Chapter 974: Eating Ferociously!

Eating Ferociously!

Lin Yi had an irresistible sensation of both crying and laughing.

Lin Yi could only blame it all on coincidence. Staring at the person across from him, was the happy Feng Xiaoxiao. Lin Yi hand signaled the waiter “Waiter, can you bring another bowl over”

“That isn’t a problem, sir…” the waiter cleaned up the broken bowl pieces on the floor and brought back a new bowl.

“What do you need an empty bowl for?” Feng Xiaoxiao continued to smile.

“I wanted to share half the beef noodles with you,” Lin Yi used his chopsticks to move pieces of beef brisket and noodles onto the empty bowl.

“…” Feng Xiaoxiao glared at Lin Yi, her eyes started tearing up. She almost cried. She finally got the opportunity to share a meal with Lin Yi, she was so happy, but it was all ruined by an empty bowl!

Lin Yi didn’t bother with her feelings, he started digging into his own bowl and enjoying his meal.

Feng Xiaoxiao plunged her chopsticks in the bowl, she chewed like she had to take revenge on the beef. Each bite was like a wolf tearing away at the meat. Then she scarfed down the noodles into her mouth…

“Oh you are this hungry? Would you want another bowl?” Lin Yi asked.

“No need!” Feng Xiaoxiao shook her head. She had a hateful grieving look. “I will never eat with you again, you bullied me!”

“Ah…” Lin Yi looked at Feng Xiaoxiao, he felt uncomfortable. Feng Xiaoxiao tidied up after herself, even if Lin Yi felt like it was the appropriate thing to do, but he felt the pain that Feng Xiaoxiao had suffered a great injustice. He wanted to speak up but held his tongue. He ended up sighing.

Feng Xiaoxiao saw that Lin Yi wasn’t talking, so she continued to finish her meal. She acted as if the noodles were Lin Yi’s tendon, the beef was Lin Yi’s meat. She would chew ferociously at it, even if it meant hurting her own gums and teeth.

Lin Yi didn’t take long to finish half a bowl of noodles. Feng Xiaoxiao was almost done with her bowl too.

“Finished? Shall we return to school?” Lin Yi saw that Feng Xiaoxiao had put down her chopsticks, then he asked.

“Let’s go!” Feng Xiaoxiao coldly replied. It sounded like she was still angry.

“Ah…” Lin Yi tried to laugh it off, but he didn’t bother with her temper. Her temper would go away if left alone for a while.

As they stood up, they were about to leave when a cry of an anxious voice came from behind them!

“Mom, what’s wrong? How come you fainted…”

Chen Xi and her mother were eating too, but their mood wasn’t as good as before. They were heavy-hearted, but it was due to their encounter with Feng Xiaoxiao that they had resolved their hearts to leave. It was slightly disrespectful, but Feng Xiaoxiao did so with good intentions!

So as the mother-daughter pair were about to finish their meal too, they wanted to sneakily give Feng Xiaoxiao 15 yuan! They weren’t the type of people to accept money from others for no reason. Even if they were poor, they relied on their hard labor to earn money. They would gather recyclables at the beach and city corners, even if it was trivial amounts of cash, it was all through honest work.

Right before Chen Xi and her mother were about to finish the beef noodles, Chen Xi’s mother collapsed on the table. This made Chen Xi panic. Her mother was sick, but she had never fainted before. She would know because they would go together to the hospital!

“Hurry, call the emergency line!” the experienced waiter quickly suggested.

“Okay!” Chen Xi nodded. “Can someone lend me their phone…”

She didn’t have a phone. Even if the phone wasn’t expensive, the monthly fees weren’t something they can afford.

“Use mine!” Feng Xiaoxiao couldn’t stay angry with Lin Yi. She handed her phone over to Chen Xi.

As she watched Chen Xi, she remembered her own teen years of being alone without her mother. It was so sad and lonely.

“No need to call, even if you send her to the hospital it is pointless. No need to waste that money,” Lin Yi looked at Chen Xi’s mother and faintly spoke up.

Chen Xi’s mother’s vitality was rapidly disappearing, from a medical standpoint, it was beyond saving.

“What!” Chen Xi was crying as she overheard. She held up her mother and cried louder. Today was her 16th birthday, she knew that her mother will soon depart her, but she didn’t think it was so soon!

Before her mother had fainted, she still had hope that her mother would wake up and recover at the hospital. But with Lin Yi’s harsh truth, it was like a pan of cold water that woke her up and destroyed her hopes…

She lost all hope, she didn’t know what else to do. She continued to cry while hugging her mother. This was the only way she knew how to share her sadness.

“Who are you to determine that? How can you say that?” The waiter was dissatisfied with Lin Yi’s words. “Who are you to determine someone’s well being from a single word look?”

Lin Yi glanced over at the waiter. The waiter spoke up because he had a good heart. Lin Yi didn’t have any grudges or look down at the mother-daughter, so he didn’t feel offended. It was the truth, so why would he bicker with the waiter?

When he saw Lin Yi looked over, he suddenly remembered that this was the person who had driven away the local gangsters. He was afraid that he would get hurt from speaking up. Taken back a bit, he insisted on calling for emergency services, “don’t listen to him, send her to the hospital! I’ll call the emergency services!”

“Lin Yi, can she not be saved?” Feng Xiaoxiao knew that Lin Yi had superior medical skills since he had saved her before. She had to ask again if it was true.

This was when Lin Yi placed his hand on Chen Xi’s mother’s wrist. He looked at Feng Xiaoxiao and said: “liver cancer late stages, what do you think the hospital can do for that?”

“That…” Feng Xiaoxiao was depressed. Cancer. Even with today’s technology, when they hear the terms ‘cancer’ it was like a death sentence!

“Ahhh!” Chen Xi was in shock. Her eyes widen as she stared back at Lin Yi!

“Don’t listen to him! The moment he opens his mouth, it is about someone having cancer. That is not possible.” The waiter didn’t trust Lin Yi’s judgement. How could anyone pass judgement so fast. “You were just helping them out before, why are you like this now?”
