Chapter 145 The Boss’s Canary (8)

After experiencing the joy of being a wealthy sponsor at the auction, Xiao He took out a large amount of supplies from his space, paid for them all at once, and then hung all the purchased items on Jiang Ye.

Seeing that he was hung up like a Christmas tree, he immediately felt in a good mood.

"Next time if you have anything good, please inform me immediately and I will come again."

The staff nodded with a smile: "Actually, we have quite a few things here, take a look and see if there is anything you like."

As he spoke, he pointed to the shelf behind him.

Xiao He glanced around and saw no men's clothing, so he looked away, only to see Jiang Ye still staring at it.

He didn't know what he had discovered, but his eyes suddenly lit up. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Xiao He, you said before that I was paid every time I went on a mission. Do you still have the payment for the last time I went out with you guys?"

"have."

Xiao He was a little surprised. He didn't expect him to bring this up suddenly.

When she just returned to the base a month ago, she planned to pay Jiang Ye the corresponding remuneration, but he refused. Xiao He had to put the things in the space temporarily.

Seeing him staring at the things on the shelf, I said generously, "What do you want? I'll buy it for you."

"No, I want to buy it myself."

Seeing his firm attitude, Xiao He quickly took out Jiang Ye's remuneration.

Two bags of rice, a bag of flour and some instant food.

Jiang Ye went in carrying rice and whispered something to the staff. When he came out, he was holding a very small bag in his hand.

Xiao He's face was filled with shock.

What?

It actually requires a whole bag of rice in exchange.

You know, rice is hard currency in the base!

Jiang Ye smiled mysteriously.

"secret."

After saying that, he hid it quietly without even letting Xiao He look at it.

What secrets are forbidden for her, the financial sponsor, to see?

Xiao He looked away awkwardly.

She was not interested in prying into other people's secrets, but Jiang Ye seemed to have more and more secrets.

Just after returning home, Xiao He asked him to go to training together. Jiang Ye, who usually sticks to her, rejected her suggestion this time and chose to stay at home alone.

"What are you going to do at home?" Xiao He asked.

"rest."

He answered with a guilty look on his face, his mood written all over his face.

Xiao He's heart skipped a beat.

Jiang Ye actually lied to her.

Life in the last days is full of dangers and deceptions. Those who can survive are the ones who are very good at reading people's expressions.

Looking at Jiang Ye's lame lie, Xiao He felt a chill in his heart. He secretly clenched his fists, but did not ask any more questions.

"Okay, then you should have a good rest."

After saying that, he left.

But when she arrived at the training ground, she was a little distracted.

I was used to having someone following me all the time, but now that it suddenly disappears, I feel a little uncomfortable.

Especially when she finished running a few laps and was tired and thirsty, she reached out and found that she didn't bring any water.

Jiang Ye usually does the preparation.

Every time she trained, he would not only prepare drinking water, but also some nutritional supplements to replenish her energy, and help her record the time and frequency.

If you break the record, run over and tell her immediately.

At this time, Xiao He was standing in the sun, sweat pouring down his face, his mouth was dry, and he felt even more irritated.

She had been scheduled to practice until late at night, but she went home just as the sun was setting.

Just as she was about to go upstairs, she suddenly saw a strange woman walking out of her house with half a bag of rice in her hand.

Xiao He remembered the packaging bag, which was the reward she had just given to Jiang Ye yesterday.

How did it end up in her hands?

Xiao He walked over quickly and stopped the man.

"Dare to steal from my house?"

The middle-aged woman was a psychic and quickly shook her head.

"I didn't steal anything. The guy inside exchanged this with me. He gave it to me!"

After saying that, he hurried away carrying half a bag of rice.

Xiao He frowned immediately.

Because the female psychics in the base have tried to buy Jiang Ye several times, Jiang Ye has always regarded them as a disaster and usually runs away when he sees them. Why would he meet them today?

He even chose the time when she was not around.

Didn’t we agree to take a rest?

Looking at the back of the psychic leaving, Xiao He became even more confused.

I don’t know if it’s because I drank water after training, but I feel a little irritable.

