Chapter 66 - Dress (1/2)
Everyone looked over at Su Min.
Yan Jing Cai and Xu Yixiang were most frightened. They glanced at the two dishes in front of Su Min and looked back at Su Min. They had no idea what was going on.
Su Min looked at the two dishes before him in silence.
One was a plate of stir-fried spinach and another was edamame stir-fried with shredded pork.
Seeing those scattered pieces of meat mixed in, Su Min had a strange thought. This shredded meat couldn’t have been made using Xiao Chen’s flesh, right?
Xiao Chen once again left the room after serving the food.
The old director looked at Su Min and said generously, “Eat well and don’t waste it. It’s shameful wasting food.”
Su Min felt that he was pulled into a strange plot. Why are they forcing him to eat? He’s not hungry at all.
He and the frightened Yan Jing Cai looked at each other. He then looked down and poked at the food before him with his chopsticks.
Nothing strange appeared.
Su Min shook his head at Yan Jing Cai. Yang Jing Cai and Xu Yixiang breathed a sigh of relief, but they still didn’t dare eat.
The old director didn’t pay attention to whether or not they were eating and started to slowly eat himself. Each mouthful had to be chewed for a long time before he could swallow it.
Shi Nansheng asked while eating: “Why are there so few children now?”
He learned that there were only seven children in the orphanage last night, but he had only seen the three here.
The old director frowned when he said this, “They didn’t want to eat. I’ll have to coax them over later.”
Shi Nansheng frowned, “Children are so troublesome.”
He no longer remembered the fact that he used to be the most troublesome child at the orphanage who had a very bad temper.
The old director said: “Can’t be helped.”
Shi Nansheng thought about and felt that it was indeed the case. You couldn’t hit or scold a child and can only speak reason to them, but they wouldn’t necessarily accept it so conflicts can easily happen.
This was why children are the most difficult to take care of.
Su Min carefully observed the three children sitting opposite him. They were also eating the food prepared by Xiao Chen and had very small bowls. Every time they took a bite, they would look at him.
This was especially the case for the young girl. Her eyes were fixed onto him.
Su Min who was being looked at felt extremely uncomfortable but every time her gaze was met with his, she would look down shyly.
Su Min: “……..”
What can he say in this situation?
Half an hour later, a child suddenly ran down from upstairs and shouted: “Ahhhhhh Ming Ming’s hitting someone again!”
The old director almost choked. He quickly stood up and turned his head: “What’s wrong? Why is he suddenly hitting someone?”
The child cried and said: “I don’t know.”
The old director knitted his brows and left his seat, “You can continue eating. I’ll take a look upstairs.”
Yan Jing Cai prayed for him to hurry up and leave, “Okay.”
As long as the old director left, he would no longer need to act and could quickly dispose of the food.
The old director left together with the child.
At the dining table, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed. Shi Nansheng was still happily devouring his food: “Why aren’t you eating?”
Han Qinqin didn’t eat much so she only had a few bites.
Yan Jing Cai and Xu Yixiang sat stiffly in their seats. The food before them was turned over countless times but they didn’t take a single bite.
The two said in unison: “You eat. We’re not hungry.”
Shi Nansheng looked at them for a moment and shrugged: “Okay then.”
But the moment he was done saying that, he felt something strange. He spat out something from his mouth, “Why is this bone so big?”
Everyone’s eyes looked over.
A severed finger sat on the table.
As a painter, Shi Nansheng knew fully well what part it was, and he was completely stunned.
Yan Jing Cai immediately said to Xu Yixiang: “Fortunately it wasn’t ours.”
The two of them had been looking through their food for a long time fearing that the severed finger was in their food.
They didn’t expect it to fall in the distrustful Shi Nansheng’s plate.
More importantly, he had also eaten it.
Shi Nansheng jumped out of his seat, “What the hell is with this dish?! Who did this?!”
Su Min remained calm: “We warned you.”
Shi Nansheng recalled the words spoken before they ate. At that time, he ridiculed them and even taunted them, and now he had his face slapped.
Han Qinqin who sat furthest away comforted him: “Maybe it’s chicken feet.”
Shi Nansheng shook his head, “Chicken feet isn’t like this……..”
The skin on the severed finger was gone and only the bones and connective tissue was left. He immediately started to retch and tried to vomit out the contents in his stomach.
Su Min looked over at the three children.
They didn’t appear to care about what was happening and just continued to eat their own food. In addition to that, they also watched him.
Shi Nansheng cursed: “What the fuck?!”
He then ran out the back door. He was clearly going to go find Xiao Chen to settle things.
Yan Jing Cai frowned: “Will he…..”
Xu Yixiang finished his sentence: “Will Xiao Chen kill him?”
And then cook him up and serve it over for them to eat…….Like that meat bun made from human meat? And Xiao Chen is the butcher?
She was disgusted by her own thoughts.
Su Min stood up: “Let’s go and see.”
Unexpectedly, before they were able to leave their seats Shi Nansheng returned. His expression was awkward and there was even a trace of fear.
Su Min felt that he probably saw something.
Yan Jing Cai asked: “Didn’t you go find Xiao Chen?”
Shi Nansheng didn’t’ answer. He went straight down the corridor and locked himself in his room.
Han Qinqin wasn’t pleased with this: “What is with his attitude? It’s not like we’re the ones who offended him.”
To be honest, she was the one who knew least about the situation.
Even with the severed finger, because she didn’t know what it looked like after the skin was off, she wasn’t particularly scared.
Seeing that she wasn’t getting a response, Han Qinqin again asked: “So the things you said earlier about the kitchen was true?”
Xu Yixiang thought for a moment and said: “Of course. You should be able to tell after seeing Shi Nansheng’s behaviour. He didn’t believe us.”
From this, Han Qinqin understood that this was the aftermath of not believing their words.
Su Min reminded them: “Get rid of the food first.”
Yan Jing Cai returned to his senses: “Yes, yes, yes. Do it before the old director is back or it’ll be too late.”
In the end, the food was all thrown out outside.
The unpleasant meal was over.
When they returned upstairs, they could still hear the intermittent cries from the other side.
Su Min didn’t have any intention to check and went directly back to his room to have a snack.
Yan Jin Cai was shocked when he saw the snacks in his suitcase, “Why did you bring so much food here? Did you expect this?”
Su Min said: “I just like to eat snacks.”
He distributed two packs over to Yan Jing Cai and Xu Yixiang.
Having not eaten anything for lunch, they were starving. At this moment, even if they were just dry biscuits, they felt that they were the most delicious things on earth.
