Chapter 886: Meeting You, I Am Back to Life 13
Shen Qi lowered his head and sorted out the scattered receipts and straws.
The sun was shining brightly at noon, and the air outside was as scorching as if it had just been taken out of an oven. Fortunately, there was air conditioning in the milk tea shop, so Shen Qi didn't feel too hot even in his school uniform.
With a ding, the store's welcome message sounded.
Shen Qi looked up when he heard the voice, but his eyes were stunned for a moment when he saw Ling Yao walking in.
Lingyao is wearing the clothes she bought in the store yesterday.
She wore a white lapel polka dot short-sleeved shirt with two black bow ribbons hanging down on her chest, black floral shorts on the lower body, and a pair of classic leather shoes on her feet.
Her long hair was tied into a loose braid and fell on one shoulder. Her facial features were already delicate, and they had obviously become a lot whiter recently.
At that station, there was no trace of Shen Qi, the embarrassed look when they first met.
Shen Qi didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Lingyao seemed to have grown taller than before.
This was certainly not Shen Qi's illusion. During this time, Lingyao had been in the bracelet space, so when she felt tired, she would eat some natural fruits from the space, and when she felt thirsty, she would drink some well water.
Not only her, Shen Qi also ate some of the food she brought out from the space. During this period of time, he grew a lot taller. The yellowness on his face disappeared, and his skin color became cold and white. It's just that he didn't notice the changes in himself.
Shen Qi was very surprised and amazed when he saw Lingyao.
"Why are you here? How did you know I was here?"
As he spoke, he came out from the cashier counter and took Lingyao to sit at a table nearby.
When Lingyao saw that Shen Qi didn't come back at noon today, she guessed that he must have gone out to work a part-time job. According to his personality, she asked someone to check the shops near his school and soon found out that he was here.
But Lingyao would not tell the truth.
"A chance encounter."
"An unexpected encounter?" Shen Qi was skeptical about what Ling Yao said, but now apart from believing her statement, he couldn't seem to think of any other possibilities.
Lingyao nodded confidently and looked at him again: "Have you had lunch?"
Shen Qi shook his head: "Other employees go eat first, I'll go eat later."
Lingyao knew that the kid didn't eat lunch, so she looked at the clothes and shoes she bought for him yesterday, and when she got up today, she found that none of them were missing!
They were even neatly folded and the shoe boxes were wiped clean and placed in the cupboard like luxury items.
Lingyao advised herself that the child was used to being poor and suffering, and then handed the bag in her hand to Shen Qi.
"You need to have regular meal times, otherwise you'll easily get stomach problems."
After delivering the things, Lingyao turned around and walked out. Xiao Guan and his car were just outside the door. She still had things to do today.
Shen Qi held the bag in his hand and looked at Lingyao's back as she walked out of the store. He felt as if his heart had melted into the cheese cap in the milk tea, soft and fluffy.
No one has ever brought him food since he was a child.
He opened the bag and found a packaged tomato and beef brisket rice with bottles of milk.
The labels on the bags and boxes looked familiar. She had ordered takeout from this restaurant over the past two days.
Shen Qi was halfway through his meal when the two employees who had gone out to eat came back.
When they entered the room, they saw Shen Qi sitting there eating. They thought Shen Qi had ordered takeout. Since they had nothing to do at the moment, they walked over to see what was happening and chatted.
"What is this? We are tired of the takeout nearby, it's expensive and tastes terrible... Shit"
The employee who was walking near Shen Qi and looking at him outside was stunned: "Little brother, have you made a fortune?"
Shen Qi didn't quite understand: "Hmm?"
The employee looked at the delicious beef and rice left in his bowl, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva even though he had just eaten.
"If you weren't rich, why would you order takeout from this restaurant? Doesn't this restaurant charge three figures for any meal? It's more than your daily salary. Why are you still working in debt?"
Shen Qi thought that since the takeaway from this restaurant was so good in both packaging and taste, it should not be cheap, but he never expected it to be so expensive.
Is this rice inlaid with gold?
He didn't know how to answer the employee who asked the question for a moment, so he had to pretend that he had food in his mouth and couldn't speak.
Fortunately, a group of customers soon came to the store. Shen Qi quickly put down his chopsticks and went to the front desk, and the other two also got busy.
……
Lingyao was going to go with Xiao Guan today to complete the adoption procedures, but when they arrived at the police station, they were stopped by Officer Li with a stern look on their face.
In the office, Officer Li's expression was more serious than any other time before. She poured a glass of water for Lingyao and Xiao Guan respectively.
After staring at Lingyao for a long while, he sighed and said, "We have found out something about your background. This may affect whether Mr. Xiao really decides to adopt you, so we have to inform the adopter in advance."
Lingyao looked calm and signaled Officer Li with her eyes, while Xiao Guan was even calmer. There was nothing he could do as his wallet was a little fatter recently and he was a little overwhelmed.
Seeing that both of them were so calm, Officer Li felt relieved. He just hoped that they could remain calm after listening to what she was going to say next.
"We found out that your original name should be Su Lingyao. You were born with a rare disease. There are only a handful of cases in China, and even fewer people can live to the age of 18. Most of them die at the age of 11 or 12... Because of this, your parents couldn't afford the huge and hopeless medical expenses, so they abandoned you. After that, you were rescued and sent to the Changzhou City Orphanage, but unfortunately you got lost..."
Officer Li said this in a serious tone, and Xiao Guan, who had just looked relaxed, lowered his eyes.
Officer Li observed the expressions of the two men. She naturally knew that the truth of the matter was too cruel for Lingyao, an eight-year-old child, but no matter how cruel the truth was, it had to be faced.
Especially when the two are about to confirm their adoption relationship.
If Xiao Guan discovered Lingyao's illness in the future, there is a high possibility that misfortune would happen to this little girl again.
Lingyao also fell silent for a while, but her silence was not because she could not accept this fact, but because she was asking about Fugui.
"Why didn't the information I saw earlier say that the original owner was sick?"
Bao Fu smiled flatteringly: "Haha, because the original owner died before the disease broke out..., so there is no extra ink to describe the original owner's symptoms."
"So it can be cured?"
"Haha, host baby, you have the food and water in this space bracelet, so you won't get sick for the time being." Bao Fu said halfway and changed his mind quickly.
"But the host baby must go abroad to see Dr. Joss for two years of closed treatment before he turns fifteen. After all, each plane has its own operating order. I found such a mechanism for the host, which can perfectly avoid the expulsion of outsiders by the plane."
He probably knew that he would be scolded after he said that, so he slipped away as soon as he finished speaking and logged off.
Lingyao: ...
.........
.........
Get rich suddenly: Why the ellipsis of the host baby has become longer this time?
Lingyao laughed: I’ll beat you to death.
The rich escaped again.
