Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

Page 177

Especially when she was gnawing on a big bone, she held it with both hands and gnawed on it for a long time. After she finished, Xue Shanshan's face was covered in grease.

Lin Yi was sitting right next to her as she gnawed on a big bone.

Lin Yi thought to himself, "Xue Shanshan really doesn't care about her image at all when it comes to food."

Seeing that Lin Yi wasn't moving, Xue Shanshan, with her mouth full of meat, mumbled and asked him, "Lin Yi, eat up, it's delicious."

Even though she had already eaten a lot of meat, Lin Yi still heard Xue Shanshan say those words.

"Okay, I'll eat right away," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Xue Shanshan has started her dry eating mode again.

Lin Yi originally thought that with eight dishes, at least three should be packed to go.

Who knew that by the end, only a few scraps were left?

Lin Yi was stunned by what he saw on the table and Xue Shanshan's chubby little face.

Lin Yi knew Xue Shanshan had a big appetite, and he had already expected that she would eat this much, but who knew she would eat this much.

Lin Yi glanced at Xue Shanshan, who looked a little embarrassed.

She just ate so much food, it smelled so good.

Lin Yi asked with a smile, "Are you full? If not, would you like some more?"

"I'm full, I'm full. We ordered too much food, I'm stuffed," Xue Shanshan quickly said.

Lin Yi laughed and said, "I thought you weren't going to hold up at all."

"I'm a little full, but with so much food, I can't just waste it, so I ate a bit more," Xue Shanshan said.

"You...are amazing!" Lin Yi gave her a thumbs up.

After dinner, Lin Yi took Xue Shanshan for a walk to help her digest.

But after walking for a while, Xue Shanshan couldn't take it anymore; she had eaten too much and felt bloated.

Once inside the supermarket, Lin Yi found a large shopping cart and said with a smile, "Shanshan, would you like to sit in the inner section and I'll push you around?"

"I'm so old, is it okay?" Xue Shanshan's eyes lit up.

“You know that? Of course not,” Lin Yi said.

"I...then why are you asking me?" Xue Shanshan said, feeling wronged.

"I was just teasing you because you couldn't walk anymore," Lin Yi said with a smile. "Hang in there a little longer, we'll buy some snacks and then head back."

"Okay." Xue Shanshan nodded.

Xue Shanshan was really happy when it came to buying snacks. She hadn't had any snacks for a long time since she came to Shanghai to look for a job after graduating.

She was so lucky today. Not only did she find a big house to live in, but someone also treated her to a meal and bought her snacks.

If this had happened a few days ago, Xue Shanshan would never have dared to imagine such a thing.

Besides, all she did was help Lin Yi get home, and Lin Yi thanked her so much.

Lin Yi seems like a warm and hospitable person.

Honestly, Xue Shanshan was a little embarrassed.

But Lin Yi always tempted her with snacks, making Xue Shanshan subconsciously follow in his footsteps.

Upon arriving at the snack section, Xue Shanshan was dazzled by the sheer variety of snacks on display, her beautiful eyes widening instantly.

“So many…” Xue Shanshan said.

"Don't think too much about it. Just take a little bit first. The supermarket is right next to my house. You can come back for more after you finish eating," Lin Yi said.

"Mmm," Xue Shanshan said through gritted teeth.

If it weren't for Lin Yi, she really wanted to bring all the snacks home and eat them while watching TV.

Xue Shanshan suddenly realized that her life was truly too happy.

With plenty of food and drink, is there a happier life than this?

No more.

Lin Yi bought two large bags of snacks.

Xue Shanshan immediately perked up and even offered to carry the bag.

And so, Lin Yi and Xue Shanshan, each carrying a large bag, headed home.

When he got home, Lin Yi put the snacks in the living room.

After Lin Yi changed his clothes and came out, he heard soft, rustling sounds coming from the living room.

When Lin Yi went outside, he saw Xue Shanshan secretly eating snacks.

It was one thing for her to eat snacks, but she also kept looking around to see if Lin Yi was there.

Lin Yi thought for a moment, "He should have been back for less than five minutes, right?"

