"This is high technology! High technology! Do you even know what high technology means?"
Because now it wasn’t costing her any effort.
"No need to be modest. We should be thanking you," Bai Yuanyuan said with her cheeks puffed up from eating.
"Uh... okay, eat up. You’ve lost weight." Although she couldn’t remember whether Bai Yuanyuan had actually lost weight. But saying so was definitely the right move.
Sure enough, once Su Yinhe said that, Bai Yuanyuan was deeply moved.
"Woowoowoowoo... Boss, you actually remember me, woowoowoowoo... you’re so kind." Bai Yuanyuan was visibly touched, almost ready to run up and bury her head in a sobbing embrace.
Damn, feeling so guilty.
"Not really..." She was just babbling, no need to be so moved.
After some more perfunctory conversation and exchanging the Crystal Core for goods, Su Yinhe finally found some peace.
Sometimes, being a boss really isn’t easy.
Su Yinhe’s eyes lost their luster.
She wanted to be a salted fish.
A salted fish that wouldn’t turn over.
Though a salted fish is still a salted fish even if it turns over, turning over still requires effort.
She didn’t want to exert any effort at all.
She wanted to be a salted fish that didn’t have to turn over.
But being a salted fish made it easy to get eaten.
And she didn’t want to be a salted fish that got eaten.
Please let her be a salted fish with spikes all over.
Su Yinhe brought her hands together in prayer.
When Lin Murong saw this, he asked a question.
"Galaxy, are you... considering becoming a Buddhist?"
"Then what are you doing with that gesture?" Lin Murong mimicked the motion exactly.
Su Yinhe glanced at him.
"Know... know what?" Lin Murong was bewildered.
What’s there to know or not know?
What... does she mean?
"It’s nothing, it’s really nothing." Su Yinhe waved her hand dismissively.
She was just kidding just now.
It had no special meaning.
But Lin Murong was no longer convinced.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Lin Murong looked at her suspiciously.
"No, not at all, absolutely not. Go and play." She needed a rest.
After receiving so many people just now, it was exhausting.
She was getting older and now felt tired after just a bit of work. Thıs content belongs to 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩
"I don’t want to play anymore, tell me now," Lin Murong persisted.
"Really, it’s nothing. Don’t be so unreasonable."
Lin Murong pointed at himself and then at her, "Me? I’m being unreasonable? Galaxy, you’re acting ... who is being unreasonable? Are you using this phrase correctly?"
Su Yinhe nodded firmly.
Her nod sent Lin Murong into a rage.
Lin Murong could easily lose his temper.
He had just been passing by, but now he didn’t want to leave. He insisted on sticking around Su Yinhe for an answer.
But what answer could Su Yinhe give? She had just made a casual remark, and no matter how much Lin Murong badgered her, she had no idea.
She couldn’t come up with anything on the spot, as her brain seemed to have been nibbled by something lately, she just wasn’t as sharp.
Right now, she was, an idiot.
So, when Xu Jiaoqin and the others came out, they found their beloved boss looking utterly dejected, being shaken by Lin Murong’s grip on the shoulder.
Su Yinhe was quite literally beside herself right now.
"Let go of the boss! Lin Murong! How could you do this, bully our boss like that," Xia Jiaoqin and the others exclaimed when they saw what was happening, threw down whatever they had in their hands and rushed over to penalize Lin Murong.
Lin Murong wasn’t exactly unable to fight them off.
But he knew they meant no harm, so he hesitated for a moment. That moment of hesitation led to him being pinned down by them.
A few people were holding down Lin Murong.
Lin Murong was dumbfounded.
"No...Come on, what did I do wrong this time?" Lin Murong really started to question his life.
He always thought he was a good person.
He hadn’t done anything wrong.
Why was he always the one getting hurt?
"Boss, we’re here to save you. Are you okay, boss?" Bai Yuanyuan looked at Su Yinhe with concern.
It was at this moment that the spaced-out Su Yinhe finally snapped back to reality.
"Huh?" Su Yinhe, just regaining her senses, couldn’t figure out the situation at all.
Why was Lin Murong being held down by so many people?
"Galaxy, you explain to them. Geez, that kind of hurts. Can you guys go a bit easier?" Lin Murong expressed his speechlessness; he was merely having a friendly conversation with Galaxy, what was it to them?
Why did they suddenly rush over and pin him down?
"Hmm... let him go," she said as they were pressing down on Lin Murong with serious force, veins popping on one guy’s forehead.
If Lin Murong wasn’t an Advanced Superpower User, he probably would have been pressed... passed out by now.
So many people... it couldn’t really be called pressing, it was more like crushing.
"Boss, did he threaten you? Don’t be afraid, we will all stand by you," Bai Yuanyuan said with a caring face.
Did she give them the wrong impression?
"It’s okay, I’m really fine, let him go." After all, it seemed like it was her fault, and Lin Murong was quite innocent when it came down to it.
She had just been playing a trick on him and now he was in such a dire state, getting crushed by so many people.
It was quite embarrassing.
Su Yinhe felt a bit guilty.
"Alright, then we’ll let you go for now," they said as they released Lin Murong, though somewhat reluctantly.
From their point of view, it looked like Lin Murong was bullying Su Yinhe.
Su Yinhe was perceived as this vulnerable, bullied character.
They knew that as the boss, Su Yinhe definitely wasn’t weak. But Su Yinhe always acted so, so delicate.
She rarely showed her fierce side, so they all thought she was delicate.
Lin Murong rubbed the places where he had been crushed, feeling rather unlucky.
Was he under a spell of bad luck recently?
Diarrhea one minute, misunderstood the next.
Maybe he should worship some deity too.
It wasn’t long before Su Yinhe discovered that Lin Murong had started to take part in worshipping deities and even had offerings.
Question Su Yinhe, understand Su Yinhe, become Su Yinhe, surpass Su Yinhe.
Well... that’s outrageous.
Lin Murong went through the motions quite convincingly, leaving Su Yinhe stunned.
She watched him, open-mouthed.
She watched as Lin Murong arranged the offerings and performed various complex movements and many a bow, only to end up eating the offerings himself.
Well, okay, Lin Murong was still the same Lin Murong.
So typical of Lin Murong, not changed in the slightest.
She had thought he was going to genuinely worship some deity.
She wondered what kind of deity would be so miserable as to have their offerings eaten within minutes.
And besides, someone who had lived through the apocalypse as long as Lin Murong probably wouldn’t believe in deities after all.
That’s what Su Yinhe thought, and that’s what she asked him.
"Oh, just casually believing in something," Lin Murong also approached it casually; if you asked whether he truly believed, of course, he didn’t believe that much.
