Chapter 45: Eating too much can kill you

This is all Lin Guzhi and Du Bin talked about regarding Xia Qing.

Then the two of them ate the skewers and reminisced about the past. It was then that they realized that it was not just Duan Xinyi. When they talked about other people and things, they felt as if they were in another world.

"There are four of us in the dormitory. Han Guanghua got married last year. He didn't get through on the phone when he wanted to notify you, so he came to ask me. When he learned that you were missing, he was very sad for a while. When Li Yan and I went to attend Han Guanghua's wedding, we drank heavily. Han Guanghua almost missed his wedding the next day.

"You didn't see the scene. Those two idiots were crying their eyes out. I never saw them like that when I was in school."

"I heard that Duan Xinyi is still single. I wonder if she still has feelings for you. Hehe, what do you think her reaction would be if she knew you came back with a daughter?"

"You haven't seen our instructor since then. I don't know how he got bald. He has no hair on his head. He looks like a monk named Sha."

"You're finally back. I'll talk to Lao Han and Lao Li and see if we can find some time to get together. But it probably won't be easy. After graduation, we're all scattered all over the world, some are married and some are working. How can it be easy to get together? Sigh..."

Du Bin finished all the roasted lamb kidneys by himself while talking here and there. He also ate a lot of leeks and roasted garlic. Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi's porridge came up, and Lin Guzhi had already drunk half a bowl.

While Du Bin and Lin Guzhi were talking, Xiao Xi was eating and drinking seriously. The little guy knew how to control his food intake, so he ate some mutton skewers and a small steamed bun with butter, and then stopped eating and focused on the porridge in front of him.

Seeing that the dinner was almost ready, Lin Guzhi called the waiter and ordered something for Xia Qing.

Du Bin waited for Lin Guzhi to finish ordering, then suddenly said, "To be honest, I really think Xia Qing is pretty good. Why don't you give it a try?"

Lin Guzhi waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop messing around with couples."

Xia Qing was indeed very good, kind, enthusiastic, beautiful, compassionate, and very kind to Xiaoxi. But Lin Guzhi knew very well that if he really wanted to give it a try, the resistance he would face would be very great.

From the clues revealed in the conversation between He Dubin and Xia Qing, he already knew that Xia Qing's family background was not that simple, and that Xia Qing's family had very strict requirements on Xia Qing.

How could I, who lost both my parents at an early age and was unmarried with a daughter, be favored by Xia Qing's family? If I really wanted to be with Xia Qing, I would have to spend a lot of effort to deal with Xia Qing's family.

Lin Guzhi was not afraid of these things, but just felt that it was troublesome. Therefore, keeping a distance before any feelings arose was the best choice.

Du Bin sighed and said, "You are afraid of the rope after being bitten once. Duan Xinyi kicked you, and the impact it had on you was so great?"

Lin Guzhi said: "Do you have anything else to say besides talking nonsense? If not, just go away first. I will give Xia Qing something later."

"Okay, okay, no more nonsense."

Du Bin begged for mercy and asked again, "I also want to ask you, how is the work going?"

Lin Guzhi replied, "It's OK. The person who interviewed me was the manager of your mother's best friend's company. He showed me the monitoring room of the Golden Leaf Building and asked me to sit in the fast food restaurant for a while and chat. But he needs to think about it for a while and said he will give me a definite answer in two days."

Du Bin said, "What are you still thinking about? You've already broken your chopsticks and moths, is there any security guard better than you? I'll call my mom and talk to her about it."

Lin Guzhi held down Du Bin's hand as he was about to take the phone: "Hurry up and leave. They have made it very clear, let them consider it. We can't force the relationship, right?
"People say that being a security captain in a shopping mall requires more than just good physical skills and strength. You also need to be good at communication and have the ability to handle emergencies. This morning, someone asked me to go to a fast food restaurant and sit down to chat for a while, just to test my communication skills. What they said makes sense, and we can't force it."

Dubin had no choice but to give up: "Okay, whatever you say is what it is. I'll call you again if it's not appropriate later."

Lin Guzhi nodded and said with a smile: "But you still have to be rich. Running a shopping mall is a small company. It really doesn't leave a way for us poor people to survive."

