Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

The fact that Xilaimian was the only reason that made Wu Xie and the others agree to let Kan Jian stay was the decisive factor that made Wu Xie agree to give Kan Jian a leave of absence and let him stay in Yucun. The reason was that when they woke up on the third day, the house was completely renovated.

Not only was the floor spotless, but even the dirty clothes and sheets piled up in the bathroom were neatly washed and hung out to dry on bamboo poles in the open space.

As it fluttered in the wind, the fresh scent of laundry detergent filled the entire yard.

Even Shen Mingchao, who was the cleanest of them all, was stunned, just like everyone else. It took him a while to finally utter, "My goodness, she's a fairy godmother! She's way too virtuous!"

Meow~

Shen Mingchao heard the cat meowing and looked down. The calico cat's fur was unusually fluffy and smooth. She picked up San San and exclaimed in surprise.

"Holy crap, this guy in the vest didn't even spare San San?"

That wasn't the end of it; Xilaimian wasn't spared either.

One wall in Xilaimian was used by Shen Mingchao as a promotional wall. It was covered with group photos of the group of people, as well as photos of customers who came to eat in the restaurant. In addition, there were sticky notes left by customers with blessings written on them.

The wall has now been neatly maintained by the vest.

Even the pens in the pen holder on the cashier's table had all their refills pushed in, with the nibs facing down.

"Wristband Guy, he's a godsend for OCD sufferers!" Shen Mingchao exclaimed in admiration, sincerely suggesting, "He should really make those immersive organizing and tidying videos."

The fat man shook his head and sighed, "I thought I was a symbol of diligence, but compared to this kid, I'm just a lazy bum."

Shen Mingchao couldn't help but joke, "Third Master, tell me the truth, does your family business involve housekeeping?"

The White Snake is a pure husband, Wang Meng is a pure mother, and Kan Jian is even more so—they've practically maxed out their housework skills!

Wu Xie's selection process is truly exceptional; his subordinates are all incredibly skilled and well-trained.

"My family... shouldn't be involved in this kind of business," Wu Xie said honestly. "Although I don't know how many household skills he's learned in private, I think it's best not to interfere for now and let him use them to his fullest potential."

"agree!"

Everyone nodded in unison, then took small steps away from Kan Jian's sight, completely handing over the "stage" to Kan Jian.

Xilaimian is outside the door.

Wu Xie and Fatty lay on recliners, sunbathing like lazy fish. Zhang Qilin was combing San San's fur.

Feeling bored, Shen Mingchao took out a bunch of raw chestnuts she had picked up yesterday, intending to process them.

"Hey girl, need any help?" the fat man asked.

"No need, it's nothing, no trouble at all."

After saying that, Shen Mingchao took out the knife that Hei Xiazi had given him, stepped on the raw chestnut, cut open the prickly shell with one stroke, took out the chestnut inside, and put it in a basin next to him.

"Alright, you keep holding on, Fatty will roast some chestnuts for you in a bit. Roasting them over a stove fire makes them so fragrant."

Wu Xie silently captured this scene. He had developed a habit of taking photos whenever he wanted when he was a personal photographer, and now he even created a special category for it in his phone's photo album.

In the photo, the girl is wearing a white sweater and jeans with a cat print, her hair is slightly curly, and she has a hair clip on the side. She is holding a knife and is intently peeling chestnuts.

He smiled and thought to himself that if the blind man knew that the knife he had gone to so much trouble to give him had been used for these things, he wondered if he would feel the same way he did now and couldn't help but laugh.

Of course, he wouldn't send this photo to Hei Xiazi; even brothers have to keep clear accounts.

He felt that what Hei Xiazi should be most angry about right now was that he had unwittingly become Kan Jian's accomplice, and after all his careful selection, he still chose his love rival. If he found out, he would probably regret it to death.

He thought of Shen Mingchao's WeChat Moments again, and a wicked idea popped into his head. If he had Kan Jian's phone right now, he could post a picture of Kan Jian and Mingchao together on WeChat Moments, with a caption thanking Hei Ye for his generous sponsorship, and then tag Hei Xiazi.

