Daily Warm Feeding, Airi: Chang Yuan, You're a Blockhead.

"So if you're just here to mock me, Airi, then you've succeeded."

Chang Yuan finally rolled his eyes at Airi without any politeness.

"Mhm~? I'm not mocking you. After all, I almost couldn't sleep last night either, thanks to Himiko chatting with me."

Airi hummed and chuckled upon hearing this.

However, she then noticed that Chang Yuan seemed to have become a bit stronger.

"So you were suffering from insomnia last night because you were training?"

"You can tell?"

Chang Yuan looked at his hands, a little confused.

No, he couldn't even tell himself where he had gotten stronger, yet Airi could see it.

Could this be the legendary "strong person detection radar" that only powerful individuals possessed?

"That's not it. I just feel your aura is different from yesterday. But with Velvie's potion yesterday, you should have become stronger."

"Of course. Maybe I'll even surpass you."

"Then we'll have to wait and see. I look forward to the day you surpass me."

Airi smiled at his words.

She didn't believe Chang Yuan could surpass her. It wasn't arrogance, but a statement of fact.

Perhaps because she was naturally special, she already felt terrifyingly strong.

"You don't believe me? Then let's wait and see. I'll definitely show you how amazing I am."

How could Chang Yuan not see the disbelief in Airi's eyes?

After that, Chang Yuan began his daily training.

Until noon, the two went to the Flame-Chasing Moth's cafeteria. They had to admit, the higher-ups were really willing to spend money.

The cafeteria had almost every dish imaginable from all corners of the world, even the Manchu Han Imperial Feast from Schicksal, though that required advance reservation.

After each of them simply got a plate of food, they found a two-person table and sat down.

"Mmm, bitter melon. If you eat it, Chang Yuan, I won't eat it."

"Hey, hey, hey! It's bitter melon stewed with meat. You eat the meat and give me the bitter melon, what's the meaning of this?"

Seeing the pile of bitter melon on his plate, Chang Yuan's mouth twitched.

Good heavens, humans are such strange creatures. They can eat bitter melon stewed with meat, but not bitter melon itself.

Besides, he wasn't Theresa; he didn't have peculiar eating habits. He didn't like bitter melon at all.

"But didn't you say we shouldn't waste food? You told me that when I was little, and you even made me eat green peppers back then."

Blinking her beautiful eyes, Airi stared at Chang Yuan as she spoke.

Chang Yuan was instantly rendered speechless by Airi's words.

Ah, this... he was just trying to tease Airi back then!

Good heavens, were the bullets from years ago finally hitting him?

Wait, that's not right. Back then, he had personally fed it to Airi.

"No, no, no. I was the one feeding you back then, forcing you to eat it. This is completely different."

"Oh? Is that the only reason?"

Upon hearing this, Airi chuckled softly and immediately came up with a countermeasure.

Picking up her chopsticks, she picked up a slice of bitter melon.

Then, she slowly brought it to Chang Yuan's mouth.

"Mhm~? We shouldn't waste food~?."

"...Sigh."

Looking at the bitter melon being offered to his mouth, Chang Yuan knew he had no choice.

Indeed, the bullets from years ago had finally found their mark.

He took a bite, and the bitterness of the bitter melon instantly exploded on his taste buds.

But thinking that Airi had personally fed it to him, the bitterness in his mouth was instantly replaced by sweetness in his heart.

"Hmph~? Does it taste good? No rush~? There's still plenty~?."

Just as Chang Yuan swallowed the first slice of bitter melon, Airi immediately picked up a second slice and brought it to his mouth.

This time, however, she was a little more considerate. At least she was willing to pick up a bit of meat to go with the rice, instead of making him eat plain bitter melon.

Although their actions seemed very intimate, Chang Yuan knew that Airi only saw him as family, as a good friend to joke around with.

After all, Airi had already said so the last time he pretended to be dead.

Therefore, Chang Yuan felt absolutely nothing about this feeding session.

However, all of this was witnessed by a certain red-haired woman.

"Tsk tsk tsk, family? More like a husband."

Himiko clicked her tongue in amazement at the scene.

Last night, Airi had told her that Chang Yuan was just family, but now it seemed... tsk tsk tsk.

"So the only single dog in the end is me, how annoying."

Although she said it was annoying, Himiko's eyes were full of blessings.

After all, she had heard Airi's story about her and Chang Yuan from last night.

The story wasn't particularly thrilling or romantic.

It was simply about a grown boy protecting a young girl, Airi.

The grown boy had accompanied the young girl as she grew, witnessing everything she went through. Wasn't that also romantic?

And besides Himiko, there were those who sent blessings, and naturally, there were also those who were envious.

After all, Airi was too beautiful, too cute, and too lovely. Any normal man who saw her would feel a sense of affection.

So, facing Chang Yuan, who could have such close contact with Airi, everyone wished they could replace him.

"We're finally done eating. Airi, I was wrong. I shouldn't have made you eat food you don't like."

After finishing the bitter melon, Chang Yuan immediately apologized without a second word.

"No~? I don't dislike any food. Or rather, everything we ate together back then was something I liked."

"Ah, this... then it seems we're quite fated."

Seeing that Chang Yuan hadn't understood her meaning at all, Airi lowered her eyes slightly.

This blockhead was truly a blockhead.

Her meaning was clearly that as long as she was with him, she would like whatever they ate.

But Chang Yuan only brought up fate, which made Airi a little speechless.

"Alright, hurry up and eat. After eating, we'll go back for a nap, and then we'll train again. Don't give up halfway~?."

"Got it, got it. You know me, I'm not someone who likes to give up halfway."

Chang Yuan nodded upon hearing this.

To achieve that goal, he couldn't be lazy, nor would he be lazy.

After all, as a certain Erlang Shenjun from Guanjiang Pass once said, people who always think it's okay to be a little lazy will always fall short at crucial moments.

He didn't want to experience something like that. He didn't want Airi to slip through his fingers because of such a thing, and him being unable to hold her hand.

After the meal, Chang Yuan took a simple post-meal stroll and returned to his dormitory to sleep. However, to this day, he still had no roommates.

He was the only one in the entire 6-person dormitory, and he felt a little lonely and desolate.