Ever since he bought Jiang Ye back, he had always been very frank with her, even telling lies, and he wanted to reveal everything to Xiao He.

But today, he lied to himself twice in a row.

Could it be that Jiang Ye is planning to look for another financial sponsor?

She had indeed heard from other psychics before that when Canary was dissatisfied with its sponsor, it would look for someone else.

Xiao He thought carefully.

She had just taken Jiang Ye to the auction house this morning, so how could he be dissatisfied?

As she was thinking, she pushed open the door and suddenly heard some ping-pong sounds in the kitchen. Just as she was about to go over to take a look, Jiang Ye suddenly walked in, closed the door, and stood in front of the kitchen with shining eyes.

I don't know what to do in there.

"What are you doing in there?" Xiao He asked.

Jiang Ye's eyes dodged.

"Nothing... Do you want to eat? I prepared some nutrients for you!"

Food is scarce in the end times, and the base will make the collected materials into nutritional supplements and sell them at low prices.

However, this kind of nutritional supplement has a very bad taste and texture. If it is not really difficult to get, almost no one is willing to eat it. Xiao He has some at home, but rarely eats it.

Especially after Jiang Ye showed his superb cooking skills, Xiao He left the responsibility of preparing three meals a day to him and never took nutritional supplements again.

Seeing him suddenly take out two bags of nutrients, Xiao He became even more confused.

She couldn't help but look at Jiang Ye for a while before she silently took it and poured it all into her mouth.

Something is wrong with the canary in the house.

Xiao He slept uneasily all night. The next day, right after training, she went to find Yan Huohuo to find out what was going on.

"Is Jiang Ye planning to change his sponsor?"

Yan Huohuo rolled his eyes at the ceiling.

"He wouldn't even give it back to you even if he exchanged himself for it. Don't ask so many questions now. Just go back and enjoy it."

After saying that, he pushed her out.

Xiao He had no time to enjoy herself. She walked back, clacking her abacus in her mind.

If anyone wants to buy Jiang Ye, they must pay the same price - two boxes of sausages.

Looking at the entire Blue Star base, no one can give it.

If you can’t give it, I won’t let you go.

How could she just give away the canary she had raised with so much difficulty?

Xiao He thought about it and became a little angry. She had to make Jiang Ye sing six songs tonight to calm down.

If he doesn't sing, take out the small whip in the space.

She locked him up at home during the day so that only she could see him. At night, she whipped him with a small whip to urge him to sing. By then, her supernatural powers would be rising higher and higher. Anyone who wanted to take Jiang Ye away would have to defeat her first.

Xiao He was thinking about his perfect plan in his mind. When he pushed open the door, he found that the house was pitch black and there was no light on.

Her first reaction was that Jiang Ye had run away, so she took out a small whip from the space and prepared to catch him. The next second, a burst of singing suddenly came.

"Happy birthday to you--"

Xiao He looked in the direction of the sound, and accompanied by the warm light of the fire, Jiang Ye walked out from inside, holding a cake in his hand that she had only seen in magazines before and was now extinct. The white cream was fluffy and soft, and there were a few candles on it.

The flickering firelight reflected on Jiang Ye's face.

He sang softly.

Xiao He had heard this song before. It was one of the few songs that had been passed down before the end of the world, but it sounded particularly beautiful when sung by Jiang Ye.

While singing, he came to Xiao He with a bright smile on his face.

"Happy birthday, Xiao He."

Xiao He had already entered combat mode a second ago, but now he was pulled out abruptly, and he was a little confused.

Jiang Ye nodded, even his eyes were filled with joy.

"I want to give you a surprise."

Xiao He laughed dryly twice.

She was quite shocked and almost drew her sword.

At this time, Jiang Ye urged:

"After making a wish, I blew out the candles."

Xiao He looked at the flickering flames before him and said without a second thought, "I have only one wish from the beginning to the end. I hope that the supplies in my space will increase and I will never run out of food!"

After saying that, he blew out the three candles above.

Jiang Ye seemed to have guessed that she would make this wish and smiled.

"Don't you have enough supplies now?"

According to his estimation, there are more supplies in Xiao He's space than everyone imagined, and it should be enough for her to use.