The bear's face must have been a kaleidoscope of expressions.

Tsk, he's really becoming more and more inhuman.

Given that doing so would risk Kan Jian being killed by Black Bear, Wu Xie, with his remaining conscience, ultimately decided not to take action.

Before long, Kan Jian finished tidying up and came out with a pair of scissors to ask everyone if they needed him to help them cut their hair.

Shen Mingchao had just finished processing the raw chestnuts. Holding the basin, she looked at Kan Jian and said with utmost seriousness, "Kan Jian, whoever marries you is truly blessed."

When he heard Shen Mingchao praise him, Kan Jian chuckled, looking silly, and it took him a while to realize that something was amiss.

"Wait a minute? Why 'marry'?"

Wu Xie casually put on a disposable apron that the store used for customers, sat down on a chair in the store, glanced at the vest, and complained, "Your reaction time is too slow. The other person has been in the kitchen for ages."

The first male customer getting a haircut has taken his place.

Kan Jian also grabbed a chair with wheels and, while starting to cut, asked, "Boss, what are they doing in the kitchen? Didn't they just have lunch?"

Click, click.

"The fat guy helped her roast chestnuts, and she said she wanted to film some kind of day vlog, so she went along too," Wu Xie explained simply.

Click, click.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Wu Xie said, "I only came first because I trust you. If you ruin it, don't blame me for being heartless."

Bullshit.

The truth is, Shen Mingchao said she was growing her hair out. The young man didn't say anything and followed Shen Mingchao into the house, clearly refusing to be the first guinea pig. The fat man and Wu Xie exchanged knowing glances and decided to play rock-paper-scissors.

Wu Xie lost.

Kan Jian knew nothing, only that he had gained the boss's trust. His face lit up with a smile, and he patted his chest to assure him that he had specially learned the technique from a master and would never make a mistake.

Wu Xie: .....You'd better be.

After Wu Xie finished cutting his hair, Shen Mingchao and the others had also finished roasting the chestnuts. As Wu Xie looked at his hair and breathed a sigh of relief, Kan Jian finally remembered a problem he had overlooked.

So why marry?

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Mingchao presented them with a steaming bowl of chestnuts, beaming with joy, and said in a cheerful voice, "Brother Wu Xie, Brother Kan Jian, come and have some chestnuts! I just tried one, and it's delicious!"

The chestnuts are sweet, soft, and chewy.

The unspoken words were swallowed up by the everyday atmosphere. Kan Jian thought that this moment was enough; whether it was marriage or being married, it was all praise in the end, and there was no need to make such a detailed distinction.

Seeing that Wu Xie's haircut looked alright, the fat man relaxed, patted the man in the vest on the shoulder, and said, "Not bad, bro. Well then, I'll leave my hair to you!"

The young man nodded slightly in agreement.

While the group was getting their hair cut, Shen Mingchao looked at the basin full of chestnuts and had a sudden inspiration. She called on Wu Xie and Zhang Qilan, who were free at the time, to help her peel the chestnuts, saying that she wanted to mash them into a paste and make chestnut bubble tea.

"What is that?" Wu Xie asked.

Shen Mingchao raised a finger and smiled smugly: "I'll treat you to the first milk tea of ​​autumn!"

This is a meme from the future, which most people don't understand and only interpret as the literal meaning of the phrase.

The fat man was overjoyed, exclaiming that he was in for a treat again.

Chestnut Boba Milk Green Tea is mainly based on milk tea with added chestnut puree. As for the toppings, they are optional.

Fujian is famous for its tea, and the shop usually keeps a good stock. Shen Mingchao first brewed a pot of jasmine tea. After telling the others, she went out to the supermarket to buy a bottle of milk. She also happened to be out of sanitary napkins, so she bought a pack on the way.

But who knew that she had just come out of the supermarket and had only taken a few steps when she bumped into an unexpected person!
