Chapter 255: Good Acting
The proprietress had already registered the information during this period. She took out the key and led the two of them upstairs.
"Most of the people who have come to the city recently are here for the Saint Maiden Cult selection, so my room has been equipped with special soundproofing devices, so you can rest assured."
After saying that, the boss gave her a look that said "you know what I mean", handed the key to Ruan Xihe and left.
Ruan Xihe hadn't yet figured out what the landlady meant by 'soundproofing' and 'rest assured'.
After a moment, she suddenly thought of something and her face turned red.
Most of the people who participate in the selection of the Holy Maiden Church are couples.
But when a couple is in a room, what needs to be soundproofed and what needs to be assured?
Isn't that the case?
Ruan Xihe turned his head to look at Fu Ling, and was relieved when he found that he was looking down in thought and did not hear what the proprietress had just said.
Not long after, the two reappeared on the street.
On the surface, she was strolling aimlessly with Fu Ling, but in fact, she had been secretly collecting information from people on the street.
The sky gradually darkened and the streets were decorated with lights and colors, which was very different from the bleak atmosphere two days ago.
At this time, Ruan Xihe suddenly found a small stall not far ahead, and the stall was crowded with people.
"Let's go take a look too."
Without waiting for Fu Ling to answer, she pulled Fu Ling and hurriedly came to the outside of the stall.
The place was crowded with people, and the smell of fermenting sweat was spreading among the crowd, causing Fu Ling to frown fiercely, and his aura suddenly turned cold.
Because of the low pressure on Fu Ling, the people around him did not dare to get close to him, but instead automatically made way for him.
Ruan Xihe took the opportunity to pull Fu Ling and went straight to the stall.
This stall sells candy figures, and the owner is a man in his forties or fifties.
Since almost all bosses in Qingcheng are women, this boss should be an outsider who just came to the city in the past two days.
She turned around and looked at Fu Ling.
"Would you like to have one?"
"I don't like sweets." Fu Ling refused immediately.
Seeing that he was filled with coldness, his lips were tightly pursed, and even his face had an expression that said "keep away from strangers", Ruan Xihe shrank his neck.
It turns out that he doesn’t eat enough sweets!
She came close to Fu Ling, looked at him with sparkling eyes, and insisted: "Since you are here, why not buy one?"
The clear eyes looked at him eagerly, full of desire. Fu Ling was about to refuse, but in the end he did not say it.
He pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Boss, I want two sugar men."
Ruan Xihe smiled happily, stretched out his finger and gave the boss a "2".
Hearing this, the boss raised his wrinkled face and glanced at her.
"Okay, what style do you want?"
Ruan Xihe glanced at the boss and found that the wrinkles on his face were strange and inconsistent with his peers. It felt like...
On top of his original face, there was another layer of fake skin!
She calmly withdrew her gaze and pointed at Fu Ling behind her with a smile, "Just draw it like the two of us, can you do it?"
If he is really the boss of Sugar Man, this request is not difficult for him.
But if it was a fake boss, it would be difficult to make it out, so she was actually testing the boss's identity.
When the boss heard her words, he looked up at them.
But after just one glance, the boss withdrew his gaze, frowned, muttered and shook his head.
Ruan Xihe thought the boss couldn't do it.
But just as she was about to speak, the boss spoke.
"You are good at drawing." The boss said to her. After that, the boss hesitated and pointed at Fu Ling, "She...is not easy to draw."
Ruan Xihe became interested, "Why?"
Hearing this, the boss raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
"Isn't the reason obvious? Because she's so beautiful. I can't draw her like that, for fear of damaging her appearance."
What this means is that Ruan Xihe is not good-looking.
Ruan Xihe remained silent.
Just then, a man pushed through the crowd and came to Fu Ling.
He said loudly, "May I ask your name, young lady? I just saw you from a distance and I felt that I had a good impression of you. I would like to invite you to have a cup of tea. Could you please move over?"
After saying that, he seemed to realize that Fu Ling was buying candy figures, and added, "So the young lady likes this stuff, that's easy to say, how many do you want, I'll buy them for you!"
When Ruan Xihe heard someone trying to flirt with Fu Ling, his heart instantly rose to his throat, fearing that Fu Ling would not be able to hold back and punch him into the Sanfang Sea.
"What are you doing! Can't you see she is my wife!"
She quickly turned around and stood in front of Fu Ling, with her hands on her hips, looking like an angry wife who had been teased.
Fu Ling was about to get angry, but when he saw her protecting him, the anger that had risen in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Your wife?"
Hearing this, the man looked at Ruan Xihe suspiciously.
After a moment, he sneered, his eyes filled with disdain and ridicule.
"Are you kidding me? This lady is so pretty, you must be her bodyguard, right?"
"You're not good-looking, you're not tall enough, and I don't see how you can be worthy of this lady. If she's your wife, she'd have to be blind."
At the stall, many people agreed with the man's statement.
Ruan Xihe was speechless. Why was he attacking her by appearance?
Moreover, they both took the disguise pill. Although her height was not as tall as Fu Ling, it was only a few centimeters shorter. After all, they were both about 1.7 meters tall. Why was she shorter?
Just as Ruan Xihe was about to open her mouth to retort angrily, Fu Ling pulled her behind him, held her hand with his backhand, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
Fu Ling looked at Ruan Xihe with gentle and affectionate eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes were so gentle that it seemed as if water could drip out of them.
"I like him enough."
He deliberately lowered his voice so that people could not tell his gender in this noisy environment.
When their eyes met, Ruan Xihe's heart sank.
Fu Ling's eyes were like a whirlpool, with a magical power that seemed to suck her in completely.
She actually had the illusion that Fu Ling had confessed to her, and then she quickly shook her head to get rid of the unrealistic idea in her mind.
After saying that, the smile on Fu Ling's lips faded a bit, his aura suddenly changed, and he looked at the person who spoke with a sharp gaze.
"In my eyes, my husband is good in every way. It is not the turn of outsiders to judge him. If anyone talks too much, I don't mind cutting off his tongue and feeding it to the dogs."
When he spoke the last part, his tone suddenly turned cold, and he was filled with murderous intent.
The man sensed the murderous intent, swallowed in horror, and staggered back several steps.
He pointed at Ruan Xihe and Fu Ling, his tongue tied.
"You... have guts!"
After saying this, he ran away without looking back, as if Fu Ling was a man-eating monster who would tear him apart and eat him in the next second.
When the onlookers caught Fu Ling's gaze, they all shrank their necks and dared not discuss the matter anymore.
Ruan Xihe tugged at Fu Ling's sleeve.
After Fu Ling turned his head, she raised her eyebrows at him and gave him a thumbs up.
She lowered her voice, covered her mouth with her hand, leaned close to Fu Ling's ear, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that your acting is quite good!"
