Chapter 203 A bad first day
At eight o'clock the next morning, Lin Yi opened his eyes in a daze and looked at the unfamiliar room. He was in a daze for a while before realizing where he was.
However, compared to the previous encounter, this time it felt pretty good, at least it didn't have an exciting start.
He slowly got dressed and walked into the bathroom to wash up briefly.
You can still vaguely hear the sounds outside the door coming through the cracks.
"Little baby, little baby, what are you doing here?"
An old lady's voice rang.
"No, it's nothing." The two children replied in a low voice.
Then there was another sound of children running away quickly, messy and powerful.
"That's weird. Isn't it time to go to school?"
The old man murmured in confusion, stopped at Lin Yi's door, knocked on the door and shouted: "Xiao Lin, are you awake? The old lady has something to ask you for help."
The knocking at the door never stopped, as if it wouldn't stop until it got an answer.
Sure enough, he was still too happy.
There are no normal people here either.
Lin Yi sighed, recalled his identity, showed a standard smile that kept strangers away, and opened the door.
The cool breath from outside the door suddenly rushed in, making his exposed arms in short-sleeves feel cold.
"What's the matter, old man?"
Lin Yi asked tentatively.
Only now did he notice the old woman's dress in front of him.
She wore a soft and comfortable knitted sweater, which was simple yet fashionable.
The lower body is a pair of loose trousers, which is comfortable and comfortable.
Wearing a pair of soft embroidered cloth shoes on her feet, she looks very delicate.
Although the other person's hair is gray, it is neatly combed, and there is an exquisite hand-knitted corsage on his chest.
Her slightly older face was filled with a gentle smile, and her bright eyes were looking at Lin Yi tenderly.
"Xiao Lin, I would like to ask you to help me draw a portrait." The old woman said softly. She was also holding a small basket in her hand, and the contents in the basket were covered by a layer of white cloth.
A sweet smell came out from inside.
"Portrait?" Lin Yi was stunned. He remembered that although he was a painter now, he didn't seem to study portraits.
The old woman was keenly aware that Lin Yi seemed a little reluctant, and quickly opened the white cloth in the basket, revealing the food inside.
The red bean steamed buns, which are white, fat and soft looking, are radiating heat, as if they have been steamed not long ago.
"I guess you must have brought some home-made red bean buns before you had breakfast." The old woman smiled and put the small basket into Lin Yi's hand and continued: "I know you young people don't know anything. With cooking skills, ordering takeout every day is not a problem.”
"It's not nutritious and costs money. Why don't you try my craftsmanship? If you like it, I'll give you other delicious food tomorrow."
Lin Yi hugged the small basket that exuded a sweet smell, and his stomach growled.
He finally figured it out, and the old man was already prepared.
Instead of refusing directly and causing dissatisfaction on the other side, it is better to accept the offer and build a good relationship.
Maybe you can find out some useful information.
"Okay, then I'll try it." Lin Yi patted the small basket in his hand and smiled shyly at the old woman.
The old woman became happy when she saw this, "I'll leave the portrait to you. I'll ask the family member to come over and send you a photo later, and you can just take a picture of it."
"It's a small thing, you're welcome."
"Okay, then I won't waste your time and leave first."
"Okay, you go slowly."
"By the way, I will bring you breakfast at this time tomorrow. Don't spend money on ordering takeout. Being unclean is not good for your health."
The old woman finished speaking and left.
Lin Yi watched the other party walk into the room next door, which happened to be on his right.
The two children who were hiding nearby were attracted by the smell of red bean buns and quietly showed their heads, staring at the small basket in Lin Yi's hand.
"Would you like to try it?" Lin Yi picked up the red bean buns in a small basket and shook them. He had to find out as much information as possible before there were more people.
When everyone comes out later, there won’t be such a good chance.
At this time, the older child looked down at the younger child leaning next to him, and the two looked at each other.
The younger child had longing in his eyes, and it wasn't until the older child nodded that he happily ran towards where Lin Yi was standing.
"Pick your own." Lin Yi lowered his hand holding the small basket to make it easier for the children running over to take it.
As for the other older child, he walked slowly behind the running child.
"Brother, this steamed bun is so soft." The younger child carefully held the red bean steamed bun in his hand and raised it as if he wanted to give it to the child behind him first.
The older child gently pushed the other's little hand and said, "It's okay. You eat first."
After hearing this, the younger child put the red bean bun into his mouth, took a bite, and showed a happy smile on his face.
"Is it delicious?" asked the older child.
The younger child nodded, "It's delicious, so fragrant and sweet. It's just as good as what mom used to make."
"Then you eat more." The older child looked slightly sad when he heard the word mother, but he quickly calmed down.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed his little brother's head. He looked at the other person eating red bean buns with a happy smile, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Lin Yi saw the interaction and expressions between the two.
The two brothers have a good relationship, but there seems to be something wrong at home.
Most likely it has something to do with my mother.
Coupled with the old woman's whisper he heard from the door at first, the problem must be quite big.
That’s why children who should have gone to school didn’t go and were still hungry.
Is it because no one at home can cook for them?
What about their dad?
No other relatives?
"Don't you want to try one?" Lin pushed the small basket in front of the older child.
The elder brother shook his head slightly and took a step back, "No need, elder brother, this is specially given to you by Grandma Li."
Although the other party acted very resolutely, Lin Yi still noticed the look in the small basket while dodging.
Lin Yi thought about it and changed his approach, "I don't have a refrigerator at home. I can't finish these steamed buns by myself. If they break, it will be a waste of Grandma Li's efforts."
"Why don't you do me a small favor and solve it in a few steps?"
The older child didn't answer.
Instead, the younger child put down the half-eaten red bean bun and reached out to hold his brother's hand, "Brother?"
