Chapter 154 Are You All Here for Dinner?
Qi Xiao was wearing a dark blue denim short-sleeved shirt with three buttons open at the collar and a silver chain dangling from his collarbone, looking very handsome.
Seeing Ning Zexi standing with Xu Ying,
Ning Zexi narrowed his eyes. Could this person be here to eat for free? A big boss with a thousand acres of ranch coming to a small shelter to eat for free, how outrageous!
Ning Zexi was about to speak sarcastically when he saw Qi Xiao say to Xu Ying, "Master Xu, this is the insulation device sent by Feng Yun and his wife's biotechnology company. Two experts will be coming with a construction team to install it shortly."
"Okay, I get it. Thank you for your hard work!"
Xu Ying's eyes suddenly became bright. That was great. With the insulation device, she wouldn't have to move the seedlings around all day and pay careful attention to insulation and cooling measures.
It turned out that he was here to deliver goods. Ning Zexi was just about to breathe a sigh of relief. He was about to say goodbye before Xu Ying politely asked Qi Xiao "Have you had lunch?"
But he never expected that when he was about to speak, the fox cub in the house heard the news and crawled out of the rescue station using all four limbs.
[Wow, the daddy is here!]
[It's been a long time since you came to see us!]
Fox Sibao, who usually wasn't very active in exercise, was almost the fastest runner at this moment: "I want to drink fresh goat milk~~~"
Fox Sansan, who loves looking at handsome guys (except Ning Zexi), was unwilling to fall behind. He flapped his little paws in the air to help him jump, and then jumped onto Qi Xiao with great skill.
Qi Xiao felt like he had developed muscle memory for handling these little fox cubs, and he immediately filled his arms with them.
The fox cubs think that the milk and meat that Qi Xiao brings are the freshest and taste the best, and they especially like their "nanny" Qi Xiao who comes to feed them.
Xu Ying certainly understood what the fox cubs were mumbling, and helplessly held his forehead: "Hey! Be a little more reserved, you bunch of foodies!"
"We are here to deliver goods, not to give you food."
"You're like the reincarnation of starving ghosts, making it seem like I've been torturing you!"
When Qi Xiao heard Xu Ying's words of "I'm so disappointed in you", he pursed his lips and smiled, then finally dragged down a lot of bags from the passenger seat.
"I am indeed here to deliver food."
He remembered that he hadn't delivered fresh milk and meat to the fox cubs for almost half a month. He had promised Fox Sansan and the others at the rescue station headquarters last time that he would visit them often when he had time.
Who can bear to break their promise to such a cute furry creature?
It just so happened that Feng Yun and his wife were going to deliver insulation equipment to Xu Ying recently. After Qi Xiao learned that Xu Ying had left the headquarters with the fox cubs and that she was on vacation today, he chose this time to deliver the equipment and also brought some fresh beef and mutton for Xu Ying to make lunch.
But unexpectedly, there were guests at Xu Ying's rescue station.
[Daddy, there are lots of delicious dishes today!]
Hu Sibao grabbed Qi Xiao's trouser leg and pulled him into the shelter.
The cheetahs and vultures also came out of the rescue station. They also recognized Qi Xiao. When they were hanging around the rescue station, the meat sent by Qi Xiao's ranch often fell into their mouths. Sometimes Qi Xiao sent the meat from the ranch, and sometimes it was sent by the staff.
Therefore, they were very excited to see their "breadwinners". The cheetah used its head to push Qi Xiao, wanting to push him into the rescue station.
[Come on, handsome guy, come and have lunch, there are so many dishes~]
[Webmaster Xu, what are you still doing? Why don't you invite that handsome guy to dinner?]
Usually they are fed by Qi Xiao, and now they think that there are many delicious dishes in the rescue station, so they ask Qi Xiao to go over and try them.
Ning Zexi was almost furious when he saw the little fox who didn't want to be kissed on the cheek climb onto Qi Xiao and kiss him. Even the most arrogant fox boss put on a soft and cute face in front of Qi Xiao.
