Chapter 331 Can I eat this myself?
Qiao Xing wholeheartedly agreed. Although she wasn't hungry now, she had a premonition that she would be too hungry to sleep in less than two hours.
Qin Ce quickly ordered his food and then went back to work on the sofa.
Qiao Xing sighed as she watched him busy himself.
He said he wanted to add a bed yesterday, but there's been no news today. I don't know if he didn't go to the doctor or if the hospital disagreed.
An hour later, the takeout arrived, and Qin Ce went downstairs to pick it up.
He went downstairs, where Xiao Li had been waiting in the lobby for quite some time.
"Mr. Qin, here is your dinner."
Qin Ce took the food box, opened it, checked it, and only after confirming that everything was correct did he carry the food box upstairs.
Qiao Xing stared at the exquisite food box in his hand, and couldn't help but wonder how much this takeout meal would cost.
Qin Ce placed the food box on the table, opened her small table, and took out and arranged the contents.
"Are food delivery services this high-end now? They even serve it in a bowl."
And this bowl is quite exquisite.
Qin Ce handed her the spoon, but didn't answer her question properly, "Can you eat by yourself?"
"Yes, yes, I can do it myself." Qiao Xing picked up the bowl on the table. It was exquisite, but it contained porridge.
She couldn't tell what kind of porridge it was; it was white with a hint of red. She took a sip, and it was sweet.
"Is this goji berry and white fungus porridge?" The smooth texture made it taste like white fungus.
Qin Ce nodded: "Mm."
If she knew this bowl of porridge cost several hundred yuan, she probably wouldn't have been able to finish the meal.
"It's delicious. I'll try it after I'm discharged from the hospital." Qiao Xing had never cooked porridge with white fungus before, and she didn't expect it to be so tasty.
She finished the bowl of porridge, then looked at something else. "What's this?"
Qin Ce succinctly replied, "Soup."
Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth. How could she not know that this was soup?
She took a sip, and it tasted good, but she couldn't taste anything special. After drinking it, her lips felt a little sticky, just like when she ate pig's trotters before, but she couldn't taste the pig's trotters.
What kind of soup is this?
"Fish maw soup".
"Never heard of it." Qiao Xing took a few more big gulps; it tasted much better than the brown sugar and egg soup his aunt had brought.
She showed off all the takeout Qin Ce ordered; it looked like a lot, but actually each bowl only contained a little bit.
Are you full?
Qiao Xing nodded slightly. "I'm full, but did you really eat?"
"I've already eaten." Qin Ce packed up his things and casually tossed them into the food box. Qiao Xing saw him take it out to throw it away and quickly stopped him.
"Don't throw it away, take it to wash it, and bring it back to use later."
Qin Ce looked down at the food box in his hand. "What are you going to do with it?"
Qiao Xing said, "That bowl is quite pretty, and that box you're holding looks like it's made of bamboo. It's very nice. Take it back to store your odds and ends."
Qin Ce's lips twitched. He tried to persuade Qiao Xing to give up, "You like to buy new ones later."
"Oh dear, how many minutes can it take you to wash? Why don't you leave it here and I'll wash it when I'm done?"
Qin Ce had no choice but to sigh, then picked up the box and went back to the bathroom.
He washed all the bowls clean, then glanced at the bottom of each bowl; the shop's name was still printed on them.
After washing it thoroughly, I put the bowl back in the box and placed it on the table for Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing realized that he was not just a big spender, but was throwing away such good things.
Seeing that Qin Ce was working, she took out her phone and started playing games.
These past two days, Little Rabbit has been offline, and Qin Yi has been busy playing matches, so Qiao Xing has been playing by himself.
She had previously upgraded to Diamond, but in the last couple of days it has dropped back to Platinum.
Sure enough, her previous feeling that she had become better was just an illusion; she was still as bad as ever.
After playing a few rounds, she was so sleepy that she looked at the time and saw it was past ten o'clock. She put down her phone and said to Qin Ce, "Qin Ce, aren't you going to sleep?"
