Chapter 027

Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan walked a few steps side by side.

She tried to speak, looked at Lin Xiaohan and said from the bottom of her heart: "Thank you for what you did just now."

If he hadn't appeared and taken action in time, she didn't know how much stuff would have been robbed by those three little hooligans today.

Lin Xiaohan didn't look at her, and replied as he walked: "Yeah."

Chu Xia thought for a moment, then held the peach cake in front of him and asked, "Do you want to eat some peach cake?"

Lin Xiaohan said: "I don't eat sweets."

“…”

If you don’t want to eat it, forget it.

In early summer, I put the peach cake down again.

After walking a few steps side by side, she continued to ask: "Then how do you want me to thank you?"

Although Lin Xiaohan took the initiative to help her, he was not the kind of person who would do good deeds without leaving his name or asking for anything in return. He had a scale in his heart that he could calculate more clearly than anyone else, so she had to find a way to repay his favor.

Of course, even if he was a person who did good things without asking for anything in return, she still had to thank him, because she was not the kind of person who liked to owe favors to others.

Lin Xiaohan was indeed not polite and asked back, "What can you give me to thank me?"

Chuxia thought about it seriously.

In this day and age when we can barely even afford food and clothing, we really can’t offer many good things to thank others.

Even when visiting relatives and friends on weekdays, decent gifts are usually noodles or candies.

So after much thought, it still has to be food.

The rarest and most precious food, besides sweets, is meat.

So Chu Xia said to Lin Xiaohan, "When we get paid, how about I treat you to some noodles with soybean paste? I'm average in other aspects, nothing special, but I cook really good food, and noodles with soybean paste is my best dish."

She hadn't finished eating the secret sauce she brought from home.

There are still flour coupons and meat coupons.

Lin Xiaohan looked at Chu Xia and asked, "How delicious is 'extremely delicious'?"

Chu Xia said confidently, "It's really delicious. It smells so good. Haven't you smelled what I made at the Youth League Center? I made it for Han Ting before."

Hearing Han Ting's name out of the blue, Lin Xiaohan sneered.

Then he said sarcastically: "I don't have the good fortune like Brother Ting from Sijiu City."

Chu Xia knew best how much Lin Xiaohan and Han Ting hated each other and how incompatible they were.

She regretted that she shouldn't have mentioned Han Ting, so she just pretended she hadn't mentioned it and continued to ask Lin Xiaohan: "Is this okay?"

Lin Xiaohan glanced at her and said after a moment: "Then try it reluctantly."

Chu Xia ignored his arrogant tone and smiled at him, "Okay, then it's settled."

She could feel at ease after she repaid his kindness.

Otherwise, she would have to think about it when she went to sleep, wondering when he would come to settle the score with her.

After this was settled, Chuxia finally relaxed.

She and Lin Xiaohan returned to the brigade side by side, and she found the topic at hand and chatted with him about what each other had bought.

Lin Xiaohan bought similar things at the market as she did, namely vegetable seedlings, vegetable seeds, and chicks.

So Chu Xia smiled and said to him: "Let's go plant vegetables together in the afternoon."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she regretted her hasty words.

I had to smile again and explain to him: "I'm not trying to pester you, it's just that our places are together, so we can go together. Of course, we don't have to go together."

Seeing Chuxia trying so hard to explain, Lin Xiaohan turned his head and looked at her for a while.

After reading it, he didn't respond to this, but suddenly said, "I really don't understand you people. You have to go to the toilet in groups. Is it so uncomfortable to be alone?"

He thought she was very open-minded, so she offended Han Ting and the others so stubbornly.

As a result, after offending all the people, she still needed someone to accompany her. She needed to use him as a substitute for Han Ting to relieve her emotions and emptiness. After being alienated by him, she sat pitifully by the ditch, looking at herself in the water and feeling sorry for herself.

Chu Xia didn't understand why Lin Xiaohan suddenly said this.

She tried to continue the topic, "Well... humans are emotional and social animals. Most humans need companionship, affection, and company... It's quite normal..."

Lin Xiaohan: "You mean... I'm not normal?"

Chu Xia smiled at him and couldn't help but told him the truth with some reservation, "It is true that there is a little bit..."

Lin Xiaohan: “…”

He looked at Chu Xia with a half-smile, "Then why are you still approaching me?"

Chuxia was suddenly a little afraid that Lin Xiaohan would smile at her.

When he had a sullen face, he just looked unpleasant, but when he smiled, she felt a little scared.

Yesterday he smiled at her first and then carried her into the corner.

Chu Xia silently put some distance between herself and Lin Xiaohan.

She bent her lips and said, "Actually, apart from being a little cold-hearted, arrogant, and mean to others...other..."

Seeing Lin Xiaohan's face getting colder and colder, Chu Xia felt like crying as she spoke.

She obviously wanted to praise him, but who knew...

Based on the principle that we should not offend him during special periods.

Chu Xia gritted her teeth and continued, "Other aspects are pretty good..."

Chu Xia thought Lin Xiaohan would be angry.

Then he suddenly said, "Apart from other aspects, I think there is nothing wrong with being cold, arrogant, and mean to others."

“…”

Chuxia cleared her throat and nodded.

Whatever you say is fine.

Lin Xiaohan: "It is better to torture others than to wrong yourself."

Chu Xia nodded again, "You are right!"

I said silently in my heart: Please don't torture me.
