Ye Xingchen frowned as he looked at the series of messages sent by Chen Rou’er. He felt frustrated.
Lin Sijia was halfway through her meal when she saw Ye Xingchen stop eating. She put down her chopsticks and looked at Ye Xingchen’s tightly furrowed brows nervously.
“How… What’s wrong? Is the food not to your liking?”
“No, come here and sit beside me.”
Ye Xingchen casually pulled out a chair beside him and gestured for Lin Sijia to sit beside him. Then, he stood up and grabbed Lin Sijia’s bowl and chopsticks and placed them beside him.
“Continue eating.”
“Alright.” Lin Sijia lowered her eyes and obediently sat beside Ye Xingchen and began to eat again.
“You keep cooing, are you a hen? Are you ready to lay eggs?”
Ye Xingchen typed out the message and thought for a while before clicking delete. Then, he leaned back on the chair and stretched out his long arms to pull over Lin Sijia, who was focused on eating. He took a photo and sent it to Chen Rou’er.
“I’m sorry, Rou’er. You’re a good person. I’ve let you down.”
“I thought you had already met with misfortune. There’s no other way. You came too late. I’m sorry.”
“You will give us your blessings, right?”
Ye Xingchen added after some thought.
“Rou’er, you shouldn’t look for me in the future. Although we once loved each other, I already have a girlfriend now. It’s not appropriate for you to look for me again.”
After sending the last sentence, Ye Xingchen blocked Chen Rou’er.
On the other end of the screen, Chen Rou’er was staring at the photo of Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia. The dishes were neatly arranged, and Chen Rou’ er could not help but swallow her saliva.
“No, I can’t! No! I’m clearly your girlfriend! What right did she have?! What right does she have?!”
After sending the message, a bright red exclamation mark appeared — she had been blacklisted.
Chen Rou’er screamed hysterically in the room. Ye Xingchen took back his phone and was about to let go of Lin Sijia, but he saw that Lin Sijia’s eyes were still fixed on her phone.
He raised his eyebrows and hugged Lin Sijia tighter.
“What do you think? Do you think I’m very bad?”
Lin Sijia hesitated for a moment before shaking her head. “You must have your reasons for doing this.”
Her face was a little hot. Although she knew that her being Ye Xingchen’s girlfriend was a lie, she couldn’t help but feel her heart pulse.
Although Lin Sijia’s personal conditions weren’t bad, she had never been in a relationship in her 20-plus years. Every day, she would go to school and home. Later on, she would go to school, home, and the hospital.
Unlike socialites like Chen Rou’er, Lin Sijia didn’t like to dress up. In fact, she didn’t even know how to dress up. She only knew how to read books, work on question sets, and do experiments. When other girls were putting on makeup and shopping, she was dissecting frogs. When other girls were dating and going to hotels, she was concocting traditional Chinese medicine.
Unfortunately, Ye Xingchen wasn’t in the mood to appreciate Lin Sijia’s red face. He let go of Lin Sijia’s hand after receiving her answer, picked up his bowl, and silently ate.
Every time he spoke to Chen Rou’er, he would remember how he had been toyed around by Chen Rou’er in the past.
Even after such a long time, he still remembered the pain of being dismembered in his previous life.
Everyone got a lot of food. Recently, no one came to smash Ye Xingchen’s house. If they didn’t come, the alarm didn’t sound anymore. It was much quieter.
Ye Xingchen’s private chat became lively.
After a few days, Lin Sijia finally stopped being so reserved. She washed a bowl of grapes and strawberries and sat down beside Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen asked as he stuffed a grape into his mouth.
“Liu Qilong isn’t dead yet?”
In the previous life, Liu Qilong had indeed lived for quite a long time. However, the plot had changed so much in this life, and he had never appeared in the group again. Ye Xingchen thought that Liu Qilong had died long ago in this life.
He saw Liu Qilong asking someone to borrow medicine in the group chat. The group chat was full of chatter, but no one paid attention to him.
“I… When I went to bandage his son’s wound, I gave them some food.”
Lin Sijia’s eyes darkened. That was also the first and only time she didn’t receive any consultation fees. After all, she saw that Liu Qilong had an elderly mother at home.
“At that time, I thought that the snow would pass quickly. 1 still had a lot of biscuits and bread at home to fill my stomach, so… However, I didn’t give food to anyone else after that.”
Ye Xingchen thought about it carefully. It had been snowing for almost a month now. Liu Qilong’s family didn’t have much food to begin with. Moreover, there were four people in his family. Even if Lin Sijia had given him some food at that time, it shouldn’t have been enough for him to live for so long.
“But even if you gave him some food, he has so many people in his family. Generally speaking, he won’t be able to hold on for so long.”
Lin Sijia pursed her lips and put down the strawberries that she had just plucked.
“At that time, I didn’t have any anti-inflammatory drugs, and his son didn’t last long. Later… His mother seemed to have…”
“Oh, no wonder. He probably robbed a lot of things two days ago.”
“Yes, he asked in the group if there was any medicine because he was greedy. He didn’t take enough from Zhang Yi’s house and wanted to snatch what others took. His hand got cut during the tussle.”
Although Ye Xingchen’s surveillance cameras covered the entire community, there were still blind spots in the surveillance cameras. He really didn’t know what Lin Sijia had just said.
“He really deserves it. A snake so greedy that it tries to eat an elephant. Previously, he was using his elderly mom and offspring to morally shame people. 1 didn’t expect that the old and young didn’t go to waste in the end.” Lin Sijia nudged Ye Xingchen. “Aye, what are you doing? We just finished eating and you’re already saying this!”
While Ye Xingchen was laughing, his phone suddenly shook.
It was a call request from Zhao Hao.
The only two people that Ye Xingchen could barely trust in his lifetime were Zhao Hao and Lin Sijia.
After all, in their previous lives, they had all died for others. In the end, they had protected the most basic moral bottom line.
With his intentional reminder, Zhao Hao’s supplies should be very abundant now. It could even be said that he was second only to Ye Xingchen in terms of supplies in the entire community.
Ye Xingchen scratched his head and answered the call.
“What’s wrong, Brother Zhao?”
“Uh, Little Ye…Sigh, I, I, sigh…”
Zhao Hao sighed three times. He was very embarrassed to speak. After all, he had not been of any help to Ye Xingchen for so many days. Now, he even had to trouble Ye Xingchen with a problem.
“It’s okay, Brother Zhao. Just say it.”
Ye Xingchen could tell that Zhao Hao had a favor to ask of him..
