I said without changing my expression and out of breath: "This is the only nutritional supplement you drank."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of the noodles he made last night. He calmly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and pressed the system that was making crazy calls to see his reaction.
Sure enough, embarrassment and guilt flashed across Xie Yi's face. He, he actually rudely used other people's food without asking. No wonder that person kept staring at him when he was drinking.
"Ahem"
"I want to eat the food you made last night..." I whispered my request at the right time and said seriously.
Xie Yi was feeling guilty and didn't know how to repay the kindness of saving his life yesterday. Hearing this, there was no reason not to respond.
"Yeah, okay. I'll do it at noon, no, now..."
He immediately got out of bed, and the system and I followed silently.
But when he saw the structure of the building clearly, Xie Yi was dumbfounded
——It is more like an idle workbench than a kitchen. There was nothing on the countertop, let alone any fresh vegetables.
Xie Yi pursed his lips, but he felt the expectant gazes of the "two pairs of eyes" behind him, and couldn't bear to say any words of rejection. After thinking about it for a while, he turned around hesitantly and said
"Are you hungry, girl? Why don't you... go to my house first? There's not a lot of things here... I mean..."
"Okay." I don't know how those foods were transformed, so it's just whatever he said.
Seeing that someone agreed, Xie Yi was slightly relieved.
……………
Three dishes and one soup were quickly prepared and placed on the table. Although they looked a bit simple, they could not hide their aroma. To me, it is nothing new.
One person and one machine stared curiously at the things on the table - they were really hungry now.
Seeing the look on the other side, Xie Yi felt a little cute for no reason. Although he didn't understand why the other party suddenly became greedy for such undesirable food, seeing the other party quietly eating everything he cooked made him feel a sense of satisfaction.
My heart softened: "What's more, if it's not enough, there's more in there."
I shook my head.
At this time, Xie's mother heard her son talking to someone, and came out worriedly, leaning on a cane.
"Xiao Yi, who is here at home?"
Seeing this, Xie Yi quickly stood up and stepped forward, helping the person to sit down.
——Mother Xie’s smiling eyes went back and forth between the two of them.
Seeing that the other party was a girl, her smile became even brighter. How dare Xie Yi have any thoughts about me at this time, but Xie's mother couldn't bear to make up her own mind.
Mother Xie became more and more satisfied with it. When she heard it, she would smile and speak. Xie Yi suddenly felt something bad, but it was too late to stop him at this time.
"Girl, you..."
"Mother." Xie Yi interrupted quickly and stood up before Xie's mother cast an unhappy look at him.
"Leave the dishes and chopsticks here. I'll come back and clean them up later. There's still hot rice and vegetables in the pot. I'll send this girl back first."
After hearing this, Xie's mother understood what Xie Yi meant and sighed,
Too. Such a family would only waste such a good girl.
It was a pity, but I didn't say anything. I just feel a little sorry for my son.
——If it weren’t for such a beastly father and such a useless mother. He should have been doing fine. But now I'm living with the burden
"Mom, I'll be back soon. You have a good meal." Xie Yi knew that his behavior made people sad, so he couldn't help but soften his voice and comfort him in a low voice.
The two of them were walking side by side in the alley. Xie Yi was still thinking about how he was... "ignorant" yesterday, and he probably wouldn't be able to get the job he wanted to do at the bar.
——But my mother is ill and needs money urgently to buy medicine. Thinking of Xie's mother's increasingly serious illness, he felt helpless in his heart.
I don't know why, no matter how many methods he tried, it never worked, and instead it got worse.
After sending the person out of the alley, he saw that it was already getting late. Today happens to be the weekend, and I think the man will go home in the evening. Xie Yi pursed his lips.
——That’s it, just keep going. At least finish the work on the last day of the month and get the salary for this month before talking about anything else.
Thinking this, he quickened his pace. ——He had to finish his work as soon as possible today and go home early, lest the man do something unreasonable to his mother again. With him here, he could help block it to some extent.
——Xie Yi has tried to persuade his mother and father to divorce before, but his mother refused every time. I was even very surprised as to why he had such rebellious and absurd ideas.
——He saw his mother's reluctance. There is no way. Although I didn't fully understand why my mother had to silently endure the beatings and kicks by my father, and even worsened the condition, there was nothing I could do.
When he grows up, when other children are still playing coquettishly with their parents, he can only start doing housework early. He often even worked several jobs by himself in order to earn more money to buy medicine for his mother.
"Do not miss passing through!"
"Everyone, take a look, the mecha assembly competition - the winner will be rewarded with a maximum reward of 3,000 interstellar coins -"
Hearing that there was a bonus, many people gathered around him - including of course Xie Yi who also came forward by chance. I saw three teenagers gesticulating around a place. One of them was wearing black sunglasses that covered half of his face and was wearing exaggerated red clothes.
He stepped forward and watched the man assemble the parts in his hands in just three strokes, and a brand new small mecha was born from his hands.
Although it looks a bit clumsy and slow, it is faster than before.
As he raised his head proudly, the people around him suddenly burst into thunderous applause.
The remaining two challengers were a little discouraged when they saw that their defeat was certain. They lowered their heads and tried to reduce their presence. He walked out of the stands dejectedly.
"What?" The young man in red glanced at the audience with contempt and snorted, "Do you still want to compare with me?"
Then he glanced at the two people with disdain, and said frivolously, "You are not overestimating your abilities."
The two of them were immediately ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to burrow down.
Seeing this, the boy in red not only failed to restrain himself, but also whistled deliberately. Zhuang Ruo said regretfully, "Hey, it seems that these three thousand interstellar coins have returned again-"
"Wait a minute, let me compete with you." Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, including of course the young man in red standing on the stage - he wanted to see who was so overestimating his own abilities.
