Chapter 230 Honey Consumption
Having had enough of playing and scaring, Lin Yifan decided to give An Qi a break.
He put away the bee pupae in his hand and said to An Qi, "Baby! Get up, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
"I don't want to! I don't want to eat bee pupae," An Qi refused to get up.
She would rather starve than eat such a terrifying and disgusting thing.
"We're not eating bee pupae. Come on, get up," Lin Yifan urged.
"If it's not bee pupae, what else could it be? Didn't you only bring back one beehive?" An Qi challenged.
"Don't you know that besides bee pupae, there's another delicious food item in a beehive?" Lin Yifan countered.
"What delicious food?"
"A nutritional supplement known for nourishing yin, moistening dryness, strengthening weakness, moisturizing the lungs, and enhancing human immunity——honey," Lin Yifan answered.
"Honey? Is there really such a thing?"
An Qi was surprised; she had really never seen where honey came from, so she genuinely didn't know hives contained honey.
"Why would I lie to you? Do you think I'd scare my sweetheart again?"
"I don't believe it."
An Qi still didn't believe it; unless she saw it with her own eyes, she wouldn't fall for Lin Yifan's nonsense again.
"If you don't believe it, then come and see for yourself!"
"But, I already have no strength to move."
An Qi pouted and acted coquettishly, though she was indeed speaking the truth as she was really weak.
Seeing An Qi's pale face, which didn't seem like a lie, Lin Yifan first placed the piece of beehive on the beach, then went over to pick her up.
…
An Qi fell into contemplation. Lin Yifan was right; there were no absolutes in the world regarding right and wrong, and many things were relative, it all depended on how you looked at them.
Before long, they had returned to the encampment.
At this point, Lin Yifan set the weak An Qi down on the ground, allowing her to sit on the beach with her back against a rock; then he went to handle the honey himself.
Carefully breaking apart the beehive segment by segment, he soon found the golden honey.
Watching this scene unfold before her, An Qi was amazed: "There really is honey!"
Now, she had dispelled her doubts about Lin Yifan.
"Didn't I tell you? Isn't it a delicious food?" Lin Yifan asked with a wide smile.
"Yes! Yes! Hurry up and bring it here for me to eat, I'm so hungry I can hardly stand it."
Staring at that golden substance, she couldn't help but salivate uncontrollably, wishing she could fly over and swallow it whole on the spot.
…
Lin Yifan made a concession; when a woman is angry, you should never fan the flames, or it will backfire on you.
He broke off a small piece of the honeycomb and brought it to An Qi's lips.
The honeycomb was held together by golden wax, so it wouldn't flow out of your hands as quickly as liquid honey would.
Looking at the piece of honey wafting a sweet scent in front of her, An Qi's mood instantly improved, and she took a bite immediately afterwards.
Getting on the wrong side of delicious food at a time like this would be the most foolish thing to do.
"Does it taste good?" Lin Yifan asked.
"It tastes great! Delicious!" An Qi nodded in praise.
Originally, she thought the golden wax would be hard, but as soon as she took a bite, she discovered that the wax melted instantly, which was truly magical.
"Do you want more?" Lin Yifan asked.
Seeing An Qi so happy brought him much relief.
"Yes! Yes! Give it to me! Give it to me!" An Qi clamored like a child; at this moment, she had become addicted to the thick sweetness of the honey.
"Here!" Lin Yifan broke off another small piece of the honeycomb and brought it to An Qi's lips.
An Qi opened her slightly pale lips and took a bite.
After chewing twice, she immediately exclaimed, "Mmm!!! So delicious! You should try some too."
"No, there's not much honeycomb left. If I eat it, you won't have enough," Lin Yifan declined the offer.
