Chapter 28

Lin Chengrui took a nap for ten minutes, and when he woke up, Jiang Li had already prepared breakfast.

Tender green vegetables were placed on the noodles, with a fried egg in the middle, a bowl of light noodles, and a bottle of freshly opened rice sauce next to it.

Lin Chengrui went to wash up, sat down, picked up the noodles with chopsticks and put them into his mouth, gobbling them up, saying, "I had a very strange dream this morning."

Jiang Li asked calmly, "What strange dream?"

"I saw you standing in the kitchen, holding your hands like this..." Lin Chengrui imitated his posture: "There was actually a big water ball in your hand, hanging in the air, like it was made by special effects."

Jiang Li's chopsticks pinched the noodles in one go: "...Really?!"

"But how could such a thing happen in reality, haha." Lin Chengrui laughed twice, lowered his head and ate noodles, and said vaguely: "This dream is like real. If I hadn't opened my eyes and found myself lying on the bed, I would have almost thought that this world was a fantasy."

Jiang Li lowered his head and picked up the fried egg, slowly putting it into his mouth: "Yes, what a strange dream."

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of

relief. He was used to being alone. Since he started learning magic, he often used magic to solve trivial matters during this period. He almost forgot that there was an extra person in the house today. Today, Lin Chengrui caught him using magic, and Jiang Li was shocked.

But fortunately, it was regarded as a dream.

The two of them finished their breakfast quickly. Lin Chengrui took the empty bowl and put it in the sink. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll wash it."

Jiang Li said, "No, I'll do it."

"I'm going to stay at your place for a few more days. Just consider it as my accommodation fee." He blocked Jiang Li's attempt to stop him and pushed him out with his backhand: "You look down on me. I'm going to break your bowl just by washing two bowls?"

"Besides, it's about time for your supermarket to open?"

Seeing that he insisted, Jiang Li didn't stop him. There was no need to be so polite with friends. Looking at the time, it was about the time for him to open a store in the other world, so he just went downstairs.

After he left, Lin Chengrui turned on the faucet.

Faucet: gurgle gurgle gurgle——

Faucet: drip.

A drop of water fell into the bowl, and then there was no more.

"Jiang Li?" Lin Chengrui turned the switch on and off, and asked loudly: "Is there no water in your house?"

"Oh, yes." Jiang Li remembered this: "The water is out today, you can leave the bowl there, I will wash it later."

"Okay."

Lin Chengrui turned off the switch, turned around and went downstairs. He caught a glimpse of the empty pot on the stove, and his steps suddenly stopped.

Wait?

There was no water today, how did Jiang Li cook noodles?

The strange dream in the morning suddenly appeared in his mind.

Lin Chengrui: "..."

He paused, and continued to walk forward without changing his expression.

There is a supermarket downstairs, maybe they use mineral water, which is not strange.

After going downstairs, Jiang Li had already opened the door of the supermarket and was counting the goods on the shelves, counting the remaining inventory, and restocking the empty shelves. This should have been done last night, but because a customer suddenly visited, it was left until now.

Lin Chengrui stood aside and watched him busy like a hardworking ant. There was not much to do in the small supermarket, but it was also trivial for one person to be busy. He watched for a while and went over to help Jiang Li.

"Is this all you do every day?"

"Pretty much." Jiang Li arranged the instant noodles on the shelf neatly and restocked the sausages. This kind of repetitive work that didn't require much brainpower was very stress-relieving. "When customers come, they will choose the products themselves, and I will occasionally recommend them. I just need to collect the cash."

"It doesn't sound stressful."

"It's good."

Lin Chengrui glanced at him, his eyes falling on his still thick hair and slender and upright figure. He lowered his head and saw his slightly fat belly. He raised his head and saw his slightly receding hairline in the reflection of the shelf. He couldn't help but feel a little envious.

As a second-generation rich man with a family with a mine, he had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child. After graduation, he was eager to make a career for himself. With his family as a backer, he started off well. But starting a business is not that easy. This time he said he was on a business trip, but in fact the partner he had originally agreed to work with suddenly changed his mind. He went to negotiate in person but failed. With the breakdown of the cooperation, his career was also on the verge of collapse.

Lin Chengrui felt sad.

The supermarket had already received customers before the shelves were fully stocked.

There was no one behind the cash register, so Granny Chen poked her head in and asked, "Is anyone there?" Jiang Liyang

replied, "Yes."

He was about to put down his box and walk over, but Lin Chengrui got there first. He was eager to try, "Let me do it, let me experience what it's like to run a supermarket."

He strode out.

Granny Chen was here to buy salt.

She skillfully found the salt she wanted to buy from under the shelf. Seeing that there was a new person behind the cashier, she was a little puzzled: "Who are you?"

Lin Chengrui said with a smile: "I am Jiang Li's friend, I came to visit him."

"It's rare to see his supermarket open in the morning, I was surprised." Grandma Chen said with a smile: "It turns out that a friend came to visit."

Lin Chengrui was slightly stunned: "His supermarket is not open in the morning?"

"That's right, I've said it many times, how can business be done like this? As a result, not only is he closed in the morning, sometimes he is not here in the afternoon."

