Chapter Seventy-Seven: Suppressing Vomiting

As Xiang Kun stood at his own doorstep, hearing the conversation between Shiling’s Mom and Tang Baona in the elevator, he knew he was in trouble.

As expected, Tang Baona, who stayed downstairs, called him a few dozen seconds later.

“I only started trying to cook recently and I can only make two dishes now.”

“A neighbor gave me some homemade snacks. Since I just cooked a dish, I thought it would be nice to give them some as a return gift.”

“She’s just being nice when she said my dishes are better than those in restaurants. As a newbie, there’s no way I can outdo them.”

“A chef? You’re joking. Up until this month, the number of times I’ve cooked doesn’t even reach two digits.”

“As for why it’s rabbit meat? I just happened to stumble upon a rabbit meat recipe online and thought I’d give it a try.”

“Sure, if you dare to try my dish, I can prepare it in advance next time and you can be my guinea pigs. But don’t blame me if it tastes bad.”

“Not eating rabbit meat? Why? It’s really good and it’s the only dish I know how to make right now… alright, I’ll try cooking beef next time.”

“Tonight? I can’t do it tonight. I haven’t prepared anything and I have something to do later. Let’s reschedule. I need to look up and try some beef recipes first…”

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Kun returned to his home.

Indeed, it was logically speaking, he had been hanging out regularly with Tang Baona, Yang Zhen’er, and Xia Libing, and they were now his friends. If he could cook for his neighbors then he should also cook for his friends—especially after they directly asked for it.

Of course, Xiang Kun would still forcefully refuse if he really didn’t want to.

But after waking up from his blood-drinking period this time, he had been considering going back home to live with his parents for a while, he couldn’t continue not eating normally.

After his sudden mutation, he was more concerned about survival initially, then focused on training and guiding the mutation to enhance his abilities. He didn’t think too much about how to interact with others because he was living alone after being laid off, hence he could avoid many problems.

Now, however, it seemed that he was not going to die soon, whether he had turned into a “vampire” or some other being, so he should consider some future matters.

There were three main challenges to interacting with others now: the constant blood-drinking period, needing to sleep for about 25 hours after blood-drinking and the inability to ingest anything other than water.

The first issue could be solved if he had a private space. Drinking blood took very little time and was not too frequent, roughly once every six days. He just needed to ensure nobody saw him during the process.

The second issue, he could blame on work or gaming. Even before the mutation, he sometime slept for 15-16 hours straight after staying up all night gaming or coding. As long as he gave a heads-up before sleeping, even in his parents’ house, he would not be disturbed.

The third issue was relatively more difficult to deal with.

When socializing with relatives, friends or family, it was almost impossible to dodge eating together.

Occasionally making excuses to abstain might work but in the long run, it would cause problems. The only exception was if he chose to go full hermit and cease all social contact.

But even if he were to embrace total isolation from the world, he could not abandon his parents. He couldn’t avoid regular contact or meals with his parents.
