteen Emperors were better than the gangsters. Killing them is just a trivial contribution to the motherland. Anyway, it is a contribution. If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't make a river and sea.

Now the Ye Hetu who is talking and laughing with the boss and the decisive Ye Hetu of the Thirteen Imperial Tombs are completely two extremes, which are easy to cause visual errors to people. The next second, no one can be sure what will happen. Therefore, some people are always full of camouflage. They don't need others to understand you, just let themselves know more about what they want to do at the critical moment.

No one can predict what will happen in the next second. Just after this second, a person walked into the hot pot restaurant. It was a girl, a black and white lace knitted sweater, light blue tweed trousers, and dressed easily. This girl Ye Hetu knew. It was the girl who invited Ye Hetu to have a meal last time, and she was still in this hot pot. The store.

When she came in, the girl also stared at Ye Hetu here. She was not in a hurry to say hello. She chose a side seat and sat down, wrote down a few dishes according to the menu on the table and handed them to the boss. The boss picked up the menu and looked at Ye Hetu with deep meaning. He did not tell Ye Hetu to do anything to do. He turned around and entered the kitchen. Room, he can see something.

After the boss left, the girl raised her head and looked directly at Ye Hetu. Ye Hetu's eyes did not dodge at all. He also looked at the other party. Ye Hetu took a glance and turned his eyes away. He was not interested in playing this kind of game and walked over. He asked the girl who just looked at him boldly, "What's the matter?"

"How do you know I have something to do?" The girl asked curiously that she came here to find Ye Hetu. The last time Ye Hetu gave him a good impression, at least very humorous. Such a man is really strange, but it's fun.

Ye Hetu touched his nose, which was not easy to answer.

"I'm talking nonsense."

However, Ye Hetu still gave a decisive answer.

"Ha ha, nonsense can be so powerful." The girl squeezed her mouth and smiled happily. This kind of smile has long been common for Ye Hetu. Those girls in Qingxin Pavilion are often like this. They can't say less than a word, and they burst into tears.

Others laugh at me for being humorous, who understands my loneliness?

Ye Hetu put his hands on his back and looked at the scenery outside the window, wanting to exude the melancholy atmosphere on his body, but there was another meaning in the girl's eyes. Ye Hetu's alternative humor made her unable to help laughing.

"My name is Cai Yongyan." The girl took the lead in introducing herself and stretched out her right hand generously.

"Ye Hetu." Ye Hetu reported his name again, stretched out his right hand and gently shook it with Cai Yongyan, and then separated after a while.

In the 1980s, shaking hands was a very common thing. The gap between men and women was not open. Compared with the Cultural Revolution, the situation was much better. People are making progress. After more than ten or twenty years, these problems that were considered problems in those years have long been no longer a problem.

"Now you can tell me why you came here to find me." Ye Hetu looked at Cai Yongyan with a smile. When he came in, he seemed to be relaxed, but he secretly looked at him several times with the corners of his eyes. After ordering, he waited for the boss to leave before he opened his mouth to speak. If there was nothing wrong, he could do.

"Well," Cai Yongyan paused for a moment and blushed slightly. This was the first time she took the initiative to ask a man she didn't know well. "Are you free tomorrow night?"

"I'm free." Ye Hetu nodded ambiguously. He wanted to see what Cai Yongyan had to say.

Now ask me if I'm free. It's too direct. I prefer to be more euphemistic. Ye Hetu thought to himself. It is said that the oriental woman is implicit and euphemistic, and it seems that there is something wrong with the information.

"Can you do me a favor?"

"Let's talk about it."

"I want you to accompany me to a party. I'm afraid it's not safe to go alone, so I asked you to protect me." Cai Yongyan hesitated to say the purpose of coming here. Not safe is just an excuse. She just wanted to avoid this problem.

"You asked me to protect you?" Ye Hetu still has that charming smile. There is a little ruffian in his smile, which is particularly charming and makes people blush. Ye Hetu has never been bad.

"Hmm." Cai Yongyan nodded like a dragonfly. She was surprised by her bold and abrupt idea. She didn't know why she wanted to come here to find Ye Hetu to go to the party. Cai Yongyan thought of something and quickly added, "I can give you money and hire you to protect me. How about that?"

Ye Hetu was dumbfounded, pointed to himself, and said strangely, "Do you think you want to spend money to ask me to protect you?"

"Yes."

"How much is it?"

"You said."

"I won't go without 50 yuan."

"How about 100 yuan?"

"Less."

Cai Yongyan looked at Ye Hetu speechlessly. Didn't he say that he was fifty, and he thought it was too little if he gave him one hundred. Didn't he know that he was crazy?

Ye Hetu didn't mind the eyes of outsiders and said slowly, "I won't go without 500 yuan."

Cai Yongyan suffothed. It was still 50 yuan just now, but now it has doubled tenfold to 500 yuan. The price of sitting on the ground is really fast.

"Okay, five hundred is five hundred."

"It's a deal."

Ye Hetu stretched out his right hand to celebrate the successful completion of the transaction.

What kind of party? Let's go and have fun.

Cai Yongyan didn't expect that Ye Hetu would agree so well. She thought that the two sides needed to discuss some terms and so on.

"Okay, from now on, you are my bodyguard."
