Chapter 266 Instant Noodles (1/2)
Kyle and Xing Han decided to take it easy for the day to read up the reports on the two restaurants that they were to check out. It was already 8pm and were enjoying the peace and quiet.
Unlike the commotion in the last place, they managed to arrive, leave the airport and reach the hotel easily. It wasn't just because they were still in disguise, but by the fact that Kay had successfully brought down the website 'Sightings of Kyle'.
For preventive measures, she had also placed a few thousand focused crawlers* online to specifically target any sites that had such a function. Kay had also dispensed with the 'politeness' policy, which essentially would have made the crawler be 'polite' and not overload the website. The point of the focused crawler was to bring down the website, so Kay wanted the crawler to do so.
Lucka and the others had also gone back to whatever they were doing. They had dispensed with their disguises and split up at the airport as they went on to their separate destinations and missions.Xing Han was a little sad to see the handsome him change back to Lucka, though he did take several pictures together with him for memories sake.
While Xing Han was going through the company files, Kyle was actually flipping through the information on Sayuri. He already knew about the companies so he didn't bother with them at the moment. What was more interesting was that little tail of theirs.
'Sayuri Hinata. Birthday, 2 August XXXX, making her 14 next year. An only child and sole heir of Hinata Companies. Parents died in an accident when she was 5 years old. Raised by grandparents, unmarried uncle is her guardian and current CEO,' Kyle mumbled to himself.
The files also had details of her school life and achievements. Elite school, top-of-the class etc. Obviously, one of those high-achievers, like him. There were no details about her martial arts and her need to follow him, which only pointed to one possibility.
The Hinata Family must be part of the hidden Ninja Clan.
Kay would not be able to obtain any details of that anywhere, so the only person he could ask would be Master Shifu. At that moment, Kyle started thinking of that ninja girl he had met from the previous mission. Could they be the same person?
Kyle brushed it aside. It couldn't be. It would have been too much of a coincidence.
As Kyle put down the files, he noted that Xing Han at his laptop, doing some work. Kyle was beginning to feel a bit hungry, so he decided to check out what could be in the fridge.
”Hey, Kyle,” Xing Han said as he was busy typing away at his laptop.
”Hmmm?” Kyle responded, his head buried in the fridge at the kitchenette.
The possibility of there being food was slim as he never left instructions for it to be stocked. So all he saw were the usual overloaed-with-sugar soft drinks, unable-to-drink alcohol and not-desirable chocolates.
If only there were some instant noodles, he'd scoff them down in an instant. The tom yam flavour would go down so well right now. Add in some chopped vegetables and ... his mouth was already watering thinking about it.
Or maybe curry? With an egg added. Perhaps even Country I's instant fried noodles or that really spicy flavour from Country K to explode your head. All sorts of variety and flavours of those instant noodles that he would eat so often in his past life just filled his head.
Kyle shook his head.
Focus. Focus. Healthy eating ... my body is my temple, it must be filled with good things. Only good things. His eyes glazed over as he remembered how good that piping hot instant noodles were. He swallowed his saliva again.
Even the Rock had cheat days, right?!
Since his reincarnation, Kyle had been determined to live life to the fullest - in the sense of being the best and always doing the best. It wasn't just working hard in his studies and learning things, but it also included being fit and eating well.
However, there were times when the 'old Kylie reared its head and wanted junk food. Instant noodles were one of them. Comfort food, it was. The cravings rose again.
”KYLE!” Xing Han finally shouted, miffed, ”Are you even listening to me?!”
Xing Han was miffed. How could his BFF be so engrossed with looking into a fridge that he couldn't even hear him??
He stomped over to Kyle, who now closed the fridge door.
”I seriously need some instant noodles,” Kyle said, his eyes looking so sad and pitiful that the anger in Xing Han just melted.
Xing Han rolled his eyes, sighed loudly and said, ”It's one of those days, huh?”
Kyle nodded.
Xing Han then laughed, slapping Kyle on the shoulder.
”Alright, come on,” Xing Han said indulgently, ”Let's go. Remember. Only two flavours. That's it.”
Kyle put up four fingers and Xing Han shook his head, ”Two.”
Kyle gave his puppy eyes to Xing Han. Xing Han narrowed his eyes, put his hands on Kyle's cheeks and brought his face close, staring right into his eyes.
”Two. T.w.o. TWO,” he repeated firmly.
