Maoshan Taoist priests practice falsehood and become reality

Chapter 31 What's Wrong
  "Should I be fired? It doesn't matter if I'm fired. I'm just planning to change my job. Working the night shift is such a waste of time under the current circumstances."

"Hello, here we are."

The driver's prompt interrupted Su Heng's train of thought.

The destination is a shopping mall near Xia Qin's new home.

It is easy to tell from the brightly dressed people passing by that this is a place with a high level of consumption.

Five minutes later, Su Heng finally found the restaurant designated by Xia Xiaoling.

This restaurant specializes in cuisine from District 11, such as sushi, salmon, and seafood. To put it bluntly, it is similar to the Japanese restaurant in Su Heng's hometown.

Su Heng went in, glanced around, and didn't see the Xia family's mother and daughter. She picked up her phone and was about to send a message to ask, but was tapped on the shoulder.

Turning around, it turned out to be Xia Xiaoling.

She was wearing a beige dress today, her slightly curly long hair was draped casually over her shoulders, her bright eyes could not hide her smile, and she looked like a lively and cheerful girl next door.

The familiar scent of virginity penetrated her nose, and Su Heng couldn't help but recall the almost forgotten night in Baihua Village.

"Why are you dazed? Come on, we're going to starve to death."

"Oh."

The mother and daughter booked a private room. The first moment the door was opened, Su Heng saw Xia Qin sitting opposite.

Different from Xia Xiaoling's girlish style, Xia Qin wore a black gauze suspender skirt, with her black hair tied behind her shoulders, revealing her round shoulders.

She wore light makeup, and no trace of time could be found on her delicate face. Only in her hazy eyes could she read the charm of a young woman.

Of course, these are not the important points. Su Heng's eyes fell on Xia Qin's Yintang. He did not recite the Purifying Mantra after the transmission, so he could still see the curse.

Compared to before, the curse seems to have spread a little more.

Su Heng frowned.

"Hey, it's very rude to keep staring at other people's mothers!"

Xia Xiaoling pinched Su Heng's arm hard, but the force was more like massaging him.

The grain clothes are added to the body, and the girl retreats!
  "Sister Xia Qin, good afternoon."

Xia Qin smiled lightly: "Su Heng, you are here."

Su Heng was about to enter the box, but was hurriedly reminded by the girl: "Take off your shoes first!"

Su Heng's eyes moved down to the bottom of the table, and then he realized that Xia Qin was not wearing shoes.

A pair of slender bare feet rested quietly on the wooden floor, and the translucent manicure shone with pink light.

Good-looking, indistinguishable from Xia Xiaoling's beauty. If I have to be picky, Xia Xiaoling's feet are a little smoother, she is young after all.

Su Heng's gaze reminded Xia Xiaoling of how her feet were played with and studied by Su Heng a few days ago when she was unconscious.

She was so ashamed and angry that she could only say fiercely: "You guy! Do you like other people's feet so much!"

The sudden questioning failed to make Su Heng feel ashamed. After all, as a former script painter, he has published many scripts.

Besides, I like feet, so what’s wrong with that?

As we all know, when Mr. Yu, a well-known writer, saw the pink and waxy fragrant rice, he would think of those feet; when Mr. Fu from the romantic country heard the sound of a woman's shoes, all his determination immediately collapsed, just like an alcoholic who sees It's like strong liquor; the genius director Mr. Kun even has the legend of spending 10,000 dollars to lick his feet for half an hour. so……

"Ms. Xia, please respect other people's sexual preferences in public."

Xia Xiaoling blushed instantly: "What nonsense are you talking about, you pervert?"

A chuckle subtly diverted the two's attention.

It was Xia Qin. She covered her mouth, but laughter slipped out from between her fingers.

"Mom, you are still laughing. This guy is so perverted!"

Xia Xiaoling sat down angrily, while Su Heng took off his shoes leisurely.

Xia Qin calmed down and asked, "When did the relationship between you two become so good?"

