Infinite: Dawn Game

Anjie didn't respond. Her gaze lingered for several seconds on the pink ribbons tied in He Lingling's two low ponytails before she smiled and nodded.

“You’re right,” Anjie’s throat bobbed, a hint of a smile creeping over her lips. “Xiaohan is too naive.”

He Lingling felt a little strange after hearing what she said, and her cheeks suddenly felt hot for some reason.

She subconsciously touched her bow-tie braid hanging down her chest, feeling that Anjie's words just now had a hidden meaning.

Even the clever Lingling didn't immediately grasp Anjie's teasing.

After everyone sat down at the table and started eating dumplings, Chen Yi placed the pickled cowpeas he had specially brought on the table and happily told them to eat dumplings with the pickled cowpeas.

Chen Yi's dumplings were indeed very good. Even though frozen dumplings don't taste as good as fresh ones, the way they were cooked, along with Chen Yi's special broth seasoning and pickled cowpeas, made the hungry group devour them with relish.

The phrase "wolfing down food" here specifically refers to Xu Han.

Xu Han was really hungry. He didn't know why he was so hungry, probably because he was tired from training these past few days.

Yu Shijiu blew on the dumplings in his bowl to cool them down, then placed them on the plate in front of Feifei and whispered:

"Eat this, the filling was made by Brother Chen, it's delicious."

Fatty was busy licking its paws when it heard this. It raised its round eyes to look at the dumplings on the plate, let out a soft "meow," and swallowed the dumplings in the plate.

Yu Shijiu swallowed the dumpling in his throat and immediately became anxious: "Fatty!"

Fatty tilted his head, crunching on the dumpling in his mouth, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Meow meow meow?"

—What's wrong, meow?

Yu Shijiu, worried that Feifei might burn herself from eating too fast: "...It's alright now."

Fatty gave him a strange look, then raised its paw to lick itself before looking at Chen Yi, who was getting up to go to the kitchen.

Boom!

Feifei jumped off the chair with a light yet heavy gait and ran into the kitchen, chasing after Chen Yi's retreating figure.

Xu Han picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling, "Why did Feifei go chasing after Brother Chen?"

"Brother Chen prepared a special breakfast for Fei Fei."

Yu Shijiu picked up the bowl, took a sip of dumpling soup, and smiled contentedly with his eyes narrowed.

"They seem to have more than us."

Xu Han: "?"

Xu Han swallowed the dumpling, incredulous: "Brother Chen still has time to make two breakfasts?"

"Eat your food properly." Anjie tapped the table lightly. "Don't forget what Chen Yi's job is. Two breakfasts? Four or five breakfasts wouldn't be difficult for him."

Yu Shijiu interjected curiously, "Can Brother Chen do everything?"

Anjie hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly, "I don't think I can cook Western food?"

He Lingling picked up a dumpling, took a bite, and nodded upon hearing this, saying, "Isn't Brother Chen a Chinese cuisine chef?"

"No wonder Brother Chen's Chinese food is so delicious..."

While the group was chatting idly, Chen Yi returned to the table with a large plate of dried roasted fish.

Behind them followed Fatty, who was jumping around excitedly.

"Meow meow meow... Meow!"

He placed the dried grilled fish on the table in front of Fatty's seat, then went back to the kitchen to serve himself a bowl of dumplings.

Fatty gracefully leaned forward to smell the dried grilled fish on the plate before slowly picking up a piece and starting to crunch it out.

Yu Shijiu smelled the aroma of dried roasted fish mixed in the air and was curious about the taste of the dried roasted fish.

It smells so good! Can he have one to try?

"ah?!!"

Xu Han's scream instantly shattered the silence at the dinner table.

The group instinctively looked over and saw Xu Han covering her hand that had been grabbed, looking pitiful and on the verge of tears as she gazed at the protective fat cat.

"Meow!!! Meow meow meow!!!"

—That's too much, meow! You actually tried to steal my dried fish, meow!!!

The fat cat, whose dried grilled fish had almost been taken away, stared intently at Xu Han with its eerie green eyes and let out a series of angry meows.

Yu Shijiu also looked at Xu Han with disapproval, his face showing no trace of his earlier thought about trying the dried grilled fish.

"Brother Han, you've gone too far. Look how angry you've made Fatty."

As he spoke, Yu Shijiu gently patted Feifei's frizzy head and body, and sighed to comfort Feifei and tell him not to be angry.

Xu Han awkwardly touched the back of his hand, which had just been scratched by Fei Fei, and the white scratches were clearly visible on it.

"Haha, just kidding, just kidding... Fatty, don't be mad at me, I was really just joking..."

Feifei ignored Xu Han's apology, meowed a few times, and then continued to eat its dried grilled fish.

He Lingling, who was standing next to Xu Han, glanced at the back of Xu Han's hand and knew that Fei Fei hadn't used any force.

Otherwise, with Fatty's strength, if he really grabbed Xu Han, he would probably tear off a huge chunk of flesh and bone... well, even with bone fragments in tow.

Anjie didn't even look up; she felt like she was starving, and she slurped down her soup and ate her dumplings.

Yu Shijiu stopped patting Feifei's head and continued eating the dumplings in his bowl.

Ah... a bowl or two of hot dumplings first thing in the morning is so delicious!

Hey.

A crispy, caramelized dried fish suddenly appeared beside Yu Shijiu's bowl. Yu Shijiu was startled, but quickly caught the dried fish with her chopsticks before it fell into the dumpling soup.

A fluffy orange and white cat paw scratched at the edge of the bowl on the table.

"Meow."

—Here's some cat food for you.

It's Fatty.

Feifei specially gave him a piece of dried grilled fish.

Yu Shijiu was instantly moved, and stuffed a piece of grilled dried fish into his mouth, saying indistinctly:

"Feifei, you're so kind."

Fatty raised its paw and licked it, then let out a proud "meow".

Xu Han, standing nearby: "..."

Xu Han clutched her chest in disbelief, saying with difficulty and pain, "Feifei...you've hurt my love for you so much..."

His response was a furious meow from Fatty.

Xu Han, who was hit with another blow: "..."

He instantly lowered his head, turning his grief and anger into appetite, and began to eat dumplings voraciously.

He Lingling and An Jie: "..."

He Lingling thought to herself, "How childish is he?"

When Chen Yi returned, the group quickly finished their hearty breakfast, each of them eating until their bellies were full—except for An Jie.

Chen Yi also asked An Jie and Yu Shijiu if they wanted to eat something else. He was worried that there wouldn't be enough to eat, so he specially brought some glutinous rice balls from the villa's refrigerator.

Yu Shijiu was somewhat eager to try, but after touching his stomach, he gave up.

"Brother Chen, I'm full." Yu Shijiu said obediently, "I can't eat anymore."

Chen Yi then looked at An Jie.

“…” An Jie’s lips twitched, she took a tissue to wipe her mouth and said, “I’m about done too, I’ll skip the glutinous rice balls.”

She just needs to eat because of side effects... but she's not like a pig being forced to eat...
