Perhaps because he had been greedy for too long, Su Qiong, who looked slim and slim, destroyed two roast ducks in one go.
Lin Fu didn't eat much and kept silently giving Suqiong burritos...
The duck bones that Su Qiong had chewed cleanly on the table formed a small mountain of bones. When Lin Fu went to check out, Su Qiong transferred the mountain of bones to a used disposable paper plate and wiped the table with paper towels. Gather the residue together and sweep it into the paper tray.
After doing this, Su Qiong walked to Lin Fu and thanked him seriously: "Thank you for treating me to roast duck. I am very happy."
A smile of gratitude and satisfaction from the heart, hanging on that delicate and childish face, was like an arrow in the chest.
"...You're welcome." Lin Fu turned around calmly and patted his heart.
When the two of them went home, Lin Fu's car, whose engine had mysteriously broken down, had been towed away. Xiao Zhang called a car from the company and was waiting for Lin Fu in the car.
"Then I'm going back." Su Qiong said obediently, "Goodbye."
Lin Fu waved his hand coolly and said thoughtfully: "See you tomorrow."
Su Qiong hummed happily and scampered upstairs.
Lin Fu's eyes followed Su Qiong's thin figure until he disappeared into the dark corridor.
Xiao Zhang opened the car door and reminded Lin Fu, who was lying motionless on the ground like a log, "Mr. Lin, please get in the car."
The self-control that our Mr. Lin has always been so proud of seems to be about to collapse.
"...let's go." Lin Fu whispered.
Xiao Zhang:…
Our Mr. Lin seemed to be moved to tears by this innocent and unpretentious boy.

On this day, Su Qiong pushed a cart on the construction site for a whole day and went home in disgrace carrying a few bags of vegetables.
Although it was hard work, the food I bought with one paycheck was enough to last for several days, and I could pay all the arrears in utility bills in two more days of work.
Su Qiong thought, washing vegetables by the sink with a smile on his face.
It's a pity that I can't work for a long time. If the poor god stays at the construction site for a long time, the construction may be unfinished.
There was the newly bought washbasin in the sink. When the basin was filled with vegetable washing water, Su Qiong took the water to the toilet and poured it into a larger basin for flushing the toilet and mopping the floor.
After pouring the water twice, the dishes were washed.
Su Qiong made fried cabbage, served it on a plate with a small hole missing, put a steamed bun on the edge of the plate, and then sat on the bed holding the plate to eat.
After eating for a while, poor Xiao Suqiong remembered the roast duck last night.
It smells so good... Su Qiong recalled, licked his lips, and then pulled out a torn book from under the pillow.
— "666 Examples of Selected Pork, Beef and Mutton Home-cooked Dishes"
Su Qiong opened the book on his knees, flipping through the pages, staring at the photos of large pieces of meat in the book, eating fried cabbage and swallowing dry steamed buns.
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
Su Qiong put the half-eaten meal and books on the bed and ran to answer the door: "Who is it?"
"It's me." Lin Fu coughed lightly.
Su Qiong opened the door and looked at Lin Fu in confusion, as if asking, "Why are you here again?"
Lin Fu raised the two bags in his hands and showed a gentle smile: "I'm here to deliver something."
"Oh... please come in." Su Qiong turned sideways and let Lin Fu in.
Lin Fu entered the room, carefully placed the two bags in his hands on the stool that was missing a leg, then took out a white rectangular box from one of the bags, opened it and showed it to Su Qiong.
Inside the box is a silver-white iPhone.
Su Qiong opened his eyes wide and shouted in surprise: "Oh..."
Lin Fu calmly explained: "You don't have a mobile phone, so it's very inconvenient to contact you."
Su Qiong looked at the mobile phone sadly, lowered his head and fiddled with his slender fingers: "But... this mobile phone costs several thousand. It is such an expensive thing. I'm afraid I will break it."
"Impossible, this is the new one I bought today." Lin Fu took the phone out of the box, turned it on, dialed his number, and handed it to Su Qiong, "There is a phone card inside, you can use it directly."
Su Qiong was still hesitating: "But..."
Lin Fu frowned and pretended to be angry: "I will be unhappy if you don't use it."
"Don't be upset, I'll give it a try." Su Qiong carefully held the phone with his fingertips, his eyes filled with worry and joy.
Lin Fu's cell phone rang. It was Su Qiong's new cell phone. Lin Fu picked up the call: "Hello?"
Su Qiong listened to Lin Fu's calm voice coming from the receiver of the mobile phone and from the opposite side of him at the same time. He hesitated and said awkwardly: "Hello...?"
It almost looked like he had never made more than a few phone calls in his life.
"Look, everything is normal." Lin Fu raised the corners of his lips and smiled confidently.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the phone screen in Su Qiong's hand instantly went blank.
Lin Fu's confident smile froze at the corner of his lips:...
"Ah!" Su Qiong anxiously pressed back and forth on his phone, asking with a glimmer of hope, "What's wrong? Is the battery out of battery?"
Lin Fu said with difficulty: "...it's fully charged."
The phone screen struggled to flicker a few times before going completely black.
Lin Fu took the phone back from Su Qiong and tried to turn it on, but there was no response at all.
"I'm sorry..." Su Qiong drooped his head listlessly as if he had done something wrong, "I broke it again."
This time, even if Lin Fu didn't believe in evil, he still couldn't convince himself.
"I don't blame you." Lin Fu threw the broken mobile phone into the box, let out a heavy sigh of regret, thought for a moment, and asked, "Expensive things break when you touch them? What about the inexpensive ones?"
Su Qiong shook his head: "It's not bad if it's not expensive, but mobile phones are quite expensive to me."
"I have an idea." Lin Fu's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up another takeout bag, shook it, and said very naturally, "We'll talk about it tomorrow. Let's have a meal with me first."
"Actually, I'm eating..." Su Qiong pointed to the fried cabbage, half a steamed bun, and the cookbook on the bed.
Lin Fu glanced at the bed and understood instantly.
"Why did you make a special trip to my house for dinner?" Su Qiong asked timidly.
Lin Fu didn't answer, but turned around with his back to Su Qiong and took a few deep breaths.
Su Qiong gently touched his back: "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine." Lin Fu turned around calmly.
"Your eyes are a little red." Su Qiong said worriedly.
"I'm hungry." Lin Fu said concisely.
Su Qiong:…
Lin Fu strode to Su Qiong's bed with a takeout bag, took out the delicious food inside, put it on the bed with a layer of napkins, and whispered: "So why don't you come over and eat with me soon?"
"Ah, okay." Su Qiong responded vaguely.
"Eat." Lin Fu picked up several pieces of meat and vegetables with chopsticks and put them in Su Qiong's lunch box.
Su Qiong ate happily, laughing while eating. If a tail were put on his butt now, it would definitely shake like a fan.
Lin Fu was silent and kept putting meat into Su Qiong's lunch box.
No matter what, I have to buy him a table tomorrow, Lin Fu thought sadly.
