"By the way, I eat too little, and it's hard for Aunt Zhang to cook. There will always be leftovers after every meal, and it's not good to waste food every time."
Since Qin Xin said so, Jian Yi really didn't want to refuse.
The landlady's cat-like appetite made it difficult to cook. There were always leftovers at every meal, and she didn't want to refuse.
"I'm not picky about food. I eat whatever Miss Qin eats."
Qin Xin didn't hear any movement in the room, and Jian Yi didn't leave the room. She thought that the other party was a little inconvenienced and didn't investigate further.
"Okay then."
Qin Xin felt that Jian Yi was not a particular person, but she was a big eater, so of course she was not picky about food.
Qin Xin was about to leave when he suddenly heard a noise from inside, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's okay. I accidentally tripped over the table and fell." Jane Yi explained and asked Niu Anan to speak more quietly.
Niu Anan looked apologetic and lowered his voice: "I'm used to it. Be gentler next time."
"Be careful." Qin Xin was about to go back to the room, but suddenly stopped. He recalled Jian Yi's small stature in his mind. The sound of her falling shouldn't be that kind of sound, right?
It's not like people are directly thrown to the ground. Most people will subconsciously control their balance and protect their key parts when falling to avoid getting hurt.
Qin Xin walked back to the room, looked at the clean and smooth wooden floor, and did something she would never have thought she would do before today: she fell to the ground. She pretended to trip over the table and then fell.
Qin Xin heard the sound of someone falling and fell into deep thought. The sound coming from Jian Yi's room just now was not the sound of a person falling on a wooden board at all.
Is that little monster lying?
Qin Xin got up from the ground. The floor wasn't dirty, so she decided to wash it anyway. She stood at the sink, washing it, staring at the mirror, pursing her lips in silence.
What is the little monster doing in the house?
She was very curious about what could make such a loud noise. Oh, right, could the amount of food in the sacks yesterday make that kind of noise?
Qin Xin's eyes lit up. Yes, that's possible.
She remembered that the window in the room was very large and close to the main door. Would the other party transport the food in from that place?
The little monster's appetite is so huge, which is obviously abnormal among humans, so it's understandable that he's so cautious.
Qin Xin came to the study. She hadn't used it yet today, and the morning sun would shine in, so the curtains were usually drawn. She didn't intend to open the curtains, but quietly walked to the window and looked down.
Jane Yi's room was located diagonally below the study. Normally, she wouldn't look down, but now it was different.
There was no movement for the time being, so Qin Xin was not anxious and quietly stood by the window. She found that her hearing had become much more sensitive, and she could vaguely hear some suppressed sounds coming from Jane Yi's room, but because the sound insulation of the house was not very good, she could not hear it clearly.
Since she could hear it, she guessed that the window was not closed, so she wanted to see what the little monster was doing.
Just then, Qin Xin heard footsteps and shrank back into the house, looking down without paying attention.
Knowing that Jane was a little monster and that she might be discovered if she stared at the other person intently, she took out a small mirror and placed it there.
Jane and a tall, strong girl appeared in the small mirror.
Qin Xin narrowed his eyes. The little monster actually brought people back secretly?
Could it be that the little monster liked girls? Was this tall girl her partner? Qin Xin frowned. The contract stated that she couldn't bring anyone back to live with her.
Not to mention the object, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, as long as it is a person, it is not allowed.
The little monster did not keep her word and she breached the contract.
If she didn't want to find out the secret about herself, she would go down and drive the little monster out.
Qin Xin saw from the mirror that Jian Yi and the tall girl were heading towards the gate, but she couldn't see the gate from her location.
She was not in a hurry. She covered herself with the curtains and continued to put the mirror on the window, waiting for Jane Yi to appear again. She believed that she would definitely appear again.
In just a minute, Jane and the tall girl appeared.
The reappearance of the two people almost made Qin Xin exclaim, because Jian Yi and Niu Anan were both carrying heavy objects.
Jane was carrying two large sacks, and the tall girl was quite formidable, perhaps four or five sacks tied together with ropes, all on her back. From the shape of the sacks, it was clear that the contents were definitely not cotton or something like that; they were still quite heavy.
What surprised Qin Xin was that the tall girl didn't feel heavy at all and even trotted over. Perhaps because Jian Yi had instructed her, she ran very carefully, as if she was afraid of making too much noise and waking someone.
Qin Xin's expression kept changing, so not only was her tenant a little monster, but her tenant's friend was also a monster.
So, what kind of monsters are they?
"Sister Yi Yi, you just need to make one more trip." Niu Anan's low voice reached Qin Xin's ears. It was obvious that the other party was deliberately lowering his voice, probably because he was afraid that she would find out.
Qin Xin sneered across the curtains. Doesn’t she know everything?
That little monster who sneaked into the human world has all kinds of loopholes. I really don’t know how she lived so smoothly in the past. How come she wasn’t discovered and sliced into pieces?
