But alas, if I don’t go to the mountain, the mountain comes to me.
Murong thought that hiding in the supermarket would spare him from having to see Zhong Yu, the big idiot.
But he never considered that Zhong Yu would come looking for him.
Murong had been holed up in the supermarket for several days.
Then, a few days later, he looked up and saw Zhong Yu.
What a massive shock it was for him.
"You you you! How could you be here?!" Murong was shocked, his pupils dilating.
"Found you." It took a great deal of searching on his part.
He had been searching tirelessly for several days.
Dark circles lay beneath Zhong Yu’s eyes.
Yet, he was quite excited.
Murong was extremely afraid.
Seeing his excitement only made him more afraid.
"You you you... how on earth did you find this place?" Murong had been quite happy, but at the sight of Zhong Yu, his good mood vanished instantly.
"Just found it ," shrugged Zhong Yu.
Murong came every day, from which one could infer that he must live not too far away.
Although the exact location was unknown, as long as it wasn’t too far, he could slowly search one by one.
A slow search would eventually lead to finding the place.
And there, he found it.
Zhong Yu looked at Murong, slowly revealing a smile.
Murong: "You you you... don’t come over here."
He was afraid, he had to admit, he was afraid.
"Why are you so afraid of me? I’m just here to buy things. What are you scared of?" Zhong Yu cocked his head, then stretched out his hand, opening it to reveal several Crystal Cores lying calmly in the palm.
Murong looked at him and breathed a small sigh of relief; as long as he wasn’t here to cause trouble, it was fine.
"Go go go, just go in and take a look, see what you can buy, whatever you want to buy." And then he was going to slip away, slip away.
He was afraid that later, Zhong Yu would be sad, and then, out of pity, he would end up giving him a bunch of supplies.
Giving things to Zhong Yu when setting up the stall was fine, after all, Galaxy had said he could sell them for any amount.
But now in the supermarket, if he wanted to give Zhong Yu something for free, he had to use his own Crystal Cores.
And he didn’t have many Crystal Cores left.
Murong was somewhat reluctant.
However, Murong’s escape plan wasn’t successful, and he got caught.
Zhong Yu’s grubby hand held onto his clean one, and then he flashed a bright smile.
"Why leave? We are old friends by now, you should give me some recommendations." Zhong Yu moved quickly, grasping the fleeing Murong and forcing Murong to stay and play the role of a guide.
He felt like he had been screwed over.
It’s that feeling of wanting to curse someone, but not knowing who to curse.
Oh, no, that’s not right, the person he wanted to curse was right in front of him, Zhong Yu, but what exactly to curse him with?
Murong began to agonize again.
And as he agonized, by the time Zhong Yu finished shopping, he still hadn’t decided what to say.
This led to Murong giving him lots and lots of supplies... again.
It was almost habitual for him to give them away.
Habits can be deadly.
At least they were for him.
Murong clumsily found some Crystal Cores and made up the cost.
After making up the cost, he wanted to slap himself; how could he be so foolish?
He had ended up giving things to Zhong Yu yet again.
Zhong Yu was truly terrifying.
To avoid direct confrontation, Murong put on a mask.
"Why are you wearing a mask?" Su Yinhe couldn’t understand when he saw him with a mask on.
"I’m sick," Lin Murong replied weakly.
"What made you sick?" Su Yinhe still cared a lot about him.
"I got angered into sickness," Lin Murong waved his hand, blaming it on Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu that big idiot, he detested this kind of idiot the most.
Because of that, he even picked up some bad habits.
Seeing Zhong Yu made him want to give him things, and he did give him things.
So, he was throwing himself at him.
Suddenly, Lin Murong felt stupid and worthless.
"It’s okay, it’s okay, just calm down," Su Yinhe fanned him.
"I am calm, the calmer I am, the angrier I get," Lin Murong bit his hand as he spoke.
He bit down quite hard, leaving his hand red and with teeth marks.
Su Yinhe: "...don’t do that. I’m not blaming you, right? You really don’t have to overcompensate next time."
"I feel guilty," Lin Murong felt like crying while hugging Su Yinhe’s thighs again.
Su Yinhe anticipated this and quickly sidestepped.
Well, now Lin Murong was genuinely hurt.
"Galaxy, you’re heartless, wooo..." Lin Murong cried even more miserably.
You can’t just make someone else take the blame.
It was Zhong Yu who provoked him, why did it end up being her fault?
With an expressionless face, Su Yinhe went off to torment Chi Yan.
Alright, she was definitely passing her own damage onto others.
Chi Yan looked dumbfounded as she tormented him, but after she finished, her mood improved greatly.
Then she ran back to continue talking to Lin Murong.
"I think I am a person, you’re the one who’s not. You’re the fool. Paying for him without any relation, have you fallen in love with him?" Su Yinhe launched a barrage of words.
Lin Murong was stunned, pointing at himself, dazed.
"Me? You’re calling me a fool? In love with him? Galaxy, don’t talk nonsense, we’re both men. And how could I possibly be interested in him? You’re insulting me," Lin Murong was furious.
"What if. His features are actually good-looking. It’s just that he’s kind of dirty. But love is blind, right?" Su Yinhe began to spout nonsense.
"You you you... you’re too twisted. You’re talking nonsense," Lin Murong, seeing the determined look on Su Yinhe’s face, felt he probably couldn’t win the argument, and that even his orientation had changed.
So he decided not to engage with Su Yinhe any longer, and he ran off.
Yep... He went back to set up his stall.
And then Zhong Yu realized that now when he went to the supermarket, Lin Murong would set up his stall, and when he went where Lin Murong set up his stall, Lin Murong would return to the supermarket.
In any case, their timing was completely off.
And every time, it was off.
Very precise and impeccably off.
At first, Zhong Yu wondered why it was such a perfect mismatch.
To be honest, not seeing Lin Murong, he kind of missed him.
Later, Zhong Yu discovered that Lin Murong was doing it on purpose, had given some supplies to others, and had someone keep an eye on him.
Whenever he left for the supermarket, Lin Murong would set up his stall; when he planned to go to the area where the stall was, Lin Murong would return to the supermarket.
What coincidence, it was all for supplies that Lin Murong had traded.
Lin Murong just didn’t want to see him.
Zhong Yu felt blue. Was he so undesirable to people?
