QT: The Rescue Of The Miserable Bigshots
Chapter 128 - 5.20

Chapter 128: 5.20

Turning a corner, Yan Ling finally smelled the aroma of food.

Looking up, he saw a steamed bun shop right on the street. The prominent breakfast and steamed bun sandwiches

on the sign were still the same as those he knew.

Yan Ling touched his pocket, took out a few pearls, pinched the smallest one, and quickened his pace towards the shop.

"Boss, two steamed bun sandwiches and two bowls of tea. I want to take them away."

"Hey, okay..."

The boss who was busy raised his eyes casually, but when he saw the person standing in front of him, he was immediately stuck.

The person in front of him was so handsome that didn’t look like a mortal!

And the other person was wearing a dark blue suit, which looked very expensive at first glance.

Such a person would actually come to his little shop to eat?

Isn’t this the CEO of some company who lives in a villa and hires a cook, but also comes here to buy breakfast by himself?

"Okay, okay!"

The boss was surprised. When he came to his senses, his movements were unambiguous. He quickly gave Yan Ling sandwiches and tea, "Twenty-three in total! Apple Pay or a card?"

A trace of undetectable confusion flashed across Ling’s eyes.

Is it twenty-three coins or what?

Gold or silver?

Yan Ling’s confusion only flashed across his eyes quickly but was not clearly revealed. He still took the steamed buns and tea with one hand and handed over a pearl that he had prepared long ago with a calm expression, "I don’t have any money with me. Use this pearl to exchange for it."

The boss who wanted to scan the credit card or a phone: "..."

The boss stared at the pearl that seemed to be valuable at first glance, and was stuck for a long time, "Uh, this... You can’t give it away. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money! You can pay with a wallet app on your phone or a credit card in our store!"

Yan Ling: "..." Sorry, he doesn’t understand.

He placed the pearl firmly in front of the boss, "I only have this one with me."

The boss picked up the pearl with a stiff face, held it in his hand and looked at it. This... actually, it’s not just a matter of taking it as payment or not.

But, he really couldn’t tell whether it was fake or not!

He has a small business and doesn’t have interest in jewelry. He really doesn’t understand this.

If this is true, this snow-white pearl is so big, of course it is valuable, then if it is produced as an imitation...

The boss’s troubled eyes fell on Yan Ling’s handsome appearance, decent clothes, and the demeanor of his gestures. He felt that the other party was not a liar or scammer, so he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Let’s do it then!"

Even if it was fake, it wouldn’t cost him much!

When Jiang Jiamian opened his eyes, he felt as if his body no longer belonged to him.

He stared blankly at the ceiling above his head for a long time before moving his eyes slightly.

No physical pain.

It really doesn’t hurt.

But there is no other feeling.

He could no longer feel the existence of his body directly.

With slow thinking, numb body, and an empty room, Jiang Jiamian kept his eyes open for a long time without moving, before finally gathering his scattered consciousness back to reality.

He raised his arms and tried to sit up from the sofa.

However, with this movement, the numbness and weakness all over his body surged up like a tide. Jiang Jiamian’s waist ached, and then he collapsed back, subconsciously uttering a representative but not polite phrase, "Fuck!"

Furthermore, Jiang Jiamian looked around, where is Yan Ling?

Ah, where is he!

He was harmed like this, where did the culprit go?

Click, click.

At this moment, the sound of the door handle turning was heard.

The door didn’t open.

Jiang Jiamian frowned and was about to speak in a hoarse voice when there was a loud bang, and just like last night, the door was suddenly thrown against the wall, and a long leg of the other person stepped in gracefully.

Jiang Jiamian: "..."

Yan Ling when he came in this time, he closed the door behind him. Even though the sofa was not directly facing the door, half of it was still exposed.

"Are you awake? I came back with some breakfast. I don’t know if you like to eat it."

Yan Ling slowly approached Jiang Jiamian. When he was in front of him, he placed the breakfast on the coffee table and sat down beside him, then reached out to open the bag containing the bun sandwiches.

Jiang Jiamian didn’t feel anything was wrong at first. It wasn’t until Yan Ling brought a bun to his mouth that his thinking finally started to work. He was suddenly surprised, "No, what did you just say? You went out to buy it?"

How did this guy, who was almost half an ancient man, actually find the shop after leaving his house, and then bring something back?

And where did he get the money?

Seeing Jiang Jiamian’s obviously questioning eyes, Yan Ling sweated a little, "I just haven’t been ashore for a long time, and I don’t understand many of the current things of human beings. But I’m not a fool, can’t I even go out?"

Moreover, the mermaid’s learning ability, memory, and acceptance are all very strong.

Jiang Jiamian blinked his eyes, "Then where did you get the money?"

Yan Ling fed the steamed bun into his mouth. Seeing that he seemed to like eating it, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I don’t have any money."

"Pfft! Cough, cough!"

Jiang Jiamian almost choked on the bun that just entered his mouth. He looked at Yan Ling with wide eyes and said in shock, "Then you must have snatched these things, right!?"

"Of course not." Yan Ling hurriedly patted him on the back. It was a bit funny. Did he look like the kind of person who would even rob a simple breakfast? "I don’t have money, but the things I have on me, it will be enough to feed you for a while. I gave a pearl in exchange for this breakfast."

"Pearl?" A light flashed in Jiang Jiamian’s mind, "Were you crying?"

Yan Ling: "..."

Yan Ling looked surprised, "Why do you ask?"

He is a grown merman, why should he cry?

On the contrary, the other person shed a lot of tears last night.

Jiang Jiamian asked doubtfully, "Isn’t there a legend that mermaids can weave tears into pearls? I didn’t even see any pearls on you last night. Didn’t you just cry today?"

He could see clearly that Yan Ling had nothing but clothes before.

Really broke.

Yan Ling couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "It is indeed true what you said about weaving tears into pearls. But this pearl was already in my inventory. And I have a lot of it. I won’t support you by crying."

"Inventory? So I’m going to get rich?" Jiang Jiamian reached into his pocket curiously, but found nothing. "Where is it?

"You eat first."

Yan Ling put a bun sandwich into his hand, watched him take a bite, and ate it with relish before standing up and taking two steps back.
