Chapter 170 Treat
"Please wait a moment."
When Yun Shuhuai was about to close the door, other voices came from outside the door.
Everyone looked over and saw that it was Xi Ling who walked over with a box in his hand.
"Hello." Xi Ling saw the two people at the door and nodded as a greeting. They had lived in the base together for a year, and even if they had not spoken much, they knew each other.
"Hello, Chief Xi."
Lu Jingyu did not expect to see this person here. Although Ye Ren was next door, in his impression, Ye Ren never had too much contact with other forces. He also heard that Yun Shuhuai was Xi Ling's savior, but it seemed that their relationship was better than he imagined.
"Hello... hello." Su Moxi's face immediately turned red when she saw Xi Ling, and she could hardly take her eyes off him.
Xi Ling was not only the strongest man in the base, but he was also exceptionally handsome.
Because Xi Ling always looked like he didn't want to be approached by strangers, Su Moxi had only seen him from a distance, and had no chance to see him so closely.
Lu Jingyu was recognized as a handsome guy, but when he stood next to Xi Ling, he was immediately outshined.
"Why are you here?" Yun Shuhuai asked.
"I came to give you this." After saying hello, Xi Ling ignored the two men and handed over the box in his hand.
Yun Shuhuai opened it and saw four big red apples.
"Wow! This must be hard to come by." She picked one up and put it under her nose to smell. The taste seemed to be better than ordinary apples.
"Like you like it, this is the fruit of a third-level mutant apple tree we found outside. When we were picking the fruit, we found that its branches would hit people, so we had to cut it down. At first, no one dared to eat this fruit, but after experimenting, we found that it tasted good, so I brought it to you to try."
"Thank you." Yun Shuhuai said in surprise. It turned out to be a mutant apple. She had never eaten mutant fruit in this life. Usually, she only ate fruits in the space and did not spend the effort to find mutant fruit trees. I heard that mutant fruit trees are hard to come by. Just one ordinary fruit is worth a lot of money, not to mention mutant fruits of this quality.
"This is too expensive. I'll treat you to a meal later. When they were helping us move things at noon, I saw that your team members couldn't forget our Ah Qing's meal." Yun Shuhuai didn't wait for Xi Ling to refuse and continued, "It's decided." There
was no point in refusing again. Xi Ling smiled and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it too."
Lu Jingyu and Su Moxi were like two light bulbs. It was the first time they saw Xi Ling's face still showing a gentle expression.
The relationship between these two people didn't seem simple.
Su Moxi was so jealous. Damn it, why did Yun Shuhuai get special treatment from Xi Ling?
Lu Jingyu said awkwardly, "Well, we'll take our leave
now." "Huh? You're still here? I won't see you off, bye." Yun Shuhuai waved to them in a friendly manner, holding two boxes in one hand.
"Chief Xi, Chief Yun, goodbye."
After saying that, Lu Jingyu held Su Moxi's hand and turned to leave.
But when Su Moxi was being held by Lu Jingyu, she looked back frequently, as if waiting for Xi Ling to keep her, but the man only talked to Yun Shuhuai and didn't even look at her.
After they drove away, Xi Ling asked, "What are they here for?"
"To return the crystal core." Yun Shuhuai told Xi Ling roughly what happened at noon.
"So this is what was being talked about in the base this afternoon." Xi Ling looked at the direction where Lu Jingyu was going away and said, "I knew Qin Ye would do this, but I didn't expect that Lu Jingyu would actually collude with him to do such a thing."
"Why? Is he a good person?"
"I don't know. I haven't met him many times. He has just been developing steadily in the base and has not done anything out of the ordinary. At least he is much better than Qin Ye."
"If you compare him with Qin Ye, then not all people in the base are good people."
"I generally don't deal with other forces, so I don't know much about them."
"By the way, didn't you bring back a first-level mutant plant? Is it still there? When we parted that day, we also saw the remains of the plant. Xiaoxu seemed very interested in it."
"Sorry, I've handed it over. Those people said they want to check the documents carefully."
"Is that so? That can't be helped." Yun Shuhuai said, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"
"No, I'm just here to deliver something. I have things to do later, so I won't bother you anymore."
"Okay, see you later."
"Bye."
At dinner time, Xi Qing stewed a big pot of mutant meat and made several extra dishes. Yun Shuhuai took out some buns, dumplings, and food products that would not easily arouse suspicion from the space, and then asked Ye Zixu and Ye Ziwan to run next door to call Ye Ren's people to come over for dinner.
At first, these people didn't understand what to do after hearing Ye Zixu's intermittent words, and Ye Ziwan came forward to explain it to them.
As soon as they heard that the neighbors were inviting them to dinner, they all rushed over like flies.
Yun Shuhuai had just moved back a large dining table, but there were still not enough seats for so many people, and there weren't enough chairs.
But these people didn't care about anything and ate standing around the table.
"It's dumplings! It's dumplings!" A member of the Night Blade picked up a white and plump dumpling and put it under the light, tears flashing in his eyes, as devout as a believer.
"Wow, I haven't eaten dumplings since my mother died."
"Miss Yun is willing to use so many spices, it's really delicious."
"Hey, don't just eat dumplings, there are so many other dishes." Yun Shuhuai, wearing an apron, brought another plate of dishes and said.
Looking at the sumptuous table, these people had never thought that Yun Shuhuai's invitation to dinner would be such luxurious dishes. Just a plate of dumplings could win everyone's hearts.
"Ms. Yun, thank you so much. You treated us to such a sumptuous meal just because we helped you move something. How much of your supplies will we have to eat with so many people?"
"It's nothing. We can just go out after eating. Besides, this is not free for you to eat. Your boss just sent us some apples. They tasted good. I was very happy to eat them. This is a return gift."
After hearing this, those people suddenly started to make a noise, "Oh oh oh oh oh -, so it's for the sake of the boss."
Xi Ling put down his chopsticks, coughed lightly, and smiled at them: "Eat quickly, and leave quickly after eating, don't disturb others."
After saying that, he glared at Du Hao who was quietly eating in the corner.
Du Hao shuddered, and the dumpling he had finally picked up fell back into the bowl.
