Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

The newcomer was a Sarkaz girl with purple hair and a pair of cute black horns on her head. Her short purple hair was simply styled into two small braids.

Froststar was somewhat surprised to see the visitor and asked, "What are you doing in the kitchen so late at night?"

Upon seeing the two, Yan Rong acted as if he had seen saviors, quickly approaching and pleading:

"Sister Qilin, Sister Frostnova, my nemesis will be coming here to carry out her evil plan. Please, you must stop her! The responsibility of saving Rhodes Island rests on your shoulders!"

After saying that, Yan Rong opened the kitchen refrigerator, grabbed all the fruits and vegetables left over from the daytime, and ran away without caring about the chill.

As soon as she reached the kitchen door, she heard footsteps approaching.

Yan Rong's expression changed drastically. He decisively turned back, circled the kitchen, and then crouched down and crawled under a table.

Qi Lin and Shuang Xing watched Yan Rong's antics silently, already guessing the reason.

As they expected, soon another Sarkaz girl with purple hair walked cheerfully into the kitchen.

The girl had a faint smile on her face, and her appearance was almost identical to Yan Rong's.

If you don't consider the difference in temperament between the young girl and Yan Rong, it's hard to tell the difference between these twin sisters.

"Oh, Sister Qi Lin, Sister Shuang Xing, you're here too." The girl waved and greeted them cheerfully. "That's great! I just came up with a new dish and was going to have my sister Yan Rong taste it for me, but she suddenly disappeared."

"Could you please help me with the food tasting?"

Qi Lin and Shuang Xing's expressions changed simultaneously.

"Sorry, Furong, the midnight snack is getting cold."

Qi Lin turned around and prepared to flee.

Froststar also picked up her fruit platter, which she had only half-finished arranging, and said earnestly:

"Furong, I still need to bring some fruit to my dad, otherwise the taste will be bad if it stays in the air for too long."

Furong's expression immediately turned extremely serious, and she directly stopped the two of them:

"Eating this kind of food so late at night is unhealthy. Let me make you two nutritious meals instead!"

Qi Lin and the other woman were both at a loss when faced with Fu Rong's suddenly tough attitude.

They knew that the girl in front of them had an unusual obsession with food, especially when it came to healthy eating.

If it were just that simple, it would be fine. The key issue is that, apart from the scientifically balanced nutritional ratio, the nutritional meals of Furong cannot be explained by science at all.

Even Rhodes Island's most professional chefs couldn't explain how ordinary fruits, vegetables, and seasonings, when cooked by Hibiscus, could produce such a despairing taste.

"I'm sorry, Furong, the kitchen supplies were used up during the day."

Froststar had no choice but to open the refrigerated cabinet that Flamemel had emptied, in an attempt to dissuade Hibiscus from her idea.

"How can it be?!"

Furong stared wide-eyed at the empty refrigerator in disbelief: "I specifically checked it after everyone left work, and there were still a lot of materials left inside!"

Froststar said with certainty, "It must be Xiao Ke!"

Upon hearing this, Furong's face revealed an undisguised disappointment.

However, without any raw materials, Furong had no choice but to accept reality.

Froststar and Qilin both breathed a sigh of relief.

A sneeze suddenly came from the kitchen.

Immediately afterwards, a round peach rolled out from under the table where Yan Rong was hiding, and came to rest right at Fu Rong's feet.

The air in the kitchen seemed to freeze for a moment.

The next second, Furong's angry scream echoed:

"Yan Rong, so it was you who was behind this!"

"Damn it, I even sneezed from the cold!"

Yan Rong crawled out from under the table, looking pale and looking unwell. It was hard to tell whether he was cold or frightened.

Seeing this, Furong's anger subsided. She decisively snatched the cold fruits and vegetables from Yan Rong's arms and placed them on the table, then pulled Yan Rong up from the ground:

"Aren't you afraid of catching a cold by holding something so cold so late at night?"

"I'm destined to become a master of fire magic, how could I possibly catch a cold... Achoo!"

Yan Rong's stubbornness was interrupted by a sneeze halfway through.

Furong's face immediately tightened, and she said seriously:

"You've clearly caught a cold. I'll prepare some food to warm you up right away. You just stand here and wait for me for a few minutes!"

Chapter 196 A Nutritious Meal Even Little Carp Dislikes

Upon hearing this, Yan Rong's face paled even more.

She flung Furong's hand away and said urgently:

"I don't want to eat those nutritional meals. If I don't eat them, I'll only have a headache and fever for a couple of days, but if I do eat them, I'll probably have to lie in the medical ward for several days!"

How could you say that!

Furong was a little exasperated: "My nutritional meals are made with the most scientific formula, and eating them will only boost your immunity..."

"I'm not eating, that's fine! Even Xiao Ke dislikes your nutritional meals!"

For his own safety, Yan Rong loudly interrupted Fu Rong.

Faced with her sister's reprimand, Furong's expression stiffened, and the smile on her face completely disappeared.

Her expression was somewhat downcast, her small fists clenched slightly, and she whispered:

"But I just want you to eat healthy food, it's all for your health, I..."

"I told you I won't eat it!" Yan Rong's expression practically screamed resistance. "You always force me to eat those weird foods and medicines, don't you ever think about how I feel?"

Furong pouted, unsure of what to do.

Yan Rong slowly regained his composure, and when he saw his sister's expression, his heart tightened.

But thinking of the horrible taste of the nutritious meal, Yan Rong gritted his teeth, took the opportunity to duck down, slipped away from Fu Rong, and ran straight out of the kitchen.

Furong exclaimed in surprise and quickly followed after him.

Seeing the two sisters run away in the blink of an eye, Qi Lin looked a little strange.

