Chapter 597: Little Trick
Did Su Yinhe really not know about his little schemes?
The little schemes of Lin Murong were actually quite easy to satisfy; all it needed was for Su Yinhe to raise a hand against Chi Yan, but Su Yinhe didn’t want to indulge him.
She wasn’t the type to fiddle with things when bored.
She was still experiencing the novelty of her relationship with Chi Yan.
She didn’t have the heart to lay a hand on him.
And as for Chi Yan, Su Yinhe merely had to pick up a kitchen knife and he would fear she might hurt herself.
He was always so antsy.
Fight with Su Yinhe?
An impossible feat.
If he truly fought with Su Yinhe, he’d probably just stand there, let her hit him, and at the same time he’d likely worry that her hand might hurt while hitting him.
So, it was impossible for the two of them to really fight.
Lin Murong’s little schemes, one could say they were easy to satisfy, but actually, they weren’t that easy to satisfy.
Because the two of them, they simply couldn’t bring themselves to fight.
But Lin Murong just wanted to see them fight, always speaking ill of Chi Yan in front of Su Yinhe.
All kinds of conjectures.
Twisting the facts in every way.
However, he only dared to badmouth Chi Yan in front of Su Yinhe, never daring to speak poorly of Su Yinhe in front of Chi Yan.
Chi Yan wouldn’t kill him.
Plus, he ate Su Yinhe’s food, lived in Su Yinhe’s place, where would he get the gall to say anything bad about Su Yinhe?
But Galaxy people are so nice; he could talk bad about Chi Yan in front of Galaxy and Galaxy wouldn’t hit him, unless he really went overboard, then Galaxy would hit him.
Thus, he kept blabbering in front of Su Yinhe.
Spouting all sorts of bad things about Chi Yan.
Su Yinhe: "..."
"You’re really thinking long-term," she said, even considering Chi Yan having children with her in the future.
She hadn’t even thought that much herself.
Su Yinhe rubbed her head.
For the time being, she just craved Chi Yan’s face, craved Chi Yan’s body.
Not like Lin Murong.
Thinking so far ahead.
"It’s not far ahead. I’m just considering all possible risks for you and then helping you avoid those risks," Lin Murong said with a straight face.
Su Yinhe: "..."
"Okay, okay, thank you. I’m so very thankful," Su Yinhe said with her hands pressed together, thankful to him. She was really scared, truly scared.
"No need to thank me, no need at all, just as long as you two have a fight," Lin Murong looked at her with eager anticipation.
He was especially curious, between the two of them, who was stronger.
Su Yinhe: "..."
Su Yinhe was rendered speechless by him.
"Alright, enough," she said.
"But..." Lin Murong was persistent, his heart set on watching the two fight.
"There’s no ’but’. Just let it go," Su Yinhe said expressionlessly.
Fight?
Fight with Chi Yan?
Impossible.
Maybe it would be possible to fight in the future.
But now, in the honeymoon phase, it’s not possible.
Lin Murong wasn’t discouraged and, having hit a wall with Su Yinhe, dared to ask Chi Yan.
Of course, he didn’t dare say too much in front of Chi Yan, just asked if Chi Yan could fight with Su Yinhe.
Chi Yan was speechless as well.
Gave him a beating.
And mercilessly rejected the idea.
He just wanted to know who was stronger between the two of them, what’s wrong with that?
Lin Murong bit on his sleeve, feeling wronged.
But no matter how wronged he felt, impossible was impossible.
This was absolutely impossible.
When he would get an answer to this question, he had no clue.
Though it was a big blow to him, Lin Murong still wanted to know, and he tried several more times.
The results...
Of course, they were all failures.
Failures that were utterly complete.
Su Yinhe and Chi Yan, two cold and heartless people, would only reject him.
Cold rejections, smiling rejections, beating him up while rejecting.
In any case, it was a rejection.
The kind without a sliver of hope.
How he despaired.
Lin Murong crouched in the corner, sobbing...
All he wanted was to see them fight; why was it so hard?
Such despair.
"I just wanted to..." Lin Murong, holding his head, emo-ed in the corner, acting like a mushroom.
Su Yinhe: "..." Some things she didn’t know whether to say or not.
Seeing Lin Murong like this, she was a bit scared.
At the time, fighting was not an option.
Su Yinhe chose to ignore it.
Anyway, after Lin Murong had his emo moment, he would recover on his own.
He would heal himself.
Su Yinhe really believed in him.
Lin Murong certainly didn’t disappoint her trust; although he didn’t get to see the fight and was very sad, he quickly got over it.
He became cheery again.
Su Yinhe admired his immense optimism.
She could speak freely in front of Lin Murong.
She didn’t have to worry about hurting his fragile soul.
Lin Murong would repair himself, back to his complete original state.
She liked this kind of thing.
Lin Murong probably didn’t even know that Su Yinhe liked him so much.
Liked him in this way.
After the few men had come by, no one else had come for a long time.
Lin Murong and Su Yinhe were both bored waiting.
Su Yinhe was even wrestling with the idea of whether to continue transporting goods from the supermarket or not.
Fortunately, just when she was about to act, more people arrived.
A woman, a woman with a child.
Both were skin and bones.
Lifeless eyes.
But when they saw the supermarket, a light sparked in those eyes.
They rushed into the supermarket, immediately grabbing food and stuffing it into their mouths.
Su Yinhe originally intended to stop them, but after seeing their condition, she chose not to.
She would consider it her daily good deed.
The mother and child ate for several minutes before stopping.
In those few minutes, they had shoved a lot of food into their stomachs.
They were so quick.
Because they were so skinny, their bellies became noticeably bulging.
After they finished eating, they seemed to realize that the food they consumed wasn’t ownerless.
The mother and child clung to each other, looking at Su Yinhe timidly.
Su Yinhe: "..."
She dreaded the sudden silence in the air.
Now, what should she say?
Su Yinhe stroked her chin, silent.
The mother and child continued to shiver as they looked at her.
But Su Yinhe didn’t know what to say.
Welcome to my store? Please feel free to choose?
But they didn’t look like they had any Crystal Cores.
Tattered clothes, their belongings clearly visible on their bodies.
Tell them they must work for her because they ate her food?
Not really an option.
She temporarily didn’t need any employees.
Lin Murong was enough.
It had to be said, Lin Murong was quite useful.
He could handle the hall, cook in the kitchen, clean up, eat spicy strips... huh, it seemed like something weird mixed in.
Strange.
Anyway, he was very helpful.
And besides, the two looked like a pair of skeleton frames, as if a slight push would scatter their bones; Su Yinhe didn’t dare ask them to work.
As for the bit of food they ate, Su Yinhe didn’t care about that.
She was wealthy, and she had plenty of supplies.
Let them eat.
She didn’t mind. She was rich, her resources were enormous. The supplies in the supermarket were infinite.
The mother and child below, however, were worried about the consequences of barging into an unknown place and eating so much of someone else’s food...
