"No need, I see you like it, so I'll just leave it with you."
"Aren't you going to return it to someone else? It's not convenient to leave it here with me."
"It's alright, it's very convenient. We can just get it from you when he comes to ask for it."
Shen Hua made up her mind; she wouldn't try to take it anymore. This child had had it too hard.
He quickly took out some pills from his pocket and gave them to him.
"I can tell you're a student of alchemy. Although the poison in your body has been neutralized, you still have many hidden injuries. Your pills won't be very effective. I obtained these pills by chance, and they work very well. You can take them and use them!"
Xie Sichen was a little confused, then smiled and took the pill from Shen Hua's hand.
Upon seeing the pills inside, he was momentarily surprised. These pills were rare treasures, existing only in legends. He never expected her to possess them.
"You don't need to look at me like that. I'm not a good person. Everything I do is a transaction. If it weren't for your good cooking skills, I wouldn't have saved you. So you don't need to thank me too much. If you want to thank someone, thank them for their cooking skills."
"Okay, but thank you anyway. Since I accepted your gift, I'll give you something in return!"
Chen Hua tilted his head, and then he received a gift.
"Is it pretty? If it's not pretty, I won't buy it."
"Take a look and see if it looks good."
Xie Sichen took out a bead, which was entirely blue, crystal clear, and as beautiful as Xie Sichen's eyes. Most importantly, it emitted spiritual energy.
"Good stuff, looks good. Is this a demon core? Or... what kind of demon core? I don't remember."
She seemed to have seen this kind of demon core before, yet she also seemed not to have seen it before. She could tell it was a demon core just by looking at it, but she didn't know what kind of demon core it was.
Xie Sichen asked in surprise, "You recognize this? What kind of demon core is it?"
She seemed quite anxious, but after thinking for a long time, Shen Hua couldn't recall anything and shook her head.
"I don't know, I've never seen it before, but it's really pretty. Are you sure you want to give it to me?"
Xie Sichen nodded.
This is the only thing his mother left him, and his origins can be found through this.
But after searching for many years, there was still no news.
Everyone else said he was the Demon King's child, but only he noticed a clue: he might not be the Demon King's child, and his father might be related to this bead.
Shen Hua took it, delighted with it. It was wonderful! She had always coveted Xie Sichen's eyes, but hadn't been able to bring herself to do it. Now, she had something to use.
Moreover, the brightness and color are just as beautiful, but they lack a bit of liveliness. Even Xie Sichen's eyes have lost their liveliness.
He carried too much on his shoulders; it would be normal for him to be without these things, though it would be a little heartbreaking.
However, this thing did look somewhat familiar to her.
She was certain that she would remember anything she had seen before, let alone something so beautiful. Could it be that she had lost her memory?
"I'm going to cook."
Xie Sichen's voice pulled her back to her senses, and she nodded at him.
...
"Sister Wenwen, tomorrow is your birthday, why do you seem a little absent-minded?" Xiyi asked, puzzled.
"I should say I've been distracted since yesterday," Shen Hua added.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about where to celebrate my birthday tomorrow. Don't forget my birthday present."
"Don't worry, everything is ready."
The two women glanced at her, thinking she had forgotten about them because she was in a relationship. Luckily, she remembered to ask them to prepare a birthday gift.
"Sister Wenwen, it's already noon. Are you planning to have lunch with us?" Xiyi asked uncertainly.
Shang Wenwen nodded, still as taciturn as ever, but they noticed something was off about her.
Even if Shang Wenwen were the most aloof person, she wouldn't act like this. Not only was she absent-minded, but she also occasionally revealed a hint of sadness and confusion.
This was unlike the Shang Wenwen they knew, so they concluded that something had happened to her.
Considering that Qi Yi was absent, having been gone since yesterday, they became suspicious.
"Wenwen, did something happen between you and Qi Yi?"
"Yeah! Sister Wenwen, did Qi Yi bully you? Tell us, and we'll help you beat him up."
Xi Yi immediately rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight, but Chen Hua quickly pulled her hand down.
This kind of violence is not good for someone who wants to pursue their crush.
"No, you've misunderstood. He's been quite busy these past few days. I've been thinking about things because I want to sever ties with the Shang family, and Qi Yi's mother came to talk to me."
Shen Hua immediately recalled a scene she had witnessed where the male protagonist's mother slapped a five million dollar check in front of the woman and said, "Take the money and leave my son."
Chen Hua: ...
What nonsense is going on in my head? There's no such thing as money to burn.
"Sister Wenwen, did she try to throw money at you? We'll help you throw money back. It's just money, everyone has money."
Unexpectedly, Xi Yi's thought process was even more novel than hers, making Shen Hua feel inferior.
Does she read those novels too? I'll ask her later.
How did you know?
Shang Wenwen's performance confirmed their suspicions.
"No way! They really threw money at you? How much? I've never encountered anything like this before, I'm quite curious."
Xi Yi immediately bombarded her with questions, as if she wished she were the one receiving the money.
Shen Hua is also quite curious about what it feels like to be showered with money.
"Ten million, let me leave Qi Yi, and let Shang Jiajia marry him."
Good heavens, the price has doubled, but to ask someone to leave for ten million is really going too far, at least that's what Shen Hua thinks.
If it's something she likes, whether it's a person or an item, it's priceless, and she'll pay an astronomical price to buy it.
"But then Qi Yi came. He made some harsh remarks to his mother and then took me away. If he hadn't come, I would have taken out 2,500 yuan and thrown it back at him."
Shen Hua and Xi Yi quickly gave her a thumbs up, saying she was so cool, this was the Shang Wenwen they knew.
"As expected of my sister Wenwen, she's so domineering. That's how it should be done. Those people just think they're so great because they have a little money."
"Yes, I agree with what Xiyi said."
Although I don't know what those people's mentality is, from their perspective, it certainly is.
Ultimately, it all comes down to having money, though she doesn't even know if she's considered rich now.
"It's just that Qi Yi has been assigned to a mission, and I don't know if he can make it here tomorrow."
Good grief, she still wants her boyfriend to celebrate her birthday with her. Or maybe they're overthinking it and wasting their feelings. They're just being sarcastic again.
Pulling Chen Hua along, they hurried towards the dormitory, only to find they had taken the wrong turn and ended up on the way to the cafeteria.
I almost forgot, of the three of them, only Shang Wenwen knows how to cook. She goes to eat with her boyfriend, so the rest of them have no choice but to eat at the cafeteria.
Ultimately, it's because those two have bad hands.