Looking at his brother's innocent and ignorant eyes, he remembered that there was no food at home.
The man had been out for a day and a night and had not come back, and the mother had already found a new family.
They are no longer children and can only figure out their own solutions.
"Thank you, big brother." The older child reached out and took the four red bean buns from Lin Yifen. His face turned slightly red and he said shyly: "My name is Xiaobao, and he is my younger brother Xiaobei. "
"We are residents on the fourth floor. If big brother has any news you want to know, you can come to me."
"We have lived here for half a year, and basically everyone in the apartment knows each other."
Xiaobao said softly. Although he is young, he has a smart mind.
I had overheard my parents' conversation before and knew that they were not allowed to live in this apartment for free.
It was arranged in advance for a recent event.
It's just that his parents are away now, so no one will send them food, and no one will arrange their lives.
They had nothing but a house to rest in.
Everything must be done according to the rules, and no one else can provide them with help. This was the rule set when they first moved in.
Everyone has their own tasks and lines of action, and cannot participate in other people's lines without reason.
What's more important is that they have no way to leave after the event starts. Access control is set up outside, and they can't get out without a card.
If you want to survive, you can only find a way in the apartment.
That's why he took his brother out in the morning to observe and see the current situation.
"Okay, I'll take note of it." Lin nodded.
Xiaobao took his younger brother and looked at Lin Yi again, then turned and left.
Standing at the door, Lin Yi watched the two children disappear at the top of the stairs. His ears moved slightly and he heard the movement next door.
Someone is getting up and getting ready to wash up.
He closed the door holding the small basket in his hand.
You should take the time to learn how to draw a portrait, otherwise you will be in big trouble when people come.
Lin Yi was reading the reference book while eating red bean buns.
In the end, I found that the fastest way to achieve success was to rely on props.
"I hope you won't disappoint me." Lin opened the mall that appeared after the system update and scrolled down to look down.
Find a prop that is almost suitable for the current situation in the skill props column on the third to last page.
But another problem arose during the exchange.
It says that all item redemptions require energy points.
What are energy points?
This new thing suddenly made Lin Yi feel dizzy.
As the page jumped, he realized that the so-called energy points were those energy fragments, memory fragments and energy sources that the system had absorbed before.
To put it bluntly, it is a kind of energy in the copy that is exclusive to the system.
The originally completed system did not need these, but now it is broken.
You have to rely on energy points to repair it.
The mall props in the system were unavailable, so Lin Yi could only turn his attention back to the forum.
After searching for a long time, no one sells such props.
Even after sending a transaction post, no one responded.
Strange.
Is it so difficult to develop a painting skill?
Time passed bit by bit, and Lin Yi still made no progress.
At the same time, there was another knock on the door.
dong dong dong.
Damn it, is it coming?
He can't draw yet.
"Hello, I'm a new resident, come and say hello."
The person outside the door explained while knocking on the door.
The voice was that of a strange man, and it seemed that he was not from Grandma Li's family.
The moment he opened the door, Lin Yi smelled a faint scent of vanilla from the other party, a bit like the smell of his favorite old-fashioned vanilla ice cream.
"Hello, my name is Ji Cheng. I am the resident who just moved in today. I live next door to you."
The young man stretched out his hand in a friendly manner and smiled politely at Lin Yi, "This is the chocolate I bought. It tastes good. I hope you like it."
Lin Yi took the chocolate, thanked him seriously, and looked at the person in front of him.
This young man has a tall and slender figure, a delicate face, and neatly combed short black hair.
His eyes were clear and bright, exuding confidence and courtesy.
When looking at Lin Yi, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile, which made people feel comfortable.
"My name is Lin Lin, thank you for the chocolate." Lin Yi blocked the other person's view of the room without leaving a trace. He remembered this person.
The group who had been sitting on the sofa with another girl last night, pretending not to be familiar with each other.
The young man's expression moved slightly, and he naturally withdrew his gaze, "You're welcome, I will trouble you to take care of me in the future."
"Wherever, I can't tell who will take care of whom." Lin Yi sent the person away with a smile.
Sure enough, everyone performed.
The person next door is a new neighbor, what about you?
He has no plot hint at all.
Not sure whether to leave the room or stay there next.
Everything is accepted passively.
This situation is not good for Lin Yi.
There must be something else he doesn't know about.
Lin Yi rummaged around the room for a while, searching every inch of the room, but he couldn't find what he wanted.
Not in the room?
He felt anxious that if it wasn't available he would have to look elsewhere.
However, it is easy to meet other people in this way. If you are suspected because of lack of information, it will be more than worth the loss.
"Where will it be?"
Lin Yi's eyes wandered back and forth in the room, and when he glanced at the bookshelf, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Not every book he flips through page by page, will there be anything missed?
Half an hour later, I finally found a thin layer of sandwich in one of the books.
He carefully opened the mezzanine and found an index of plot points about his identity as a painter hidden inside.
There is a line written on it: Find a neighbor, say hello and give him a gift that represents your heart.
"No wonder the man named Jicheng came here just now." Lin suddenly realized when he saw this, and he immediately moved a small pot of green bamboo from the balcony.
He must hurry up, otherwise he won't be able to find anyone later when everyone is done.
Based on the number of participants, one person will be alone and unable to complete this task.
However, as soon as he went out, he bumped into someone who was walking towards him.
With a bang, the small potted plant fell to the ground and fell apart.
Lin Yi also landed directly on his butt due to this fall, and his palms were directly rubbed with blood stains.
"Hey, what's going on with you? Can't you see clearly when you're walking?"
"What bad luck!"
The person who bumped into him not only did not apologize, but cursed impatiently, and then walked away without looking back.
Lin Yi could feel that there were several pairs of eyes looking over at that moment, all observing his every move.
