Infinite: Dawn Game

He Lingling and Chen Yi, who had been left behind by Xu Han, exchanged a glance and sighed.

"What to eat?"

Xu Han looked up at the large bowl of braised pork in front of Yu Shijiu with great interest, glanced at the unused fork next to Yu Shijiu, and reached out to take it.

"Let me have a bite of your braised pork first, and if it's good, I'll order some for you later—ah!"

Xu Han's fork, which was holding the braised pork, was caught in place by a pair of chopsticks and couldn't move.

Xu Han: "???? Not Shi Jiu, you—"

"can not eat."

Yu Shijiu carefully and forcefully removed the fork that Xu Han had stuck in the braised pork plate, glancing at the meat juices stuck to her chopsticks with some disdain.

He Lingling and Chen Yi also sat down. The former took out a tissue from her pocket and handed it to Yu Shijiu, frowning as she looked at the plate of braised pork that looked and smelled delicious, and said:

"The color and taste of this meat are wrong."

"What's wrong?" Xu Han didn't react for a moment. "It smells pretty good to me. It's about as good as what you made, Brother Chen—"

"It's highly likely to be a doxxing."

He Lingling glanced at the braised pork and made her judgment.

Xu Han: "..."

His hand holding the fork froze in place, his gaze involuntarily moving from the handle of the fork to the fork tip.

There were still bits of meat scraps and oil left on the fork tip from where it had been pierced into the braised pork. A few drops dripped onto the table, and with a "plop," a drop of soup mixed with the meat juices splashed out.

"vomit!"

Xu Han felt a churning in his stomach and immediately gagged, covering his mouth.

"Do you still dare to eat whatever you want?"

He Lingling chuckled and said, "If Shi Jiu hadn't stopped you in time, you would have been the first among us to eat human flesh."

Xu Han's face contorted in pain: "...You, you stop talking, ugh!"

Chen Yi said helplessly, "Lingling, stop teasing Xiaohan. He's probably feeling really nauseous right now."

"I just want to disgust him on purpose, to see if he dares to eat whatever he wants next time."

Xu Han said indignantly, "I thought Shi Jiu was eating!"

"So stupid," He Lingling rolled her eyes and complained.

"Don't you think about Shi Jiu's love for meat? If there were no problem, would he leave a whole plate of braised pork uneaten and only eat the vegetable leaves? — Shi Jiu, I didn't mean to say anything bad about you."

He Lingling quickly changed the subject, "You leafy vegetable, oops, I mean, is this salad tasty?"

"is acceptable."

Yu Shijiu didn't care what He Lingling said. His shoulder-length, short hair swayed as he nodded, and some of it touched his lips.

"While eating, I felt like a sheep."

"sheep?"

Before He Lingling could react, Chen Yi next to her was already laughing.

"Shi Jiu, you really are..."

He Lingling: "..."

Yu Shijiu blinked, looking bewildered, and said, "Isn't that right? Don't sheep all eat vegetable leaves?"

"...Sheep eat grass, right?"

Xu Han, who had finally recovered from the disgust of almost eating human flesh, immediately joined the discussion.

"I saw on TV that sheep eat grass."

“I eat vegetable leaves too.” Yu Shijiu said seriously, “I think grass and vegetable leaves must taste the same.”

"Really? Vegetable leaves should taste better than grass."

Xu Han chimed in.

“No,” Yu Shijiu insisted, “they smell almost the same.”

He Lingling and Chen Yi, who were standing nearby, were speechless.

That said, shouldn't they be discussing why the main ingredient in braised pork is "human flesh" instead of whether vegetables and grass taste alike?

Sometimes I really think Xu Han and Yu Shijiu both seem to have a bit of an "idiotic" (not really) mindset...

"Ladies and gentlemen," the hotel staff member reappeared, maintaining her smiling service as she bowed and gently inquired:

What would you all like to eat for lunch?

"..." He Lingling politely ordered, "Give me a salad just like his, I need to eat less oily food because I'm on a diet."

"Okay, and what about you?"

The hotel staff turned to look at Chen Yi.

Chen Yi chuckled and said, "I'll have a bowl of vegetable salad too. I'm too fat and want to lose some weight."

"What about you?"

The hotel staff finally turned to Xu Han: "What would you like to eat?"

Xu Han: "..."

His gaze involuntarily fell on the plate of braised pork that was supposedly made from "human flesh," and after swallowing hard, he hesitated and said:

"How about I have a bowl of sand too—"

Before he could finish saying the last "la," he was apologetically interrupted by a hotel staff member.

"By the way, we don't have enough ingredients for another salad in the kitchen. You wouldn't like to order a salad too, would you?"

Xu Han: "..."

His vision went black, and he felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed. He instinctively looked at the other three: "..."

Chen Yi was about to speak when He Lingling gloated. As for Yu Shijiu and Feifei—

Yu Shijiu stopped chewing the vegetable leaves, picked up the fish soup in front of him, took a sip, and said with a smile, his eyes narrowed:

"The fish soup is delicious."

Xu Han instantly understood, slammed his hand on the table, and said, "I want a bowl of fish soup that tastes exactly like his!"

The hotel staff, who were taken aback, were speechless.

The players sitting next to us, ordering food with other hotel staff: "..."

What kind of fish soup is so delicious that it makes me so emotional?

Would they like to order a bowl and try it too?

However, the hotel staff were very professional and quickly maintained their smiles and nodded.

"A bowl of fish soup, is that all? Is there anything else you'd like to order? Actually, our hotel's braised pork and ribs are quite good..."

The hotel staff were enthusiastically introducing the products, but Xu Han felt incredibly bitter, especially when he heard about braised pork and spare ribs... He felt nauseous again.

“No, no need,” Xu Han said, racking his brains to refuse. “I haven’t had a good appetite lately. I can’t eat anything too greasy. I can only have some light fish soup or something.”

“Okay,” the hotel staff member said professionally, stopping their recommendations and then asking, “Would the three of you like some rice?”

"Let's each have a bowl," Chen Yi decided. "Could I have a little more in my bowl?"

"Of course, sir." The hotel staff member nodded, quickly scribbled a few lines on his notebook, and bent down before stepping back.

"The food will be delivered in about ten minutes, please wait patiently."

Only after the staff members disappeared from sight did Xu Han's heart slowly calm down.

He was so touched that he wanted to take out some snacks—but he didn't.

Xu Han's eyes widened instantly, and he whispered in fear, "I can't produce anything?"

The other three paused slightly.

He Lingling seemed to realize something, her expression changed, and a few seconds later, she cursed with an equally ugly look on her face.

"They can't take out anything that's food."
