Chapter 593: alleviate
He was a bit scared, so he reached into the bag and grabbed a bunch of stuff to eat.
He was scared and ate some delicacies to relieve the fear.
“Feel like it could serve as a meal?”
“Of course not.” How could a feeling possibly serve as a meal?
Of course, you need real food to eat.
“Don’t think too much about it. Take whatever you want. I’m too lazy to get it for you.” Su Yinhe really meant this.
Although the supermarket was warm, the heavy snow outside made Su Yinhe feel an urge to hibernate.
Of course, she was a human, not a bear, so she couldn’t really hibernate.
But she could be lazy.
Right now, she just wanted to stay still if possible.
Just wanted to lie flat.
Didn’t want to walk around.
She was not Lin Murong, bursting with energy every day.
If possible, she wanted to hide under the covers, play on her phone, and sleep.
“Galaxy, how could you be like this?” Lin Murong, half-serious, couldn’t believe someone could admit their laziness so bluntly.
“Mind your own business. Okay, I’m leaving. You… take whatever you want, don’t bother me.”
Su Yinhe said this and left, leaving Lin Murong alone in the disordered wind.
Because the snow was too heavy, people from Happiness Base couldn’t come to the supermarket, so it hadn’t opened for several days.
Su Yinhe, seeing this, was pleased.
She swiftly closed the supermarket.
After hanging a “Closed” sign, she comfortably returned to her warm little room, sneaked into her cozy covers, played on her phone, and watched shows and videos.
Lin Murong didn’t understand this.
“Galaxy, couldn’t you have Fangfang and that little robot watch the supermarket? There was no need to close.”
“I need a rest, and so do the employees. How could I keep squeezing the employees?” Although the employees wouldn’t get tired, she would feel guilty.
“You really are a good boss then,” Lin Murong complimented.
“That’s right, I have a very kind heart,” Su Yinhe boasted proudly.
“Really? Are you sure?” Lin Murong looked at her, recalling her previous behavior toward him.
“Absolutely sure,” Su Yinhe affirmed.
“Fine then. As long as you’re happy.” After all, the supermarket wasn’t his, and it wasn’t his place to manage.
He was just asking.
After asking, Lin Murong happily began to slack off.
He also liked lying down; it was so warm in the covers.
Galaxy liked it, and so did he.
Who would like to go out and face the cold wind in the dead of winter?
It was snowing outside now, and the cold wind was howling, painfully biting at people’s faces.
It was really painful.
Su Yinhe lay tranquilly under her blanket, while Lin Murong also enjoyed his time under his, even going so far as to coax Fangfang into joining him.
Fangfang wasn’t too keen.
“I don’t have time; I still need to soothe Xiao Hua.” Xiao Hua was still mad at it.
It was troubled.
Didn’t have time to play house with Lin Murong.
“Fangfang, that’s where you’re wrong. As the saying goes, ‘Three cobblers together could outsmart Zhuge Liang.’ It’s difficult for just one robot to soothe Xiao Hua. But what if I join? You keep me company, and I can give you advice,” Lin Murong was quite persuasive.
Successfully, he drew Fangfang into the scheme.
“That… sounds somewhat reasonable.”
“What do you mean ‘somewhat reasonable’? What I’m saying is very reasonable. Just trust me.”
“Okay then.” Fangfang had been trying to soothe Xiao Hua for a long time with no success, and seeing Lin Murong’s determination, thought why not take a chance.
So, Lin Murong just like that got Fangfang up on the bed.
Lin Murong gave Fangfang advice, and Fangfang was in charge of keeping him company and entertaining him.
Actually, Lin Murong seemed pretty reliable.
After trying Lin Murong’s method, Xiao Hua finally responded to her.
Fangfang was so happy.
“Lin Murong, you’re really smart. Thank you. I’ll definitely go easy on you from now on.” Fangfang looked at Lin Murong and said this sincerely.
Lin Murong: “…”
Thank you, Fangfang.
If it weren’t for him needing company, he would have kicked Fangfang off the bed.
It seemed like the whole supermarket had gone into hibernation.
It was so quiet.
Su Yinhe, in bed; Lin Murong, in bed; Fangfang, in bed.
It seemed like Chi Yan was the only one acting normally.
He normally cooked, read books, made desserts, studied food, and figured out how to knit sweaters.
The supermarket was warm; he couldn’t hibernate.
Apart from them, there was someone else who wanted to hibernate—Xu Zhaixiao.
Xu Zhaixiao was bundled up thickly, warming himself by the fire at home, “Mom, it’s so cold. I really want to hibernate.”
Tao Tao sat beside him, also warming herself by the fire.
“Mom wants to as well. But people can’t hibernate; they’d starve to death,” Tao Tao shivered.
In Happiness Base, their family was relatively well-off. As soon as Tao Tao saw it was snowing, without a second thought, she took all the Crystal Cores they had and ran to the supermarket to buy clothes and trousers.
They had browsed through the whole supermarket and knew it sold a wide range of items, including clothes and shoes.
Tao Tao reacted quickly, so she was the first one to get to the supermarket and buy clothes.
She even picked and chose.
She spent all their Crystal Cores on thick clothes.
This heavy snow, it was needless to say, was definitely going to be very cold.
Their food supply was already enough; they didn’t lack any for the time being, but they were short on clothes. It was so cold; they definitely needed to buy more clothes.
After buying the clothes, Tao Tao didn’t stay in the supermarket to enjoy the heating like others.
She and Xu Zhaixiao changed into the new clothes right there, dressed warmly, and took those clothes back home with them.
Tao Tao was afraid of being robbed.
They bought so many clothes; she feared others would be envious and steal them.
It wasn’t her overthinking; it really could happen. Even at the supermarket, there had been people eyeing them. If it weren’t for the supermarket’s rules, those people might have acted.
After rushing home, Tao Tao and Xu Zhaixiao didn’t go out anymore.
The snow was too heavy and too cold.
Going out, she feared they might freeze to death.
Since they now had enough food, drink, and clothes at home, they no longer needed to go out.
So, they comfortably nested at home.
But it was just too cold.
Even though they were dressed sufficiently, it was still very cold.
It was a bone-chilling cold.
Xu Zhaixiao was nearly frozen stupid.
He was so cold he didn’t even want to eat.
Because it was cold while cooking, and cold when washing dishes.
He felt sorry for his mom.
If people could hibernate, not needing to eat and could just lie in bed all the time, that would be great.
That was what Xu Zhaixiao was thinking.
Similarly, it was Tao Tao’s dream.
She, too, wanted to lie down and hibernate.
If possible, she’d be willing to lie in bed till the end of time, but it wouldn’t work, as people would starve to death after a few days without food.
Or maybe not starve to death, but become weak from hunger in the first few days, and then possibly die from the cold.
What Tao Tao was most worried about now was actually getting sick; it was so easy to fall sick in such cold weather, and once sick, it would be the end.
