At around 6 p.m., Junhei Matsumoto sent Qing back to He Palm's apartment safely.

Noriko followed behind Qing Anran and got out of the car without a sound.

Although Junhei Matsumoto is simple on weekdays, his brain is particularly bright at this time.

Noriko would get off here, which was something he had expected in the first place, so he didn't ask too much about it.

However, when the two of them got out of the car and were about to leave, Junhei Matsumoto suddenly remembered that the extra fee promised to Qing Anran had not been given to him.

rolled down the car window, poked out his fat head, and shouted at Qing Anran.

"Mr. Qing, please wait a minute!"

Qing Anran didn't go far, and when he heard Matsumoto Junhei calling him, he walked back quickly.

"Mr. Matsumoto, is there anything else?"

"Please wait for me!"

Junhei Matsumoto leaned over, laboriously opened the co-pilot's drawer, and took out an envelope from inside.

It was a brown paper envelope, bulging, and there was no writing on the cover.

Matsumoto Junhei handed the envelope to Qing Anran, and said politely: "This is the money promised to you earlier, it's not much, and it can be regarded as a heart." ”

"Mr. Matsumoto, you have taken good care of me." Qing Anran frowned, and excused himself: "It's useless, and we can't help with Liangtai's affairs, so we really can't take this money." ”

"Mr. Qing, don't shirk." Matsumoto Junhei smiled innocently, "There will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, and I hope that Mr. Qing will take care of it more when the time comes." ”

At Matsumoto's insistence, Qing Anran also accepted the envelope.

………………………………

Qing Anran was a little hungry, and there happened to be a ramen restaurant on the side of the road.

The name of this shop is Ichiraku Ramen, and it is a nice place.

His noodles are very strong, the soup is also very thick, and the eggs boiled with sugar heart are also sterile eggs.

Not only that, but after he came to this world, his first meal was also eaten here, so he has a soft spot for his family.

As usual, Qing Anran sat near the window, putting her backpack and umbrella aside.

The next step is to order food quietly.

"Boss, family portrait ramen and noodles!"

It's just that today is a little different, because there is a noisy guy sitting opposite.

Noriko is like a child who has never seen the world, and she looks very excited.

Qing Anran is not a ghost, so he doesn't know about their lives.

Because I don't understand, I'm curious.

In particular, I wonder if they need to eat.

"Miss Nishino, do you need to eat too?"

Although there were no customers in the store, Qing Anran still kept his voice very low, for fear of causing misunderstanding.

Jizi also understood Qing Anran's concerns, so he did the same, leaned in front of him, and whispered: "We also need to eat, and we have to eat two kinds of food." ”

Qing Anran frowned, indicating that he didn't quite understand.

He only knew that there were several meals a day, and it was the first time he had heard that there were different types of meals.

Speaking of the problem of eating, Noriko suddenly put on an embarrassed face.

Pointing to her little belly, then to her head.

"Lord Qing, don't you know, in addition to filling our stomachs, we also need to fill our heads, but it's miserable."

"What does it mean to fill your head?" Qing Anran felt that he had heard something strange, and guessed: "You can't say that it is spiritual food, right?" ”

Regarding Qing Anran's understanding, Jizi did not deny it, but he did not affirm it.

"Lord Qing, if you insist on saying that it is spiritual food, that is not wrong."

"It's just that it's not the kind of spiritual food that reads books and newspapers, but something else that can't be seen."

"For example, human fear, or whatever."

After Noriko's explanation, Qing Anran roughly understood.

In other words, in addition to consuming food, ghosts also need to consume human emotions as their own spiritual food.

Qing Anran remembered that there are often monsters in movies that use other people's fears as food, and in principle they seem to be similar.

Thinking of those movies, Qing Anran suddenly teased: "Then Miss Nishino, when you come out to be scary, do you also say some lines like 'The more scared you are, the stronger I am'?" ”

When Qing Anran spoke, he deliberately learned the tone of those idiots in the movie.

I didn't expect it to be very similar.

Noriko threw him directly: "Lord Qing, you seem to be a perverted ...... when you say this."

Qing Anran smiled and didn't say anything.

The ramen has been served, and Noriko's large ramen with all ten ingredients, including pork cartilage, saury, tempura, boiled egg with sweetheart, crab sticks, and radish sauce.

Qing Anran's order is much simpler, a regular ramen, only a small portion of pork cartilage is added.

