Chapter 521 Sorry, there's not a single drop left!
Meanwhile, the three people who were having a meal and chatting soon noticed the approaching figure.
A-Que and A-Ying looked up at the same time, their eyes filled with surprise and a hint of curiosity in their hearts, wanting to see what this generous human was going to do.
Su Wan also raised her cool eyes and looked quietly at Lin Feng. Her expression remained unchanged, but a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes as she waited for his next move.
Lin Feng walked to the table, raised his hand and scooped up a plump, round green coconut in his palm.
The coconut shell is bright green, covered with fresh natural fruit bloom, and exudes a light, sweet fruity aroma.
Su Wan's pupils brightened slightly, her throat bobbed involuntarily, and saliva welled up in her mouth, as if it were a conditioned reflex etched into her instincts.
Under the astonished gazes of the three, Lin Feng gently placed the coconut on Su Wan's table, then took out a small coconut opener.
With a flick of his wrist, he aimed the tip of the tool at the soft area at the top of the coconut shell, and with a swift piercing and twisting motion, he steadily chiseled out a neat, round hole.
He then disassembled a separately sealed straw and carefully inserted the straw into the hole.
After doing all this, he looked at Su Wan and said:
"Section Chief Su, the cafeteria food is a bit greasy and heavy. Coconut juice is refreshing and helps to cut through the richness. Here, have some for you."
Su Wan was slightly taken aback, but joy quickly spread across her face. However, upon noticing her two subordinates opposite her and remembering her earlier admonition to distance themselves from the Chosen One, she quickly composed herself, coughed lightly, and said in a deliberately serious tone:
"You're quite casual; giving a gift so rashly in public is rather inappropriate!"
Lin Feng smiled calmly: "Section Chief Su is naturally beautiful. The food in the canteen is greasy and heavy, which will inevitably affect her complexion and make her feel tired."
"You are the supervisor in charge of overseeing us. Only when you are in good condition can you perform your duties with peace of mind. I am doing this for the sake of all the Chosen Ones."
"Please, Section Chief Su, put the overall situation first and drink this coconut."
When praised for her "natural beauty" in public, Su Wan's cheeks flushed slightly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
Glancing at her two subordinates beside her, she suddenly snapped out of her reverie, cleared her throat, and said in a feigned calm tone:
"You're quite thoughtful. We'll have to arrange accommodations for you later, so you really need to keep a clear head."
"Then I'll gladly accept this coconut juice."
[Ding! Su Wan's favorability +5]
Current favorability rating: 30/100
As she spoke, Su Wan pinched the straw and took a small sip.
The coconut juice was sweet and refreshing, and her eyebrows relaxed, as if even the stuffy air in the cafeteria felt a bit lighter.
Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled slightly and turned to leave.
"Hey—don't go!"
Ah Ying and Ah Que shouted out almost simultaneously.
"And what about the two of us! Our food was also very oily!" Ah Ying added.
Lin Feng paused, his gaze naturally turning to Su Wan.
Su Wan didn't say anything, but pursed her lips slightly.
His expression was indifferent, but his meaning was clear—he didn't want these two girls to receive the same treatment as him.
Lin Feng understood immediately and, without saying anything more, casually took out two bottles of soda water from his personal space and placed them in front of Aying and Aque respectively.
"Sorry, there's only one coconut. This soda water will help cut through the richness."
Ah Ying's eyes lit up, and she immediately scooped up the soda water with both hands, beaming with joy:
"Thank you! My name is Ying, I'm 1.68 meters tall, and my weight... well, it can vary!"
"My hobby is reading novels, especially those that blend romance and mystery elements set in the human world. We can discuss that sometime!"
A-Que also took it and, not to be outdone, introduced herself:
"My name is A-Que, I am 1.65 meters tall, and my zodiac sign is Cancer."
"Don't let my job as a security guard fool you, I'm actually incredibly gentle and virtuous. I'm skilled at everything from cooking and laundry to folding blankets..."
"Alright, alright," Su Wan finally couldn't take it anymore and interrupted coldly, "Are you two going on a blind date?!"
Aying and Aque both shrank their necks and obediently shut their mouths.
Su Wan turned to Lin Feng: "Thanks, you can go back to your seat now."
Lin Feng nodded and gave Su Wan a deep look.
His gaze seemed to have warmth as it fell on Su Wan's face, making her ears feel slightly hot.
Su Wan felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't look away and just stared at him quietly for a moment.
The moment Lin Feng turned around, a figure silently brushed past him.
It was a patient wearing a tattered hospital gown, covered in dark brown old stains. He walked stiffly, like a puppet being led by strings.
[Rule 7: Patients wearing tattered hospital gowns in the cafeteria are high-risk sources of contamination; please maintain a distance of at least 5 meters.]
If you accidentally come into close contact with the substance, you can ask the staff at the window for saline solution to relieve the discomfort.
Lin Feng's resistance to pollution far surpasses that of ordinary people, but that cold, alien feeling still pierced his senses like a fine needle.
He quickly glanced at the food serving window.
The five windows set up for the chosen ones of humanity were completely empty, with not a single staff member behind them.
Clearly, they had finished their work and were off duty.
In the vast cafeteria, only the eerie creature with a pig's head and a human body remained quietly standing behind the "Hungry Ghost Dishes" window, its turbid eyes seemingly gazing into the distance.
Should I just ask them for saline solution?
Lin Feng quickly changed his mind and immediately rejected the idea.
It seems that before it even got the salt water, it became its "food" first.
He was hesitating about whether to use the rule exemption to weather this storm when Su Wan suddenly stood up.
"Wait here for a moment." Her tone was calm, yet left no room for argument.
Before Lin Feng could speak, she had already strode towards the [Hungry Ghost Dishes] window.
The moment the pig-headed, human-bodied staff member saw Su Wan, an almost fawning, obsequious expression appeared on his ugly face, and even his murky eyes seemed to brighten slightly.
Su Wan said naturally, "Could you do me a favor and give me a bowl of salt water?"
The pig-faced man nodded repeatedly and turned around to start operating the machine.
Soon, a bowl of salt water was respectfully handed out.
Su Wan took it, turned around and quickly walked back to the dining table, handing the salt water to Lin Feng: "Drink it."
Without saying a word, Lin Feng picked up the bowl and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls.
"Thank you, Section Chief Su." He put down his bowl, his tone sincere.
"You're welcome. You only triggered the rule because you were bringing me coconuts. Go back to your seat."
Lin Feng nodded, turned around, and quickly left.
After the three women sat down again, Ah Ying trailed off, her eyes crinkling with a smile:
"Sister Wan seems to care a lot about this Lin Feng."
"Yes, yes, she even went to get him saline solution," A-Que chimed in.
Su Wan rolled her eyes at them: "It's just returning a favor to him, don't overthink it, drink yours."
After a few seconds of silence, A-Que suddenly looked up and asked, "Sister Wan, is the coconut juice delicious?"
Su Wan parted her lips from the straw, her tone indifferent: "It's alright, not even as good as your soda water."
Ah Ying said with a grin, "I don't believe it, Sister Wan, can I have a taste too?"
Su Wan glanced at her, then slurped up the entire coconut's juice in one gulp, and shrugged:
"Sorry, there's not a drop left!"