"Where did he go?"

"I don't know about that."

Lin Chengrui glanced at the shelf. Jiang Li went to the warehouse to get the goods and did not hear the conversation here. He then asked: "Does he go out often?"

"No, Xiao Jiang rarely goes out and always stays alone."

"He doesn't go out and the supermarket is closed. What does he usually do?"

"I don't know."

As Grandma Chen spoke, she took out a five-yuan note from her pocket. She was old and didn't know how to use the popular mobile phone payment. She used cash. There were many elderly people like her in the neighborhood, and the supermarket drawers were always stocked with cash for change.

Lin Chengrui opened the drawer and was about to give her the change, but he was stunned when he lowered his head.

He saw that in the huge drawer, a large part of the space was occupied by various coins, but these coins were not the coins he was familiar with, but unfamiliar gold and silver coins, sparkling and dazzling, making him dizzy for a while, and he almost thought he was dreaming.

Close your eyes, open them.

Looking down again, the gold coins were lying in the pile of coins, emitting a golden glow quietly.

Lin Chengrui: "..."

Lin Chengrui slammed the drawer shut.

Grandma Chen was shocked: "What's wrong?"

"... Grandma, I don't have any change." He handed the banknotes back with a wooden face: "This bag of salt is for you."

"Oh, how can I be so embarrassed?"

Lin Chengrui casually scanned the QR code on the cashier and paid for the salt. After Grandma Chen left, he sat behind the cashier for a long time. He

secretly opened the drawer to take a look... No matter how many times he looked, there were strange gold and silver inside!

Which supermarket would put this at the cashier? !

Moreover, where did all these things come from? !

Could his worries come true?

When Jiang Li came back, he noticed that his roommate was looking at him with a hesitant look.

He was confused: "What's wrong?"

"..." Lin Chengrui slowly looked away: "Nothing."

This dream was so long.

...

In the afternoon, Lin Chengrui sat on the terrace of the Jiang family's small building, lost in thought over the notebook in his hand.

He just found it.

No matter how carefully you hide it, you can't guard against deliberate searching. When he became suspicious, he soon found many suspicious things in the Jiang family's small building - exotic clothes, unique decorations, a backpack with a terrifying capacity... and the notebook in his hand.

Jiang Li usually lives alone, so he is not so particular. Sometimes, he would put used things where he can easily get to them. Suddenly, a guest came. He cleaned up overnight and put all the books and notes related to magic in the room, but Lin Chengrui still found one that slipped through the net.

He opened the notes and found the handwriting inside was very familiar to him, but the content made him confused.

What magic, what elements, he recognized them all separately, but they were particularly strange when put together.

Unexpectedly, he thought of the scene he saw in the morning.

Yes, he saw it. After a day of various things, the notes in his hand made him more certain that he was not dreaming, and he really saw a water ball coming out of Jiang Li's hand.

We are all about the same age, who hasn't read a few fantasy novels or cartoons?

After his imagination was opened, everything became reasonable, whether it was Jiang Li's strange behavior or the things that shouldn't appear in this house.

Although it is outrageous, it seems to be true.

If it is true, it is too outrageous.

Lin Chengrui took a slow breath and exhaled longly.

He came all the way here just to confirm the safety of his friend. Since Jiang Li is still fine, he is relieved...

...Relaxed at all!

Magic and the like, it sounds very dangerous! Jiang Li, is this really okay? !

While Lin Chengrui was complaining in his heart, he put the notebook back to its original position and covered it with a few things to make it more concealed.

He went back downstairs and saw Jiang Li tidying up the warehouse with his back to him, so he didn't notice his arrival.

Looking at the boxes at Jiang Li's feet that looked heavy, he was about to go over to help, when he saw Jiang Li lightly raise his hand, and the boxes on the ground suddenly flew up on the spot and moved to the side and stacked up.

Jiang Li turned his back to him and directed his hands skillfully. The boxes flew around in the air and found a suitable place for themselves.

Lin Chengrui: "..."

Lin Chengrui: "..."

He closed his eyes tightly, raised his feet, and slowly retreated back to the spot.

After retreating to the stairs, he called out, "Jiang Li?"

"What?"

"Where is your medicine box?" Lin Chengrui covered his stomach and asked numbly, "I need stomach medicine."

Jiang Li walked out of the warehouse and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"Nothing." I'm just a little stressed. "I'll just take some medicine."

"The medicine is in the upstairs cabinet."

Lin Chengrui returned to the second floor and opened the cabinet as he said. It didn't take him much effort to find the medicine box. He

took out the stomach medicine and swallowed it with water. When he put the medicine box back, he caught a glimpse of two strange things from the corner of his eye.

If Jiang Li was here, he would remember that this was the magic potion he had bought at Morton's Pharmacy.

But that was a few months ago. As he had no use for it, he put it in the cabinet after buying it and never thought about it again. The magic potion looks nothing special. They are packed in the same bottle, only the color is different. In order to prevent himself from forgetting, Jiang Li put labels on the outside of the potion bottles to distinguish them.

At this moment, there are two bottles in front of Lin Chengrui -

"Hair Growth Potions" and "Slimming Potions".
