Chapter 589: Residual
"If this lingering issue isn’t resolved," he thought, "it’ll cause trouble sooner or later." But he was lazy and didn’t want to think about it.
Even if he felt a bit nauseous for the moment, it wasn’t to the extent of not eating at all.
"I’m being considerate of you," said Su Yinhe with an obedient look on her face.
"I appreciate your concern, but it’s not needed." He wasn’t fooled; he knew exactly what she was up to.
"Tsk, caring for you but you don’t want it; you can’t feed fine bran to a boar," Su Yinhe was quite spirited now.
"Who are you calling a boar?" Lin Murong looked at her in disbelief.
"Nobody. Who else could there be? Who else could I possibly be referring to?" Su Yinhe spread her hands innocently.
"I always feel like you’re talking about me," Lin Murong watched her, no, it wasn’t just a feeling, she was definitely referring to him.
Unfortunately, he had no proof.
"Proof, I only believe in proof," Su Yinhe demanded, holding out her hand.
"It seems there’s no proof," Lin Murong hung his head, "but I can still eat! Don’t take it away!" How could he let the ducks he had been eagerly awaiting just fly away?
"Alright, alright, I won’t take them; you eat at your own pace," Su Yinhe was just teasing him, and seeing him get anxious, she let him off the hook.
Then Lin Murong began eating the ducks, and as he looked at them, he remembered the soybean juice and instantly felt nauseous again.
But, he couldn’t bear it; what if Galaxy really took them away if he didn’t eat?
Really, the waters of West Lake, his tears.
Eat, how could he not eat?
These were his ducks, the ones he had eagerly awaited.
Lin Murong began to devour the ducks fiercely.
Indeed, he still felt a bit nauseous.
But as he kept biting into them, the deliciousness of the ducks overcame the nausea.
And he began to eat with gusto.
Su Yinhe silently watched him eat, while Chi Yan quietly observed her from the side.
The main theme was simply one of mutual observation.
Lin Murong felt a bit of pressure, but as he ate, he soon didn’t care anymore.
Look all you want, I don’t mind.
Lin Murong’s appetite grew as he ate, and in the end, he actually finished all ten ducks.
"Impressive, Your Excellency is truly remarkable," Su Yinhe gave him a thumbs-up.
"Hehehe, just so-so, I think it’s okay," Lin Murong said, and then let out a satisfied burp.
Su Yinhe: "..."
"Alright, you’ve finished eating the ducks, so whoever ate them should clean up," Lin Murong had been happy while eating, but now there was a mess.
"Oh, I’ll clean up, definitely," said Lin Murong with an obedient face.
"Okay, then I’m going back to sleep. I’ll leave the cleaning to you," Su Yinhe said and then pulled Chi Yan away with her.
Lin Murong looked at the remaining mess, blinked his eyes, and thought something was off.
He understood cleaning up after himself, but why should he clean up after them, too?
They all ate, so why did he have to clean up while Chi Yan didn’t?
Chi Yan also ate Galaxy’s food, slept in Galaxy’s bed, lived in Galaxy’s house.
Why was he treated differently?
They were both men, and they looked pretty much the same.
Lin Murong was still pondering why Su Yinhe only had eyes for Chi Yan and not for him.
He didn’t think he looked bad.
In fact, he thought he was a bit better looking than Chi Yan.
After a long contemplation, Lin Murong concluded that Su Yinhe was just lackluster.
It wasn’t him.
One should avoid taking responsibility for one’s errors and instead blame others.
That’s how people live happily.
Blissfully...
Pah, getting off track.
He still had to clean up.
After all, he ate someone’s ten ducks.
So Lin Murong cleaned up quite honestly.
Could he afford not to, after eating their food and taking their hospitality?
Once he had finished tidying up, he felt tired.
He looked around, saw nothing else to do, had his fill of food, and it was time to sleep.
Since Galaxy and the others had gone to sleep, there wasn’t much he could do now, so he...
Lin Murong went to sleep, and he slept... for a whole day.
Su Yinhe didn’t see him at all that day.
She was surprisingly unaccustomed to it.
"Why are you always thinking about him? He’s not important, think less," Chi Yan was jealous again.
Sometimes, he really wanted to get rid of Lin Murong.
An eyesore.
"Oh, I was just thinking idly."
"Even idle thoughts aren’t okay, any kind of thinking is not allowed," Chi Yan stroked her hair, not just patting her head, but lifting a strand of her hair and gently caressing it.
He moved gently, but his tone...
Mm.
Su Yinhe quite liked it.
The bass of a man’s voice, ah.
Although she wasn’t a big fan of bass voices, this wasn’t just any bass voice, this was Chi Yan’s bass voice.
She... couldn’t resist it at all.
Fell in love.
"What did you fall in love with?" Chi Yan asked.
Damn, she had unintentionally voiced her inner thoughts.
"Nothing, nothing, you heard wrong," Su Yinhe was about to explode with embarrassment.
So shameful.
Accidentally saying what’s on your mind is really very embarrassing.
Su Yinhe ran away.
Chi Yan: "..."
He always felt something was not quite right.
Once Su Yinhe had escaped Chi Yan’s sight, she covered her face, damn it, her big mouth.
Sigh.
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
Wanted to die.
Wanted to die.
Repeatedly wanted to die.
Repeatedly wished to pass away.
It was so awkward she was scrunching her toes.
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
Want to die, want to die, the desire to pass away had reached its peak at this moment.
Why do people have to live.
Tired, so tired, she was just too tired.
Su Yinhe thought it over, ran back to her room, lay down.
Sleeping, sleeping, when she wakes up, she’ll forget everything.
Okay.
She’ll forget.
Su Yinhe slept, woke up, freshened up, then took out some food from her space, ate, played a bit, continued to sleep, and then got up again...
So, when Lin Murong slept for a whole day, he found that his dear Galaxy was gone.
"Brother Chi, where is Galaxy?" He chose to go directly to Chi Yan with the question.
"She ran away because she was shy," Chi Yan gave Lin Murong an answer he had taken a long time to come up with.
Yes, it took him a long time.
To finally understand why Su Yinhe had suddenly run off.
He had thought that she was scared.
As long as she wasn’t scared of him, that was okay.
Chi Yan dropped that answer and walked away contentedly.
Leaving a freshly-awoken Lin Murong utterly confused.
Wait, what shyness?
What the hell?
Shy about what?
Why be shy?
It couldn’t be that it was part of some play between them, could it?
The thought made Lin Murong shiver.
Hold on, he had just slept for a day, why did it feel like something momentous had happened?
Had their relationship progressed too quickly?
Was it really okay for them to move this fast?
Not okay.
Not okay!
Lin Murong roared in his mind.
Why didn’t he dare to roar out loud?
Because...
He was hungry.
He woke up hungry after sleeping all day.
If not for the hunger, he wouldn’t even want to get up, he could have continued sleeping.
Damn it.
He couldn’t afford to roar directly, it would burn calories.
Now that Su Yinhe was gone, and Chi Yan...
Forget it, he’d fend for himself.
The supermarket was so big, there was so much food, and his cooking skills were so good, he’d definitely be able to feed himself.
