Ch.144 Hot Pot (3)

Right now, her stomach was screaming for food. Lin Yueqi couldn’t take the torture anymore and ran downstairs. She opened the fridge and began stuffing her mouth frantically.

She only wanted to fill her empty stomach with food to get rid of that hollow feeling, and also to gain joy from the food.

She knew that something was wrong with Li Murou’s food and was very frustrated with herself for not being able to hold back.

Lin Yu had just finished giving Tuantuan a bath and the little girl ran down in a spaghetti strap dress. She ran down barefoot to find her Mama.

Lin Yu followed after her and shouted with a frown. “Put on your shows, Tuantuan! You better not catch a cold.”

But Tuantuan didn’t listen and ran down the stairs barefooted.

Lu Ting heard that Lin Yueqi would be home today and also finished work early to come home. He hung his briefcase on the rack at the entrance and changed into his slippers before heading in.

As he was about to head upstairs, the fat little girl rushed over and jumped straight onto his lap.

Lu Ting picked up the little girl in one smooth motion and said in a gentle voice. “You got heavier again. What did you do? Not wearing your shoes again?”

Lin Yu rushed over and said with a sigh, “She’s getting naughtier.”

Tuantuan hugged her father’s neck, burying her chubby face shamefully between her father’s neck, looking aggrieved. “I just couldn’t wait to see Qiqi.”

At the same time, the three people in the living room heard the noise in the kitchen.

Lu Ting and Lin Yu looked at each other and walked over to the kitchen in unison.

When they reached the entrance, they saw the image of Lin Yueqi burying her face into the refrigerator.

She was wearing a strap dress and standing barefoot in front of the fridge.

Lu Ting approached her with Tuantuan and tapped her shoulder. “What are you doing?”

Lin Yueqi turned back. Her cheeks were bulging and her mouth was filled with leafy greens. She was still chewing the vegetables and making a chewing noise with her mouth. Her abdomen was bulging abnormally from eating too many foreign objects.

After chewing and swallowing the vegetables into her stomach. she grabbed a piece of winter melon from the refrigerator and stuffed it into her mouth with the fuzzy skin.

Lin Yu was stunned when she saw this and quickly snatched the winter melon from her hands. Red-eyed she said, “Qiqi! What are you doing?!”

Lin Yueqi then took an onion out of the fridge and put it into her mouth, crunching on it.

When Lu ting saw that the situation wasn’t good, he immediately put Tuantuan down and slapped the food out of her hands, grabbing her uncontrollable hands. The little girl was clearly also scared silly by how her mother looked. She hugged Lin Yueqi’s legs, crying and shouting, “Mama, don’t be like this, Tuantuan is scared.”

Lin Yueqi’s mouth was pricked by the burrs of the winter melon, but her hunger was more painful than that.

Lu Ting frowned. He grabbed her hands and pressed her against the kitchen wall. “What on earth are you doing?”

As if she was suffering from withdrawal, Lin Yueqi began to sniffle from the lack of food. Her eyes were dilated and she couldn’t stop shaking. With the only willpower she had left, she managed to utter one sentence, “I’m so hungry, Lu Ting. I’m so fucking hungry, give me food! I want to eat!”

The smell of the white meat hotpot still lingered in her nose, and she couldn’t stop her tears from flowing as she spoke.

Lu Ting was wearing a white shirt with the sleeves pulled up to his elbow, and a firm forearm was displayed in front of Lin Yueqi’s eyes. She stared at Lu Ting’s arms, swallowed her saliva, and bit down without hesitation.

Seeing the urgency of the situation, Lin Yu looked around, picked up an iron pot, and smashed Lin Yueqi’s head with a bang.

With a heavy blow to the back of her head, Lin Yueqi’s sight went dark. She fainted.

“Ding—The ‘Food Hunger Disease’ function you used has worked. This is a strong function that can only be used once. From today on, this function will be permanently locked.”

Li Murou was making soup in the kitchen when she suddenly heard the system prompt.

The tomato broth in the pot emitted a sweet fragrance, and the dazzling red of the tomatoes dyed the soup in an alluring hue. The assistant beside her kept gulping.

It smelled too good.

She wondered if she was hallucinating from the aroma, but it felt as if she could see light coming out of the pot. The assistant thought that “Chuka Ichiban” was exaggerating every dish for the sake of art, but it wasn’t until she tried Li Murou’s dishes that she realized that the presentation of the food in “Chuka Ichiban” was not exaggerated.
