When he returned with the wrapped photos, it was just past twelve o’clock. He placed the photos in front of Du Xi and said proudly, “Brother Du, I promised you that I would finish it in half an hour. It only took me twenty minutes, so I’m efficient, right? The money for printing the photo and the fare for the round trip is a total of 350 yuan. You can transfer the money to me by WeChat.”

Du Xi glanced at him with a spurious smile. “Tang San, I haven’t seen you for only a day, but you’ve become much bolder. You actually dare to lie to me now.”

Seeing that his lie had been exposed, Tang San smiled at Du Xi with a guilty expression. “Hehe, Brother Du, you’re really smart. I didn’t spend that much money printing the photos. In addition, I passed by a BBQ restaurant just now and couldn’t help but go in to eat, so it’s a total of 350 yuan.”

When he went out, he had yet to eat breakfast. After working for the morning, his stomach was already growling. When he came back, he passed by a BBQ restaurant. The aroma that wafted out enticed him and he couldn’t help but go in to eat.

Du Xi couldn’t stand to see his wretched expression and kicked him away.

Tang San ran out. After closing the door, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Brother Du should start a relationship and find a woman to control his bad temper.” Just as he finished speaking, a WeChat notification sounded on his phone. He opened it and immediately smiled. Although Brother Du had a bad temper, he was still very magnanimous to people like them. With this thousand yuan, he could go out and drink a few more times.

After dinner, Jiang Ju looked at the man standing in front of her with a one-meter-long photo. Her expression was indescribable and she had mixed feelings. Du Xi immediately understood when he saw her expression. He leaned against the door frame as he stared at her with a malicious smile on his face and said, “Young lady, I told you yesterday that I wanted to print the photo for you, and you agreed. Now that I’ve spent so much money to print the photo and frame it for you, you’re not allowed to go back on your word.”

It was already midnight when the two of them returned yesterday. Jiang Ju washed up briefly before falling asleep on the bed. When she woke up in the morning, she had completely forgotten about this matter and had not even looked at WeChat. Therefore, she never expected that Du Xi would give him a photo of himself with his upper body naked.

His skin was tan and shiny, his shoulders were broad, and his waist was narrow. There were also a few faint scars on his chest muscles. He looked very fierce, like an untamed beast. Not to mention a thief, even if the devil came, he would probably be stunned and wouldn’t be able to tell if he was a friend or foe.

“Don’t just stand there. Hurry up and find a good place to hang this photo. If you don’t choose, I’ll hang it above your bed.” As Du Xi used the gentlest tone to say the most terrifying threat, Jiang Ju was so frightened that her entire body trembled. If this photo was hung above her bed, not to mention whether it would scare others, wouldn’t she be the most frightened one? Would she even be able to sleep well?

She pursed her lips tightly. She knew that Du Xi was a man of his word, so she had no choice but to point in the direction of the second bedroom. “Just hang it in the second bedroom. I don’t go over often, so I won’t be frightened by it easily.”

Du Xi was speechless. The reason he printed it out was to let her see his handsome face and good figure every day. If he put it into the second bedroom now, how could she see it every day? “The second bedroom isn’t a good location. Let’s hang it in the living room. The bad guys will see it the moment they enter, so it’s safer.” Du Xi made up his mind.

With the big photo in the living room, it would be redundant to place the small photo in the living room. Du Xi’s eyes darted around before he set his sights on the door of Jiang Ju’s bedroom. “Put this small one at the head of your bed. If you have nothing to do, look at it more often to bolster your courage.”

He made the decision directly. Jiang Ju glared at him in an attempt to express her dissatisfaction, but in the end, she didn’t have the courage to speak. She could only watch helplessly as he placed the photo at the head of the bed.

The large photo hanging in the living room could be seen from the sofa. Therefore, Jiang Ju wandered around the living room for a long time but didn’t dare to go to the sofa. After Du Xi came out of the kitchen, he placed the soup on the coffee table before asking her to come over. “I know you’ve eaten, so come over and drink some soup.”

It wasn’t long after Jiang Ju ate, so her stomach was already bulging and she could no longer eat anything else. She stood on the spot, since she didn’t want to go over. Seeing that she didn’t move, Du Xi walked over and carried her to the sofa to sit down. “If you don’t want me to feed you personally, you can drink it yourself with a spoon.”
