Watching Shen Mengli dart into her room without even eating dinner, Ye Feng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Was this girl doing it on purpose? How could she just head straight to her own room like that...
Suddenly, it occurred to Ye Feng that Shen Mengli’s blatant behavior might stir some discontent among the others. Just as he was about to go upstairs to comfort her, a pair of chopsticks suddenly darted toward his bowl.
"Huh?"
When Ye Feng snapped out of his thoughts and followed the chopsticks to see who was responsible, he found Xie Yuyan had placed an oyster in his bowl without him noticing. Meeting his puzzled gaze, she said, "Ye Feng, try this and see how it tastes."
"Ah... okay... thanks, Yuyan..."
As Ye Feng was still chewing the oyster in his mouth, he hadn’t expected Xie Yuyan to immediately pick up another piece and place it in his bowl. He hadn’t even finished the first one yet.
"Mmph! Hmm?"
Muffled sounds escaped Ye Feng’s mouth as he tried to signal to Xie Yuyan that he was still chewing. But she seemed completely oblivious, as if his gestures were invisible to her.
"Eat more, Ye Feng. It’s good for your health. And I hope you won’t overexert yourself in the future. If your body becomes depleted, it’ll be hard to recover. I really don’t want that to happen."
"Huh?"
Finally swallowing the food in his mouth, Ye Feng immediately protested.
"Yuyan, what are you talking about? My body is perfectly fine!"
"Teacher, I think Yuyan is right."
At that moment, Li Mucheng suddenly spoke up, clearly agreeing with Xie Yuyan’s reasoning.
"Even though our lives are stable now, we still need to take care of your health. The best way to nourish your body right now is through proper meals."
"......"
Ye Feng almost blurted out that he possessed many abilities that made such concerns unnecessary. But just as the words reached his lips, he realized something.
If he told them about his powers, wouldn’t that just put him in even greater danger?
Gulp.
Swallowing hard, Ye Feng reluctantly nodded in surrender.
"Fine... I get it."
"That’s more like it~ Here, Teacher, have another oyster~"
Li Mucheng beamed and proceeded to mimic Xie Yuyan’s earlier actions...
"Mu... Mucheng, I really can’t eat anymore!"
After what felt like an eternity, Ye Feng clutched his stomach and shook his head violently. The entire table was filled with dishes meant to "nourish" him, and at this rate, he was going to overheat from all the supplements.
"Hmm..."
Li Mucheng studied Ye Feng’s expression and, deciding he wasn’t faking it, finally relented.
"Alright, if you really can’t eat anymore, I’ll let it go."
"Th... thanks for the meal, Mucheng. I... I need to go for a walk to digest this."
Without wasting another second, Ye Feng stood up from his chair and hurried out of the house.
The moment his figure disappeared from the dining room, Xie Yuyan set down her chopsticks and calmly asked, "Who’s going?"
"......"
Though neither of the other two spoke, their eyes betrayed their desire to accompany Ye Feng on his walk.
"Let’s do this fairly—rock-paper-scissors!"
Su Yuxin suddenly broke the silence with her suggestion. Li Mucheng and Xie Yuyan exchanged glances before nodding in agreement. There was no denying that this was the fairest method. If they lost, they could only blame their own luck.
"Fine!"
The three gathered, took deep breaths, and focused intently...
Gulp... cough...
Meanwhile, as Ye Feng strolled through the garden to aid his digestion, his eyes caught sight of a glass greenhouse filled with fruit trees near the estate.
"Huh? I didn’t know Mucheng had a little orchard here. Maybe I can come pick some fruit when I’m free."
Without another thought, he stepped inside.
The moment he entered, a sweet, fruity fragrance enveloped him. Breathing in the sugary air, his mood instantly lifted.
"Let’s see... oranges, apples, and—oh, strawberries! Of course there are strawberries."
Kneeling beside a patch of strawberry plants, Ye Feng admired their plump, glossy appearance and, for some reason, found himself smiling.
After plucking one, he rinsed it lightly in a nearby water basin.
"If Yuxin saw all these strawberries, she’d be over the moon."
Just as he was about to pop the strawberry into his mouth, a sweet voice called out from behind him.
"Ye Feng~"
"Hmm? That voice... Yuxin?"
Before he could turn around, the sound of light footsteps on the brick path grew closer, and then a soft, warm body pressed against his back.
"Yuxin? What are you—"
Ye Feng paused mid-sentence, gently pried her hands away, turned around, and pulled her into his arms instead.
"What brings you here to find me?"
At first, Su Yuxin thought he was annoyed by her clinginess and was about to apologize when he suddenly hugged her tighter. Blushing, she pursed her lips and whispered, "Because I missed you~"
