Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 378 Fish Soup

sunny.

After several days of overcast skies, the town welcomed a new round of bright sunshine.

Similarly, Yu Shijiu led Feifei out of the room, stretched and yawned in the sunlight not far away.

"We're going to have dinner at Anjie's place today too..."

Yu Shijiu stood at the door for a long time, and finally started to contact An Jie.

"..."

After a few vibrations, the system started to respond.

Yu Shijiu blinked. "Good morning, Sister An."

Anjie, who was on the other side, seemed to be busy with something, and responded with a smile upon hearing this.

"Good morning, Shi Jiu. When can you come over for lunch?"

"Let's wait a little longer."

Yu Shijiu looked down at the chubby creature leaning against his leg, and after resisting for a moment, he couldn't help but bend down and reach out to pat its fluffy head.

"I want to take Feifei for a walk. It's been such a long time since we've been to a town."

I heard that the shops in town have some new snacks... Yu Shijiu's throat bobbed slightly, she was a little hungry.

"be careful."

Anjie didn't say much, but after quickly offering a reminder, she asked:

"Is there anything you really want to eat? I'll tell Chen Yi."

"……Well."

Yu Shijiu was truly stumped by this question. After thinking for a long time, his eyes lit up.

I want to drink fish soup.

Yu Shijiu swallowed and said, "That fish soup Brother Chen cooked last time! It was so delicious, I think I'd like to have some..."

Yu Shijiu paused at this point, then hesitated and said:

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for Brother Chen? I heard that making fish soup takes a lot of time..."

"Will not."

Anjie seemed to chuckle, then said softly, "Chen Yi really enjoys cooking. He's overjoyed that you've offered to tell him what you want to drink and eat."

Just then, Anjie's voice came from the other end: "Chen Yi! Add fish soup to lunch!"

"Shi Jiu really enjoyed the fish soup you cooked last time."

Just as Anjie finished speaking, Chen Yi's somewhat indistinct voice came through.

"Really? That's great! I'll have Xiaohan go downstairs to buy it right away..."

Chen Yi seemed to say something else after that, but it was hard to hear clearly. Yu Shijiu didn't listen very carefully either, and instead lowered his head to stroke his chubby, furry head again and again.

"...Then we can eat around 12:30."

On the other end, Anjie calculated the time and said with a smile:

"How about I have Lingling come downstairs and wait for you then?"

“Mmm,” Yu Shijiu nodded, momentarily forgetting that the other person couldn’t see her movements and feeling awkward for a second, before continuing as if nothing had happened:

"It's okay, Sister An. I have a key too, so you don't need to make Sister Lingling come downstairs to wait for me."

Since they had been going out to eat together more and more often, even though Yu Shijiu hadn't expressed any willingness to move, Anjie still gave him a key to the small villa.

They call it "coming home to visit often."

This seemingly joking remark amused Xu Han greatly. He kept putting his arm around Yu Shijiu's shoulder, saying that they should come back to visit them, these "lonely old folks," more often in the future. He said that without the liveliness of Yu Shijiu, this "young man," their lives were truly dull and tasteless.

Then he successfully earned a big eye roll from He Lingling.

"That's okay too."

Anjie agreed without hesitation, "You can just open the door and come over when the time comes. I'll bring Feifei along too?"

"Yes."

Yu Shijiu replied with a smile, "Feifei also loves the fish soup that Brother Chen cooks."

Anjie smiled, "Okay, I'll have Chen Yi make a few more big and fat fish for Feifei."

"That's great……"

By the time Yu Shijiu and An Jie finished talking, Feifei had been so comfortable from being touched that she was dozing off on the carpet by the door.

"Fatty?"

Yu Shijiu scratched its chin slightly and whispered:

“Let’s go to the town store to buy some things, and if we still have time after that, we can go check out the ‘Chrysalis Shop’…”

Back at the "Chrysalis Shop," that middle-aged male player who initially bought him lunchboxes and told him so much... he should still be alive, right?

Yu Shijiu didn't think too much about it.

For him, unless he witnesses the other person's death with his own eyes, he will not choose to believe it even if he hears others say "death".

Whether you say he's pretending to be stupid or that he has something wrong with his head, he doesn't care.

Yu Shijiu only cares about his own thoughts, regardless of who it is.

"Let's go, Fatty."

Fatty lazily opened its eyes, licked its fur, then meowed and stood up, rubbing against Yu Shijiu's thigh.

The person and the cat locked the door from the inside and slowly walked towards the quiet and clean asphalt road not far away.

Honestly, this asphalt road looks pretty good.

Yu Shijiu looked around as he walked, and soon saw groups of players basking in the sun, as well as some sitting on the ground playing cards and other games...

Looking around, all the players in the town seemed to be doing very well, with friends and family... As long as they could come back alive after leaving the game instance, that was the greatest comfort to them.

Yu Shijiu's gaze lingered on the smiling faces of the players for a few seconds before he quickened his pace.

Soon, the familiar sounds of commotion came from not far away.

Yu Shijiu narrowed his eyes slightly and saw that in the eye-catching square not far away, countless players were standing or sitting, staring up at the images on the densely packed screens. Every now and then, someone would take out the vouchers they had redeemed with points and grit their teeth to gamble...

A very familiar scene.

Yu Shijiu thought about the time and realized that she should have seen it two or three times already, right?

It's just really boring.

Yu Shijiu glanced at the players in the square with their crazy expressions, then quickly walked past with Feifei to find a shop.

Inside the square.

The girl in the princess dress blinked, her long, thick eyelashes trembling slightly, like thick, black wings.

"grandmother."

Mushroom candy, biting into a lollipop, mumbled:

"I saw that interesting person."

"Who?"

Grandma Mu seemed to have hearing problems. She turned her head with a smile, her rough, warm fingers gently touching Mu Tangtang's face, and said with a smile:

Who did Tangtang see?

Mutangtang stared at her grandmother's gray hair, the lollipop in her mouth cracking as she bit it.

"An interesting person."

Mu Tangtang repeated the sentence, then jumped off the stool with a smile, grabbed Grandma Mu's hand, and said in a spoiled tone:

"There's no more sugar in Tangtang."

"Grandma, shall we take Tangtang's hand and go buy candy?"

"Of course."

Grandma Mu slowly stood up, took her granddaughter's hand, and walked out of the square. She looked down kindly and asked:

"What flavor of lollipop does Tangtang want this time?"

"...It tastes like green apple, I guess."

Xylitol hesitated for a few seconds and then looked up.

"it is good."
