Chapter 206: Delicious
Meanwhile in the cafeteria, all the school’s students gathered.
If this were any other school, hundreds of boys gathered together would have been a rowdy and noisy mess.
But here...
Not a single person made a sound, and the atmosphere was so quiet it seemed they could hear their breathing.
Nobody spoke with any expression, displaying the same numb and mechanical expression of a zombie.
It was unimaginably depressing.
Even more so, it was hard to imagine what kind of methods were used for these kids to ‘obey’ to such a degree.
Only...
The meal chute opened and the rich aroma of warm food spread through the atmosphere...
Instinctively, they began to hunger for the source of the smell.

Three vegetable dumplings...
Tomato fried egg...
Braised beef and potatoes...
Eggplant and brisket...
Vinegar stir-fried lettuce...
Cucumber stir-fried with pig intestines...
These were all very common canteen dishes, but they exuded a very rare and overwhelming delight.
Everyone’s immediately thought was: hunger.
The devil-like chefs that worked the cafeteria on weekdays had disappeared and were replaced by Rong Huai and his buddies.
The boy uncomfortably banged on the end of a basin with a spoon, calling out: “Meal time, meal time! Grab your plates and line up!”
Nobody dared move, scared that this was a dream.
The group of kids eagerly stared at the food like stray dogs but did not dare to eat, hiding in the dark and dirty corners, afraid of approaching.
In the live stream:
——[At this age, I can’t watch these scenes; the tears won’t stop]
——[Ahh, please eat! Everyone has to eat at least two bowls, okay!!]
——[How did you get kids to be more obedient than dogs? They’ve achieved their goal and succeeded, but their victory is the sorrow of these children]
Finally, someone couldn’t help it and slowly took the first step approaching the cafeteria window.
Rong Huai unconsciously squeezed the spoon handle, feeling like a protagonist in a comic series who was tasked with the mission of saving the world.
“What do you want to eat?” He asked rudely, yet, he was generous with distributing the dishes. Every dish was scooped fully as if he was afraid these kids would not be full.
Once the first kid had stepped up, a second one lined up right after.
The line grew long.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfterward, the first child to receive his meal took a bite of the dish, carefully placing it in his mouth, his eyes instantly widening..
It had a warm... and cooked... and delicious...
Taste.
He was stunned for ten seconds before burying his face in his bowl and frantically began to eat as tears flowed down his cheeks.
More and more children began to frantically wolf down their food, all looking incredibly satiated as if they’d just eaten the most precious thing on earth.
Li Jianyu didn’t understand at first. He had tasted the food, and despite Yi mei’s incredible cooking, there was not much room for culinary advancement in just one large wok. This meal by comparison was nowhere near what she usually cooked.
Xiang Li could see his doubts as he nudged his silver-framed glasses and lowered his voice. “The best seasoning in the world is hunger.”
“...” Immediately, Li Jianyu understood why Yi mei had insisted on cooking for these children.
Because...
They were really hungry.
He turned away and sniffed.
“F*ck... These scumbags!”
After serving the last bowl of soup, Rong Huai was so exhausted he could hardly raise his arms. However, when he saw Xiang Yi approaching, Rong Huai immediately straightened his back and resumed his cool demeanor.
The next second, a warm and fragrant steamed bun was stuffed into his mouth, accompanied by a gentle and soft voice.
“You’ve worked hard, go eat.”
