Shi Yao was tormented by that idiot all night yesterday. Just when he was about to fall asleep, the idiot dragged him out of bed and made him tell stories, watch cartoons, play rock-paper-scissors... It was a variety of ways to torture him.
He then realized that his terrible adoptive parents hadn't kindly left him a place to sleep; they were just dumping a huge problem on him.
Finally, the idiot insisted on playing Candy Crush, so Shi Yao gave him his phone to play with, hoping to take a nap. But somehow, the idiot accidentally clicked on a bunch of online loan apps and almost took out a loan of 150,000 yuan using his phone.
After enduring a night of hardship, Shi Yao rushed to Jinghe Hospital early in the morning, using the excuse of bringing breakfast to his girlfriend who was hospitalized.
"Breakfast is ready, my princess." Shi Yao placed the breakfast he was carrying on the bedside table.
He opened the lunchbox, and the aroma of rice wafted out.
He Qinqin sniffed, a wave of nostalgia washing over her: "Plain porridge!"
When she was in school, she secretly stayed overnight at Shi Yao's house. The first time she ate white porridge was when she was hungry at night, and Shi Yao cooked it for her. The two of them shared a spoon and finished a bowl of white porridge.
She swallowed hard: "I haven't had this for days, and I've been craving it."
"And there's more. This pork tenderloin roll." Shi Yao handed a pork tenderloin roll to He Qinqin: "I read the comments online. It was my fault. I always prepare porridge for you because you like it so much, but I never prepare any meat."
He Qinqin got angry when she heard Shi Yao's words: "Why are you listening to those netizens online?"
“I don’t want them to talk about you like that.” He patted He Qinqin’s head: “I saw pork tenderloin rolls on the way and thought I’d buy two so we could share them, but the owner said there was only one last batch of pork tenderloin left.”
"You eat it, I won't eat it."
Upon hearing this, He Qinqin's eyes welled up with tears, filled with remorse.
To be honest, He Qinqin was a little resentful after drinking plain porridge for a while, wondering if Shi Yao didn't care about her anymore.
But seeing Shi Yao's actions now, He Qinqin felt guilty again. How could she have suspected Shi Yao of malice?
Boys are naturally careless; Shi Yao is just a straight man who doesn't know how to be flexible.
I should be more tolerant of him; I was too picky, having been used to eating delicacies.
At this point, He Qinqin felt a little resentful that Si Jiuyin had fed her too well in the past.
"I know in my heart whether you're good to me or not. You're not living with them."
He Qinqin grabbed Shi Yao's hand: "Shi Yao, haven't you had breakfast yet? Let's each have half of this."
"No need, I just bought it for you to eat." He said affectionately, "I'd rather go hungry myself than let my little princess go hungry."
Upon hearing Shi Yao's words, He Qinqin looked at the pork tenderloin roll and white porridge in her hand and felt that this was the most delicious and abundant dish in the world.
One bite, and it's all love.
"Waaah." She ate while wiping away her tears: "Shi Yao, I'll never find another person as good as you."
Shi Yao smiled, as if suddenly remembering something: "Qinqin, have you been short of money lately?"
"I saw the bank's reminder text message on your phone that day, demanding repayment."
Shi Yao reached out and wiped the white porridge from He Qinqin's mouth: "I'll pay it back for you. You really are something, always bearing difficulties alone. It breaks my heart."
"You owe 20,000, right? My money is tied up in the stock market and I can't touch it, but I'm trying to borrow from someone."
Just as He Qinqin was about to say that the production team had already transferred the money to her, Shi Yao transferred 5,200 yuan to He Qinqin without further ado.
"We've already raised 5,200."
Shi Yao's phone beeped with a message notification, and he excitedly showed He Qinqin the chat history, "Look, I just borrowed another 1,800!"
The person who transferred money to Shi Yao was identified as Aunt Li, the cleaning lady. When He Qinqin saw the chat history between Shi Yao and this cleaning lady, she felt a pang of sadness.
[Aunt Li: You stinking security guard! I finally cleaned up the mess, and you littered with cigarette butts and betel nut shells! You're an uneducated, incompetent, and low-class hoodlum. I despise you from the bottom of my heart!]
[Shi Yao: Aunt Li, please lend me 1,800 yuan. I know you look down on me and think I'm poor and incompetent, but my girlfriend is in big trouble this time, and I really feel sorry for her. Please, please lend me the money.]
He Qinqin felt extremely distressed, regretting that she was not as good as she used to be.
She was so touched that she almost couldn't contain herself. Shi Yao, who had never shown any weakness or dared to confront Si Jiuyin and Si Jin before, had actually humbled himself to borrow money from a cleaning lady for her sake!
A sense of indebtedness and guilt welled up in He Qinqin's heart.
"Shi Yao, don't be like this. I don't want you to be so pathetic." She hugged Shi Yao's waist, crying uncontrollably, her heart breaking.
"The production team of 'City of Light' has already transferred my 210,000 yuan fee to me today, and I have already paid off my credit card."
A dark glint flashed in Shi Yao's eyes, and his tone was ambiguous, "Is it true? Are you saying this because you don't want me to worry?"
He Qinqin nodded frantically, showing Shi Yao the balance in her bank card: "I really don't want to see you like this because of me, it hurts my heart to death."
Shi Yao glanced at He Qinqin's bank card balance screen, a calculating glint in his eyes: "Well, you should keep that 5200 yuan. It's for your living expenses, and the number is especially auspicious."
"Oh, right!" He Qinqin left Shi Yao's embrace and took out her phone to return the 5,200 yuan transfer from Shi Yao.
Shi Yao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw He Qinqin return the 5,200 yuan to him. He was just putting on an act. But it didn't matter that He Qinqin accepted it. He could coax the money back in a few days.
“Baby, your understanding makes my heart ache.”
Shi Yao gestured to He Qinqin: "Eat the meat rolls while they're still hot, it's bad for your stomach if you eat them cold."
He Qinqin bit into the pork tenderloin and said, "Shi Yao, you're the one who makes my heart ache. Not only did you put aside your pride to help me borrow money, but you also gave me the last pork tenderloin roll."
"You gave me everything; meeting you is a blessing I have accumulated over three lifetimes."
Shi Yao watched with deep eyes as He Qinqin gratefully finished the entire pork tenderloin roll.
This is not just a simple pork tenderloin roll.
If He Qinqin ever argues with him or disobeys his control, he can say, "I was short of money and went to great lengths to help you pay off your debts. I even gave you the meat rolls instead of eating them myself, and this is how you treat me?"
What happened this morning will serve as a powerful tool for me to control He Qinqin, and it will last a long time.
While He Qinqin's mind was filled with romantic fantasies, Shi Yao was weighing the pros and cons.
It's a really good deal to win He Qinqin's unwavering devotion with just a 9-yuan pork tenderloin.
After He Qinqin finished breakfast, Shi Yao said mysteriously to her, "Qinqin, I have some good news to share with you."
