Chapter 334: I almost starved to death

Chapter 334: I almost starved to death

Lin Murong ate so much, so much, until he was finally full.

After he had eaten his fill, he began to hold Su Yinhe and cry.

"Galaxy... wu wu wu wu... You have no idea, I almost starved to death. Just a little bit... just a little bit and I would’ve starved to death. Then you would never see me again..." Lin Murong cried miserably.

His cries were so pitiful that Su Yinhe could hardly break free.

Although, really, the smell was overpowering.

Su Yinhe was struggling with it.

"Okay, okay, you... can you let go first?" Her clothes, oh.

"No, I must talk to you properly about the days I’ve been through." Lin Murong wouldn’t let go; he needed to cry.

Su Yinhe: "..."

She had been so worried about Lin Murong that she had selectively ignored the smell, but now...

Ah.

It was quite suffocating.

If he didn’t let go soon, she might pass out.

"Talk is talk, but let go first. Look at yourself, why don’t you take a bath first?" Su Yinhe wondered if she was being too gentle in her wording.

"Bathing isn’t important; what’s important is that I tell you how miserable my past few days have been."

Lin Murong hadn’t bathed these past few days, almost getting used to not bathing.

Su Yinhe: "..."

"Chi Yan! Save me!" Su Yinhe couldn’t take it anymore; she didn’t want to faint, so she loudly called for Chi Yan.

As soon as she shouted, Chi Yan appeared.

Chi Yan’s expression was originally very calm, but it changed as soon as he saw Lin Murong.

"Brother Chi! Hey! Did you miss me?" As soon as Lin Murong saw Chi Yan appear, he immediately switched targets.

These past few days, he not only missed Su Yinhe but Chi Yan as well.

His longing was so great that he had forgotten Chi Yan was a clean freak.

He hadn’t bathed, and the smell on him was something Chi Yan couldn’t stand.

He forgot, and as he rushed over,

then...

he got kicked away.

He flew quite a distance.

Su Yinhe: "..."

"You... take it easy. Lin Murong has been away for so many days, and as soon as he gets back, you just... cough, cough, cough." Speaking of which, Su Yinhe felt a bit guilty.

At the time, she had thought about going out to look for Lin Murong, but once Chi Yan said something, she felt reassured, and then... completely forgot about Lin Murong.

For so many days, she never thought to go look for him.

"Sorry." Chi Yan briefly apologized, "I can’t go easy."

Su Yinhe: "... Okay, okay. You’re a germaphobe, I understand... I understand." Whether Lin Murong understood was another matter.

However, Lin Murong’s opinion didn’t matter.

After Chi Yan had kicked Lin Murong away, he geared up for full-body protection, then went to pick Lin Murong up and dragged him to the bathroom for a thorough scrub.

God knows how much force he used, but Lin Murong’s screams of agony were exceptionally loud.

Su Yinhe: "..."

Yikes.

My teeth are on edge.

I feel the pain.

Su Yinhe touched her arm.

She felt the pain on behalf of Lin Murong.

Hopefully, Lin Murong could come out alive.

Fortunately, although Chi Yan was heavy-handed, Lin Murong was resilient and made it through.

He came out alive.

It’s just that his whole person was red all over.

His face was all red.

"Did he even scrub your face?" Lin Murong’s face...

Su Yinhe looked at it and felt a bit of pain.

"Wu wu wu wu... That bastard Chi Yan! He... he actually wanted to scrub me with a steel wool pad! I almost died in there." Lin Murong cried again, clinging to Su Yinhe’s legs.

Su Yinhe: "..."

"If it weren’t for my frantic resistance, you wouldn’t be able to see me, Galaxy." Lin Murong cried loudly.

He was so pitiful.

He was hungry for so many days, had just finished eating, and was then treated like this.

"Aiya, aiya, stop crying. Stop crying already." Su Yinhe’s head hurt from his crying.

"No, I’ll just cry. Waaaah..." Lin Murong was rebelliously tearful.

Su Yinhe: "..."

Dammit.

If Lin Murong hadn’t been cleaned up by Chi Yan just now, and he had hugged her with that same filthy smell on him, she would’ve kicked him flying away too.

"Sigh," Su Yinhe sighed helplessly.

"Galaxy, why are you sighing? Don’t you miss me? Haven’t you missed me at all these days I’ve been away?" Lin Murong stared straight into her eyes.

To be honest.

She hadn’t.

Really hadn’t at all.

These past few days without Lin Murong, Su Yinhe had been having a great time.

But...

Somehow, it felt a bit too harsh to say it directly.

"I missed you, missed you," Su Yinhe responded perfunctorily.

"Really? You’re not lying to me? Have you guys gone out looking for me these days? Did you ever think to look for me since I was gone for so long?" Lin Murong was crying, and something was definitely off.

The place he was hiding, if they had gone out to look for him, it’s not like they wouldn’t have found him.

They couldn’t have just not looked for him, could they?

"This... that... Murong, do you want some pudding? Chi Yan made some new pudding, it’s really delicious. It’s that caramel pudding," Su Yinhe tried to change the subject.

Her attempt was quite clumsy, but fortunately, Lin Murong wasn’t too smart and was easily distracted.

However, she lost the caramel pudding that Chi Yan had made for her.

Chi Yan harbored a deep grudge.

"How can you give it to him, the pudding I made for you? How could you?" Chi Yan was not pleased.

"Oh dear, oh dear, he’s been out suffering for so many days, let’s nourish him, nourish him, cough cough cough..."

"I need nourishment too. Why didn’t you nourish me?" Chi Yan asked as he looked at her.

Su Yinhe: "..."

Nourish, nourish, what’s there to nourish?

It’s just caramel pudding, how much nourishment could it possibly provide?

Besides, didn’t you make that caramel pudding yourself?

Nourishing you with something you made yourself.

Giving a gift in return by using the very thing received isn’t quite the way to do it.

Su Yinhe felt he was being unreasonable.

In fact, Chi Yan was indeed being unreasonable.

On purpose.

Su Yinhe knew it, but what could she do? She liked him, after all.

Nothing in the world compares to a simple "I like you."

So, Su Yinhe could only bring out the caramel pudding he had made for her to appease him.

Although he ended up eating his own caramel pudding, Chi Yan was still very happy.

This was a sign that Galaxy valued him.

Su Yinhe sighed in resignation.

"Sigh."

Life is tough.

Being a boss is tough too.

Perhaps it was because of getting caught in a hailstorm and being forced to starve for five or six days, but Lin Murong didn’t like going out anymore.

He used to want to go out and play often, but now, he just stayed in the supermarket every day, cuddling a pile of snacks while watching TV shows.

The snacks, provided by Su Yinhe.

The TV shows, provided by Su Yinhe.

In short, everything was thanks to Su Yinhe.

Occasionally, Lin Murong would remember Brother Wu Ming, who had shared hardships with him.

He also wanted to help Wu Ming latch onto a powerful supporter.

But he couldn’t even ensure his own stability, how could he help someone else.

And besides, wouldn’t that just add another competitor?

People are ultimately selfish.

He didn’t want even more people to come.

So, Lin Murong didn’t mention Wu Ming’s affair to Su Yinhe.

But he was still very thankful for the roasted rabbit that Wu Ming had shared, so after returning, he secretly brought some food for Wu Ming.

He discreetly left it there, making sure Wu Ming didn’t notice.
