Chapter 878: Meeting You, I Am Back to Life 5
Lingyao simply sliced the watermelon and placed it on the table, then waited boredly for Shen Qi to come back.
Fortunately, it didn't take long. When it was getting dark, Shen Qi knocked on the door and entered the room in the last rays of daylight.
When he came back, he bought some vegetables on the way. He put the vegetables aside before walking towards Lingyao.
"Is everything alright? Has Officer Li been here?"
The Officer Li he was referring to was the female police officer.
Lingyao nodded: "I've been here before, it's okay."
Shen Qi nodded in relief, put down his schoolbag and prepared to carry the vegetables to cook.
But his eyes stopped on the evenly cut watermelon on the table.
When he came in just now, he smelled a very sweet watermelon fragrance. He thought he had smelled it wrongly, but when he saw the bright red watermelon slices in front of him, he realized that he was not wrong.
"Was it brought by Officer Li?" Shen Qi asked Lingyao.
Lingyao thought for a while and decided to lie and say that it was Officer Li who brought it. She would probably be exposed tomorrow, so she might as well just make it up.
"No, I bought it."
Shen Qi's gentle and clean eyes widened for a moment: "Did you buy it?" He was a little shocked.
First of all, although the watermelon on the table was cut into slices, the quantity was very large and almost filled up the small table. Lingyao was small and thin, so how did she carry it back?
Secondly, Lingyao probably didn’t have any money on her. After all, she was only wearing a worn-out short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and she didn’t look like she had any money.
But Lingyao insisted that she was the one who bought it. Seeing that she had a cold face and didn't want to say more at such a young age, Shen Qi didn't ask any more questions.
He turned around, picked up the vegetables and took the basin, ready to get water to wash them.
Lingyao pulled the man back and said, "Eat the melon."
The weather was very hot and the distance from the school to here was not short. It took Shen Qi an hour to get there and his mouth was dry.
Shen Qi glanced at Lingyao, then at the melon, his mouth twitched slightly, and just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Lingyao.
"If you don't eat melon, then I won't eat the food you cook."
Although the little girl in front of me looks serious, the words she says are always strong and irresistible.
Shen Qi pursed his lips and put down the dish in his hand.
But he still took the basin and went out.
Lingyao looked at the God of Wealth's back without any reluctance and got angry!
She is not afraid of things, nor is she afraid of things happening. She is not afraid of things happening, nor is she afraid of not things happening. She is afraid that things will not happen, and she is afraid that things will not happen. Do you understand?
Baofu: "…What is the host baby saying? There is no response even after copying it to Pinxixi."
Lingyao: "Haha, you don't understand my sense of humor at all. Pick a day to leave while the soil is loose these two days."
Get rich: "..."
After a while of fighting wits and courage with the rich man, Shen Qi had already washed the basin and came in.
He put the watermelon into the basin, carried it to the stool and put it down, then waved to Lingyao.
"Come and eat here, it's convenient." After saying that, he added, "I'll eat too."
Lingyao then stood up and walked over.
Each of them picked up a piece of watermelon.
After Lingyao took the first bite, she realized that this watermelon was indeed a little different from ordinary watermelons.
Logically speaking, it would be good if the watermelon did not go bad after being stored in this old house with no air conditioning or refrigerator for most of the day on such a hot day. Not only did it not go bad at all, but it was icy cold when you took a bite, and it made you feel cooler too.
Lingyao doesn't like sweet food, but she still ate several pieces.
Shen Qi ate very slowly, holding the watermelon rind in both hands and taking small bites, savoring each bite.
Lingyao had already eaten two pieces, but he had only eaten half of one piece.
After eating a few pieces, Lingyao felt a little full, so she washed her hands and lay down on the bed with her stomach full.
Realizing that Shen Qi was still beside him, he quickly put his hand down.
Shen Qi stopped after eating two pieces. Although the watermelon he hadn't eaten for a long time was a luxury for him, he had not forgotten that he had to cook. After eating, he still had to finish today's homework, so Shen Qi didn't dare to delay.
After eating two pieces, I went to cook.
He bought a bunch of Chinese cabbage, a large sausage and an egg today. He bought the Chinese cabbage at a bargain price at the vegetable market, and it only cost fifty cents.
The ham and eggs cost the same amount of money, and Shen Qi bought them at a discount store near the school.
There are also advantages to coming home late every day. For example, many foods in supermarkets and vegetable markets will be discounted at night, so he can grab bargains.
According to Shen Qi's diet, he usually cooked some noodles at night, and adding a handful of Chinese cabbage was considered good enough.
I just thought that there was Lingyao in the room today, and she should eat better at her age, so I bought some meat.
He fried a ham, egg and vegetable rice and served a bowl to Lingyao first.
Lingyao had been busy all day and was very exhausted, so she took it and ate it without any psychological burden.
Shen Qi cooked the rice according to the two of them, as he was afraid of cooking too much and wasting it. But when he saw Lingyao eating with big mouthfuls, he quietly took out some from his own bowl.
But in the end, the rice returned to Shen Qi's bowl, and Lingyao stopped eating after finishing the rice in her bowl.
After putting down his chopsticks, he would look at Shen Qi from time to time.
She was thinking about what excuse she could find to trick Shen Qi out, or maybe let her go out alone.
She wanted to sell the jade in her hand, but that was not the main point. The main thing was that she wanted to buy some clothes and daily necessities.
Shen Qi and the female police officer both assumed that Lingyao would only stay with Shen Qi for a day or two, and had no plans to get Lingyao any daily necessities. Even if Shen Qi had this idea, he did not have the conditions to do so.
Lingyao still has to rely on herself.
However, when she suggested going out for a walk, Shen Qi rejected her idea.
"It's not very safe here at night. It's not good for you to go out alone. Why do you suddenly want to go out?"
Seeing that Shen Qi was so determined, Lingyao simply said it straight out.
"Buy some clothes to change into, or they'll go bad."
It was a hot day and there was no air conditioning in the room. Although the temperature in Lingyao's bracelet space was very suitable, this was not the case in this room.
As a result, both of them were sweating while eating, but luckily there was leftover watermelon to relieve the heat.
Lingyao couldn't help but pick up two slices of ice watermelon while eating, and Shen Qi also ate one.
It’s not that he thinks it’s better to eat it hot, after all, he is used to it. He just thinks that if so many watermelons are not eaten today, they will definitely go bad tomorrow, which is a waste.
After Lingyao said she wanted to buy clothes, she added another sentence.
"I have money here, you can buy a few sets too."
Shen Qi didn't take Lingyao's words seriously. He just thought that this little girl Lingyao probably had no idea how much a piece of clothing cost, so she said such things.
After all, when Lingyao was picked up, she was in such a miserable state, and it didn't look like she had enough money to wear several sets of clothes.
But after hearing Lingyao say this, Shen Qi felt a little embarrassed. He had overlooked this point. He only had two sets of school uniforms, which he washed and changed every day. When it was hot, he washed them at night and they would be dry the next day.
It was indeed that he had not thought it through. She was a little girl and she definitely needed to change her clothes.
