"Why did you change your phone?"
"Before I went to Tianjin, I forgot my cell phone at home, and the Countermeasures Bureau didn't bring it for me. Look, they gave me a cell phone, and it seems to be a special edition, with super performance and long battery life!"
——No wonder Qiao Muyi and Gu Yueyan couldn’t contact you.
"Why don't I get this kind of treatment... Hmm? This fried egg with leek, crab and shrimp is really good! Has the canteen added any new dishes? And the Dragon Boat Festival has been over for more than ten days, are there still rice dumplings?"
Dong Chengling came with a thermos box and really planned to have dinner with Ren Suo.
The insulated box was not big, and it only contained three dishes of home-cooked food and two rice dumplings, which were still steaming hot. Ren Suo was really hungry. As a cultivator, he consumed a lot of food, and so many things happened tonight, so he was already starving.
Seeing Ren Suo's face greasy after eating, Dong Chengling smiled and said, "This is not packed from the canteen. I made it myself."
"Hmm?" Ren Suo chewed the glutinous rice, scrambled eggs, and crab meat in his mouth. He swallowed it with great difficulty before asking, "Why did you think of cooking for yourself?"
"When I was in trouble, you were willing to treat me to a meal every day. I will always remember this kindness in my heart." Dong Chengling said with a smile:
"I had been thinking about how to repay you at that time. I had planned to treat you to lunch at noon, but when I arrived, you were not at home."
——Heilingdang, it would be great if you could recognize people. Then you can pick any photo of American Shorthair, British Shorthair or Ragdoll cat. You can even let me keep a cat!
"So I thought at that time, why not cook a meal myself to show my sincerity?" Dong Chengling scratched his cheek with his index finger, a little embarrassed:
"But the last time I cooked was a year ago. I bought a lot of ingredients for lunch today and cooked slowly myself. The result was a barely edible meal... I bought the rice dumplings and heated them myself."
"That's not the case." When someone invited him to dinner, Ren Suo naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to complain about this or that:
"You've cooked a delicious meal. I've been eating in the dining hall these days, and it's really satisfying to be able to eat home-cooked meals like this once in a while!"
Hearing Ren Suo's comments, Dong Chengling's cheeks flushed and she smiled generously, "As long as you like it."
Ren Suo asked again: "But why are we eating zongzi today?"
"Because you left on the Dragon Boat Festival, I was thinking... By the way, why did you take so long to open the door? What happened?"
“Ahem…”
Ren Suo, who was choking while eating sticky rice, quickly drank a few sips of water to soothe his throat. However, Dong Chengling did not care about him because of this - it was too unbelievable for a monk to choke to death while eating zongzi - but stared at Ren Suo with great curiosity.
Ren Suo didn't expect that even though he tried his best to change the subject, he still couldn't make Dong Chengling forget about it.
"I...received your call, and then..."
"Then?"
"Then I... fell. Hmm!" Ren Suo pointed at the corner of the table in the living room: "I bumped into the corner. Look, isn't the corner very sharp?"
The glass coffee table in the living room is a square rectangle. It would definitely hurt if you hit the sharp corners with force.
"My knee is so bruised that it would be rude to receive you like this, so I'll heal myself first before opening the door... Cheng Ling?"
Ren Suo discovered that Dong Chengling didn't seem to be listening to him when he was talking halfway, but was staring at his eyes in a daze.
"Ah?" Dong Chengling came back to his senses: "Oh, I see, you fell down happily because you received my call... um um..."
As she spoke, she seemed to want to see if the corner of the coffee table was as sharp as Ren Suo said, so she walked over and touched the glass coffee table.
Ren Suo felt that what Dong Chengling said seemed to be slightly different from what he described, but he was in a state of adrenaline rush and didn't care too much.
Now Dong Chengling finally gave up the topic and breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly scanned all the food.
He burped after eating so much and exclaimed, "Ah, I am alive again."
"Is it that exaggerated?" Dong Chengling said with a smile: "If you like, I will cook for you every day."
"Huh?" Ren Suo was stunned.
"Now that I'm back at the academy, my wristband points have increased several times, so I won't be short of money because I'll spend all my points during training." Dong Chengling gently pushed her drooping hair behind her ears and said:
"I used to like cooking for myself, but I gave it up after coming to Lianjiang to attend college. The dormitory doesn't allow the use of high-power electrical appliances. I can cook for myself at Tianlian College, but I don't have the points to buy ingredients."
"Now I can use wristband points to buy food, but I don't eat much. If I eat well at every meal, there will definitely be leftovers. Considering health and taste, I will avoid leftovers if possible."
"So, if you're willing to help me eat, then I can cook to my heart's content."
Dong Chengling looked at Ren Suo and blinked. "At the same time, this is also my gratitude - as a thank you for treating me to so many meals. However, it may not be as delicious as the food in the cafeteria."
Is it to repay a favor? Ren Suo breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously said, "How can I be so embarrassed..."
"If you don't want to, I can also treat you to a meal in the cafeteria every day." Dong Chengling: "If I have the ability now but still don't do anything in return, I will feel guilty."
Ren Suo couldn't think of any reason to refuse. In fact, he had no reason to refuse, so he changed the subject: "Well... classmate Gu Yue also invited you to dinner, don't you plan to thank her?"
“Yes!”
Dong Chengling suddenly realized something: "I want to thank Gu Yue as well. I'll ask her if she's willing to come over and eat with me every day. If the three of us eat together, I can cook more dishes!"
Ren Suo really didn't want to disturb Dong Chengling's interest, and he had been eating there for so many days and was already a little tired of the cafeteria.
"Then I'll trouble you..."
“You’re welcome.” Dong Chengling picked up the plate that was licked clean by Ren Suo, put it in the bag, and turned around to look outside.
“It’s still raining.”
Ren Suo also said, "Yes, the rain was really heavy and sudden, but summer in Lianjiang is the peak season for heavy rains, so it's normal."
"yes."
After a moment of silence, Dong Chengling picked up the bag.
"Then I'll go back."
Hearing this, the heavy weight hanging on Ren Suo's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys finally fell down. He almost relaxed to the bone marrow, suppressed his joy and said calmly: "Oh, goodbye, I'll take you out."
However, when Dong Chengling walked to the door and turned around, he suddenly shouted, "Cockroach!"
Hmm? Ren Suo turned around and saw a cockroach in the corner, climbing tenaciously towards his bedroom.
Would Dong Chengling be so frightened as Gu Yueyan, a weakling, that he would hit his head against the wall and faint?
No she didn't!
With a flick of her hand, she took out three or four tissues from the tissue box on the coffee table. She pointed at the cockroach with her left hand and shouted -
"drop!"
The cockroach was nothing, but Dong Chengling seemed to have anticipated it and rushed over with a tissue!
Perhaps it was because the murderous aura and the noise behind him were too intense, the cockroach's speed suddenly increased, and it actually managed to squeeze through the crack in the door and get into his bedroom!
“Don’t go!”
Dong Chengling and the cockroach moved so fast that Ren Suo couldn't react before Dong Chengling opened his bedroom door and went in to kill the cockroach!
