Chapter 145 New Tenant

The next morning.

Chen Mo woke up from a feeling of itchiness. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Xu Hongdou who was teasing his face with her hair.

Seeing Chen Mo wake up, Xu Hongdou teased: "Wake up, lazy bug~~"

When Chen Mo saw Xu Hongdou lying on his chest, his whole body was exposed. He then pulled her into his arms, pulled the quilt up to cover her exposed shoulders, and his hand unconsciously stroked her delicate and smooth back under the quilt.

"What are you doing~~" Half of Xu Hongdou's head was covered.

"Don't show it to others." Chen Mo closed his eyes again and said in a daze.

"How could it be anyone else?" Xu Hongdou said angrily, and stretched out her fingers to fiddle with Chen Mo's Adam's apple.

"It's cold in the morning, don't catch a cold." Chen Mo tightened the quilt and hugged Xu Hongdou tighter to prevent her from moving. He wanted to sleep for a while longer.

It's autumn now. Dali is a plateau area with a big temperature difference between day and night. The temperature in the morning and evening is already chilly, and it's easy to catch a cold if you're not careful.

However, this kind of weather, which is a little cold but not extremely cold, is the most comfortable to sleep in.

"It's almost noon now. A new tenant will be coming in the afternoon. Get up quickly." Xu Hongdou broke free with her hands, squeezed Chen Mo's cheeks with her palms, and shook them left and right.

"Well~~Sleep with me for a while longer." Chen Mo said vaguely, then turned over and held Xu Hongdou with his legs crossed like a pillow.

"Oh~ stop it, get up quickly." Xu Hongdou twisted her body trying to break free.

"If you move again, the golden cudgel will really cause a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace." Chen Mo warned with his eyes open.

Xu Hongdou suddenly felt something stirring under her body, and immediately recalled the tossing and turning last night, and begged for mercy: "No, I'm so hungry and I don't have the strength anymore."

"Are you hungry?" Chen Mo asked with his head down.

"Yeah." Xu Hongdou bit her lips lightly, looked at Chen Mo with pitiful eyes, and nodded slightly.

Chen Mo's heart softened instantly, and he couldn't help but lean over and take a big bite. Then he resisted the urge to linger, got up and got dressed.

"What do you want to eat? I'll do it."

"Hmm." Xu Hongdou turned sideways, supported her head with her hands, and thought seriously. Her delicate curves were faintly visible under the silk quilt.

Then, she smiled and said, "I like everything you do."

Chen Mo looked at that charming smile, powerless to resist, and muttered: "The land of gentleness, the tomb of heroes, the ancients were not deceiving me."

In the past, he was the one who used "sweet words" to tease Xu Hongdou, but now he feels like he is being manipulated instead.

Chen Mo shook his head. "Then I'll see what's in the refrigerator and make it."

"Wait a minute, help me get my clothes first." Xu Hongdou stretched out her white and tender feet in the quilt, felt a little cold, and pulled them back.

Chen Mo picked up the clothes that were scattered on the floor last night and put them on the bed.

Xu Hongdou reached out and rummaged around, "Hmm? Where's my underwear?"

"I didn't see it on the ground." Chen Mo looked around.

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes, "Where did you untie it for me last night?"

"Uh" Chen Mo thought for a moment, walked towards the sofa, and saw a piece of light yellow lace hanging quietly on a corner of the backrest, "Found it, it's here."

"I told you not to throw it around so hastily." Xu Hongdou said unhappily.

"Come on, let me help you put it on." Chen Mo had no choice but to atone for his sins.

Xu Hongdou snorted softly, sat up and stretched out her hands.

Chen Mo pinched the two shoulder straps and passed them through the fair and slender arms, and adjusted the position of the bra with his hands with a serious look on his face.

Xu Hongdou slapped the hand that was making trouble in front of her chest speechlessly, "Just buckle the back, I'll do the front myself."

"Oh." Chen Mo stopped with a lingering feeling. He was usually very skilled at unbuttoning his belt, but this was his first time putting it on, and it was really a different experience.

After having brunch, Chen Mo couldn't help yawning. He felt a little sleepy immediately after eating.

A short separation is better than a new marriage. The two of them made love last night and it was naturally very satisfying.

But Chen Mo also achieved victory with great difficulty and exhaustion, so he needed to rest and recuperate during the day to recover his strength so that he could work day and night.

Xu Hongdou was different. Although she lost slightly last night, she was already full of energy and looked rosy when she woke up.

The afternoon sun is warm, the breeze is comfortable, the blue and purple hydrangeas stretch out in the fields, the wind chimes on the eaves sway occasionally, and the courtyard is peaceful and harmonious.

On the terrace on the second floor, Xu Hongdou was reading quietly, with the sound of turning pages heard from time to time. Chen Mo rested his head on her thighs, taking a comfortable nap accompanied by the fragrance of books and flowers.

The two of them spent a quiet and lazy afternoon like this.

"Friends, I'm back." Hu Youyu's voice arrived before he even entered the door.

"Old Hu, you're back so soon? Why don't you stay a few more days?" Chen Mo was teasing the fat orange cat in the yard with a cat toy, and looked up and said.

Hu Youyu shook his head and laughed, "Alas, after being home for three days, the old man at home no longer likes me. If I stay any longer, they will just glare at me."

"There happened to be a performance at the bar that night, so I hurried back."

