Chapter 588: Little Rice Ball
From the beginning, Qin Yi had treated Ze Ning as her younger brother.
Qin Yi’s act of rubbing his head was extremely comfortable and gave him an unprecedented feeling, but he enjoyed it.
“Are you hungry?” Qin Yi felt that Ze Ning should be hungry, as she could remember his appetite.
“I’m hungry!” Ze Ning said, his eyes lighting up. He was very hungry and had been so for a long time, but Qin Yi was asleep, and he did not want to disturb her.
“Can you eat cooked food? Or do you want to eat something else?” Qin Yi asked, pulling Ze Ning to sit down.
Ze Ning knew that humans ate cooked food, which made them different from him, but he was interested in it.
“I wish to try it.” Ze Ning blinked his cat-like eyes, the blood red pupils extremely beautiful, pitiful yet adorable.
“Alright, sure, but if you can’t, don’t force it. It’s fine if the food is raw too.” Qin Yi’s voice was gentle, bringing warmth to Ze Ning’s heart.
Qin Yi took out a packet of milk from the Origin Space. Although she still disliked the taste, after drinking it for such a long time, it had become a habit. This habit was one forcefully nurtured in her by her man.
Qin Yi’s eyebrows suddenly became gentle upon thinking about Yun Huan. Her heart also felt tranquil at that moment.
Upon thinking about it, she had not seen him for such a long time. Who knew if he was angry at her for sneaking out?
“Xiao Qi, who are you thinking about?” Ze Ning was sharp and could sense that Xiao Qi was thinking about an extremely important person. This person made Xiao Qi completely different.
“Me? I’m thinking about your brother-in-law. You will get to know him soon.”
Qin Yi caressed Ze Ning’s head once again, then handed him a packet of milk.
“Try it. See if you like it, ok?”
Ze Ning accepted it and took a sip. The faint milky taste was not unbearable at all, so he took a big mouth. By the looks of it, Qin Yi thought that he liked milk.
“Drink it slowly. I’m going to go prepare food.”
After settling Ze Ning down, Qin Yi went to the kitchen in a better mood, prepared to make more good food.
Just as she was thinking of the menu, a knock sounded out. Qin Yi’s phoenix eyes focused, wondering who it could be.
Qin Yi went to open the door and saw Huang Ying and a little boy standing there uncomfortably.
Huang Ying’s eyes lit up when she saw Qin Yi, flashing a bright smile.
Years of not eating sufficiently made her look skinny and small, but her clothes were clean, and she had delicate features. Her smile revealed adorable dimples.
“Hi big brother! How are you feeling?” Huang Ying’s eyes were filled with worry but also gratitude and reverence. If not for Qin Yi, they would not have returned.
Huang Ying was a young girl who knew how to thank her benefactors. She knew that Qin Yi did not have any obligation to save them. This big brother, who was not only good looking but also kindhearted, was filled with warmth that made her feel at ease. She wanted to stick with him.
When she woke up that day, she felt that it was time to bring her younger brother to thank Qin Yi.
Huang Ying pulled on her little brother’s hand and spoke gently, “Little Rice Ball, this is sister’s benefactor. Thank him together with sister. The milk you had was given to me by him.”
Little Rice Ball looked to be younger than five and was skinny and small as well. He looked malnourished, but his eyes were filled with energy. Although he looked somewhat shy, Qin Yi could tell that he was a good kid.
Upon hearing about the milk, he licked his lips and spoke up, “Thank you for saving my sister, big brother. And thank you for the milk.”
