Chapter 320 Star Pendant
A woman with slightly curly hair was standing next to Achen.
She was wearing a long black dress, and her complexion was rosy, giving her the appearance of being full of vitality.
Ah Chen introduced with a smile: "Sister Meng, this is Qin Feng, Sister Feng."
Qin Feng nodded slightly to Meng Qingyin and extended his hand in a friendly manner, saying, "Hello, Miss Meng. I am Qin Feng."
Her voice is clear and gentle, like a spring breeze.
Meng Qingyin returned the handshake, "Hello, Miss Qin, I'm Meng Qingyin, welcome, welcome."
She ushered Qin Feng and A Chen into the car, just in time to run into Qing Feng, who had just gotten up.
Upon seeing Qin Feng, Qingfeng exclaimed with delight, "Feng, you're back? Why didn't you tell me beforehand!"
Qin Feng chuckled and joked, "Didn't I come here specifically to pay you a visit?"
Qingfeng stepped forward and hugged her: "Come on, you didn't come here just to see your old friend, did you?"
Qin Feng's almond-shaped eyes were full of seriousness: "Seeing you is the main thing, the others are just incidental."
Qingfeng chuckled, knowing she was joking, and patted her shoulder, saying, "Alright, alright, my master needs your help, so please take good care of him."
Qin Feng blinked, his eyelashes long and curled. "For your sake, I'll take it to heart too."
Qingfeng blew her a kiss, "I'll treat you to some delicious food another day!" Then he turned and walked towards the planting room.
"Qingfeng, aren't you going to eat with us?" Meng Qingyin called out to her.
Qingfeng hasn't eaten yet either.
Qingfeng turned around, smiled and said, "I'm not hungry now, Master, you guys eat."
Before Meng Qingyin could say anything more, Qingfeng quickly assured her, "If I get hungry, I'll come out and find something to eat. I definitely won't go hungry forever."
Meng Qingyin opened her mouth, but swallowed her words.
Ah Chen took out the strawberry cake, a twelve-inch cake covered with strawberries, and a sweet aroma wafted out.
Meng Qingyin stared in disbelief: "Achen, why did you buy such a big cake? The three of us will probably have to eat it for three days straight."
Although the little one has a big appetite, it prefers sour and spicy food, and it only takes a couple of bites of cake to taste it.
A twelve-inch cake is enough for more than a dozen people.
Ah Chen's eyes sparkled, blinking like stars in the night sky: "You can invite your best friends to eat together. Enjoying delicious food with your best friends is the happiest thing in the world, isn't it, Sister Feng?"
Qin Feng smiled and ruffled her hair. "Mmm."
Ah Chen added, "And that time you said you'd introduce me to someone who also likes strawberry cake, I really want to meet some new friends with similar tastes."
Since Ah Chen had said so, Meng Qingyin naturally wouldn't refuse.
And she did say she would introduce someone who loves strawberry cake to Ah Chen, but she never had the chance.
The opportunity is right in front of us, so why not take it?
She called out in the group chat to come and eat strawberry cake, and in no time, a whole bunch of people showed up.
Qin Jiu arrived the fastest, followed by the "Spiritual Grandpa" and Fei Qiu, the two were neck and neck.
Chen Leying arrived last.
Zhang Yan had already told Meng Qingyin that he was busy, so his absence was within Meng Qingyin's expectations.
The only thing missing was Lu Cheng, who loved strawberry cake.
Meng Qingyin sent him a private message: "Lu Cheng, come over to my place for some strawberry cake, don't you love it?"
Lu Cheng had actually seen Meng Qingyin's message just now.
He politely declined, saying, "You guys eat, I just finished eating."
He doesn't like strawberry cake.
But my younger sister, Xiaoxing, loves to eat it.
Every time they eat strawberry cake, Xiaoxing would put a spoonful into his mouth, squinting her eyes and saying happily, "Brother, just have a bite. Sharing delicious food with you is the happiest thing for me."
Although he really disliked the sweet taste, he would swallow it every time, patting Xiaoxing's head and saying, "Okay, I'll eat with Xiaoxing, then Xiaoxing will be the happiest child in the world."
The two siblings were orphans; their parents died in a car accident when they were fifteen.
At that time, he was in the third year of junior high school, and Xiaoxing was only one year old, an age when she was still unsteady on her feet.
Grandparents passed away early, and there were no other relatives on my mother's side of the family, so the brother and sister depended on each other for survival.
Life was tough, but he did everything he could to give Xiaoxing the best.
And so, through all the ups and downs, they raised Xiaoxing to be eleven years old, watching her grow from a babbling toddler into a lovely and clever girl.
He's had terrible luck since he was a child; you could say he's immune to luck. He can never guess the right answer on a test, and he always encounters red lights when he goes out.
His only stroke of luck was when his mother was pregnant; he was certain it would be a girl, and it turned out to be a girl when she was born.
The newborn baby had wrinkled skin and looked ugly, but he thought his little sister was the most beautiful newborn in the world.
Xiao Xing, on the other hand, is the complete opposite of him; he's an incredibly lucky kid.
As long as he walks with Xiaoxing, he always encounters green lights.
Once, three-year-old Xiaoxing suddenly pulled him to a lottery station, randomly said a string of numbers, and told him to buy lottery tickets.
He couldn't bear to disappoint Xiaoxing, so he bought a ticket according to the string of numbers.
I can't believe I actually won!
Although it wasn't the grand prize, they still received 20,000 yuan, enough for the siblings to live on for a long time.
The day of the lottery draw happened to be Xiaoxing's birthday, so he took Xiaoxing to a cake shop and bought her a four-inch strawberry cake.
That was the first time Xiaoxing ate strawberry cake. She didn't eat any herself, but scooped a spoonful for him first.
With tears in his eyes, he ate the spoonful of strawberry cake. "Xiaoxing, your brother doesn't like it. You eat it."
Little Xing ate with great satisfaction, her eyes squinting. "Brother, when Little Xing grows up, I'll earn money to buy you your favorite cakes, lots and lots of them!"
Later, he would buy Xiaoxing a strawberry cake every year for her birthday.
He originally thought that life would continue in this peaceful way, that he would raise Xiaoxing to adulthood, watch her get married and have children—or that she would choose not to get married, as long as it was a lifestyle that Xiaoxing liked, he would support her.
But unexpectedly, their peaceful days were shattered by a car accident.
It was a Friday, and he went to work to earn money as usual. Before he left in the morning, Xiaoxing told him that she would give him a gift when he came home in the evening. It was a birthday gift that she had saved up her usual pocket money to buy for him. That day was his birthday.
But when he got home that night, he was met with a neighbor who looked anxious: "Xiao Xing was in a car accident. I can't reach you because you don't have a phone. Lu Cheng, you need to go to the First Hospital right away!"
His mind went blank, and he turned around and ran to the hospital.
When he arrived at the hospital, Xiaoxing had already passed away.
After his parents were killed in a car accident, Xiaoxing also left him.
When Xiaoxing was wheeled out of the operating room, she was clutching a star pendant tightly in her hand.
That was a birthday present that Xiaoxing bought for him.
"Brother, I want to give you a gift. It carries my blessings and will drive away all your bad luck! You must always wear it with you."
