Chapter 120 - Cooking (1/2)

So when she heard Xia He Yin say that, Song Nan Nan couldn’t help herself.

She thought back for a moment, “When I looked back, I would always see someone looking at me and smiling. Sometimes they would quickly look away as if they were afraid of being found out.”

It was really too strange.

If it happened once or twice then she wouldn’t think much of it but it happened quite often.

Song Nan Nan was not a fool. She naturally felt that something wasn’t right, but she also didn’t know why.

Xia He Yin patted her shoulder, “It’s okay. As soon as we find a phone, we can contact someone and go back.”

As long as there is signal, they could call for another boat. No matter how much money is required, she wanted to go back.

This place was too dangerous, and they didn’t know if Tang Yishu was still alive. Thinking that he was likely dead, she didn’t want to stay here any longer.

If she stayed here for another day, she would become more irritable.

“I know.” Song Nan Nan lowered her voice: “I just can’t stay here any longer. It feels dangerous. You know what I’m saying?”

Hearing her words, Su Min sighed internally.

Su Ying stood next to him and tugged at his shirt, “Brother, bend down. I have something to say to you.”

Su Min bent down, “What is it?”

Su Ying leaned close to his ear and said quietly: “Will this Song Nan Nan be the next one? Look at her now.”

Hearing her words, Su Min looked at Song Nan Nan.

Having not rested well last night, Song Nan Nan looked very languished. Coupled with her anxiety about their current predicament, she looked like she would break down any moment.

It really looked like something would happen to her.

To be honest, Su Min knew that it was inevitable, but he naturally didn’t wish for anyone to have anything happen to them.

He said: “Pay more attention tonight.”

Su Ying nodded, “I know.”

Song Nan Nan didn’t know they were talking about her. After mulling in her anxious thoughts for a while, she said to Qin Mu Yin: “Can we have breakfast now?”

Qin Mu Yin was about to speak when the kitchen door on the other end opened.

Breakfast was congee. When the captain came out from the kitchen, the original crew went over to greet him.

“You’ve worked hard captain. Today’s food smells great. It smells much better than yesterdays. I can’t wait.”

“Captain’s skills have improved by leaps and bounds.”

“Did you add something to the food today captain? HAHAHA.”

Hearing those words, Su Min’s heart fell.

He was afraid that the captain may have cut Tang Yishu up and added his internal organs and meat into the food. That would really make it a cannibal’s food.

That sentence itself sounded too ambiguous.

The captain smiled slightly and replied: “What could I have added? It’s still the same as before, plain congee. Let’s hurry and eat. Don’t let it get cold.”

After hearing this, Su Min subconsciously sighed.

By contrast, the reactions of the others turned cold.

After waiting for a while, Xia He Yin was the one who eventually went up and quietly asked a few questions. She then came back contently.

Qin Mu Yin asked, “What did you ask?”

Xia Mu Yin said: “I asked him if we could have breakfast with them and the captain said we could cook and use their ingredients.”

Hearing the last part of her sentence, everyone’s eyes brightened.

Su Min didn’t expect the captain to actually let them use it. He was worried that something similar to Xiao Chen from “The Last Supper” would happen again.

Not only putting parts of his body into the food, he used his own hands to stir and didn’t allow anyone to not eat. Even the orphanage director would check to make sure they’ve eaten.

The captain this time was much better.

Song Nan Nan quickly thought of the bugs from last night. She quietly whispered: “I hope the captain’s ingredients are normal………”

Xia Mu Yin also wasn’t certain, “I hope so too.”

Su Min said: “We’ll know when we see it. We can wait and make something at noon. Can any of you cook?”

Song Nan Nan raised her hand: “I can. I can cook. Don’t worry, I’m pretty good. You won’t end up eating anything inedible.”

Su Min didn’t ask for much: “It’s enough if its edible.”

He just didn’t want to eat anything strange. It didn’t matter if it didn’t taste good.

The captain brought out a pot of plain congee and placed it on the table. He then brought out several bowls and even two different pickles.

For the people at sea, this was plenty.

The short-haired woman and man with the buzzcut was very accustomed to this. They quickly filled their own bowls and sat down to eat.

Su Min watched them quietly.

They ate normally and you could even hear the sound of them slurping it down. It sounded very delicious.

Su Min looked back at the pot of plain congee.

Superficially, it looked like the ones you see at home. It was a little thick and you could still see the small individual rice grains.

Qin Mu Yin picked up a bowl, “You guys want some?”

Xia He Yin and Song Nan Nan both wanted a bowl. After all, they didn’t each much last night, so they were very hungry.

Su Min looked at the congee and shook his head: “I’m not hungry.”

Seeing that he wasn’t eating, Su Ying immediately said that she also didn’t want to eat. Her brother after all was an experienced viewer so she would naturally follow his actions.

He was indeed not hungry, and he also had a habit of not eating unclean things. As for the protagonist and the rest of his party, he felt that it would be pointless not letting them eat. If he did so, in a few days they would starve to death.

Freshwater at sea was inherently scarce and difficult to maintain.

While they were having breakfast, Su Min and Su Ying went out to the deck outside to assess the situation.

The weather today wasn’t very good. It was cloudy outside. The seawater was no longer black like last night and was instead a dark blue.
