Is it possible to repay favors without balls?

Sesame Paste is a coquettish cat.

It likes to be touched on the head, and it snorts when it is touched. While snoring, it raises its head up, expecting Ye Xi to touch its chin again.

If Ye Xi doesn't touch it, it will serve itself, turning around Ye Xi, rubbing its face and body back and forth on Ye Xi, enjoying itself.If Ye Xi glanced at it at this time, it would surely fall down on the spot, revealing its belly.

Then let out a soft cry.

It seems to know how cute it is, and that no one can resist such a temptation.

That was a small but fulfilling moment of happiness in Ye Xi's poor, confused and monotonous life.

When Sesame Paste turned into a taller man than Ye Xi, he still kept the same preference.

But Ye Xi couldn't reproduce the softness in her heart.

In order not to disappoint his cat, he still raised his hand, symbolically touching the soft hair of the sesame paste twice.

Feels just as good as last night.But now the sun is just right and the whole world is too bright, he can't hide his expression, nor can he hide the gentle smile that is so close in front of him.

Ye Xi quickly withdrew her hand, picked up the book, and lowered her head.

He read it softly.

"Such a conception of God, which satisfies our judgments about nature, can never be derived from the mere theoretical principles on which the use of reason follows, and which are the only principles upon which natural theology rests."

"What does that mean?" Sesame Paste asked.

Ye Xi didn't answer.He thought to himself, it's over, and I can't understand it anymore.

Raising cats can nourish life, but it also really affects learning.

Sesame Paste didn't mind his silence.He looked satisfied after being touched on the head, sat quietly beside him, and soon dozed off little by little under the sun.

Raising cats not only affects learning, but also hurts money.

At noon, Ye Xi went to the small restaurant opposite the community to buy two fried noodles.

He rarely orders takeout.Prices in this city are on the high side, and each order of takeout costs at least five yuan for shipping, which is not cost-effective.

Buying yourself to save money also has disadvantages.There are only a few shops nearby, and there are no new tricks.

Ye Xi doesn't care much, as long as he fills his stomach.For daily expenses, he can always save money.

He is used to keeping accounts and will give himself a detailed expenditure plan.How much money is used for food, how much money is used for transportation, and how much money is spent on sesame paste every month are all set up.It can be saved, but not exceeded.The saved money is saved, half of it is used to buy learning materials, and the other half is used to buy canned sesame paste.

Now, his plans for this month had to be scrapped.

The money for cat food and cat litter is wasted, and the cost of catering has doubled.He's about to see a huge hole in his funds.

He seems to be unable to keep this cat.

While eating fried rice noodles, he held his mobile phone with the other hand and revised the schedule back and forth, trying to deduct a portion of the food expenses.

To go to University C, you need to take two buses, and there is a transfer discount. It costs [-] yuan for a one-way trip and [-] yuan for a round trip.After buying the weekly card of the payment platform, you can get a [-]% discount and save [-] cents, which amounts to [-] yuan and [-] cents a day.

If you change to ride a shared bicycle, it will take about 35 minutes one way.The cost of renting a car within half an hour is RMB [-], and an additional [-] cents is charged every half hour.In this way, it costs three yuan a day to go back and forth.If you can ride faster and compress the time to half an hour, you can save three yuan and seventy cents a day.

Calculated in 20 days, you can save 74 yuan per month.Fried noodles cost eight yuan, which can buy almost nine servings, which can solve his dinner or lunch for a week.He set ten yuan for his daily food expenses, because on working days, he can still use the snacks and unused bread in the store that are beyond the selling time.

His part-time salary is 25 yuan per hour, which is about 850 yuan a month.And the rent accounted for [-] yuan of it-this was already the cheapest house he could find except group rental houses.

The ability to survive so far without being starved to death is all due to the support of my parents and the savings I saved from two years of work.

Parents themselves are not well-off, and they don't support him to resign and take the postgraduate entrance examination. The money they give is only enough for him to eat and wear.

But now, with an extra mouth, it's stretched.

"What's the matter?" Sesame Paste sitting opposite him showed a curious expression.

Ye Xi glanced at him, shook his head, and put the phone in his pocket.

Sesame Paste still stared at him: "Have you encountered any trouble?"

"Do you like this?" Ye Xi asked.

Sesame Paste nodded: "It's delicious!"

Ye Xi smiled at him, lowered his head and continued stuffing rice noodles into his mouth.

Sesame Paste didn't get a response, and felt a little lonely, looking for something to say: "I can do this too."

"It's amazing." Ye Xi said.

Then he jerked his head up.

By the way, the most cost-effective way is, of course, to cook by yourself.

"...Actually, I'm not very good at this, I've never done it before," Sesame Paste, who was still full of confidence just now, looked a little nervous at the dried rice noodles he bought, "I, I know how to cook noodles."

Ye Xi thought to himself, you obviously have never cooked noodles.

"In addition to cooking noodles, I know a lot," Sesame Paste looked down at him. "Fried rice noodles are not in my database yet, but I can learn them in the future. You already had fried rice noodles at noon, so eat something else. "

Ye Xi thought, why didn't you say it earlier.

This bag of dry rice noodles cost me ten yuan.

Also, why is there the word database in your database.

"Besides, you can't just eat rice noodles." Sesame paste rubbed his fingers, "There must be some vegetables, meat, and it's best to put some shrimp or something."

Ye Xi sighed silently in her heart.There is meat at home, and there should be shrimp, in the cupboard that Sesame Paste used to love most.The cans of cats were open, and there was fish and chicken.

He figured, he had to hurry up and sell it online at a discount while the shelf life was still long enough.

"I can make dumplings!" Sesame Paste said again, "Can I make dumplings for you?"

Ye Xi let out a long sigh.

He pulled the sesame paste, sat at the table, and said with a heavy face: "I also want to eat dumplings, but now I have a...very real problem."

Sesame paste looked at him: "What?"

"...Do you know what 'money' is?" Ye Xi asked.

The author says:

Ye Xi: For a moment, I even considered using canned cat food for bibimbap.But if you think about it carefully, an 85-gram can of cat food costs about 180 yuan, but a 12-gram can of tuna for human consumption can be bought for as little as [-] yuan.Even if I sell them at a discount of five yuan each, it's still more cost-effective to buy canned human food.

Sesame paste: ... huh?
