Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 206 Milk

Anjie: "..."

Chen Yi, who was busy cooking a few more dishes: "..."

The former's lips twitched, while the latter chuckled and said:

"Oh, it seems you and Yu Shijiu get along quite well?"

“Of course,” Xu Han said, raising his head. “Yu Shijiu is easy to get along with.”

Anjie was slowly squatting on the ground peeling garlic. Upon hearing this, she flicked the garlic skin off her hands and said without looking up:

"You said just a few days ago that he was terrifying and that you would never enter the same game instance with him again."

Xu Han: "..."

"Did you say that? Who said that? It wasn't me, was it? I never said that!"

Xu Han immediately denied it three times, completely ignoring An Jie's gaze and pretending to be stupid.

"okay."

Anjie disapproved of Xu Han's feigned death and rolled her eyes, saying:

"What were you bragging about with Yu Shijiu just now?"

"..." Xu Han rolled his eyes and then reluctantly recounted his conversation with Yu Shijiu.

"That's it?"

Anjie looked up in surprise: "Is Yu Shijiu angry?"

"No……"

Xu Han said dejectedly, "But it's really embarrassing. I was so serious and confident, and I really looked like an ordinary guy..."

Anjie suppressed a laugh: "...You finally have self-awareness, that's not easy."

Xu Han instantly became furious: "Sister An!"

"Alright, alright," Chen Yi stopped chopping vegetables, smiling as he smoothed things over, and didn't forget to give Xu Han a little pointer.

"Shi Jiu was just teasing you, but you took it seriously."

"..."

"what?!"

Xu Han looked up in bewilderment, his eyes wide, and said, "Is he kidding me? It doesn't seem like it. I think he just really likes eating cake!"

"If you like cake, then eat it. But when it comes to cream, even the biggest fan can only eat a small piece every day before getting tired of it."

Sister An interjected with a chilling remark from the side.

"Besides, Yu Shijiu still needs to eat. He can't just keep eating every day, can he?"

Unlike her, I'm not suffering from the side effects of my innate skills.

However, Yu Shijiu does eat very fiercely... but something just feels a little strange.

Chen Yi nodded: "Shi Jiu does love cake, but I don't know why, I always feel that rather than saying he loves cake, it's more like he's never actually eaten anything good..."

Sister An paused while peeling garlic.

She suddenly realized something, and a nerve in her brain twitched briefly.

“You mean,” Anjie thought of her initial situation when she first arrived at Dawn Games, and pursed her lips:

"Was Yu Shijiu hungry before he died?"

Chen Yi was silent for a few seconds, then nodded after hesitating: "It should be."

"His physical appearance was less due to illness and more like the result of long-term malnutrition and starvation... It was very similar to Sister An's condition back then."

"?"

Xu Han, a new player who joined later, was completely clueless at this moment:

"Like Sister An? Like in what way?"

How are Yu Shijiu and Sister An alike? Their personalities and appearances are completely different!

Chen Yi and An Jie exchanged a knowing glance, and the former simply gave a vague answer:

"It's nothing, hurry up and deliver the milk, don't keep Shi Jiu waiting."

This reminder jolted Xu Han awake, causing her to scream as if from a dream, and she quickly headed for her room.

The sudden scream startled Fatty, who was sitting on the sofa downstairs.

It jumped off the sofa with a half-eaten peach in its mouth, looked up at the upstairs several times, and only after confirming that nothing was wrong did it lower its head, walk back to the sofa, jump on it, and lie down.

What are you meowing for?! You scared me to death!!!

upstairs.

After Xu Han entered the room, An Jie slowly got up, patted the garlic peel off her clothes, and spoke in a low voice.

"Are you sure Yu Shijiu has endured hunger for many years?"

When she first met Yu Shijiu, she felt that he was much thinner than he looked on screen. Both his body and face were extremely thin, with skin and bones barely touching each other.

In addition, Yu Shijiu is not very old, which makes people feel sorry for him.

Chen Yi nodded slightly: "It should be. His weight loss doesn't seem to be caused by illness. Xu Han was also very thin when he first entered Dawn, but his condition is completely different from Yu Shijiu's."

Anjie didn't say anything.

She just stared at the garlic peels she had just thrown into the trash can, remained silent for a long time, and then looked up calmly.

"Then let's take better care of it."

Chen Yi turned his head to look at her, his gaze knowing.

"Let's raise it a bit more, until it's a little fatter."

Anjie said.

inside the room.

As soon as Xu Han entered the room, he was met with a pair of teary, amber eyes.

Xu Han: "???"

Realizing that Yu Shijiu was "crying," he exclaimed "Holy crap!" and quickly grabbed his drink, sat down next to Yu Shijiu, and said anxiously:

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly crying?"

Yu Shijiu, whose lips were swollen from the spiciness, blinked, and water droplets dripped down her eyelashes, startling Xu Han so much that he instantly bristled.

"My God? What happened to you, Shi Jiu?! Is it—"

"this."

Yu Shijiu pointed to the half-eaten spicy strip in his hand and blinked, saying:

"It's so spicy!"

Xu Han: "..."

He belatedly looked down, his gaze shifting from the half-eaten spicy snack in Yu Shijiu's hand to the other's red nose and eye sockets... and fell silent.

No wonder there was a strong smell of chili powder when I entered the room.

"You can't eat spicy food?"

Xu Han twisted open the milk in his hand and handed it to Yu Shijiu, asking curiously.

"I've never eaten this before."

Yu Shijiu took the milk and drank a sip. His lips stung from the spiciness when he touched the bottle opening.

He frowned slightly, tilted his head back, and took a big gulp of milk.

After swallowing the sweet and sour milk, the spiciness subsided considerably, and Yu Shijiu's curiosity shifted back to the milk bottle in her hand.

"Sour milk?"

Xu Han nodded. "Yeah, it's yogurt. This yogurt isn't thick, it's the thin kind, and it's sweet and sour. I think you'll like it."

Yu Shijiu's eyes lit up for a moment, and he nodded, saying, "Yes, it tastes very good, quite different from what I've had before."

"before?"

Xu Han immediately became interested and turned his head to ask, "What did the milk you used to drink taste like?"

Yu Shijiu tilted her head and thought carefully for a moment, then obediently said:

"It's a very white liquid, with a slight sweetness, but not as sweet as cake. Before I ate cake, I thought it was the sweetest thing—"

A scene suddenly flashed through Yu Shijiu's mind.

She was sitting on the windowsill with her chubby friend in her arms, holding a thin rope in her hand, talking to the person below.

"Hey! Next time, make it really sweet!"

Yu Shijiu stood there, stunned.

Why do I never remember this memory?

milk……

Yu Shijiu subconsciously looked at the sweet and sour yogurt bottle in his hand, his fingers curling up unnaturally.

In my memory, was milk really a "nutritional package" provided at the sanatorium?
