Wenxi's biological clock had long been established. At that time, even without an alarm clock, she could wake up on time. When she was about to get up, a hand suddenly reached out and startled her.
"Sleep a little longer. We just got married yesterday. If you get up so early today, people will think I'm useless," Qin Mi said.
Wen Xi looked at him blankly, "What does it matter to you whether I get up early or not?"
Seeing Wen Xi's expression, Qin Mi smiled helplessly. Immortals really don't understand the human world. So he pulled Wen Xi into his arms and said with a low laugh, "Just rest when I tell you to. Why all the nonsense?"
With her back pressed against his burning chest, Wenxi felt extremely embarrassed, and two unnatural blushes appeared on her fair face. She had never been so close to anyone before!
Qin Mi remained silent. After a while, Wen Xi turned around and looked at Qin Mi, only to see that Qin Mi's eyes were tightly closed, and it was unclear whether he was asleep or not.
Wenxi didn't understand why she couldn't get up early, so she didn't get up. She closed her eyes, but when she opened them again, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
The dormitory was quiet; Qin Mi was not there.
Wenxi got off the kang (heated brick bed), locked the dormitory door, and slipped into the system kitchen. She washed up first, then ladled out a large bowl of sweet potato and rice porridge in a mixing basin. She also took out four boiled eggs and two salted duck eggs, which she cut into wedges.
Salted duck eggs and congee are a perfect match.
Wenxi had just finished setting out breakfast when she heard a knock on the door. She instinctively asked, "Who is it?"
These good things on the table must not be seen by others, otherwise everyone will probably rush in and snatch them all up.
"Liangliang, it's me. I brought you breakfast." Qin Mi's voice came from outside.
Wen Xi opened the door, pulled Qin Mi inside, looked around, and then quickly locked the dormitory door from the inside.
The breakfast Qin Mi brought back consisted of thin porridge with barely any grains of rice and a few wild vegetable dumplings. Although Wen Xi had "married" Qin Mi, her food rations were not with them, so she had no food to eat. This was all Qin Mi's own food.
Thinking that Qin Mi had given her his own food, Wen Xi was quite touched. She decided to treat Qin Mi better during her time here.
Moreover, she couldn't go back anytime soon. She had no household registration or identity documents and was a vagrant, making her vulnerable to being treated as a spy. Therefore, she needed Qin Mi's protection.
It's a good opportunity for them to make a trade. Qin Mi will protect and safeguard her, and she will provide Qin Mi with food so that he can recover and live out the rest of his days in peace.
As soon as Qin Mi entered the room, he saw the delicious-looking sweet potato porridge on the table and couldn't help but swallow. Wen Xi took the lunchbox from his hand, filled it with sweet potato porridge, and said, "Eat up!"
After Wen Xi sat down, she picked up an egg, tapped it lightly on the table, and started peeling it. Qin Mi quickly took the egg from Wen Xi's hand, saying, "I'll do it."
He quickly peeled the eggs, put them in Wenxi's bowl, and gave her a silly smile.
Wenxi pushed the remaining eggs in front of him, "You can eat the rest!"
"Thank you, Liangliang," Qin Mi said gratefully.
Wenxi didn't eat much and quickly finished eating. She took out two pheasants and two wild ducks that she kept in the system's kitchen, along with thirty eggs and two prepared rabbits. She said to Qin Mi, "Qin Mi, since you have a canteen here, could you take these things to the canteen later to give everyone a little extra food? Just say I brought them from home."
While eating sweet potato porridge, Qin Mi said, "Okay, it just so happens that we got married yesterday. Let's use these dishes to hold our banquet today and let everyone have a good meal."
"Alright, whatever you want." Wen Xi tidied up her things and put them on the table. Although it was a fake marriage, the wedding was already over, so she didn't care about having an extra banquet.
After she returns to her own world, Qin Mi might encounter some trouble.
After all, if a perfectly healthy person just disappears into thin air, it will definitely arouse suspicion. In that case, we can just have Qin Mi say that she is dead.
Qin Mi finished all the sweet potato porridge, eggs, and salted duck eggs, and was so full that he stood there burping. Wen Xi smiled helplessly. Qin Mi felt a little embarrassed, picked up the things Wen Xi had prepared, and went out.
Upon arriving at the cafeteria, Qin Mi handed the pile of food to the person in charge of cooking. The head chef was astonished when he saw all this good food; he hadn't seen such delicious dishes in a very long time.
"Uncle, I got married yesterday. These are the ingredients for the banquet. Please cook them well for me today so everyone can have a good meal," Qin Mi said, patting the chef on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, Xiao Qin, I'll make sure the banquet is beautifully arranged for you," the chef said with a smile. "I wish you both a happy marriage and many children."
Qin Mi found a really good wife. She doesn't hide good things from everyone. He still remembers when Wang Xiao first came, she brought lots of things, but she didn't share a single piece of candy with anyone!
After listening to the chef's words, Qin Mi couldn't help but look up at the distant sky. He was an ordinary person, while Liangliang was the Mountain Goddess. Could the two of them have a child soon and grow old together?
Moreover, Liangliang could leave at any time, and once she leaves, he might never have the chance to see her again in his life.
At noon, Qin Mi brought Wen Xi to the canteen. Everyone knew that Qin Mi was holding a banquet today and that there would be good food in the canteen, so they had all come with their lunchboxes to wait.
There aren't many people working here. Even though some of them bring their families with them, there are still less than twenty people in total. The two large tables in the canteen aren't even full yet!
When they saw Qin Mi and Wen Xi arrive, everyone stood up to congratulate them. Wang Xiao didn't want to stand, but in order to get some meat, he stood up along with everyone else and pretended to be one of them.
The food in the cafeteria smelled delicious, and for the sake of this good meal, she forced herself to suppress her discomfort.
Qin Mi pulled Wen Xi to the open space in the middle of the cafeteria and said with a smile, "Thank you all for coming to my and Liangliang's wedding. Actually, I didn't plan to hold a wedding because the conditions here aren't good enough. But I didn't expect Liangliang to bring so many ingredients from home. A wedding should be lively to feel like a wedding, so we decided to hold the wedding in the cafeteria so that everyone can have a good meal."
"Great!" someone cheered.
"Qin Mi, Liangliang, you two are so generous." Someone gave a thumbs up and said, "If you need any help in the future, just tell me, and I will never refuse to do it if I can."
