After getting up the next day, Xiatian left Yuanzun Hotel with Qiu Mengyun without even having breakfast.

Qiu Mengyun asked in surprise: "Isn't there breakfast in the hotel? Why do we have to go out to eat?"

Xia Tian: "If we eat here, we will probably be blocked by Mr. Zhang and can't leave."

"So, let's get out before they find us!"

Qiu Mengyun said a little embarrassedly: "Then we are leaving now, don't we need to say hello to others? After all, they have treated us to delicious food and drinks for two days. Isn't it not good for us to leave without saying goodbye?"

"If you want to go, I won't stop you. But don't blame me for not reminding you. If you are left behind, you can only postpone your shopping and watching movies." Xia Tian said indifferently.

"Let's go! Let's walk faster, don't let them catch up." When talking about shopping, Qiu Mengyun's pace quickened a bit.

The two took a taxi directly back to the neighborhood, ate something at a breakfast shop, and then returned to the rented cottage.

After returning to the cottage, Qiu Mengyun took off her shoes and lay back on the sofa comfortably: "It's still more comfortable to stay at home. The hotel room is good, but I always feel that it is not as comfortable as here."

Xia Tian smiled and said: "That's for sure, otherwise why do our Chinese people like to buy houses desperately."

"Xia Tian, ​​we have lived here for several days, and it seems that we have never visited the landlord. It happens that we are not busy today, so why don't we go buy some vegetables and go to the old man's house for dinner today!" Lying on the sofa and playing with the phone for a while, Qiu Mengyun suddenly remembered the help of the landlord when they rented the house before, and took the initiative to propose to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll show them my skills when the time comes."

After leaving the hotel, Xia Tian was actually absent-minded.

He kept thinking about the phone call between Qiu Mengyun and Li Lu last night, and thinking about how to destroy the surveillance of Qiu Mengyun's house.

Otherwise, when she is free to check the surveillance, all the things he did at the beginning will be exposed.

But now they are recording a program, not in the original city at all. Even if he excuses himself to leave for a while, he doesn't have enough time to run to another city and come back.

The most important thing is that even if he leaves alone, he can't guarantee whether the photographer will follow him or Qiu Mengyun. He can't take the photographer with him to do this.

"Xia Tian, ​​what are you thinking about? Why do I see you are absent-minded?"

Qiu Mengyun pulled Xia Tian's sleeve and asked in surprise.

She just took a green vegetable and asked Xia Tian if he wanted to buy this vegetable, but she didn't respond after calling a few times, which made her feel very strange.

"Uh! Nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night, and I was a little distracted." Xia Tian made up an excuse casually.

"Didn't sleep well? I remember you went to bed early last night, how could you not sleep well?" Qiu Mengyun asked in confusion.

"It's probably because you drank too much these two days. Okay, let's continue buying vegetables." Xia Tian, ​​who felt a little guilty, took the initiative to change the subject.

When the two of them appeared at the door of the landlord carrying vegetables and two boxes of gifts, the old man said in surprise: "Oh! Xiaoxia and Xiaoqiu are here, come in quickly, come in quickly."

"I talked about you two to your aunt the other day, saying that you two have never come to our place for dinner, and I don't know how your job search is going."

"Originally I wanted to go over and see you, but your aunt said that she was afraid that you would disturb your rest after you just found a job, so I didn't go."

Qiu Mengyun smiled and said: "It's like this, we went out for something two days ago. I just came back and thought of coming to see you."

"Xiaoxia, right? Just put the things there, let me clean up!"

The aunt who had just walked out of the bedroom saw Xia Tian carrying vegetables and walking towards the kitchen, and hurriedly called him.

Xia Tian smiled and shook his head: "Auntie, you just take a rest, leave the cooking to me."

Auntie scolded: "What are you talking about, this is the first time you two come to my house for dinner. How can I let you, a guest, cook? Go and chat with your uncle, I'll do it."

Seeing the two people arguing about cooking in the kitchen, Qiu Mengyun quickly spoke up to help: "Auntie, just let Xia Tian do it! He is a professional cook. When we went out to eat two days ago, the chef of the five-star hotel came to him for advice."

"Oh!

Is he so good? Even the hotel chef went to learn from him? "The aunt looked at Xia Tian in surprise. She couldn't understand how this young man could be so good at cooking.

Xia Tian smiled and said, "It's not as exaggerated as she said. I just chatted with the chef for a while and exchanged cooking skills."

