Of course it’s necessary!
This is a nutritional meal made by Jiang Yu. Clearly, we can’t have the feast we had yesterday, so I must at least try today’s nutritional meal. At the very least, it’ll satisfy a craving, right?
After expending great effort, Lin Yahu finally managed to squeeze to the front of the window with Liu Xiaohu following closely behind. He looked inside the window and felt immensely grateful!
Wow! The dishes Jiang Yu made are almost all gone!
If Liu Xiaohu and I had come any later, we wouldn’t even get a taste of the soup!
No time for more reflections, Lin Yahu hurriedly extended his tray to get a portion of saucy chicken wings and silky shrimp with eggs.
After that, he also got a portion for Liu Xiaohu.
Having grabbed two dishes made by Jiang Yu, no one else went for the vegetables and fruits, since these are available every day in the small cafeteria and there’s more than enough, so everyone is tired of them.
But tired or not, vegetables and fruits are still necessary, so Lin Yahu and Liu Xiaohu each got some of what they wanted to eat, then found a corner to sit down and started eating.
By this time, both of them were actually quite hungry, so there was no need for courtesy. Each picked up their chopsticks and grabbed a chicken wing first, stuffing it directly into their mouths.
Lin Yahu had just had a sumptuous meal yesterday, and he still remembered that taste vividly. As soon as the chicken wing touched his tongue, he immediately felt an extremely delicious taste stimulating his taste buds, making his mouth continuously water.
He couldn’t help but gently press down, not even using any force, and the meat on the chicken wing instantly detached from the bone with just a slight chew. The chicken melted like butter, flowing down his throat with the saliva.
"Whoa! These chicken wings are insanely delicious! The meat is tender and melts in your mouth, leaving a lingering taste after just one bite!"
Lin Yahu couldn’t help but mutter softly. Unable to wait another moment, he picked up the other chicken wing and stuffed it into his mouth.
When he wanted to reach for more with his chopsticks, he found out that darned small cafeteria only gave two chicken wings to each person; he couldn’t have anymore!
Small cafeteria staff: Is it my fault? This is a nutrition meal cafeteria. Not just chicken wings, but all the dishes are portioned. You can’t just eat and drink as you please!
Lin Yahu sighed helplessly, lamenting that being an athlete means even eating and drinking aren’t free. What a tough life!
He couldn’t help but raise his head to look across at Liu Xiaohu.
Liu Xiaohu had a rather interesting way of eating. Unlike others who eat the delicious things first, he did the opposite. He always ate his vegetables and staples first, leaving his favorite meat to savor slowly at the end.
While Lin Yahu was eating the chicken wings, Liu Xiaohu had already quickly finished the vegetables and staples, and even consumed the other dish Jiang Yu made, the silky shrimp with eggs. He was now holding a chicken wing, nibbling on it contentedly.
Just from seeing the satisfied look on his face, you could tell that the chicken wing must have been really delicious!
As Liu Xiaohu was gnawing on the chicken wing, he suddenly felt a chill coming from the opposite direction, and he couldn’t help but shiver. When he opened his eyes to look, he was startled.
What did he see?
He saw Lin Yahu staring intently at him... no, staring intently at his tray!
His tray...
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaohu was shocked and hastily raised a hand to guard his tray, shifting his body sideways as he eyed Lin Yahu warily.
The most attention-grabbing item on his tray was the last chicken wing left. Surely, Lin Yahu wanted to snatch it!
Seeing Liu Xiaohu watching him as if guarding against a thief, Lin Yahu looked helpless and shook his head, saying:
"Why are you so nervous? I’m just looking. Do you think I would really snatch your chicken wing? Hurry and eat; we need to get back to training after eating!"
With that, he shifted his gaze and continued eating with his head down.
And really, this silky shrimp with eggs made by Jiang Yu is just as good as the chicken wings!
As he ate, Lin Yahu suddenly felt a wave of melancholy rising in his heart:
He’d be staying at his alma mater for just a few days, and once he returned to the team, he could no longer taste the meals made by his junior Jiang Yu. How would he live then?
