Dating the Strongest Boss

Chapter 46 - Cannibal Town

“Eh eh eh.” The man was shocked by the sudden appearance of a person on the side of the road. His throat could not help but tighten, and then frantically pressed the horn on the motorcycle, both feet on the ground, emergency braking.

After the bike came to a stop, the man was filled with anger and cursed at the man, “Are you sick? Look at the road!”

Xiao Chen paused and did not react to the man’s cursing words, as if it didn’t matter what he did. While his cheeks looked even more hollow than before, and his entire body had little flesh and much less spirit, he still preferred to block his jaw with a turtleneck sweater.

“Pay more attention next time!!!” The man yelled out.

The man was in a hurry to go to work, so he didn’t bother to argue with Xiao, but he was too angry, so he just whispered a few curses and drove away shakily.

Xiao Chen was a little distracted and watched the man’s distant back without paying too much attention to him. He stood dumbly in the same place for a few minutes before he woke up like a dream, looked around, and then continued to walk forward.

“Boss, give me a bunch of green gypsophila.” The girl had a glance at the flowers in the flower shop and called out to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen nodded numbly and stood up from his position, then took out the wrapping paper from the cabinet next to him. He walked over to the girl and wrapped it for her.

The girl paused and frowned, “No, I want the green ones, not the purple ones!”

With a pause, Xiao Chen dropped his eyes and picked up the green gypsophila on the side again to wrap it for her.

It was clear that this was not the first time the girl has come to this shop. She looked at Xiao Chen’s state and then around inside the flower shop. She couldn’t help but mutter, “Boss, what’s wrong with you lately? I saw the shop had been closed for a long time, but now that it’s reopened again, how come there are still several pots of rotten flowers in the shop that you forgot to throw away.”

Xiao Chen was stunned and followed her gaze to a pile of wilted roses placed by the wall corner.

Not one or two, but there are countless of them all piled up in the corner. There were no other varieties of rotten flowers, only red roses. Looking over, it seems like it was deliberately put there, and there is a kind of visual effect.

Xiao Chen looked at this pile of flowers and lowered his head. It was unknown whether it was self-consolation or what, he sighed and said somewhat absent-mindedly, “Oh, I forgot.”

The girl didn’t think much of it, took her flowers, and hurriedly paid for them. Out of the goodness of her heart, she instructed him a couple of times before leaving with the flowers in her arms.

She had just walked out of the door, but for some reason, as if with a feeling, she suddenly turned back and looked through the glass at the shop.

From where she looked, the young owner was still standing motionless, his eyes resting on the pile of defeated roses, wondering what he was missing. In contrast, the owner, who didn’t like to show his face, pulled off the collar that covered his face, picked something out from inside the collar, held it in his hand, and then smiled.

That smile was a beautiful one.

The thought popped into the girl’s head, and she couldn’t help but whisper it in her mind.

She had been to this shop a few times. The name was strange; it was called Spanish Castle. She spoke good English, and she knew that the name translates to Garden in the Sky.

It was like a sustenance for the soul, a sky garden that encapsulated all of that person’s dreams.

But what did that have to do with her? She scoffed and shook her head, intending to walk forward.

Just as she came back to her senses, her eyes were instantly drawn to another boy on the street.

This boy didn’t look big, but his temperament was unique, mature, and even a little gloomy. He wore a long green trench coat and had bangs that half covered his eyes. His eyes were striking, they looked a little lighter in color and had an unmistakable charm, but he looked a little strange and cold.

The girl stood there, holding the flowers, and met his gaze, and her heart skipped a beat.

The boy glanced at her, at the flowers she was holding in her hand, and finally, he withdrew his gaze and looked towards the flower shop.

“Spanish Castle,” The girl heard the boy pronounce the name softly upon seeing the flower shop, with a tone that was both tender and spoiling, and suddenly, he let out a soft laugh.

The girl opened her mouth, feeling a little confused, and she watched as the boy tugged on his collar and walked towards the flower shop.

“Dingling” It was the sound of the wind chimes shaking as the door opened.

Xiao Chen had his back to the door and reacted at once when he heard the sound, saying smoothly, “Welcome.”

When he turned around and saw the appearance of the visitor, his entire body froze in place.

The boy stood in the doorway against the light, with a smile on his lips, looking at his beloved. He stepped lightly in the other party’s disbelieving gaze. He walked to the other party’s front, attached his palm to his face, and hooked his lips, “I’m back.

Xiao Chen’s hands were a little shaky, and he was a little out of breath. His eyes were staring, and his feet paused in place. As if he was afraid it was a phantom, he didn’t dare to reach out his hand, “You…”

The boy was half a head taller than Xiao Chen and was like a little child who wanted candy. He put his head on Xiao Chen’s left shoulder and kept rubbing against it, saying somewhat playfully, “I missed you so much.”

Xiao Chen clenched his palms as if he had finally accepted the reality and stretched out his hands to hug the boy’s waist. His tone carrying a few unspoken meanings of aggravation and pettiness, “Why did you just come back?”

The boy laughed, hugging Xiao Chen tighter and touching the other’s hair with a thousand unspoken emotions.

“I’m back, and I won’t leave again.”

Xiao Chen nodded his head as he choked a bit.

