“Dongdongdong—”
There was a rhythmic knock on the door, and Gu Qingze knocked lightly on Song Jinnian's door with his knuckles.
After a while, the door was slowly opened, and half a head popped out from inside. After seeing that it was the two of them, he opened the door completely.
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao walked into his room and gently closed the door.
Song Jinnian sat on the bed again, his eyes looking back and forth between the two of them, as if curious about why they came to his room.
"I'm here to bring warmth to my younger brother Jinnian."
Chu Lingxiao, who was standing by, noticed his confusion and said to him with a smile.
Gu Qingze understood what he meant, put the basket in his hand on the table, and then lifted the white cloth covering it.
There were all kinds of food in there. I took a little bit of each one. They were still steaming, obviously freshly baked. The tempting colors and aroma made people salivate just by smelling them.
In fact, it would be the same if you put the purchased food in a storage bag and bring it back, but Gu Qingze always felt that it was a bit weird to pack it like that.
Although he knew that the storage bags were independent spaces and there would be no smell mixing, he just felt that food should not be put in them.
So, he spent two demon coins to buy a bamboo basket from a bamboo basket weaver. It wasn't expensive anyway, so he decided to support the craftsman.
Song Jinnian looked at these delicious foods, his eyes lit up, then he thought of something, and the annoyance in his eyes overflowed again.
However, he didn't say much. He picked up a piece of beef jerky and ate it in one bite.
"Great, great, thank you both brothers, I will definitely finish all these nests."
He slurred, his mouth full.
Looking at him like this, Chu Lingxiao suddenly felt a surge of "fatherly love" and couldn't help but smile. He handed him a glass of water on the table and reminded him softly.
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
Song Jinnian gave him a grateful look, took the glass of water and drank it all.
"Brothers, do you have anything else to do? If not, I'm too tired and want to rest early."
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao looked at each other and heard the meaning of driving away the guests in Song Jinnian's words.
"Brother Jinnian, I have something else to ask you."
Gu Qingze took out the card that had been exchanged for demon coins from the storage bag.
"You've been paying for both of us before, but now we have money, so... please accept it."
Song Jinnian swallowed the dried meat in his mouth and showed a dissatisfied expression.
"Don't you consider me a friend? Why are you being so petty and calculating what's yours and what's mine? Humans are always like this... If other monsters saw me paying, they would be eager to take advantage of me."
When he said this, it seemed that he was not only accusing them in front of him, but also seemed to be accusing another human race in his words.
"That's not what I meant... I just think that no matter what kind of relationship it is, it should be two-way. If it's just one-sided and giving for a long time, it won't go far. We do this because we want to maintain our relationship with Brother Jinnian for a longer period of time, because Brother Jinnian is a very good demon."
Gu Qingze thought for a moment, then looked at him seriously, sincerely and gently.
Being stared at in such a way, Song Jinnian felt a little embarrassed, which was unusual for her. She avoided his gaze and didn't dare to look at him.
"I...I understand...I misunderstood you. I will accept the money."
"It seems that Brother Jinnian also wants to be long-term friends with us. That's great."
Gu Qingze smiled and joked, and then he continued speaking after he felt that the groundwork had been laid.
"Since we both want to be long-term friends, then as friends, we shouldn't hide our worries or sorrows from each other. Instead, we should proactively confide in each other. If Jinnian encounters any problems, he can always confide in Lingxiao and me..."
Having said this, Gu Qingze stopped.
Earlier on the road, Chu Lingxiao raised a possibility that perhaps the other party wanted you to take the initiative to notice it before you confide in him.
He felt that what he said now was perfect. If Jinnian really needed to talk, he would naturally say it after hearing his words. If he didn't say it, it meant that he wanted to handle it alone.
Song Jinnian was not a fool, so he naturally understood what he said. His heart warmed and he forced a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, brothers. I'm really touched. But even if I tell you about my worries, I can't find a solution. So I'd like to be quiet and quiet. I'm sorry to bother you two brothers."
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao nodded, stopped disturbing him, left on their own accord and closed the door.
