Chapter 12: Qin Xiulin

【What exactly are these Fried Fries? How can they be so delicious? So delicious that it's heartbreaking!】

【What on earth have I been eating all this time?】

【Sob, sob, sob, this Tomato Sauce, really, I'm crying to death, Boss, you deserve to be enshrined in the Imperial Temple!】

【This is all what I deserve after working so diligently and painstakingly for so many years!】

【I prefer the Roasted Sweet Potato more, can I have some more?】

【Boss, my life is already bitter enough, I urgently need a little sweetness. I really need your Roasted Sweet Potato, otherwise, I'm really going to die.】

【Say no more, say no more, I have already knelt down to the Boss.】

……

Ruan Mian saw the messages from customers piling up higher and higher in her Light Brain; everyone was a talent, and they spoke so nicely.

I really love being internet friends with them~

Seeing so many people clowning around and being funny, Ruan Mian smiled and left a notice for everyone.

【Ruan Ruan: Thank you all for liking my shop's goods. Today's items are sold out, they will be back on the shelves tomorrow~】

After posting it, she began to check today's orders.

She couldn't help but cover her mouth, subconsciously exclaiming out loud.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yi crossed to her side in almost two steps.

Ruan Mian was incredibly excited.

She grabbed his arms and jumped up and down happily several times.

"Ahhh, I earned so much! Haha, guess how much we earned?!"

Her nervous mood was suddenly infected by her happy mood, causing him to let out a helpless, low chuckle.

"Mm, truly impressive, how much did we earn?" His tone was so gentle with doting that even he didn't notice it.

"It's that we are very impressive!"

Her bright eyes gave affirmation to their efforts.

She raised her wrist, a small sense of pride appearing on her face, "Ta-da! We earned over eight thousand Interstellar Coin!"

Not only was the debt paid off, but there was also over one thousand Interstellar Coin left over!

"I'll split half with you!"

Lu Yi waved his hand, "No need."

"It's only right, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to handle it alone."

Basically, the fries were all peeled, cut, and fried by him; although he had Mental Power for support, it was still done by him properly.

This is what he deserves.

"Must! It must be done!"

Although she loves the feeling of earning money, she isn't stingy.

Her wrist was firmly grasped by his large palm, stopping her movement to transfer the money.

He lowered his head and leaned in, a warm breath spilling onto her ear, his low, magnetic voice brushing past.

"No need, consider it my food expenses, alright?"

His voice kissed the tip of her ear, and a wave of heat rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head; her ears were almost burning up.

As if scalded, she retreated several steps, her throat feeling slightly parched.

"O-okay, I know."

She kept a golden rule in her heart: 'As long as I'm not embarrassed, the embarrassed one is someone else,' but the current atmosphere was both awkward and ambiguous!

It felt as if the air had become viscous.

The person beside her didn't feel any embarrassment at all!!!!

"I, I'll take out that Medical Pod."

The best way to solve one topic is to start another.

Before Lu Yi had time to stop her, she had already taken out that white Medical Pod and placed it carelessly in the room.

The already cramped house seemed even more crowded.

"Ruan Mian!" He walked quickly toward her, wanting to block her behind him, but before he could reach her, the Medical Pod shed its white mist, revealing the transparent panel and the person lying inside.

With a creak, the Medical Pod hissed as if deflating, the hatch opened, and the man inside sat up.

He shook his neck; the injuries on his body had all been healed.

Lu Yi blocked Ruan Mian behind him, his pupils, which originally carried a world-weary look, looking at the Medical Pod with intense ferocity.

That man's sharp, eagle-like gaze also projected over, and at the same time, a massive wave of Mental Power enveloped them and suppressed them.

Ruan Mian couldn't move; it was that annoying feeling again, controlling her entire body.

She couldn't move a muscle.

But the person in front of her didn't seem to be affected, though his body was trembling slightly.

Gritting his teeth, Lu Yi resisted with all his might.

If he hadn't been injected with an Inhibitor, his Mental Power would never lose to this man!

A metallic, bloody taste surged into his throat.

The next instant, that massive Mental Power was withdrawn completely, as if everything had been a hallucination.

Ruan Mian regained control of her body.

"Hey, how can you be like this!"

Lu Yi didn't even have time to react before he watched that petite figure rush toward the man like a little firecracker.

'That year I stood with my hands on my hips, not knowing what an opponent was.'

Ruan Mian was exactly like this now, her heart long since occupied by a surge of fury.

"No matter what, I saved you, didn't I? You didn't say a word, let me put you into the Light Brain, swindled me out of such a huge sum, and as soon as you woke up, you attacked us again. You are simply ungrateful!"

Qin Xiulin swept his fingertip across the Light Brain, sent out the signal, and only then touched the bridge of his nose with a hint of awkwardness.

He used his Mental Power to blanket his side out of reflex, and whenever he encountered resistance, he would strike out.

Fortunately, however, he knew his limits and withdrew it quite quickly.

"Apologies."

"Hmph." What use is an apology so fast? This debt will be settled exactly as it should be, and it must be settled well. She spread her palm toward him, her momentum fully unleashed.

Although he possessed an inexplicable sense of majesty, one must not lose face even if they lose the argument; even brothers must settle accounts clearly!

"Pay up!"

Qin Xiulin's gaze landed on the palm of her hand.

To be precise, from the moment she walked quickly to his side, he had felt a trace of familiarity.

Previously, he had been severely injured, which seriously affected his judgment, but at this moment, he could feel it with absolute clarity.

"What are you looking at? You can afford a Medical Pod, so you can't be this stingy, right? Anyway, I don't care, you..."

Her palm was grasped by him; the sudden movement made her voice pitch higher in fright. She wanted to pull away, but could not.

"What are you doing!"

His other hand wrapped around her slender waist, so soft that one dared not use force.

At the same time, he did not forget to use his Mental Power to control the man who wanted to do something.

With a forceful pull of his hand, the two bodies closed the distance, pressing tightly together.

With one movement, the two switched positions; Ruan Mian's back hit the Medical Pod, and her free hand struggled to push against his chest.

This person, his body was hard, like pressing against a wall.

"Y-you, what are you doing!"

He lowered his head, leaning over, his scorching breath spilling onto her neck, his somewhat stiff hair brushing against her cheek, tickling her.

It forced her head to desperately try to escape.

Ruan Mian felt the head on her shoulder sniff her like a puppy.

Then she met those eyes of his, glowing with a blue hue, and the red mole on the tip of his nose was bewitching and alluring.

"It's you!"
