Chapter 20: The Goddess Wants to Cohabitate
After beating the person, Xiao Yu decisively took Cong Yurou and left. These four people were also familiar to Xiao Yu, they often appeared in this internet cafe together. Even if he was now powerful, he still belonged to the category of human beings and couldn't transform into Superman, so it was inevitable that two fists would be hard-pressed to contend with four hands!
"Stop, stop, stop! What are you running for? You're so powerful, what's there to be afraid of? Come what may, we'll deal with it as it comes! " Jingyu was very dissatisfied with Xiao Yu's behavior of running away. In her opinion, since Xiao Yu had such incredible fighting power, why didn't he just fight properly? Moreover, she was such a weak and delicate girl, how could she withstand such exertion? After running for not even a short while, she already felt like her heart was going to jump out of her mouth!
"I'm asking you, are you really stupid or just naturally silly? I can fight, but even if my whole body was made of iron, how many nails could I hold onto at once? Besides, when they're ganging up on me, do I still have time to take care of you? What if you get hurt by them?" Xiao Yu finally understood why people say that a woman's appearance is often inversely proportional to her intelligence. It seems his goddess sometimes doesn't use her brain!
After hearing this, Ning Yu's face turned red with embarrassment and she lowered her head. Then she said in a weak voice: "Thank you for caring about me so much, from childhood to adulthood, except for my dad, no one has ever cared about me like that!"
Xiao Yixin said, "Is it necessary to be so exaggerated? I just stated a very obvious fact. Is this what you call concern?" However, never mind. Today's gains have been huge. Not only did I help my goddess win the game, but she also kissed me! More importantly, at the most critical moment, I stood up and protected my goddess!
The only thing that makes Xiao Yi feel regretful is that he and the goddess are not from the same university, so they will have fewer opportunities to meet in the future. Perhaps this is his last chance to be in such close contact with the goddess. It's not bad to bring such a beautiful memory into college!
"Alright, it's time to say goodbye. I haven't had lunch yet, so I'm going to go eat now. You should hurry home too. Try not to go to the internet cafe often, the environment isn't good and it's not safe for a girl like you!" After saying that, Xiao Yu was about to turn around and leave. He thought that at this moment, he should leave without looking back, so as to appear carefree and make the goddess think that he wasn't too reluctant to part with her.
But Xiao Yu had only taken a few steps when he heard Ning Yuxi shouting from behind: "Xiao Yu! Wait, don't go, I haven't eaten lunch yet either. How about we eat together? My treat, as a thank you for your help today!"
For a moment, Xiao Yi's heart was filled with the feeling of spring. His goddess not only wanted to have dinner with him but also treated him as her guest. Was he dreaming?
Xiao Yi immediately turned around and ran back to Ning Yu's side, saying: "What a coincidence! It turns out you haven't had lunch either! Great, I was just thinking that eating alone would be too boring. Now there's no problem at all! However, let me treat this time, it's not right for a girl to pay the bill!"
"Hey, kid, don't be polite with me! I said I'd treat you to a meal and that's exactly what I'm going to do. You've really helped me out today, and I'll need your help again later, so this meal is definitely on me!"
Xiao Yi was surprised to discover that he actually had a quality of being happy to help others, and as soon as Ning Yu said let him help, Xiao Yi felt his whole body heat up! This was clearly excitement!
It's really great to be able to help the goddess, which means that in the process of helping, the two people will inevitably have contact, and it's close-range contact. The good helper may even get extra rewards. For a loser, this is not just helping, it's like the benefits sent out in the group at midnight every day!
"What's the big deal? Are you saying someone is not convinced? No problem, bring him out and I'll take him on one-on-one, this is just a small matter!" Xiao Yi's confidence had never been so overwhelming before. At this moment, it wasn't just some stray cat or dog, even an S-level world champion team wouldn't be in his eyes!
"Never mind about helping out for now, let's talk while we eat, it'll be more enjoyable that way! So I said I'd treat you all to a meal, come on!"
Being kind and generous is a fine virtue of the Chinese nation, Xiao Yi feels that he has deeply inherited this fine virtue and carried it forward! When Jing Yu said she wanted to invite him out for dinner, he eventually agreed. When Jing Yu asked where they should go eat, Xiao Yi just followed her wherever she chose to go.
But when they arrived at the place, Jing Yu suddenly found that his bank card was frozen, which is a bit embarrassing. Looking at Jing Yu who only had ten or twenty yuan left on him, Xiao Yi felt that in the end, he would probably still have to foot the bill for this meal!
