Capítulo 596: Secret
Such secrecy, such unspeakable things.
Lin Murong looked on, and a sudden fear rose in his heart.
He was about to eat a Fried Ice Cream.
“I shouldn’t dare, I shouldn’t dare. We should be thanking you,” Bai Yuanyuan gushed with chubby cheeks.
“Um… yeah, eat more. You’ve gotten thinner.” Although she also couldn’t remember if Bai Yuanyuan had actually lost weight at all. But saying this, she couldn’t go wrong.
Sure enough, Bai Yuanyuan was so moved by Su Yinhe’s words that she was practically in tears.
“Wuuu… you actually remember me, wuuu… you’re too kind,” Bai Yuanyuan’s face was full of emotion; she was on the verge of rushing over to embrace her and sobbing her heart out.
Su Yinhe: “…”
Damn, feeling so guilty.
So very guilty.
“It’s nothing…” She had said it off the cuff, so please don’t be so moved.
Su Yinhe put them off for a while, and it wasn’t until they had exchanged their Crystal Cores and gone inside to shop that she could finally relax.
Sometimes, being a shopkeeper isn’t that easy, actually.
Su Yinhe’s eyes lost their sparkle.
She wanted to be a salted fish.
A cute salted fish.
A salted fish that couldn’t turn over.
Even though a turning-over salted fish is still a salted fish, turning over still requires effort.
She, didnt want to use any effort.
She wanted to be a salted fish that didn’t need to turn over.
But, salted fish are easy to be eaten.
She didn’t want to be a salted fish that was eaten.
Please, let her be a salted fish covered in spines.
Su Yinhe clapped her hands together, praying online.
Lin Murong saw this and asked a question.
“Galaxy, are you… planning to convert to Buddhism?”
Su Yinhe: “…”
“That’s not it.”
“Then what are you doing with that gesture?” Lin Murong mimicked her exactly.
“Don’t you know?”
Su Yinhe glanced at him.
“Know… know what?” Lin Murong was utterly confused.
What’s there to know or not know.
What… does it mean.
“It’s nothing, nothing at all,” Su Yinhe waved her hand.
In her manner, Lin Murong was even more determined to understand.
“So what is it? Tell me,” Lin Murong pursued her for an answer.
“It’s really nothing, truly nothing.” She had merely said something on impulse.
There was actually no meaning to it.
But Lin Murong now didn’t believe her.
“Are you hiding something from me?” Lin Murong looked at her suspiciously.
“I’m not, I’m not, absolutely not. Go and have fun.” She needed rest.
Having just served so many people, she was exhausted.
Age was catching up to her; now she got tired from just a bit of activity.
“I don’t want to have fun. Tell me now,” Lin Murong insisted.
“There’s really nothing. You’re being unreasonable.”
Lin Murong pointed a finger at himself and then at her, “Me? I’m being unreasonable? Galaxy, when you act like this… who’s being unreasonable? Is that word used here?”
Su Yinhe nodded affirmatively.
With that nod, Lin Murong blew his top.
Lin Murong was easily angered.
He was just passing by, but now he didn’t want to leave; he had to cling to Su Yinhe for an answer.
But what answer did Su Yinhe have? She had just offhandedly made a comment; no matter how much Lin Murong pestered, she had no idea.
Let her come up with something on the spot; she couldn’t come up with anything at the moment.
Something had nibbled at her brain recently, it wasn’t functioning well. Not too bright anymore.
Right now, she was a, fool.
So when Xu Jiaoqin and the others came out, they found their beloved boss, looking utterly despairing, being gripped by the shoulders and shaken by Lin Murong.
Su Yinhe felt as if she was having an out-of-body experience.
“Let go of the boss, Lin Murong! How can you be like this, bullying the boss like that?” Xu Jiaoqin and the rest saw this, threw aside their stuff, and rushed over to punish Lin Murong.
It wasn’t that Lin Murong couldn’t fight them off.
But he knew they meant no harm, so after hesitating for a moment, that moment of hesitation led to him being pinned down by them.
A few people were restraining Lin Murong.
Lin Murong was dumbfounded.
“No… damn, what did I do wrong this time.” Lin Murong really began to doubt his life choices.
He had always thought of himself as a good person.
He hadn’t done anything wrong.
So why was he always the one getting hurt?
“Boss, we’re here to rescue you. Are you alright, boss?” Bai Yuanyuan looked at Su Yinhe, with a face full of concern.
It was only then that the astral-traveling Su Yinhe finally came to her senses.
“Ah?” Su Yinhe, having just snapped back to reality, couldn’t grasp the situation at all.
Why was Lin Murong being pinned down by so many people?
“Galaxy, explain to them. Damn, it’s kind of painful. Can you go a bit easier on me?” Lin Murong was speechless. He was only having a friendly chat with Galaxy, what did it have to do with them?
Why did they suddenly charge over and pin him down?
“Um… let him go, please.” They were really putting their all into restraining Lin Murong, one even popping veins.
If Lin Murong wasn’t an Advanced Superpower User, he would probably have been crushed… passed out by now.
So many people… it really couldn’t be called restraining, it was more like crushing.
“Boss, did he threaten you? Don’t be afraid, we’ll all help you,” Bai Yuanyuan said with a face full of concern.
Su Yinhe: “…”
Ah, not at all.
Did she give them the wrong impression?
“It’s fine, I’m really okay, let him go.” After all, it seemed like it was her fault; Lin Murong seemed quite innocent when you got down to it.
She had just played a prank on him, and now he’s in such a sorry state, being crushed by so many people.
It felt somewhat embarrassing.
Su Yinhe felt a bit guilty.
“Alright then, we’ll let you go for now.” They were somewhat reluctant when they let go of Lin Murong.
From their point of view, it looked like Lin Murong was bullying Su Yinhe.
Su Yinhe always appeared so weak and was getting bullied.
They knew as the boss, Su Yinhe definitely wasn’t weak. But she always seemed so, so fragile.
She rarely showed her fierce side, so they all thought she was fragile.
Lin Murong rubbed the spots where he had been crushed, feeling like he had bad luck.
Was he experiencing a spell of bad fortune recently?
Diarrhea, misunderstandings… it must be bad fortune.
Maybe he should also worship some deity.
Not many days later, Su Yinhe discovered that Lin Murong had started worshipping deities, complete with offerings.
Questioning Su Yinhe, understanding Su Yinhe, becoming Su Yinhe, surpassing Su Yinhe.
Su Yinhe: “…”
That’s… pretty outrageous.
Lin Murong even went about it in a serious manner, leaving Su Yinhe dumbfounded.
She watched, stunned, as Lin Murong set up the offerings, performed all sorts of complex movements, all kinds of bowing, and then, ate the offerings.
Su Yinhe: “…”
Okay, Lin Murong was still Lin Murong.
Nothing about him had changed, quintessentially Murong.
She thought he was actually going to devoutly worship a deity.
But in the end…
Who knew which deity was so unfortunate to have their offerings placed for only a few minutes before getting eaten?
But Lin Murong, someone who had survived the apocalypse for so long, shouldn’t really believe in deities, right?
This was what Su Yinhe thought, and she asked as much.
“Ah well, just casually believe a bit,” Lin Murong said nonchalantly. When it came to belief, he certainly wasn’t that devout.