Thinking that she herself might be a monster, Qin Xin immediately stopped laughing and began to worry about her identity. After all, she was a native human, and her family tree was there, but she had never heard anyone say that anyone in her family was a monster.
So what is going on?
It seemed like she hadn't been home for a long time, and she didn't even have the slightest intention of going back.
Qin Xin suddenly felt confused. She had a happy family, but she moved to this place to live alone, and she had no intention of going back for such a long time.
Qin Xin walked back to the room, took out his cell phone and called his family.
The person who answered the phone was her aunt, who asked her to wait. After about a minute, a very gentle voice came from the other end: "Xiao Xin?"
"It's me, Mom." Qin Xin's tone is softer when facing her relatives, but that's just her personality. No matter how soft she is, she will never act like a spoiled child in front of her parents like some girls do. She is not that kind of person and can't do that.
"Why did you think of calling? Did something unhappy happen to you?"
Qin Xin denied: "No, I just suddenly thought of you and called you. By the way, Mom, I'll come over to see you this weekend."
"Come see us this weekend?"
"Yeah, what's the matter? Does Mom have any arrangements?" Qin Xin had an indescribable feeling. In her memory, her mother should love her and care about her very much. Why didn't she feel the love from her mother when she heard the apparently gentle voice on the phone?
Qin Xin recalled his past memories and quickly threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind.
She's been acting a bit strange lately. How could she question her mother's love for her? Moving out was her choice, not her family's suggestion. And before she moved out, her family was very much against it.
"No plans, but I didn't expect Xiaoxin to miss home. This is your home. If you want to come back, don't even think about the weekend. You can come back now." He Huilan's voice was still so gentle. "Are you coming back today? I'll ask the driver to pick you up. Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Qin Xin really felt that something was wrong with her. Her mother was still the same mother in her memory, with no difference at all.
Maybe what happened last night put some pressure on her mind, which led to all kinds of illusions.
"Let's go on the weekend. I have to work on the design draft recently and don't have time." Qin Xin didn't want to go back so much at this moment, but since she said she would go back on the weekend, she would still prepare for it.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Xin sat in front of her computer and opened her photo album, which contained photos of her from childhood to adulthood. It can be seen from the photos that she has a very happy family, but her personality is relatively independent and a little cold, so she doesn't express her emotions too much.
But her parents are very patient with her and care about her psychology. No matter what she does, they will respect her.
She moved here for several reasons, wanting some quiet, a nice environment that would inspire inspiration. As for going home, she was too busy to do anything, so she might have neglected it.
So, she really has to go home to see her parents this weekend.
Besides, Jane was in a very good mood looking at the room full of food.
"Sister Yi Yi, I'll be leaving first. If you need anything, just place your order. I know the way now, so it'll be very convenient for you to have it delivered."
"Okay, An An, thank you very much. After I collect the prize, I will come over with the prize money and have a good meal."
Niu Anan shuddered when she thought of Jian Yi's appetite. "Then I have to go back and place an order. I'm afraid my stock won't be enough for Sister Yi Yi."
She circled around Jian Yi twice: "Sister Yi Yi, how come you are still so thin even though you eat so much? I grew so strong just by eating grass."
"Are you like some humans, with a poor digestive system? Your body can't absorb nutrients? So, is Sister Yiyi's bloodline actually a defect?"
Jane Yi: "..."
"Did you secretly go through nine years of compulsory education?"
Niu Anan shook his head: "No, I'm not very smart, so I can do some physical work. Nine years of compulsory education is too difficult."
"Then how do you know so much?"
"I heard it from Qi Ye. Qi Ye is different from me. She not only received nine years of compulsory education, but also received more education. She is now a professor. Qi Ye is so educated and knows so much. I even heard her talk about a poor digestive system." Niu Anan's face was full of admiration. "Unfortunately, I also have a blood defect and a dull brain. I can't compare to Qi Ye's intelligence and ability to learn everything quickly. As for me, I can only carry bricks."
Jian Yi stood on tiptoe and patted Niu Anan on the shoulder. "Everyone has their own expertise. I think you're really good at moving bricks. Others can only carry two sacks at most, but you can carry anything that can be piled up. You're really good."
"That's right." Niu Anan regained his confidence after being praised. "My parents also said that I have unlimited potential. When I grow up, my strength can increase dozens of times."
After saying goodbye to Niu Anan, Jian Yi happily sorted out her food and placed them one by one in the house.
After finishing the sorting, she counted on her fingers the day to receive the bonus, and she felt so happy.
That night, Jian Yi was browsing the business group chat, watching people discussing the roadblock. The group leader even mentioned her. At everyone's request, she filmed a short video and showed it to the group, receiving a lot of compliments.
Before they knew it, it was getting dark, and Qin Xin in the room was trying hard to keep from falling asleep.
However, the moment it got dark, she fell asleep.
When she was able to open her eyes again, she was indeed outside, right below the window of Jane's room.
