Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1117 - 540: Can Riding a Roller Coaster Really Lead to Enlightenment?!

"Ugh."

Zhou Hu embraced the trash can for the Nth time and puked furiously, practically becoming one with the trash can, as if it had seamlessly become a part of his body, impossible to separate.

Originally, Ouyang said he'd sit for a while and then leave, but now he was fixed to the bench, staring blankly, lost in thought, rethinking, failing to rethink, and continuing to ponder.

Watching Zhou Hu still hugging the trash can and vomiting, Ouyang mumbled, "How big a deal does Mr. Luo have that Planner Zhou is risking his life to accompany Qin Huai on a roller coaster?"

.

Ten minutes later—

"What, you say Qin Huai has already ridden the roller coaster 9 times?! Luoluo was down for the count after 5 and had to take a break, Youyou rode 6 times and puked, Zhou Hu went 3 rides and ended up like this, and now Qin Huai is still in line waiting for the next roller coaster?!" Chen Huihong's booming voice was practically cutting through the sky.

On a normal day, Chen Huihong had a naturally loud voice, but this time it was due to genuine shock.

Luo Jun rubbed his ears with a hint of disgust, glanced at Chen Huihong, looked up at the running roller coaster from his wheelchair, and said blandly, "Has Qin Huai been provoked?"

Another five minutes later—

"What?! You say Qin Huai was provoked and wants to commit suicide?" Zhao Cheng'an screamed upon hearing the rumor of Qin Huai's madness, "I just went to toss a ring, how is Qin Huai thinking of suicide out of nowhere?"

Luo Jun responded coldly, "Who knows, maybe he's been infected by spending too much time with Mayfly."

"What Mayfly?" Ouyang was bewildered.

"Not important," Chen Huihong interrupted, about to speak when Shi Dadan hurried over, clutching a sausage, his normally straightforward voice laced with terror.

"I've heard Qin Huai's lost his mind and wants to kill himself. What happened? He just seemed fine, went to eat sweets, and suddenly doesn't want to live anymore? What happened in the dessert shop? Is he okay now? Has he been taken to the hospital? Is his condition stable? I heard he jumped off the roller coaster!"

Zhao Cheng'an was struck with fright, "What?! He jumped off the roller coaster! How come I don't see any blood, and why hasn't the roller coaster been shut down?"

"Ugh." Zhou Hu contributed another sound effect from behind the trash can.

Everyone: ...

Luo Jun took a deep breath, desperately suppressing his urge to yell and curse, and glared fiercely at Chen Huihong, "Chen Huihong, are you crazy? What exactly did you send them in your messages?"

Chen Huihong looked innocent, "I only said Qin Huai had ridden the roller coaster 9 times, and now it's 10 times, and he's still going. Last time Xiao Tan rode four or five times and got so sick he vomited into a stomach inflammation and was hospitalized for so long. I just exaggerated a little, saying Xiao Qin might not want to live anymore sitting on so many roller coasters for no apparent reason."

"How could I know it would be misunderstood like this."

"What? Riding a roller coaster can cause stomach inflammation?" Zhou Hu's weak voice came from behind the trash can.

Sadly, at this critical moment, nobody cared about the background noise; everyone was truly worried about Qin Huai. Last time Qin Huai came to the amusement park, he accompanied Qin Luo on several rides but stayed within the normal range, while now it seemed a bit out of the spirit's realm.

Chen Huihong didn't dare to guarantee her survival after riding 10 roller coasters consecutively.

"What's going on with Qin Huai lately?" Chen Huihong issued a soulful inquiry, "Hasn't he been staying in the cafeteria making snacks? I haven't gone to the cafeteria much recently. I've been helping Huihui find a tutor and haven't been chatting with Xiao Qin. Although Huihui's grades aren't bad, all her classmates have tutors except Huihui, and I'm worried she'll fall behind at the starting line."

Luo Jun said expressionlessly, "I haven't been outside."

Then he glanced towards Shi Dadan, Cheng Gong, and Gong Liang, who were sitting in the kitchen daily, his face clearly asking them to provide an explanation.

Cheng Gong was pondering, Gong Liang was frowning, and Shi Dadan was repenting.

"I've been really careless, truly. These days, I actually felt Qin Huai was acting a bit strange, but I didn't give it much thought. Previously, Qin Huai would make all sorts of snacks every day, often saying that if he made the same snack for too long, he'd feel bored. He wouldn't stand in front of the cooking counter all the time; he'd come over occasionally for tea and chat with us."

"In the past few days, Qin Huai has only been making locust flower buns, not making other snacks much at all, and he hasn't come over once during work hours to chat with us. Although it seemed odd to me, I thought it was because Qin Huai just realized something recently, as he used to act this way too, but on second thought, he was never this way before."

"Could it be snack-making pressure driving him to depression?"

"I read online that depression is terrifying; in my son's school, a student jumped off the building due to depression."

"It's all my fault for being too careless. If I'd shown more concern for Qin Huai, he wouldn't have reached such an advanced stage without us noticing." Shi Dadan was full of regret.

Qu Jing hurriedly comforted, "Old Shi, I don't think Qin Huai has depression. The symptoms of depression don't quite match his current status; he's more like... like..."

Qu Jing spoke for a long time but couldn't describe it properly; she was a neurology doctor, not a psychologist, her expertise wasn't relevant.

Zhao Cheng'an glanced around and asked, "Where are Luoluo and An Youyou?"

"They went to ride the drop tower, right, Ouyang? When Luoluo and Youyou came down, Qin Huai hadn't ridden so many roller coasters yet. They don't know about this, and I'm afraid Luoluo will worry, so I didn't tell her," Chen Huihong said.
