FTTW: Chapter 21 – Kid’s Meal

Ye You was walking along the road and was suddenly attracted by a stall in the distance.

“What is that?” Ye You asked.

“Cotton candy!” Cheng Zhou said.

Ye You was somewhat impressed and commanded: “It looks good. Go buy it!”

Cheng Zhou frowned and said with some reluctance: “I’m embarrassed.”

Ye You was a bit puzzled and questioned: “Why? You don’t have any money?”

Cheng Zhou shook his head and replied: “That’s not it.” It is just that a few children were crowding over there to buy cotton candy, and he, a big man, going to squeeze in with them would seem a bit unbecoming.

Ye You stared at Cheng Zhou and roared fiercely: “Are you trying to be perfunctory with me?! Go quickly!”

Under Ye You’s pressure, Cheng Zhou had to agree: “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll go, I’ll go.”

Cheng Zhou mixed in a bunch of children, and under the ambiguous smiles of their mothers, finally bought the cotton candy back.

On the side, a few young tourist girls who came here for a vacation looked at the two of them and giggled.

Cheng Zhou stuffed the cotton candy into Ye You’s hand. Then they heard a few strange “ying ying” cries (a subtle cry supposedly coquettish and lovable) nearby.

“Those young girls have been staring at me. Have they discovered something?” Ye You asked with a frown.

Cheng Zhou blinked and said: “You are so good-looking. People will naturally notice you, it’s no big deal.”

Ye You squinted his eyes and asked: “Is that so?”

Cheng Zhou affirmed and said: “Of course!”

The two young girls stood at the side, observing Cheng Zhou and Ye You intently.

“It’s so heartwarming and sweet! He actually bought him cotton candy.”

“This one is really too good-looking. He must be the little shou. Good-looking ones ought to be shou.”

“He should be a foreigner, but not sure which country he is from. He’s so cute and beautiful!”

“He ate it, he ate it! Ah! How can he be so cute?”

“……”

Cheng Zhou heard a few young girls keep saying Ye You is cute and thought: These girls are superficial. They just see the surface. If they’d seen Ye You’s ruthless killing, these people probably wouldn’t be able to utter the word cute to describe him.

Ye You glanced at Cheng Zhou and asked with some curiosity: “What are they saying?”

Cheng Zhou felt awkward and replied: “They said you can really eat!”

Ye You scowled at Cheng Zhou and questioned sullenly: “Are you lying to me?”

Cheng Zhou shook his head and responded very seriously: “No!”

Ye You was full of suspicion and stared at Cheng Zhou for a while. Cheng Zhou met Ye You’s gaze like a dead pig not afraid of the boiling water.

“Go buy it again!” Ye You pointed at the cotton candy stall.

Cheng Zhou’s scalp tingled, and he said weakly: “But I have already bought five.”

Ye You glowered at Cheng Zhou and declared boldly, “I’m a good eater!”

Cheng Zhou inwardly thought: I really can’t live with my own sins! Cheng Zhou looked towards the stall selling cotton candy, and there were more and more radish heads popping in front of the stall. Grabbing the food together with the children, doing this even once is already considered one time too many.

“Let’s go to the mall and change something else to eat. There is plenty of delicious food here (in this world).” Cheng Zhou said ingratiatingly.

“The mall? You mentioned it is a place with a lot of delicious food and fun to play.” Ye You asked.

Cheng Zhou nodded and said: “Yes! Yes!”

Under Cheng Zhou’s strong recommendation, Ye You finally acquiesced.

Cheng Zhou took Ye You to the mall. Inside the mall was very lively, with many customers coming and going at the foyer.

A mall train came to view with a guide sitting in front of the train and a dozen children behind. The train made a “ding dang” noise, which was very attention-grabbing.

Ye You widened his eyes with great interest and inquired: “What is that?”

Cheng Zhou answered awkwardly: “That’s a mall train.”

Ye You looked at Cheng Zhou and said: “I want to ride it too.”

Cheng Zhou said powerlessly: “That’s for kids to ride!”

Ye You sulked and retorted: “There are adults on it too!”

Cheng Zhou nodded and countered: “Yes! But those are adults with their children!”

Ye You gave Cheng Zhou a somewhat reluctant glance and asked: “Do you have any children?”

Cheng Zhou said regretfully: “I don’t.”

Ye You gazed at Cheng Zhou accusingly and questioned: “Why don’t you have any?”

Cheng Zhou: “…… Let’s go and get some food. Aren’t we here for a meal?”

……

Ye You wandered the mall for one round and chose a pizza restaurant by himself.

“I want to eat that!” Seated down in the restaurant, Ye You pointed to the picture of the kid’s meal.

Cheng Zhou gawked at Ye You speechlessly and secretly thought: Ye You doesn’t understand how things stand. He seemed to like to eat what children liked to eat and play what children liked to play. I had just rejected Ye You’s request to ride the children’s train, therefore I should at least fulfill Ye You’s request to eat the kid’s meal, “Okay, okay, okay. Let’s eat this.”

Ye You nods and added: “I want five servings!”

Cheng Zhou: “……” Five sets of kid’s meals, isn’t that excessive?!

Ye You stared at Cheng Zhou and queried: “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

Cheng Zhou shook his head and replied: “No.”

The meal was delivered quickly. Noticing Ye You’s orders, whether it was the waiter who delivered the meals or the customers in the restaurant, they couldn’t help but covertly peek at Ye You.

Ye You quickly realized something, “Is this what kids eat?”

Cheng Zhou nodded and answered: “Yes.”

