Chapter 115 Have the nerve to complain
Just as Lin Li was about to leave, Ling Xiao grabbed her.
A pair of moist eyes looked over, looking so pitiful, like an abandoned puppy.
Ling Xiao said in his heart: [I’m really not hungry…]
But he didn't dare say it out loud.
He was afraid that Lin Li would scold him again.
Lin Li wanted to scold him, but seeing him like this...
The pale, bloodless face, the chin that seemed to have been specially sharpened by the Creator, the skinny facial features that were the size of a palm, and the eyes that were full of decadence and fatigue...
Even so, considering that he was now weak, helpless and obviously timid, Lin Li couldn't bear to scold him anymore.
Lin Li touched Ling Xiao's head and coaxed him gently: "Wait until I cook the food, and you can have a taste first. If you want to eat it, continue eating. If you don't want to eat it, I won't force you. Okay? Just one bite will do..."
Ling Xiao finally felt relieved and nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Now that he had relaxed, his mental state improved a little.
You have to know that when Lin Li first came in, he looked like he would never wake up again once he closed his eyes.
Lin Li was thinking, Tan Weiwei definitely didn't truly love Ling Xiao as described in the books, otherwise, why didn't she ever feel sorry for him and instead always complained about him when he was in a coma for more than two years?
Now Ling Xiao finally woke up. His skinny body, with only a layer of skin covering his skeleton, looked like a dry branch in winter. Looking at him made people worry all the time, afraid that he would suddenly break himself when trying to get up, or accidentally fall down and be smashed to pieces.
But Tan Weiwei still had the heart to say such vicious words. How is this different from being an enemy?
Thinking of this, Lin Li took the handkerchief again and gently wiped the tears from Ling Xiao's face, and then wiped the corners of his eyes.
"Let me help you lie down for a while," Lin Li said, "in case you get tired from sitting."
Ling Xiao shook his head: "If I get tired, I'll call you. I'd better sit for a while..."
I thought to myself: "If you want to keep busy for me, then I can't continue to be lazy no matter what I say. I have to insist on sitting down for a while and moving around..."
"Okay." Lin Li pulled the quilt over, folded it, and placed it behind Ling Xiao for him to lean on.
Unfortunately, Su Zhen said that he could get out of bed by himself before, but now he is so hungry and weak that he can't even sit up.
Su Zhen from the outer room rushed over and said, "Comrade Lin Li, you are really capable. Ling Xiao has been lying there like a wooden stake for the past three days, ignoring me. When I wanted to help him sit up for a while, he wouldn't let me touch him... and even threatened me..."
"You asked for it... and you still have the nerve to complain here..." Lin Li glanced over.
"I..." Su Zhen wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Is there a kitchen here?" Lin Li asked.
"Yes, yes, yes," Su Zhen said in a long-winded manner, "Actually, Lao Ning and I can't cook, so there's no need for a kitchen. But when I booked the private room, I wanted one with a private bathroom downstairs so that I could protect Ling Xiao's privacy. And the private rooms with private bathrooms actually have kitchens upstairs. I thought that I would not use the kitchen when I checked out, which was really a loss. Now it's good, with you here, it's not a loss..."
Lin Li patiently waited for him to finish his rambling and asked, "Have you had dinner?"
Su Zhen shook his head: "No. I had a chance to eat at your house, but I ended up arguing with Zhou Qiang and didn't get to eat a single bite. It's so annoying."
"Then..." Lin Li thought.
Su Zhen immediately smiled happily: "Lili, I'm back from buying vegetables, buy some more..."
Lin Li said, "Okay. Buy it back... You will be responsible for washing and selecting the vegetables, and then I will teach you how to cook them, and you will be able to learn it successfully. After you learn it, don't forget me as your master..."
Su Zhen's smile froze on his face immediately: "You want me to do it? And you are only responsible for moving your mouth?"
Lin Lu looked over in surprise and said, "No, I'm making dumpling soup for Ling Xiao, so I'll make more. After he finishes eating, if there's any leftover, I'll ask my brother if he wants to eat some. If there's any leftover after my brother finishes, then it's all yours..."
Su Zhen almost couldn't breathe. Is he destined to just eat leftovers?
