America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 141 Steak and Savings

It was evening, and there was already a hint of chill in the New Jersey suburbs in October.

Dusk fell, and the afterglow of the setting sun painted the sky into orange-red satin, and the gilded horizon was engraved with a touch of dark golden glow.

Li Xiaoen turned on the lights in the living room and kitchen, and then sat on the chair that Sufei had moved next to him.

"Do you still remember this comic?"

Li Xiaoen casually tore off a piece of pizza and took a bite, then leaned over to look at the computer.

The scroll wheel turned the page down, Sufeier swallowed the food in his mouth, and couldn't help but glance at the young man beside him.

"Would you like to sit over here?"

Blinking his eyes, Li Xiaoen turned his head and looked at the girl blankly.

"..."

"Forget it if you don't want to."

Sufeil pursed his lips and let out a breath, then shifted his gaze and looked back at the computer screen.

"Yes, of course I am."

Li Xiaoen laughed out loud. It was really uncomfortable to sit next to Su Feier and read the text in the comics. He quickly stood up and squeezed into the chair in front of the computer, and put one hand around Su Feier's slender waist.

"Ah……"

Sufeil was so angry that he laughed. He turned to look at the young man beside him and lowered his hand to grab the other's lower back.

"Let's eat and read comics, okay?"

He quickly pulled his hand back, grasped the source of his pain, and tried to persuade him helplessly.

Sufeil took his hand back, rolled his eyes, and then looked at the computer screen again.

The two of them ate pizza and read comics intently, and the entire back hall suddenly became quiet.

"Haven't you finished reading this page yet?"

Having been waiting for a long time, Li Xiaoen couldn't help but ask, yawned, took a lunch box wrapped in layers of tin foil from the delivery cardboard box, picked up a steak with a fork and put it in his mouth.

"Um……"

Feeling the slightly woody and hard texture in his mouth, Li Xiaoen frowned slightly.

It was originally medium-rare, and when it was served, it was probably cooked even more inside. It was different from the doneness I was used to, and the taste suddenly became much worse.

Things like steak are not suitable for delivery.

"I'm a slow reader. I suggest you go out and run a couple of laps. By the time you come back, I'll have almost finished reading."

Sophie turned her head and opened her mouth to speak when the young man handed her a piece of steak.

"..."

He pursed his lips, bit it into his mouth, and Sufeil's brows gradually frowned as he chewed.

"Ha ha……"

Sufeier usually ate medium-rare steak before, and when Li Xiaoen saw him eating a steak that even he felt was a bit dry, he burst out laughing.

"what……"

Sufeil suddenly realized what was going on. He gritted his teeth and reached out to touch the young man's lower back again, but was stopped by the young man who was prepared. He couldn't help but look up at the other person, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's been sitting in the takeout box for too long. Let's finish it together and don't waste it." Li Xiaoen comforted him and gestured to tighten his grip.

"Aren't you thrifty? If you want to eat, eat it yourself."

She refused coldly. She couldn't do anything while the young man was on guard. Su Feier couldn't help but roll his eyes.

When she ordered the takeout, she had already prepared to eat medium-rare with the young man. Now she was being teased, and she was really angry.

You're not really angry, are you?
Seeing this, Li Xiaoen blinked, slowed down his movements, took the orange juice that was brought to him and took a sip.

"Sufeier, I've tested the poison." Li Xiaoen picked up another glass of orange juice and handed it to Sufeier. He smiled and said, "Their freshly squeezed orange juice is good. You can try it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he received Sufei's sidelong glance.

"Orange juice is fine. Your glass is still sealed, isn't it?"

Li Xiaoen had no choice but to explain, and took the initiative to insert a straw into it. He moved close to the girl's mouth and gestured a few times, finally getting her to open her mouth and bite the straw.

"..."

"Sufeil..."

Seeing that the girl hadn't opened her mouth and had been sipping the orange juice, Li Xiaoen reminded her, "Have you finished drinking? My hands are a little tired..."

"No."

Biting his habit, Sufei made a vague sound.

"Ok."

Shrugging his shoulders helplessly, Li Xiaoen chose not to take the glass of orange juice away. "I should be happy to be able to help such a beautiful lady."

"You don't sound happy."

Sufeil was immediately amused by these words and couldn't help but let go of the straw and turned to look at the young man.

I don’t know whether to say that the young man is optimistic and open-minded, or that he is comforting himself. No matter what he has faced, no matter how unfavorable or bad the situation is, he can always find a way to comfort himself and cheer himself up.

But there is no doubt that he always maintains a high-energy mental outlook. Although you may get very angry sometimes when you are with him, the atmosphere has never been depressed.

"Because I need to eat these dry steaks."

Li Xiaoen smiled and shrugged, picked up a piece with a fork and handed it to Sufeil, which made the other's face turn cloudy for a moment.

"If you want to eat it, eat it yourself. I'd rather choke you to death!"

Sufeier ignored the scolding and turned back to look at the comics - with the young man next to her, almost ten minutes had passed and she hadn't even finished reading two pages.

"Then throw it away."

After trying a few times and even finding a few tendons, Li Xiaoen shook his head and gave up the idea of ​​trying to finish it. He had enough money now, so there was no need to subject himself to such a thing.

Pushing the steak away and facing the expected sneering look from Sufeil, Li Xiaoen picked up the orange juice in one hand and put his other hand around the girl's slender waist from behind and put it to the other side.

“Read comics.”

Seeing the girl's body begin to struggle, Li Xiaoen tightened his grip and brought her into his arms, which gradually made her stop moving.

"This comic is really well drawn."

After the two of them watched it together, Li Xiaoen couldn't help but nod and praise.

Could it be that the boy's comics couldn't survive in Japan due to the fierce competition, so he came to America to open up the market?

Li Xiaoen felt strange and thought about asking the other party later, but he saw the girl in his arms rubbing her head against his chest left and right.

"I'm going back soon."

"Well, let's go back after we finish packing."

Li Xiaoen nodded and looked around. In fact, there was not much to clean up, just the delivered garbage and some clothes.

"When the holidays come, let's stay here overnight." Another soft voice came from the girl in his arms.

"sure."

Li Xiaoen took a deep breath, nodded, and rubbed the girl's waist with his hand.

Not to mention Sufeil, he also wanted to stay in his own house for a few days and nights - the current situation, after two visits, he felt that this house was like a hotel.

After simply packing up and changing into the new clothes they bought today, the two drove away and headed towards the school.
