181. Stomach: This High-Level Game
"Hiss..." Yun Ling touched his head, and in that instant, he felt as if he saw his parents in heaven.
"Is it morning already?" Yun Ling glanced out the window; the sunlight was just right.
He doesn't know who carried him back last night after he passed out.
Fu Hua's power was terrifying. Even though she had restrained herself, her angry attack still rendered Yun Ling, who was on guard, powerless in an instant.
It seems one shouldn't be too mischievous.
Yun Ling got up, went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed his clothes, and prepared to go out to fill his empty stomach.
The moment he opened the door, Fu Hua appeared in front of Yun Ling.
"Don't hit me." Yun Ling immediately covered his head with his hands, looking frightened.
"...Sorry, I accidentally knocked you out last night. I came to see how you're recovering." Fu Hua coughed lightly and explained her purpose.
"Oh, I see. Don't worry, I'm fine, in fact, I'm in great health." Yun Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, has Teacher Fu Hua eaten? Would you like to join us?" Yun Ling suggested.
"I've already eaten…" Fu Hua subconsciously pulled her hand back a little.
Yun Ling's gaze was unconsciously drawn to what was in her hand—was it a lunchbox?
"Could it be a lovingly prepared lunchbox from Teacher Fu Hua? Is it for me?" Yun Ling's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"...It's not a special lunchbox, just a simple meal. I was worried you'd be hungry when you woke up, so I made a little something. I don't know if it'll suit your taste."
A faint blush appeared on Fu Hua's usually cool face as she took out the lunchbox hidden behind her.
"I can already smell the aroma of the food inside the box." Yun Ling swallowed.
"It's not that exaggerated."
Fu Hua placed the lunchbox on the table and then opened it.
The dishes, all Chinese cuisine, were still steaming, clearly having just come out of the pot.
Fu Hua sat opposite Yun Ling, looking at him with a somewhat nervous expression.
Once upon a time, the two switched places, returning to the scene where Yun Ling first cooked for Jingwei.
Did Yun Ling feel the same way she does now?
Jingwei simply kept all her emotions sealed inside, daring not to reveal them.
Because she has experienced loss, she is afraid of losing.
Because of the fear of losing, she doesn't want to leave any ties behind.
But when she actually loses it again, those seemingly insignificant experiences become a balm for her heartbreak.
Every medicine has its side effects; after five hundred years, even the best medicine has turned into bitterness and pain.
Yun Ling at that time must have really wanted to hear a compliment from herself...
Yun Ling picked up his chopsticks, took a small amount, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and enjoyed the aroma.
Then, when paired with a little rice, it's as if the entire mouth is being stimulated, constantly producing saliva.
"It's so delicious!" Yun Ling praised without hesitation, and then began to eat the rice like crazy.
This cooking skill is even slightly better than Mei's and my own!
Hearing Yun Ling's praise, Fu Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad you like it." Fu Hua's lips curled into a slight smile.
The regret of the past seems to have been somewhat made up for at this moment.
Experiencing this state of mind that I had never felt before was quite a unique experience.
Yun Ling devoured all the food, leaving not a single grain of rice.
"If I could marry Teacher Fu Hua, would I be able to eat such delicious meals every day?"
Yun Ling's mouth started to chatter again, acting out of control.
"...At school, I am the teacher, and you are the student. This is indecent." Fu Hua coughed lightly and said seriously.
"Then it's okay if I'm not at school?" Yun Ling's eyes lit up, sensing a glimmer of hope.
"Now that you've finished eating, I'll head back first. You should get some rest." Fu Hua stood up, avoiding the question.
"Oh, right, Ms. Fu Hua, don't forget, I'll be waiting for you at the movie theater entrance at 6:30 tonight." Yun Ling waved to her.
Fu Hua paused for a moment without responding, but quickened her pace slightly, as if afraid of embarrassing herself in front of Yun Ling.
"Fu Hua is so cute..." Yun Ling murmured.
Although she usually doesn't smile and has a "keep away" attitude, she's not really scary.
Being with her was very comfortable, and the shyness beneath her cold exterior also made Yun Ling's heart flutter.
The only regrettable thing... well, I can't say it.
But it's cute even when it's small! Yun Ling said he really likes it.
I glanced at the time; it was only a little past noon. He hadn't cultivated at all last night, so he decided to read the 'Void Unity True Technique' for a while.
Yun Ling rested his cheek on the back of one hand while flipping through the 'Void Unity True Technique' with the other, his expression appearing lazy and content.
Sunlight streamed down onto the desk, and a gentle breeze brushed against his face, ruffling his stray hairs.
Judging from this appearance alone, he can be considered a handsome man.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Yun Ling got up and opened the door, only to find that it was Mei who had arrived.
"As expected, Mei still cares about me and knows to come and visit me." Yun Ling said with tears in his eyes, wanting to go forward and hug Mei.
"Stop." Mei held Yun Ling's face with one hand, preventing him from getting closer.
"It's all because of you, you idiot! You had no choice but to flirt with Teacher Fu Hua. You deserve it," Mei said, puffing out her cheeks and somewhat disgruntled.
"Hehe, I'll definitely be gentler next time." Yun Ling scratched his head.
Mei pinched her brow. Although she hated Yun Ling's flirtatious behavior, she couldn't stop him and could only occasionally vent her dissatisfaction by "beating" him.
After all, this is a contest between the two of them.
Mei really needs to put in some effort to win the heart of this scumbag.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I made your favorite food." Mei put down the lunchbox in her hand.
Yun Ling looked at the lunchbox in front of him with a constipated expression and rubbed his stomach.
"What's wrong?" Mei asked, puzzled.
"I...I couldn't wait any longer! I knew Mei would never give up on me."
Moved, Yun Ling hugged Mei and lifted her high in the air.
"Alright, let's eat first." Mei affectionately tapped his forehead.
Yun Ling sat down at the dining table once again, feeling that there was still plenty of room in his stomach, and that he should be able to eat all of this without any problem.
This is Mei's heartfelt wish after all! If I refuse, Mei will be very sad!
Once again, Yun Ling devoured all the food in front of him, his eight-pack abs completely gone.
After spending some time with Mei, Mei told Yun Ling to rest well and then left.
Although his stomach is a little uncomfortable, he can still manage.
Then another bell rang, and Kiana came over carrying a lunchbox that was bigger than Mei and Fu Hua combined.
Stomach: This is a high-level game.
