The Little Sister in the Cultivation World

Chapter 27 Yu Meiya

Song Zhiwei:……? ?

Seeing Su Jiaojiao's sweet smile, Song Zhiwei couldn't help herself and started to complain to her system in her mind: "System, is there something wrong with you?"

"Host~ Our systems don't have human emotions. We can only detect them. If we can't detect them, please look for the reason in yourself."

"Ha~"

This time, Su Jiaojiao really couldn't control her laughter.

"What's wrong?" Song Zhiwei found Su Jiaojiao's smile a little strange, so he asked.

Su Jiaojiao tilted her head and looked at Song Zhiwei seriously before saying, "Song Zhiqing is so gentle, like an older sister in my family."

"Oh? Really?" Song Zhiwei's eyes lit up when she heard that. She brushed away the hair by her ears and said softly, "Then you can treat me as your sister."

After saying that, he winked at Su Jiaojiao playfully.

Su Jiaojiao immediately frowned upon hearing this, and said with a look of rejection: "That won't work, my sister is my sister."

"Really? Okay then! But it doesn't matter, I treat you as my sister anyway." Although he felt a little regretful, his eyes were full of doting when he looked at Su Jiaojiao.

Hearing her say this, Su Jiaojiao's eyes curved with laughter!
"Really? I'm waiting!" This was said ambiguously.

"System, I want to buy props!" Song Zhiwei called the system in his heart while saying this.

"Hello host, what item would you like to buy?"

Song Zhiwei was silent for a long time before saying, "I am impatient. This is only her first day at the Youth Hostel. Forget it. We have a long way to go!"

"Good host."

At this time, Yu Meiya came out of the kitchen. Seeing the two of them talking and laughing in such a harmonious scene, she subconsciously pinched her clothes full of patches.

Suddenly I felt a little inferior. They both looked so beautiful when they smiled.

Maybe... I will never laugh so happily again.

"Come out? If they're out, let's go. They'll come and call us when dinner is ready." After saying that, Song Zhiwei turned around and walked into the room first.

Su Jiaojiao looked at her back and smiled meaningfully. So, Song Zhiqing, we... have a long way to go?
Yu Meiya inadvertently looked up and happened to see that Su Zhiqing was looking at Song Zhiqing with a strange look.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Su Jiaojiao turn around and wink at her. Her cute and innocent look completely disappeared from the strange feeling just now.

I suddenly felt that I must have seen it wrong.

"Yu Zhiqing and the others said they wanted to cook together. They came earlier than us, so they should have already divided the food. As for Cao Zhiqing, we should wait for the male educated youth to make arrangements. Or... we can just make do with each other?"

When she said the last sentence, it felt like someone was teasing her, which made her feel a little at a loss. The hand that was pinching the corner of her clothes turned into scratching, but she still nodded and responded softly.

Seeing her nod and agree, I felt a little embarrassed.

After scratching his hair, he still said with gritted teeth: "You may not know, I can't cook."

Su Jiaojiao blushed when she said this. For more than a thousand years, she had refined elixirs and boiled medicine, but when it came to cooking... she really had no talent!
After burning the kitchen a few times, I gave up and never touched it again. Anyway, I had already started fasting at that time.

It's not that I can't learn, but I can't do that now. I can't waste other people's food!
"So?" Yu Meiya frowned slightly, and there was a hint of expression on her indifferent face.

"What I mean is, you cook and I light the fire, so of course I won't let you work for nothing. How about I provide your food when it's our turn to cook?" He scratched his head again when he said this.

Yu Meiya paused while picking at the corner of her clothes, looked at Su Jiaojiao and asked seriously, "Are you serious? Or are you feeling sorry for me?"

Looking at Su Jiaojiao with her messy hair and delicate face, she felt extremely complicated.

Su Jiaojiao looked up at her with some confusion and asked, "Why should I feel sorry for you? Do you think I am someone who has extra sympathy?"

Yu Meiya: ...Okay! I was overthinking.

"No matter what you think, I still want to thank you."

Now saving a meal of food means having one more full meal, and I don’t have much money. If I hadn’t made a fuss that day, I might not have gotten even half of the subsidy given to educated youth going to the countryside!
I don’t know how I’m going to get through this winter with the few quilts I brought with me.

Thinking of this, Yu Meiya looked up at the sky slightly and forced back the tears that were about to fall.

It’s better not to go back to a home like that!

Just pretend you have no home!
Su Jiaojiao saw Yu Meiya crying and suddenly felt a little panicked. You know, she didn't cry even when they were in that situation at the train station.

"Don't cry, I said that because I really can't cook. If you don't want to..."

"I do." Yu Meiya interrupted her firmly before she could finish her words!

Suddenly Yu Meiya smiled at Su Jiaojiao.

"You saw it at the train station that day, didn't you? I used to have a very happy family. My mother was injured when she gave birth to me and couldn't have any more children, so I am an only child. And because I am their only child, they all loved me very much. But my father died when I was eleven years old!"

With some self-mockery and some hurt, he said to Su Jiaojiao, "But less than half a year after my father passed away, my stepfather moved in with his three sons. At first, he would stop his sons from bullying me, but within a year, I became a servant to their whole family."

Su Jiaojiao: "...So you..."

"So I don't plan to go back to that home. I don't even have fifty dollars on me. I have to survive here so I won't starve or freeze to death."

Yu Meiya looked at Su Jiaojiao seriously and said, "Working here has a fixed number. I know that I can't even get enough money and tickets for two quilts in the short term, so I can work for you, cook for you, wash your clothes, and please save my life."

Su Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows. This was very interesting!

Looking into Yu Meiya's eyes, he could not tell whether she was happy or angry. He said, "I think you shouldn't come to me for this kind of thing. Instead, you should go to the village chief. No matter what, the village chief can't really let you die here, right?"

Yu Meiya laughed when she heard that!

This laugh is different from the previous one. If the previous laugh was self-deprecating, then this laugh has some ambition in it.

"I saw you and your family at the train station that day. You were driving a car that most people don't have. I could tell they all loved you very much, so I wanted to follow you and fight for a future."

"Really?"

Su Jiaojiao smiled and shrugged before speaking: "I can't cook, so let's negotiate with you. You cook and I light the fire, and I'll provide you with food for the day. I think this is an equal transaction. As for washing clothes, I can do it myself, which means it's optional for me."

"You know what? What you hope to get is not proportional to what you pay. I can tell you honestly.
