Chapter 20 Chewing, chewing, chewing—who she likes is her business.
I'm awake.
Chen Feng stared at the ceiling, his stomach starting to rumble.
I'm hungry.
What should we eat for lunch?
After pondering this profound question in bed for half an hour, he decided to get up and see if there was anything to eat on the Hyperion.
If all else fails, ask Himeko; she'll definitely know what to eat.
They could just pack up and go.
After Chen Feng got up, he went to the bridge to find Himeko.
Himeko was still on the bridge when she heard a noise behind her. She turned around and was surprised to see Chen Feng.
"How did you know where I was?"
Chen Feng shrugged. "Even if I don't know, can't I ask?"
Himeko chuckled upon hearing this.
makes sense.
"Alright, I was originally planning to have you come see me this afternoon, but I didn't expect you to come so early. Is there something you need?"
At this point, Chen Feng's expression became unusually serious.
Himeko couldn't help but be curious about what he wanted to ask.
Chen Feng slowly spoke under Ji Zi's curious gaze.
"I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"
After hearing this, Himeko fell silent.
Even she hadn't expected that the first question the other party asked wouldn't be about the Herrscher of Honkai, St. Freya, but rather what they wanted to eat.
Himeko resigned herself to her fate and took him to a restaurant for a meal.
She sat opposite Chen Feng, watching him eat, and said helplessly, resting her chin on her hand.
"I thought you were going to ask something more meaningful, but it turns out you're just hungry and looking for food."
Chen Feng chewed, then raised an eyebrow at Ji Zi, his meaning quite clear.
Does the question of eating have no meaning at all?
Himeko couldn't help but chuckle when she saw the questioning look on the other person's face.
"Alright, since you're already here, I'll tell you what to do next. You can just pass it on to the three of them. After all, I can tell you that you're the backbone among them."
Tsk tsk tsk, you're pretty good, kid. Those three guys were looking at you differently. Maybe if you put in the effort, you can take down all three of them.
Anyway, there aren't any clear-cut rules about marriage these days, so there's no harm in giving it a try.
While Himeko was saying these words, Kiana arrived at the restaurant. She originally wanted to say hello, but after hearing these words, she couldn't help but hide and secretly start watching from behind.
Kiana, seeing this, also became curious.
So, Teacher Himeko said these things to Chen Feng before?
She didn't know any of this, so she quietly started listening.
Chen Feng looked at Ji Zi with a strange expression.
After swallowing what was in his mouth, he finally spoke, "What are you saying?"
"What, don't you feel anything for those three beautiful girls? That can't be right, they're so young and already..."
"Cough cough cough."
Chen Feng was taken aback by Ji Zi's words. After coughing a few times, he looked at Ji Zi with a shocked expression.
"Himeko-sensei, I strongly suspect you're slandering me!"
Himeko pouted. "What, with three beautiful girls around you, don't you like any of them?"
Mei and Bronya also heard this sentence after they arrived at the restaurant.
The two were taken aback upon hearing this. Kiana quickly pulled them over, shushed them, and continued eavesdropping.
You know what, she was actually quite curious about how Chen Feng viewed them.
After all, Himeko-sensei is right, I am a genuine beautiful girl!
I refuse to believe that with my charm, he wouldn't have any feelings for me.
Sigh, sometimes being too outstanding isn't a good thing.
The others noticed Kiana's narcissistic expression, and the three from the future all fell silent.
[Mei]: "So Kiana is this narcissistic at times like this?"
[Bronya]: "Kiana is still such an idiot at this point; she doesn't get nicknames wrong, she just gets names wrong."
Kiana: "...Luckily no one saw it, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed I wanted to disappear into the ground."
After the little incident, three people... no, six people secretly eavesdropped on their conversation.
They were genuinely curious about who Chen Feng liked.
After wiping his mouth, Chen Feng remained silent for a moment upon hearing Ji Zi's words.
Everyone quietly tensed up, and Himeko watched the other person with great interest, wondering what kind of answer they would give.
After a moment, he looked at Himeko seriously and then spoke.
"Could I have another serving? I'm still hungry."
Himeko immediately covered her face.
The people eavesdropping in the corner fell silent.
I was just getting tense, and then you did this – it's really frustrating!
【Mei】: "This really is... his style."
Kiana scratched her head, puzzled.
"So this guy isn't a quiet type after all. I thought he was a man who didn't like to talk much."
Kiana smiled gently and then began to explain.
"Isn't the environment safe now? Of course we can relax a bit. Besides, if he were really boring, how do you think we got along so well with him later?"
"After all, even the class monitor was made to laugh by him."
Himeko, speechless, personally served him another bowl of rice and continued, "Come on, keep talking. I really want to know. After all, who doesn't like gossip?"
Chen Feng spoke indifferently.
"Actually, this is a very boring question."
"Oh?"
"I've only known them for a few months, the longest being just over half a year. How can you fall in love with someone after such a short time? If you fall in love with someone in such a short time, that's called lust at first sight."
Besides, given my age, I don't want to waste my prime years in prison.
Himeko was somewhat surprised to hear these words.
I never expected that the other party would think that way.
She thought that the other person would at least like one of them.
For example, Raiden Mei.
Even an outsider could see the way that little girl looked at him; couldn't this child see it?
"Don't you like Raiden Mei? You should be able to notice the look in her eyes, right?"
When Mei heard Himeko suddenly call her name, her delicate body stiffened, and she tensed up.
The people around her also turned their attention to Mei.
Mei felt slightly embarrassed. Was she really that obvious back then?
I didn't expect that Ms. Himeko would notice it at first glance.
"Raiden Mei?"
Chen Feng chewed and tilted his head to look at Ji Zi.
"Of course I can notice, but what does that have to do with me?"
If she likes it, so be it. Who she likes is her business. I have a lot of things to do and I'm not in the mood for these romantic relationships right now.
Moreover, you must know something about her situation, and it will take a lot of effort to help her get out of her current predicament completely.
Let's talk about feelings after all this is over.
Besides, Mei's cooking is really delicious.
Raiden Mei, who was in the corner, felt her heart skip a beat when she heard the first sentence.
My hands and feet were ice cold, my eyes were sore, and I stood frozen in place.
But when those last words reached her ears, she suddenly felt that she wasn't so bad anymore.
The food is delicious... that's a compliment, isn't it?
Moreover, his meaning was more like doing everything first and then considering it, rather than a direct rejection.
Thinking of this, Raiden Mei quietly breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing the inexplicable tension in her heart.
...That scared me to death.
