Chapter 661 - 665: Great Kind Person (6)

Chapter 661: Chapter 665: Great Kind Person (6)

Separated by the door, without straining my ears, I could clearly hear the noises outside.

Even before Cong Shan had returned, my room’s door had been knocked upon several times.

It’s just that each time, Su Li would deter people with a cold face before they even opened their mouths.

She’s not their mother or father, why should she care whether they have meat to eat?

Quickly, following the sound of the doorknob turning, Cong Shan’s gentle voice came through.

"Xiao Li, I’m back."

The Cong Shan that appeared before Su Li’s eyes looked pitiful and not in great shape.

He looked like he’d been fished out from the water, with his face and the skin of his arms that were exposed, all sunburnt red and peeling.

If it had been the original owner, she would have rushed up with concern, not caring whether he’d found work.

But Su Li wasn’t like that. Hearing the noise, she listlessly glanced up and asked, "How did it go, how was the job search?"

Cong Shan’s lips moved a few times. The words he intended to say suddenly got stuck in his throat.

He forced a feeble smile, and then with a look of dejection, he said pitifully, "Eh, I didn’t find anything..."

After waiting a while, he didn’t hear any words of comfort from his girlfriend, so he had to muster his own voice, sounding full of life as he encouraged, "But I think, if I didn’t find anything today, maybe I will tomorrow."

"Oh," Su Li responded nonchalantly, her eyes fixed on the rice cooker.

She opened the rice cooker and served the soft and delicious meat that had been stewed inside.

Just a small bowlful, then she started eating by herself.

As soon as the door was opened, an even more fragrant aroma drifted out, making the expectant neighbor next door unable to restrain himself from swallowing his saliva incessantly.

God, that smell was even better than what they sniffed outside the restaurant.

One of the anxious ones couldn’t help coughing a few times, then loudly said, "Hey, I’m so hungry."

Seeing his girlfriend’s actions, Cong Shan was full of surprise and froze for a moment before snapping back to reality.

Mainly because he was used to his girlfriend always letting him eat first whenever they had anything good.

Then he would split the food in half, and they would eat it together, filled with a sense of happiness.

It was so even with a tub of instant noodles.

But this time, Cong Shan was filled with utter astonishment.

Why hadn’t Xiao Li even asked him once if he wanted some?

Su Li could see the bewilderment in his eyes that he had not voiced.

She curled her lip and elegantly sped up her meat-eating pace.

Ask him if he wanted to eat?

Ha, she feared he would give away this bowl of meat directly, and in the end, she would be left with just a sip of meat broth.

This was something Cong Shan had done plenty of times to the original owner before.

Look, those group of eyes outside the door, shining like wolves’, were already fixed on the meat in her hands.

Hearing the outside noise, Cong Shan remembered what he had promised earlier.

However, looking again, the once full small bowl of meat was nearly empty.

Cong Shan immediately panicked, stepping forward and hastily saying, "Xiao Li, leave... leave a bit for the people outside..."

Su Li tilted her head, then in front of Cong Shan, she picked up the last oily piece of meat from the bowl and popped it into her mouth.

Chewing a few times, she swallowed it.

After wiping her mouth, she finally asked peculiarly, "Why, why should I leave any for the people outside?"

"Am I their father or their mother? Should I worry if they have any meat to eat..."

"However... if they call me ’mom,’ I’ll stew meat for them tomorrow."

"Kids can’t go hungry because of our problems."

Cong Shan: "....."

The eavesdroppers outside: "....."

Cong Shan, struggling to speak, couldn’t come up with a word to retort, his face turning red with frustration.

"Xiao, Xiao Li.... What has gotten into you today?"

Su Li raised an eyebrow and looked over, "What do you mean?"

"I just ate some meat, why are you making such a big drama out of it?"

One of the hot-tempered ones outside couldn’t stand it any longer, rolled up their sleeves, and charged to the doorway of Su Li’s room, with a fierce expression like they were ready to throw punches.

Cong Shan, who was closer to the door, was startled and quickly put on a smile, apologizing profusely, "I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, I’ll buy more meat tomorrow to treat you all."

Su Li retorted without holding back, "Where would you get the money to buy meat right now?"

"If you still had money, wouldn’t it be better to pay back the debt you owe my mother first?"

Cong Shan’s entire face turned as red as a liver, angry and annoyed, and also embarrassed at being put down in front of so many people by his girlfriend.

Those outside indeed were all cowards who bullied the weak and feared the strong; seeing this couple usually so mild-tempered, they would take a mile when given an inch.

Now that Su Li just gave them a cold look, the men who were swaggering about just a moment ago, sheepishly backed off a few steps and were pulled into their own room by their girlfriends.

"Forget it, forget it, I’m not eating."

"Living under the same roof, and yet so petty, not even willing to share some meat.... Geez, people these days..."

Cong Shan, already mortified, was now close to tears from anger.

Of course, not because of those people outside, but because of Su Li?

Watching Cong Shan’s annoyed and embarrassed demeanor, Su Li couldn’t help but laugh mischievously.

Hehe, can’t handle this much? Your heart is too fragile.

But, after she toughens him up a bit, he should be harder, right?

Mourn for Cong Shan; the Demon King had set his sights on him.

And the Great Kind Person, the big shot, was now just a little wretch about to be oppressed.

Seeing Cong Shan’s huffy face, Su Li didn’t care, let alone take the initiative to seek peace.

You’re spoiled....

She used the last bit of meat soup left in the rice cooker to cook some noodles, then gobbled it down alone.

She didn’t leave a single drop of soup for Cong Shan.

In this house, except for the smell of meat that filled the air, there wasn’t a grain of food left.

The last bucket of instant noodles was shared and finished by the original owner and Cong Shan the day before.

Cong Shan was feeling tired, hungry, and wronged, then helplessly watched his girlfriend satisfyingly burp.

Burp~

Are you a demon, to do something so cruel?

With lips pursed, Cong Shan kept sneakily glancing at Su Li, who didn’t seem to bother to ask after his well-being for a long time.

He had to swallow his emotions before sincerely saying to Su Li, "Xiao Li, you can’t do this again in the future."

"What? I can’t use my things to curry favor with others, and that’s not right?"

Cong Shan: "..." Damn, can’t we have a decent conversation without directly hitting where it hurts?

Su Li, without any mercy, burst out, "We’re broke, if it weren’t for your generosity before, we wouldn’t have come to this point."

Dissatisfied, Cong Shan muttered under his breath, "We’re broke, yet you still ate meat today."

Su Li almost laughed out of irritation at his words.
