After wiping the corner of her mouth, Kang Xiaoqiao saw Lu Yichen looking at her in a different way. She was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but blink her eyes. F*ck, is there something wrong with this person? Why is he looking at her so fixedly?
Then, she looked at the bowls and chopsticks on the table and the bowl of vegetables, especially the bowl, er...
There wasn't even a drop of soup left. Could it be...
Before Kang Xiaoqiao could say anything, Lu Yichen straightened his sitting posture again. He adjusted his collar with his left hand and coughed twice, saying, "Ahem, that... the dishes are not bad."
The corner of Kang Xiaoqiao's mouth twitched as she thought to herself, 'You don't have to say it. Just look at the speed at which you're eating. I know it clearly in my heart. D*mn, you've taken away all this little meat.'
However, Kang Xiaoqiao still very cooperatively smiled and said, "I don't know anything. I just made it randomly. I made it randomly. If it wasn't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to do it so well."
Kang Xiaoqiao thought to herself that her culinary skills were as good as a chef's, so naturally, it wasn't bad. However, this host didn't know anything at all. If she suddenly knew it, it would arouse suspicion.
She hadn't thought of this before and only wanted to eat it. But now, she had to think more about it. Otherwise, wouldn't that be creating trouble for herself? So...
Lu Yichen didn't expect Kang Xiaoqiao to be so modest. When he was her age, he couldn't be so modest. If he was praised, it would be good enough if he didn't raise his little tail. Who hadn't been young and frivolous? It was really rare to be able to be so unassuming and calm.
Therefore, he couldn't help but say in a gentler tone, "You don't have to be modest. Your dishes are indeed good. No, very good."
It could be said that it wasn't easy to receive such a degree of praise from Lu Yichen. However, Kang Xiaoqiao intentionally dragged him into the water, so modesty was inevitable.
After Lu Yichen said this, he thought for a moment and took out a small amount of notes from his pocket. Other than the messy tickets, he also gave her a stack of unity notes.
Then, he pushed these to Kang Xiaoqiao's side and said, "I just received my allowance and bonus today. I still have some savings. I'll bring the notes over later. From now on, these will be under your control."
"I'll eat breakfast and lunch in the ministry canteen most of the time. I'll be back on time for dinner."
"Tell me what kind of simple stove you want. Also, our cupboard has been burned. We need to make a new one. If you need anything, just tell me and we'll do it together."
...
Lu Yichen said a lot more after that, but Kang Xiaoqiao didn't come back to her senses. Looking at the small stack of yuan in her hand, she was dumbfounded. How could he just give it to her like that?
Come on, they had only known each other for two days, okay?
Wasn't this too hasty? Could it be that the people in the old society were all so, uh, real?
Kang Xiaoqiao couldn't accept it, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "That, that, you take back the money and everything. I, I don't care about this."
"Oh, and, I will return the 30 yuan you gave me this morning. You..."
To be honest, facing Lu Yichen's unexpected trust, Kang Xiaoqiao was very caught off guard, but her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
She didn't think she was a particularly good person. In her previous life, she had been in and out of the business world, scheming against each other. If you didn't cheat others, others would cheat you. Although she didn't take the initiative to hurt others, but before she died, she was able to drag that pair of dogs and woman down with her, which meant... She wasn't a pure-hearted person. When she was ruthless, she wouldn't care about anything.
In all her years of life, no one had ever taken the initiative to hand over all of their assets to her. She had seen too many of them. Couples arguing over money, scheming against each other, setting each other up and following each other, and so on...
For money, brothers could turn against each other. Biological father and son would fight against each other, let alone outsiders. Of course, didn't she end up with a disfigured face and crippled legs because of money?
All of this was caused by money, but what was more terrifying was the human heart.
The small stack of notes in his hands were actually not worth much. Lu Yichen's allowance in this era was considered high, at least higher than that of the pork seller. A pork seller had already grown like that... To be able to marry a virgin at such an old age, and the woman felt so honored... Lu Yichen was a very popular figure.
However, in Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes, this was really pitiful. It was not even enough for her to drink a cup of tea. However, this was all of Lu Yichen's belongings.
The words of the Wilderness people directly renewed their promise, so they would definitely hand it in in the future. However, Kang Xiaoqiao felt that it was worth a lot.
What was this? This was trust!
The weight of trust was too heavy, and she could not afford it. As for what Lu Yichen thought of her, er...
If it was the Kang Xiaoqiao of her previous life, she would be full of confidence, thinking that this person definitely had designs on her. However, in this life, she did not have two taels of meat on her. She did not have money, and she did not have face.
Other than the original owner's demonic harassment of Lu Yichen, there really did not seem to be anything else that she could bring out. Could it be because of her meal?
Eh... Could it be that this cold and aloof brother Wilderness in front of her was a foodie?
Could it be that this sister's meal had captured him?
Kang Xiaoqiao seemed to have found out the truth. Lu Yichen was good in everything else, and his self-control was even better. However, he was very persistent about this food. His little allowance had been spent on food. When he first came here, he had once for a meal... walked more than 20 miles without fear of the cold. What kind of spirit was that?
Well, in Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes, it was probably just nerves. If she knew about it, she might even admire him for a while. He was very persistent in order to eat.
However, at this moment, Kang Xiaoqiao did not think about what would happen between her and Lu Yichen. In her eyes, this was just a temporary place to stay. She was used to drifting and settling down. She could live quite well anywhere. However, she was very clear that... This would not be the end of her life.
She was not a well-behaved person. She could not stay here forever. Since she had to start all over again, she naturally had to live a more exciting life. She was used to being willful. She could not stand such a bitter life. Of course, her experience was okay. She did not want to live like this forever.
But before she could finish speaking, Lu Yichen's face turned cold. He frowned at her and said seriously, "If I want you to take it, then take it. Why do you have to talk so much nonsense?"
"I gave you living expenses this morning. Which one of them is for you to return? I, Lu Yichen, can still afford to raise my own wife. Don't say such things in the future."
"No matter what the reason is, since you are married to me, we have to live a good life in the future. What do you mean by yours and mine? In the future, don't do such things. Alright, take it well."
