Chapter 234: Zhong Qi
Zhong Qi carried a box of instant noodles, and Lin Murong carried one too.
The same flavor as before.
The two of them were like locking horns.
Zhong Qi grabbed three large bottles of cola.
Not to be outdone, Lin Murong also grabbed three large bottles.
Zhong Qi cooked five buckets of instant noodles at the same time.
Lin Murong also cooked five buckets at the same time.
What’s called keeping up with the Joneses, this is it.
After preparing the noodles, Zhong Qi started eating, and Lin Murong ate as well. They both began eating simultaneously, speeding up if one ate faster and even more so if one slowed down.
Holding her half-eaten instant noodles, Su Yinhe silently backed away.
They were eating too wildly; she was afraid they would splatter the noodle soup on her clothes.
She was wearing white today.
She couldn’t afford to get splashed by the soup.
She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt like they ate even more fiercely after she walked away.
It felt like they were holding back before.
So, her presence was hindering their performance.
Su Yinhe hid to the side and silently ate her noodles.
Instant noodles, at first, watching them eat felt enticing; she took a few bites herself and still found it delicious, but the more she ate, the worse it tasted.
By the last few bites, Su Yinhe almost had to force them down.
She took a couple of sips of the soup, but couldn’t take any more.
And at this time, those two were still eating.
It didn’t look like they were stopping anytime soon.
In a blink of an eye, they finished off two boxes of instant noodles.
Then Zhong Qi grabbed a high-level crystal core…
In the end, Lin Murong was victorious.
He really was the stronger one.
Lin Murong could hardly stand up from being so full; he rubbed his stomach, he hadn’t eaten this much in a long time.
Zhong Qi couldn’t stand up either; they both sat there rubbing their stomachs, sparks flying when their eyes met.
They hadn’t said much, Lin Murong had covered Zhong Qi with a jacket last night, so kind to him, but an instant noodle meal brought out hostility.
It’s unclear how they managed to eat like that.
Su Yinhe didn’t understand.
What she understood even less was how someone could eat so much.
Could eating so much instant noodles really not be disgusting?
Could they eat so much without feeling like throwing up?
She felt like vomiting by the second cup of noodles.
It was quite nauseating.
Full and uncomfortable, Zhong Qi sat in the supermarket for a long time before leaving.
Lin Murong, originally sprawled in his chair like a dead dog, saw Zhong Qi get up and leave, and a strange sense of competitiveness arose in him, so he also stood up and started walking.
It didn’t have to be .
After eating so much, Lin Murong couldn’t eat his regular meals. He couldn’t even eat breakfast the next day.
Seeing him skip breakfast, Chi Yan rarely asked a question.
“He’s full and hasn’t digested everything yet,” Lin Murong was still a bit uncomfortable, too stuffed to speak, so Su Yinhe answered for him.
That really touched Lin Murong.
Chi Yan looked at Lin Murong and then shook his head without a word.
His expression made Lin Murong a bit scared.
When Lin Murong is scared, he starts behaving foolishly.
Unable to endure it anymore, Chi Yan beat him up, and only then was he satisfied.
Too many points of contention, she didn’t know how to comment.
When they opened the door, Song Ya and Zhong Qi were already waiting outside.
Song Ya kept giving Zhong Qi wary looks.
Zhong Qi just coolly sat on the ground, gazing at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, all artistic.
This era talks about artistry.
Song Ya’s wariness, he pretended not to see.
After the supermarket doors opened, Song Ya immediately rushed inside.
Zhong Qi strolled leisurely into the supermarket,
just as if he were in his own home.
Song Ya, as usual, bought a bag of rice and then sidled up next to Su Yinhe, blew a couple of rainbow farts her way, and started asking about Zhong Qi.
Su Yinhe shook her head.
All she knew was that he must be pretty impressive.
High-level crystal core, casually taken out.
“Do you like high-level crystal cores?”
“Of course.” Her boss needed to make money from crystal cores, after all.
“Got it,” Song Ya said, nodding emphatically as she looked at her.
Su Yinhe: “?????” You got what? What do you know?
After Song Ya finished, she carried the rice away with firm steps.
She’s been carrying rice every day now and had gotten quite steady on her feet.
Su Yinhe watched her leaving, noticing her determination.
Finished. Two customers, not a normal one among them.
Lin Murong was out of sorts now too.
He hadn’t been so fond of competing.
Today, with Zhong Qi around, he spent two crystal cores.
He didn’t eat instant noodles today, but bought a pile of snacks and munched on them in the supermarket.
He was even lucky enough to drink milk tea made by the boss herself.
That made Lin Murong green with envy, sticking to Su Yinhe relentlessly.
“I want some too. I want to drink it too.” He almost rolled on the floor.
“Drink, drink, drink, I’ll make it for you.” Really, just like a kid.
Even kindergarten kids weren’t as hard to handle as Lin Murong.
She wasn’t even married yet, and she was already getting a taste of what it was like to raise a child.
It felt like a huge hassle.
Though she was reluctant, Su Yinhe, afraid of Lin Murong’s pestering, still made it for him.
Then Lin Murong and Zhong Qi, both took piles of snacks from the supermarket and started competing to see who could eat them faster.
Lin Murong’s odd competitive spirit.
Su Yinhe no longer watched soap operas; she made herself a cup of milk tea and watched them eat snacks while sipping her tea.
There was a mukbang, a competition, such a good watch.
Beside them was Fangfang, cheering them on.
Fangfang cheered them on without saying names.
Inspiring both contestants at once.
The atmosphere at the scene was intense.
Su Yinhe watched with relish, forgetting to drink her milk tea.
She even joined the cheering squad without minding being a busybody.
Right, she was just livening up the atmosphere.
Look, how lively the place was.
She was the atmosphere team.
Lin Murong and Zhong Qi were completely at it.
Whatever Zhong Qi ate, he ate.
And always had to outdo Zhong Qi.
His only goal was to be better than Zhong Qi.
They now knew Zhong Qi’s name, but that was it.
Lin Murong sneakily wanted to find out about Zhong Qi’s superpower level, but Zhong Qi wouldn’t tell him and even tricked Lin Murong.
Lin Murong was naive, easily spilling his own information.
The thing was, every time he realized what he’d done right after speaking, then started yelling in frustration, but it was too late.
Said what should be said and what shouldn’t have been said.
And from Zhong Qi, he couldn’t extract anything but a name.
He was almost stripped bare.
Lin Murong was in despair.
Turned out, he was this foolish.
He had always thought he was quite clever.
Su Yinhe comforted him, “You’ll get used to it.”
Lin Murong: “??? Get used to? Used to what?”
