Chapter 203: pickled buns Chapter 203: pickled buns Lin Murong made the acquaintance of several older brothers, and then began to feel the pangs of hunger.
There wasn’t enough to eat. There really wasn’t enough, and there was no way to snatch more. There really wasn’t.
The thing was, despite his great sacrifices, the information the older brothers provided turned out to be only partly useful.
Most of it was stuff that couldn’t be described.
Lin Murong: “…”
Sotis, being alone and out and about could be quite helpless.
After chatting with the older brothers for just a few days, Lin Murong already felt quite drained.
When Su Yinhe had a good look at him, she was almost scared to death.
“You stayed up all night doing howork yesterday, didn’t you? You look so drained.”
She counted the months; in her world, it was also the ti when students were starting a new school year.
The days before school started were for staying up late, battling on with a pen in solitude, creating miracles.
Once upon a ti, she was one of them.
“Howork? I wish I could do it. If there wasn’t an apocalypse, I’d go to school every day.” Lin Murong yawned and then drifted off like a wandering ghost, floating and floating…
He grabbed a stead bun from the dining table and stuffed it into his mouth, a rather ordinary pickled bun.
It was a little sour.
The sour taste gave Lin Murong a jolt, and he perked up for a bit but soon started feeling listless again.
For his next bun, he smartly picked a at bun.
The stead buns were brought out by Chi Yan, who had collected them in a hurry or sothing, mixing all the flavors together, so that even Chi Yan himself couldn’t tell them apart.
Su Yinhe also couldn’t tell them apart; she just wanted to eat a at bun but ended up biting into a barbecued pork bun.
But Lin Murong was different from them; he seed to have a superpower. Except for the first bun that was a pickled bun, all the others were at buns.
All the at buns ended up in his mouth.
Su Yinhe looked at the one-third eaten barbecued pork bun in her hand and suddenly felt depressed.
Barbecued pork buns, her least favorite stead bun.
She didn’t really want to eat it anymore, but then again, wasting food wasn’t good either, so she forced herself to keep stuffing it in.
She felt full after just one bite of the barbecued pork bun.
Then, she nibbled away slowly, swallowing with each small bite.
As she ate, she felt like retching.
Seeing Lin Murong eating so deliciously gave her an appetite, but then she looked down at the barbecued pork bun in her hand and instantly felt like vomiting.
Eating breakfast was as painful as being punished.
In any case, it was very painful.
Chi Yan only showed up briefly this morning to bring out breakfast and then ran back to his room, busy with so odd jobs.
Wait, why did she say “odd” jobs?
She had beco weird as well.
Su Yinhe tried hard to eat, but when half was left, she really couldn’t swallow anymore.
Forget it, she’d put the rest in her space.
If there ca a day when she was incredibly hungry, she’d take it out and see if she could eat a few more bites.
In her heart, Su Yinhe knew that the remaining half barbecued pork bun, once put away in her space, would probably never be taken out again.
But then, humans always liked to deceive themselves.
What if, one day, she fell in love with it… forget it, that was impossible to love.
Barbecued pork buns, a lifelong nesis.
Even more detestable than custard buns.
Similarly, there were the mixed nuts mooncakes.
These three belonged to the category of foods that even if she was starving for a long, long ti, she would at most take one bite.
Any more than that would be unbearable.
Any more and she would feel like throwing up.
After Lin Murong finished the at buns, he began to eat the other buns.
In the end, all the buns that Chi Yan brought out went straight into his mouth.
When Lin Murong ate, he liked to eat his favorite first and saved the less appetizing for last.
As for Su Yinhe, she preferred to save her favorites for the very last.
However, doing so often led others to believe she didn’t like the very thing she was saving for the end, and then, with a stretch of a hand or chopsticks, the delicious thing she had saved for last was gone.
Gone.
Just like that, gone.
But she really couldn’t change.
She just liked to save the best for last.
After Lin Murong finished the stead buns, he very conscientiously cleaned up and washed everything.
Su Yinhe was quite satisfied, a man who loves cleanliness and doesn’t procrastinate, even if he wasn’t her type, she would still feel good about him.
Well…
Not that kind of feeling.
Just a pure appreciation.
“What now? Finished eating and planning to continue looking for your big brother?” Su Yinhe asked when she saw Lin Murong getting ready to leave again.
“No, they eat too much, I really can’t handle it anymore. I’m planning to switch to so other big brothers.” Those few big brothers weren’t very capable but sure could eat a lot.
He simply couldn’t stand it any longer.
He wasn’t the kind of person who would rather starve himself to feed others.
It’s okay if these big brothers are useless; there are so many big brothers in this world, he was sure to find a few useful ones.
If the big brothers are useless, just replace them, just replace them.
He would definitely find the suitable ones.
As for whether the original big brothers would chase after him, that was not a problem; he would have new big brothers by then, and they would take care of him.
At least they wouldn’t let him die.
But, he was so strong, he probably wouldn’t die.
He was really badass.
He felt his superpower had grown recently, not sure if it was because he was hungry.
Hearing this, Su Yinhe tilted her head, puzzled.
So, you could just change big brothers like that?
Quite an eye-opener.
Really quite an eye-opener.
“I’m going out, wait for to co back. I’ll definitely co back full today, and won’t let you guys go hungry.”
Lin Murong said this entirely because he had treated big brothers to a al the day before yesterday, and although the big brothers were full, he was still hungry.
When he ca back, he would definitely eat a lot.
He ended up eating a whole pot.
At that ti, Su Yinhe hadn’t even served herself rice and only took two bites of vegetables.
Chi Yan had only half a bowl.
Upon discovering this, Lin Murong’s face was filled with sha.
He swore that next ti he would definitely leave a bowl for each of them.
Su Yinhe: “…Alright, good luck.”
Lin Murong left full of vitality.
After Su Yinhe sat down, she took out the half-eaten char siu bun, looked at it for a few minutes, then threw it back into the space.
Forget it, forget it, if you can’t do it, there’s no use in forcing yourself.
Things she really couldn’t eat could just keep on being left there.
After all, they wouldn’t get moldy or rotten.
She wasn’t exactly wasting food.
But damn it, she still felt guilty.
Feeling guilty, Su Yinhe decided to go out for a walk and make so “friends” just like Murong.
Okay, actually, she just wanted to practice.
To find a few who were asking for it, to test things out.
Of course, before going out, Su Yinhe made sure to disguise herself.
Her makeup skills had soared recently.
Even her own mother wouldn’t recognize her.
She chose the appropriate clothes and took a bag of food with her.
Then, the mont she stepped out the door, seven or eight “friends” wanted to make “friends” with her.
Su Yinhe looked at them and smiled faintly, “Sure.”
Hearing her agreent, the “friends” who wanted to “make friends” with her got excited.
“So understanding, that’s great. Rest assured, when it cos to your stuff, you’ll get a share. You’re so pretty… Ahhh! My hand! Ah!”
“I know I’m pretty, thanks friend for complinting my beauty,” Su Yinhe said as she twisted his paw that was about to land on her shoulder.
