Phi-Fic Chapter 19 Shen Xi's New Neighbor
Chapter 19 Shen Xi's New Neighbor
Having your own home gives you a sense of security, and you can feel happy and relaxed just lying at home.
Shen Xi crossed her legs and played games all afternoon.
After a whole day of house cleaning, the house looks brand new. I don't know when it will get dirty again, but... that doesn't matter!
She had been lying in bed all day, watching TV, feeling conflicted about what kind of job she should look for.
Good heavens! She still owes a debt!
Her eyes were lifeless. Did she have to make money by drawing?
After a few days of rest, I need to think about whether I should go back to my old profession.
Throughout her university years, she worked part-time as an art teacher and sometimes took on odd jobs related to anime and manga, eventually earning a considerable amount of money from her art.
A wealthy woman who loves anime and manga saw that she was good at drawing and offered her a reward, asking her to draw a series of stories about her favorite anime and manga characters. The wealthy woman would provide the storyline and she would draw it.
Bounty: 5000 per section
Shen Xi achieved financial freedom back in college thanks to this wealthy young woman.
Thinking of this, Shen Xi felt extremely sad. She hadn't spent all her money before she transmigrated into the book. What could be more painful than dying with money still unspent?!
Okay, stop, you can't be upset anymore.
She hasn't finished eating yet; she'll only feel uncomfortable after she finishes eating.
Shen Xi's stomach was already rumbling, but she found that there were not many takeout options nearby, and the few that were available were mostly pastry and tea shops.
She struggled for a long time between being hungry and getting up.
'Boom dong dong'
A rhythmic knocking sounded on the door.
Who would knock on the door at this time?
Shen Xi frowned, becoming wary, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen to grab a cleaver and place it near the door.
She glanced at the cat's eyes; it was a young and beautiful girl.
She slung the kitchen knife behind her back and opened the door, close to the wall.
Su Su knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no sign of it being opened.
Just as she bent down, the door opened.
Su Su was undoubtedly a stunning beauty, with naturally red lips and chestnut-colored curly hair like seaweed draped over her shoulders, but her eyes were clean and clear.
Shen Xi thought she finally knew what a woman who combined the contradictory words "alluring" and "naive" in novels looked like.
She has a quirk: she likes beautiful women!
Who doesn't love a beautiful woman!
Su Su smiled politely and said, "Hello, my name is Su Su. I'm your neighbor next door. Am I disturbing your sleep?"
Shen Xi snapped out of her daze, casually wiped away her drool, and put on a big smile: "No, no, just call me Shen Xi. I was just about to cook!"
While explaining, he casually placed the kitchen knife on the entryway.
At this time,
The little dumpling popped out from behind Su Su and said, "Hello, pretty sister!"
Shen Xi then noticed that there was a child behind Su Su.
This child, this child is so beautiful! High nose bridge, slightly curly hair, shy eyes, her beauty is almost androgynous, like a mixed-race child.
The last time I saw such a good-looking child was Jiang Du, the young master of the Jiang family.
The thought of that well-behaved child made Shen Xi feel inexplicably sad, even though they hadn't known each other for very long.
She shook her head, looked at the child opposite her, bent down, and looked at the child with a kind and gentle expression.
Shen Xi praised without reservation: "Little baby, you are so beautiful!"
She could tell the child was a little shy, so she kept her distance and gave the child a thumbs-up from a distance.
The little dumpling was really shy; her face turned red, and she hid behind her mother again.
Su Su was also a little embarrassed. She avoided Shen Xi's eyes as she spoke, "This child takes after me; we're both a bit socially awkward. Please excuse the awkwardness."
Then he quickly added, "I saw the trash being taken out of the door, and after checking the security footage, I realized it was you. Thank you so much, so I wanted to give you some things I made myself."
Shen Xi then remembered that she had been cleaning up the trash in her bedroom last night. When she opened the door, she found a bag of trash in the bin outside her neighbor's house. The trash bag was pink, like it belonged to a girl.
Since there wasn't much trash this time, she decided to help carry it down.
Shen Xi smiled sheepishly: "It was just a small favor, no need to be so polite."
Su Su wasn't very good at talking to strangers either. She parted her red lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated: "The things I make are all delicious. You can try them."
Oh wow, what's this called?
What a timely rain!
Shen Xi keenly noticed that Su Su was a little embarrassed and, like a child, dared not look her in the eye.
A typical case of social anxiety syndrome.
She took a step forward: "It just so happens that I haven't ordered...cooked yet, thank you for your kindness."
Su Su was somewhat flattered and quickly waved her hand.
In the end, Su Su led Shen Xi into the house. As soon as they entered, Shen Xi discovered that the neighbor's house had the same layout as hers, and the house was also very small.
Out of politeness, she didn't look around.
Su Su led Shen Xi to the dining table, where there was fried chicken, egg tarts, some delicate pastries, and spicy chicken noodles. Then Su Su brought out some home-style dishes from the kitchen.
Shen Xi stared incredulously at the large table of food, stammering, "Su Su...you made so much?!"
Su Su didn't do this specifically to thank her, did she?
Su Su put down her plate, settled the child who was covering his eyes in the high chair, and said with slightly red ears, "I'm a food blogger, so sometimes I make a lot of food to shoot videos and occasionally I do live streams."
"Su Su, you're amazing! The carving is so exquisite, I couldn't believe it was a pastry when I first saw it."
Su Su blushed slightly at Shen Xi's enthusiastic praise, and unconsciously rubbed her son's head.
“I learned all of this from my mother. I made a lot of food today, more than my child and I can finish. You can stay and eat with us.”
Su Su sincerely invited her.
Shen Xi hesitated for a few seconds; she was somewhat wary, but not much.
A few seconds later, she immediately nodded. Such a beautiful woman and her soft baby were not in any danger here.
"it is good!"
Su Su smiled, pursing her lips.
"Okay, I'll go get the cutlery and wait for me."
Shen Xi thought for a moment and decided to go in with her to help, otherwise she would feel awkward.
She winked at the child who was secretly watching her, and the child blushed shyly.
Shen Xi noticed that Su Su's ears were still red, and thought that genes were a really interesting thing.
They set out the tableware and food together.
Su Su pulled the children's chair closer, her eyes sincere: "Xiao Xi, don't be shy. If we can't finish these, they might go to waste, so you've helped me out."
"I will!"
The meal was very harmonious, perhaps because the magnetic fields of the people were compatible.
Su Su liked Shen Xi very much, and the boy named Su Qi'an stopped secretly looking at her.
Shen Xi also thought Su Su and Qi An were both adorable!
Before leaving, Shen Xi volunteered to wash the dishes as a way of repaying the meal she had eaten for free.
Su Su covered her mouth and laughed, pointing her slender, fair finger to the corner of the kitchen.
A huge dishwasher.
