C51 (1/2)

Warmth typed the last word on the keyboard. His tensed expression finally relaxed a little.

”Phew … It's finally better now that you've starved me to death …”

After keeping the documents, he covered his stomach and looked out the window. It was already pitch black outside. Even the Tang clan office building across the street only had a few lights left.

It was almost 11 o'clock, no wonder she was so hungry. Today, after getting up, she had eaten two pieces of cake, a cup of milk, and a pot of tea on the table. Other than that, she hadn't eaten anything!

He didn't think much of it before when all his attention was on the script, but now he looked at his hands that were shaking with hunger and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

She remembered the last time she was hungry and trembling when she was studying abroad. At that time, she didn't have much money on hand, and the cost of working was very low, so she was worried that she wouldn't be able to save enough money to pay for the tuition fees for the next semester. Therefore, she only ate one meal a day, and it wasn't even proper food.

During that time, her hands were shaking almost every day. It was only after she found the second part-time job with a relatively high salary and the school's research department's subsidy that she could have a better life.

She didn't expect that after so many years, she would once again experience the feeling of her hands shaking from hunger.

She was afraid that she was too weak to hold the spatula, so she directly opened the refrigerator. She wanted to find something edible to put on her belly first so that she could at least stop shaking her damn hand.

However, the fridge was filled with ingredients that needed to be processed. The only things that could be eaten directly were the lactic acid bacteria beverages that were half drunk from the refrigerator and the ice beverages that he drank from his mouth.

Nikki hesitated for a moment before taking out her drink. It was sweet. When one was hungry, eating something sweet was the best way to relieve the hunger.

The moment the sour, sweet, and cold lactic acid bacteria reached her stomach, it stimulated her whole body to go cold. But fortunately, her hand stopped shaking after the bottle went down.

She looked down at the time on her watch. It was past eleven o'clock, and at this time of day, in a business center full of office buildings, perhaps only a convenience store opened twenty-four hours a day would be able to find food.

Nikki remembered that there was such a convenience store on the first floor of the Tang Mansion.

She didn't waste anymore time, picked up her purse and left. After going downstairs, she headed straight for the convenience store.

Although the convenience store was open 24 hours a day, there were very few customers at night, so most of the products sold during the day were out of stock at night.

At first, Nikki wanted to buy some food to eat, but after drinking the hot soup, she felt warm all over. When she arrived at the convenience store, she found that there was only a string of fish balls left, and the soup was spicy.

He had no choice but to buy the last string of fish balls. The employee felt embarrassed and passionately filled him with spicy broth. Then, he took two rice balls from the freezer in the convenience store. That way, he could barely handle a meal.

After returning to the apartment, she heated up the rice ball slightly and wolfed down the food. Then, she drank the entire bowl of hot and spicy soup. In the cold winter night, Su Tong started to sweat profusely.

After eating and washing up, she felt completely relaxed. Not long after lying down on the bed, she fell asleep, but after sleeping for a while, she felt a wave of discomfort in her stomach. Her entire stomach was burning up, and she curled up into a ball, pressing her hands against her stomach, hoping to alleviate some of the symptoms.

He took out his cell phone and checked. It was 3 AM in the morning. It would be daybreak soon. When the pharmacy downstairs opened, he could buy some stomach medicine at any time.

She closed her eyes, and shrunk herself down to the size of a shrimp. She had thought it would be easier to fall asleep this way, but the burning sensation in her stomach was really annoying. It was not that painful, it was just that she felt uncomfortable.

She tossed and turned the bed, trying her best to think of a way to fall asleep, but no matter what, she couldn't fall asleep. Listening to the alarm clock on the bedside, she felt that the time was extremely hard to bear, and after tormenting herself for a long time, she once again took out her phone to check the time, but it was only half an hour.

Covering her stomach, she bent over and got up from the bed. Supporting herself with the banister, she walked down to the living room with much difficulty. After turning on all the lights in the room, she went to the kitchen to heat up some hot water for herself, hoping that drinking some hot water would relieve the discomfort in her stomach.

He leaned against the wall of the kitchen and waited for the hot water to boil. He first poured a cup of hot water onto the counter, then found a hot water bottle and poured the rest of the hot water into it. Finally, he placed the hot water bottle over his stomach.