Xiao He said, "It was enough before, but now it seems a little insufficient."

Jiang Ye looked nervous.

"Is it because you spent too much at the auction before?"

"No, there are too many people." Xiao He said directly.

She was alone before, but if she wanted to keep Jiang Ye by her side in the future, she would have to prepare supplies for two people.

When Jiang Ye heard this answer, he was stunned at first, then seemed to suddenly react. He stood there in shock, looking in Xiao He's direction.

It was very dark around, hiding many things, but Xiao He was a psychic and could still see in the dark.

She clearly saw Jiang Ye's face change from shock to joy, a warm smile widened on his face, and his bright eyes kept staring at her.

He seemed to think that Xiao He couldn't see, so he became even more unscrupulous.

Normally he would only show three-tenths of his affection, but now he showed it fully, looking at her with eyes full of love.

Seeing how happy he was, Xiao He felt like laughing too, and quickly asked, "Why don't you turn on the lights?"

"well."

He immediately hurried over, pressed the switch, and bright light instantly filled the entire room.

Jiang Ye's face was still a little red, with joy hidden in his eyes. When he turned around, he saw Xiao He holding a strange thing in his hand.

"What are you going to do with a whip?"

The original plan was to beat you.

Xiao He didn't answer. He threw the whip into the space and asked in surprise, "You can also make cakes?"

There is no such thing as cake in the apocalypse now. It is even rarer than supplies. Even Xiao He has only seen it in old magazines.

The cake in front of me is covered with thick cream, fluffy and soft, and is made into the shape of ribbons and flowers. It is even more beautiful than the pictures in magazines.

Jiang Ye: "Yesterday I traded milk at the auction house, and then I heard that a psychic picked up pheasant eggs outside the base, so I spent half a bag of rice to trade with her. I tried it once, and it actually worked."

Milk and eggs are rare commodities in the end times, expensive, and hard to come by.

There was too little of it, so he tried a small amount yesterday. After it succeeded, he used all the rest to make cream.

When Xiao He heard this, he immediately thought of the psychic who left yesterday carrying half a bag of rice.

"You spent all your supplies just to make a cake?"

Jiang Ye's answer was very simple: "I want to celebrate your birthday."

A bag of rice for a liter of milk, half a bag of rice for five eggs, for most people, this is something that is incomprehensible.

Jiang Ye earned those supplies at the risk of his life. He said he didn't want them at first, but later he suddenly asked for them and used them to celebrate her birthday.

If Xiao He heard about this kind of thing in the past, he would definitely be so angry that he would beat his head off.

But at this moment, looking at Jiang Ye's face full of joy, her heart felt sour and bitter, with mixed emotions.

She remembered the book that Yan Huohuo had given her before. In it, there was a story about the hero celebrating the heroine's birthday. The heroine was so moved that she burst into tears as she watched the flickering flames and smelled the sweet fragrance in the air.

Xiao He didn't understand at that time, but now, she seems to understand it a little bit.

She looked at the cake in front of her and felt like someone was holding her heart, making her feel warm.

"The last time I had a birthday was when I was five. It was just a small bun with a candle on it. My parents made it for me. I haven't had a birthday since they passed away."

She had long forgotten when her birthday was.

Living in the end times, how can you remember those things?

"How do you know today is my birthday?" Xiao He asked.

"I just know it."

Jiang Ye whispered, lowering his head and kissing her forehead.

"Every year from now on, I will make you a cake and celebrate your birthday with you."

The slightly cool touch made Xiao He's heart soften, and he immediately raised his eyebrows.

"Are you taking this opportunity to kiss me? This isn't part of our agreement."

Jiang Ye smiled brightly, with a hint of cunning in his gentleness.

"You found me."

Xiao He now felt the forehead burning hot after being kissed. He said, "I won't bother with you this time. Next time, you have to get my consent first."

Jiang Ye nodded immediately.

"Okay, I promise."

Xiao He sat down with the cake in his hands and quickly began to devour it.

After they had eaten half of their meal, Jiang Ye finally realized what was happening and quickly grabbed Xiao He.

"So, there will be a next time?"
