Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 44 Goodbye Lu Xiaoxue

The old man had a smiling face and was holding a large tray with two bowls of steaming noodles on it.

Amid the clash of bowls, chopsticks, and ceramics, two bowls of noodles were placed in front of Li Qingfeng and Xiao Li.

"Take your time to eat. If you don't have enough, you can have more. Here are the chopsticks."

After saying that, the old man turned around and walked back to the kitchen to take out the remaining food.

Li Qingfeng sniffed slightly and looked at the pleasing red and green noodles in front of him.

Li Qingfeng, who has always been pure-hearted and aloof from desires, actually felt a surge of desire.

Looking at Xiao Li opposite him, he was even more miserable. He had already pulled out his chopsticks and was stuffing noodles into his mouth in big mouthfuls.

When she noticed Li Qingfeng's gaze, she used her eyes to signal him why he didn't eat yet, as if he would regret it if he didn't eat it.

I simply ignored this funny guy and took out a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of tomato and put it in my mouth.

Unlike the taste in restaurants, it doesn’t have so many pungent flavors, but rather the fragrance of the vegetables themselves, accompanied by a slightly sour and sweet taste that melts in the mouth.

It's light, but not monotonous; it's delicious.

He hadn't eaten for a long time, so his appetite was aroused.

Compared to Xiao Li, who had no manners when eating, Li Qingfeng was much more refined, but his eating speed was not slow at all.

The two of them devoured the noodles in their hands in their own ways.

Xiao Li lay back in the recliner, patted his stomach and burped contentedly, while Li Qingfeng opposite him showed no reaction.

Even the abdomen did not rise or fall at all.

When everyone had almost finished eating, the old man came out from the kitchen again.

He started to clear the dishes on the table, and while he was busy he chatted with everyone with a smile.

"Please sit down first. It's hot outside because of the bright sun. I have tea here for free."

After eating and drinking his fill, Xiao Li felt a little lazy. He turned his head to look at the old man who was busy at the next table. He felt that he looked more and more familiar.

His brows furrowed involuntarily, and he quickly took out his cell phone to look for something.

After a while.

"Ah, Taoist Priest Li! This old man..."

He couldn't help shouting, but the next moment he realized what was happening and quickly covered his mouth with his hand, then spoke again in a low voice.

"Master Li, this old woman is the grandmother of our target this time! What a coincidence..."

After hearing what he said, Li Qingfeng's eyes twitched. He glanced at the old man who had returned to the kitchen and said in a cold tone.

"As the police officer handling the case, are you so surprised that you failed to recognize the target?"

This cold voice made Xiao Li recover from his sudden surprise. He scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and tried to make excuses.

"...You can't blame me entirely... We were investigating a different group of people, and their files weren't very clear..."

Just as Qingfeng Li was looking at Xiao Li's explanation with a cold expression, a sound of footsteps came closer.

"Squeak~"

The rusty door was pushed open, and a thin figure walked into the noodle shop in the sunshine.

"Grandma, I'm back."

Hearing the sound, the police officers in the store looked over curiously and met the other party's surprised eyes.

"you…"

Looking at the police officers sitting in the room, Lu Xiaoxue was a little panicked and couldn't help but clench her hands holding her schoolbag.

"Excuse me, police officer, what can I do for you?"

In the end, she suppressed her inner fear and spoke in a questioning tone.

After being scolded, Xiao Li lowered his head and drooped his eyes, and looked timidly at Li Qingfeng who had his back to the girl.

At this moment, he heard a familiar voice behind him and realized who was coming.

He swept away the cold expression just now and turned around with a calm face.

"Ah? It's you? Are you... okay?"

Seeing Li Qingfeng turning around, the girl was even more surprised than before.

Looking at that familiar face, I almost blurted out, "You weren't caught?"

Fortunately, at the last moment, he realized that there were police officers all around him, so he quickly swallowed his words and replaced them with a more vague meaning.

Seeing the interesting changes in the girl's expression, Li Qingfeng didn't tease her intentionally, but gave a simple explanation.

"Yes, it's okay. You don't have to worry anymore. I'm a police officer now, and I'm their leader."

Lu Xiaoxue understood what he meant, and her eyes widened in surprise. Then she smiled sincerely, as if she was happy for him.

But then he seemed to think of something, and his happy expression gradually dimmed.

Although it was quickly covered up, it was still captured by Li Qingfeng.

This made him feel a little confused, as the last expression was obviously a little unusual.

Was he bullied?
Thinking of this, Li Qingfeng's expression couldn't help but become serious.

He stood up and walked up to the girl, asking her questions, looking her up and down, trying to find any wounds or signs of tearing.

"What's wrong with you? Is someone bothering you again?"

He waited for a response, but his expression grew more serious as he saw a small stain of blood on the girl's sleeve.

Although it is not very conspicuous, with my current eyesight, I can be sure that it is blood.

And since he was already bleeding, it proved that this was not just ordinary bullying. Thinking of this, a frost gradually crept up in his eyes.

"No...just..."

Lu Xiaxue lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes, looking like a primary school student being scolded by her teacher.

She shook her head at first, but after hesitating for a while, she nodded, which made Li Qingfeng frown.

I couldn't help but wonder, has this girl been bullied to the point of not being able to speak out? It seems I should have come earlier.

However, Lu Xiaoxue, who lowered her head at this time, obviously had no idea what the person standing in front of her had reasoned.

She just kept hesitating and struggling, holding the corners of her clothes with both hands until her knuckles turned white.

It is enough to show her inner struggle at the moment.

Seeing that she remained silent, Li Qingfeng was about to pull her sleeve to check.

The girl looked up suddenly and grabbed his outstretched hand.

This sudden movement made Li Qingfeng stunned, but the force from his arm made him understand, and he was pulled out the door along with the other party.

He also waved to the police officers standing up behind him, asking them not to follow him.

Just like that, they watched the two men disappear from their sight, leaving the police officers in the store looking at each other in confusion.

The air was quiet for a moment.

It was Xiao Li, who was the one most familiar with Li Qingfeng, who spoke, with a hint of melancholy and reminiscence in his expression.

"Let's wait here first and give Taoist Li some personal space. After all, he's just a teenager..."

After saying this, Xiao Li sat back on the stool, picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he exhaled a breath of hot air from his mouth, with a sad expression on his face.

The remaining police officers looked at each other, then nodded to each other and sat back with an expression that said, "I understand."

“Flowers may bloom again, but people never become young again~ slurp~”

After suddenly sighing, Xiao Li took another sip of tea.

"Ah~"
