A carton of milk may not be much to Qin Yi, but to Huang Ying and Little Rice Ball, it was the most precious thing ever.
“It’s alright.”
Qin Yi’s eyes were indifferent but Little Rice Ball wasn’t afraid at all. Instead, he felt that this big brother was very gentle.
“Come in and have a meal with us,” Qin Yi beckoned Huang Ying and Little Rice Ball.
Actually, she didn’t know why she was so nice to Huang Ying. In fact, she really couldn’t be said to be a good person, but perhaps this little girl’s eyes were too similar to those of her former self.
The same timidness, the same cowardice, but this little girl could see clearer than her. She could tell who was nice to her and who wasn’t as sincere.
Qin Yi, on the other hand, was a little blind in her previous life and couldn’t see people clearly.
Huang Ying smiled shyly, then followed Qin Yi inside. To be honest, she really missed Qin Yi’s cooking, as she had never eaten such delicious foods in her life.
Little Rice Ball appeared very polite. The moment he went into the house, he didn’t look around but obediently followed behind Huang Ying, a smile on his small face.
Qin Yi brought these two people to the living room, where Ze Ning was drinking from a carton of milk. When he saw that there were people here, his eyes spun, and he seemed very curious about Huang Ying and Little Rice Ball.
“This is my younger brother, Ze Ning. Ze Ning, this is Huang Ying and Little Rice Ball,” Qin Yi introduced both parties.
Ze Ning was a little shy, but still said hello in a small voice.
Huang Ying was shy too, but she sized Ze Ning up, thinking that this young man was very good-looking. Big brother was handsome too, but they were of different styles.
Qin Yi had to be in the kitchen, so she left a lot of snacks for the three fellas and went back.
These three little fellas were very sensible and not troublemakers at all, so Qin Yi wasn’t too worried about leaving the three of them alone.
When Feng Qingge and Wang Wenwen woke up, they realized that there were three little hamsters in the living room. Each of them was holding a bunch of snacks and gnawing on them as they looked at one another—it was really cute.
Before they could chat with them, Qin Yi came out with dishes in her hands, beckoning everyone over.
“Time to eat.”
Ze Ning and the other two people immediately put down the snacks in their hands, following behind Qin Yi very closely.
Feng Qingge and Wang Wenwen found it very amusing.
Qin Yi made a lot of delicious dishes today. There was Beijing sauce shredded meat, boiled meat slices, cabbage casserole, and so on. Everyone ate till their bellies were round.
What made Qin Yi happier still was that Ze Ning was able to consume cooked food, and he ate more than anyone. Qin Yi cooked a lot, but more than half of it was in his stomach; he was truly worthy of being called a glutton.
Little Rice Ball has never eaten such a delicious meal before. He and his sister only had steamed buns every single day, and having porridge was considered to be an upgrade.
After eating, Little Rice Ball’s big eyes shifted. He climbed down the chair and walked to Qin Yi. Extending his little hand and tugging at the corner of Qin Yi’s shirt, he pleaded, “Big brother, big brother, please let Little Rice Ball and sister follow you. Little Rice Ball will be obedient and Little Rice Ball will protect you when Little Rice Ball grows up!”
Little Rice Ball may be young and a little timid, but he was smarter than anyone else. After all, the apocalypse made him grow up very quickly.
With Qin Yi around, he knew that he and his sister wouldn’t have to worry about food or clothes, and they could become stronger too.
Huang Ying’s heart tensed up, afraid that Qin Yi would be mad, so she hurriedly scolded her brother, “Little Rice Ball, don’t talk nonsense!”
