Isn't rejection usually a back-and-forth tug-of-war? She hadn't even started to persuade him, and Chen Fei hadn't even pretended to say "no," but he accepted it already?!
"I'm not collecting, I'm buying. I can't take advantage of the masses... I can't take advantage of my colleagues."
Chen Fei had a serious look on his face. He rummaged through her sleeves and actually found a few first-level crystal cores, which he gave to Xie Pu Rou.
"Is this enough?" Chen Fei asked politely.
"Too many."
Chen Fei: "That's enough."
Xie Purou's eyes flickered a few times before she accepted the crystal core and deposited it into Chen Fei's personal account.
We agreed to treat her to a meal. She has so many bases... Anyway, she is a supplier to less than 20 bases, so she can afford a few snowflake cakes.
Chen Fei didn't know whether he was really greedy or hadn't eaten well, so he opened the package and started eating on the spot.
Sharing food seemed to bring people closer, or perhaps eating sweets could improve their mood. Chen Fei, who had originally had a serious expression, took the initiative to talk to her after eating a snowflake crisp.
"You did it yourself?"
"Yeah, that's amazing, isn't it?" Xie Purou said proudly, and recommended it to her: "That freeze-dried peach snowflake crisp is a new product. I tried a few and I think it's okay."
Coincidentally, the freeze-dried fruit in the second piece of snowflake crisp that Chen Fei opened the package and put into his mouth was freeze-dried peach.
Chen Fei savored it for a moment, and the fragrance of peaches seemed to still linger between his lips and teeth.
While eating, Chen Fei took off her homemade mask, revealing a very aggressive face, coupled with a sense of alienation in her eyes, a world-weary face that was beautiful and unique.
"It's delicious. I didn't expect that you, as a shop owner, have such good cooking skills."
Xie Purou was praised to the point and felt a little flattered.
"If you like to eat, come and spend time on our cruise ship. I made all the dishes. Even those boxed lunches you sent people to buy from me were made by me."
Chen Fei finally managed to utter a sentence after a while: "Then you are really amazing."
"Speaking of this..." Xie Purou wanted to ask just now: "Why don't you wear a breathing mask? Why do you wear a homemade one?"
"We bought too few bases, and my level is not high enough, so I can't get any." Chen Fei's voice was a little muffled.
There weren't many space users at the base, and it took quite a while for them to go back and forth to the Grape Base. Their spaces also had to be filled with food, so where would they find enough space to store those 'unimportant' supplies...
What's more, she is just a woman.
If it weren't for the fact that the store owner is a woman and the higher-ups attach great importance to her and think it would be more convenient to send her to connect with the store owner, this good opportunity would have been snatched away by a man long ago.
Of course, this didn't mean no one wanted this position, directly liaising with the store owner. Even she hadn't expected the higher-ups to be so forceful this time. She'd assumed she wouldn't have the upper hand with so many people competing, but she hadn't expected the job to end up falling to her.
Chen Fei sighed, feeling that the owner was completely different from what she thought.
She thought he might be a very serious leader or something, so she was careful not to offend him.
It wasn't until she took the initiative to hand over the snowflake crisp...that she confirmed that the owner was the gentle girl next door as she appeared on the surface.
However, Chen Fei firmly believed that the owner must have a side that others could not see. Otherwise, if she was really a weak girl who was consistent in appearance and heart, how could she be so powerful?
Xie Pu Rou had no idea about Chen Fei's wild thoughts. She followed Chen Fei in high spirits, her mind empty and full of thoughts about what to eat after she was done with her work.
As they were talking, the two of them rode their horses to the next building. When they were walking back after placing the supplies, Xie Pu Rou took the initiative to attack again.
"Um... do you want milk tea? It's hot, drink some to warm you up." Xie Pu Rou said as she took out two cups of warm milk tea from the space.
The milk tea bottle has been processed with a powerful system packaging, so the temperature inside can be transferred to the outside without cooling the drink. It is a disposable milk tea cup with heat preservation function.
"You..." Chen Fei stopped talking before she could finish her words, because Xie Pu Rou stuffed the milk tea into her hands without saying anything.
"Drink some. Your hands are cold. Drink something to warm you up." Xie Purou lowered her head and took a big sip. The sweet peach oolong taste warmed the body even in winter. The world seemed to be a sweet pink.
"It's peach-flavored milk tea. It doesn't require any technology or hard work. It's healthy milk tea and won't make you fat." She added this thoughtfully.
Chen Fei reached into the bag from which she had taken out the crystal core earlier. She was about to take out something else, but Xie Pu Rou stopped her.
"There are still extra crystal cores you just gave me. Just take them from inside."
Chen Fei said nothing, lowered his head and took a sip of the milk tea in his hand.
It was indeed like she said, with a sweet peach flavor. Taking a sip, it felt like being in a world of peaches. Chen Fei wanted to open the cup and smell it to see if the peach tea aroma would hit him.
Took another sip.
I couldn't help but take another big bite.
Chen Fei said: "It's warm being around you."
The principle of Xie Purou's protective shield is that the wind and snow will be completely dissipated before they touch her, so Chen Fei, who walks within the range of her protective shield, will not feel so cold.
Before reaching the next building, Chen Fei had unknowingly finished the milk tea in his hand.
After drinking something warm and wearing warm clothes, she felt her face warming up along with her body. It felt so comfortable.
"That..." Chen Fei didn't know if it was necessary. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to remind the seemingly harmless shop owner in front of him.
She said in a roundabout way, "If it wasn't me who came today, but a man, would you also give him snacks and milk tea like this?"
"No." Xie Purou didn't even hesitate. "If it were a man, he wouldn't even say a few words..."
At least that's how she dealt with Ying Yu who needed her to deliver supplies last time.
"Why..." Chen Fei blurted out and wanted to ask why, but he stopped in time when he realized that it was inappropriate to ask.
She understood almost immediately.
Since the store owner doesn't like to communicate with men, this popular position that allows her to show her face in front of the store owner fell to her.
Chen Fei smacked his lips. It was indeed delicious. Both the snowflake crisps and the milk tea were fragrant.
"Shopkeeper, please don't blame me for being nosy. I just wanted to remind you that the higher-ups value you so much, so please try to put on some airs..."
Chen Fei complained in his heart: While the base is paying attention to it, we must set up some rules. Otherwise, we will be easily bullied by the staff.
"Okay, thanks for the reminder." Xie Pu Rou could personally experience the twists and turns as she walked around the base.
Faced with Chen Fei's reminder, she responded seriously and kept it in mind.
