Chapter 371: My heart is too cold

After the noodles were ready, the three of them started to slurp.

The three of them sat together, slurping in unison—it looked quite funny at first glance.

Upon closer inspection, it was even funnier.

Lin Murong quickly slurped up all his noodles and drank up the soup. Clutching the noodle bucket, he stared at the empty container and sighed deeply.

He still missed the pickled pancake.

It wasn’t that the noodles weren’t tasty, but pickled pancakes had become his unattainable love.

What one can’t have always seems the best.

He still wanted to eat a pickled pancake.

"Sighing, huh?" Yun Wujiu had also finished his noodles. Seeing Lin Murong like this, he patted him on the shoulder.

After the apocalypse, their eating speeds had all become quite fast.

Because no one knew if the food might get snatched away the next second.

Even though they were quite capable, they ate quickly.

It had become a habit.

Food was only secure once it was in their stomachs.

If not eaten, it always felt like it could be stolen.

"I want to eat a pancake." Lin Murong looked up at the ceiling and sighed again.

"This... this... why don’t you make it yourself?" Yun Wujiu thought for a while before offering a suggestion.

He was just saying something off the top of his head.

But upon hearing this suggestion, Lin Murong got excited.

"Yeah. Right, I can make it myself." Lin Murong perked up.

He could make it himself.

He could eat as much as he wanted.

He wouldn’t need to watch Galaxy’s face anymore.

Alright, that settled it. He would make it himself.

"Thank you. You’re really smart. You guys stay here; I’m going to make the pancakes." No sooner had Lin Murong said this than he rushed off to make pancakes.

Xu Jiaoqin and Yun Wujiu were left staring at each other.

Good grief, he had already left.

What were they supposed to do now?

"Well... let’s just stay here." Xu Jiaoqin spoke up.

"Okay." Since Xu Jiaoqin had spoken, Yun Wujiu naturally listened to her.

The two of them just waited there.

In the meantime, Su Yinhe came down and saw them sitting there, bringing them two cups of milk tea.

"Boss, you’re being too polite. Really, we’re just..."

"No worries, no worries. It’s just two cups of milk tea. You guys were... um..."

"We’re waiting for Lin Murong. He said he was going to make pancakes and told us to wait here," Xu Jiaoqin explained.

Su Yinhe: "..."

Um...

How should she put it?

Lin Murong was really determined for a bite to eat.

Really.

She genuinely admired his spirit.

Quite impressive.

Also, she believed he would successfully make the pancakes.

Looking at the two waiting, after serving the milk tea, she also brought some snacks.

"Come on, have some snacks and take your time waiting." It was nice to have someone help her get rid of unnecessary snacks.

She thought she would have to store them for a long time.

"This... this is too kind." Xu Jiaoqin stared at the small mountain of snacks in front of her, taken aback.

There was no need to give so much.

How could she accept them?

She had already taken a lot from the owner.

"Don’t be shy, really, don’t be shy. These are snacks nobody eats. If you don’t mind, just eat and wait. Making pancakes... takes quite some time." And besides, it was probably Lin Murong’s first time making them.

"But..." Xu Jiaoqin still felt embarrassed.

"No worries, really, eat up. Don’t be shy."

"We won’t be polite then." Su Yinhe had insisted so many times, Xu Jiaoqin felt awkward continuing to decline.

Another reason was, she really wanted to eat.

They certainly weren’t lacking food, but snacks were rare.

She saw them and really craved them.

And she could tell.

The boss genuinely wanted to give her something.

How could she not accept?

So, the two of them, they began to wait and snack on the treats.

By the time they were almost full from the snacks, Lin Murong finally came downstairs with the pancakes he had made.

"Look at the pancakes I made!" Lin Murong said excitedly, holding the pancakes.

Xu Jiaoqin and Yun Wujiu put down their snacks and looked at the pancakes Lin Murong had made, falling into deep thought.

They wanted to compliment him.

After all, he had put a lot of effort into making them.

But looking at the color of these pancakes, they really couldn’t find the words to compliment him.

It was... incredibly green.

Are you sure these are pancakes?

"Hey! Don’t judge the pancakes by their looks; they should taste good."

Xu Jiaoqin: "..."

Yun Wujiu: "..."

What’s with ’should’? Why add a ’should’?

"Try them," Lin Murong divided the pancakes among them.

Xu Jiaoqin and Yun Wujiu each held a pancake, both hesitant to take a bite.

"Eat, don’t be shy. They’re tasty," Lin Murong urged them.

That was what he said, but...

"Why aren’t you eating?" Xu Jiaoqin asked the critical question.

"I... I’ll watch you eat first," Lin Murong smiled insincerely.

"Really? Or are you just having us test for poison?" Yun Wujiu asked more directly.

"No, no, absolutely not."

"Then you eat first."

Lin Murong clutched his stomach, "I ate a lot while making them, I can’t eat any more now. Trust me, they really are delicious."

Although Xu Jiaoqin and Yun Wujiu were skeptical, Lin Murong seemed so sincere.

They still took a bite.

Mmm...

Although they looked potentially poisonous and unpalatable, they surprisingly tasted quite good.

Seeing them go for several more bites, Lin Murong finally relaxed and started eating a pancake himself.

Mumbling while he ate,

"See, didn’t I tell you? Aren’t they delicious?"

Xu Jiaoqin and Yun Wujiu carefully tasted Lin Murong’s pancakes, compared them with the previous ones they had eaten, and gave an objective critique.

"They are tasty, but not as good as the Pickled pancakes we had earlier."

Lin Murong: "???"

"What? Just because the Pickled ones are tasty, mine with chives aren’t good?" Lin Murong thought to himself that the Pickled were indeed tastier, but how could he admit defeat?

He couldn’t admit defeat.

The pancakes he, Lin Murong, made couldn’t be worse than the ones Chi Yan made.

His must be better than Chi Yan’s.

Lin Murong successfully brainwashed himself like this.

Then he tried to brainwash the other two as well.

But Xu Jiaoqin and Yun Wujiu wouldn’t accept his brainwashing and even criticized him.

"But yours just aren’t as tasty as the earlier ones."

Lin Murong glared at them, "Is your heart frozen? So cold-hearted? I worked so hard to make pancakes for you, and you’re still eating my pancakes. How can you have the heart to say such things?"

"But, we should be honest, right?" Xu Jiaoqin said sincerely.

Lin Murong: "..."

Fine, fine, you’re honest, you’re noble.
