Chapter 183 - 16: Abusing the Worthless Father
Shen Chi returned home after more than half a month, with only a few days left before the start of the semester at Capital University.
"Why have you gotten so much darker?" Lin Xiaoguai got quite a shock upon seeing him suddenly.
"It’s nothing." Shen Chi put down his heavy bag and lifted the charging Little Niangao, weighing him and saying, "The climate is different here, I’ll be back to my normal color in a couple of days." He had plenty of experience with this.
Lin Xiaoguai then realized that getting darker isn’t always due to sun exposure. She remembered getting a lot darker on a trip to H Province in her previous life. She was puzzled since she was sure her skin didn’t tan easily, and then she lightened up after a few days once she got back. It was only after her friends mentioned it that she understood.
"Got anything to eat? Fix me something, I’m starved." Shen Chi said pitifully, rubbing his stomach.
"Why didn’t you buy some food on the train?" Since it wasn’t mealtime, Lin Xiaoguai could only prepare some noodles for him, lucky that there was some beef soup in the fridge, which was perfect for making delicious noodles.
"Don’t even mention it," Shen Chi complained as he wolfed down some flaky pastry from the table. "The train only had instant noodles and fast food, not to mention they were expensive and terrible; I’d rather chew on steamed buns. I couldn’t take it after two days."
Shen Chi was quite traditional, only liking rice and meat. He didn’t care for things like instant noodles, eight treasure porridge, or canned goods, which most people nowadays considered nice food.
