Fried Milk was one of Su Yinhe’s favorite desserts; it tasted great, was easy to make, and was delicious to eat.
Humans are creatures of change.
Just moments ago, he was full of complaints, but now, as he continued to eat, he grew to like it.
However, as tasty as it was, Lin Murong didn’t forget what was important.
After finishing and cleaning up, he went to find Su Yinhe and Chi Yan and strongly expressed his feelings of being neglected.
"Am I someone with such a low presence? Why did you forget me? Why! You can’t forget me! Did you hear me?" Lin Murong glared at Su Yinhe.
Su Yinhe looked at him, always with a sense of illusion. She felt that if she dared to say he was someone with a low presence, he would immediately show her what a high presence was like.
She could only nod weakly.
"Sorry, it’s just that my mind hasn’t been great lately. I admit my mistake. Chi Yan... he... he’s innocent." Su Yinhe didn’t know if she was having a brain cramp, but at the last moment, she added another sentence.
Lin Murong, hearing this response, was fairly satisfied.
"Tsk. My mind is fine, so I won’t bother arguing with someone whose mind isn’t. But, you have to remember next time! Did you hear that?" Otherwise, he would make a fuss.
"Alright, alright, fine fine." Su Yinhe was extremely perfunctory.
However, Lin Murong didn’t notice.
Now that he had eaten his fill, his mind was naturally not very sharp. He was feeling sleepy after eating, which made him even less alert.
"Hmph. I’ll reluctantly forgive you this time. I’m going to sleep. Chi Yan, can you make a steamed chicken next meal? I feel like eating that." Lin Murong presumptuously made his request.
"You think you can?" Chi Yan carelessly pulled out a small knife.
"Forget it, forget it, suddenly I don’t feel like eating chicken. What’s so good about chicken. I like duck, duck is tasty. Chicken... never mind chicken." Lin Murong yawned and walked away.
While walking, he sneakily glanced at Chi Yan’s reaction.
Seeing that Chi Yan kept staring at him, he walked even faster.
Eventually, he almost started to run.
After Lin Murong was out of sight, Chi Yan finally put away the knife.
She learned that this was the way to keep Lin Murong in line.
After putting away the knife, Chi Yan noticed her gaze.
"Galaxy, don’t just learn anything you see." Learning anything carelessly could hurt people.
"Cough cough cough... I didn’t even say I wanted to learn. You... really are like a worm in my stomach." Caught in her thoughts, Su Yinhe gave an awkward laugh.
"I can tell." Chi Yan felt like petting her head again.
He really enjoyed stroking her head lately.
He thought she was very cute.
"Oh. You..." Su Yinhe struggled and finally managed to say, "are really perceptive."
Even as smart as Chi Yan was, he found it difficult to respond to her remark at that moment.
It turned out, he wasn’t all that smart after all.
"Cough cough cough, I... didn’t mean that." My goodness, how awkward.
Su Yinhe felt she was going to die of embarrassment.
"I... I’m going to check downstairs." To avoid embarrassment for them both, Su Yinhe quickly found an excuse to get away.
Her mind was a bit of a mess.
She sat downstairs, watching the robots checking out customers.
There were still many people coming to the supermarket.
Even though the snow was falling heavily.
A slight lapse in attention could mean losing one’s life.
Yet, for them, not coming to the supermarket meant certain death from freezing or the cold. Coming to the supermarket on the way, they might be covered by snow, or freeze or be crushed to death.
The former was a certainty; the latter was a matter of chance.
And in such times, the probability of the latter was greatly reduced.
Because there were just too many people coming to the supermarket, too many people traveling from Sun Base to the supermarket.
They had trampled a path through the snow.
Originally, in the vast snow, some people were afraid of getting lost.
But now that there was a path, they no longer had to fear getting lost.
Follow the crowd, and you’ll be right on track.
No need to fear getting lost.
Many people are afraid that the supermarket will disappear again soon, so now when they shop, they rush to buy in panic.
Worried that the supermarket might vanish the next second.
They exchange as many Crystal Cores as they could for all the supplies they needed.
So much that they ended up buying more than they could carry.
Sometimes Su Yinhe would see a familiar face and offer a few words of advice.
"Don’t buy so much at once. It’s not easy to transport in this weather."
The supermarket won’t move away that quickly, they could buy in smaller quantities more frequently.
With the owner personally persuading them, they would definitely agree right then and there.
But although they agreed, they would still do things their own way.
After trying to persuade them a few times, Su Yinhe gave up.
She was just a seller, why bother with so much.
Let them do as they pleased.
If she persisted, it might even annoy them.
Besides, having a lot of stuff seemed to give them more of a sense of security.
She would just quietly brew tea on the side.
Lately, Su Yinhe had fallen in love with brewing tea.
The thing with brewing tea is that you can’t rush it, you have to take your time. If you prolonged it, it could refine your temperament.
She thought this was not bad. If she brewed more, she wouldn’t need to refine her temperament.
And Lin Murong could get hit a few times less.
Lin Murong, fast asleep, had no idea what Su Yinhe was thinking.
If he knew, he probably would have flipped out.
Coincidentally, Xu Jiaoqin came again today.
When Su Yinhe saw her, she called out,
"Come, have a cup of tea." Try her handiwork.
"Sure thing." Xu Jiaoqin didn’t stand on ceremony with her.
She knew that the owner wasn’t one to appreciate pleasantries.
She would take it openly and generously.
The owner would like that.
"Here, have a taste." Su Yinhe poured her a cup of the tea she had prepared.
The cup wasn’t very big, and Xu Jiaoqin finished it in one gulp.
It was a bit bitter, and beyond that... it seemed to lack any other flavor.
At least Xu Jiaoqin couldn’t taste anything else.
Xu Jiaoqin candidly expressed her thoughts.
Su Yinhe poured her another cup.
"Well, I can’t taste it either." She just brewed it to practice the technique, but she certainly couldn’t taste the subtleties.
No matter what kind of tea, it all tasted the same to her, just tea.
At most, the more expensive ones smelled a little better.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiaoqin was startled, then burst into hearty laughter.
"Boss, you’re really too funny." She didn’t know what hit her funny bone, but Xu Jiaoqin couldn’t stop laughing.
"Hey? Stop laughing, what’s so funny?" Su Yinhe genuinely didn’t know what was amusing.
"I... I’m saying you’re adorable," said Xu Jiaoqin with laughter, tears coming to her eyes, which she wiped away from the corner.
That remark seemed oddly familiar, as if she had said something similar to Murong before.
"Thank you," said Su Yinhe, with a forced smile.
"Thank me? What? Hahaha!"
One sentence from Su Yinhe somehow hit Xu Jiaoqin’s funny bone again, and she started laughing anew.
