Chapter 11: So, treat me to a meal
Passersby looked hurried and just wanted to go home quickly, and no one cared about the poor girl.
Suddenly, it started to rain, and it went from a drizzle to a downpour in less than two minutes.
And the wind seemed to be a little weaker.
The girl struggled to get up from the ground, holding her scratched hand in one hand, and limped back home, all wet.
A wooden board came from nowhere and was blown up by the wind and hit a car. Meng Ci heard someone cursing in the building next door.
"Damn, this is my new car!"
"Ding-ling-ling."
The cell phone on the sofa rang. Meng Ci answered it while sitting on the sofa, then took the remote control and turned on the TV.
"Meng Ci, when you come, remember to drive and pick us up." Liu Jie's commanding voice came from the phone.
At the same time, Liu Jie also heard some voices through the phone, which seemed to be the same as what he said.
"Meng Ci, what was that sound just now?"
Meng Ci turned down the volume of the TV, but his eyes were fixed on Liu Jie who was frowning on the TV. He said perfunctorily, "Nothing, my roommate is watching TV."
Liu Jie was not suspicious. In his opinion, Meng Ci could not lie to him.
Then he ordered in a cold voice, "Come and pick us up quickly."
Meng Ci said hesitantly, "It's raining too hard now, let's wait a while."
"No." Liu Jie was furious. "It's already so late. Why don't you come and pick us up quickly? Do you want us to starve to death?"
Zhang Lu, who was watching the show, quickly took the phone and acted like a good-looking person.
He said in a gentle voice: "Xiao Ci, it is indeed raining a bit heavily now, so you can come back later, don't be anxious."
“Safety first, safety first.”
Zhang Lu and Liu Jie sang the same tune, one in red and the other in white. Meng Ci also followed their wishes and said that he would come as soon as possible.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Jie said unconvincedly: "Auntie, why are you so polite to that guy?"
"That's right. If he doesn't come, I'll starve to death."
In order to maintain her figure, Li Xiaoya only eats a little each time and is now hungry.
Li Xiaoya had just gone to the kitchen and saw only a few packets of snacks and a bunch of stale vegetables.
Li Xiaoya would rather go hungry than eat those things.
Zhang Lu said, "He was yelled at by you just now, and now I am comforting him. I think he will feel embarrassed, so he will definitely speed up."
"Just wait."
Li Shanyang on the side snorted coldly, "Let him come to pick me up, it's only natural. If he comes too late, I'll beat him up."
All the insults that the few people said to Meng Ci were heard by Meng Ci through the TV.
However, Meng Ci didn't react much. After all, he had no feelings for these people, and more importantly, he had to avenge the original Meng Ci.
Meng Ci asked the agent to install this surveillance camera, which is guaranteed to be high definition.
Meng Ci turned down the surveillance volume, drew the curtains, and prepared to cook.
Meng Ci also removed the phone numbers of several people from the blacklist, mainly to appease them and prevent them from leaving.
Although there were a lot of cooked food in the space, in order to prevent people from finding out that he had food, he tried to reduce cooking as much as possible to avoid being smelled.
So now, Meng Ci will cook by himself if he can.
Meng Ci’s craftsmanship is pretty good.
In the real world, Meng Ci has always cooked for himself in order to save some money so that he can buy a house and have a stable residence.
After steaming the rice in the pot and preparing all the dishes, Meng Ci decided to cook later.
I opened the curtains and the rain hit the window with a loud bang.
Meng Ci noticed a figure walking in from a distance downstairs.
When he got downstairs, Meng Ci discovered that the man was actually the man next door.
He was wearing a raincoat and carrying two suitcases, walking into the building with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
After pulling the curtains tight, Meng Ci stopped watching, even though the man looked just like him.
The natural disaster has already begun, and being obsessed with looks will only harm yourself.
After a large pot of rice was steamed, Meng Ci took eggplant and beans from the space, planning to make a bean and eggplant dish, and then took a fish prepared by the hotel from the space.
Two dishes, plus a bowl of seaweed egg soup, perfect.
The meal was just ready when there was an unexpected knock on the door. Meng Ci had no choice but to open it.
When he opened the door, he found that it was the man who saved him. His hair was still dripping with water and he had a towel hanging on his shoulder, wiping it with one hand.
He held a small bag of noodles, a bag of loose rice, two large cabbages, a few tomatoes, and peppers.
Meng Ci looked puzzled.
The man said, "I think the rain won't stop for a while, and I thought you might not have prepared any supplies, so I sent you some."
Meng Ci refused without a second thought: "Thank you for your kindness."
"It's just that you need it too. If the rain really doesn't stop, I'll go buy it myself."
If you receive a favor from someone now, it would be bad if this person becomes dependent on you later and you can't get rid of him.
The man looked Meng Ci up and down and said, "You are so small, you might be blown away by the wind if you go out."
…
Meng Ci was furious. After all, he was 178 cm tall and weighed almost 140 kg, which was a normal weight.
He won't be blown away by the wind at all. You are underestimating him!
Meng Ci smiled but didn't really smile, he gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I'll transfer the money to you."
The man shook his head and said, "No need."
“My name is Shen Que. Since I live next door, please take care of me in the future.”
"My name is Meng Ci, please take care of me."
Meng Ci had no choice but to take the things and then pay for them.
Shen Que declined, "No need for money, I can smell the fragrance of rice in your house."
"Why don't you treat me to a meal? Didn't you say you would treat me this morning?"
It’s all because the food I cooked was so fragrant that this person could smell it.
Meng Ci could only invite the person in stiffly.
For some reason, Meng Ci felt like he was letting a wolf into the house.
Fortunately, Meng Ci had drawn the curtains and turned off the TV.
The doors of several rooms were closed, so Shen Que didn't notice anything wrong.
Shen Que brought the things to the kitchen and saw two dishes and a soup that had already been prepared on the workbench.
Meng Ci said: "Since you want to eat it, I'll fry another one."
"Okay, I'll help you."
Shen Que seemed a bit familiar, and Meng Ci didn't know how to deal with it.
I could only bite the bullet and say, "No, I can do it myself."
"I don't know how to cook, so I just want to learn from you." Shen Que said.
Since everyone said so, Meng Ci had no choice but to nod.
Shen Que took the cabbage and made a dish of pickled cabbage. Three dishes were definitely enough for two people.
During the meal, Meng Ci's cell phone rang several times. Meng Ci simply turned the phone to silent mode and put it upside down on the table.
"Girlfriend?" Shen Que asked. It was no wonder that Shen Que thought too much, after all, the name on his phone was Li Xiaoya.
Meng Ci shook his head and said, "No."
"She's my half sister."
Shen Que realized that he had spoken out of turn and apologized quickly.
But Meng Ci didn't care at all. After dinner, Shen Que helped Meng Ci wash the dishes before leaving.
Meng Ci closed the two doors tightly and then turned on the TV. The angry expressions of Li Xiaoya and the others appeared on TV.
"What does this Meng Ci mean? Does he not want to come pick us up?"
"Dad, Mom, call him quickly."
Liu Jie gently comforted her, "Yaya, don't worry, I'll call him and he will definitely answer."
Hearing Liu Jie's confident voice, Meng Ci shook his head and turned off the phone in his hand.