Froststar, however, didn't react much. After letting out a sigh of relief, she went over to tidy up the fruits and vegetables, chuckling softly as she did so:

"Luckily, Yan Rong lost his temper, otherwise we would have been in trouble tonight."

Qi Lin frowned slightly. Although her expression didn't change much, she couldn't help but ask:

"They had a fight, over such a trivial matter. Why did they have to argue?"

“Yanrong did make a mistake in this matter,” Shuangxing said while tidying up the fruits and vegetables. “But family members are bound to have disagreements and arguments. When you see the two sisters again tomorrow, you will find that they have made up again.”

I sometimes argue with my dad. I used to never win an argument with him, but now... hmph.

As she finished speaking, Frostnova's lips curled up involuntarily, revealing a touch of girlish naiveté.

"Won't this affect your relationship?" Qi Lin asked, puzzled.

Froststar turned around and gave her a strange look:

"It's not a serious matter. We'll let it go after the argument. How could it really affect our relationship? You and Qi Yan don't... Oh right, you usually listen to Qi Yan the most, so you don't have a chance to argue."

Qi Lin, carrying her lunchbox, seemed lost in thought.

Froststar tidied up the fruits and vegetables scattered on the table, brushed the ice shards off her hands, picked up the plate, thought for a moment, and muttered to herself:

"There are still a few steps left, but let's leave it at that. It's just something to appease him anyway."

With that, Shuangxing greeted Qilin and left the kitchen first with a fruit platter.

Qi Lin paused for a moment, then finally started walking, locked the kitchen door, and headed towards Qi Yan's dormitory.

When she arrived at Qi Yan's dormitory, he was hunched over his desk, writing furiously.

Qi Lin walked over and placed the late-night snack on the table. Looking down, she saw Qi Yan calculating something on a piece of paper.

Noticing Qi Lin's gaze, Qi Yan offered an explanation:

"A few days ago, I made a timely warning about the natural disaster, and Kal'tsit called me to the weekly summary meeting, saying she wanted to praise me."

I happily went to participate, and Kal'tsit did indeed praise me, even rewarding me with half a month's salary... successfully reducing my salary debt to Rhodes Island from one year and four months to one year and three and a half months!

Qi Yan became increasingly agitated as he spoke, angrily slamming his fist on the table and shouting:

"Is this reasonable? I worked hard for half a year, and now I owe Rhodes Island more than a year's worth of wages!"

Kal'tsit isn't Feline at all; she's a Sarkaz blood demon! She should be hanging from a lamppost!

Qi Lin coldly opened the lunchbox and complained, "Perhaps you should examine your own actions."

"Absolutely not!"

Qi Yan snorted: "With my fiery temper, how could I possibly tolerate it? I raised my objection at the time, and then Kal'tsit personally listed a whole bunch of crimes for me."

But I wasn't having it! All I wanted to do was help Furong realize her dream of becoming a head chef, so I secretly replaced the chefs' meals with Furong's special meals, making them spend a few days in the medical ward!

"Not only the chefs, but after Hibiscus took office, the unsuspecting operators ate the nutritional meals and collectively felt unwell, so Rhodes Island had to shut down for a day."

Qi Lin took the initiative to help her older brother recall the results of his battles.

Qi Yan's expression froze for a moment. He scratched his head and began to change the subject:

"Another time, Kroos and I created a midday music radio channel to help the operators cultivate their musical literacy during their lunch break. How perfect was that? Yet Kal'tsit still deducted our wages for it!"

Upon hearing Qi Yan mention that midday music broadcast, Qi Lin's face paled slightly, as if recalling some terrifying memory:

"After everyone got used to the broadcast, you suddenly switched the channel and sang your own song... That afternoon, not only did Rhodes Island shut down for half a day, but even the medical staff collapsed."

Qi Yan blushed.

He thought about it and decided not to continue protesting, otherwise his younger sister would expose all his dark history.

For example, she instigated Elysium to use her good looks to attract Skadi's attention, while Warfarin ambushed her from behind.

As a result, the two of them were beaten so badly by Skadi that they lay in the medical ward for half a month.

He also told Ifrit scary stories and then dressed up as a ghost to frighten her.

As a result, Ifrit messed up and blew up a corridor.

There's something else he absolutely mustn't let Qi Lin know: he used his tail to lure Hong, instructing her to pluck the feathers from the Liberi agents on the island...

Qi Lin looked at her guilty older brother, pursed her lips, sat down in a chair, and ate her late-night snack in small bites.

Qi Yan didn't dare continue the topic. With one hand, she shoveled food into her mouth with a spoon, while with the other hand, she was still stubbornly calculating the exact amount of wages she owed.

After a moment, Qi Lin suddenly spoke hesitantly:

"Last time you said that the professor took credit at the weekly meeting for securing a publicly funded vacation for everyone..."

Qi Yan, with food in his mouth, mumbled:

"Yes, and then Kal'tsit decided on Siesta, where there is an inland sea, a famous resort in this land."

"...I don't really like it..."

Qi Lin spoke haltingly.

Qi Yan looked up at his younger sister and nodded seriously, saying, "Indeed, in my opinion, she's not as good as Dosoles!"

Qi Lin: "..."

She took a deep breath and stated her position directly:

“You prepared my swimsuit as soon as you came back from Colombia. From then on, you anticipated this trip to Siesta and were prepared to have me go with you.”

But I don't like the feeling of being wet, so I'm not going on vacation this time.

After speaking, Qi Lin stared intently at Qi Yan, waiting for his reaction.

She felt a little nervous.

This wasn't the first time she had resisted Qi Yan's arrangements, but unlike before, this time Qi Lin completely rejected Qi Yan's instructions.

She wasn't sure if doing this would affect Qi Yan's plans.
