Black Book

Chapter 25 People are still addicted to food

Staring blankly at Nangong Su'e's profile as she concentrated on her work, the relaxed and comfortable feeling brought by the injection of nutrient solution into blood vessels flowed throughout his body. Both his mind and body were relaxed, and Zhu Haomiao fell into sleep unknowingly. When he opened his eyes again, the sun outside the window was only the afterglow of sunset.

"........."

I seem to be eating and sleeping all day...

So decadent!

No, I have to cheer up!
Sitting up from the bed, Zhu Haomiao found that there was only a Band-Aid left on the back of his hand. Not far away, Teacher Su'e was holding a small test tube bottle filled with blood, looking thoughtful.

Instinctively, Zhu Haomiao realized that the bottle contained his own blood!

"You're awake."

Noticing the movement nearby, Nangong Su'e slightly turned sideways, and the warm light of the setting sun shone on her, creating a layer of dreamy and hazy golden gauze, which made her smile look like an autumn dream, beautiful yet unreal.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat, aware of the intense restlessness in his heart, Zhu Haomiao quickly avoided his gaze and changed the subject as if to make small talk.

"Um, Sensei, is that my blood?"

"Yes, I drew a little blood while you were asleep. I'll use it next."

"Do you want to use it?"

"Ah."

Putting away the test tube in her hand, Nangong Su'e did not explain further and waved gently to Zhu Haomiao.

"Hurry up and have dinner, the cafeteria is about to close."

"No need, I'll just go back and have some snacks to fill my stomach."

Zhu Haomiao shuddered inexplicably when he heard the word "canteen". He was almost developing PTSD about the canteen. Every time he went there, he felt like he was not eating there, but going to overcome a tribulation...

Hearing this, Nangong Su'e frowned slightly.

"How can that be? I told you to eat well, but you just ate too little and didn't get enough nutrition..."

Do not!
I ate too much...

Listening to Nangong Su'e's muttering, Zhu Haomiao grinned bitterly, but his heart was warm.

"I know, I'll pay attention."

"Ah."

Seeing the young man admit his mistake obediently, Nangong Su'e nodded in satisfaction.

"Eat well, or I will withdraw my application for the competition."

"Ah?? Can we still withdraw?!"

"hehe."

....................................

For the next period of time, Zhu Haomiao attended classes, was studied, and received intravenous drips as usual. His life was peaceful and fulfilling.

During this period, his body expanded day by day like a balloon, and even his height grew by one centimeter. Now if you take off his clothes, he can only be described as slender and thin at most, instead of the horrible and ugly skeleton appearance like before.

Zhu Haomiao felt extremely satisfied as he felt that his body and mind were becoming healthier and even stronger. The data in the "Book of Black" allowed him to intuitively and truly understand his all-round transformation.

[God]: 0.6→0.7↑

【Sensitivity】：0.5→0.6↑

[Force]: 0.4→0.5↑

【Effect】：0.3→0.4↑

[Gas]: 0.3→0.4↑

【Body】：0.4→0.5↑

The six-dimensional attributes were all improved by 0.1, and the upward arrow at the back did not disappear, indicating that there was still a lot of room for improvement. The only thing that disappointed Zhu Haomiao was that neither Ye Wanning nor Teacher Su'e responded to their applications. As the registration deadline approached, he had slowly given up hope.

"Xiao Shui, come and eat."

As usual, he came to the familiar meditation room No. 302. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ye Wanning waving at him. The table was already filled with a variety of delicious food.

"Senior sister, my character is not water, it's Miao."

Zhu Haomiao retorted tiredly and sat down next to her reluctantly.

"You have so much water, what's wrong with me calling you Xiao Shui?"

"........."

Faced with Ye Wanning's unreasonable behavior, Zhu Haomiao could only helplessly let her scream.

"Here's your [Jumbo Taro Balls, Red Bean Pudding, Coconut and Pearl Milk Tea]."

A large and thick cup of milk tea was handed to him. Zhu Haomiao skillfully inserted the straw and took a sip, then said to Ye Wanning who was happily sipping the same milk tea.

"Sister, you don't have to buy two cups. You can only drink a little each time, and I can drink the rest."

"How can that be done!"

Ye Wanning glared with her beautiful eyes and waved her hand without any doubt.

Although their relationship is no longer as unfamiliar as it was at the beginning after spending some time together, considering the boy's self-esteem, Ye Wanning must not let him feel that he is accepting charity.

Even though the remaining milk tea still ends up in his stomach, its nature is different!
On the other side, Zhu Haomiao seemed to be hesitant to speak, remained silent for a few seconds, and shook his head helplessly.

"Eat! Eat! I've been getting hungry waiting for you."

Ye Wanning's index finger twitched, and she rubbed her hands excitedly. She picked up the chopsticks and took the lead in attacking the table full of delicious food.

However, although he is as fierce as a tiger in his actions, his actual combat effectiveness is so weak.

After taking a few bites of each dish to taste it and taking two sips of milk tea, Ye Wanning put down her chopsticks with a look of satisfaction.

"I'm full, so full~"

"........."

Zhu Haomiao, who was chewing slowly, glanced at her and rolled his eyes silently in his heart.

With your tiny stomach, you still buy such a huge amount every time. You're a typical person with a big food addiction!

On the other side, Ye Wanning took another sip of the [Jumbo Taro Balls, Red Bean Pudding, Coconut Pearl Milk Tea], frowned, smacked her lips, and handed the milk tea to Zhu Haomiao.

"This milk tea tastes good at the first sip, but it gets a bit greasy after that."

You always eat for the first bite, you have a greedy mouth but a small stomach, the name Diaochan really deserves to be given to you!
Complaining silently in his heart, Zhu Haomiao skillfully took her milk tea and finished the rest in two sips.

Ye Wanning, who was standing by, supported her chin with one hand, quietly watching Zhu Haomiao eat and chatting with him in a casual manner.

"Xiao Shui, it's more fun to eat with you. Every time I can taste many different dishes, and I can order whatever I want!"

Then you pick up one piece of each dish with your chopsticks, and leave the whole table of leftovers for me to deal with?
Am I a trash can guy?

Pour everything into my mouth?
Zhu Haomiao wanted to scold her loudly, but the other party gave him too much, so he could only swallow his anger and eat in silence.

On the other hand, the delicious food on the table is so delicious.

Each one is a signature dish from a nearby old restaurant. They may not be expensive, but they are definitely delicious!
In comparison, the food in the school cafeteria can only be described as large in quantity, filling, and cheap and affordable.

I get paid to sleep, and the food is okay. If I were to be picky, I would be a bit ungrateful...

On the other side, Ye Wanning, unaware of the boy's inner thoughts, tilted her head and watched him eat in a trance, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

That smile reminded Zhu Haomiao of the expression he had when he saw Diao Chan showing off his food.

Wait, is she keeping me as a pet?
