Chapter 348: Hill

"Alright, Yana, hurry up and take a bath and go to sleep. Tomorrow, Mom will take you all to the amusement park," Cynthia said.

"Okay, Mom, goodnight." Xiana happily ran into the bathroom to wash up.

"Hey, Cynthia, Ash should still be outside, right?" At this moment, Cynthia’s mother suddenly walked out and asked.

"Yes!" Cynthia nodded.

"He’s still outside? I was planning to bring him a bowl of instant noodles to eat," Cynthia’s mother complained.

"Mom, Ash has already grown up. He won't starve to death if he doesn't eat," Cynthia consoled her.

"Alright then! I'm going in to wash up and rest too," Cynthia’s mother said.

"Mm! Goodnight." Cynthia waved her hand with a smile.

Half a month passed, and Ash’s strength grew stronger and stronger, while Cynthia successfully reached the peak of puberty and was about to have her coming-of-age ceremony.

"Xiao Qing, let's go out to eat tonight. My treat," Ash said, standing at the door.

"Really?" Xiao Qing’s eyes lit up.

"Uh, is that not okay?" Ash said helplessly, as he felt Cynthia’s gaze.

"Of course it is, let's go!" Xiao Qing said happily upon hearing Ash’s reply.

"Alright then, let's go to the supermarket now!" Ash nodded.

Afterward, Ash and Xiao Qing headed to the supermarket to buy things.

At this time, in Misty’s room, May was sitting on the sofa playing a game.

"Sigh! I'm so tired! I want to rest for a while." May rubbed her shoulders and picked up an apple from the table next to her, taking a bite.

"I want to eat an apple, I want to eat an apple." May bit her finger, her eyes tearing up, looking very aggrieved.

Just then, footsteps were heard. "May, I’m back with the fruit." Ash entered the room carrying a bag of apples and handed the fruit to May.

"Thank you, brother." May called out sweetly.

"Alright, get some rest early," Ash said, gently patting May’s head.

"Mm," May said obediently, then climbed into bed to sleep. May was already very tired today.

After watching May fall asleep, Ash turned off the light and lay down on the sofa to sleep.

The next morning, Ash woke up. He glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already past eight.

"It hurts!" Ash clutched his waist.

"Knock, knock, knock~~~"

"Who is it?" Ash walked out of the bedroom. After opening the door, he saw that the person outside was actually Cynthia. "Huh? Why is it you?" Ash asked, surprised.

"Hmph! What did you do last night? Why do I feel like you’re drunk?" Cynthia said unhappily. She hadn't slept well last night, constantly worrying about Ash.

"Uh, actually, it’s nothing! I just watched too much TV last night and fell asleep without realizing it," Ash explained awkwardly.

"Fine! Since you’re okay, come shopping with me!" Cynthia rolled her eyes at Ash and said.

"Uh~ sure! But I need to change my clothes first!" Ash said, scratching his head.

"Go change quickly! I’ll wait for you!" Cynthia said.

"Mm!"

Ash went into the bedroom, changed into a black T-shirt and black pants, and then he and Cynthia left the house.

"Brother! Sister!" Just as they stepped out, they ran into Hill. CHAPTER 745

"Hehe, Hill, why are you at home?" Ash teased. He remembered that his sister usually wouldn't be at home.

"I came to find my mom," Hill said.

"Then go ahead, bye-bye!" Ash said.

"Bye-bye!" Hill turned and walked toward the house.

"Ash, you and May must get along well! You are both still just children!" Cynthia urged.

"Uh! Don't worry! I will take good care of May," Ash said with an awkward smile.

"Mm! I’m leaving then." After saying that, Cynthia turned and left.

Meanwhile, in the supermarket, Ash was pushing a shopping cart, with Cynthia following behind him.

"Ash! What are you buying?" Cynthia asked curiously.

"Buying some ingredients! After all, tomorrow is the weekend, and I want to cook a meal for you," Ash said earnestly.

"Mm-hmm!" Cynthia nodded with satisfaction and then pulled Ash along to continue picking out ingredients.

In the end, Ash spent 2,000 yuan and bought a lot of vegetables.

"Whew~~"

Ash was pushing the cart slowly along the road when suddenly, a car stopped in front of him, blocking his path.

"Hey! Kid, didn't you see our car? Move aside." At this moment, the car window rolled down, revealing a fierce face inside.

"Uh!" Ash looked up at the license plate and then muttered to himself.

"Sorry! Sir, we didn't see you." Ash said with a smile, then parked the shopping cart to the side and signaled for Cynthia to push the car away.

"You...!" the driver said, furious. CHAPTER 746

"Hello, Boss, it’s you again!" Ash said, surprised.

"Uh, young man, we really are fated!" the boss said, looking at Ash with a smile.

"Hehe! We really are quite fated." Ash said awkwardly.

"Right! Boss, what do you need to buy this time?" Ash asked.

"I don't need your help this time, I’ll just go get it myself," the boss said, his smile fading, speaking flatly.

"Alright then!" Ash said.

"Are you an employee of this supermarket?" the boss suddenly changed the subject.

"Uh? Yes, I am!" Ash said.

"I am the owner of this supermarket. What is your name?" the boss said.

"Uh, my name is Ash," Ash said.

"Mm-hmm!" the boss nodded.

"Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going," the boss said.

"Oh, okay. Goodbye!" Ash waved his hand to say goodbye.

"Goodbye!" the boss also said politely.

Ash pushed the cart to go pay, but Cynthia beat him to it and paid the bill.

"Let’s go, Ash!" Cynthia said. "Alright!"

"Uh, Brother Ash, Sister, wait for me!" May hurriedly caught up.

"Hey, hey! May, wait for me, don't run!" Ash shouted.

"Uh~~" Ash looked at Cynthia beside him. "We came together! Why did you pay first?"

"Uh! Well, you’re not short on money, right? I couldn't let you treat me, so I paid for you," Cynthia said as if it were a matter of course.

"Aren't you afraid I’ll welsh on the debt later?" Ash pouted and said. CHAPTER 747
