Chapter 1550: Rubik’s Cube Beauty (12)
Yin Rui was eating as well. From the expression on his face, it was obvious the food tasted terrible.
Sitting beside him, Yin Xiaofei asked quietly, “Brother, is it good?”
“Delicious.” Yin Rui didn't dare say otherwise. There was a waiter standing right beside him, watching.
Yin Xiaofei immediately understood. “Then I'll have a bowl too.” One bowl earned ten Rubik's Cube Coins, which was even more profitable than answering “happy.”
Tang Guo, however, had no intention of eating. She found an empty seat and sat down, leisurely watching them earn Rubik's Cube Coins through food.
After taking a single bite, Yin Xiaofei spat it out with a cry.
“Oh my god, it's so awful! And you still said it was delicious? Brother, am I really your biological sister?”
Before Yin Rui could answer, the waiter beside them picked up Yin Xiaofei's bowl and said with a smile, “Your qualification to earn Rubik's Cube Coins through eating at the Food Plaza has been revoked.”
Yin Xiaofei: “…”
“Pfft—” Yin Rui burst out laughing. He continued eating happily, looking thoroughly immersed in the experience.
Feeling utterly dejected, Yin Xiaofei sat down next to Tang Guo. “You can actually do that?”
“Fortunately, I'm beautiful. I don't have to work that hard to earn money.” Tang Guo waved the carved wooden folding fan in her hand, smiling with obvious delight.
Yin Xiaofei touched her own face. Being beautiful really was amazing. Just answering one question with “happy” could earn a thousand Rubik's Cube Coins.
“Miss.”
At that moment, an elderly woman with snow-white hair and a cane approached Yin Xiaofei with a kindly smile.
“That food was awful, wasn't it?”
“It really was terrible,” Yin Xiaofei replied.
The old woman reached into the basket she carried and took out a fragrant steamed bun. Having gone two days without eating anything delicious, Yin Xiaofei's eyes lit up instantly.
“Grandma, do you sell buns?”
“No.” The old woman handed the bun to Yin Xiaofei. “Try it. Is it good?”
Yin Xiaofei hesitated.
How could she eat something given by a stranger? What if there was something wrong with it?
But seeing so many people around, she reasoned that no matter how bad the old woman was, she wouldn't dare poison someone right in front of everyone, would she?
More importantly, the bun looked unbelievably delicious.
“Th-then I won't stand on ceremony?” In the end, she couldn't resist the temptation in her stomach. Taking the bun, she devoured it in two bites.
It was absolutely delicious.
Tang Guo made no move to stop her.
When she had entered this world, she had already decided that she would not interfere in any of their affairs.
Whether things turned out well or badly had little to do with her.
Besides, she was playing the role of a clueless newcomer. Being too smart would only arouse suspicion.
Any adult should understand that no matter how good something looked, if it came from a stranger—especially if it was meant to go into one's stomach—it was best not to accept it.
Yin Xiaofei simply couldn't resist the temptation and swallowed it immediately.
Who could she blame?
“Grandma, are you sure you don't sell buns? They're really delicious. Let me buy some. I want to share them with my companions.” Looking at the two Rubik's Cube Coins in her hand, Yin Xiaofei suddenly felt embarrassed. “How much is one bun? There are four people in my group, so I need four.”
“Since you like my buns so much, why not stay and become one of Happiness City's people? Then you could eat such delicious food every day.”
The old woman maintained her benevolent smile.
Yin Xiaofei hurriedly shook her head.
“Although Happiness City is quite nice, I don't want to stay here.”
She wasn't from this place. She had entered to search for medicine, and someday she would leave.
