Chapter 191: Li Ting
Xing Jiuan looked at the way the man was tidying up. It seemed to coincide with her previous life.
But in this life, his arm was fine.
There was no damage.
How nice.
Xing Jiuan thought this to herself.
No matter what the people outside wanted, even if it was dangerous to her, she would face the music.
She owed the man in front of her her life. He had let her avoid this calamity…
That was enough.
She had once lost many things overnight, and the person in front of her was once her pillar of support.
Even if Xing Jiuan had not lost anything now, this person still occupied an extremely important position in her heart.
Jiu Chi walked in. After he entered, he smiled and said, “It smells so good.”
“Come and try it,” the man called out.
“And this…”
“I brought this lady here,” Jiu Chi said.
“Are we sending her back later?”
Jiu Chi looked at Xing Jiuan.
Xing Jiuan remained silent.
The man gave her a bowl of noodles first. To her, the amount was just right.
The bowls were clearly about the same size, but the noodles in her bowl were very suitable for her appetite. Furthermore, Xing Jiuan did not eat onions. Even if there were tiny onions in the pot, Xing Jiuan’s bowl was still devoid of them.
“Try it and see if it tastes good. I’ll scoop more for you later,” the man said gently as he looked at Xing Jiuan.
Xing Jiuan nodded and waited for the two of them to sit down and eat.
Although Jiu Chi looked different from ordinary people, he appeared very young. He looked to be only 23 or 24 years old.
The man was not very old. He did not look like he was 35 or 36 years old.
However, as they sat there, the warm atmosphere gave off the feeling that he was a father eating with his children.
When he saw that Xing Jiuan had stopped eating after finishing her bowl of noodles, he wanted to scoop another bowl for her, but he was rejected.
“No, I’m already full.”
The man clearly wanted to say that she had eaten too little, but for some reason, he did not say it.
It was as if he knew that this was all she could eat.
It was strange and surprising.
Jiu Chi rarely spoke, and the man seemed to be used to it.
Yesterday, he had been brought back by Jiu Chi. The other party seemed to know that he was being hunted, but he did not say anything and only let him stay here.
Since he was already here, it didn’t matter where he went. The man could stay here.
Jiu Chi had only one request. He must eat whatever he cooked.
The man was not good at cooking either. They had already eaten four meals of cup noodles.
After dinner, Jiu Chi went to clean the table.
“Young lady, do you want to go home now or rest for the night?” the man asked.
Xing Jiuan lowered her eyes. “My name is Xing Jiuan…” She looked into the man’s eyes again. “You can call me Jiuan.”
The man smiled. “My name is Li Ting. You can call me Uncle Li.”
Xing Jiuan pursed her lips and greeted him.
The man seemed very happy.
He took out something from his pocket and reached out to hand it to Xing Jiuan.
It was a piece of high-quality jade. Xing Jiuan had seen many jades, but this piece could be considered one of the best jades she had ever seen.
“I don’t have anything on me right now. I can only give you this.
“From now on, you’re my little niece.”
In her previous life, Xing Jiuan had never seen this piece of jade.
Li Ting had even regretfully mentioned this piece of jade to Xing Jiuan once.
He said that it would have been better if he had gotten someone to carve it for Xing Jiuan.
