Falling Heart

Chapter 84 Pretend to Pay a Price
Returning to City A after four months, Shen Qing felt as if she had passed away.

Her home is in the same community as Gong Xiaoxiao's, and Chen Qian also lives nearby. The three of them often make appointments to go to each other's home for dinner, and going to their home is as familiar as going back to their own.

Chen Qian was already sitting at Shen Qing's house.

Liu Yanru had been discharged from the hospital, and when she heard that Shen Qing was coming back, she said she would help her clean. Chen Qian didn't want her to be exhausted after recovering from a serious illness, so he reluctantly took over the job.

Seeing the brand-new home, Shen Qing praised without hesitation: "It's not bad, Chen Qian, it saves the money for housekeeping."

"Hmph, I'm more concerned about housekeeping." Chen Qian was so tired that he collapsed on the sofa, motionless, talking became the most laborious action, "For the sake of being good friends for many years, let me give you a [-]% discount , charge you four hundred, remember to pay the bill."

"It's not a friendly price at all." Shen Qing also opened the service platform to check the price, "It's only three hundred."

Chen Qian immediately changed his words: "Then I can only ask for two hundred."

Gong Xiaoxiao sat down on the tatami mat regardless of her ladylike image, put her legs on the low stool, "I don't believe you really want Qingqing's money."

"Gong Xiaoxiao, don't take the money for nothing. I'm not like you who have no worries about food and clothing." Chen Qian looked at Shen Qing, and his tone became serious again, "I will pay you back the hospitalization fee you paid for grandma."

Shen Qing waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, although it is said that friends are clear about accounts, but there is no need to worry about this matter, not to mention that our comics are getting bigger and bigger, and it will be a matter of time to make a lot of money."

"Don't talk about it, why don't we think about what we're going to eat tonight," Gong Xiaoxiao got excited at the mention of eating, "Should we go to the hot pot restaurant on East Street or the barbecue restaurant on North Street?"

Shen Qing sat down tiredly leaning against Gong Xiaoxiao, "I just ate hot pot last night, let's barbecue."

"Eating such angry food for two days in a row, Shen Qing will have a sore throat tomorrow." Chen Qian imitated her previous appearance of losing her voice because of the anger, and stretched out a hand in the air with difficulty, "Xiao... ... Xiao, I want to... drink water."

Gong Xiaoxiao immediately sat a little further away, "You're really scary, like an old ghost risking his life."

Shen Qing froze in astonishment, "Am I so scary?"

"It's about the same," Gong Xiaoxiao turned on her phone to flip through the guide, "Then change to another one and eat something light, how about pork belly and chicken?"

It was probably because the hot pot last night was too heavy, and Shen Qing's face collapsed in boredom when she heard the word light.

"Looking at Shen Qing's expression, I'm not very happy," the three of them understood each other's thoughts when they frowned, and Chen Qian could tell with just a glance, "Since she's not afraid of death, let's have barbecue at night." .”

Gong Xiaoxiao asked uncertainly: "Qingqing, can you really do it?"

Shen Qing straightened her back and said righteously: "Yes, it must be done!"

The three of them went to a barbecue restaurant they used to go to. The boss enthusiastically gave them a [-]% discount and recommended the newly introduced spicy crayfish.

Gong Xiaoxiao immediately generously ordered six catties.

"Two catties per person, stay and eat what you can't finish!"

"I choose to surrender." Chen Qian was born and raised in City A. He never ate spicy food. He was self-aware of his own level, so he directly raised the small white flag.

Gong Xiaoxiao scolded him contemptuously: "Useless things."

She turned to look at Shen Qing with a smile, "Qingqing has stayed in the capital for a few months, so she must have cultivated an indestructible stomach?"

"You think too much. Under the care of Aunt Xin, my appetite has become tricky." Facing the oncoming spicy smell, Shen Qing's eyes were a little sore from the smoke, "I also want to surrender."

"That won't work, there can only be one trash among the three of us!" Gong Xiaoxiao even put a few more trash in Shen Qing's big bowl, "Eat more, you'll lose weight."

Shen Qing pinched her waist, although it was still thin, it was clearly thicker than before.

She reasonably suspected that Gong Xiaoxiao deliberately wanted to fatten her up, after all, Gong Xiaoxiao often talked about her envy of Shen Qing's physique of eating too much and not getting fat.

After a hearty battle between the three, the table was covered with crayfish shells.

Chen Qian's fair face was flushed red from the heat, Gong Xiaoxiao was choking and coughing, but she didn't forget to take out her mobile phone to take a picture of this scene, and laughed brazenly: "You are no different from a monkey's butt, I want to wash this photo Come out and hang on the wall, when you are in a bad mood, you will laugh out loud!"

Shen Qing was the one who behaved the most calmly. Even Chen Qian, who usually only complained, said in surprise: "Shen Qing, you are quite good."

Shen Qing, who had been squeezed for many years, finally got angry in the spicy crayfish eating competition, the corners of her mouth almost turned up to the sky.

She waved her hand pretending to be modest, "Where is that..."

When he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse as if his throat had been choked.

Both of them looked at her in surprise, and then laughed tacitly.

"Hey, Qingqing, I'll buy you some fire medicine to eat at night," Gong Xiaoxiao said as she stood up, "I'm really afraid that I won't be able to hear your beautiful voice tomorrow."

"Boss, here's a bottle of Wanglaoji!" Chen Qian beckoned and ordered a bottle of drink, and when he handed it to Shen Qing, he didn't forget to make up the knife, "There is a price to be paid for pretending to be coercive."

Shen Qing glared at the two of them angrily, no matter how they provoked her, she refused to say another word.

It was already 12:30 when I returned home with the medicine that Gong Xiaoxiao bought for her.

"To toss with them like this every day, the body of the god will collapse."

After taking a shower, she was almost too sleepy to open her eyes, and she was still thinking about taking medicine subconsciously before she fell into bed.

A second before closing his eyes, the phone next to his pillow vibrated.

Shen Qing struggled to reach it, but she didn't see who was calling, so she subconsciously picked it up.

"……Hey?"

There was silence on the other side of the phone, before speaking after a while: "What's wrong with your throat?"

"Xie Mingchao?" She was half conscious, and sat up from the bed, only to realize that she was lying on the quilt and almost fell asleep.

Shen Qing cleared her throat, trying to make her voice clearer, but her voice was still very hoarse.

"How do you know I'm up in the middle of the night?"

"Your circle of friends was updated 10 minutes ago, and you probably just took a shower at this time," Xie Mingchao said in a low voice, "You are very good, eating barbecue made yourself dumb."

"I was happy to see my friends when I got home, so I ate to my heart's content," she said in a soft voice, "But your call reminded me that I haven't taken my medicine yet."

"Go and take the medicine."

"Oh, good."

Shen Qing responded, and went to the living room to open the plastic bag containing the medicine. When she saw what was inside, she wanted to curse but stopped: "This little girl..."

Why did Gong Xiaoxiao buy vitamin C!
"I'll go downstairs and find a 24-hour pharmacy." She thought about it and maintained Gong Xiaoxiao's image in front of Xie Mingchao. "My friend seems to have bought the wrong medicine."

Xie Mingchao called her to stop: "No need, I'll order medicine for you and deliver it to your door. Don't open the door when the time comes, just ask him to leave the door."
