Firefly Journey

Chapter 341 Knowing Mu Shaoai (1)

Lin Yuanran was completely confused. It wasn't late yet, and there were restaurants everywhere outside. The hotel kitchen was still open for business.

What are you doing here...?

Wind Chime seemed to realize that this statement was somewhat inexplicable, and added, "I was going to ask you to come along, but you weren't here."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuanran was immediately overjoyed. So that's how it is. But don't you have the "Book of Ayepeya"? Why not use that to make contact?

If you tell me to come back, I'll definitely come back right away.

The wind chime tapped the table, and the little clay figure appeared, staggering along.

Lin Yuanran's eyes widened when he saw the familiar little clay figure: "This is..."

“Little Mudman,” Wind Chime explained, “Before Cassius merged with Death, he thought our class would lose contact with him, so he specially had Allen learn earth magic. The Little Mudman will continue to exist in the future, and it will even have new functions.”

As she spoke, the wind chime demonstrated its operation.

Lin Yuanran looked at Allen's image and felt a surge of emotions. Cassius had thought things through carefully; he had long known his fate and had kept everything under control.

Lin Yuanran closed his eyes, trying to stop thinking about sad things. After a while, he asked, "What do you want to eat? Let's go together, I haven't eaten yet."

Feng Ling stared at him expressionlessly.

In fact, Fengling had just returned, so how could she not know that this guy had just eaten? He's really learned to lie now.

"I'm fine with anything, I just find it boring to be alone," she said.

"It's too late, let's eat downstairs," Lin Yuanran said.

"Oh."

Feng Ling's face remained expressionless, though she seemed somewhat angry. Lin Yuanran thought he had misjudged her; what could she possibly be angry about?

The wind chimes were really angry.

Today, he and Wendy went to some pretty upscale restaurants. You know, this guy is usually very frugal, but he was very generous to that girl.

Why is it that when it's my turn, all I can do is eat at the hotel cafeteria?

It's not that the hotel food is bad; after all, hotels are places to stay, and even though they do offer meals, the taste and variety are far inferior to those in a proper restaurant.

The two went downstairs to the rest area and ordered two servings of pan-fried fish with rice.

The waiter brought over the food, and Lin Yuanran pretended to fiddle with it using a spoon and fork. Feng Ling sneered inwardly, "I knew you couldn't eat anymore."

Feng Ling showed no sign of letting him off the hook, her beautiful eyes frequently glancing at him.

Lin Yuanran misunderstood her meaning.

"If this isn't enough, you can have mine too." Lin Yuanran pushed the pan-fried fish in front of him over.

Fengling was taken aback at first, and then she got really angry, but she felt that she couldn't let him know the reason for her anger, so an awkward scene ensued.

Fengling pouted, stopped what she was doing, and stared at the plate of pan-fried fish for a long time.

Lin Yuanran didn't know what went wrong. After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that Fengling was the daughter of the Xu family. Could it be that the pan-fried fish was too ordinary and she didn't like it, so she was angry?

Lin Yuanran had a sudden inspiration and immediately took out the "Fantasy Ledger" and shook out the seafood stored inside.

"These taste good; I've tried them before."

Fengling had no idea where this pile of things came from, so she became even angrier.

So I'm only allowed to eat what you leave behind, right?

“I’m allergic to seafood,” Fengling said coldly.

"No way, we spent most of our time on the ship eating seafood, and you never complained about how good it was. Besides, there was that sea monster meat..."

"I said I had an allergic reaction, so I have an allergic reaction."

Fengling knew she shouldn't be angry or take it out on others, but she just couldn't control herself. It was true that Lin Yuanran's book contained a lot of food, but it was all for himself—mostly bread and the like, enough to fill his stomach, but definitely not delicious.

The packaged seafood was the best he could offer.

Fengling realized she was being unreasonable, so she gradually calmed down, put down her cutlery, and stood up.

"I'm stuffed."

Lin Yuanran belatedly realized and asked, "Are you angry?"

"I do not have."

"But you don't look well."

"Caused by acclimatization issues."

"Okay." Lin Yuanran believed this explanation, then, as if summoning immense courage, stammered, "How long are you staying in Chernobog?"

"Stay as long as you want."

Lin Yuanran said happily, "That's great! I'll be staying for about a month too. Are you free tomorrow? Want to go sightseeing together?"

Fengling blurted out, "Haven't you already seen it?"

Lin Yuanran was somewhat surprised. She'd seen it? When? What was she referring to? Could it be…?

"You mean, I'm going to see Wendy today?"

Fengling realized things were going badly and tried to salvage the situation, saying, "What I meant was that you're staying for a month, so you'll have plenty of time to see the sights."

The saying "It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost" clearly doesn't apply to Lin Yuanran now.

She's been inexplicably hostile ever since I walked in. Is it because I met with Wendy today?

Lin Yuanran considered some possibilities and his heart trembled violently.

Under what circumstances would someone get angry because a friend of the opposite sex goes to see another friend of the opposite sex?

The answer is too simple.

That person likes that friend of the opposite sex.

I don't want him to have contact with other female friends.

"Having traveled all this way to Qiecheng, it wouldn't be right not to see my fellow townsmen," Lin Yuanran tried to explain.

"You can see whoever you want without reporting to me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuanran confirmed her guess, and she felt a little jealous.

Does she like me?

Lin Yuanran still couldn't be sure, because jealousy isn't always a sign of liking someone.

"No, I want to go out with you tomorrow. I can't just not tell you in person," Lin Yuanran said.

Lin Yuanran had planned ahead on his way here. He knew he had to see Wendy. She was a friend, a fellow villager, and family, one of the unforgettable bonds in this world for him.

Unlike wind chimes, she is more important than the world.

Lin Yuanran originally planned to spend the rest of his time "entangled" with Feng Ling after meeting Wendy, then go back and take care of everything at home before focusing on his cultivation and striving to gain the ability to travel between the two worlds.

In any case, he didn't want to give her up; he believed that he could have both fish and bear's paw.

"What if I don't agree? You're so annoying, you know that?" Fengling strode towards the room.

"If you don't agree, I'll ask again tomorrow," Lin Yuanran said with a smile.

Watching Feng Ling's figure disappear at the end of the stairs, Lin Yuanran looked at the food on the table, remained silent for a while, then picked up his knife and fork and began to eat.

"That's such a waste."

Fengling returned to her room, took off her shoes, and pounced on the bed, covering her face with the blanket. It was a long time before she finally revealed her eyes.

"He was about to leave, and he shouldn't have shown it, but I just felt a little unwilling. Maybe he knows?"

"So what? If you know, you know. Don't expect me to say it first!"

Fengling rubbed the pillow, feeling uncomfortable whether lying on her side or flat, so she immediately sat up.

Having lived in the Pan-Ancient World for nearly ten years, she originally thought that nothing could make her happier than going home, but now, it seems that such a thing has already happened.

It has been around for a while.

"What if we don't go back?"

She was startled by the idea.
