Chapter 952: Chapter 516: Celebrate the New Year in Advance

The sky was blue, and the afternoon sun was warm.

The air was fresh, and the roads were spacious.

The wife was getting prettier and more enticing. But the stomach... was getting hungrier and hungrier...

On a bus in Provincial City, Yan Fei, sitting by the aisle, leaned over with one hand propping up his head and tilted his head towards the young woman sitting by the window. Every so often, his mouth would rapidly puff up a few times, followed by a swallowing motion.

While doing this, he had to stealthily check if the girl noticed him and be on guard against other passengers noticing anything odd about him.

Fortunately, the girl was accustomed to sitting by the window when taking the bus, and she was now gazing out at the closely packed shops, voicing her opinions.

Yan Fei would occasionally make a few non-committal noises in response, and then quickly "transfer" a piece of jerky directly to his mouth from the dinosaur world, swallowing it as rapidly as possible.

Because each time he came over, the girl never wanted to part from him even for a moment, whether they were inside or outside.

Yan Fei felt the same, of course.

So he deserved to suffer the pangs of hunger while accompanying the girl out to have fun—since catching rabbits had kept them up half the night, it was only natural for them to wake up late and slowly get up to cook and eat lunch.

This wasn’t because they’d slept too little, now even the girl’s physical fitness surpassed that of ordinary people; she wouldn’t be unable to get out of bed just because she’d slept in a bit—the reason they woke up late was simple, a holiday without lingering in bed would be undeniably imperfect.

Having just had lunch and gone out to play, Yan Fei had already devoured a bag of beef jerky in front of the girl while waiting for the bus. That was beef jerky, and if a regular person consumed a whole bag, they would definitely suffer indigestion. But to him, that bag of beef jerky didn’t even count as a snack.

The deep-sea giant squid might be formidable, but after all, its weight is there, and it’s so big.

But a thirty-meter-long ichthyosaur is akin to a blue whale in the real world. Even if he used to turn into the largest dinosaur on land, compared to the weight of this ichthyosaur, he would come up short!

"You rascal, you’ve been nibbling on a bag of seeds this whole time. When will you finish them? Put them away now, you’re not allowed to eat on the bus." The bus stopped at a station, and a young mother just getting on the bus quickly told her child to pack up the snacks.

The mischievous seven- or eight-year-old kid reluctantly stowed away the sunflower seeds, grumbling, "It’s not like I have Doraemon’s magic pocket, how can I ever finish them? It’s only because you hardly ever buy them for me, I don’t want to eat them all at once..."

The mother immediately laughed, hugged the child and kissed him, pulling him to stand by her side: "Alright, alright, my baby feels wronged. I’ll buy some for you whenever you want in the future. But you can’t eat too many..."

Yan Fei, who was chewing dinosaur jerky, paused. He felt that this mother-and-son dialogue might be very helpful to him. At the very least, it could help him get out of his current predicament.

Before he figured it out, Xu Xiaoyan, whose attention was drawn away by the bus stopping, turned her head and saw his still puffed-up mouth and casually asked, "Didn’t you finish that beef jerky? Why do you still have some?"

"Not yet!" Yan Fei immediately reacted, knowing what he had to do. "I eat slowly. How could I finish such a big pack of beef jerky so quickly?"

"Didn’t you say you finished it just now?" Xu Xiaoyan found him a bit strange.

"Where did I finish it? I was worried you’d get too tired from playing this morning, so I saved some in the bag for you," Yan Fei said with a smile.

Then he reached into his worn bag, fumbled around, and pulled out a pack of ’beef jerky’: "See, isn’t it unfinished?"

"If we’re afraid of being hungry at night, we could just come back earlier to cook. If you want to eat, just eat it all yourself!" The girl didn’t think much of it, the bus started moving, she continued looking outside. "Provincial City is changing so fast, there’s a lot more high-rises over here..."

Yan Fei couldn’t care less about how many high-rises there were in Provincial City. He was triumphant, thankful that after finishing the beef jerky, he had been too lazy to walk a few more steps to the trash can and had directly thrown the beef jerky packaging into the "bag."

Of course, that "beef jerky" had changed in appearance; he hadn’t had time to pack real beef jerky amidst the rush and had just casually "grabbed" a handful of dinosaur jerky and put it in the bag.

But it didn’t matter, the jerky in this bag would soon become real beef jerky.

And this bag of beef jerky would never run out no matter how much he ate—unless the girl saw with her own eyes, or personally ate the last piece from the bag and threw the bag into the trash can to destroy the evidence, otherwise Yan Fei was confident he could make the girl suspect nothing.

So, that afternoon, as Yan Fei and Miss Xu Xiaoyan continued their outing from the forest park to People’s Park, from University Road to Cultural Road, from the southern suburbs to North Ring Road, Yan Fei managed to do two things while playing: one was eating beef jerky, and the other was eating dinosaur jerky.

That evening when they returned, he sneaked away, quickly ordered No.1 Coolie and No.2 Coolie to slaughter a cow and stew several large pots of beef so he could eat whenever he had a chance.

When New Year’s Day holiday ended, he returned to Sancha River.

Despite everyone being extremely busy at the end of the year, he started living like a hermit who didn’t bother with anything, practicing martial arts and eating meat at home every day, with his free time spent reading and studying; he was utterly well-behaved.
