Chapter 78: Making A Deal With A Witch

Shen had dinner together with Sister Mei, Shuren, Eunha, and Ming. The guy shamelessly followed them to Uncle Hou's stall. Of course, no one was going to drive him away when he followed them.

"Hello, my name is Eunha. Nice to meet you," Eunha bowed her head toward Uncle Hou's daughter. For the first time, the little witch was at loss. She did not know what to do with the overly polite Eunha.

Lin Lin looked toward her father and her mother behind the counter. The duo did nothing but encourage their daughter to return the introduction, "H-hello, m-my name is Huo Lin. Nice to meet you too," the little witch became fidgety.

The reason Eunha was overly polite was that she finally met someone at her peers after months of staying in the hospital and living with the adults. She was trying to make a good impression on the potential friend and did not realize that it caused Lin Lin at loss.

"I think she does not like me" Eunha muttered in a low voice as she hugged Shen's thigh. Lin Lin heard that, she wanted to say that was not that the case. Little Witch Lin Lin opened her mouth but no words came out from her mouth. She truly did not know what to do.

Shen shook his head and rubbed Eunha's hair, "Silly girl, who says Lin Lin dislikes you? She just shy, right Lin Lin?" Eunha took a peek at Lin Lin. The latter was nodding her head and said, "Y-yes," Both usually interacted with the adult, so they did not know how to treat their peers.

"I have ordered everything, let's eat. Do you want to join us too Lin Lin?" Yu Mei came over and broke the awkwardness between the two little girls. Under her mother's encouragement, Lin Lin joined them at the table. They chose the corner table since the stall was quite crowded, almost full.

Of course, the awkwardness between the two girls did not last long. When they tried to converse slowly, they started to get familiar with each other and naturally got closer. Mostly it was Lin Lin who asked Eunha about the hospitalization. Little Witch Lin Lin was curious about life in the hospital.

Just like that, they ended up staying until nine-thirty. Both were too excited to share their stories until they yawned. It seemed both could get tired as well. While Yu Mei and Shuren brought Eunha back, Shen stayed behind to speak with Lin Lin. He squatted in front of the little girl and smiled, "Lin Lin, do you want to make a deal with me?"

As Eunha was no longer here, Lin Line reverted to her old self, acting like an adult again, "A deal?" she rubbed her chin, pretending to be in deep thought, "I am all ear,"

"Do you know that Eunha will enter the same kindergarten as you the day after tomorrow?" Shen asked the little girl. Lin Lin's round eyes widened in surprise as a smile started to form on his lips. She shook her head.

"Now you know. Let's make a deal, can you watch Eunha for Brother Shen? Don't let other kids bully her or let her run around, you know right, Eunha has a disease so she can't get tired," Lin Lin nodded her head. She had heard that from Eunha directly since she asked her new friend why did she get hospitalized.

"You help me to watch Eunha, in return, I will bring a cake every week. Eunha likes Tiramisu, what about you?" Shen offered the deal.

When Lin Lin heard the word cake, her eyes shone brightly. However, she did not respond to him as she glanced at her mother and father. Noticing none of them looked toward her and Brother Shen, only then she replied, "I love tiramisu, but I love chocolate cake and cheesecake as well. I like cupcakes and strawberry cake as well, I love cakes." Lin Lin responded enthusiastically.

"Then I assume we have a deal?" Tang Shaoyang offered his pinky finger toward Lin Lin. Once again, Lin Lin looked toward her father and her mother. Noticing they did not look toward her, she reached Shen's pinky finger, "Deal!"

Shen smiled widely and Lin Lin also smiled widely. Dale watched everything from the side and shook his head. His friend was pretty good with a kid. After making the deal, Shen and Dale bid farewell to Uncle Hou and his wife.

Shen returned to his apartment and took a glass of water with him to the room. Then he logged into the game. When he arrived at the village, No one was there. However, he could hear the clanking sound from Brother Jiang's house.

He looked toward ZhenZhen's house and saw smoke came out of her house. She was doing something and maybe experimenting with the new menu. Tang Shaoyang came over and knocked on the wooden wall since the house did not have a door.

"ZhenZhen, can I have my food? I am going to start the training," He needed to fill up his hunger and also need the Endurance and Agility Buff.

"Coming! Coming! Just wait at the table, does Sneaky want the food as well?" ZhenZhen's voice rang from the house, "Yes, please make an extra for him as well."

After that, he returned to the table. Not long after he sat, Dale came out of his house, "Have you ordered the food?" Sure enough, he asked about food as soon as he came out of the house.

Shen nodded, "Mnn, ZhenZhen is cooking the food."

Dale got into his seat and started chatting with Shen. They had a lot to talk about, mostly Dale who boasted that he had several girlfriends when he was in the UK. Shen was not interested in the story, but he did not have another person to talk with. Fortunately, ZhenZhen's cooking speed was fast as they did not have to wait too long before she served the roasted fist.

Shen immediately finished his meal and started the training again. Even though he said he would focus on hunting the monsters, but it was night. He did not want to wander around at night only to be killed by the monster. He would rather spending his time increasing his status with training.

That was how Shen filled his days, farming exp at the noon in-game time and training status at the night in-game time.