It’s great to have a ranch at home!
Seeing a group of large animals enthusiastically and proactively trying to pull Qi Xiao into the rescue station for a meal, Ning Zexi was so angry that his hair almost stood up.
Xu Ying heard that all the animals, big and small, were enthusiastically inviting Qi Xiao in, while Ning Zexi had a resentful look in her eyes like a shrew. She was really in a dilemma!
However, just when she was in a dilemma, the sound of a car engine came from the distance.
An off-road vehicle with a special license plate drove to the rescue station.
The driver's door opened and Chen Su got out of the car with a sports bag in his hand.
He was wearing his casual clothes today as it was his day off. The beige turtleneck sweater made his shoulders stand out, and the color neutralized his usual coldness. The black trousers outlined his slender legs.
Ning Zexi and Qi Xiao turned their eyes to Chen Su at the same time. What was he here for?
Chen Su was quite surprised to see how busy the rescue station was.
Ning Zexi knew that Chen Su knew the time when Xu Ying invited him to dinner, so he was not polite at this time and taunted him on the microphone: "Captain Chen, why did you come here at dinner time?"
"You're not invited."
Chen Su's expression remained calm. "I've already eaten. I'm here to give Xu Ying the equipment to learn grappling techniques."
Ning Zexi:?
Why are there more excuses than one another!
Xu Ying's temples throbbed when he saw this scene. It was impossible for these four people to just stand outside the door and chat in the sun. "Thank you all for your hard work!"
"Go sit in the shelter and eat something, or the food will get cold."
Ning Zexi said sarcastically, "There doesn't seem to be enough food for four people!"
Qi Xiao glanced at him and nodded in agreement: "I brought fresh beef and mutton, just in time to give everyone some food."
"I'll cook for everyone to taste my cooking skills."
Chen Su glanced at the truck in front of the aid station, then rolled up his sweater sleeves and said, "I'm a pretty good cook, so why don't I do it?"
"Boss Qi, you've come all this way to deliver the goods. You should take a rest and drink more hot water."
When Xu Ying heard these words coming out of Chen Su's mouth in a serious tone, he almost burst out laughing.
Ning Zexi looked at the two people arguing with each other and hated himself for being a cooking black hole. His cooking skills were not good enough and he was not even qualified to participate in the competition. He gritted his teeth.
Half an hour later, Ning Zexi bit the beef ribs hard.
Although I don’t want to admit it, the dishes cooked by Qi Xiao and Chen Su are both delicious.
Ning Zexi, who was in a good mood, convinced himself that this was a case of the snipe and the clam fighting, where the fisherman benefits. After all, his original intention of coming to the rescue station was to eat.
The dining table happened to be a square table. Xu Ying felt the strange atmosphere between the four people and silently ate the food in the bowl. These four people could play mahjong together.
Don’t let her face such a Shura field again next time!
The dinner ended with Ning Zexi washing the dishes and clearing the table, and Qi Xiao and Chen Su put their things away and left, and everyone went home.
After seeing off the three giant Buddhas, Xu Ying collapsed on the sofa, silently praying in his heart that such an embarrassing situation would never happen again.

One morning two days later.
The scorching sun was scorching the Gobi Desert. Xu Ying squatted beside a weathered rock, carefully changing the dressing of an injured serval.
Her aid station uniform was soaked with sweat and stuck to her back, but she didn't slack off in her focused movements.
"Hold on a little longer, little one," she whispered to the serval, her fingers deftly undoing the old bandages. The serval whimpered but didn't struggle, understanding that this human was helping it. She was Sheriff Black Cat's friend and someone she could trust.
Suddenly, a rapid flapping sound was heard in the distance. Xu Ying looked up and saw a group of familiar black shadows flying towards her rapidly.
Xu Ying narrowed his eyes. It was his old friend Vulture who came.
But today their flying posture was obviously wrong. Unlike the usual majestic and proud gliding, they were flapping their wings rapidly and making sharp calls.
