Chapter 293: Not Young Anymore

Su Linglong bowed deeply several times.

When they had arrived, they had only brought a small bag of Crystal Cores.

When they left, besides the items they had purchased, they also carried a bunch of things Su Yinhe had given them.

It was a bit heavy, but not one of them found it too heavy.

They liked that kind of weight.

Such weight gave them a sense of security.

A pack of spicy strips was cherished by the mother and son, each savoring a piece.

To complement the spicy strips, Su Linglong had specially made a pot of rice porridge.

She had bought rice today.

Apart from rice, there were also millet, mung beans, red beans, black beans, peanuts...

And a small bag of rock sugar.

Su Linglong wanted to make a sweet Eight-Treasure Porridge for her son.

Of course, she herself was craving it.

Mainly, it was her own craving.

Su Linglong had always been someone who loved gourmet food and enjoyed cooking.

She hadn’t had the chance before, but now that she did, she couldn’t wait.

"Is it tasty?" Su Linglong asked after she had finished the last spicy strip, her desire still not completely satisfied.

The last spicy strip was split in half, half for her, half for Su An.

After eating, Su Linglong even poured some rice porridge into the empty spicy strip package and poured it back out to eat.

"Tasty. Mom, this is really good," Su An was also captivated by the spicy strips.

"Then... let’s work a bit harder, and we can buy another pack tomorrow," aiming to kill a couple more zombies.

Su Linglong quietly made up her mind.

Su An licked his lips, "Okay."

Because of that pack of spicy strips, the next day, the two of them were as energetic as if they were on steroids.

The Crystal Cores they obtained were more than double that of the previous day.

So then...

"Let’s buy two packs of spicy strips today. One pack each," Su Linglong said, excited like a child.

"Okay. Two packs, one for each of us," Su An swallowed his saliva eagerly.

They said they would buy two packs, but they brought back four.

Su Yinhe had given them two more.

Su Linglong felt embarrassed when she received the extra spicy strips from Su Yinhe.

"We already took so much last time, and now we’re taking so much again..."

Su Linglong genuinely felt embarrassed.

"Why think so much about it?" Su Yinhe didn’t quite understand.

"But... Boss Su, you’ve really helped me a lot," Su Linglong felt that Su Yinhe was at a loss.

"I did it because I wanted to. If I didn’t want to, even if you knelt before me and kowtowed until your forehead bled, I might not even spare you a glance," Su Yinhe said, touching her hair nonchalantly.

Su Linglong was moved.

Her look towards Su Yinhe was different.

Su Yinhe: "..."

Su Yinhe quickly backed away, covering his chest, "I’m very straight."

Su Linglong: "???"

She wasn’t that kind of person at all.

She already had a child.

Su Linglong touched her face.

She was no longer young.

When she was young, she might have been that kind of person.

But she wasn’t young anymore.

It wasn’t easy to turn that way again.

"Eat the spicy strips as you like, play with Fangfang however you want. Just don’t hit on me."

Su Linglong: "..."

She really wasn’t that kind of person.

Really.

Not that kind of person.

Really, really.

Boss, please don’t ruin my reputation.

Su Linglong screamed inwardly.

But on the outside, she still wore a look of shyness.

Then Su Yinhe became even more afraid.

She was so scared that after they left, she went up and clung to Chi Yan, frantically sniffing him a few times to calm her nerves.

Within a few days, Su Linglong noticed that there were two more men beside Boss Su.

Yes, two, one Chi Yan, one Lin Murong.

Su Linglong looked at them, then at Su Yinhe.

Silence.

She originally wanted to chat with Su Yinhe, but suddenly with two extra men around, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

So she was exceptionally quiet this time.

When Lin Murong arrived, he started playing with Fangfang.

Then, Su An couldn’t play with Fangfang anymore.

Su An looked at Fangfang, and his mood plummeted while watching her play with Lin Murong.

This made Su Yinhe feel very guilty.

"Lin Murong, move aside," Su Yinhe chose to ask Lin Murong to step aside.

Su An was just a kid and hadn’t played with Fangfang many times.

Lin Murong had already played with Fangfang so many times; missing a few wouldn’t hurt him.

"Why?" Lin Murong was baffled.

"Let the little friend play," Su Yinhe gestured to Su An who was standing aside.

When Su Yinhe pointed over, Su An quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, I’m fine. Brother, you play, brother, you play, I won’t join in."

Lin Murong was initially reluctant, but after hearing Su An’s words, he became willing immediately.

"Come on over, little friend, let’s play together. I’ll look after you," Lin Murong beckoned him over.

"I... don’t need to," Su An felt a bit awkward.

"Come here. It’s fun when the three of us play together," the more the merrier.

Galaxy and Chi Yan thought he and Fangfang were childish; now that he had caught someone to play with, it seemed pretty good.

The more Lin Murong thought about it, the happier he became.

Then he waved frantically at Su An.

Seeing Su An not coming over, Lin Murong directly stood up, went over, and pulled Su An to join in the play.

Lin Murong’s excessive enthusiasm scared Su An a little.

But Lin Murong really knew how to bring joy; Su An was initially a bit reserved, but as he played with Lin Murong, he loosened up.

They laughed together.

Su Yinhe: "..."

Truly Lin Murong.

As her son played with Lin Murong, Su Linglong went shopping in the supermarket by herself.

Touching here, feeling there.

She wanted to buy everything in the supermarket.

But, she was broke.

Too poor.

If she had a bit more money, she would’ve bought everything.

But for now, she could only stare at the shelves in the supermarket and shed tears of poverty.

While Su Linglong was roaming the supermarket, Lin Murong had already fished out all of their details from Su An’s mouth.

Su An actually didn’t want to reveal too much, but Lin Murong was just too good at talking.

Unwittingly, he coaxed out their entire situation.

Su An, after spilling all their details, then realized that something seemed off.

"Brother, were you trying to fish for information from me?"

"No, brother is just concerned about you, that’s not fishing for information," Lin Murong would not confess.

He didn’t own up to it now, but after Su Linglong and the others left, he turned around and told Su Yinhe everything.

"You sure know a lot. You’ve only known them for a few hours, yet you’ve managed to find out so much."

She had known Su Linglong and the others for quite a few days, and she only knew their names.

During their last chat, she hadn’t inquired about anything.

Lin Murong knew even more than she did.

"That’s right," Lin Murong said with pride.

"Who am I? I am Lin Murong."

Su Yinhe: "You seem quite proud of yourself."

"Not really," Lin Murong scratched his head.

"Hmm."

Su Yinhe tossed him a bag of spicy strips, "Here, have some spicy strips."

"Ah? Why are you suddenly offering me spicy strips? You aren’t secretly in love with me, are you?" Lin Murong touched his face, narcissistically.

As he bragged, he forgot that Chi Yan was right beside him.
