Jiang Qiuqiu replied directly to the tofu shop owner, asking what the person nearing the end of their life wanted to eat. Since it was still early, she figured she could bring the food over herself.
A faithful ssenger, the owner quickly dialed his comrade’s terminal.
After a brief conversation, the owner said, "They said that as long as you’re the one who made it, he’ll love anything."
"Then I’ll just pick out a few things to bring over."
It was still early, and Mo Si was out on business today. She could go out by herself and treat it as a walk.
She opened the temperature-controlled container. With the recent launch of the physical delivery service, the container didn’t have as much food stored in it as before.
But thankfully, there was still so variety.
She picked out a few dishes. Her previous donations had all been for the small animals, so Jiang Qiuqiu had always chosen non-spicy dishes or Rice.
But today’s recipient was a person, so she could also bring along so spicy and sweet-and-sour dishes...
’Hmm, how many people were at the rescue center last ti? Seems like there were about ten.’
Going with the idea of one dish per person, Jiang Qiuqiu took out ten different dishes in total. So had smaller portions, so she added a little extra to them.
The dishes were quickly placed into the temperature-controlled container. With everything ready, Jiang Qiuqiu headed out!
She walked in the lead, with a robot following behind her, carrying a thermal container.
What Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t know was that less than two minutes after she left, a figure suddenly appeared in the canopy of a passing tree. The figure watched the direction Jiang Qiuqiu was heading and followed her.
If Jiang Qiuqiu had seen this, she definitely would have quipped, ’Now I finally get why they plant so many leafy trees in this neighborhood.’
-
It was only 9:10 in the morning when Jiang Qiuqiu arrived at the rescue center.
This was the first ti she had arrived so early. The rescue center was already open, and the young man who always greeted her was there as well.
With her robot assistant in tow, she had just stepped through the door when the young man stood before her again, his expression full of excitent. "Miss Jiang, you’re here!"
"Thank you so much for taking ti out of your busy schedule to co see us!"
Jiang Qiuqiu smiled. "There’s no need for such pleasantries. I’m just here to visit a patient."
"Right... about that." Little Qing looked at Jiang Qiuqiu. "Miss Jiang, would it be possible to have a word with you in private?"
’Things suddenly seem to be getting a little complicated.’
’Just... for donating food? He wants to speak in private?’
She was tempted to refuse, especially after having just been ambushed by an assassin. But as her gaze swept the room, she noticed that by the doorfra, every single employee of the rescue center was watching her.
The young receptionist himself also looked tense and deadly serious, as if this really were sothing major.
"Alright. Are we going to the upstairs conference room again?"
"Mhm!"
...
Little Qing had hidden the truth from the tofu shop owner, but he never intended to hide it from Jiang Qiuqiu.
The mont they entered the conference room and the door was shut, just as Jiang Qiuqiu was taking a seat, Little Qing suddenly stood up and began bowing to her. He bowed several tis in a row, his head bent extrely low.
Jiang Qiuqiu imdiately shot to her feet and grabbed his arm to stop him. "What’s wrong?"
"I’m sorry, Miss Jiang, we lied to you!" Little Qing’s apology was utterly sincere. "But we didn’t an to deceive you."
"The reason we asked you to bring food this ti wasn’t because soone wanted to eat it. It’s because... you’ve brought food over twice before, and after we ate so by accident, we felt that your cooking seems to contain so kind of special ability."
