Chapter 551: After hardship comes happiness.
"Does this count as ’after hardships come happiness’?" Lin Murong muttered.
"No, it doesn’t. After all, it’s not very sweet right now."
"I... I thank you. I really thank you." Lin Murong felt his brain couldn’t keep up.
"It’s okay, it’s okay, as long as you’re happy."
"But I’m not happy..." Lin Murong always felt there was something odd.
"That won’t do. It’s compulsory." Su Yinhe shook her hand again.
Lin Murong finally realized what was wrong; after all the rigmarole, he was right back where he started.
"I... forget it. As long as you’re happy." He was just a pitiful little thing after all, what right did he have to be unhappy?
He didn’t have the right.
Lin Murong weakly hugged himself.
Damn it, he wanted to be alone again.
After thinking it over, being alone was still the best.
Better than roasted sweet potatoes.
At least being alone wouldn’t give him diarrhea, but an undercooked roasted sweet potato would.
"Do you want to be alone again?" Su Yinhe saw him like this and asked again.
Lin Murong: "..."
Sometimes, he felt that Galaxy understood him pretty well.
And maybe understood a little too much.
He was scared.
Really scared.
He’d been feeling vulnerable these last few days, completely unable to cope.
He was really unable to cope.
"So... is that so?" Su Yinhe asked again when he didn’t answer.
Lin Murong nodded his head.
"Ah, you shouldn’t just be thinking about being alone every day, can’t you think about something else?" Su Yinhe sat down opposite him, face to face.
Lin Murong hesitated as he looked into her eyes.
"Besides being alone, who else is there?"
"There are plenty!" Su Yinhe counted on her fingers for him, "There’s Xiangxiang, Chouchou, Meimei, Chou Chou, and if all else fails, there’s Xiao Hua."
"No way, no way, Xiao Hua won’t do!" Fangfang immediately jumped out.
"Ah, I wasn’t talking about that Xiao Hua, not your Xiao Hua. It’s Lin Murong’s Xiao Hua." Su Yinhe soothed Fangfang by patting its head.
Upon hearing this, Fangfang looked at Lin Murong with a wary face.
"Lin Murong, what are you plotting? Why would you look for someone just like Xiao Hua... a bad person?"
Lin Murong: "???"
No, not?
What does this have to do with him?
What does this have to do with him again?
What did he do wrong?
Lin Murong was bewildered.
Wasn’t it Galaxy who said it? Why was he suddenly blamed?
Lin Murong really wanted to dismantle Fangfang and see what was stuffed inside its brain.
What did he do wrong? He was just an innocent person.
Even the name Xiao Hua wasn’t spoken by him.
Why?
What did he do wrong?
Lin Murong exploded.
"Who’s bad? You tell me!" Lin Murong rolled up his sleeves and grabbed Fangfang.
"You tell me, who is bad! Am I bad or is she bad? Did you even listen to what was just said?"
Fangfang looked at him and then at Su Yinhe.
"Of course, it’s you who’s bad." You couldn’t say the boss was bad.
Its boss.
The person who controlled its life and death.
Lin Murong: "..."
Ah ah ah ah ah!
"Do you believe I’ll dismantle you!"
"See, you are really bad, you even want to dismantle me." A bad person.
Fangfang snorted coldly.
Lin Murong: "..."
"Yes, I am a bad person! Just wait till I dismantle you." Lin Murong gave it a ferocious smile.
But Murong seemed to have forgotten, Fangfang was no slouch in a fight either.
As soon as Murong moved a bit closer, he got beat up by Fangfang.
"Ah ah ah ah! Bad guy, bad guy! You still want to dismantle me! See who dismantles who!" Fangfang furiously pounded him.
Murong was beat back, step by step.
Completely unable to fight back.
In the end, he even ran.
Fled in total disarray.
Fangfang watched his retreating figure and scoffed.
Murong thought he could dismantle Fangfang.
Did he have the ability?
Could he dismantle it?
He couldn’t even win a fight.
Hmph.
Su Yinhe, who had caused trouble and perfectly blended into the background, touched her nose, feeling a bit guilty.
However, this bit of guilt quickly vanished into thin air.
She, had no morals.
None at all.
Her guilt didn’t last long, and she certainly didn’t feel any remorse.
A few days after Xu Jiaoqin’s last visit, she came again.
This time it wasn’t just two people, it looked like the entire Cheetah Team had come.
A mighty throng, a large group of people.
Each person carried a bag, and if there were no surprises, those bags should be filled with Crystal Cores.
Actually, on the same day Xu Jiaoqin and Yun Wujiu returned, they wanted to come back the very next day.
But, many people from the Cheetah Team hadn’t returned, as they were still looking for Yun Wujiu.
They couldn’t just go back with the two of them, they also needed to reassure their team members.
Only after others returned and they had discussed it did they set out.
This time, they brought out all the Crystal Cores they had saved up during the time they had been away from the supermarket.
The number of zombies near Sun Base was growing smaller; thus, gathering Crystal Cores was also getting more difficult.
They’d worked so hard to save up Crystal Cores, still, it wasn’t much.
Now, they brought all the few Crystal Cores they had.
"Boss, long time no see." Upon seeing Su Yinhe, each one of them, eyes brimming with tears.
Su Yinhe: "..."
Their demeanor made her a bit scared.
"Long... long time no see, do you... do you want some snacks?" Su Yinhe picked up some snacks from beside her.
Seeing the snacks, the eyes of the Cheetah Team members all lit up.
Su Yinhe even suspected that they might start grabbing them the next second.
They’d at least bought so much stuff from the supermarket before, they shouldn’t be starving.
But looking at them now, they seemed a bit like a pack of hungry wolves.
"Here... take them all," Su Yinhe said, handing over the snacks, fortunately, she wasn’t short on snacks.
"Thank you, boss, thank you, boss. Boss, after such a long time, you’ve become even more beautiful," the members of the Cheetah Team said, offering endless praise and compliments to Su Yinhe after receiving their snacks.
Su Yinhe: "..."
Xu Jiaoqin: "..."
Xu Jiaoqin wanted to cover her face, this was too... too embarrassing.
Day after day, they would embarrass her, especially in front of Boss Su.
It was like she was mistreating them.
It wasn’t as if they hadn’t eaten the stuff she brought back a few days ago.
Was it necessary?
They really looked like starving ghosts now.
"Sorry, Boss Su, I’ll... I’ll handle them." In that short amount of time, they had already started eating. Xu Jiaoqin’s face burned with embarrassment.
"No worries at all, I understand, I truly do," Su Yinhe nodded, "It’s fine. No need to control them, really."
Quite real, actually.
After a while, they seemed rather adorable.
"Wuwuwu... it’s so delicious, boss I love you." Bai Yuanyuan said through tears while eating her potato chips.
Wuwuwu...
It had been so long since she had chips.
So tasty, she liked them so much.
Faced with Bai Yuanyuan’s bold declaration of love, Su Yinhe felt a bit embarrassed.
"Ah... thank you."