Du Bin said helplessly, "Here you go again, huh? You used to mock me every day in college, saying 'You rich people, you rich people', and now you're doing it again."

Recalling the past, they both laughed again.

After that, Du Bin paid the bill and left first. Lin Guzhi waited for the barbecue stall to prepare the food he ordered for Xia Qing, then walked back, holding the food in one hand and holding Xiaoxi's hand in the other.

Take the elevator upstairs, get out, and use the key to open the door.

The moment he opened the door, Lin Guzhi immediately noticed Xia Qing, who was half immersed in the sun and half hidden in the shadow.

"Xiao Lin, what's wrong with my sister?"

Xiaoxi also noticed that something was wrong with Xia Qing and asked Lin Guzhi.

Lin Guzhi said: "I don't know, maybe he's hungry?"

Xiaoxi quickly took the food from Lin Guzhi, walked to the coffee table and put it down. She pushed Xia Qing's leg with her little hand and called, "Sister."

"Ah——" Xia Qing came back to her senses and was shocked to see Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi.

Lin Guzhi turned around and closed the door, then asked Xia Qing, "What are you thinking about?"

Xia Qing blushed for no apparent reason and said, "No... I'm thinking about my song. You have to think about it bit by bit when writing a song. I'll go back to my bedroom and continue thinking."

Then he stood up and went to his bedroom.

I don't know what this woman is thinking about again.

Lin Guzhi put the food he brought for Xia Qing on the coffee table and said, "Eat while it's hot. I told you I would bring you lunch before I left. Did you forget?"

"Ah... oh."

Xia Qing hurriedly turned back, sat on the sofa, opened the boxes of skewers and porridge, and started eating without even looking at Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi.

Not only Lin Guzhi could see that she was full of worries, but Xiaoxi could also see it.

The girl moved a small stool, sat opposite Xia Qing, and watched Xia Qing eat quietly.

Xia Qing felt a little scared when he was stared at. He picked up a skewer of mutton and handed it to Xiaoxi, saying, "Here, you eat some too."

Xiaoxi patted her belly and said, "I don't want to eat anymore. I'm full."

She was actually only half full. In the apocalypse, eating too much is extremely dangerous. This girl learned to control her diet at a young age, so her belly didn't look bloated.

Xia Qing glanced at Xiaoxi's stomach and said, "How can it be full? It's not even bulging."

Xiaoxi shook her head and said, "Don't eat too much, it will kill you."

Xia Qing felt ashamed of herself for a moment.

Yes, eating too much will make you fat! How come this little girl understands this, but I can't do it? !
I can’t even beat a child. I might as well die!

She forced a smile at Xiaoxi and said, "Xiaoxi is great. You even know this." Then she went back to eating.

But the skewers are so delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and very fragrant. The spices mixed with cumin go with the barbecue, and the flavors are rich and layered. One bite gives you a full sense of happiness!
The stinky uncle bought so much, he will definitely be full after eating it!

But all the food in front of me looks so delicious... I really want to eat it all!

Xia Qing gritted her teeth.

With Sister Yang watching over me, I haven’t eaten skewers for a long time.

What's the point of controlling it? It's not like I have to spend this meal.

I will just eat this meal, and then control myself later.

After convincing herself, Xia Qing immediately felt relaxed and continued to show off her grilled skewers.

She was so focused on showing off that she seemed to have forgotten all her previous random thoughts. All the unpleasantness was completely dispelled by the happiness brought by the skewers.

Xiaoxi sat opposite her and watched her, and she could face it normally.

With the barbecue on bamboo sticks, she forgot all her worries.

But as I ate, the skewers in the disposable lunch box became fewer and fewer, while the bare bamboo sticks became more and more, and my troubled thoughts suddenly came back again.

Sadness rushed over her like a raging sea, drowning her. It seemed that all the relaxation before was just for the backlash of emotions at this moment.

She gradually slowed down her eating speed. After a long while, she put down the bamboo stick with a few pieces of mutton hanging on it and said, "Uncle..."

Lin Guzhi looked at Xia Qing.

Xia Qing pursed her lips and was silent for a while before she mustered up the courage and said, "Let's get the certificate!"
