Reborn I will never be a dog lick

Chapter 50 The elementary school girl turns out to be a master at bargaining

Xu Zhimu ordered some seafood. In this mountain city, seafood is a rare thing and the price is naturally not cheap.

In Liu Ningqing's memory, it seems that the last time she ate seafood was when her mother was still alive, but she only ate a sea fish that cost tens of yuan.

There was a plate of Pipi shrimps in front of me, as well as some conches and a cherry red crab half the size of a human head.

"These cost a lot..." Liu Ningqing was a little afraid to take off her chopsticks and asked cautiously.

"We agreed that I will treat you today, and you will be responsible for eating it." Xu Zhimu picked up a shrimp and handed it to her.

Liu Ningqing still lowered her head and subconsciously scratched her knees with her hands.

"Do you still want me to peel shrimps for you?"

"No, no..." Liu Ningqing shook her head gently and bit her teeth. When he was treating himself, he insisted on eating dandan noodles that cost less than ten yuan, but when he was treating himself, he ordered such expensive seafood.

If it continues like this, won't his favors always be unfulfilled?

"I just don't know what I will use to repay you in the future..."

Liu Ningqing has very few friends, and even fewer since she entered high school. When her classmates were traveling and shopping during the holidays, she worked part-time. When her friends asked her to party, she would refuse again and again because she felt sorry for the one or two hundred yuan...

…

Liu Ningqing is not a fragile person, but the reality of poverty makes her feel inferior and sensitive.

She would always try her best to repay other people's kindness, but since she met him, she didn't know how to repay all kinds of kindness...

"You have already returned it to me." Xu Zhimu peeled off the shrimp shell, revealing the firm and attractive shrimp meat inside.

If he hadn't had the comfort of his junior sister in his previous life, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to easily come out of the shadows in the next few years.

If she had to talk about returning the favor, it should be Xu Zhimu who returned it to her.

And if this favor is not over yet, I will give it up with my body.

Liu Ningqing was stunned: "When will I pay you back?"

Xu Zhimu took out the small purse that Liu Ningqing had given him before: "The band-aid on your hand is because of the injury caused by sewing this thing, right?"

Liu Ningqing subconsciously put away her hands, but this look of guilty conscience was undoubtedly a disguised admission.

"It's just a few shrimps. Isn't it comparable to the injuries you suffered to give me a gift? Or do you think you don't consider me a friend at all?" Xu Zhimu squinted his eyes, pretending to be angry.

"No! I didn't mean that." Liu Ningqing waved her hands quickly, her cheeks turning red.

"Then eat it, otherwise I won't be able to accept this gift." Xu Zhimu put the peeled shrimp on the plate in front of her.

"Yes." Liu Ningqing raised her head and looked at Xu Zhimu carefully. Of course she knew that the other party was just saying this to prevent her from feeling guilty, but the more he was so unruly, the more Liu Ningqing felt that she could not forget him.

Really, how can people forget you when you are so gentle...

Liu Ningqing picked up the shrimp he had peeled and took a bite. The long-lost taste reminded Liu Ningqing of the time when her mother was still alive...

She didn't even notice that a crystal teardrop slowly slipped from her eyes until a hand held a tissue and handed it to her.

Only then did Liu Ningqing realize that she put down her chopsticks in a panic and wiped her eyes with her hands.

"I, I just..."

"It's just the sand that confused your eyes, right?" Xu Zhimu smiled and put the tissue into her hand.

He was such a gentle person, Liu Ningqing couldn't help but smile.

This smile is like the Milky Way outlining the stars in the sky, or like the spring breeze blowing through the clear springs in the mountain stream...

This is a magnificent scene in the world that is so pale when described in any language.

Xu Zhimu was stunned. Liu Ningqing wiped away her tears. Looking at Xu Zhimu who was staring at her blankly, her pretty face turned red visibly.

Delicate and charming, the color is delicious.

"You look so pretty when you smile."

"How can there be..."

Next, the two of them ate in silence, but a strange atmosphere spread between them.

During this period, Liu Ningqing also tremblingly peeled a shrimp for Xu Zhimu with her own hands. This was really the most delicious shrimp Xu Zhimu had ever tasted...

Happy time is always short-lived. After dinner, the junior sister put on a mask again, and the two of them went to the vegetable market first.

It was also in the vegetable market that Xu Zhimu realized that the usually taciturn little girl was so professional in bargaining.

"Auntie, how much do these green peppers cost per pound? I can buy them cheaper."

"Uncle, this pork belly has been stored for a day, can I get a discount?"

…

Liu Ningqing was carrying several plastic bags filled with vegetables. She felt a little embarrassed when she saw Xu Zhimu's smile.

However, Xu Zhimu praised: "Businessmen who do business are people who can discuss everything. Bargaining is the real skill. It's really rare to see a girl like you who manages a house..."

The burst of praise made Liu Ningqing blush even more. Talking about housekeeping and the like were simply critical damage to Liu Ningqing.

"I'll take you back."

It was almost nine o'clock when we returned from the vegetable market, and we could still catch the last train.

Liu Ningqing wanted to refuse, but when she thought that he would leave tomorrow, her heart became clogged.

"Um."

The two of them waited for a bus at the bus stop. They waited for nearly twenty minutes before one came.

After inserting coins to get on the bus, luckily there weren't too many people at this point. Liu Ningqing sat by the window, and Xu Zhimu consciously sat next to her.

The two of them looked like a loving couple when they were next to each other.

Some old ladies looked at the food in Liu Ningqing's hand and praised: "You see, there are not many little girls who can buy and cook their own food nowadays. Young people should cherish it."

Liu Ningqing blushed and lowered her head in silence, while Xu Zhimu nodded to the old lady with a smile.

The drive was not too far, and we arrived at the place in ten minutes. It was still a familiar little black road.

Xu Zhimu helped her carry the vegetables and walked silently on the road.

It wasn't until he saw the shabby little bungalow that Xu Zhimu stopped and handed the plastic bag to the junior sister: "I will send you here."

Liu Ningqing took it, and in the darkness, those eyes seemed to reflect the stars in the sky.

"Go back, I'll watch you go back and have a rest early." Xu Zhimu waved to her.

Liu Ningqing hummed, and took two steps forward with the plastic bag in hand. Seeing that the figure was about to disappear into the darkness, Liu Ningqing suddenly froze.

She turned around, and her soft voice carried in the night wind: "We...will meet again, right?

Xu Zhimu looked at him and showed a gentle smile.

"Yes, we will definitely see you again."

The junior high school girl turned around and entered the bungalow. Xu Zhimu raised his head and glanced at the starry sky, then turned and left.

Liu Ningqing leaned on the door frame and stared at the direction Xu Zhimu left, with the corners of her mouth curled up under the mask.

Will definitely see you again.

After returning home, Liu Ningqing found her grandma who was putting insoles under the dim light.

"Ah, milk, are there any osmanthus flowers at home? I want to make some osmanthus cake..."
