You Are a Sweetness I Can’t Quit - Chapter 55

He was looking inside the fried chicken place when he was chased by the big yellow dog.

His dad never let him have any of these foods. He never even smelt them. He was told these were junk food.

He doesn’t believe it. These foods looked so delicious, would having some be so bad?

Qin Morui had more longing in his eyes than ever. He couldn’t help but think of that pretty auntie at the airport. She had bought him fried chicken.

If only that auntie was his mom, then he could have fried chicken every day…

“Gooloo — ” Another sound. He swallowed more drool.

His eyes looked at Shen Yixian with such desperation, the older man felt more sympathetic than ever.

He couldn’t let the kid be hungry. He headed out to buy fried chicken for the boy, but Lin Ci came out of the kitchen to stop him. “Where are you going?’

“Getting fried chicken for Ruirui.”

“Don’t!” Lin Ci tugged on Shen Yixian, moving away a few steps. She lowered her voice. “It’s not that I don’t want to spend money. Look at this kid, his clothes, his looks… you can tell he’s from a rich family. Rich people have more rules. Would they let their kids have fried food?”

“…”

“Besides, it’s not good for kids to eat too much fried stuff anyway. Spicy hot pot and fermented tofu aren’t great for them either. I’ll make him some scallion and egg crepes, and do some noodles with eggs.”

Shen Yixian understood and nodded. “You’re right. I’ll listen to you. I’ll go make the crepes, you make the noodles.”

After finishing their discussion and getting ready to explain to the kids, they saw the kids had both disappeared from the dining table.

They looked toward the fried chicken place across the way.

“And this, and this…”

Ji Xingyao had taken the boy there and was ordering fried chicken for him. She pointed this way and that, ordering a bunch of food.

The older couple was shocked.

Was this their granddaughter? The little miser had changed? When did she become this generous?

Shen Yixian and Lin Ci were so stunned they forgot to stop her, nor did they hear what Little Bun was saying. As the girl was paying, she mumbled, “my grandparents are good people. But their money is hard-earned. If you want fried chicken, you have to pay for it yourself, okay?”

“…”

“Since you have no money now, I’ll lend some to you, without interest. Considering how you carried me back earlier, I’ll treat you to a scallion and egg crepe.” Little Bun said as she picked up two bags of fried chicken and returned to the snack shop with Lin Morui.

Seeing her stunned grandparents at the entrance, she smiled and said, “Grandpa and grandma, little bro wanted to have a scallion and egg crepe.”

“Hm… no, Yaoyao, you can’t have this fried chicken…” Lin Ci recovered from her shock first. She wanted to stop them but was blocked by Shen Yixian.

“C’mon, they already bought it. Let them eat. The chicken place uses good cooking oil. Once in a while should be okay. It’s so good seeing the kids so happy. Yaoyao never plays with kids her age. Never mind having her pay.”

Shen Yixian blinked at Lin Ci. Seeing the kids had already started eating the fried chicken, Lin Ci gave up.

She went into the kitchen to make the scallion and egg crepe, then made a bowl of noodles with eggs.

The dining table was soon covered with delicious foods.

Qin Morui couldn’t care less about how he looked. He had a fried drumstick in his left hand and a scallion and egg crepe in his right hand as he ate in earnest.
