Chapter 114: Starvation-proof
Anyway, it wasn’t expensive for her.
She wasn’t lacking a few bags of rice.
“Take a look.” The vendor watched Su Yinhe approach his stall and burst into joy.
And he very eagerly pointed out a vase on the stall for her to see.
“Not just the vase, I have other things too. Take everything if you’re interested. I only want a bag of rice.”
The vase was quite small, with a crack running along its surface.
Su Yinhe looked at it for a long ti but couldn’t figure it out.
Damn, she was just a little good-for-nothing, unable to recognize valuable items.
Su Yinhe felt very sad.
Seeing Su Yinhe’s expression wasn’t right, the vendor panicked, thinking she was dissatisfied with the vase.
“This… If you are not satisfied with the vase, I have other things, inkstones! Do you want an inkstone? And this ruyi scepter…” Wang Xiaowang was in a hurry. He really wanted to get a bag of rice.
He couldn’t just watch a bag of rice slip through his fingers. He was one step away from success; he couldn’t lose all his efforts now.
“Wrap it up,” Su Yinhe said, still very sad.
“Ah?! Okay.” The business he thought would fail succeeded. Wang Xiaowang almost didn’t catch on, but as soon as he did, he started to wrap it up.
“Use this.” Su Yinhe took out a large plastic case and several stacks of bubble wrap.
This stuff was used to reduce the impact on goods during delivery.
Su Yinhe loved pinching the bubbles with her nails and popping them; it was a very stress-relieving process.
She hadn’t expected it could also be used in such a situation.
She didn’t think she’d be using it to buy antiques when she stuffed it into her space.
The space thing was really useful.
Once Su Yinhe used it, she was addicted. Later, her space was almost always cramd with stuff.
Food, drinks, and even trash.
In the supermarket, trash went into the automatic disposal bins.
Outside, there were no trash bins, and although it was the apocalypse, Su Yinhe was a person of quality. She had cultivated the habit from a young age; she didn’t allow herself to throw trash anywhere but in a trash bin.
Bla it on her being too proper.
Su Yinhe reflected for a mont.
Then she looked down and saw that the vendor had already packed… finished packing the antiques.
He had done it so quickly that Su Yinhe couldn’t believe it and had to check carefully, worried that he’d done a sloppy job.
These were antiques, after all.
Things she, a common person, would never co into contact with in her life.
Surprisingly, he had packed them quite well.
After Wang Xiaowang finished packing, he looked at her with a very earnest gaze.
Rice.
Quick.
Su Yinhe: “…”
Su Yinhe took out the rice and then cramd the antiques into her space.
Then she saw Wang Xiaowang repeating Xiao Wang’s actions.
But Wang Xiaowang added an extra step, “Boss, my na is Wang Xiaowang. Hope to see you again.”
Su Yinhe: “…”
Mixed feelings.
Didn’t want to talk.
Suddenly taking out two bags of rice, other vendors looked at Su Yinhe as if she were a succulent piece of fat at.
That gaze, Su Yinhe accidentally t one and nearly jumped in fright.
“Boss, co here and take a look.”
So were so anxious they directly started handling things.
Su Yinhe shopped with a mix of happiness and pain all day.
Happy because she could buy as much as she wanted without considering the price, which was very exhilarating.
Painful because, bloody hell, there were too many people. Everyone wanted her to buy from them, probably thinking she was a formidable Superpower User to be reckoned with. Their actions were reasonably polite, not over the top, but just too enthusiastic.
She couldn’t handle it.
When Lin Murong ca to find her, he saw Su Yinhe with a dazed look, squatting on the ground and drawing circles.
Her hair disheveled, her spirit totally absent.
“F*ck. What did you do?” Lin Murong hadn’t expected to find Su Yinhe in such a state.
“Bought a tiny little bit of stuff.” And then people kept talking in her ear, creating a ruckus.
After a while, you get numb to it.
“Did you have lunch?” Lin Murong had waited for her at lunchti, but never saw her; he worried the food would get cold and then rembered that Su Yinhe had space and should be starvation-proof.
He ate the portions for three, tearfully.
Indeed, Chi Yan had yet to leave his tent.
“No, I forgot…” Hilarious, I was so busy buying stuff, I didn’t even realize I was hungry.
Only after Lin Murong ntioned it did Su Yinhe rember she hadn’t eaten and felt a bit hungry.
But in reality, she wasn’t very hungry.
“Let’s go back.” If Su Yinhe didn’t go back, he would end up tearfully eating three portions again.
“Mm.” Su Yinhe was a little shaky on her feet when she stood up.
After returning, the rice had already been cooked.
Lin Murong had also prepared a few more dishes.
“Is Chi Yan not eating?” Su Yinhe asked, curious as she watched Lin Murong wolfing down his food.
“He’s not eating, he’s starvation-proof. Don’t worry.” Lin Murong continued shoveling down his food, not slowing down.
Su Yinhe: “…”
“How did it go? How much stuff did you buy?”
“Just a tiny bit,” Su Yinhe said nonchalantly.
“Hehe, then I’ll take you to check out another place tomorrow.”
“No need. I have an appointnt.” A vendor who hadn’t left after selling his goods asked her, in a secretive manner if she’d be interested in antiques.
He said his family still had a few well-preserved pieces.
Su Yinhe decided to check it out.
“An appointnt? With whom?” Who dared to hit on Brother Chi’s girl?
“Why are you reacting like this?” Su Yinhe looked at him weirdly, it was just looking at so antiques.
“Er… well, Galaxy, you see, even though the base seems calm, it’s actually quite dangerous.” Lin Murong inwardly cursed Chi Yan a few tis, guard duty, guard duty, always guard duty, he’s losing his girl while guarding, and here Lin Murong had to step in.
“Huh? What kind of danger?” Su Yinhe was a bit curious.
Honestly, ordinary dangers didn’t impress her; after all, she was a woman with a superpower.
“If an unfamiliar man asks you out, he’s definitely a bad guy.” The kind of guy that hits on a girl at first sight can’t be good.
Su Yinhe was speechless.
What the hell.
Lin Murong sounded just like an overprotective father.
What did he take her for?
“Cough… cough cough…” Su Yinhe choked.
Lin Murong hurriedly got her so water.
Once Su Yinhe got her breath back, she looked at Lin Murong sowhat speechlessly.
“Don’t look at like that. I’m just sharing my wisdom, and n understand n the best. n are no good, except for my Brother Chi, of course.” So sad.
Chi Yan owes him a chicken leg.
Chi Yan was catching up on sleep, while he was patching up for Brother Chi’s neglect.
So tragic.
This was the second one.
The second person today who wanted to impart wisdom to her.
Why did everyone like to share their ‘wisdom’ with her?
And it’s always so weird sort of wisdom.
Thinking of the advice reminded her of Xiao Wang and, subsequently, what Xiao Wang had said.
All of a sudden, the food in her mouth lost its flavor.
Not very hungry to begin with, Su Yinhe decided not to eat.
She tossed the bowl and the rice into her space to keep it fresh.
“You’re not eating? You’re too skinny as it is and now you’re skipping als,” Lin Murong looked at her disapprovingly.
He was like soone watching their picky kid not eating.
Su Yinhe: “…”
Numb.
Tired.
Let it all end.
With the situation as it was, there was no chance of a shower; Su Yinhe wiped herself down with a wet wipe, then went to sleep.
