Chapter 616 Little Puppy

After Xiangyang introduced himself, he smiled warmly at the two of them, revealing a row of clean and neat teeth.

Annan raised his eyebrows. This is the typical image of a little puppy! The kind of person who would stop and watch a few seconds of a short video when he saw it.

Gu Zhiyu first glanced at An Nan beside him, and then replied to him expressionlessly: "What's the matter?"

Facing the two people's cold attitude, Xiang Yang still had a smile on his face:

"It's nothing serious, I just came to get to know the neighbors. Please forgive me if I disturb you."

As he spoke, he raised the thing in his hand forward and said, "This is a small gift from me. I hope you don't mind it."

Annan glanced at what was in his hand.

One was a small, heavy bag of groceries, and the other was a box of heating pads.

Yes, it’s a whole box, with about ten stickers in it.

This meeting gift is quite expensive!

Heating pads are very useful in extremely cold weather, and they are consumable items, so one less is needed when one is used.

Although she had plenty of money in her hands, if she put it somewhere else, it would be snatched away.

Xiang Yang saw that the two people opposite him didn't say anything, didn't show any joy on their faces, and didn't show any intention to take it, so he said sincerely:

"You're welcome, everyone. Every family has a gift for meeting someone. You weren't home when I came here last time, so I was a little late in delivering it."

Annan gave him an ambiguous look. The gift Aunt Hu had mentioned earlier did not include a heating pad.

The things he brought today were obviously more than what he gave to others.

So he finally said the first sentence: "This meeting gift is quite expensive! Heat pads are so scarce, did you give one to every family?"

Xiang Yang shook his head and said truthfully, "No. The meeting gifts from other families were just a bag of groceries."

Annan raised his eyebrows: "Then why do I have this at home?"

Because their house is different from others, and you flatter them and look down on others?

Xiang Yang said frankly: "To thank you!"

Annan was stunned for a moment: "Thank you for what?"

Xiang Yang said slowly, "The Linglong base sent a notice to each of our families, asking them to hand over protective grain."

He paused, and said a little embarrassedly: "To be honest, I prepared everything to save my life. But somehow, they only left your family. They stayed here for a while and then left directly."

At this point, he looked grateful: "I know, it must be something you said or did that stopped them from harassing others."

As he spoke, he raised the things in his hand and said, "This thank-you gift is what you deserve. It's just a token of my gratitude. I hope you don't think it's too little."

Annan didn't expect that he gave the warming patch because of this matter.

Whether it was the Linglong Base or the previous Canglang Gang, it was not the first time that she had solved problems and benefited the entire villa area.

But no other residents have ever come to express their gratitude.

They would just hide at home, secretly thanking their lucky stars that there was a tall man to hold up the sky when it fell.

Xiang Yang was the first person to come and express his gratitude.

And his thank-you gift was quite sincere. This whole box of heating pads could be opened and exchanged for food, and each pad could be exchanged for the bag in his hand.

The most important thing is that this person's tone is generous and sincere, and his expression is frank.

Unlike Xiao Youzong, whose eyes are deep and whose words reveal his thoughts, he wants to find out everything about her.

With the approval of Sister Peipei, Aunt Hu, and Long Cong'an, her tone softened a little:

"You're welcome. We're just solving our own problems."

Xiang Yang shook his head and said, "That's also a benefit for me. You can keep the things without worry. If you need anything in the future, you two brothers and sisters can tell me."

Then he bowed earnestly and said, "Thank you very much!"

Hearing him calling her brother and sister, Annan looked at him again and asked, "How old are you?"

Xiang Yang raised his head and said, "Twenty-two."

Annan said, "Oh." That's really small.

Three years after the apocalypse, she is now 25 years old physically and 29 years old spiritually. Gu Zhiyu is also 31 years old now.

Really worthy of being called brother or sister.

She couldn't help but think of Zhao Pingan and found it a little funny. This guy is almost 30 years old, why is he jealous of a 20-year-old boy?

However, the way this younger brother speaks and behaves is indeed very mature, which makes it easy for people to ignore his age.

Annan found it a little strange. When the natural disaster struck, he was only 19 years old! He should have been a freshman with a clear face, so how could he behave like this?

So I couldn't help but ask: "Looking at your age, were you also a student at Linbei University before the disaster?"

But Xiangyang shook his head and said, "No. I didn't go to college. My family was poor, so I dropped out of school very early and made a living by doing odd jobs everywhere."

This is somewhat surprising.

He was able to move to the villa area now, and he gave so many gifts at once, so he must be quite powerful. If his family was in difficult circumstances, then weren't all these rich resources earned by him after the natural disaster?

An Nan became alert and inquired carefully, "Who else is at home now?"

The corners of Xiangyang's mouth, which had been slightly raised, suddenly fell.

He said with a desolate look, "No one is left. I am the only one. My parents were in a car accident a few years ago and are disabled. I also have a little sister who was born with a disability and has been bedridden for many years. After the natural disaster, they didn't survive for long and passed away one after another."

Oh my god, this life story is so tragic.

Annan looked at him with his eyes downcast, and suddenly remembered a popular meme he had seen online before:

A sick mother, a gambling father, a school-age sister, and a broken boy. If I don't help him, who will?

She smacked her lips and said, "You're pretty amazing then."

Then, he pointed at the things in his hand and said, "You are so generous. Now I have found a way out."

Xiang Yang raised his eyes and nodded his head in embarrassment at her: "It's not that I'm being too generous. I just think that if I want to express my feelings, I should naturally show as much sincerity as possible."

Then he explained, "I've had better luck in the past two years. When it was extremely hot, no one wanted these heating pads, but now they've become so valuable. Feel free to take them. I didn't pay much for them."

An Nan curled his lips slightly: "I appreciate the kindness, but I won't accept the gift. You can keep it for yourself."

The two of them pushed and shoved each other back and forth for a few words, and Xiang Yang didn't bother to argue anymore. He could only bow again and said, "Thank you."

Then he stood up and smiled again: "I didn't expect that the two brothers and sisters are so good-looking and kind-hearted."

Annan opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Gu Zhiyu, who had been silent the whole time.

"An An, it's too cold, let's go back."