"Who wants to be friends with him?"

Su Heng nodded in agreement: "We meet by chance and become acquaintances." The brief interlude made the atmosphere at the dinner table extremely harmonious. Xia Xiaoling called the waiter and ordered a bunch of food that Su Heng felt was not enough.

Su Heng was very down-to-earth and ordered a bowl of tonkotsu ramen and fried pork cutlet.

Xia Xiaoling, who expressed disdain for this, exchanged a spoonful of caviar for a pork chop covered in salad dressing thirty seconds after the pork chop was served, and made a satisfied expression as she swallowed it.

When the ramen was served, Xia Xiaoling scored twice. She tried to exchange salmon dipped in mustard sauce for Su Heng's only piece of barbecued pork but was severely rejected, and fell into a brief depression.

Xia Qin, as a mature woman with rich social experience, smiled and enjoyed her food throughout the whole process, immersed in this time called happiness.

The pleasure of lunch continued until Su Heng took the initiative to mention work matters.

"Sister Xia Qin, do I really no longer have to work the night shift?"

"Do you feel like you've been fired?"

"I have thought about it, but I don't think you will fire me so easily."

Xia Xiaoling: "Tsk."

Xia Qin took a sip of juice and nodded: "Well, in fact, I decided to promote you to the regional general manager. You will manage the operations of a total of thirteen stores on my behalf. It sounds a bit scary, right? Don't worry, I have arranged for special training and guidance. .”

Su Heng could understand the promotion and salary increase to become a store manager. After suddenly being promoted to regional general manager, is it possible that Sister Xia Qin wants to support him?
  wrong.

"Where's Sister Xia Qin, are you retiring?"

Xia Qin's eyes flashed with an imperceptible loneliness: "Of course it's not time to retire yet. An old friend invited me to open up new business in District 1 some time ago. I thought it was an opportunity and planned to go and have a look. The business here , I was wondering if I could entrust it to you first. After all, Xiaoling has not graduated yet."

"Mom, when are you going to District 1, why don't I know?"

"I haven't had time to tell you what I just decided in the past two days. How about Su Heng, are you confident?"

Su Heng thought for a moment and sighed: "I'm sorry, Sister Xia Qin. Firstly, I don't have the ability, and secondly, I don't have any ideas in this regard. In fact, I have been seriously considering changing my job recently."

Xia Qin looked a little disappointed: "Really? If this is the case, there is nothing we can do. Is it because I am not happy being a convenience store clerk? Is it because of the salary issue?"

"Sister Xia Qin, working in a convenience store is the happiest time in my life. It's just that I have other things I have to do and can't take care of my work at the same time."

"I see. Okay, sister, I wish you a bright future. If you want to come back someday, Seven Days Convenience Store will always welcome you."

"Cheers, Sister Xia Qin!"

"To the future."

"To myself!"

The glasses clinked, and the three of them drank the juice in one gulp.

During this period, Su Heng and Xia Xiaoling looked at each other and gave each other a meaningful look.

At this moment, the two of them had a good rapport.

Su Heng stood up and left the table:

"Sister Xia Qin, my stomach hurts a little. I need to go to the toilet."

Three minutes later, Xia Xiaoling also stood up and said:
  "Mom, I need to go to the bathroom too."

……

In the fire escape on the third floor, Su Heng and Xia Xiaoling met.

Su Heng: "Sister Xia Qin didn't come with you, did she?"

Xia Xiaoling: "No. Did you also notice something was wrong?"

Su Heng nodded: "It's quite wrong, it's almost like I'm explaining the funeral arrangements."

"Bah, bah, can you speak? My mother has been really not right these past two days. She must know about the curse."

"Most likely Wei Zonglin told her. Sister Xia Qin was sent to the hospital during the explosion, and maybe she was found out at that time."

"What should I do now? I don't know what deal my mother and Wei Zonglin made, but she suddenly has to go to District 1..."

"Don't panic, everything is still under plan. However, you still need to do a small thing."
