I have big problems with my superpowers and my relationship

This is also the reason why Lu Chen chose this apartment.

Although it is in the city center, the adjacent roads are not main roads and are relatively quiet at night.

"Let it cool down a bit before drinking."

I put the cold medicine on the coffee table and picked up the fruit knife to cut the orange.

While cutting, Lu Chen organized his thoughts in his mind, determined to dispel Qingbao's concerns about money.

The latter was peeling a kiwi slowly and leisurely.

It usually takes a few days for kiwi fruit to be peeled after being brought home. The ones Zhou Yan gave me obviously had not gone through this process, so they were a little difficult to peel.

However, Qin Wanqing was not in a hurry. She picked the fruit little by little, and finally pulled out a perfect "skinless kiwi fruit".

If it were Lu Chen, he would have impatiently fed the yellow-haired creature directly.

"Lu Chen, look how well I peel it~"

Qin Wanqing held the kiwi fruit in front of him with a tissue under it: "Here, for you~"

"I will not eat."

Lu Chen looked up and said, "These fruits are bought for you."

"You eat first. There are so many. I can just peel one more."

"......Fine."

Lu Chen took the clean kiwi fruit and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Wow, Lu Chen, you have such a big mouth!"

Qin Wanqing couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw this, her eyes curved, but the amplitude was obviously smaller than before, probably due to the influence of her illness.

"I can swallow three of these little things in one bite."

Lu Chen swallowed the kiwi fruit whole, chewing it a few times before swallowing it.

"Is it tasty?"

Qin Wanqing picked up another one and peeled it: "Is it a little sour?"

Kiwi fruit is sour, but it tastes sweet when you peel it.

Lu Chen replied casually: "It's OK. A little sour means it has a lot of vitamin C, which is good for colds."

"Then I'll eat one too...by the way."

Qin Wanqing suddenly remembered something: "You didn't bring your phone with you when you went out just now, how did you pay?"

“Oh, I brought cash.”

"You're so weird, why do you bring cash?"

"Because I think all virtual things are unreliable. Although the probability is small, there is still a possibility of error."

Lu Chen said seriously, "So I always carry some cash with me just in case."

"That's it."

Qin Wanqing asked again: "How much did you spend on medicine and fruit?"

"Hmm? Why are you asking that?"

Lu Chen looked alert: "Does this have to be accounted for AA?"

Comrade Xiao Qin shook his head as a matter of course: "No, we have to split the fruit money, but the medicine is bought for me, so it should be charged to my account."

Wow, just based on what you said, if I were to shoot a video and post it on Tik Tok, it would definitely become a trending topic tomorrow.

"There's no need to calculate so carefully."

Lu Chen found a breakthrough point and suddenly frowned: "You will make us look unfamiliar."

"Ah? But I don't want to take advantage of you."

"So are these things you bought for me also charged to my account?"

Lu Chen pointed casually in a circle, pointing at items including but not limited to the newly added clothes drying rack on the balcony, the fruit plate on the coffee table, the carrot-shaped toy in the yellow-haired dog's kennel, and the small cloth bag above the shoe rack for keys.

All of the above were purchased by Qin Wanqing gradually, and according to Lu Chen's guess, the former was definitely paid for by herself, and not from the "public account".

"Well, there is no..."

Sure enough, after being outmaneuvered by Lu Chen, Comrade Xiao Qin immediately became hesitant.

"But these are just small things, worthless..."

"So is this box of medicine valuable?"

Lu Chen immediately asked back, "They are all cheap things, why don't you pay me when you buy them for me, but I pay you so clearly when I buy them for you?"

Huh? Yes.

why?

Blinking, Qin Wanqing, who was thinking about this question for the first time, was also very confused.

She thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so she had to compromise weakly:

"Okay, I understand..."

"Know what?"

"I won't bother with you like that in the future...but it won't be too expensive!"

“How much is expensive?”

"50... No, 30!"

Qin Wanqing thought for a moment and gave a standard: "If you buy me something worth more than 30 yuan, I still have to put it on my own account!"

"..."

30?

In this day and age where a movie costs 50 bucks, this woman won't let me buy her anything over 30 bucks? ?

That’s ok, at least it’s progress.

Lu Chen curled his lips, but was stunned for a second.

No, why do I suddenly feel that my behavior is a little strange?

Everyone else is trying to find ways to get their girlfriends to spend less money, but I'm actually trying so hard to persuade Qin Wanqing to spend more?

"Lu Chen, why are you silent?"

Across the coffee table, Qin Wanqing looked a little bewildered: "Do you think 30 is too low?"

"But the things I bought for you were all very cheap. If I bought more..."

"Stop, stop, stop. Stop it."

Waving his hand to end Comrade Xiao Qin's explanation of "not taking a single needle or thread from her boyfriend", Lu Chen said helplessly:

"Standards are not important. I'm not saying this to bargain with you."

"I mean, I'm not short of money now, so you don't have to be so frugal..."

You have money, but I do.

Qin Wanqing muttered quietly in her heart that the values ​​she had developed since childhood made it impossible for her to equate "her boyfriend's money" with "her own money".

It was also because of this that she had never advised Lu Chen to be frugal since he became rich.

Whether it was treating colleagues to a meal, buying an expensive birthday present for a good friend, or taking a taxi when there was a subway, she felt that she had no right to interfere with how Lu Chen wanted to spend his money.

Although I still feel sad sometimes, it’s not because “Lu Chen spent the money that should have belonged to me”.

It's just pure heartache, exactly the same mentality as when I saw Song Qiao spend hundreds of dollars to buy those action figures whose use I didn't know.

To be honest, based on this point alone, if Qin Wanqing was not mute, she would definitely be the well-deserved "best girlfriend" candidate in the hearts of all boys.

But strictly speaking, Comrade Xiao Qin had also thought about "destroying Lu Chen's gold coins".

About seven or eight times.

The first time was this morning and the most recent was right now.

"..."

Looking at Lu Chen who was still chattering, her eyelashes suddenly trembled. Qin Wanqing was still peeling kiwi fruit, but her eyes glanced at the canvas bag in the corner of the sofa.

There was an IOU in it that had been written on the train but had not been taken out yet.

In order to relieve her parents' pressure, the only way she could think of was to borrow money from Lu Chen.

Comrade Xiao Qin didn't know how much money Lu Chen had, but he guessed that the 40,000 yuan Lu Chen left with him would probably not be used in the short term.

She wanted to borrow half, which was 20,000 yuan.

In this way, as long as I work hard to find some part-time jobs and draw more illustrations, I won’t need my parents’ money for the various checkups before the operation.

Qin Wanqing knew that Lu Chen would lend her the money, and she had already made a "repayment plan" for the next year... probably the kind that she would be able to pay it back as long as she didn't die on the operating table.

But even so, she still didn't have the courage to speak.

"No, what's wrong with you?"

Suddenly, just when Qin Wanqing was feeling uneasy and didn't know whether she should borrow money from Lu Chen, the latter finally noticed that something was wrong with her.

"Ah, nothing, nothing..."

Comrade Xiao Qin quickly shook his head and handed over the second kiwi fruit he had just peeled: "Here you go..."

"Ok?"

Lu Chen looked suspicious: "I've already eaten one."

"Oh, I, I forgot..."

Qin Wanqing tried to use the cold as an excuse to cover up her panic: "I feel a little dizzy..."

"I don't think it's a dizzy problem."

Lu Chen's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He followed Qingbao's gaze, which became more and more obvious the more he tried to hide it, and immediately locked onto the canvas bag with a cartoon crocodile pattern printed on it in the corner of the sofa.
