Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Of course." The waiter nodded. He could tell that the living conditions of the mother and daughter were not very good. This could be seen from their clothes. They were all old clothes that were out of season. Nowadays in the city There are very few people here wearing such simple clothes.

"Xiao Xi, should we just have a bowl? Mom can't eat that much. This bowl of noodles looks like a lot?" her mother asked a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl next to her with bright eyes and white teeth.

Chen Xi knew that her mother was reluctant to give up money, but... the doctor said that her mother was about to die, and it was her wish to come here to eat beef noodles. Although Chen Xi was frugal, she still gritted her teeth and said, "Just two bowls? "

"You kid, isn't it a waste to have too much?" The mother interrupted Chen Xi and said to the waiter: "Just a bowl, how much does it cost?"

"Hello, you spent a total of fifteen yuan on a bowl of beef noodles." The waiter sympathized with the mother and daughter, but he was also a part-time worker, and his living conditions were not necessarily much better than theirs, and he could not make any arbitrary decisions. They only eat a bowl of noodles, which will only cause the boss to deduct it from his salary.

When her mother heard that a bowl of noodles cost fifteen yuan, she felt very distressed. Chen Xi took out a neat stack of banknotes from his pocket, counted out fifteen yuan from it, and handed it to the waiter. .

The waiter knew that it would be difficult for the mother and daughter to earn this money, but there was nothing they could do. He could only look at them sympathetically and prepared to secretly tell the chef to give them more. Face, this is the only thing he can do.

"Xiao Xi, it's not easy for you to make money, and you have to treat me. From now on, let's not spend it recklessly..." Chen Xi's mother said in a low voice: "Fifteen yuan, how much noodles can you buy? Enough for us two to eat for many days. Already..."

"Mom, it's my birthday today, and I promised to make the decision!" Chen Xi interrupted his mother, smiled, and said: "After today, I will be sixteen years old, and I will be an adult. From now on, I will I will definitely make a lot of money and take you out for dinner every day!"

"Haha, okay, mom is waiting for you..." Mother sighed secretly in her heart, not knowing whether she could survive until that day? Seeing that her daughter has become a sensible adult, she feels more at ease when she leaves.

This noodle shop is a time-honored restaurant nearby and has been open for some years. When Chen Xi was young, every time she and her mother passed by this place, mother and daughter would look at the guests dining here with envious eyes. At that time, her mother always said to Chen Xi , When I make money in the future, I will bring Chen Xi here to eat noodles.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Xi grew up, but her mother was diagnosed with cancer! All of a sudden, Chen Xi's family, which was already not well-off, became stretched thin. Her mother could no longer do her job, so she had to rely on Chen Xi to pick up some waste paper shells and beverage bottles after school to support the family.

Today is Chen Xi's sixteenth birthday, but Chen Xi is not happy at all, because just a few days ago, when her mother went to the hospital for a review, the doctor told her that her mother would only be alive for a month or two. Let yourself prepare for her funeral...

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment. Although he had expected such a day for a long time, he never expected that this day would come so quickly! Mom, are you leaving? Chen Xi was very sad, but she was afraid that her mother would doubt her, so she had to pretend to be happy!

On the pretext of celebrating her birthday, Chen Xi brought her mother to the noodle shop. In her mother's opinion, Chen Xi was still a willful child, but Chen Xi knew that if she didn't bring her mother to eat noodles now, she might not be able to eat the noodles here in her life. Got it!

So Chen Xi spent several nights, going home for two hours every night, taking a car to the beach to pick up drink bottles, and finally saved up thirty yuan, just to have a meal of beef noodles with her mother! She had already inquired about the price in advance. A bowl cost fifteen yuan. Although it was expensive for her, she felt it was worth it!

Lin Yi's eyes passed over Chen Xi's mother and daughter, and finally landed on Chen Xi's mother.

This is a haggard and slightly sick woman. Although she has been tortured by illness, it can be seen that she must have been very beautiful when she was young! However, from Lin Yi's point of view, she was probably dead soon. However, Lin Yi did not know the specific reason. Without further detailed examination, Lin Yi did not know what disease she had.

The girl named Chen Xi is very beautiful. She should be the same as her mother when she was young. Although she is only sixteen years old, she is already very young and beautiful. Although her clothes are simple, they are very clean and tidy.

This reminded Lin Yi of Tang Yun, making his heart tremble slightly...

Lin Yi frowned. When did he seem to become less indifferent? Seems like you're a little nosy?

Has the environment here changed you?

Lin Yi found that he had indeed escaped from the bloody days, and began to integrate into this environment, and even liked it!

The waiter came over, and Lin Yi withdrew his gaze and looked at Feng Xiaoxiao. Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes had been on the mother and daughter before, and she was obviously feeling a little emotional.

"Hello, would you two start ordering now?" The waiter came over and asked.

"We also want a bowl of beef noodles!" Feng Xiaoxiao said before Lin Yi could speak. She got the inspiration from the mother and daughter. Eating a bowl of noodles with Lin Yi would help improve their relationship!

"Oh...Okay." The waiter was stunned for a moment, then nodded. It's not unusual for a couple to have a bowl of noodles, but the mother and daughter asked for a bowl of noodles before, and Feng Xiaoxiao also asked for it. A bowl of noodles made him feel like it was just a coincidence.

"Want a bowl? You don't want to eat?" Lin Yi wrinkled, looked at Feng Xiaoxiao and asked.

"Eat!" Feng Xiaoxiao almost burst out of anger after hearing what Lin Yi said. Are you treating me to some noodles? You actually asked me if I wanted to eat? If I don't eat, what else will you ask for?

"Oh, I'll take two bowls then." Lin Yi said calmly to the waiter.

"Okay, sir." The waiter sneered. It seemed that either Lin Yi didn't know how to be romantic, or Feng Xiaoxiao was being sentimental. The relationship between these two people may not be that of a couple! It's probably the type where a woman chases a man.

Feng Xiaoxiao was a little unhappy: "I can't eat it, the noodles here are so big..."

"Then you ask him to give you less." Lin Yi said.

"...Am I stupid?" Feng Xiaoxiao was so angry that he stopped talking and waved angrily to the waiter, indicating that he could leave.

The waiter shook his head, fearing to offend Feng Xiaoxiao, and quickly went to place his order.
