Chapter 491: orange
“Eat an orange?” Lin Murong peeled an orange for Su Yinhe.
“No thanks, I don’t want it.”
Sometimes, people just crave something sour and spicy.
“How could I possibly not eat?” Lin Murong was shocked.
Even if he was feeling a bit nauseous, it didn’t mean he wouldn’t eat.
“I’m being considerate of you,” Su Yinhe said with an obedient look on her face.
“I appreciate your thoughtfulness, but it’s unnecessary.” He didn’t think for a second that she didn’t have an ulterior motive.
“Tch, you don’t want my concern? Pigs can’t appreciate fine chaff,” Su Yinhe perked up now.
“Who are you calling a pig?” Lin Murong looked at her in disbelief.
“Nobody. Who else could there be? Who could I possibly say,” Su Yinhe shrugged her shoulders.
“I have this feeling you’re talking about me,” Lin Murong looked at her, no, it wasn’t just a feeling, she was definitely talking about him.
Too bad he had no proof.
“Evidence, I only look at evidence,” Su Yinhe extended her hand toward him.
“It appears there’s no evidence,” Lin Murong lowered his head, “but I still want to eat! Don’t take it away!” He couldn’t let the duck he had been eagerly awaiting just fly away like that.
“Alright, alright, I won’t take it, you eat at your own pace.” Su Yinhe was just teasing him, but seeing him agitated, she let him be.
Then Lin Murong started eating the duck, looking at it and thinking of fermented bean juice, he felt nauseous again.
But he couldn’t let it go; what if Galaxy really took it away?
Indeed, the water of West Lake, his tears.
To eat or not to eat, that was the question.
This was his duck, the duck he had so looked forward to.
Lin Murong began to gnaw at the duck fiercely.
That said, still feeling a bit sick.
As he ate, however, the duck was so delicious that the nausea faded away.
And he resumed eating with gusto.
Su Yinhe quietly watched him eat, and Chi Yan quietly watched her.
The main act was to all watch each other.
Lin Murong felt a bit pressured, but as he continued to eat, he didn’t care anymore.
Look all you want, it’s fine by me.
Lin Murong’s appetite grew larger, and in the end, he actually finished all ten ducks.
“Impressive, truly impressive,” Su Yinhe gave him a thumbs up.
“Heh heh heh, just average, I guess it’s alright,” Lin Murong said and then belched.
Su Yinhe: “…”
“Okay, you finished the ducks, now who’s going to clean up?” Lin Murong enjoyed the meal, but the aftermath was a mess.
“Oh, I’ll clean up, definitely,” Lin Murong said with a dutiful face.
“Fine, then I’m going back to sleep. The cleanup task is yours now,” Su Yinhe said, and she walked away with Chi Yan.
Lin Murong looked at the remaining mess, blinked his eyes, and thought something wasn’t quite right.
It made sense to clean up after his own meal, but why should he clean up after theirs?
All of them had eaten, so why did he have to clean up, but not Brother Chi?
Brother Chi had eaten Galaxy’s food, slept in Galaxy’s bed, lived in Galaxy’s place.
But how come he was treated differently?
They were all men, and there wasn’t much difference in their looks.
Lin Murong continued to ponder why Su Yinhe only fancied Chi Yan and not him.
He thought he didn’t look too bad.
Even better looking than Chi Yan.
After much thought, Lin Murong came to a conclusion: Su Yinhe had no taste.
She was not good enough.
Yeah.
It wasn’t his fault.
Living life means not taking too much blame for yourself, but to put it on others.
That way, you’ll live a happy and fulfilling life…
Pfft, that’s a stretch.
He still had to clean up.
After all, he had eaten her ten ducks.
So, Lin Murong cleaned up quite earnestly.
How could he not? A favor received makes one docile.
After cleaning up, he felt tired.
He looked around, saw nothing left to do, felt full from eating, and it was time for sleep.
Since Galaxy and the others were also asleep, there wasn’t much else for him to do, so he…
Lin Murong went to sleep, and he slept… for an entire day.
Su Yinhe didn’t see him all day long.
And she actually found it somewhat unusual.
“Why do you keep thinking about him? He’s not important, think less,” Chi Yan was getting jealous again.
Sometimes, he really wanted to get rid of Lin Murong.
Such an eyesore.
“Oh, I was just thinking randomly.”
“Even thinking randomly isn’t allowed, any kind of thinking isn’t allowed.” Chi Yan touched her hair, not exactly patting her head, but lifting her strands of hair and gently caressing them.
His touch was light, but his tone…
Hmm.
Su Yinhe quite liked it.
The baritone of a man.
Although she wasn’t particularly fond of deep voices, this wasn’t just any deep voice, it was Chi Yan’s deep voice.
She… couldn’t resist it at all.
Fell for it.
“What fell for it?” Chi Yan asked.
Damn it, she accidentally blurted out her inner thoughts.
“It’s nothing, nothing, you heard wrong,” Su Yinhe nearly exploded in embarrassment.
So shameful.
Accidentally voicing one’s private thoughts really was incredibly embarrassing.
Su Yinhe ran away.
Chi Yan: “…”
He always felt like something was off.
Once Su Yinhe escaped Chi Yan’s sight, she covered her face. Damn it, her mouth!
Sigh.
Aaaaaahhhh.
Wanted to die.
Wanted to die.
Kept wanting to die.
Repeatedly wanting to pass away.
She was so embarrassed she could curl her toes.
Aaaaaahhhh.
The desire to die, the wish to pass away, peaked at this moment.
Why do people have to live.
Tired, so tired, she was just too exhausted.
Su Yinhe thought about it, 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 up, then took out some food from her space, ate, played a bit, and continued to sleep, then got up again…
So, when Lin Murong had slept for an entire day, he discovered his dear Galaxy was gone.
“Brother Chi, where’s Galaxy?” he decided to go straight to Chi Yan and ask.
“She ran away because she was shy,” Chi Yan gave Lin Murong the answer he took a long time to come up with.
Yes, he had thought for a long time.
Until he finally understood why Su Yinhe had suddenly run away.
He had thought she was scared.
As long as it wasn’t fear of him.
Chi Yan dropped this answer and then walked away satisfied.
Leaving the freshly woken Lin Murong utterly confused.
Wait, what shy?
What the hell.
Shy about what?
Why would she be shy?
He couldn’t be thinking it was part of some play between the two of them.
The thought of that made Lin Murong shudder uncontrollably.
No, he had just slept for a day, how could it feel like something monumental had happened?
Weren’t they moving a bit too fast?
Was it really okay for them to go so quickly?
Certainly not.
Certainly not!
Lin Murong roared inwardly.
Why didn’t he dare to roar out loud?
Because…
He was hungry.
He had slept for an entire day without eating. Hunger had woken him up.
If he hadn’t been hungry, he wouldn’t even want to wake up; he could have continued sleeping.
Damn it.
He couldn’t just roar out loud; that would drain his energy.
Now with Su Yinhe gone, and Chi Yan…
Forget it, he might as well fend for himself.
The supermarket was so big, with so much food, and his cooking skills were so good, he could definitely feed himself.
