Chapter 36

(Hmm shrimp, beef, chicken... So hard to pick just a single flavor. Maybe I should buy one of each?)

(This man, does he seriously intend to...?)

Having picked up Tian Cheng from the yacht, the two are currently in one of the many aisles of the supermarket.

"...Master, your contemplating expression—about how you want your meal to taste like for next month, tells me that instant ramen is the basis of your daily nutrition."

There was a subtle hint of dismay in Tian Cheng's tone, as she looks to Long Hua—who is staring intently at the boxes of instant ramen that are lined up in front of him.

"Instant ramen is nice. They're quick and easy to prepare, and their soup goes well with anything. Canned meat can just be tossed into them for additional flavoring if desired, what's there to not like about them? If you're even lazier with preparations, you can also just eat it as is out of the package."

There was something about this view on instant ramen—that gave off the impression that the individual is strict on practicality over all else.

(...I wouldn't care about the way he handles his meals normally—however, there is the saying that the best way to break down a man's defense is through his stomach. Well, it's not like I'm the one actually making the meals—I'll just have my vessel put in a bit more effort.)

With a frown, Tian Cheng goes on to say—

"Having them occasionally is fine, but having them all the time... It's not a very desirable diet. Master mentioned how you would toss canned meat into the soup, has the thought of cutting them up never crossed your mind?"

"They fit in the pot just fine as is, and you can easily pick up a block with a pair of chopsticks; hence I never saw the need to do so."

(...What is this feeling? This feeling of looking after a brat that isn't able to take care of himself?)

Towards Long Hua's reply, the Tian Cheng that resides in the dreamscape—presses a hand to her head.

"Let us leave this aisle."

Without further ado, Tian Cheng drags Long Hua away from the spot, while pushing the shopping cart along.

"But I still haven't decided on which one to buy."

"We shall not be purchasing instant ramen today, and I suggest we come to the supermarket on a weekly basis henceforth."

"Feels like a pain..."

Inwardly, Tian Cheng thought the same as Long Hua, but for the sake of her plan—

"A good meal is well worth the hassle."

"Can't we just like...- Buy a whole year's worth of canned supplies, and never come back until a year later? I do have a storage pouch."

"Oh? Stacking an entire year's worth of food supplies at checkout? Is master preparing for a world ending event of some kind, or does master simply wish to draw unwanted attention—from all the housewives, who are here today?"

"...I'll pass."

Arriving at the frozen food section of the market, Tian Cheng asks—

"Is there anything in particular that master wishes to have?"

"Hmm."

"Or has all these years of instant ramen dulled master's tastebuds, and made it difficult for you to even recall what proper food tastes like?"