"But I am really familiar with cooking. Just leave it to me. Just give me a chance to show off my skills in front of you and me."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Seeing that Xia Tian had picked up the knife and skillfully processed the ingredients, the aunt nodded and walked towards Qiu Mengyun.

"Xiao Qiu, you said you would come, so why are you taking anything? These two boxes of things, you two should take them all away and return them when you leave. Your aunt and I don't eat these things."

After several people sat down in the living room, the landlord immediately scolded Qiu Mengyun.

"Yes! There are still a lot of nutritional supplements that my children bought for us and thrown in the room. We are tired of eating them. Don't buy them anymore in the future. It's better to buy some vegetables. "The aunt also echoed.

"Why buy vegetables? Are we short of food? How can you ask other people's children for things?"

"Xiao Qiu, don't listen to your aunt. In the future, you two can just come directly, don't buy anything. We don't need anything at home. As long as you can come and chat with us, it's better than anything else."

Hearing the aunt say that buying gifts is not as cost-effective as buying vegetables, the landlord immediately scolded her.

"Yes, yes, yes! Your uncle is right, and the aunt is wrong. In the future, you can call in advance, and then just come to eat, and don't worry about anything else. "

Listening to the caring words of the two, Qiu Mengyun felt warm in her heart.

She smiled and said, "Uncle and aunt, you can accept this thing today. I promise that we will not buy it again in the future."

Looking at Qiu Mengyun's sincere eyes, the landlord finally nodded and said, "Okay, just this time and never again."

"Uncle, please keep this. This is the deposit we owed you for the house before."

After drinking a sip of water, Qiu Mengyun took out a stack of cash from her clothes pocket and put it in front of the landlord.

"Why are you in a hurry for this? Put it away first, and keep it for emergency use!" The landlord did not take the money in front of him, but pushed the money back.

The landlord's aunt also said, "Girl, there is no hurry for this money. Your uncle and I are not short of money for emergency use. You two have a lot of places to spend money when you first arrive, so keep it for use first! ”

Qiu Mengyun smiled and shook her head: "No need, uncle, we both found jobs now. Moreover, we just earned some extra money a few days ago, so we are not short of money now."

Seeing that the landlord uncle still refused to accept it, Qiu Mengyun directly took the money and stuffed it into the landlord's aunt's pocket.

"Auntie, please take it. If you don't take it, we will be embarrassed to come to your place for dinner in the future."

"Okay, since you are not short of money for the time being, I will take it first. You two must come to my house for dinner often in the future." Hearing Qiu Mengyun say that she would not come again in the future, the landlord's aunt had no choice but to accept the money.

Since there were only four people, Xia Tian did not cook too many dishes, and it didn't take long for four dishes and one soup to be completed.

Looking at the fragrant dishes on the table, the landlord's aunt praised: "Xiao Xia is really good. The dishes she fried not only smell fragrant, but also look very beautiful. No wonder Xiao Qiu said that there will be chefs from star-rated hotels looking for you to learn. ”

Xia Tian smiled and said, “It’s just a home cooking. Uncle and aunt, please eat quickly, otherwise the food will get cold soon.”

“Well! It’s really delicious. Xiao Xia’s cooking skills are simply amazing. It’s not worse than the food in those big hotels.”

“This fish is really delicious. Xiao Xia, are you a professional chef?”

After tasting Xia Tian’s cooking skills, the landlord and his wife were full of praise.

“Haha, that’s not the case. Cooking is just a little hobby of mine.” Xia Tian explained with a smile.

“Alas! It’s a pity that you don’t become a chef with your skills. You can definitely make a lot of money with the taste of your dishes.” The landlord uncle said regretfully.

“Why are you sighing? Xiao Xia is not a chef. He must have a better job. We should be happy for him.” The landlord aunt said unhappily.

“Yes, yes, yes! I was confused. "The landlord said with a smile.

"Hehe, as long as you like it. As long as you like it, I will bring Xia Tian over to cook for you when I am free someday."

Seeing Xia Tian being praised, Qiu Mengyun felt happier than hearing others praise herself.

"Come on, Xiao Xia, let's have a bite. It would be a pity if we don't drink some of this delicious food.

