Douluo: Starting with Qian Renxue as a sparring partner

This time Melissa didn't avoid his hand.

And her face turned red.

Chiba touched it casually a few times and then stopped.

Melissa felt a sympathizing connection with him.

Both parents are dead and they are all orphans.

No, I have at least two brothers, but he is alone.

So he is more pitiful than himself!

"Then do you have any other relatives?"

Chiba shook his head: "Not in this world."

That is no more!

Melissa didn't know how to comfort him, so she walked in silence.

The two walked for a while, and then Qianye said: "By the way, Melissa, I will be alone when I go back, so why don't I go to your place to have dinner with you tonight?"

Melissa: "..."

It's not that I don't want to, it's just that my family's situation doesn't allow me to eat with more mouths.

Moreover, she did not have the final say on this matter alone. After all, it was not her who made the money in the family, but her eldest brother Benson. It was definitely not good to take people home for dinner on her own initiative.

One meal or two wouldn't be a problem, and she was helpless.

"I think it's okay!" Melissa finally couldn't bear to refuse him, so she agreed.

Chiba naturally saw the hesitation in her heart and understood her family's predicament. Naturally, he would not blame her, nor would he eat and drink for free, and planned to give her extra meals.

He had already bought the food and put it in the ring storage. He could just take it out later without Melissa before going to her house.

Not much to say.

……

It took Melissa more than an hour to get home this time. Normally, a normal walk of five to 10 minutes would be enough, mainly because she wasted a lot of time on the road with Chiba.

boom~

When she opened the door, a scent of fragrance hit her nostrils.

Klein heard the noise and walked out immediately. He was very happy to see Melissa back: "Melissa, I seem to be half an hour late today. Did something happen on the way?"

He knew that Melissa must have been reluctant to take the carriage and walk back, which was why it took so long.

In the past, it only took five to 10 minutes. Today, it took more than half an hour, so I naturally worried about her safety.

Melissa shook her head: "No, it was just because of him that it took some time."

"Who... is he?" According to Klein's memory, Melissa didn't seem to have many friends, so she asked this question.

"Good morning, that person in the morning is Chiba, who lives in the apartment next to ours. You also saw him this morning. He also goes to Tingen Technical School. I happened to meet him when I went to school this morning, and he also walks to and from school. So we walked back together.”

That's it!

Klein felt relieved when he heard that Chiba was her classmate at the same school: "That's good! We have a companion to help each other. The distance is not short. He happens to be a boy, so it is safer for two people to walk together."

Melissa nodded and smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen again: "Klein, have you cooked yet?"

In her opinion, her second brother didn't know how to cook before, so she was inevitably curious.

Klein smiled and said, "Yes, I think it's already very late since you came back from walking, so I'll do it myself. Now that you're back, I've also prepared the meal."

After speaking, he also looked at Melissa's face, fearing that she would be unhappy.

But Melissa wasn't angry, she just stayed blank and looked at him again. Could he really cook?

"Now that you're back, go wash your hands and eat." Klein said with concern.

Melissa nodded, took off her coat and went to the sink to wash her hands.

Due to the limited conditions of the apartment, the wash basin, toilet, and bathing area are all shared by tenants on the first floor, which is naturally very inconvenient.

But there is nothing that can be done. At least the three siblings cannot move to a better apartment with their current income.

Here, Klein has already served the prepared meal on the table.

Lamb stew with onions, potatoes, and peas is made in a hodgepodge style and placed on a large plate in the middle of the table.

The rest is black bread, a piece for each person.

It is said to be lamb stewed with peas, but in fact there are not a few pieces of meat, but mostly potatoes, onions and peas.

Her family's current living situation is that Benson is the only one who earns a small amount of money, and the pension is not much. He has to pay for the tuition of two people and the daily living expenses of three people. He can only save and save, and he can't even afford it for a month. A few meals of meat can only be said to satisfy the craving once in a while.

Usually the food is mainly black bread and whole grains.

You can eat potatoes, onions, and tomatoes, but you can’t afford meat.

As long as you have a job in the future, you can reduce the burden on your family and earn more money.

In this way, Melissa will be the only one left to go to school, which will be much better, and she won't have to save so much.

"Melissa, how about you try my cooking skills?" Klein looked at his sister and smiled.

hmm~

She nodded obediently, then forked a piece of potato and put it in her mouth. Only then did she realize that the potatoes she made before were far worse than the ones he made.

This gave her a new understanding of Klein. She must know that this second brother could not cook for her before.

She forked another piece of stewed lamb and put it in her mouth. The aroma of the meat, the tenderness, and the juice all aroused her taste buds.

Yummy, so delicious!

The pea stew and lamb that Melissa made him made were completely different from what she made herself.

I never expected that my second brother, who was not very good at cooking before, would surpass my own cooking skills for many years.

She was touched and blushed for a moment. After all, she despised her second brother before, but seeing that he had changed now and cared so much about her, her attitude towards him also changed.

Melissa, who couldn't eat meat more than a few times a month, was completely satisfied to have such delicious lamb stew in her mouth.

boom! boom! boom!

A sudden knock on the door interrupted the brother and sister's dinner time.

Klein was a little nervous, and he didn't know who it was. The original owner committed suicide, the contents of the pistol and notepad at home, and the Extraordinary police. It would be too bad if the police came to the door.

"By the way Klein, I almost forgot!" Melissa heard the knock on the door and immediately remembered something.

"What?" Klein asked.

"It's Chiba. He just said it was boring to be alone at home, and he agreed with me to come to our house to have dinner together." Melissa said and ran to open the door.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't a policeman.

As for Chiba, in his opinion, he is just a student at Tingen Technical School. He doesn't think he has any bad intentions at all. He is just his sister Melissa's senior. It's no big deal to come to his house as a guest.

Klein immediately bought an extra set of cutlery and a piece of black bread, and just made do with it.

On this condition, there is nothing more that can be done to entertain him.

Melissa opened the door, and sure enough, Chiba was standing outside the door, holding a bag in her hand. She didn't know what was in it. Her face turned red, and she stepped aside to let him in.

Generally speaking, she rarely has guests at home, and the house is too small, so she is not equipped to entertain guests. Others are unwilling to come, and she is embarrassed to ask others to come to her home.

"Please sit down, Mr. Chiba!" Klein stood up and greeted him.

Um~

Chiba responded and sat down. Melissa had closed the door and returned to her seat.

"Please dine!"

"it is good!"

Chiba was not polite and started to eat. The black bread tasted average.

The lamb stewed with peas tasted okay, so I ate a few more pieces.

"That's right! When I first arrived at your house, I didn't have much to bring as a gift. I just brought a delicious meal and a bottle of red wine."

"Mr. Chiba, this is too polite!" Klein said a little embarrassed.

"It's okay. You invite me to dinner. I should bring some food." Chiba said, taking a large paper bag out of the bag under the table and placing it in the middle of the table.

He took out another bottle of red wine and put it on the table.

He smiled and looked at the brothers and sisters: "Let's have a drink together?"

"Okay, I'll get the cup." Klein is also a cheerful person and immediately went to get the cup from the kitchen cabinet.