Xue Shanshan has started eating again?

Lin Yi found it hard to believe that Xue Shanshan's stomach structure was different from that of ordinary people.

Who among the average person can eat seven or eight dishes, feel so full that they can't stand it, and then start eating snacks again half an hour later?

Even though it was meant for the two of them, Xue Shanshan ate most of it all by herself.

Who can do that?

But Xue Shanshan can.

Lin Yi was truly stunned when he saw this scene.

Xue Shanshan left a very deep impression on him.

Lin Yi coughed and walked over.

Xue Shanshan was watching TV and having a good time, so she didn't hear Lin Yi arrive.

Xue Shanshan was startled when Lin Yi sat down next to her.

"Lin Yi, when did you arrive? Why do you walk so quietly?" Xue Shanshan asked in surprise.

"It's not that I'm walking silently, it's that you're having too much fun watching TV, or that you're enjoying your snacks too much," Lin Yi said.

Xue Shanshan looked at Lin Yi, feeling a little embarrassed.

Lin Yi took away her snacks and said, "Shanshan, it's not that I don't want you to eat them, a few snacks don't cost much."

But as a friend, you can't eat too much at once.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to 10016 and you say 710." 55

Xue Shanshan quickly put down the snacks, looking obedient and well-behaved.

Lin Yi watched her actions, and saw her big eyes darting around, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Lin Yi asked, "How long have you been in Shanghai?"

"I studied at Shanghai University, so I've been in Shanghai for several years now. Now that I've graduated, I'm thinking about finding a job."

Who knew that so much time would pass, and I still hadn't thought about work, nor did I dare to tell my family.

"I ran out of money for food a couple of days ago, so I was being frugal and looking for a place to stay." Xue Shanshan's voice lowered as she spoke.

Lin Yi smiled, patted her shoulder, and said, "Don't worry about work. You can stay here with me for a while."

"My place may not be big, but it can shelter me from the wind and rain; and although the food isn't very plentiful, it's enough to satisfy my appetite," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Xue Shanshan quickly shook her head and said, "Who said this place isn't big? I'd work my whole life and still probably never be able to buy a house this big in Shanghai."

Honestly, I'm already very content to have a place to stay.

You even said the food wasn't good? Lin Yi, do you have some misunderstanding about what good food is?

Anyone who didn't know better would think you ate at five-star hotels every day.

Lin Yi smiled. Although he wasn't eating at a five-star hotel, the food he was eating was prepared by a retired head chef from a six-star hotel.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Alright, as long as you're satisfied."

"Yes, yes, I'm really satisfied." Xue Shanshan nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

Lin Yi said, "You watch TV first. I'm just going in and out. Don't wait for me. I have my keys."

If I come back, just open the door.

"Are you going out so late?" Xue Shanshan asked.

"Something came up." Lin Yi smiled and pinched Xue Shanshan's slightly chubby cheek.

Xue Shanshan blushed bright red at Lin Yi's actions.

He just... pinched her?

Seeing Xue Shanshan blush, Lin Yi quickly said, "I'm sorry, I saw your chubby little face and thought it was a little bit cute, so I couldn't help but pinch it. You're not angry, are you?"

"I……"

Xue Shanshan was about to get angry, but then she thought about how good Lin Yi was to her, and she couldn't bring herself to be angry.

Lin Yi actually said she was cute.

Is she cute?

Many people told her this when she was in school, and she never expected Lin Yi to say it too.

She must be really cute.

Xue Shanshan said, "I've remembered everything you said."

"Okay, if I come back late tomorrow, I'll buy myself something to eat. I don't want to go hungry. There are plenty of good places to eat around here," Lin Yi said, leaving behind a thousand yuan before departing.

Lin Yi left, but Xue Shanshan stared blankly at the thousand yuan on the table.

She was barely eating yesterday, and now she's all better all of a sudden?

Even if she went to a temple to burn incense, pray to Buddha, and make a wish, she wouldn't expect her wish to come true so quickly.

She wanted to find a job and a place to live where she could eat good food.
