The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

After seeing off Wen Huaian and others, Lu Shi and Monkey System collected the gifts in the hall one by one. During this time, Qi Jin stood aside and did not speak for a long time.

Lu Shi couldn't guess what he was thinking. This man had been silent since he said that to Wen Huaian. Later, his face began to become gradually depressed. This change really made Lu Shi feel confused.

After a month of getting along, he thought that his relationship with Qi Jin should be pretty good, and he should show some concern when his friend is in a bad mood.

"What's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood? Who offended you?" Lu Shi looked at Qi Jin with concern and asked softly the reason.

Qi Jin smiled and replied, "It's okay."

Lu Shi looked at the smile on someone's face and felt that the storm must have ended.

"If everything is alright then..." Okay.

"I only just realized now that you will treat people as long as the money is in place." But everything he did was in vain, even - wishful thinking.

"It's a pity. I don't have that much money right now to pay for the consultation. No wonder..."

No wonder someone is still unwilling to detoxify him.

Qi Jin turned and went into the house. His decision to establish a good relationship with Lu Shi was the stupidest thing he had ever done in his life.

"Qi Qi!"

Just then Qi Qi came back and asked, "Master, what are your instructions?"

"Have you finished returning to Beijing?"

"I have already made arrangements and can set off at any time!"

Qi Qi's tone was full of excitement. His master was finally leaving, and he finally had a happy ending after all the hardship.

However, Qi Qi looked at Qi Jin expectantly with his shining eyes for a long time but did not hear any reply.

"...Forget it, go down."

Qi Qi: He just knew it, taking off pants to fart - why would the master bother asking such unnecessary questions? In the end, he is the one who gets hurt.

Nearing noon, the winter sun shone through the thick clouds, leaving only a ray of sunlight to the ground, but the weak light seemed unable to compete with the heavy windows, so the house was dim, and only a figure could be vaguely seen sitting still for a long time.

His facial features were invisible, only darkness surrounded him.

"master……"

"It's time for dinner." It's time for you to come out and eat.

"No appetite, not hungry, not going."

Lu Shi, who was outside the door, still felt strange when he heard Qi Jin's reply. He looked at Qi Qi, who was also at a loss. The confusion in their eyes was surprisingly similar.

'What's up with him? '

'I don't know, he was like this when I came back.'

"I think you guys must have offended him."

Qi Qi: "That can't be done. I think it's you, the only one who can make him angry."

Lu Shi: "Is he so irritating?"

The two exchanged glances, and the disgust on Qi Qi's face became more and more obvious, and Lu Shi frowned in confusion.

He carefully reviewed everything that happened today, not missing any details.

Suddenly, an idea struck him.

Qi Jin had told him before that he didn't have that much money to pay for the consultation, so the main reason why he was in a bad mood was because he had no money.

Well, if he wanted to borrow money, he should have just said so. He had just earned two thousand taels, so how could he not have money to lend him? This man was too unsure of their friendship.

"Qi Qi, go talk to your master. If he needs money, just ask."

Who? Who needs money?

Qi Qi was stunned and didn't react for a moment. Was he talking about his master? His master's assets might not be as rich as a country, but he certainly wouldn't be reduced to borrowing money.

He smiled back awkwardly, not knowing how to respond, so Lu Shi took it as his agreement.

"Leave some light meals for him later. You can take them in." He himself didn't have much appetite, so he just ate some dates. He still had important things to do.

Among the gifts Wen Huaian had just given him, he found a medicinal herb...

Time is urgent and there is no time to delay.

……

"Master, you'd better eat something. Just think of it as something for your own good." Qi Qi was holding food outside the door and trying to persuade him earnestly. Even if he was angry with that man, he couldn't not eat. If he starved, who would be responsible?

"……come in."

Qi Jin ate the food on the table quietly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.

He really needs to calm down.

"He sent this."

It's self-evident who he is.

"Yes, he probably realized that the master was in a bad mood because of him."

"Is it……"

Qi Jin's face curled up with a hint of irony. No matter what happened, that man remained indifferent, as if nothing had anything to do with him. He was detached from the world, yet in the bustling city, making him unpredictable.

He seems to care a lot about the villagers who raised him. Everything he does now is to create a better future for the villagers. He also has a kind heart to save people. The book is densely marked with the sufferings of the people, and his eagerness to seek happiness for the people is obvious.

Because of the tacit understanding between them, Qi Jin thought he had found the person who resonated with him.

He really wanted to be a good friend with him, or even a good brother.

But he seemed to really like money, and the initial sentence "Just give me the money" left him stunned for a long time.

Qi Jin didn't think this was a shortcoming. People with desires are more real, and what Lu Shi liked happened to be what he had.

Since he likes money, then use money to tie him down. Apart from the one at the top, who in this world can best satisfy him? Of course, it is Qi Jin.

Even though he had thought everything through, Qi Jin still felt a tightness in his chest. This person was the first person he wanted to befriend; otherwise, he wouldn't have had such an immature idea to get closer to Lu Shi.

However, after a month of sincere efforts, he still lost out to the two thousand taels. The feeling of unwillingness made him lose control and he couldn't help but lose his temper.

Fortunately, he will leave tomorrow, so he won't have to face his self-righteous and stupid behavior, and Lu Shi won't know that someone is ridiculously trying to use the meager relationship between the two to offset the antidote worth a thousand gold... After all, he is decent.

Qi Jin ate a few bites and then asked Qi Qi to take the food away. He felt a little headache now, and his heart felt like it was being pricked by needles and he couldn't breathe.

Very tired, want to rest...

Qi Jin lay on the bed and slowly fell asleep.

Three hours later, Lu Shi walked out of the room yawning.

He squinted his eyes to relieve some of his fatigue and saw the monkey system diligently preparing dinner. Thinking that Qi Jin would be leaving tomorrow and that he had angered someone today for some unknown reason, he wanted to let people taste his cooking skills and apologize at the same time.

This time he was very sincere and had even prepared the gifts.

Lu Shi had never cooked before. He'd simply lingered a bit while observing others cooking while exploring the myriad worlds. He'd also browse through the Monkey System's recipes when bored. He had no real experience, and the noodles he'd made for Qi Jin were his first attempt. Apparently, the result was quite good, so he must be talented.

Indeed, the monkey system was waiting to see the car rollover during landing, but it never expected that it would end up serving food. As plates of fragrant, hearty dishes were served, the monkey system was completely impressed.

Monkey System: "Excuse me, my dear host, is there anything else you don't know?"

Lu Shi: “I haven’t encountered any yet.”

Monkey System: "Then you will cook for yourself from now on."

Lu Shi (death smile): "If that's the case, then I don't think there's any need to keep you here, right?"

Monkey System: "Hehe...hehe...how can my dear host be confined to the kitchen? Of course, I will still be the one cooking from now on!"
