The bad value system is measuring values.

Chapter 20 28 Yuan

Looking into his timid, dark eyes behind his glasses, Qiao Xiao immediately understood what he had done.

She immediately stood up, pointed to the food he had scattered everywhere, and said to the cashier, "He didn't pay for his food."

System notification: "Detected as target number three - Shen Jing."

Qiao Xiao casually grabbed a box of candy: "Please settle the bill for us."

The cashier didn't quite understand and readily agreed, "Okay, okay, just a moment, I'll process your payment now."

Qiao Xiao handed him the bag and said, "Let's go, I forgot to buy something, you go back first."

Shen Jing lowered his head, his dark eyes fixed on her, and said, "Mm."

The figure that walked out the door was tall and slender, with a youthful air about him.

Qiao Xiao clutched the box in her hand: "System, why does this box of candy cost twenty-eight yuan? Can I get a refund?"

She looked at her receipt. "It cost fifty yuan in total. He only spent twenty-two yuan on all that stuff, but my box of candy cost twenty-eight yuan?!"

Qiao Xiao didn't want to return the goods; she simply couldn't accept her financial situation.

She went to buy groceries and spent forty-two yuan, which included meat.

Qiao Xiao: "This box of candy has cost me so much, I can't take it, I have to return it."

Suddenly, it dawned on her that Shen Jing had taken her candy, bag and all.

Qiao Xiao was struck dumb, her vision blurred, and she left the supermarket in a muffled voice.

At the entrance, under a lamp, in the dim light, a person stood there.

He saw Qiao Xiao and hurried over.

Qiao Xiao immediately took defensive action.

"Your candy." His heavenly voice made Qiao Xiao's heart flutter.

Qiao Xiao took it and noticed that his hands were slender and long, perfect for playing the piano. Shen Jing walked away in silence.

The two made no progress, and Qiao Xiao mustered up her courage to return the 28 yuan worth of candy.

After returning to the villa, Qiao Xiao began to cook for Gu Jinghe. Her cooking was edible, not exactly gourmet, but certainly not the kind that could poison someone.

Qiao Xiao carried three small dishes upstairs. She knocked on Gu Jinghe's door and said, "Gu Jinghe, time to eat." She tried her best to express her concern for him, but all she could say were cold words.

Startled, Gu Jinghe hid in his secret base after Qiao Xiao left during the day and refused to eat anything.

Hearing the reassuring voice, Gu Jinghe slowly moved and opened the door.

"Remember to eat the food I made for you." After saying that, he put it down without any intention of lingering.

Gu Jinghe called out to her weakly, "Don't go!"

Even though he was speaking at his loudest volume, it was still too quiet.

"You're weak right now, just eat well, don't worry about anything else."

She meant that you don't need to worry about other things; just take care of yourself.

In Gu Jinghe's eyes, she was saying coldly, "Mind your own business!"

His handsome eyes held an unspeakable sadness as he murmured, "I just want to know your name. This isn't meddling in other people's business."

He was so overwhelmed with emotion that he couldn't speak, staring at the steaming dishes on the table, but there was no soup.

Gu Jinghe: "Let's eat properly, she went to a lot of trouble to make this."

His mood at this moment was like a Bagua formation, with surging black water on one side and a gently flowing warm current on the other, merging into each other without any boundaries.

Warm food warms the stomach and warms the heart.

System notification: "Gu Jinghe's favorability has increased by 10, and his current favorability is 37."

Qiao Xiao: "What happens if I have a high favorability rating? Will I like you?"

System: "Yes, host, reaching 80 indicates affection."
