At this point, Lin Yun showed gratitude on her face: "It's all thanks to you today. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do. If Ningning had something happen, then I..."

"Sister Yun, you've thanked me several times today. I've said it's okay, as long as Ningning is fine. Sister Yun, you're so polite, I feel embarrassed."

Qin Jinnian quickly interrupted Lin Yun who was becoming more and more agitated.

Lin Yun was stunned for a moment, then exhaled and said, "That's what I said, but I still have to thank you... Well, I bought a lot of food today, just to invite you to my house for dinner. This is the only way I can think of to express my gratitude... You haven't eaten yet, right?"

At the end of her words, she seemed to remember that Qin Jinnian might have already eaten. She looked up at him with obvious nervousness.

"I……"

Qin Jinnian really wanted to say that he had eaten, but seeing Lin Yun’s nervous look, he couldn’t say it.

After thinking for a while, Qin Jinnian smiled and said, "I was just about to order some takeout...Okay, since Sister Yun has invited me so kindly, I must try Sister Yun's cooking. But please don't say thank you anymore, or I'll turn around and leave."

Lin Yun felt that she owed him a favor and wanted to repay it in her own way. If Qin Jinnian didn't go, she would always be thinking about it...

Although they haven't had much contact, from today's contact, it seems that Lin Yun is very gentle and kind... Otherwise, on the night of the blood moon, how many people in this world would dare to step forward and ask questions of a person who has been unconscious outside the door for a whole night?

There were so many residents on the 18th floor. When he woke up in the morning, every household opened their doors and secretly watched him. But only Lin Yun had the courage to talk to him and ask if he was okay.

Even when she came downstairs, she knocked on the door and invited him to deal with the mental pollution together...

The matter is trivial, even insignificant.

But for a stranger like Qin Jinnian, in such a strange and dangerous world, this insignificant kindness was enough to warm his heart.

Sure enough, after hearing Qin Jinnian's answer, Lin Yun heaved a sigh of relief. The smile on her face became even brighter. She smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I won't mention it anymore..."

Qin Jinnian closed the door immediately and went to Lin Yun's house with her.

Actually, it’s next door.

As soon as he entered the house, he could see the whole room at a glance. It was almost the same as the house he rented. It was a small room, no more than 30 square meters.

Although small, it is not messy. Clothes are neatly stacked in a portable wardrobe near the bed. In addition, there is a bookcase with many books on it, but most of them are children's books.

The kitchen, on the balcony of her house, was obviously remodeled by her later.

The dining table was at the foot of the bed. There was a small table filled with dishes.

Seeing Qin Jinnian coming in and looking around curiously, Lin Yun felt embarrassed and said, "This place is small and a bit messy..."

Qin Jinnian came back to his senses, then laughed and said, "This room is exactly the same as my house, there's nothing messy about it."

After saying that, he didn't care, and then he saw the little girl Ningning who was sitting at the dining table and waiting quietly.

As soon as he came in, Ningning's eyes were fixed on him, but she no longer had the timid expression she had when they first met in the morning. Her big eyes were bright.

Qin Jinnian walked over with a smile: "Ningning, you haven't called me yet."

Lin Yun was about to ask Ningning to call for help, but Ningning had already called out in a soft voice, "Uncle."

"Oh, so good..."

Qin Jinnian couldn't help but reach out and rub the little girl's head. The soft touch was so soft that he couldn't let it go.

"Wow, your mother made so many delicious foods today? Is there anything Ningning particularly likes?"

Ningning thought about it carefully and pointed to a plate of braised carp: "I like eating fish."

"Hahaha, then Ningning is a carnivore like uncle..."

Seeing the happy interaction between Qin Jinnian and Ningning, Lin Yun was stunned for a moment, but finally she revealed a gentle smile, then she walked over and started serving the rice.

Seeing this, Qin Jinnian quickly stood up and said, "Sister Yun, I can do it myself..."

Lin Yun shook her head and said with a smile: "You told me not to be polite, so you shouldn't be polite either... Our house is so small, we can't move around, so just wait for the food."

Hearing this, Qin Jinnian was reluctant to argue. He smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Sister Yun."

Lin Yun quickly served the rice to the three of them. She asked, "By the way, Xiaonian, do you drink?"

Qin Jinnian was startled, then spread his hands and said, "Sister Yun, I'm still a student..."

"Okay... let's use drinks instead of bars."

She poured a few drinks, picked them up, and solemnly thanked Qin Jinnian: "I promise this is the last time... Today, sister thanks you. Let me toast to you."

Qin Jinnian felt a little helpless, so he also drank a cup, then smiled and said, "Okay, that's it. If you mention it again, I'll really leave..."

"No more talking." Lin Yun smiled and shook her head as if relieved.

"Come, let's eat... Ningning, you like fish, right? There are so many fish bones. Do you know how to remove them?"

“Yes.”

"Oh, let me see... Hey, it's really clean. Hahaha, Ningning is awesome."

Lin Yun didn't thank him any more, and the three of them enjoyed their meal happily.

Qin Jinnian really liked this little girl Ningning. He would pick up food for her from time to time and talk to her, which made Ningning's eyes brighter and brighter.

Although there was no smile on his little face, he was sitting there shaking his short legs, and it was obvious that he was in a very happy mood.

Lin Yun also had a smile on her face, picking up food for Qin Jinnian and Ningning from time to time, and occasionally chatting with them.

"Where are you from, Xiaonian?"

"Tianxin Road, does Sister Yun know about it?"

"Tianxin Road... Yeah, I know it roughly. Do you live here alone?"

"I'm still in school. My home is too far away, so I rented a house here."

"Well, in that case...if it's inconvenient for you in the future, come to my place for dinner."

"Ah? This, is not necessary?"

"Are you being polite to me?"

"Hahaha, I'm not being polite, it's just that I have to finish school at around 8 or 9 o'clock every night, and I will eat in the cafeteria."

"What about the weekend? Ordering takeout at home alone?"

"this……"

"Okay, it's settled. Come to my place to eat on weekends from now on. Ningning and I have to eat too, so it's just a matter of paying for extra dishes and chopsticks... It's better to eat less takeout, it's unhygienic."

"Well... Hehe, well, I am indeed tired of eating takeout. Sis, your cooking skills are incredible."

"As long as you are used to it."

It was just an ordinary dinner and both the host and the guests enjoyed it very much.

After eating and drinking, Qin Jinnian said goodbye. Before leaving, he touched Ningning's head again, and the little girl obediently let him rub it.

Lin Yun walked him to the door and only closed the door after seeing him open the door and go into the house.

After returning home and lying on the bed, Qin Jinnian still had a smile on his face. After being in a daze for a while, he let out a long breath.

Today's dinner was the most stable meal he had had since he came into this world.

Sure enough, once a person's mentality changes, everything around them seems to change accordingly.

Because of his superpowers, Qin Jinnian finally had the confidence to face everything in this world. The change in his emotions was the most significant.

"Keep up your efforts and strive to upgrade your mental strength to the maximum level in the next two days."

Qin Jinnian thought about it, got up, washed up, and then got into bed...

Although his mental strength had greatly increased, he didn't sleep last night and had been up all day today, so he still felt a little tired.

Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.

…

Early the next morning, Qin Jinnian took the early bus to Qinghe Lake and began his upgrade journey.

"By the way, I'll leave a big fish for today... as a surprise for the little girl."

Qin Jinnian remembered what Ningning said yesterday that she liked eating fish.
