Chapter 182 Navia's Favorability Increases
As the sun, high in the sky, gradually moved to its zenith, it quietly arrived at noon, and the children all gathered in the cafeteria for lunch.
Watching the children chatting and laughing, Kujavina noticed that some of the children eating seemed listless and uninterested.
Kujavina was still a little puzzled, so she asked softly, "My dear children, is it because the food today wasn't to your liking?"
"Look at you all, why do you all look so worried?" Hearing their mother's concerned question, the children, who had been looking distressed, all looked up.
After exchanging a glance, they both forced out bitter smiles that were more like cries. Meanwhile, Qiuhe was enjoying the delicious grilled fish on his plate.
He gushed about the delicious grilled fish with obvious enjoyment. "Mmm~ This fish is so delicious! Come on, Clementine, Pepe. Ah~"
As Qiuhe spoke, he used a fork to pick up a piece of tender grilled fish and slowly brought it to Clement and Peruvier's lips. Upon seeing this, Clement slowly opened her mouth.
He gently enveloped the piece of fish in his mouth, chewed it, and his face revealed a look of pure enjoyment and happiness.
Finally, she gently kissed Qiuhe on the cheek. "Mmm, it's really delicious, isn't it, Pepe?" Pelverry simply nodded expressionlessly.
However, the somewhat dejected children around them were also so angry at what they saw that they gritted their teeth.
Some were so angry they nearly bent their knives and forks on the spot. All of this stemmed from their previous battle with Qiuhe.
It was only an hour before noon, and Akikawa had boldly declared that only those who successfully defeated his child would be qualified to join Sinagi's team.
At the time, a very small number of self-proclaimed clever kids took the former in to wear down their energy, while the latter waited to reap the benefits, using a mantis stalking the cicada unaware of the oriole behind to directly capture Qiuhe and then successfully join Si Naqi's team.
But in the end, with an hour to go before noon, Qiuhe swept away the fallen leaves in just half an hour.
She easily defeated all the children who came to challenge her, without any suspense. Therefore, the children who lost the opportunity to team up with Sina were already very sad.
As the other children walked off the field dejectedly, when Akikawa finally emerged, Clementine Péruveli rushed forward and hugged him, cheering for his victory.
Just seconds after the two had hugged Qiuhe, Si Naqi ran up and hugged Qiuhe tightly, exclaiming "Le Yi, you're so great!"
Three girls threw themselves into his arms, one of whom was his long-desired goddess. Witnessing this heart-wrenching scene, the defeated children felt as if hundreds of thousands of alpacas were stampeding through their minds.
And all the children were asking the same question in their hearts: "Why? Why? Does he have an extra nose or an extra mouth? How can one person have three?"
Looking at this scene that made one want to grind their teeth in anger, and recalling the past when they were beaten like dogs, those childish people just wanted to throw down their knives and forks and leave. They might as well skip this humiliating meal.
But whenever the children saw Qiu'er's sharp, dagger-like eyes, they could only swallow their humiliating meal, since Qiuhe had only taken them down briefly.
They didn't go too far, but if that mad dog, Chur, found out anyone disrespected Kujavina, that child would probably never set foot in the Hearth House again.
In the end, the children, though resentful, could only eat quickly while shedding tears in their hearts, wishing they could plug their ears with a cloth as they listened to Qiuhe's constant displays of affection.
And when there are sad people in a room, there will be a few people whose eyes are filled with envy, even if some children lost to Qiuhe in the duel.
However, two or three children sat at the same table as Sinaqi at lunchtime, but even when they were seated together, the other children couldn't find a chance to speak to her because...
At this moment, Sinaqi's eating state was simply indescribable. If one were to try to describe it, one could only say that she was like a starving wolf that hadn't eaten for days, devouring the food before her with absolutely no trace of the noble elegance one would expect from a young lady.
The Sinaqi at this moment is completely different from the gentle, lovely, and shy girl she was when she had a tea party on the beach with Qiuhe and his group, as well as Chlorindel Melus and Silver.
