Chapter 191 [Empire] Mashed Potatoes
When I opened my eyes again, the room was still pitch black. I glanced at my laptop and saw it was already morning.
I really don't want to get out of bed. It's so damp and cold outside... Inside the quilt, it's warm, even a little hot. My body is hot, and the people around me are hot.
Of course I know I can't do that.
After hitting the flower buds at hand, the room was lit up with a fluorescent green light.
I drank half a glass of water to slightly suppress the heat in my chest.
The furry ears on the bed trembled slightly. He seemed a little unsure how to face me.
The air was somewhat oppressive. I felt irritated for no apparent reason.
It was already morning, but the room was still dark, devoid of any hint of morning air. There was nothing there that one should see in the morning: sunshine, a morning breeze, the scent of dew, the morning cry of some creature, or perhaps... a good morning from a lover.
I sighed softly, oh, what am I thinking about.
Then, as if possessed by some strange force, I opened my laptop and sent a good morning message to Wen Ya.
Then he frowned again and sent good morning messages to everyone he had contacted and talked to.
Wen Ya did not reply. Perhaps she was too emotional last night and could not sleep well.
Qin Annan and his wife got up early as usual. Lin Rong directly sent them a warm and enthusiastic good morning greeting voice message. The message was cheerful and energetic, and the content was concise. Just a simple greeting made people feel much happier.
Qin Annan typed a long paragraph in a rambling manner.
He instructed me on how to use the water purifier, how to eat dried potatoes, how to stay warm, how to reduce humidity in the room, how to ventilate the room, and so on and so forth... He was attentive and patient. He was a very gentle person. Finally, realizing words might not be enough, he sent a video call invitation.
After the video call with Qin Annan and his wife, my mood improved a lot. I was no longer so worried about the rain that I didn't know when it would stop.
Ye Lin still read the message but didn't reply.
Ye Qing didn't even open the message. He must be busy, as he wouldn't be up at this hour.
I haven't had much contact with the others.
I had a brief conversation with Mr. Li, Shan Qi's secretary or assistant, but it was inappropriate to just send him a good morning message early in the morning without any other information.
Although Xiaomaoer hasn't spoken to me since adding me on the brain, I sent him a good morning message because of our once life-long friendship. It's still unread.
Did this guy go to the Mercenary Guild again?
I mashed the hard potato bit by bit. Then, slowly soaking it in water in a small bowl, Qin Annan said it was like instant mashed potatoes, even with cold water, it would dissolve properly. Sitting quietly by the bed, I watched White Ear curled up in the quilt. I felt a little annoyed.
He patted the bed rudely and said, "Stop pretending to sleep! Get up and eat!"
He gently pulled down the quilt, revealing a pair of somewhat innocent almond-shaped eyes.
I handed him the barely soaked mashed potatoes. "Why are you pretending... You were nagging all night long last night, almost keeping me awake. And you're still pretending like this this morning."
I saw that the man's face was visibly red. He didn't dare to say a word or look at me. He buried his head and ate the cold mashed potatoes in the bowl.
Holding a plate of freshly mashed potatoes, I fell into deep thought. As we all know, mashed potatoes are primarily carbohydrates. Tactical cakes are also primarily carbohydrates, but with more fat. After much deliberation, I finally brought out a plate of cakes: "That's all I'll eat."