Qin Ce looked up at her.
Qiao Xing's meaning was clear: he wanted him to go to sleep.
"sleep."
After Qin Ce finished speaking, he closed his notebook and turned off the light.
He made do on the sofa for the night and didn't ask for an extra bed.
The sofa was too short to fit his legs, so he had to put both feet on the ground and slept on the sofa all night.
He was probably really tired, because he slept until dawn.
When he woke up, there was a blanket on him.
Qin Ce turned his head to look at the bed, and the next second, he suddenly sat up.
Qiao Xing isn't in bed!
He went to the restroom, but there was no one there.
Qin Ce took out his phone and called Qiao Xing, but the phone rang from the bed; she didn't have her phone with her.
He threw off the blanket and strode outside.
After searching the entire floor without finding Qiao Xing, Qin Ce, for some unknown reason, went down to the fifth floor—Wang Qin's ward.
He arrived at the door and, sure enough, saw Qiao Xing inside.
However, he didn't go in.
Wang Qin was also somewhat surprised that Qiao Xing came to see her.
Her face was wrapped in gauze, almost completely covering it; Qiao Xing almost couldn't find her just now.
Because the ward was a double room, but the bed next to it was empty, Qiao Xing stared at Wang Qin for a long time until Wang Qin called out to her, at which point Qiao Xing recognized her.
Wang Qin propped herself up and sat up, and Qiao Xing quickly went to help her.
Wang Qin was slightly flattered. She looked at Qiao Xing excitedly and said, "Thank you, thank you."
Qiao Xing also looked a little uncomfortable. She looked around and asked, "Why are you all alone?"
"Xiao Xi went out to buy breakfast, she should be back soon. How are you? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I'll be discharged soon. What about you? What did the doctor say?"
Wang Qin forced a smile, as if she wanted to laugh, but the injury on her face prevented her from doing so.
She said, "My injuries aren't serious, just burns that will leave scars. But I'm already this old, so it doesn't matter whether I look good or not."
As Wang Qin spoke, she looked at Qiao Xing with guilt, "Xingxing, I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."
"It's all in the past, let's not talk about it." Qiao Xing didn't want to recall what happened that day.
"Yes, now that person is here, I can rest assured." Although Wang Qin's face was disfigured, at least she could live each day with peace of mind from now on.
No more nightmares every night, no more living in fear every day.
"Where are his parents? Won't they come looking for you?"
Qiao Xing thought of Lin Qiang's parents. Their son had died. Even if they didn't cause trouble for Wang Qin, they would probably still try to get their hands on Lin Xi.
After all, they have no one to support them in their old age, and Lin Xi is their granddaughter, so they will definitely try to get her back.
Wang Qin said, "I don't care about them anymore. I only let Xiao Xi suffer so much because they begged me. Now that Lin Qiang is dead, I have nothing to do with that family anymore."
"They can forget about taking Xiao Xi away."
Seeing the determination in her eyes, Qiao Xing felt there was nothing to worry about.
Qiao Xing remembered something else, "About that house...you don't want the 300,000?"
Wang Qin now has to support Lin Xi, but she has no money, her face is disfigured, and it's even harder for her to find a job. Qiao Xing doesn't quite believe that she really doesn't want him.
Wang Qin gazed intently at Qiao Xing for a long while before saying, "Xingxing, I don't know what you think of me. When I was young, I did make mistakes. I selfishly thought that people should live for themselves."
"I'm sorry, and I know that no matter what I do, I can't make up for all the years I've wronged you. But I still hope that you can give me a chance. Whether you forgive me or not, at least let me do something for you."
“I never even considered taking that 300,000. Although I’m short of money and have to support Xiao Xi, I wouldn’t feel at ease taking that 300,000. If Xiao Ce hadn’t wanted to buy a house, I wouldn’t have insisted on taking my sister-in-law’s money.”
