Chapter 106 One step away

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Ning returned to her seat and felt the little thing in her pocket shaking, which was very strange.

She picked him up and put him on the table. The little guy covered his mouth with one hand and his body was shaking. Yu Ning thought he was sick at first.

But after observing for a long time, she came to a conclusion.

"You're not laughing, are you?"

"Meow!" That's right, he was laughing, hahaha!
He witnessed the whole process of Yu Ning stuffing money into Lin Lao Er's pockets like a rich woman giving a tip to a duck. Lao Er's dark and surprised expression made Lin Zheng extremely happy.

To be precise, he was mercilessly mocking his stupid younger brother, hahaha.

"Cats can't laugh, right?" Yu Ning took out his cell phone to check.

How could she remember that cats can't laugh, although some cats have the corners of their mouths raised, giving people the feeling that they are laughing.

But cats themselves don’t have the expression of smiling. Those cat smiling emoticons on the Internet were just taken by chance.

Cats express their happiness by purring or rolling over. Some cats also lick their fur or stand with their tails erect.

So, what's with this little cat with her mouth so wide open?

Yu Ning was a little worried, afraid that he was sick, and wanted to check, but the black cat put its little paw on her hand.

"Meow!" I'm hungry!
Yu Ning picked out the fish meat for him and was thinking of rinsing off the chili oil on it with water, but he ate it in one gulp.

The spicy taste satisfied him, so he meowed again, "Woman, feed me~"
"Hey, you really don't look like a cat. You don't eat cat food, but you eat human food with great relish. The problem is, cats can't eat food with a lot of oil and salt, right?"

While Yu Ning was complaining about him, his hands moved quickly, picking out the fish meat and removing the bones. Soon, he had a small plate of fish to eat.

"I bought this plate. My cat has used it, so you don't have to recycle it." Yu Ning said to the two waiters behind him.

Ever since she ran out and came back, there were two more waiters sitting at their table, pretending to be busy.

"Let me settle the bill first." Yu Ning realized that they were thinking she was trying to run away from the bill.

"Don't worry - scan this code."

Originally, Yu Ning was still a little worried whether Xiao Kui would be sad because of losing the game.

The result was one hour later.
"Huh, I'm full and comfortable!" Xiao Kui slumped in the chair, patting her belly with a look of satisfaction on her face.

Yu Ning looked at the empty plate on the table in silence.

She didn't need to worry about this guy.

How many people who love to eat will get depressed? Foodies are so easily satisfied.

"Eating is the lowest-cost way to heal life! No other way!" Mo Xiaokui squinted happily as he ate the ice cream given by the store.

"Yeah, that's right." Yu Ning thought so too.

In this materialistic age, houses, cars, and savings - things that can bring people happiness - are too expensive.

In comparison, food really has the lowest cost and is the easiest thing to make people feel happy.

However, there are many people who can’t even eat properly, such as Lin Laowu.

Yu Ning thought of Lao Wu's hungry expression when he woke up early in the morning, and felt a little sympathy for him.

"By the way, Ning Xiaozu, that so-and-so, how is he?" Mo Xiaokui spoke awkwardly.

"Who?"

"Fifth Master, last time in Country T, I actually heard what he said."

Mo Xiaokui actually wanted to ask just now, but he didn't have the courage to do so.

Last time she went on a mission abroad with Yu Ning, Yu Ning fed her a pill, and when she fell asleep, she actually heard the conversation between Yu Ning and the Fifth Young Master. The body was in a state of false sleep in order to absorb the effects of the drug, but the consciousness was clear.

Mo Xiaokui believed that Yu Ning knew about this, so she deliberately asked the Fifth Young Master that question.

"To be honest, I was very touched. I never thought that someone would sacrifice several months of his life for a friend he didn't know very well. I wanted to thank him in person and treat him to a big meal."

Although those words of Lin Wu Shao did not completely dispel her rejection of the marriage system, they made Mo Xiaokui have a different perception of Lin Wu Shao.

It turns out that a rich young man can really be so kind. He treats her as a friend, and she is very touched.

"If it's a big meal, he can't eat it now. He's miserable."

Yu Ning told Xiaokui about Lao Wu’s starvation, and Xiaokui shook her head.

"Does this star have to be a star?"

What’s the point of being a good person if you can’t even eat a proper meal?
"This is the price you pay for your dreams." Yu Ning could still empathize with Lin Laowu.

Doesn’t she also have to pay back a student loan? There are always sacrifices to be made on the road to pursuing dreams.

"That makes sense. In that case, I'd better not post my video for now." Xiao Kui said to herself, "There are only about a dozen people following me. Apart from the zombie fans, only Wu Shao will watch my video."

He also gave her a three-hit combo.

He was on a diet and she organized an eating contest, which was very unfriendly to him.

Yu Ning nodded, not because she was considering Lao Wu, but because she felt that Xiao Kui was having a bad time at the moment, and maybe the traffic would be better if she posted it a few days later.

"But, what is the origin of the man who just defeated me? Ning Xiaozu, have you read his face?" Mo Xiaokui reviewed the entire game and still found it incredible.

She was already very fast, but the man was even faster.

"I saw it, there's nothing special, but..." Yu Ning thought of the attraction that emanated from that man and stopped talking.

"But what?" Mo Xiaokui asked.

"He has a smell that I really want, which is the desire that radiates from the bottom of his heart."

"??? Ning Xiaozu, are you okay? Are you really hungry? You can eat anything?" Mo Xiaokui showed an incredible expression.

"You are guarding the handsome guy's nest of the Lin family, and you want an ordinary man?! You are President Lin's girlfriend, and President Lin can break people's bones with one punch. Don't you want to die?"

"Meow!" the black cat protested.

Does he look like a domestic violence man? Don't spread this false rumor in Ningning's ears!

"It's not the kind of attraction between men and women. How can I describe it? He is like food to me!"

Yu Ning finally found the right adjective.

When she saw the big eater, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva and felt hungry.

It was as if she was at Yu's house, Wu Yan was having a big dinner with Mr. Yu and his wife, and she felt like that when she passed by the dining table with her schoolbag on her back.

She could not eat at the same table with the Yu couple. Wu Yan lied to her and said that Mr. Yu had an infectious disease and was afraid of infecting her, so she could only eat with the servants.

In order to deliberately provoke Yu Ning, Wu Yan would wait for her to come back from school before starting dinner, and even arranged her room at the back of the restaurant.

To go back to her room, she had to walk through the dining room, smell the delicious food on the table, endure the feeling of hunger, and wait until two hours later when the servants came to eat before she could have a bite of food.

That’s why Yu Ning declined Teacher Gu’s invitation to stay overnight yesterday. Teacher Gu’s home is too much like an ordinary family, and the warmth of home makes her want to escape.

Of course, this is not the point.

The point is, that big eater reminded her of the steaming and delicious dishes on the Yu family’s dining table.

It seemed just one step away, yet out of her reach.