Lin Li observed the layout of the room and found the kitchen. She walked in without hesitation.
Su Zhen followed in from behind, angrily saying, "Since you don't cook for me, I won't buy food either. I want to see what you can use to make dumpling soup for your Ling Xiao..."
Lin Li said, "Then I'll take him to live in the new house. There's a small vegetable garden at the door, where we can pick some fresh vegetables. As for oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, I'll borrow some from Sister Liu."
Su Zhen was surprised: "You have already bought that house?"
Then he asked gossipingly, "Did you buy it under your name or Ling Xiao's?"
Lin Li looked at him as if he were an idiot: "I've told you my plan before. You're so young, but you're already suffering from Alzheimer's? You can't even remember such an important thing?"
"Lin Li! Does your tongue itch if you don't curse someone for a minute? How can a girl speak so viciously?"
Lin Li was at a loss: "Did I curse at anyone? I was just asking you a question. If you don't want to answer, then don't answer. How can you accuse me of cursing?"
"I..." Su Zhen wanted to vomit blood again.
But he also knew that it was useless to continue arguing with Lin Li, and it would only cause more trouble.
So he changed the subject in a frustrated manner: "Let's wait until Ling Xiao has eaten before moving him. Otherwise, he is so weak now that even if we use a stretcher to carry him, it will consume his little remaining energy..."
Then he leaned forward and whispered, "You must be sad, right?"
"Get lost..." Lin Li wanted to hit someone.
Su Zhen negotiated: "I'll go buy vegetables, meat and flour. If you don't want to bother making other dishes, why don't you make some more dumpling soup? I can have some too. Lao Ning hasn't had dinner yet, so let's leave some for him after we finish eating... He's a big eater... He can really starve to death after just one meal..."
Usually, Su Zhen would get meals from the Agricultural Science Academy and deliver them to Ling Xiao, but this afternoon, Su Zhen was really worried because Ling Xiao still refused to eat or drink, so he did not go to work.
So he and Lao Ning didn't get to have dinner.
"Okay." Lin Li stretched out his hand, "Two yuan for service fee..."
Su Zhen rolled his eyes, then shouted at Ling Xiao in the inner room: "Ling Xiao, look at your wife, she only cares about money... She doesn't show any mercy at all..."
After saying that, he took out two five-yuan RMB bills from his pocket and slapped them directly into Lin Li's hand with a chutzpah.
But seeing that Lin Li's hands were so small, with her palms white and rosy without even a thin silk screen, he didn't slap hard. He just pretended to use force with a loud thunder but little rain, and let go of the strength the moment he slapped.
Ling Xiao in the inner room decided to play dead and didn't respond a word.
Su Zhen was so angry that he shouted again: "You really value women over friendship! If I cheated your wife of her money, would you pretend to be deaf and dumb?"
Ling Xiao finally responded lifelessly: "If you think you can't do it, then you can't do it..."
"I..." Su Zhen turned around in anger.
Su Zhen was at a loss for words, so he said to Lin Li viciously: "Since you and Ling Xiao are in collusion, I will give you ten yuan. After making this meal, you still owe me four meals, I will keep a record for you..."
Lin Li curled his lips and said, "I thought you were generous, but I didn't expect you to be so stingy."
Su Zhen pretended to rob him of his money again, and Lin Li quickly put the money into the inside pocket of his coat.
He even used his eyes to show off to Su Zhen, which meant, if you have the guts, just come over and rob it...
No matter how carefree Su Zhen was, he didn't dare to put his hand into a girl's pocket, let alone the pocket was in his arms.
"I'm going to buy some meat and vegetables," Su Zhen walked out, "You'll also be in charge of cooking tomorrow morning."
Su Zhen went out, and Lin Hua wanted to go in to see Ling Xiao. Just after he took a few steps, Lin Li said from behind him: "Second brother, don't lose your temper with him, and don't force him to eat or drink water, he's in a bad mood..."
Lin Hua turned around and looked at Lin Li for a long time...
Then he got angry and said, "Then I won't go in..."
If he went in and saw Ling Xiao almost dying but still refusing to eat, how could he not be angry?
When they are angry, they have to quarrel. When they quarrel... the girl feels sorry for Ling Xiao. He won't be bothered if he doesn't see it.