"I was indeed going to invite you to dinner, but who knew our old man froze my bank card! I don't have the habit of carrying a lot of cash on me, and the 500 yuan I had today is all gone, so you understand! By the way, what's this thing, it tastes really good!" Ning Yu Xiao hugged a bowl of spicy hot pot and ate with relish, looking like she hadn't eaten for two or three days.
Xiao Yi opened the can of Coke and pushed it in front of Ning Yu, saying: "Eat slowly, this thing is called spicy hot pot, the taste is not bad, but there's no nutrition. The money on me is definitely not enough to take you to that high-end restaurant before, so just make do with it. No need to be in such a hurry, no one will snatch it from you!"
"You know what, I didn't know that for the past few days I've been living on instant noodles in internet cafes! If it wasn't for running into you today, who knows how many more meals of instant noodles I would have had to eat!" Ning Yu's eyes turned red from eating too much spicy food, and this deeply enlightened Xiao Yi to a truth: no matter how beautiful a girl is, when she eats spicy hot pot, she won't look good anywhere!
"How can you stay in the internet cafe for so long, doesn't your family care? And what exactly did you want me to help with before?" Xiao Yu's curiosity grew even more, and he felt that Jingyu's state was not normal.
"It's a long story, really hard to say it all in one breath! A few days ago, I had a big fight with my dad about school and then I ran out of the house. Since then, I haven't gone back home. Unexpectedly, that old man actually froze my bank account, isn't that infuriating?! You've almost finished eating, can you give me what's left?"
The goddess was willing to eat the leftovers of Xiao Yi, which naturally made Xiao Yi overjoyed. Ignoring his unappetizing eating posture from earlier, Xiao Yi pushed his own spicy hot pot over. After all, who wouldn't have a bad eating posture when they're starving?!
"I think this isn't the way to do it, you should go back and have a good talk with your father. There shouldn't be any overnight grudges between parent and child, what's the point? Now that you've left your father, you don't have any means of living, don't make things difficult for yourself!" Xiao Yi exhorted with a bitter tone, at this moment he felt his own moral character had increased greatly!
But Nian Yu Xiao is not listening at all now, she waved her hand impatiently and said: "It's useless, I'm too familiar with the temper of our family's old man. My temper is just like his, we're both the kind of people who won't turn back until we hit the wall. So it's basically impossible to get us two to compromise!"
"What's going to happen, are you just going to keep wandering around outside like this? Spending every day in internet cafes? Not to mention that you don't have much money left on you, but also as a beautiful girl like you staying out all the time is very dangerous, this society is still quite chaotic!"
At this time, Ning Yu finally destroyed everything and took a sip of Coke, letting out a deep breath. "This is exactly what I wanted to discuss with you. Can you help me out as a classmate and let me stay at your place for a while?"
Xiao Yi didn't respond, not because he didn't want to answer now, but his brain had already crashed!
The goddess said she wanted to stay in his home for a while, does this mean that they are going to start living together?
This won't do, Xiao Yu was completely unprepared for this, the development of this matter is really too fast, the rhythm shouldn't be like this!
Xiao Yi didn't respond, so Ning Yu spoke up and said: "I know I don't have any money on me right now, and it's also quite unfair for me to be freeloading at your place! However, I can help out with the household chores. And I won't stay at your house forever either. Once my relationship with my old man improves, I'll leave, and when that time comes, I'll take out some money to compensate you!"
After finishing speaking, Ning Yu looked at Xiao Yi with a hopeful gaze, as if Xiao Yi was her only hope now!
Xiao Yi's heart was already filled with joy, he thought that if Jing Yu Xiao was willing, she could stay in their home for the rest of her life, whether they paid her or not didn't matter, and she wouldn't even need to help with household chores! She could stay as long as she wanted!
However, Xiao Yi's expression was quite embarrassed. He opened his mouth and said: "It's not impossible to go to our house to live, my parents are always abroad, the house is just me living alone, it's very convenient. But the house I'm living in now is a bit small, you won't mind, will you?"
"Me? Disdain him? I'm a homeless person now, I don't disdain at all!"
Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Alright then, since that's the case, you can come over and stay temporarily for now. Later, I'll take you to buy some daily necessities. As for household chores, I'll leave it up to you, what else can you do besides cleaning?"
"Or I can use my left hand to help you achieve your dream?"
