Days and nights of pursuit of Dottore

Chapter 151 Friends

Stepping on tartar sand.

Aqi was sitting on a low stool. There was a bowl of black porridge on the small table in front of him. Cheng Yan was eating it with relish beside him.

He felt uneasy. Although he knew yesterday that Cheng Yan agreed to help Ta'er Sword Forge to overcome the difficulties, the details still needed to be discussed with Niyu. Now Aqi and the others were looking at the door anxiously, hoping to wait for Niyu to come back with good news as soon as possible.

"Huh? Why don't you eat?"

Cheng Yan wiped his mouth, raised the bowl and said, "Another bowl!"

His attention was diverted for a moment by Cheng Yan's shout. Looking at the porridge in front of him that was darker than ink, Aqi looked embarrassed.

"You drink mine."

Cheng Yan's eyes lit up, "Really? This porridge is not bad, why don't you try it?"

Aqi shook his head decisively and pushed his bowl in front of Cheng Yan, "Drink it quickly."

Today's cook must have been drunk last night, otherwise he would not have made such terrible porridge.

Looking up at the second bowl that Cheng Yan quickly emptied, Aqi swallowed.

He is not an ordinary person as he can drink this stuff without changing his expression.

"Phew, I'm full."

Cheng Yan touched his satisfied stomach and turned around to find Aqi looking at him.

"what happened?"

Aqi's face was tangled, "I'm afraid you'll be poisoned to death."

Cheng Yan couldn't help laughing, "Haha, do you think you care about me?"

Without pushing away the person who was approaching him, Aqi's face wrinkled, "This porridge looks more terrible than poison."

"Don't worry, you see, I've finished drinking, it's not a problem--"

The words stopped abruptly, and Archie's pupils constricted as he looked at the person lying on his legs.

"Hey!"

Cheng Yan closed his eyes tightly, without any reaction.

Aqi immediately stood up and tried to help the man up, "Don't die, I'll go find someone to help, Guimu! Come quickly!"

As soon as he shouted, the person next to him who had his head down just now smiled and hugged his neck.

"Haha, I was just teasing you."

A surge of anger rose from his chest to his face. Archie stepped hard on Cheng Yan's foot. The bump on the sole of his clogs made Cheng Yan jump up.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

"How can you joke about something like this!"

His face flushed, he raised his hand to scold Cheng Yan, and Aqi's eyes turned red with anger.

"I was wrong, I was wrong." Seeing that he was really angry, Cheng Yan hurriedly hugged him to comfort him, but was pushed away again.

Aqi sat back in silence, looking up and continuing to stare at the door, like a motionless statue.

Cheng Yan leaned over again, his tone pitiful.

"Forgive me, I promise it won't happen again."

"Hmph." The instability in his heart had not yet completely dissipated. Aqi glared at Cheng Yan, but kicked the stool next to him.

Cheng Yan smiled, "I knew you were the best."

Sit next to Aqi and continue waiting for Niwa to come back.

Holding his chin and looking at Aqi's round face, Cheng Yan raised his hand and put a box on the table.

"Have some candy. You need energy so early in the morning."

Aqi lowered his eyes, glanced at it, and then looked away.

"Pastry... yesterday's pastry was delicious."

"You like it? Then I'll make some later. We don't have that ready-made."

"Um...thank you."

With red cheeks, Archie didn't know why he made a request to the person in front of him so naturally, even though they just met yesterday.

"Yo, I'm back."

Reminded by Cheng Yan, Aqi looked up and saw Niwa striding towards him, and quickly stood up to greet him.

"I am back!"

Guimu rolled and crawled faster than Aqi ran, "You're back? How's it going!"

Niwa calmed down his breathing. "They are willing to supply us, and the price has dropped by half. Although it is still higher than the market price, with the help of Brother Cheng Yan, the customer will not breach the contract. Now we just need to speed up production and get that batch of goods out."

"Great!"

Katsuragi suddenly pounced on Niwa, and the two of them almost fell to the ground together.

Aqi also stomped his feet excitedly, looked around with sparkling eyes, and happened to meet Cheng Yan's gaze.

Cheng Yan opened his arms and said cooperatively, "Come on, let's celebrate too."

Seeing that Aqi was hesitant to move, Cheng Yan went forward to hug him and put his lips close to his ear.

"See, I told you nothing would happen here."

[Drop——The target person’s heartbreak level is -30, the current heartbreak level is 45]

His heart beat faster, and Archie raised his hand and gently stroked Cheng Yan's back.

"Thank you."

Cheng Yan loosened his hand and rubbed his head twice, "Thank you so much, friends, don't be polite with me."

The progress was faster than he had imagined. Cheng Yan looked at the innocent person in front of him.

A knife-forging factory makes him so satisfied. What did this guy go through in the past?

"Friends..." Although it was a familiar word, Archie repeated it several times on his tongue.

"Yes, we are friends!" The young man smiled so warmly that Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment.

After reacting, with a smile on his lips, he raised his hand and grabbed Archie's shoulder.

"Come on, help your friend make snacks for my friend."

The light in Aqi's eyes had not completely disappeared yet, and he held Cheng Yan's arm and spoke.

"Why don't you just say you'll make snacks for me?"

"Don't you think the word 'friend' sounds nice?"

“It seems… yes.”

"Haha."
