”Brother Chen Yang!” His face was flushed red as she smiled. Her eyes were curved like crescent moons.

She was carrying a thermos and was still wearing her clothes. She was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, so it was already time for work. I asked, ”Why aren't you changing? Why are you late?”

Shen Di shook her head and gave me the thermos in her hand. She then pulled out a paper towel wrapped soup spoon from her backpack: ”Brother Chen Yang. This is the chicken soup I made for you.

Looking at the spoon that was handed over by her tender fingers, I suddenly understood. ”You came late to stew chicken soup for me?”

”This is my first time making soup. I learned it from a recipe, so I slowed down a bit.”

She lowered her head, her eyelashes fluttering. Suddenly, she raised her smooth, baby like face with the unique shyness of a girl. ”Aiya, quickly try it. Let's see if it tastes good.”

Seeing her expectant look, I nodded and took the spoon from her. I opened the thermos and took a sip.

”Is it good to drink?” She was like a child waiting for adults to praise her.

I smacked my lips and said smilingly, ”Delicious, really delicious.”

Shen Di was as happy as a child: ”If you like it, I'll stew it for you tomorrow. I borrowed a few recipes from the library, and there are a lot of ways to cook soup.”

Looking at her like this, my heart was burning.

”Then you definitely have to spend money to buy the materials. I'll give you the money.” I know she's usually very frugal with her money.

Shen Di quickly waved her hands and shook her head like a rattle drum, ”I don't want to. Brother Chen Yang, you can't earn that much in a month. And don't you have all the money you need? ”Last time, when you didn't join them for dinner, they all said that you didn't belong to any group. Actually, I know that you were reluctant to spend that money.”

Everyone at the place knew I was stingy and didn't want to spend money, but every month's salary was gone in a blink of an eye.

That is because they did not know that I had used all my money to find Lin Xiao Rou.

It costs money to advertise, to ask around, to print newspapers, and to go to a taxi radio station.
