“That…. Chen Ling, how much are the clothes and stuff?” Sui Li’er stood in place, curious, and asked.

Chen Ling didn’t look at her and casually said, “Why? Do you want to pay? Do you have money?”

“Well, even though I don’t have money, I can work for you!”

“I’m very capable!” Sui Li’er looked at Chen Ling seriously.

She thought that although Chen Ling was a god, money didn’t come out of thin air. The main thing was that he had helped her so much, and she felt uneasy about freeloading from him. So she also wanted to help him.

Chen Ling raised an eyebrow and smiled gently. “Capable?”

“Yes!”

Looking at Sui Li’er’s serious expression, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Eh? What’s so funny?” Sui Li’er was puzzled when she saw Chen Ling laughing.

“Oh, nothing. Are you hungry? What would you like to eat tonight?”

“Why are you laughing?” Sui Li’er thought back and realized that there wasn’t anything particularly funny about what she said.

Chen Ling changed the subject directly: “What do you want to eat? By the way, why are you standing? Sit down.”

Sui Li’er had been standing in front of him the whole time. She stood there while he sat, looking down on her. This made Chen Ling uncomfortable.

“Oh, I’m just too happy! I Forgot, hehe.” Sui Li’er sat down gently, right beside Chen Ling. The topic was successfully shifted, and her idea of working for him disappeared along with it.

Chen Ling was lying on the couch without any sense of presence, while Sui Li’er sat by his feet, on the edge of the couch. After sitting down, she couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward.

Should I sit on the opposite side? Would that be too close?

Chen Ling didn’t pay much attention to it. He yawned and mumbled incoherently, “What do you want to eat?”

Sui Li’er didn’t say anything; she didn’t hear him. She was thinking to herself: If I get up now and sit across from him, would it be even more awkward?

Chen Ling yawned again, keeping his eyes closed. He was getting sleepy.

“Hey, I’m talking to you.” Impatiently, he kicked her foot.

Ber~ He kicked something soft.

Sui Li’er felt a gentle bump on her buttocks and immediately realized what it was. She lowered her head in disbelief, her beautiful eyes trembling as she looked at Chen Ling’s feet. Did the Lord God just kick my butt!?

Chen Ling was also stunned for a moment, feeling flustered: Damn, I thought it was Mo Suyan pulling a prank on me!

He had spent too much time with Mo Suyan on a regular basis. It was normal for good buddies to play around, like giving each other a kick and receiving a friendly punch in return. He was used to it and didn’t react immediately. But the person sitting in front of him wasn’t Mo Suyan!

He quickly opened his eyes and looked at the dumbfounded Sui Li’er. At the same time, he activated the system and checked the points update. By observing the points change, he could understand her current emotions.

〚 Ding~ Points +5. 〛

〚 Points +5. 〛

Chen Ling: ???

When he looked at Sui Li’er again, he noticed that her ears had turned red. To be honest, Chen Ling thought she looked even more beautiful like this. Her previous complexion was too pale, sickly, although it had a kind of morbid beauty. But he preferred Sui Li’er like this.

Now, how should he handle the situation? How do I explain this?

Sui Li’er’s brain had almost stopped functioning at this point, and her body was trembling slightly. Seeing her reaction, Chen Ling felt embarrassed and said quickly, “Uh, sorry, I thought it was my friend.”

“Oh, it’s okay.” Sui Li’er lowered her head slightly, blushing, and spoke in a small voice.

Then the situation became awkward again.

Chen Ling sighed helplessly in his mind. Why is living with a girl so awkward, damn it! He was starting to feel a little frustrated and completely uncomfortable.

Well, she would probably forget about this incident in ten minutes.

So, after ten minutes…

“What do you want to eat?”

“Well, let’s just have leftovers from lunch. We still have so much, right? Hehe~ I feel like we can have two more meals!” Sui Li’er’s smile returned to her face, as usual.

Chen Ling felt a mix of joy and speechlessness: Does she really forget in just ten minutes?

With a blank expression, he said, “I threw them away. I want to eat something fresh.”

“Ha! Why? We had so much left.”

“Ugh, it’s such a waste. If I had known, I would have eaten more.”

〚 Ding~ Points -1000. 〛

Chen Ling: ???

“Hey, hey, just kidding. I didn’t throw them away.” Helpless, Chen Ling had a thought, and all the leftover food from lunch appeared on the table next to the sofa.

“Hehe~ Thank you~” Sui Li’er smiled happily.

Chen Ling weakly said, “But they’re all cold now, how will we eat them?”

“It’s okay, we can still eat them!”

Chen Ling shrugged and didn’t say anything, starting to order interdimensional takeout. He only ate fresh food, a picky eater.

Sui Li’er suddenly took a bite and exclaimed, “We can eat it, Chen Ling, it’s still hot!”

Chen Ling rolled his eyes, “Obviously, I heated it for you. Of course, it’s edible.”

“Oh, hehe~” Sui Li’er immediately felt that the food in her mouth tasted even better. The considerations of the Lord God were truly thoughtful!

“Do you want to eat it? It’s really delicious.”

Chen Ling shook his head, “No, you can eat it. I want something fresh.”

“Oh, okay then~” Sui Li’er didn’t say anything more since Chen Ling was so determined. If that’s the case, let me help the Lord God by getting rid of these leftovers! Hiahia (・`ω´・ )

She sat on the sofa and slowly started eating, thinking to herself that she had to finish it all today, or else Chen Ling would throw it away tomorrow.
