Chapter 599: Waving the sleeves
He waved his sleeve and spoke no more.
He was always like that, so silent that it was frightening.
“I’m telling you, you missed out, do you know that? It was delicious.”
Even if he felt a bit nauseous for the moment, it wasn’t enough to stop him from eating.
“I was being considerate of you,” Su Yinhe said sweetly.
“I appreciate your consideration, but I don’t need it,” he said, not fooled into thinking she didn’t have an ulterior motive.
“Whatever, show concern and get rejected, pigs can’t appreciate fine chaff,” Su Yinhe retorted, now full of energy.
“Who are you calling a pig?” Lin Murong looked at her incredulously.
“No one. Who else could there be? I couldn’t possibly be talking about anyone,” Su Yinhe shrugged her shoulders.
“I always feel like you’re talking about me,” said Lin Murong, no, not just a feeling, she was definitely talking about him.
Too bad he had no proof.
“Evidence, I only look at the evidence,” Su Yinhe said, extending her hand towards him.
“It seems there is no evidence,” Lin Murong lowered his head, “but I can still eat! Don’t take it away!” The ducks he had been eagerly waiting for, how could he let them just fly away?
“Alright, alright, I won’t take them, you eat at your own pace,” Su Yinhe teased him a bit and seeing him anxious, she let him be.
Then Lin Murong started eating the ducks. He looked at the ducks and remembered the soybean juice, and suddenly felt a bit of revulsion again.
But he couldn’t bear to stop; what if Galaxy really took them away?
It was truly like the waters of West Lake, his tears.
To eat, how could he not eat?
These were his ducks, the ones he had been eagerly waiting for.
Lin Murong began to viciously gnaw on the duck again.
Still, it was a bit disgusting.
But as he kept biting, the duck was so fragrant that he didn’t feel disgusted anymore.
He began eating with gusto again.
Su Yinhe quietly watched him eat while Chi Yan watched her, just as silence reigned.
The main attraction was the mutual watching.
Lin Murong felt a bit of pressure, but as he kept eating, he soon didn’t care.
Watch, go ahead and watch.
The more Lin Murong ate, the better his appetite became, and in the end, he really did finish off all ten ducks.
“Impressive, you really are remarkable,” Su Yinhe said, giving him a thumbs-up.
“Hehehe, pretty normal, I think it was okay,” said Lin Murong, and then he belched.
Su Yinhe: “…”
“Alright, you finished your ducks, who’s going to clean up, huh?” Lin Murong felt great while eating, but afterwards, there was chaos.
“Oh, I’ll clean up, definitely,” said Lin Murong, with a look of obedience.
“Good, then I’m going back to sleep. I’ll leave the cleaning to you,” said Su Yinhe, and then she and Chi Yan left.
Lin Murong looked at the mess left behind, blinked, and felt something wasn’t quite right.
He understood cleaning up after his own eating, but why did he have to clean up after theirs?
Everyone ate, why should he clean up, and Chi Yan didn’t have to?
Chi Yan also ate Galaxy’s food, slept in Galaxy’s place, lived off Galaxy.
Why was the treatment different for him?
Both men, both looking pretty similar.
Lin Murong was still pondering why Su Yinhe only fancied Chi Yan and not him.
He didn’t think he was less handsome.
In fact, he even considered himself a bit better looking than Chi Yan.
After much thought, Lin Murong came to the conclusion that Su Yinhe lacked taste.
It wasn’t him, it was her who wasn’t up to par.
Yeah.
Not his fault.
As a person, one should attribute fewer mistakes to oneself and blame others more.
That way, one would live happily and joyously.
Happy and content…
Pshaw, that’s straying from the point.
He still had to clean up.
After all, he ate ten of their ducks.
So, Lin Murong did his chores earnestly.
Could he afford not to? After all, one’s convictions soften after enjoying their hospitality.
Once done with the cleaning, he felt tired.
He looked around and found nothing left to do, his stomach was full, and it was time to sleep.
Since Galaxy and the others had gone to sleep as well, there was nothing much he could do, so he…
Lin Murong went to sleep, and slept… for an entire day.
Su Yinhe didn’t see him for the whole day.
And found herself strangely unused to his absence.
“Why are you always thinking about him? He’s not important, think less of it,” Chi Yan was jealous again.
Sometimes, he really wanted to get rid of Lin Murong.
An eyesore.
“Oh, I was just thinking out loud.”
“Just thinking randomly won’t do; as long as it’s thinking, it’s not okay.” Chi Yan touched her hair, not a head pat but picking up strands of her hair, gently caressing them.
His movements might be gentle, but his tone…
Uh-huh.
Su Yinhe quite liked it.
A man’s deep voice, ah.
Though she wasn’t particularly fond of deep voices, this wasn’t just any deep voice, this was Chi Yan’s deep voice.
She… couldn’t resist it at all.
Had fallen in love.
“What do you mean, fallen in love?” Chi Yan asked.
Damn, she accidentally blurted out what was on her mind.
“It’s nothing, nothing, you heard wrong,” Su Yinhe was about to explode.
So embarrassing.
Accidentally speaking her mind, it was really embarrassing.
Su Yinhe ran away.
Chi Yan: “…”
Somehow felt something wasn’t quite right.
Once Su Yinhe escaped Chi Yan’s view, she covered her face, damn it, her mouth.
Sigh.
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
Wanted to die.
Wanted to die.
Kept thinking about dying.
Kept thinking about passing away.
She was so embarrassed her toes were curling.
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
Wanted to die, wanted to pass away, her desire to cease existing peaked at that moment.
Why bother being alive.
Tired, so tired, she was truly exhausted.
Su Yinhe thought for a bit, ran back to her room, and lay down.
Sleep, sleep, once she slept, she’d forget everything.
Okay.
She would forget.
Su Yinhe slept, woke up, washed, then took out some food from storage, ate, played for a while, continued sleeping, and then got up again…
Thus, when Lin Murong slept for a whole day, he discovered that his dear Galaxy had disappeared.
“Brother Chi, where is Galaxy?” He decided to go directly to Chi Yan to ask.
“She got shy and ran off,” Chi Yan gave Lin Murong an answer that took him a long time to come up with.
Indeed, he had thought it over for a long time.
Before he finally understood why Su Yinhe suddenly ran away.
He had thought she was scared.
It’s okay as long as she wasn’t afraid of him.
Chi Yan dropped that answer then contentedly walked away.
Leaving Lin Murong, who had just woken up, completely baffled.
Wait, what’s this shyness about?
What in the world.
Shy about what.
Why should she be shy?
Murong wondered if he had gotten caught up in some chapter of their play.
The mere thought made Murong shiver.
Wait, he only slept for a day, but it felt like something substantial had happened.
Were they rushing things too much?
Was it really okay for them to move this fast?
It wasn’t okay.
It wasn’t okay at all!
Lin Murong roared inwardly.
Why didn’t he dare to roar aloud?
Because…
He was hungry.
He had slept for a day without eating, waking up hungry.
If not for the hunger, he wouldn’t have wanted to get up; he could have continued sleeping.
Damn it.
He couldn’t afford to waste energy roaring.
Now with Su Yinhe gone, and Chi Yan…
Forget it, he’d better find his own food.
The supermarket was so big, there were so many things, and his cooking skills were so good, he could definitely fill his stomach.