Noriko ate very deliciously, tasted the ramen, stamped all the ingredients one after another, and took another sip of the noodle soup, with a satisfied face.

"By the way, Miss Nishino, do you usually eat alone?"

Qing Anran asked such a question, in fact, unintentionally.

However, hearing these words in Kiko's ears really made her a little uncomfortable.

Noriko buried her head in the ramen and ate the noodles in small bites.

After a long while, he whispered:

"Your Excellency, can you lend me your phone?"

"yes, okay."

Qing Anran saw that Noriko was a little depressed, so she didn't care about anything else, and directly unlocked the phone and handed it over.

"Miss Nishino, did I say the wrong thing?"

"Nope." Noriko muttered quietly, still keeping her head down.

Then, after a few strokes on the screen, he tapped his finger again, as if typing.

Soon, Noriko returned the phone.

It's just that she also deliberately pressed the home button and turned off the screen.

"Lord Qing, let's watch it after eating."

Noriko's voice became quieter and quieter, and she also had some crying.

Qing Anran put down her chopsticks, took out a few tissues, and gently put them under Jizi's eyes, neither wiping away her tears nor taking her hands away, just staying like that.

Why did Jizi cry and why did she borrow her mobile phone, Qing Anran had already guessed a rough idea.

Woke up the mobile phone screen, and Qing Anran saw that the website search engine was full of legends about the "Rip Girl".

At this time, Qing Anran completely understood.

The Noriko Nishino in front of her is actually the so-called urban legend in the market, and it is precisely because of her appearance that even other ghosts are reluctant to eat with her.

Presumably, these years have also been lonely.

Jizi found that after Qing Anran finished reading the phone, he didn't speak anymore, so he took the tissue in his hand and wiped away his tears.

"I'm sorry, my lord, but it affected your appetite......"

"It's better for me to leave."

Noriko wanted to get up, but was pulled by Qing Anran.

Qing Anran pressed Noriko on the seat, but he stood up.

He walked up to the uncle who was making ramen noodles and said sincerely, "Uncle, I'm really sorry, my friend is a little emotional, and I want you to make a family photo ramen again." ”

Qing Anran hadn't eaten in this store for a day or two, and the uncle was also very familiar with him, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, I know, hurry up and comfort other girls." ”

………………………………

When Qing Anran came back with the ramen, Kiko asked inexplicably, "Lord Qing, why...... Ordered another ramen? ”

Although she tried hard not to let herself cry, she still couldn't stop sobbing when she spoke.

Qing Anran didn't answer immediately, pushed the newly made ramen in front of her, and brought the original bowl to her side.

When these things were done, he opened his mouth.

"Miss Nishino, let's eat this bowl."

After Qing Anran finished speaking, he had already begun to bury his head in eating the remaining bowl of family photo ramen.

Noriko looked at the man in front of her and almost cried again.

Qing Anran obviously knew her identity, not only did she not dislike her, but also ate the bowl of ramen that she had tears on......

Isn't this just telling yourself that you don't mind her past?

Not only that, Qing Anran also ordered a new ramen for himself. Isn't it telling her that a new future has just begun?

Noriko still wanted to cry, but she finally held back.

Because, she has to work hard to finish the bowl of family photos in front of her!

………………………………

But in fact, Qing Anran didn't think about it so much at all.

In his eyes, there is only ramen now!

Just now, he handed out the paper towel at a good time, and only a few tears fell into the noodle soup, so it did not affect the original taste of the noodle soup.

Moreover, there are still a lot of ingredients in the bowl of noodles left by Noriko.

There is still a large half of the pork cartilage, and there is a small half of the crab stick, although the saury is gone, but the tempura is still there, presumably Noriko has been very concerned about her weight recently.

While eating, Qing Anran was about to cry.

This is the first time in half a year that he has eaten so richly!

After eating noodles, Qing Anran took out his mobile phone and opened the memo.

In the memo, there is a bill.

Water, electricity, boiler bills, remember clearly.

These things used to be a pain in his heart......

However, from today onwards, he will become a rich man!

Not only that, but he also had the honor of becoming Noriko's creditor.

Thinking of this, Qing Anran almost laughed out loud.

So, he decided to create a new entry!

Soon, new entries were built.

[Debtor: Noriko Nishino]

[Debt amount: 60,000 yuan]

[Amount description: Due to the failure of the bet, you need to pay the arrears of 60,000 yuan]
