Chapter 609: juice
Freshly squeezed juice, purely handmade, pollution-free, and environmentally friendly.
“Nope,” Su Yinhe said, spreading her hands.
“Mmm… they’ve all got vegetables,” Su Yinhe replied.
“How could I possibly not eat?” Lin Murong was shocked.
Even if he felt a bit nauseous at the moment, it wasn’t to the point of not eating.
“I’m being considerate of you,” Su Yinhe said with an innocent face.
“Thanks for the thought, but I don’t need it,” he said, certain that she had an ulterior motive.
“Tsk, ungrateful. Wild boars can’t appreciate the finer things,” Su Yinhe was now quite perky.
“Who are you calling a wild boar?” Lin Murong couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
“Nobody. Who else could there be? I couldn’t possibly be talking about anyone,” Su Yinhe said, spreading her hands again.
“I always feel like you’re talking about me,” Lin Murong said, studying her—no, not a feeling, she was talking about him.
Too bad he had no proof.
“Evidence. I only deal with evidence,” Su Yinhe said, holding out her hand to him.
“It seems I have no evidence,” Lin Murong admitted, looking down. “But I can still eat! Don’t you dare take it away!” He couldn’t let the ducks he had eagerly awaited just fly away.
“Alright, alright, I won’t take it. Take your time eating,” Su Yinhe teased him but let him be upon seeing his urgency.
Then Lin Murong started eating the duck. Looking at it, he was reminded of soybean juice and felt a bit queasy again.
But he couldn’t bear to waste it. What if Galaxy really took it away while he wasn’t eating?
It was truly the waters of West Lake, his tears.
To eat, how could he not eat?
It was his duck, the one he had eagerly awaited.
Lin Murong began to gnaw on the duck fiercely.
Indeed, it still made him a little sick.
But as he kept chewing, the duck was too fragrant to resist, and he was no longer disgusted.
He resumed eating deliciously.
Su Yinhe watched him quietly eat, and Chi Yan was also watching her silently.
The main feature: mutual observation.
Lin Murong felt a bit of pressure, but he soon didn’t care anymore as he continued eating.
Look all you want, it doesn’t bother me.
Lin Murong’s appetite improved as he ate, and in the end, he really did finish off all ten ducks.
“Impressive, Your Excellency, you really are impressive,” Su Yinhe praised, giving him a thumbs up.
“Hehehe, just average, I think I did okay,” Lin Murong said, and then he belched.
Su Yinhe: “…”
“Alright, you’ve finished your duck, so who’s going to clean up?” Lin Murong’s eating was great, but now there was a mess to deal with.
“Oh, I’ll clean up, definitely,” Lin Murong said, looking dutiful.
“Fine, then I’m going back to bed. The cleanup is all yours,” Su Yinhe said, and then she pulled Chi Yan away.
Lin Murong looked at the remaining mess, blinked his eyes and thought something was amiss.
It made sense for him to clean up after himself, but why should he clean up after them too?
They both ate, so why did he have to clean up while Chi Yan didn’t?
Chi Yan also consumed what Galaxy provided, slept in Galaxy’s place, and lived in Galaxy’s home.
Why was he treated differently?
They were both men, and they looked quite similar.
Lin Murong was still pondering why Su Yinhe only fancied Chi Yan and not him.
He thought he wasn’t bad-looking.
Even a bit better looking than Chi Yan.
After much consideration, Lin Murong concluded that Su Yinhe lacked taste.
She was no good.
Hmm.
It wasn’t his fault.
In life, one should avoid blaming oneself and find fault with others.
That way, one could live happily and contentedly…
Pah, he was getting off track.
He still had cleaning to do.
After all, he had indulged in ten ducks.
So Lin Murong got busy honestly.
How could he not? An eater’s mouth is soft.
After cleaning up, he felt tired.
He looked around, found no other work to do, had his fill, and now it was time to sleep.
Since Galaxy and the others had gone to bed too, there wasn’t much else to do, so he…
Lin Murong went to sleep and ended up sleeping for an entire day.
Su Yinhe didn’t see him at all that day.
She even felt a bit unaccustomed to his absence.
“Why are you always thinking about him? He’s not important, think less of him,” Chi Yan was jealous again.
Sometimes, he really wanted to get rid of Lin Murong.
He was so annoying.
“Oh, I was just thinking randomly.”
“Even random thoughts aren’t allowed, any thinking is not allowed.” Chi Yan caressed her hair, not exactly patting her head but lifting her strands of hair and gently touching them.
His movements were gentle, but his tone…
Hmm.
Su Yinhe rather liked it.
The bass of a man’s voice, ah.
Although she wasn’t particularly fond of bass voices, this wasn’t just any bass voice, it was Chi Yan’s bass voice.
She… couldn’t resist it at all.
Fell in love.
“What fell in love?” Chi Yan asked.
Darn, she had accidentally blurted out what she was thinking.
“Nothing, nothing, you heard wrong.” Su Yinhe was about to explode.
So embarrassing.
Accidentally speaking your thoughts out loud, really embarrassing.
Su Yinhe ran away.
Chi Yan: “…”
He always felt something was off.
After escaping Chi Yan’s sight, Su Yinhe covered her face, damn it, her mouth!
Sigh.
Ah ah ah ah ah.
Want to die.
Want to die.
Thinking about it over and over.
Thinking about dying over and over.
She felt so awkward she could dig her toes into the ground.
Ah ah ah ah.
Want to die, want to die, the desire to cease to exist peaked at this moment.
Why must people live.
Tired, so tired, she was just too tired.
Su Yinhe thought for a bit, ran back to her room, and lay down.
Sleep, sleep, when she woke up from sleep, she wouldn’t remember anything.
Alright.
She would 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, after Lin Murong slept for a day, he found out that his dear Galaxy was gone.
“Brother Chi, where’s Galaxy?” He decided to directly ask Chi Yan.
“She ran away because she was shy.” Chi Yan gave Lin Murong a reply that he had thought about for a long time.
Yes, he had thought about it for a long time.
Only then did he finally understand why Su Yinhe had suddenly bolted.
He thought she was scared at first.
It’s fine as long as she wasn’t scared of him.
Chi Yan left that answer behind and walked away pleased with himself.
Leaving the freshly awakened Lin Murong utterly confused.
No, what shy?
What the hell.
Shy about what?
Why be shy?
It couldn’t be that it was a part of their play.
The moment Lin Murong thought about this possibility, he trembled.
No, he had only slept for a day; why did it feel like something momentous had happened?
Weren’t they moving a bit too fast?
Was it really okay for them to be so fast?
Not good.
Not good, right!
Lin Murong roared inwardly.
Why didn’t he roar out loud?
Because…
He was hungry.
He woke up hungry after sleeping for a day.
If not for the hunger, he wouldn’t even want to wake up; he could continue sleeping.
Darn it.
He couldn’t just roar out loud; it would expend energy.
Now with Su Yinhe gone, Chi Yan…
Forget it, he’d better forage for himself.
The supermarket was so big, with so much food, and his cooking skills were so good, he could definitely feed himself.
