Chapter 24: An astonishing appetite?
On the way back to the dormitory, Chu Qiuchi walked with light steps and confirmed with Ji Moyu again: "Little Fish, let's go to alchemy class together tomorrow morning. Don't forget to wait for me."
Ji Moyu nodded slightly, "Mm."
Seeing this, Chu Qiuchi's smile became even more smug: "Okay, then let's meet in the cafeteria early tomorrow, have breakfast together, and then go to class together."
Ji Moyu didn't say much, but continued walking. He was still a little uncomfortable with Chu Qiuchi's enthusiasm, but since he had already said what he wanted, he could only agree.
As soon as Chu Qiuchi returned to her room, she excitedly jumped onto the bed and rolled around, clearly overjoyed.
Seeing her so excited, Long Yueze, who had been silently sitting on her wrist for a while, couldn't help but tease her, "What's so exciting? I'm not bad looking either, and I haven't seen you get that excited. By the way, your human classes are so boring, not fun at all."
Upon hearing Long Yueze's words, Chu Qiuchi carefully looked him up and down, shook her head, and said with a hint of regret, "You are indeed very good-looking, even more alluring than me. Tsk tsk, I can't compete with your charm. This kind of aloof, icy beauty is much more attractive."
As she spoke, she sat up in bed and made a face at the little dragon on her wrist. "If you don't find it fun, then don't go next time. Just stay home and recover from your injury."
Long Yueze was taken aback by Chu Qiuchi's words, then retorted defiantly, "Hmph, what do you know! In our Moon-Treading Spirit Dragon Clan, I'm very popular. You really don't know anything about food. What's so good about that ice? I think you're just jealous that I'm better looking than you!"
He paused, then changed the subject: "Little sister, you're so young and your mind is full of nonsense. I'm not necessarily following you around, but I'm keeping a close eye on you so you don't go astray."
Chu Qiuchi scoffed at Long Yueze's words. She raised her chin and said confidently, "Come on, go ahead and follow me if you want! Pshaw, I'm not jealous of you! I'll show you my personal charm later and see how I win over this ice-cold lotus, Xiaoyuer! Hmph, this 'fish' will end up in my pond sooner or later!"
"Alright, I'm done joking around with you. I need to focus on my cultivation now. You should go to the next room and rest and recover. Don't bother me here."
Long Yueze gave a soft snort, "Then I'll have to open my eyes wide and see how you get pricked by this ice lump! Alright, I won't bother you anymore, I'm going next door to heal my injuries, you should focus on your cultivation."
He lightly jumped off Chu Qiuchi's wrist and slowly moved towards the next room.
After Long Yueze entered the next room, Chu Qiuchi closed the door and immediately immersed herself in intense cultivation. Time passed quietly during her cultivation, seemingly without any meaning.
After an unknown amount of time, Long Yueze, who was almost crying from hunger next door, finally couldn't resist and started searching for food in the house while wearing Chu Qiuchi's pajamas.
Chu Qiuchi, who was inside the room, was gradually disturbed by the commotion outside. He came out of his meditative state and slowly opened his eyes.
She glanced at the time on the wall and realized that she had been cultivating for quite some time; no wonder her stomach had begun to protest.
She got up, opened the door and went out, and immediately saw Long Yueze, wearing her pajamas, happily eating snacks.
"Hahahaha, Long Yueze, you look so cute in this outfit, hahaha."
At this moment, Long Yueze, wearing Chu Qiuchi's clothes, looked particularly comical—the clothes were obviously too small for him, with a large part of his arms and legs showing, like an adult mistakenly wearing a child's clothes.
Hearing Chu Qiuchi's laughter, Long Yueze looked up at her, a helpless expression on his face: "Stop laughing, I'm starving." His mouth was full of food, and his speech was a little slurred.
"Hahaha, okay, hahahaha, I'm not laughing anymore. My bad, I forgot to prepare food for you. I'm hungry too, I'll go to the restaurant and buy some food. Do you want anything to eat? Or would you like to go out with me?"
The food in Long Yueze's mouth made it difficult for him to answer immediately. He could only nod, indicating that he was willing to go out with Chu Qiuchi. A hint of anticipation and curiosity appeared in his eyes. After all, as a beastman, everything about the human race was new and exciting to him.
"Alright, let's go to the restaurant together. Give me a hint if you see anything you want to eat, and bring it up!"
As Chu Qiuchi spoke, she extended her wrist, signaling Long Yueze to transform back into a little dragon and wrap himself around her. Long Yueze understood immediately and quickly wrapped himself around Chu Qiuchi's wrist, hiding it in her sleeve.
Chu Qiuchi straightened her clothes, making sure Long Yueze was hidden securely, then stepped out and headed towards the restaurant. Passing Ji Moyu's room, she hesitated for a moment, but ultimately knocked on the door.
"Who?"
Ji Moyu's voice came from behind the door.
"Little Fish, it's me! Have you had dinner yet? I'm on my way to the restaurant, want to come along? Or can I bring you something?"
Ji Moyu opened the door, glanced at Chu Qiuchi standing at the door, and said calmly, "No need, I've already eaten."
Chu Qiuchi immediately put on a mournful look: "Little Fish, why didn't you call me for dinner? Aren't we good friends, besties, teammates, and brothers...?"
As she was getting into the conversation, she suddenly heard Ji Moyu's clear voice.
"next time."
"Huh? What next time? You mean you'll wait for me to have dinner together next time?"
Chu Qiuchi immediately pressed for more information, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Ji Moyu nodded slightly, "Mm!"
Seeing this, Chu Qiuchi suppressed a smile and said in a seemingly generous manner, "Alright then, since you're so understanding, I'll reluctantly forgive you this time."
"See you next time, bye-bye!"
Ji Moyu nodded slightly and said softly, "Okay!"
Chu Qiuchi turned around, a smile finally blooming on her face. She walked briskly towards the restaurant, the little dragon on her wrist seeming to sense her joy, twitching slightly. Upon arriving at the restaurant, the two of them began their shopping spree, preparing to pack up the food to take home.
When it came time to pay, the restaurant auntie looked at the huge pile of food Chu Qiuchi had selected and hesitantly reminded him, "Child, are you sure you can finish all of this? The academy doesn't allow food waste!"
Chu Qiuchi felt Long Yueze's signal on her wrist and helplessly assured the aunt, "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely finish it and won't waste any!"
Seeing the determination in Chu Qiuchi's eyes, the auntie finally packed up the food for her. Chu Qiuchi left the restaurant with a large bag of food and headed straight for her dormitory. But she didn't know that from that night on, legends about her astonishing appetite began to circulate throughout the restaurant.