" "The landlord took out a bottle of white wine from under the table and asked Xia Tian to drink it. After dinner, Xia Tian and Qiu Mengyun chatted with them for a while and stayed until after 1 pm before leaving. "Woo! It feels so good to be full and satisfied." After returning home, Qiu Mengyun leaned lazily on the sofa. "Let's sleep for a while after eating. It's too hot outside now. Let's take a rest and wait until the evening when it's cooler, and then go shopping with you." Xia Tian said with a smile. "If you are sleepy, go back to your room and rest. I'm not sleepy yet. I promised Sister Lu to help him find the USB drive." As she spoke, Qiu Mengyun took out her mobile phone and opened the camera management software. "Don't watch it. Take a rest quickly, otherwise you will feel sleepy when watching movies at night. "

Seeing Qiu Mengyun's actions, Xia Tian was so scared that he couldn't speak clearly. He quickly snatched her phone and pushed her back to the room.

Huh? What's wrong with Xia Tian today? Why is he so concerned about me suddenly?

Did he regard today's shopping and movie with me as a date?

Hehe, I didn't expect this guy to take it seriously. He was actually worried that I would fall asleep when watching a movie with him.

Forget it, since he cares about me so much, I won't let him down.

Qiu Mengyun, who thought she had guessed Xia Tian's intentions, replied happily She went to her room for lunch break.

As for Li Lu's USB flash drive, she had long forgotten about it.

After driving Qiu Mengyun into the room, Xia Tian also returned to his room and carefully locked the door.

It was not that he was worried that Qiu Mengyun would suddenly rush in and plot against him, but he was a little guilty.

After returning to the room, Xia Tian began to act according to the plan he had thought of in the morning.

He first opened the Meituan app and ordered a errand service on it.

Not long after, a call came in.

"Hello! Mr. Xia, the address you wrote is not very detailed. Can you tell me where you are now?"

Xia Tian lowered his voice and said, "You don't need to know where I am now, you just need to do something for me."

"Mr. Xia, how can I complete this order if you don't give me the location?"

Xia Tian explained, "It's like this, I don't have anything to deliver. You just need to help me unplug the camera at the door and throw it away. ”

“Brother, I’m just an errand boy. We don’t accept this kind of business. If you have any conflicts with your neighbors, I still suggest that you communicate first. You can’t solve the problem by this means.” The errand boy thought that Xia Tian had a conflict with his neighbor, so he wanted him to secretly destroy the camera installed in other people’s homes.

Xia Tian hurriedly explained: “You misunderstood. I didn’t have a conflict with my neighbor. The thing is, the camera installed in my house is broken, and I’m working in another city.”

“My parents are the only ones at home. They are old. I’m worried that they will have another accident when climbing up and down, so I want you to help me remove the camera.”

“Since it’s broken, you must install a new one, right? Why don’t you just ask the master who installed it to help you remove it?” The errand boy asked puzzledly.

Xia Tian had to continue to make up: “There was no installer. My dad bought a camera online, so he had to install it himself. ”

“How about this, after you take down the old camera, you can install the new one. How about I give you double the price?”

“Okay, I’ll take this job for your filial piety. Ask your parents to prepare the camera and the ladder, and I’ll go over and take it down now.” Under the temptation of double pay from Xia Tian, ​​the errand boy agreed to his request.

More than 20 minutes later, the courier boy called again: “Mr. Xia, your family lives in a high-end community, and the security guard won’t let me in!”

Xia Tian had to let him give the phone to the security guard, and only after he revealed his identity to the other party, the errand boy was able to go in.

A few minutes later, the errand boy called again.

“Mr. Xia, are your parents at home? Why didn’t anyone open the door when I knocked?”

Xia Tian pretended to be annoyed and said: “Oh! I forgot to tell them in advance. I just called to ask, and they said they were out traveling. ”

The errand boy said depressedly: "What should I do? I can't make a wasted trip, right?"

Xia Tian smiled and said: "How about this, you find a way to get the old camera down, even if it's just knocking it off with a stick. As for the new camera, you don't have to install it. I'll ask my dad to install it lower, and I'll install it again when I go back for vacation in a few days."

"Don't worry, it was my negligence this time. Although I failed to install the new camera, I promised you double the reward, and I will pay it normally.

Here you are. "

Hearing that the double reward was not affected, the errand boy said happily: "Don't worry, big brother, I will help you get that old camera down."

Two minutes later.

"Big brother, I took down this old camera, is it for you to put at the door?"

Xia Tian: "No, just help me take it down and throw it into the trash can."

After finishing everything, Xia Tian's heart, which had been hanging, finally let go completely.

In the bedroom next to him, Qiu Mengyun saw the abnormal reminder video sent by the mobile phone software, and muttered in confusion.

"What's the situation? Is this person seriously ill? Why did he come to knock on my camera?"
