"I can’t hold back," Wu Ming wiped his mouth and shook his head.
"I’m so hungry. So craving."
"Just bear with it a little longer, it’s not cooked through yet," Lin Murong smelled the roast rabbit and actually felt the cravings himself, but he thought that eating it before it was fully cooked would really ruin the mood.
After all, they’d have to put it back on the grill.
"No, I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to eat it," Wu Ming couldn’t hold back any longer. He wasn’t like a Ninja Turtle who could endure so much.
"I won’t," Wu Ming refused.
"You’re an adult, you know, you need to learn some restraint," Lin Murong pleaded earnestly. It’s not cooked yet, and eating it could easily lead to an upset stomach.
Though one would say that Superpower Users have strong constitutions and aren’t so prone to stomach issues, that’s for the average Superpower User—Wu Ming hadn’t eaten for many days.
"I won’t. I’m only three years old this year," Wu Ming shamelessly insisted and reached out to grab some food.
Lin Murong directly stopped him.
Wu Ming and he locked eyes, with sparks flying between them.
Then the two of them began a battle of wits and wills.
"I won’t," Lin Murong held on tightly.
"Let go!" Wu Ming was furious.
The two of them tugged and pulled until the rabbit was finally thoroughly cooked.
Oh, and they accidentally burnt it a bit too.
Wu Ming ate with a face full of resentment.
"It’s your fault it’s burnt," but even burnt it tasted delicious, Wu Ming merely complained once before munching away...
The roast rabbit was really delicious.
"Even burnt is better than undercooked," Lin Murong also voraciously ate his share.
Although Wu Ming held a grudge against Lin Murong, after the rabbit was cooked, he still shared a third with him.
One third, can you believe it!
He was actually so generous today.
It just so happened that Lin Murong was lucky.
If it were in the past, the roasted rabbit would have been all his.
He wouldn’t have shared it with anyone else.
The two men finished off the whole rabbit in one go, with Wu Ming not even sparing the burnt parts.
"Ah~ So full, so full~ It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten to my fill," Wu Ming held his belly, savoring the happiness.
He was full from eating meat.
He’d never felt this full even when eating roots before.
Today was really lucky.
"Me too... Last time I ate this much was a couple of days ago," he was at the supermarket then.
The more we talk, the more tears.
"A couple of days ago? Looks like you’re pretty well-off," Wu Ming said with a hint of envy when he heard Lin Murong could eat well just a few days earlier.
Every day he was on the verge of starving, and Lin Murong had managed to eat well just a couple of days ago.
Seems like he often ate til he was full.
"It’s not that I’m well-off. I just know how to cling to the mighty and recognize big shots," Lin Murong said. If it were just him, his life might not even be as good as Wu Ming’s.
It was all because he knew Brother Chi and Galaxy.
He relied on Brother Chi before, and now on Galaxy.
"Big shot! How did you get to know them? I want to, too. Introduce me," Wu Ming urged him.
Lin Murong was now immune to Wu Ming’s smell.
Even with Wu Ming so close, he didn’t react.
"I can’t introduce you at all, with the way you are..." Lin Murong was sleepy after eating his fill, he lazily looked at him and shook his head.
"Before you get close, you would be sent flying away. They wouldn’t even let you take one step closer," not to mention Brother Chi, who was a clean freak.
Galaxy liked cleanliness too.
Although not to the extent of Chi Yan, Su Yinhe was pretty much the same.
Only Lin Murong didn’t sweat the small stuff.
"Really?" Wu Ming was very troubled.
He also wanted a big shot to rely on.
To cling to their coattails.
But he was hesitant to part with the stuff he’d cleaned off... he was lazy by nature.
"Honest truth." If he went back , Brother Chi would drag him out for a thorough wash.
Feeling relieved now, but what about when I get back?
Lin Murong found himself with plenty of new troubles.
"Sigh," Wu Ming also sighed.
They looked at each other.
The stone rain had lasted for five days, a full five days.
In those five days, apart from that rabbit, Lin Murong hadn’t eaten anything else.
He was practically starving out of his mind.
He couldn’t stand the hunger, wanted to go out to find something to eat, to brave the stone rain and head back to the supermarket.
He’d never been this hungry for so long.
Really, never this long.
He truly felt he was on the brink of starvation.
But Wu Ming stopped him.
"Are you out of your mind? It’s raining stones out there. If you go out now, you’ll get smashed into a pancake. Are you planning to be my food? I’m not yet desperate enough to resort to cannibalism."
Before it was Lin Murong stopping Wu Ming, now it was Wu Ming stopping him; indeed, the wheel of fortune turns.
"No, it won’t happen. I’m a Superpower User, I have superpowers... Waaaaahh... don’t stop me, I’m going to starve waaaaahh..." Lin Murong wailed miserably.
However, he only wailed for a moment before he couldn’t continue out of sheer hunger.
"Having superpowers won’t help, you can only hold on for so long, and now you’ve been starving for such a prolonged... "
"Ah ah ah! I can’t take it, I feel like I’m going to die of hunger. I can handle being smashed to death, but I cannot starve to death."
Lin Murong still wanted to go out.
Wu Ming knocked him out.
Fortunately, the heavens didn’t seem to think it right for Lin Murong to starve to death either; after five days, the stone rain stopped.
By this time, Lin Murong was hallucinating from hunger.
"Has it really stopped? Has it actually stopped? I’m not already dead, am I? Have I starved to death and gone to heaven..."
"It’s true, it’s true, it has stopped. You can go out now." Wu Ming was better off; he was used to being hungry, having starved for as long previously, so he was somewhat accustomed to it.
Lin Murong went out, and as soon as he did, he headed straight for the supermarket.
On the way, he had to climb over a lot of stones.
Meandering around, but with a firm goal.
When Lin Murong ran back, Su Yinhe was shocked to see him.
"You! How did you end up !" Lin Murong looked incredibly haggard.
Su Yinhe couldn’t even be bothered by the smell on him anymore.
Lin Murong also had a smell about him, by all rights, Su Yinhe should have felt repulsed, but he looked so miserable that he bore no disgust.
"I... waaaaah... I’m going to starve to death." Seeing Su Yinhe, Lin Murong started to sob.
"Wait a second, I’ll get you something to eat right away." Su Yinhe immediately went to get him something to eat.
Once the food arrived, Lin Murong let out a roar and began to eat voraciously.
Even choking a few times.
He really hadn’t been this hungry for such a long time.
He nearly starved to death.
"You...you eat slower, take it easy..." Don’t choke to death.
Watching him , Su Yinhe was somewhat scared.
She hadn’t expected Lin Murong to torture himself to this extent.
It seemed that what Chi Yan had said couldn’t be taken too much to heart.
