Chapter 137: Couple Instance

~7 min read 1,335 words

Su Mian was indeed so hungry that her brain crashed. Although she didn't show an expression of stomach pain because she was already used to it, the dull pain brought about made her react slowly.

So she sat on the suitcase, wrapped her knees, looking a little pitiful.

Si Shi froze for a moment. He meant to pull the suitcase up and sit on it, but Su Mian sat directly inside the suitcase, and kindly threw his clothes to the other side.

Hmm.

A little cute.

However, he knew Su Mian was really starving, so he didn't linger and turned to go to the kitchen.

Si Shi walked in and rolled up his sleeves, revealing a section of powerful forearm.

He lit the stove, flipped the pot with one hand, and put it on the stove. There wasn't much oil left, but fortunately, it could be used.

He washed the pitifully few cabbages, chopped them all up, put them into the beaten egg liquid, and placed the luncheon meat on the edge of the pot to fry, calm but quick-handed.

It took about ten minutes to walk out of the kitchen, serving a plate of vegetables and rice to the starving girl, and then sat on the other side of the suitcase.

"Too little oil, the luncheon meat is a bit burnt."

Su Mian shook her head, indicating it didn't matter, and then ate mouthful after mouthful, her pink lips stained with oil, her cheeks bulging as she ate.

Don't know if it was because she was starving, but the cabbage scrambled eggs with only salt became exceptionally delicious, and the burnt parts of the luncheon meat were even more fragrant.

She suddenly felt that letting this man exchange for rent by cooking was simply the most successful decision she had ever made.

The two sat back to back in silence like this, one with her head down eating fiercely, the other sitting on the other side wiping his hands slowly.

The pleasure brought by satiety made her curl her eyes. She stood up, intending to put the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen.

But she found that the man didn't know when he had stood up and had been staring at her from the balcony.

"You look beautiful when you smile."

Su Mian froze, pretending not to hear, and went to the kitchen to put down the bowls and chopsticks.

When leaving, he gave her a Band-Aid. It turned out that this person noticed the wound on her hand.

After thanking him, Su Mian went to find Qiao Yinuo again. Although the two couldn't be called friends, living together had become the norm.

Su Mian still couldn't imagine if Qiao Yinuo suddenly disappeared like Su Tang, whether she could bear it.

Qiao Yinuo's "Fresh Delivery" box was still placed at the door, indicating that she hadn't gone out at all, and hadn't opened the door after she left.

Knock knock–

"Dong Xuan, are you there?"

No one answered in the door, and there was no movement at all.

Su Mian felt something was wrong and knocked on the door much louder, "Dong Xuan?"

Just when she wanted to know if she should use some physical means to break in, Tattoo and Qiao Yinuo rushed down from upstairs.

"Su... He Sansan."

Qiao Yinuo almost called the wrong name again. She covered her mouth, vaguely feeling some regret.

Su Mian blinked, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the two, and then her gaze looked at Qiao Yinuo, asking what happened.

Qiao Yinuo immediately pulled Su Mian up, smiled at Tattoo, Tattoo nodded to indicate, and put his hand into his coat pocket and went upstairs.

The two entered the room together. Qiao Yinuo's expression looked nervous and excited.

"After you left, I finished reading the script."

"It told me I have a boyfriend named Tattoo."

Su Mian froze for a second before reacting, "Couple instance?"

Qiao Yinuo nodded, "I was too scared, thinking that person should also be a player, so I went up to find him boldly, but, but I didn't expect..."

She stopped talking, her face flushed red.

"I didn't expect that Meng Ziqi to be quite handsome. San San, I've been to the bar so many times, and I haven't met this type, the type of uncle who still has charm."

Qiao Yinuo said it with gestures, and the girl who had always been straightforward actually covered her mouth while speaking, her face flushed red.

"He is really gentlemanly and reliable. He told me a lot of game rules, and answered every question, and told me not to be nervous or scared. We chatted for a long time..."

Su Mian looked at her excited expression for a long time.

"He only told you these?"

Qiao Yinuo suddenly thought of something and took out her phone, "And this, he told me about this Fresh Delivery software."

She explained the news she had inquired about very generously to Su Mian.

"It seems we can only buy vegetables from here in the future. He told me that this software can only be bought once a day, and there are specification restrictions. It is best to finish buying before nine o'clock."

"And you can group order, group order will be cheaper."

Su Mian supported her chin and looked at her, "So... did you buy tomorrow's vegetables?"

Qiao Yinuo nodded, "I bought them, vegetable coins were exchanged for continuance, but nothing happened after I clicked."

Su Mian felt something was wrong when she heard this, and she stopped talking.

"So you don't know if Meng Ziqi used continuance to exchange for vegetable coins? You just exchanged it after listening to his words?"

Qiao Yinuo just wanted to nod, and then froze suddenly. After reacting, she took a deep breath.

Yes, he just said it. As for what "continuance" was, and what would happen after exchanging it, he might not know either.

He might just be guiding, guiding Qiao Yinuo to be the person who took the first step. After the result of exchanging coins was safe, he achieved his ultimate goal.

Su Mian frowned, and Qiao Yinuo shook like a sieve, her face pale.

"San San... what will happen after exchanging?"

"I, I am really too stupid."

Her breathing was unstable. Su Mian lowered her eyes to think, and stroked Qiao Yinuo's back smoothly.

"There is no movement at present, which means it is safe, don't panic."

Besides, this was the only channel to obtain food sources. The system wouldn't be stupid enough to let them go on a dead end, just not sure what "continuance" really was.

Her words were like a sedative, making Qiao Yinuo breathe a sigh of relief, and also making her learn a lesson. This scam covered in frosting really gave her a lesson.

If she guessed correctly, Tattoo's idea should be to observe Qiao Yinuo.

If Qiao Yinuo didn't die after using continuance, or didn't have other side effects, he would use continuance to exchange for vegetable coins. Sure enough, he was the number one on the Detective Ranking. His ability to confuse people and sit back and reap the benefits was not to be underestimated.

Su Mian suddenly thought of something. She pointed to Qiao Yinuo's phone.

"Open that software and see."

Hearing this, Qiao Yinuo opened the software. There were several more messages in the background. She clicked on them tremblingly and found that many residents were initiating group orders with her.

Madam Liu of Building 2 initiated a group order with you.

Resident 501 of Building 1 initiated a group order with you.

Resident 602 of Building 2 initiated a group order with you.

Building 1...

Qiao Yinuo swallowed and looked at Su Mian in panic.

Su Mian didn't express her opinion immediately, checked the shopping baskets of several users who initiated group orders, and then lost in thought. Then she slid to the main interface, and her gaze fell on that "Today's Must-Buy". ===== CHAPTER 138 =====
