Chapter 295: Equal Disdain

Lin Murong equally loathed the three of them.

Hmph.

He must be the only one left in the world with any discernment.

Lin Murong thought somewhat narcissistically.

Lin Murong quite enjoyed playing with Su An, feeling that the child also had good discernment, only slightly less so than his own but much better than Su Yinhe, Chi Yan, and Fangfang.

So every time Su An came over, he would drag him into playing together.

While playing, Su An would show his childlike nature, always forgetting that he also had a mother and that he was supposed to help her gather things.

But Su Linglong was actually relieved to see this.

She earnestly hoped that Su An would be more lively.

Su Linglong had also slowed down her zombie killing pace and was not fighting desperately like before.

Their food supply was now sufficient to last them for years.

She was initially anxious, but seeing Su An’s smile, she suddenly felt less so.

Their food was already more than enough.

To put it harshly, it was uncertain if they could survive long enough to use all that food.

Preparing so much food might have been in vain.

It might be better to make Su An happy now. Su Linglong did not want her child to share her anxieties.

Su An was already very sensible, which was enough, and she did not want him to be more so.

As a mother, she wanted her child to be happier and more lively.

As for Su Linglong’s wishes, Lin Murong felt that he was skilled in this area, exceptionally skilled and adept.

Of course, Su An was not the type of child to play carelessly, forgetting everything else.

While he played with Lin Murong, Su An sweet talked him into giving him gifts.

He and his mother could only obtain a few Low-Level Crystal Cores with great difficulty, but Lin Murong was an Advanced Superpower User, and every one of his casual gestures produced High-Level Crystal Cores.

One High-Level Crystal Core was worth dozens, even hundreds of Low-Level Crystal Cores.

It could be said that just a slight leak from Lin Murong’s fingers was enough for him and his mother to busy themselves for a long time.

Su An was playing, but his play had a purpose.

Lin Murong, this fool, unwittingly ended up giving many Crystal Cores to Su An.

Not only that, when Su An said he wanted to play house, Lin Murong bought many spices and kitchen utensils to play together with him.

And those spices and kitchen utensils after playing? Su An took them home, of course.

Su Linglong discovered that while her son was playing, they had accumulated many more spices and kitchen utensils, as well as various sauces.

The dishes on their dining table became much richer and tastier.

"Mom, am I amazing?" Su An boasted a little, having tricked so many items from Lin Murong.

Su Linglong hugged him and kissed him, "Amazing, so amazing. But mom could have exchanged for these things too, you don’t need to worry so much while playing."

Play should be joyful.

Su An was very sensible, so much so that it made her heart ache.

"I didn’t think too much. Brother Lin wanted to give these to me on his own. I didn’t ask for them." Su An blinked innocently.

He had never asked for them.

It was Brother Lin who was too lazy to tidy up, and let him do it instead; while tidying, he ended up taking things home.

"Alright then. I just hope you’re happier." Anan was still so young.

Children should be carefree.

"I am happy. Really happy. I have a mom who loves me so much, I can eat full meals, and I can play. I am really happy," Su An spoke the truth, and he was indeed very happy.

But precisely because he spoke the truth, Su Linglong felt even more heartbroken.

"Alright, alright, as long as you’re happy," Su Linglong stroked Su An’s head.

She didn’t know if it was because their diet had improved recently, following up with nutrition, but Su An’s originally sparse, yellow, and coarse hair had turned much blacker and thicker.

As Su Linglong touched it, she felt a deep sense of contentment.

"Mom, Brother Lin said he’s taking me to bake a cake tomorrow. Have you eaten cake before, Mom? What does cake taste like? Is it good? I’ll bring some back for you to eat."

"Yes, yes, yes. Cake... cake is really tasty. It’s especially sweet, Anan will definitely like it." Su Linglong spaced out for a bit; she couldn’t remember when was the last time she had eaten cake.

The memory was too distant; she had kind of forgotten.

All she remembered was that cake was a kind of delicious food.

Sweet.

A food that makes people feel happy.

"Okay. I’ll do my best to make it, make the biggest cake, and bring it back for Mom to eat." Su An clenched her fists.

"That’s good. Our Anan is really good."

Lin Murong and his group were going to make a cake, so naturally, they were going to get the ingredients from Su Yinhe.

And also, from Chi Yan.

Chi Yan had ingredients and tools for cake-baking as well.

Chi Yan also had the experience.

Lin Murong gave it considerable importance and in order to succeed in baking the cake, he risked getting beaten up and went to consult with Chi Yan.

Chi Yan didn’t tell him anything, just threw a bunch of ingredients at him and a notebook.

The notebook recorded some steps for baking cakes and his previous experiences with cake-baking.

Chi Yan was cold as ice, but he moved Lin Murong to tears.

"Brother Chi, I just knew that you’re sometimes a good person." Lin Murong said with emotion on his face.

Chi Yan: "..."

"If you can’t talk, then don’t talk." Chi Yan ended up beating him up.

Lin Murong covered his face, wondering why he got beaten up again.

He wasn’t supposed to get beaten up.

Chi Yan hadn’t seemed to want to beat him up just now, so why had he suddenly done so?

Lin Murong couldn’t figure it out.

He felt it was an unexpected disaster.

Although he got beaten up, at least he got the materials and notebook.

Lin Murong rubbed the spot where he had been hit, then eagerly went off with the materials and notebook to make the cake with Su An.

Fangfang was also dragged along.

Fangfang was puzzled.

"I’m just a robot, I can’t eat cake. Why do I have to go?" Fangfang was very confused.

"Oh come on. Even though you don’t eat cake, you can join us in making it. Later, when we make a pretty cake, you can take a picture, share it with Xiao Hua. That way, Xiao Hua will be really happy." Lin Murong coaxed him.

"After you take the picture, we can also help deal with the cake, to avoid waste. It’s such a good opportunity."

Fangfang was stunned.

"Is... is it really like that?"

"Yeah. Why would I lie to you? Just admit I’m right."

Fangfang hadn’t reacted yet.

But Su An next to him already realized something was off.

But seeing Lin Murong coax so earnestly, he really didn’t dare to tell the truth.

He could only desperately wink at Fangfang, but unfortunately, Fangfang didn’t catch his signals.

Still, he believed Lin Murong’s words and joined them in making the cake.

And it was fortunate that Fangfang was there to help them make the cake.

Otherwise, the cake would never have been made.

Because Lin Murong didn’t know how at all, and Su An was also a beginner; two beginners who didn’t understand anything.

They relied entirely on Fangfang playing videos.