Now, like an elegant young lady who has worn a mask for too long, Sinaqi has finally been able to take it off, relax, and be her true self, completely unleashing her nature.
The child sitting next to her tried to speak several times but couldn't find a reason. She started to speak, but seeing Sinaqi so focused on eating, she hesitated and didn't know how to begin.
But then Qin Yuming suddenly produced a drink from somewhere. "Captain, don't eat so fast, you'll choke."
"Try this drink I made myself. I hope the captain will like it." Upon hearing this, Sinaqi stopped eating, still chewing her food.
After swallowing the food, Sinaqi accepted Qin Yuming's drink. "Thank you, Qin Yuming." Looking at Sinaqi's angelic smile...
Qin Yuming also spoke with a smile. "No need to thank me. If the captain likes this drink, then I'll be perfectly satisfied." Sinaqi didn't seem to care much after hearing this.
She raised the glass with both hands and took a big gulp. The moment the juice slid into her mouth and her taste buds experienced its incredibly sweet aroma, Sinaqi was stunned. Her eyes widened in shock, and she quickly stopped what she was doing, putting the glass down and staring blankly ahead.
The huge reaction drew the attention of all the children, who all looked at Sinaqi with concern, wondering what was wrong.
Sinaqi, however, smacked her lips twice in disbelief to confirm the taste. Still somewhat incredulous, she stopped gulping down her drink as before and instead took a small sip, savoring the flavor.
Then, Sinaqi's eyes began to tremble, and a dazzling light flashed across them in a fleeting moment. A joyful smile slowly spread across her face.
"It's so delicious!!!" Si Naqi exclaimed, downing her drink in one gulp, leaving it completely empty. She then licked her lips, her eyes shining, and looked at Qin Yuming, asking:
"Qin Yuming, Qin Yuming, what's this drink called? Is there any more? I want more!" Sinaqi's face was beaming with joy.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled with longing, as if the drink were the most precious treasure in the world. The children around her were also excited to see Sinaqi so excited.
It was simply because the drink was so delicious. The anxiety that had been building around them subsided. Qin Yuming, seeing this, smiled and looked at Sinaqi.
His handsome face was now filled with doting affection. He slowly pulled a clean white tissue from his pocket and carefully wiped away the drink residue and grease from the corner of Sina's mouth as she sat beside him.
His movements were as gentle as a breeze across a lake, like a refined gentleman carefully protecting his princess, afraid of hurting the lovable girl before him.
"Since the captain likes it so much, then Yuming will make it for the captain every day from now on, okay? As long as it makes the captain happy, Yuming will be happy too."
Watching the gentlemanly boy gently wipe the grease from her lips, Sina felt a strange feeling well up inside her.
But for Sinaqi, who is still young and has not experienced love stories like Clay, and has not read as many love stories as Kree, the most she has ever heard are those old-fashioned bedtime stories told by Cares.
So when Sinaqi heard those words, she only reacted instinctively, unaware of how devastating they would be to a girl like Clayville, who was just beginning to experience romantic feelings.
So Sinaqi's immense excitement and joy stemmed from the fact that he had grasped the key phrase in the words: "If she likes it, I'll make it for her every day."
Then, Si Naqi excitedly hugged Qin Yuming and said, "I like it, I like it very much, Qin Yuming, you have to keep your word!"
"You have to make this for me every day from now on, okay?" Qin Yuming smiled gently and stroked Sinaqi's head. "Okay, you keep your word."
"I'll make it for Sinaqi every day from now on." Watching Qin Yuming and Sinaqi's intimate interaction, the other children sitting around were filled with envy and jealousy.
The group had been struggling to start a conversation with Sinaqi since the meal began, but she managed to win him over with just her status as a team member and a simple drink.
"Ding! Congratulations, host. Navia's affection level has increased to 4. However, since the target Navia has not yet been unlocked, each increase in affection will be recorded first. Once the target Navia is unlocked, the host can directly receive the affection reward."