Ye You blushed and remarked angrily: “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Cheng Zhou countered somewhat innocently, “You’re the one who ordered it!”

Ye You stepped on Cheng Zhou with some annoyance, and Cheng Zhou couldn’t help but feel a little aggrieved.

“You shall eat these!” Ye You pushed towards Cheng Zhou two sets of kid’s meals.

Under Ye You’s eye, Cheng Zhou finished the two remaining kid’s meals from Ye You.

“Mom, look, the two uncles over there are eating the kid’s meal. They are pretending to be young!”

Cheng Zhou heard the words and couldn’t help but be filled with embarrassment.

Ye You couldn’t understand what other people were saying. Seeing a child pointing at them while muttering something, he looked back at the child with great interest. The child who was talking lowered his head a little sheepishly and buried himself in his kid’s meal.

Cheng Zhou looked at Ye You and thought enviously that ignorance is bliss! As long as you don’t understand it, the ones who will be embarrassed are the others.

After leaving the pizza restaurant, Ye You went into a hotpot restaurant. After leaving the hotpot restaurant, they went into a barbecue restaurant. After leaving the barbecue restaurant, they went into the dessert shop……

Ye You is interested in all kinds of delicious food and intends to try everything he sees.

Seeing that his wallet was shrinking, Cheng Zhou’s idea of taking Ye You to a buffet restaurant became stronger and stronger.

Cheng Zhou took Ye You around to eat and drink for three consecutive days.

……

Night fell.

Cheng Zhou and Ye You stayed in the room, eating grilled pork.

Cheng Zhou built a barbecue grill and bought various seasoning powders so that the two of them could eat barbecued meat at home.

Ye You had been eating out for a few days, and his interest in the food here finally decreased a bit.

Although there are many delicacies in Hua country, in terms of meat quality, the wild boar meat obtained by Cheng Zhou in the other world is still superior.

Cheng Zhou also wants to speed up the progress of cultivating his fighting force, and therefore it is more effective for him to eat the meat of a wild boar that had evolved into a demon beast.

This is already the seventh day since the two returned from the other world. Cheng Zhou accompanied Ye You out for three days. The rest of the time, they stayed at home and ate pork.

Cheng Zhou originally wanted to make some smoked pork to send home, but Ye You reminded him that the meat of a semi lesser demon beast would be fine, while the meat of a lesser demon beast is too potent for ordinary people. So, Cheng Zhou had to put off the idea of sending the meat home.

Ye You gnawed on the pork ribs while asking: “Are we going back tomorrow?”

Cheng Zhou confirmed and replied: “Yes.” He felt that his stored energy was almost enough, and he should be able to teleport.

Ye You sighed and expressed reluctantly: “This world is quite good, but unfortunately there is no magic force.”

Ye You did not tell Cheng Zhou that his ability was largely restricted in this world, and his companion weapon could not even materialize.

Ye You’s learning ability is extraordinary. After a few days, Ye You already understood that there is no fighting force or magic in this world. However, because of the power of science, there are many things that seem very incredible.

Cheng Zhou drove the car to a nearby seaside villa garage. This villa was newly rented by Cheng Zhou. The rent was 3,200 yuan a month. Cheng Zhou rented it for a year.

The vacancy rate of villas in this area is very absurd. Even though there are few people living in the high-rise apartment, there are still some people. Moreover, there are also some people who converted their units into temporary lodgings for rent.

The villa was overgrown with weeds, and not a shadow of a person can be seen. The reason why Cheng Zhou rents the house here is that it is cheap. Moreover, the occupancy rate is low, which is better for privacy.

The apartment that Cheng Zhou rented before was good, but it only had an underground parking lot. Previously, he brought the tricycle into the room and traveled across with it. The tricycle could be taken inside the rental apartment’s room through the elevator but this would not work for a car with four wheels.

If he suddenly disappeared from the underground parking lot with his car, it would definitely make headlines.

The villa with a garage is different. As long as he closes the garage door, if he disappears with the car, no one will know.

Compared with the high-rise apartment he rented before, the villa’s security is better, but previously, he was cash-strapped.

Cheng Zhou loaded the things he has prepared into the car. A total of twenty boxes of buns and twenty boxes of instant noodles.

The buns were bought by Cheng Zhou at the wholesale market, and it was half the price of the pineapple buns Cheng Zhou bought before.

The instant noodles are ordinary ones, about two yuan a packet. A hundred yuan can buy a large box.

Cheng Zhou drove his car into the cave and it got stuck. Cheng Zhou exited the car.

Cheng Zhou looked at the car stuck in the cave and inwardly thought: The next time I cross over, I have to find a flat area. Now the car is stuck in the cave and it is not easy to drive it.

Ye You stepped out of the car, leaned on it, and asked lazily: “Cheng Zhou, are you getting ready to go to Black Wheat Village now?”

Cheng Zhou bobbed his head and invited: “Yes! Are you coming along?”

“I’ll stay out of sight, but I’ll follow you. We have a contract so don’t expect to get rid of me.” Ye You warned seriously.

Cheng Zhou laughed and responded: “Why do you think so? I’m still at the master’s beck and call.” Although Ye You has a bad temper, he is a rare living encyclopedia! Don’t say that he can’t get rid of him, even if he could, he wouldn’t want to!

Ye You snorted and said: “What you’re saying does not reflect your heart.”

Cheng Zhou: “……” He was clearly serious.

Ye You’s ability is very special. Cheng Zhou feels that the other party seems to be able to control light. The other party can alter the light spectrum to completely hide his body.
