Chapter 90: Hungry

Zhang ChangHao ran while slashing some zombies. Soon as he got where Hui MengYu is, he felt something was off about him.

He picked him up and walked back to the car.

"What's wrong?" Zhang ChangHao asked. He lean in and pushed Hui MengYu's hair away from his forehead that was blocking his eyes.

"Don't know…" Hui MengYu softly mumbled.

He shouldn't crave for his parents affection, he knew that. But why does he want it so badly? Don't he have his grandpa and little buns?

[host… it's normal for a child to crave family affection, but host has LanLan, Grandpa Hui, Hui ShuFen, Hui ShuHui, Zhang ChangHao and his family! Most importantly! You have me! This awesome system! ヽ(≧◡≦)八(o^ ^o)ノ]

Hui MengYu snuggled against Zhang ChangHao and smiled. 'Eh.'

Zhang ChangHao found that Hui MengYu mood was better. He relaxed and hugged Hui MengYu while lifting his head.

Hui MengYu who wasn't paying any attention had a dumbfounded expression when he head was lifted.

He kissed lightly on Hui MengYu's nose.

He would never understand how Hui MengYu's mood changed so fast every time but he doesn't like it when Hui MengYu feel low.

Everyone is fine, everyone is living happily, we have everything already. Why does he worried so much?

Even if he, don't understand why. What is he worried, why is he in a hurry, it doesn't matter as he as he has him.

Zhang ChangHao gently held Hui Mengyu and older the soldiers to give the woman who has kids some food, to trade for information about that factory.

feeling Hui MengYu snuggled against him made him feel warm, a gentle feeling he never had before...

His heart felt full, everything is fine, as long as he has Hui MengYu by his side.

Zhang ChangHao snuggled back.

There is no need to talk, they can feel what each other wants to say with action.

Hui MengYu water the pot with the water he made.

They settle down on an ancient building that is a bit old after the soldiers clean out the village.. or small town. it was old yes, but it was large and it has many rooms. so they chose this house to stay until they found the factory.

Hui MengYu felt his stomach grumble just as he felt hungry, he went out of the room in search for the kitchen.

As for Zhang ChangHao? he's gone with the soldier to scout the area while trying to find any factory nearby. The woman didn't know where the factory was but she said it could be somewhere south or west as there isn't any factory she knows of in other cardinal directions.

So Hui MengYu as left behind with some soldiers that guard the door.

Hui MengYu found a kitchen, it was an ancient china's style kitchen, it doesn't need electricity to cook. He only need fire wood and a lighter. lucky he has some lighters but he doesn't have any fire wood. Most of the time they gather random things that is flammable and ask a fire ability soldier to light it. Or they directly use the fire that came out from fire ability users.

He could use some wood from broken furniture or from boxes that he use to package things.

Hui Mengyu walk out and ask a solder to find wood planks or just a wooded chair.

he went back and washed his hands with his water. then he took out ingredients to cook fried rice, His left over rice is still okay even though it stayed in the storage for a while, it's because the next day he save the rice as he forgot to eat it before and it'll go bad if you leave it for more then one day.*

*normally people use left over rice to cook fired rice cuz the rice grains will firm up, making it easier to separate and decreasing the chances of your fried rice turning out mushy.

a solder brought some broken wood chair pieces.

He started the fire to boil the wok, it needs to be cleaned at least before he start using it. Afterward he dumped water out and wash his hands. He let the fire to heat up the wok so the water evaporates.

Hui MengYu cut and place all the ingredients on the side for convenience. First he add oil into the wok and garlic after the oil heats up. Soon, he added other vegetables and thin chop up pieces of bacon. he stirs until mostly cooked and add the rice. cooking and mixing them together, he added light soil sauce.

the wok's steamed and made Hui MengYu felt even more hot. Then he look the rice out and mix the eggs while adding new oil, popping sounds where heard when he put in the eggs and fry them. seeing the eggs are mostly cooked, he join the rice mix inside and flip them together. The smell of fried rice filled the kitchen and drift out into the courtyard.

Hui MengYu cooked a few more times and place them in three large soup pot full of fried rice, some Egg drop soup and heated up some spring rolls from a convenient store he took before.

Seeing that Zhang ChangHao came back, Hui MengYu reach out lightly to gather water on his hand and freeze them. Then he put them on his head that was cooking under the steam and sunlight and let them melt.
