Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Taste the Flavor of One’s Heart_1

You hesitated suddenly.

Although seeing is believing, you definitely did not detect any unusual actions from the old woman just now, but as she said herself, these dumplings are made of human hearts, and after eating them, you’ll be dragged straight into Hell by the Skeleton Hand.

This is a dilemma.

Tch!

You scratched your head and found that the old woman was still smiling at you with her voice sounding like a sawing machine, "Young man, don’t you want to taste your own heart?"

No one wants to eat that!

With the old woman putting it that way, you were even less inclined to take the dumplings she was offering.

"Young man, if you don’t eat, you won’t be able to leave tonight," she said.

Great, now I’m being threatened!

The horrifying thing was, you suddenly realized that your legs couldn’t move!

"What’s going on? Why can’t my legs move!"

You looked at the old woman in terror, but she remained hunched over, still smiling warmly at you. The bowl of steamy dumplings in her hands didn’t cool down despite the cold night wind, continuing to give off a warmth that was comforting for the soul.

"Eat, eat, after you do, you’ll know what your heart tastes like."

"Old lady, I haven’t offended you, why would I eat this stuff, can I not eat it?" you gave the old woman what you thought was a charming smile.

Alright then, if the hard way doesn’t work, let’s try a softer approach, you were always cunning.

But it turned out she was impervious to both, still smiling and shaking her head, "No, you must eat, only then will you know."

You scratched your head again and asked cautiously, "It’s not poisoned, is it?"

"Is your heart poisoned?"

"Hey, of course it’s not poisoned, I’m the model youth of the new century!"

The old woman said with a laugh, "See, then let’s eat."

Damn it, if I’m going to die, then so be it!

For some reason, you just couldn’t bring yourself to get angry at an old person who could smile just like your own grandmother, and besides, through your left eye, no matter how you looked - left, right, up, down - she just seemed like a regular old lady.

Take a deep breath first!

Sss—

Huh—

After three deep breaths, you took the plastic bowl from the old woman’s hands with your left hand, and then the disposable plastic spoon she handed you.

With the tiny plastic spoon, you gently stirred the contents of the bowl.

This little bok choy leaf looks fresh too, seems like it’s homegrown, and it appears to have been picked just before sunset.

You weren’t brave enough to eat the dumplings yet, so you decided to try the bok choy leaf first.

You scooped up a leaf including the soup and put it in your mouth, chewed a few times, hmm, fresh and sweet!

The taste was good, no pesticide flavor, truly nothing beats vegetables grown on the farm.

Since it’s tasty, why not eat a few more leaves, it’s not poisoned!

Before eating dumplings, you should have some soup, so you slowly sipped a few mouthfuls, and as you sipped, the soup began to run low.

Well, all excuses and reasons have been exhausted, now I have to eat the dumplings. ≧﹏≦

"Eat, eat," the old woman was still urging you on.

"Gulp—"

You swallowed again, thinking to yourself that tonight you’d get full just from swallowing saliva.

Let’s eat and be done with it, even if I die!

You scooped up a dumpling, ahem!

Put it in your mouth and, without even biting, you swallowed it whole!

"What flavor is it?" the old woman asked with a smile.

Quite the Zhu Bajie eating a ginseng fruit!

You pursed your lips, glanced at her a bit sheepishly, then scooped up another dumpling with your spoon. This time, you bit off half of the dumpling slowly with your teeth. Ignoring the half that was now in your mouth, you used your left eye to zoom in on the half still on the spoon, only to find the filling was... it was actually!

It was actually a filling of pork, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, and corn!

This had been your favorite since you were little!

Wow!

This time you couldn’t control yourself, devouring all the dumplings in the bowl in one go. After finishing, you still looked longingly at the old woman and said with a smile, "Granny, is there any more?"

She laughed.

"Good child, now you know what flavor your heart is, don’t you?"

You nodded earnestly, bowing deeply to the grandmother, "Thank you, I’ve understood!"

"It’s night, you should head back early."

"Mm, all right, you should close up soon too."

The old woman smiled, not saying much else. She rode off on her little cart, wobbling forward— "dong, dong dong..."

As you approached the university, the number of people on the street increased, mostly students returning from outside.

Each of them dragged their tired bodies, their faces full of fatigue, with some yawning continuously.

Tired, oh so tired.

Don’t get the wrong idea, though—they weren’t emerging from hourly hotels where rooms go for twenty bucks; these were students who took advantage of their free time to work part-time jobs.

As you walked, you suddenly noticed two familiar figures.

You quickened your pace, glanced at them sideways—indeed it was them!

The other party also noticed you—the evidently exhausted girl spoke first, "Little Yun, what a coincidence, huh?"

"Little Yun?" You paused briefly, then immediately responded with a smile, "I say, Sister Guihua, where did you get that title for me?"

The speaker, naturally, was Yin Guihua. Compared to before, she seemed much more relaxed, exhausted yet spirited.

She said with a giggle, "You don’t know yet? The female students at our school have already ranked you as one of Jiangzhe University’s top ten most handsome; oh right, they’ve also given you a nickname, ’Mysterious smile, gentle as a knife, Little Yun’."

As she said this, Yin Guihua’s eyes twinkled with starry admiration when she looked at you.

Feeling quite smug, you flicked your hair back: "Don’t fall in love with Brother, okay?"

"Quit dreaming! Another guy has already taken up residence in this miss’s heart, and I won’t marry anyone but him!"

"Is that Ning Cheng?"

"Ning Cheng?" Yin Guihua scoffed, "That man, who tried to trick me into bed after three days of dating, is he something good? Hmph, the guy I’m with now is absolutely not like that!"

Well, this girl has switched boyfriends again!

You didn’t care to delve into that, turning your attention to Fan Yi beside Yin Guihua, "Where did you guys go crazy tonight, coming back so late?"

Although Yin Guihua gave you a different vibe now, she was still fundamentally the same person at heart, and naturally, you were a bit concerned she might lead Fan Yi astray.

"Relax, Miss here has gone straight, ahem! What am I saying, I mean, I’ve lost interest in those rich kids. Fan Yi and I just got back from work," said Yin Guihua, before adding mysteriously, "I’ll tell you, Fan Yi and I are practically actors now, we’re in a TV drama!"

"TV drama? Actors?"

You cocked your head, wearing a look of disbelief.

"Cut it out! If you don’t believe it, just wait. When our drama airs, you’ll see!"

Just thinking of appearing on a TV screen seemed to lift Yin Guihua’s spirits, her steps becoming jauntier.

You thought for a moment, then asked, "What kind of TV drama are you doing?"

Yin Guihua said with a smile, "Supernatural, horror, detective, mystery!"

"What’s the name?"

"I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse!"