Hu Youyu also squatted down and scratched Fatty's chin, "Jiahui, did you miss me~"

Jiahui was the name given to her by Aunt Agui, but Chen Mo likes to call her Fat Orange.

Since they came, with the feeding of Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing, it has gained a lot of weight, and the slim name "Jiahui" is no longer suitable for it.

After hearing what Hu Youyu said, Fat Ju lay down, revealing his white fluffy belly, turned his head and yawned.

"Hey, you guy, every time I eat barbecue, I always save the fish head for you." Hu Youyu ravaged Fatty Orange's stomach. Chen Mo's eyes twitched after hearing this, "It's strange that it misses you, there are so many spicy seasonings in barbecue, cats can't digest it."

"Before, Hongdou and the others were wondering why Fatty couldn't eat sometimes. Don't let them know about this, or you will be scolded to death."

"Really?" Hu Youyu blinked. "How about I bring some fried dried fish next time? Without salt and pepper."

Chen Mo stopped him and said, "You'd better save your energy. There are so many people in the courtyard to feed, and you don't need to worry about this one meal."

"Okay." Hu Youyu stroked Fatty Orange with regret, "Poor Jiahui, you can't have extra meals from now on, you can only eat cat food."

Chen Mo looked at him strangely. "It opens its mouth every day for food, sleeps when it's full, eats when it's full, and lies here to bask in the sun when it has nothing to do. You feel sorry for it, but maybe it feels sorry for you too."

you are not a fish, how to know the joy of fish.

Hu Youyu smacked his lips and said, "Yeah, our life isn't necessarily much better than a cat's."

"By the way, why are you alone?"

Chen Mo explained: "Nana has gone home too, and Hongdou went to the restaurant to help Xiaochun."

"Didn't they say there was a new tenant?" Hu Youyu looked towards the room upstairs.

"It hasn't arrived yet. It seems like it will be a little late." Chen Mo said.

Hu Youyu frowned and said, "If it's a beautiful neighbor, you can quietly send me a message. We'll have a welcome party tonight. You and Hongdou will cooperate with me, and I'll show off my guitar skills."

Chen Mo joked, "Everyone in the courtyard hasn't come back yet. It will just be me, Hongdou, and you two. Those who know you may think you are holding a welcome party, while those who don't may think you are holding a social gathering."

Hu Youyu's eyes lit up when he heard this. Isn't this better?

Then, Hu Youyu said with a serious face: "Although we are few in number, we must have the necessary etiquette to show our importance."

Chen Mo glanced at her and said, "What if she's not a beauty?"

Hu Youyu smiled without changing his expression. "Then we'll wait until everyone in the courtyard is gathered. It won't be that interesting if there are not enough people."

Chen Mo looked at him with contempt, "Where is the etiquette?"

Hu Youyu said seriously, "It's more grand when everyone is present."

Chen Mo lost interest, "Let's talk about it after the people arrive."

Hu Youyu held Chen Mo's shoulders and said solemnly, "Brother, my love depends on you. As the new owner of the B&B, you have to help the guests live a better life."

Chen Mo was speechless and said, "This is a homestay, not a marriage agency. If you want to find a partner, you can ask Xiaochun to help Mr. Xie introduce blind dates, and at the same time, help you find someone suitable."

Hu Youyu refused: "I want to fall in love, not go on a blind date."

Chen Mo said: "This is not a conflict. After the blind date, if the two of them feel that they are suitable, they can start dating."

"No, blind dates are too direct. I like hazy beauty." Hu Youyu shook his head.

"In blind dating, if you put all these conditions on the table, such as car, house, savings, household registration, how can you talk about love?"

“Love is the natural contact between two people, the careful testing, and then the love that grows quietly and inadvertently.”

Hu Youyu said in a loud voice: "This is love."

Chen Mo clapped his hands in agreement and said, "Well, keep going!"

Hu Youyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't just shout, you have to work hard."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Okay, you arrange the program and I'll sponsor the drinks."

"That's right." Hu Youyu nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, I'll go upstairs and put my things down first."

Hu Youyu stood up and went upstairs with his suitcase.

After a while, he came down again with his guitar on his back.

"gone."

"We're going to the bar now?"

"I have to go to the cafe and buy a cup of coffee first to coax myself into going to work." Hu Youyu waved his hand nonchalantly and walked out.

The courtyard became quiet again. Chen Mo rubbed Fatty Orange's head and said, "You are more comfortable now. You don't have to earn food by yourself."

"Meow~~"

On the Yujing Bridge, the sound of camel bells is clear and melodious.

A graceful woman in a white long dress and an English flat-brimmed hat walked onto the bridge, and the sound of rolling suitcases and the sound of horse hooves were heard.

Suddenly, a breeze blew from the Heihui River.

The woman let out a light cry and quickly pressed down the top of her hat. Her long black hair was disheveled in the wind and her skirt fluttered in the wind.

The beauty has a slender figure like a willow. When the brim of her hat is raised, her gentle face is revealed, and her eyebrows and eyes are as tender as water.

The river breeze ruffles the autumn water, creating layers of ripples.

Under the bridge, Hu Youyu stood there in a daze.

Suddenly, the wind seemed to blow into his heart. It was clearly autumn now, but he could feel the rippling of spring water.

At this moment, only one thought emerged in Hu Youyu's mind:
I. am in love.
