Chapter 82: Qin Xiulin

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

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

【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, 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 on her Light Brain; everyone was a talent, and they all 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 in stock tomorrow~】

After posting it, she started checking 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 several times in joy.

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

Her nervous mood was instantly rendered 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 hadn't noticed 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 Coins!"

Not only was the debt paid off, but there were also over a thousand Interstellar Coins 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 as support, it was still done by him in earnest.

This was what he deserved.

"Must! It must be done!"

Although she loved the feeling of earning money, she wasn'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 meal expenses, okay?"

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.

"Okay, okay, I know."

She kept a golden rule in mind: '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 letting out air, the hatch opened, and the man inside sat up.

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

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

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

Ruan Mian regained control of her body.

"Hey, why are you 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 hands on my hips, not knowing what an opponent was.'

That is exactly how Ruan Mian is right now; her heart has long been occupied by a burst 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, scammed me out of such a huge sum, and then the moment you woke up, you attacked us again. You are simply ungrateful!"

Qin Xiulin swept his fingertip across the Light Brain to send out the signal, then rubbed the bridge of his nose, feeling slightly awkward.

He reflexively blanketed his surroundings with his Mental Power, and whenever he encountered resistance, he would attack.

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 needs to be settled well. She spread her palm toward him, her aura fully unleashed.

Although he had an inexplicable sense of majesty, one shouldn't lose their nerve even if they lose the fight; even brothers must keep clear accounts!

"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 startled her so much that her voice pitched higher. She tried to pull away, but couldn't.

"What are you doing!"

His other hand wrapped around her slender waist, so soft that one wouldn't dare use force.

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

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

With one movement, the two swapped positions; Ruan Mian's back hit the Medical Pod, and her free hand pushed hard against his chest.

This person was rock-hard, as if she were pressed against a wall.

"Y-you, what are you doing!"

He lowered his head and leaned in, his scorching breath spilling onto her neck, his somewhat coarse 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, which shimmered with a blue hue, and the red mole on the tip of his nose looked bewitching and seductive.

"It's you!"