Tan Jun looked at Xiao Chen’s face, somewhat distressed. He slowly pulled the turtleneck sweater off the other party’s face and attached his palm directly to the other party’s jaw, caressing it carefully, “You’ve lost weight again.”

Huang Ke has initially been a dead baby, born from relying on his flesh and blood! There was a magical bond between them!

And Huang Ke was given his mission from birth – to find Xiao Chen.

And how exactly did the man who killed him with his own hands die?

He was killed by the living Huang Ke.

So Huang Ke was not a human from the beginning; he can only be considered a body, a puppet with a mind. Those letters were ordinary invitations written by the village chief to change the village’s status quo by experimenting with those living people who left the village.

But how can you find those people who have been gone for more than a decade? All of this was also the push he did, just in case, he amplified the points of greed and fear that enticed everyone to come through here.

There was no other reason; it was that he needed to leave here. He would have to destroy this village if he wanted to leave, but he needed someone to stall for him. All of this had to be based on the premise that Xiao Chen was safe and sound. So, he needed to use someone else’s hand, someone who could protect Xiao Chen, someone who could be Xiao Chen’s target, to keep Xiao Chen safe and sound.

And Huang Ke’s body would also be sacrificed to him on the night of the full moon.

Thinking of this, Tan Jun’s gaze withdrew and landed on Xiao Chen’s body, as if he was chasing his light, and his eyes seemed to contain stars. He smiled and hugged Xiao Chen even tighter.

Because only this way, he could stay by Xiao Chen’s side as a person.

Xiao Chen choked a little, and with a low voice, he said, “Tan Jun, we’ll be together for a long time.”

“Eh, boss, you’re looking good today!” The girl once again patronized Spanish Castle after half a month.

Today’s Xiao Chen was very different from the previous Xiao Chen. He no longer covered his face with a turtleneck sweater. He was showing his face generously, and even the color of gloom was no longer between his eyebrows. Instead, there was a kind of unexplainable charm in it.

The girl looked around the place; the interior of the shop had also made a big change. The previous flower shop was simple and even had a few retro vibes.

But today, even the wallpaper on the wall had been replaced with a pair of cartoon paintings.

A cute rainbow snake with an adorable smile and a small rose with a proud face.

There was a bit of playfulness.

The girl looked at the drawing and suddenly laughed out loud.

“Hmm-” the girl thought deeply for two seconds, “Give me a pot of bluebells today.”

Bluebells, tender love.

Xiao Chen nodded and headed inside to carry the flower pot.

“Ding bell.” The chimes hanging from the front door rang once more, and the door was pushed open.

The girl turned back at the sound of the bell, and when she saw the face of the person coming, she was slightly surprised.

It was the man from that day.

Tan Jun was wearing a rather Japanese-style dark green sweater and a beret, and even if he was standing there, he was a sight to behold.

He was carrying two pots of food in a thermos in his hands, and he swept a glance at the female as he entered.

With a familiar approach, he placed his things on the counter. Then, tied on another apron hanging next to the counter. He simply tied a knot, but it was an ugly knot. As a girl with OCD, the sight of it made her want to help him retie it.

Xiao Chen walked out from the back room just then, and Tan Jun turned back at the sound of his voice. He locked eyes with him, his lips smiling and unable to stop rising.

Xiao Chen smiled at him, holding the bluebells and placing them on the counter. His eyes pointed and narrowed, noticing the apron knot Tan Jun tied. He scowled, saying with some helplessness, “How many times have I taught you? Why are you still doing it like this.”

It sounded like a reproach in words, but it sounded like spoiling.

The girl had some toothache when she saw this.

I’m going to die of sourness.

Xiao Chen touched Tan Jun’s hair, which was sticking out of his hat. He propped up his feet again and patted the man’s hair.

After Xiao Chen finished coaxing the man, he finally realized that there was someone next to him. He smiled at the girl and handed the flower pot to her, his eyes narrowed into a line, “Welcome to come again next time.”

The girl stared at Xiao Chen’s face for two seconds and then looked at the man who had been staring intently at the boss since the moment the boss appeared, and couldn’t help but puff out a laugh.

When Xiao Chen saw her expression, he blinked in confusion. In the next second, he unconsciously locked eyes with Tan Jun, who was behind him, as if he was asking if he knew the answer.

The girl smiled and waved her hand, “It’s alright, it’s alright!”

She just saw what love looked like.

What does love look like?

It is just when two people who love each other they simply stay together. Even if you see each other’s face, the corners of your mouth will not be able to stop rising. As soon as I see you, I want to laugh, and when you come, the sky will be clear.

I love you, that’s all.

—

The author has something to say: I love you, that’s all.

All right! Xiao Chen and Tan Jun’s love affair is over! I hope that those who read this also share my love for Xiao Chen and Tan Jun.

Were you all misled by the end of Chapter 3, where Tan Jun says he wants to get rid of the disgusting people? Hahahahaha.

Actually, the people he was trying to get were those old people in the village.

About that world, before Ma Chenggong was reborn, you guys can understand it this way.

In that world, Tan Jun was utterly inhumane, and he didn’t have a reason to leave. He hated this world, so he killed not only the villagers but also those who came here.

In the next world, I hope you guys can still support me!

The attack is sick to the point of cutting off his fingers (don’t panic, don’t worry, it’s going to be fine.)

It’s called Devil Exchange.
