Chapter 19 – Good Intentions

Grandma Luo felt much comfort from her words. She patted Zhao Pianpian’s hand, “Yes, a long time ago, our neighborhood fortune-teller Old Sun, who people say officials and nobles looked for him to tell their fortunes when he was young, saw our Beibei playing in the yard one time. At that time, Beibei was still young, but he said that our Beibei was born to lead a luxurious life. To be honest, I’m not praying that she’ll be rich, I just want her to lead a safe and smooth life.

***

Luo Bei realized that while she didn’t know whether she was indeed born to lead a luxurious life, the people around her seemed to be fated to be wealthy and high-ranking.

Take for example Jiang Sihan who she had just run into.

The weather was getting colder, but he was wearing a loose sweater with light-colored jeans underneath. He was carrying a plastic bag filled with instant noodles.

Luo Bei admired him very much now. If someone told her to eat instant noodles every day and live in the basement for her dreams, she would definitely refuse.

Jiang Sihan was not as cold as he looked. When he saw Luo Bei, he was first to say hello, “Did you get off work?”

Because they interacted at Baby Chen’s man yue a few days ago, Jiang Sihan would now exchange a few words with her.

To tell the truth, even if she wasn’t aware of the plot, she had always thought that Jiang Sihan would succeed because he was different from other average tenants at first glance.

Especially when he was singing, he had the kind of temperament only celebrities had, that even Zhao Pianpian, the future madame CEO, didn’t have.

Luo Bei nodded. She saw Jiang Sihan cough several times and couldn’t help but remind him, “The weather has become colder recently and many people have caught a cold. You should take care of yourself more.”

Jiang Sihan responded with a smile.

Luo Bei wanted to ask him if he wanted anti-cold medicine since she had some at home, but she swallowed her words.

She wasn’t too close to Jiang Sihan. If he thought that she thought he was a charity case by giving him medicine, that wouldn’t be good.

Luo Bei returned home, only to find that Grandma and Zhao Pianpian had made a lot of dumplings this afternoon.

“It’s because I saw Grandma Wang making dumplings, so I wanted to make some myself too.” Grandma Luo served Luo Bei a hot bowl of dumplings, “This has the pork and leek stuffing that you like and also the pork and cabbage that Pianpian likes.”

Luo Bei finished her bowl of dumplings. Grandma Luo gave her a mission.

“We didn’t make much, no need to send some to every room.” Grandma Luo filled a large container with dumplings, “Give this to Xiao Jiang. He’s too thin. You young people like to diet and lose weight but crying would be no use later when you’ve overly abused it.

Luo Bei didn’t believe that Grandma didn’t know Jiang Sihan was poor and that was why he ate instant noodles every day. It was just that Grandma didn’t want to say it out loud. In a way, she was minding Jiang Sihan’s dignity.

Zhao Pianpian, who was eating her dumplings, also looked up and said, “That’s right. I think he’s lighter than me. He’d be really handsome if he gained some weight.”

… Luo Bei had no idea whether this person knew Jiang Sihan was poor.

The food container at home was one of those old-school rectangular ones. It could hold a lot and storing twenty to thirty dumplings was no problem.

Arriving at the basement, Luo Bei knocked on the door. Jiang Sihan was surprised to see Luo Bei.

Luo Bei could smell instant noodles from inside and asked, “Have you eaten?”

Jiang Sihan shook his head honestly, “No, I’m about to eat.”

“Perfect. My grandmother made dumplings and told me to deliver them to every room…” Luo Bei handed him the warm food container and gave him some cold medicine with it, “My grandma told me to give this to you.”

Luo Bei understood that between the good intentions of a young girl and the good intentions of an old grandmother, it was easier for people to accept the latter.
