Chapter 548: Pretentious
Lin Murong snorted coldly, putting on an act.
Su Yinhe: “…” When will this end?
“How could I possibly not eat?” Lin Murong was shocked.
Even though he felt a bit nauseous for the moment, it wasn’t to the point of not eating at all.
“I’m being considerate of you,” said Su Yinhe with an obedient look.
“Thanks for your consideration, but it’s not needed.” Don’t think he didn’t know what she was scheming in her heart.
“Tsk, you don’t want my concern, fine then, wild boars can’t appreciate fine bran,” Su Yinhe perked up now.
“Who are you calling a wild boar?” Lin Murong couldn’t believe she was referring to him.
“Nobody. Who else could there be? Who could I possibly be talking about?” Su Yinhe spread her hands wide.
“I always feel like you’re talking about me,” Lin Murong looked at her—no, it wasn’t a feeling, she was indeed talking about him.
Unfortunately, he had no proof.
“Evidence, I only believe in evidence,” Su Yinhe said, extending her hand toward him.
“It seems there’s no evidence,” Lin Murong lowered his head, “but I still can eat! Don’t take it away!” The duck he had been eagerly waiting for—how could he let it just fly away?
“Fine, fine, I won’t take it, take your time eating,” Su Yinhe was just teasing him, and seeing him get anxious, she let him off the hook.
Then Lin Murong started eating the duck. He looked at the duck, thought of the fermented bean juice, and felt a bit queasy again.
But he couldn’t bear to leave it uneaten; what if Yinhe really took it away?
Truly, the waters of West Lake were his tears.
Eat, how could he not eat?
This was his duck, the duck he had been eagerly waiting for.
Lin Murong began to gnaw at the duck fiercely.
Still, it was somewhat nauseating.
But as he continued, the duck was too delicious, and the nausea faded away.
He started enjoying his meal with gusto.
Su Yinhe watched him eat quietly, and Chi Yan was quietly observing her.
The main thing was, they were all watching each other.
Lin Murong felt a bit of pressure, but as he kept eating, it no longer mattered.
Look all you want, it’s fine by me.
The more Lin Murong ate, the better his appetite got, and he ended up finishing all ten ducks.
“Impressive, you really are incredible,” Su Yinhe gave him a thumbs up.
“Hehehe, just average, I think I did alright,” Lin Murong finished saying and belched contentedly.
Su Yinhe: “…”
“Alright, now that you’ve finished your ducks, who’s going to clean up?” Lin Murong had enjoyed his meal, but now there was a mess to deal with.
“Oh, I’ll clean up, definitely,” Lin Murong said obediently.
“Good, then I’m going back to sleep. The cleanup is all yours,” Su Yinhe said and left with Chi Yan.
Lin Murong looked at the remaining mess, blinked, and thought something was off.
Him cleaning up after himself made sense, but why should he have to clean up after them, too?
They all ate, why did he have to clean up, and Chi Yan didn’t?
Chi Yan was eating Yinhe’s, sleeping Yinhe’s, living Yinhe’s.
Why was the treatment different for him?
They were both men, didn’t look all that different.
Lin Murong continued to ponder why Su Yinhe only fancied Chi Yan and not him.
He thought he wasn’t bad-looking at all.
Even a little better-looking than Chi Yan.
Lin Murong thought long and hard, and finally concluded, Su Yinhe had no taste.
She just wasn’t up to par.
Yep.
It wasn’t his fault.
In life, you have to refrain from taking too much blame on yourself, and rather blame others.
That’s how people stay happy and content.
Blissfully happy…
Pooh, getting off track.
He still had to clean up.
After all, he had eaten their ten ducks.
So Lin Murong got to work quite earnestly.
How could he not? He had to repay their kindness.
After cleaning up, he felt tired.
He scanned the room, nothing left to do, had eaten his fill, and it was time to sleep.
Since Yinhe and the others had gone to bed already, there was nothing else to do, so he…
Lin Murong went to sleep, and slept… for a whole day.
Su Yinhe didn’t see him at all that day.
And surprisingly, she missed him a bit.
“Why are you always thinking about him? He’s not important, think about him less,” Chi Yan was jealous again.
Sometimes, he really wanted to get rid of Lin Murong.
An eyesore.
“Oh, I was just wondering randomly.”
“You can’t just think about it casually, any thought is not allowed,” Chi Yan said as he touched her hair, not patting her head, but rather lifting her strands gently.
His touch was light indeed, but his tone…
Hmm.
Su Yinhe actually liked it quite a bit.
That bass voice of a man.
Though she wasn’t particularly fond of bass voices, this wasn’t just any bass voice, this was Chi Yan’s bass voice.
She couldn’t refuse it even a bit.
She had fallen in love.
“Fell in love with what?” Chi Yan asked.
Damn it, she had accidentally spoken her inner thoughts aloud.
“Nothing, nothing, you heard wrong,” Su Yinhe was almost blowing her top.
So embarrassing.
Accidentally voicing one’s inner thoughts was truly mortifying.
Su Yinhe ran away.
Chi Yan: “…”
He always felt something was off.
After Su Yinhe escaped Chi Yan’s sight, she covered her face, damn her blabbering mouth.
Sigh.
Ahhh.
She wanted to die.
She wanted to die.
Constant thoughts of wanting to die.
Repeated thoughts of wanting to pass away.
She was so embarrassed that she could claw at the ground with her toes.
Ahhh.
Thoughts of wanting to die, the desire to cease existing reached its peak in that moment.
Why must one live.
Tired, so tired, she was just too tired.
Su Yinhe thought it over, ran back to her room, and lay down.
Sleep, sleep, once she had a sleep, she would forget everything.
Good.
She would forget.
Su Yinhe slept, woke up, washed up, then took some food from the space, ate up, played for a bit, continued to sleep, then got up again…
So, when Lin Murong had slept for an entire day, he discovered that his beloved Galaxy was nowhere to be found.
“Brother Chi, where is Galaxy?” He chose to go straight to Chi Yan with his question.
“She ran away because she was shy,” Chi Yan gave Lin Murong an answer that took him a long time to come up with.
Yes, he had taken a long time.
It took him that much time to finally figure out why Su Yinhe had suddenly run off.
He had thought she was scared.
As long as she wasn’t afraid of him, that was all that mattered.
Chi Yan dropped that answer and then walked off, satisfied.
Leaving Lin Murong who had just woken up, completely baffled.
Hold on, shy?
What the hell?
Shy about what?
Why should she be shy?
It wasn’t something that was part of their two-person play, was it?
The more Lin Murong thought about this possibility, the more he trembled in fear.
Hold on, he had only slept for a day; why did it feel like some earth-shattering event had taken place?
Were they progressing too fast?
Was it really okay for them to move this quickly?
It wasn’t okay.
It wasn’t okay!
Lin Murong roared inwardly.
Why didn’t he roar out loud?
Because…
He was hungry.
He had gone a day without eating and had woken up hungry.
If it weren’t for the hunger, he wouldn’t have even wanted to get up; he could have continued sleeping.
Damn it.
He couldn’t very well roar out loud; it wasted energy.
Now with Su Yinhe gone, and Chi Yan…
Forget it, he would fend for himself.
The supermarket was so big, with so many things, and his own cooking skills were so good; he would certainly be able to feed himself.
