Chapter 73: Dogs Don’t Eat, I’ll Eat
“Life ah~ can’t you let me go just this once, sometimes it’s really exhausting...”
No one knew whether he had thought things through, or if he was simply afraid that Mazu did not like him. In any case, Wang Chu suddenly became cheerful, sweeping away all the gloom on his face, and even began humming a little tune.
Lin Mo was dumbfounded as he watched from the side. Was Mazu really that important to him? He did not understand, but he respected it.
“Come on, come on, Old Mo, didn’t you say we’d eat something? Just nice, I’m hungry already. What’s there to eat in the dorm?”
After his mood recovered, Wang Chu also began to feel hunger in his stomach. After all, during dinner, he had eaten the least, though he had not drunk less. Now his belly was growling loudly.
Just now, when he was upset, naturally he did not feel it. Now that his mind had cleared, he only felt that if he didn’t eat, he was going to die.
“I’ve got turkey noodles stored away for supper. Just nice Sichuan Girl is hungry too. When I came out, I told him to cook it. Let’s make do with that for now.” Lin Mo said.
After all, today’s four items really weren’t of good quality. He did not know if it was because big data had overheard their dorm being hungry, but out of the four items, three were food, and the remaining one was a chamber pot bomb.
Even if it were buns like the Jade-faced Grenade King’s, that would be fine. At least if you didn’t throw it, it wouldn’t explode—and you could even eat it.
He had seen that kind of anti-Japanese god drama before. In it, there were not only exploding chamber pots, but also exploding buns, cucumbers, and carrots. Truly treasures among treasures.
As for the remaining three items, only the turkey noodles seemed relatively normal. After all, they couldn’t gnaw on raw beef, and the old pickle sauerkraut beef noodles were also hard to explain.
But who knew that after hearing this, Wang Chu suddenly exclaimed: “Turkey noodles? That stuff, even dogs don’t...”
“Eat! Dogs don’t eat, I’ll eat! I’ll eat this ultra-spicy lobster turkey noodles. Heh heh, I just enjoy this kind of mouth-burning pleasure and chrysanthemum-suffering feeling.
In the past, when I was hungry at midnight, I’d just drink some water to fill up. Sometimes, I even drank from the bathroom faucet. The feeling of noodles wrapped in sauce, exploding spiciness in the mouth, is simply awesome. And this lobster, it’s my dream lover shrimp. Today feels like New Year’s Eve, or like the court has sent down disaster relief grain!”
Inside the dorm, Wang Chu sat at the table, shoveling mouthful after mouthful of turkey noodles. His lips were covered in sauce. Someone who didn’t know better would think he had just fled from famine.
From the look on his face, no one could see even a trace of the man who, just a few hours ago, had been so depressed over a woman that he even prayed to the gods.
“What’s with him...” Sichuan Girl looked at the wolfing-down Wang Chu, a little unsure if she had provoked him too much.
After all, she had said he was only slightly inferior to Lord Guan, not quite as straightforward, but it was still honest advice. Naturally, it didn’t sound nice.
Lin Mo shook his head: “Should be nothing. After all, someone with worries wouldn’t have such an appetite!”
Judging from Wang Chu’s appetite, one box clearly wasn’t enough. Fortunately, this time he had bought a six-pack. With three people, it would be just enough.
And to prevent a “chrysanthemum tightening,” he only put in a quarter of the sauce packet. Even so, it was spicy enough to make him sweat.
It was hard to imagine how Wang Chu managed to eat the full sauce packet.
“Ss-ha~ Ss-ha!”
“What are you two talking about? Eat up! Otherwise, once it cools, it’ll clump together. Old Mo... Ss-ha~ where did you buy these turkey noodles? They’re so authentic!” Wang Chu spoke while eating, his mouth not stopping at all.
“Wang Chu, you really are okay?” Sichuan Girl asked cautiously.
Wang Chu pulled over a tissue and wiped his mouth: “What could be wrong? Don’t worry, a woman who never belonged to me, versus Mazu who protects me—which weighs more, I can tell clearly.
I’ve decided: first make money, then work out, strive for all-round development.”
The two looked at the rejuvenated Wang Chu and couldn’t help but sigh at Mazu’s status. Truly, every place had its own faith. No wonder in Wang Chu’s hometown, even the police station had so-called Mazu Mediation Rooms.
Locals might lie, but very few people would lie to Mazu.
As for Wang Chu’s bold words, the two did not take them seriously at all. Still, seeing him back to normal made them genuinely happy.
Wang Chu ate two servings all by himself. The result was that in the second half of the night, he had diarrhea, running to the toilet several times.
Sichuan Girl also went twice. Even Lin Mo’s own stomach felt a little off. Fortunately, he had been cautious, using only a quarter of the sauce packet. It wasn’t enough to ruin his stomach.
But his toilet paper was used up by those two for more than half, making him grind his teeth in anger.
That was just how boys’ dorms were. You could leave money on the table without worry—no one would touch it. But toilet paper? That would really vanish.
There were many such rules. For example, a roommate could call you “bro” or even “dad,” but absolutely never “big brother.”
The next morning, Lin Mo woke up early to wash up. Seeing the bleary-eyed Wang Chu, he asked: “Are you sure you want to come with me? Not going to sleep a bit more?”
After all, this guy had only fallen asleep very late the night before.
“No problem, at worst after training I’ll go back to catch up on sleep.” Wang Chu shook his head, determined to keep last night’s promise to work out.
Maybe yesterday’s news had struck him hard, so now he also began to take his body seriously.
The two changed clothes and left the dorm. Because they had to wait for Wang Chu, they were a few minutes later today. Professor Mu was already there, rotating her arms on the track, making popping sounds.
“Good morning, Professor Mu!” Lin Mo naturally stepped forward to greet her.
After all, they had met several times already. It wasn’t awkward anymore.
Seeing how naturally he did this, Wang Chu clicked his tongue secretly, but also greeted:
“Hello, Professor Mu!”
The old lady nodded at the two: “I thought you weren’t coming today.”
“No, just woke up late today!”
The two exchanged a few polite words, then began jogging to warm up.
“Not bad, Old Mo. You’re so familiar with Professor Mu now.”
As they warmed up, Wang Chu couldn’t help but sigh.
“Actually, Professor Mu is quite nice. She just speaks a bit bluntly. She’s only strict in class. Normally, she’s just a little old lady who loves health and wellness,” Lin Mo explained.
In the past, he had no interactions with Professor Mu, so naturally he hadn’t seen this side of her. Now it seemed her anger was entirely because they were too dumb—at least in her advanced math domain.
There was an opinion online: ordinary people couldn’t understand geniuses, and geniuses couldn’t understand why such simple problems couldn’t be learned by others. Even if explained over and over, people still didn’t get it. With that, how could her temper possibly be good?
After a lap of jogging, the two joined Professor Mu, swinging their arms and legs, until the three began standing post together.
Since he had unlocked the skill of Massage and Bone Setting yesterday, he had given himself a treatment at night. Sure enough, his leg pain had eased a lot by morning.
“No... no more, I can’t do it!”
With a plop, Wang Chu heavily sat down on the ground, panting hard, his forehead beaded with sweat.
“These young people nowadays, really don’t care about exercise. Not even two minutes, and you—young man—look sturdy, but how are you weaker than Xiao Lin?”
Professor Mu shook her head as she looked at the sitting Wang Chu.
Lin Mo: ...
Wang Chu: ???
