Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 438 Noodles Made by Grandma Mu

“Anyway,” Xu Han continued cautiously at He Lingling’s prompting, “we are already friends, Grandma Mu.”

He Lingling's heart was pounding; this time, it was purely out of fright.

Grandma Mu didn't respond, but Mu Tangtang, who was hugging Grandma Mu's waist and acting coquettishly, burst out laughing.

The adorable little girl rubbed against her grandmother's clothes, looked at Xu Han and the other girl, and smiled.

"Oh dear, Grandma, did you hear that?"

Mutangtang said sweetly, "Brother Xu Han and Sister Lingling both said they are Tangtang's friends."

"Tangtang has friends now."

He Lingling and Xu Han: "..."

The two remained silent, simultaneously raising their hands to wipe away cold sweat.

Grandma Mu smiled and patted her granddaughter's head, chuckling as she said:

"Okay, okay, it's good that you're Tangtang's friend, it's good that you're Tangtang's friend..."

"Mmm," Mutangtang smiled, her eyes crinkling as she tilted her chin up, "Tangtang is hungry, she wants noodles."

"oops!"

Grandma Mu instantly perked up, "Grandma forgot! Come on, Tangtang, eat your noodles first, sit down and eat your noodles..."

As she spoke, she pulled Mutangtang along with the noodles and walked towards Xu Han and the other person.

"These noodles won't taste good if they get cold..."

Grandma Mu placed the bowl on the table and picked up her chopsticks to stir the noodles.

"Grandma will stir it for you, so the noodles that have cooled down will be warm again..."

"Yes! Thank you, Grandma!"

Mutangtang sat down on the sofa with a happy expression, obediently waiting while watching Grandma Mu stir the noodles.

Xu Han felt something was off about the two of them, but she refrained from turning her head.

As for He Lingling...

She was a little frustrated because she couldn't see anything right now.

The side effects of suddenly losing her sight were not only that she couldn't see, but more importantly, the changes in the expressions, emotions, and body language of those around her.

Sometimes, emotional changes and body language can reveal hidden emotions that are not usually visible to a person.

"All right."

Grandma Mu pushed the mixed noodles in front of Mu Tangtang and sat down next to her with a smile.

"Eat up, eat it while it's hot, it tastes best when it's hot."

"Uh-huh!"

Mutangtang took the chopsticks, lowered her head, and ate with a satisfied expression.

"..."

Xu Han looked at the bowl of noodles with eggs in front of Mu Tangtang and subconsciously swallowed.

He didn't actually eat much that night... After all, even the sweetest rice without any side dishes is hard to swallow... As for the cake that the staff brought up.

Good heavens, he was almost terrified when he saw the staff member who had been chopped in half and had no arms or legs! How could he possibly dare to eat that cake?

As Xu Han was thinking this, he heard his stomach rumble several times.

He Lingling, standing next to him: "..."

Mutangtang, who was slurping down her noodles in front of her: "...?"

Grandma Mu also looked up and gazed over.

Xu Han: "..."

His cheeks flushed instantly, and he hurriedly explained, "No, no, I'm not hungry, I'm really not hungry, it's just, it's just that my intestines, uh, my stomach is a little upset..."

It would have been even more convincing if Xu Han's stomach hadn't growled when he said that.

Pity.

His stomach kept growling.

In the dim light, Xu Han's face turned even redder.

"Oh?"

Xylitol blinked, feigning curiosity, and said:

"So, Brother Xu Han, why is your stomach still growling?"

Xu Han: "..."

"Because, because, didn't I just say I have a sensitive stomach..."

Xu Han felt increasingly embarrassed as he spoke. Facing the gazes of the three parties, he finally gave up, lowered his head, and said weakly:

"Actually, it's just that I'm a tiny bit, just a tiny bit hungry..."

"..." He Lingling sighed, reached out and patted Xu Han's hand, saying sympathetically:

"Deserved it."

"Who told you not to finish that bowl of rice tonight?"

He Lingling advised Xu Han to finish all the rice, but Xu Han tried several times and still couldn't finish it. Finally, he said with a miserable expression that he really couldn't eat anymore because there were no other dishes...

“…I wanted to too,” Xu Han said, sounding a little aggrieved. “I even wanted to take the leftovers home for dinner, but the hotel staff wouldn’t let me…”

There should be something to eat tomorrow morning.

He Lingling also sensed the grievance in Xu Han's words, and coughed before saying:

"Just bear with it a little longer. Let's check the time. It's been almost two hours since dawn, hasn't it?"

"almost."

Across from me, Mutangtang said with a grin, "In a few more minutes, it will be time for the second break."

Those players in the elevator can probably breathe a sigh of relief for a while now, right?

"Oh, right." After stuffing a mouthful of noodles into her mouth, Mutangtang looked up and mumbled:

"Brother Xu Han, would you like to eat noodles with me? Grandma made a lot."

"...No, I won't."

Xu Han shook his head quickly, enduring the kind yet gloomy gaze of Grandma Mu opposite him.

"I don't really like noodles, Mu, Tangtang, you eat by yourself. Your grandma is right, you're still young and need to eat more to grow."

Even if Mutangtang really let him eat it, he wouldn't dare... That bowl of noodles looked pretty normal, but after all, it was made by Grandma Mu, who carried so many severed limbs, and it was made in a hotel restaurant kitchen... Who knows, who knows if, might have added some strange stuff to it...

Xu Han admitted that he thought the worst of others, but that was normal, wasn't it? He was just a coward... Besides, Grandma Mu seemed rather strange now.

Thinking of this, Xu Han gripped He Lingling's hand tightly, mustered his courage, and looked up to meet Grandma Mu's gaze.

He Lingling: "..."

Why did you suddenly grab my hand? Are you getting revenge?

Grandma Mu looked at him gently, and didn't forget to ask with a smile:

"If I'm really hungry, I'll go to the kitchen and make another bowl of noodles now—"

"No need, no need, you just need to rest! You just need to rest!"

Xu Han shuddered as he looked at the twisted, severed limbs behind Grandma Mu, and dared not continue talking to Mu Tangtang and her granddaughter.

When will it get light?!

Xu Han was inwardly groaning, while constantly rubbing his rumbling stomach in exasperation.

Shout, shout, shout!!! All you do is yell!!! Why didn't you eat that big bowl of rice properly at dinner?!

What's the point of calling it that now?!

------------

The next second after the illusion ended.

"call--"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! My arms! My legs!!!"

"Help! Help! I don't want to die!!!"

"..."

When Yu Shijiu regained consciousness, he was bombarded with countless screams of terror, which made him frown involuntarily.
