Gu Lang looked at the back of Chen Xing, just as he was a little puzzled by Chen Xing’s sudden left. Chen Xing who originally had left, ran back again, only this time there was also a small box in his hand.

 

Gu Lang looked at the box that was somewhat familiar, and then looked at the all smiling Chen Xing, so he gently asked as he smiled, “You just went to get this?”

 

Chen Xing placed the box on the table, listening to it make a ‘bang’ sound, then raised his head to look in Gu Lang’s direction, nodded with extra seriousness and said, “Yes, we’ve worked hard all day today. I got to see how much we’ve gained ah!”

 

Gu Lang looked at the starlight in Chen Xing’s eyes, followed by a nod of the head as he agreed: “What you said is extremely right.”

 

After Chen Xing finished speaking, he joyfully opened the lid of the box, revealing the bits and pieces of copper coins and silver inside.

 

Looking at this full box of benefits, Chen Xing’s eyes smiled so much that they curved into a crescent moon. He pushed the box forward, falling into the center between him and Gu Lang. He looked at him and said, “Are you available to accompany me to count the money now?”

 

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing who smiled brightly, and felt that his words were more like ‘Are you free now to enjoy the happiness together with me?’ 

 

Is Gu Lang free?

 

Gu Lang is naturally free.

 

Hence, Gu Lang nodded at Chen Xing, who was staring at him expectantly, and then the two of them divided the box of money into two halves like children dividing candies, and they individually counted the money.

 

Gu Lang counted the money very fast, he finished counting two thirds, Chen Xing only counted one third. He raised his eyes and looked at the bright smile on Chen Xing’s face, and suddenly asked as if he was a little curious: “Do you like money very much?”

 

When Chen Xing heard Gu Lang’s words, his hand paused for a moment, before then he raised his head to look at Gu Lang, his eyes were full of doubts, as if he was wondering why Gu Lang would ask such questions. 

 

Against Chen Xing’s curious gaze, Gu Lang put back the copper coins he had strung at home, listening to the crisp ringing sound he made, and without any trace, he said, “I’m just a little curious, so I casually asked.”

 

Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang, who looked even better under the candle flame, propped his chin with one hand and pondered for a while before slowly saying, “Like money? I don’t think there’s anyone who doesn’t like money ah! But compared to money that I can casually get, I actually enjoy the process of making money on my own even more. No matter how tired I am, as soon as I see the money earned by my hard work, I feel that all my efforts are worth it.”

 

Listening to the delight in Chen Xing’s tone and looking at the smile on his face, Gu Lang silently squeezed the silver money in his hand tightly while swallowing back the words that were on his lips that he wanted to let Chen Xing rest (have a holiday). Since this was what Chen Xing liked, there was no reason for him to stop him, he could only help him lighten his burden in other ways.

 

Chen Xing did not notice the change in Gu Lang’s mind, and after counting the pile of money in his hand, he quickly informed Gu Lang of the amount that it all added up to, and then stared at him with bright eyes, ready to listen to him say how much money they had made in total today.

 

Gu Lang looked at the stars in his eyes and felt that Chen Xing, who was staring at him with such anticipation, was a little bit cute, so he softly said in his expectant eyes, “Today, we earned a total of two taels of silver.”

 

Chen Xing immediately jumped up, and instantly his arms were no longer sore. Although this number did not sound like much, when he calculated it carefully, two taels a day, then it would be sixty taels a month.

 

However, very quickly, Chen Xing collected himself from being extremely excited. With a somewhat downcast look, he looked at Gu Lang and said, “But when I was cooking today, I discovered a very serious problem.”

 

Gu Lang looked at him with a serious expression, and his voice was even gentler, “What’s wrong?”

 

Chen Xing pursed his lips, seemingly a little embarrassed, but soon still muttered in a small voice, “It’s just that, I found out that I can’t fry too many dishes, if I fry too many, I’m afraid that my hands would be too tired.”

 

Chen Xing felt that this could not be blamed on him too. The main problem was that although this body of his seemed to be fit and healthy with no problems, his strength still seemed to be couldn’t be compared with his previous life.
