I have no regrets about my 2D world!

Logically speaking, even if a foodie can't cook any gourmet food, it should be no problem for him to prepare some home-cooked meals.

But when he thought about the food-like things that Luo Tianyi made with those ingredients last night, he couldn't help but question this common sense.

He recognized the ingredients like oil, salt, sauce and vinegar correctly, but he obviously did not have a good grasp of the dosage represented by words like small amount and moderate, which allowed him to taste the ultimate in sweet, sour, bitter and spicy flavors in just one meal.

"Oh, forget it, take your time. Cooking is something you can't learn in a short time."

Bai sighed and stood up, looking at the lake with a little confusion.

He remembered that he didn't put away the fishing rod last night, and there were no footprints around. So how did the fishing rod disappear?

Maybe it was taken away by a goblin or something.

Shaking his head, Bai didn't think any further and turned to leave the Mist Lake.

Generally speaking, there are two ways to get to the Lost Bamboo Forest from the Mist Lake. One is to go to the Human World first, and then there is a special road to the Lost Bamboo Forest in the Human World.

Secondly, you can go through the magic forest and directly reach the lost bamboo forest.

Although he could get there in an instant, he had been here for such a long time and still hadn't had a good look around Gensokyo, so he planned to cross the Magic Forest and get familiar with the old places.

The fresh air in the forest in the morning was very comfortable. Bai Weiwei closed his eyes and enjoyed the crunching sound of leaves under his feet.

It’s a pity that I didn’t have time to experience it too much, and I was attracted by the sudden situation in front of me and stopped.

The surrounding trees are lush, but sunlight can still shine through the branches and leaves, so unless night falls, the magical forest is as clearly visible as other places in Gensokyo.

But an accident happened.

As he watched, a ball of darkness crashed straight into a thick tree. Then a faint sound came from inside, and the darkness fell headfirst to the ground.

As for why we say that a mass of darkness is head down?

Perhaps because the person maintaining the darkness fainted and his ability became ineffective, the figure of its owner also appeared in the darkness.

A little girl with blonde hair.

Bai walked forward curiously and turned over the girl's body which was lying face down due to the fall.

The girl seemed to have fainted, and she closed her eyes tightly. Bai pushed her twice but she didn't move. After hesitating for a moment, he gathered some energy on his fingers and pressed them on her forehead, sending a stream of energy into her body.

Then he saw the girl's eyes tremble slightly, as if she was about to wake up, and Bai immediately stopped supplying energy.

However, just as she stopped, the unconscious girl's eyes regained their composure, and then she made a lightning-fast move that made physics shed tears and sigh.

The girl's half body jumped up from the ground, and she bit the finger that had just been transferred energy to her but was now in mid-air.

The other half of the body was dragged along by the physics team with satisfaction.

Because she was not human and was unconscious, the girl had no control over her strength. Her seemingly small mouth had enough bite force to easily break human bones, but this force was just like a tickle to Bai.

The arm swayed slightly, and the girl's body swayed with it, as if it was fixed on the finger.

Perhaps due to lack of energy, Bai tentatively gathered energy again.

Sure enough, the energy was absorbed by the girl as soon as it appeared, and then she continued to demand more.

Bai didn't think much about it, he just wanted to see how much energy this little monster would need.

And he had already recognized who the little girl was.

Her golden hair was tied with a red ribbon, and she wore the same black skirt and white shirt that she always wore. Finally, with the obvious darkness when she appeared, the only one who could match all of this was the monster named Rumia.

She has the ability to control darkness, but perhaps because she is young, her strength is not that strong. Under certain conditions, she may not even be able to defeat Cirno.

He usually wanders around the Magic Forest, but it is unclear where he lives and what he eats.

Oh, maybe now you know what you are eating.

Bai looked at Rumia hanging on his finger, and his expression suddenly became a little strange.

Rumia absorbed energy very quickly, almost absorbing it as soon as he gathered a little. And because he didn't know how much Rumia's body could withstand, he didn't gather too much at once, so this picture appeared that was difficult for him to explain.

Rumia hung in front of him with a comfortable look on her face, her hands hanging down and her lips moving constantly. As soon as he stopped supplying energy, Rumia's hands would press on his arms, shaking back and forth, as if asking why there was no energy.

And that's not all. Because she was almost unconscious, Rumia was just absorbing energy by instinct, just like enjoying food.

But children, especially young ones, don't care about their image when eating.

The teeth rubbed against the fingers, as if trying to get rid of the part that gathered energy, and the tongue kept licking, as if trying to melt and absorb the fingers.

Bai's fingers hooked slightly, and the small tongue followed suit.

Although it feels weird, it's quite comfortable...

Bai immediately shook his head, throwing out some very cruel thoughts, watching Rumia think for a moment, and increased the output of energy.

He already understood the amount of energy Rumia's body could withstand, and if this continued, it would be difficult for him to explain if someone passed by.

Without waiting for Rumia to absorb it slowly, Bai directly controlled the energy and sent it into Rumia's body, filling the gaps in her body in an instant.

Rumia herself hadn't even reacted yet, and the action of absorbing energy by hanging on his finger paused for a moment.

The red eyes slowly opened, revealing a puzzled expression.

"Who are you? Why am I here? Ouch!"

The corners of Bai's mouth twitched slightly. Looking at Rumia, who fell to the ground, covering her little butt with tears in her eyes, he sighed in his heart.

Another idiot.

Bai reached out and pulled Rumia up, then placed his hands on her shoulders and spoke seriously:

"Listen carefully. First, you can call me Bai. Just now, you hit a tree and fell down for some reason, so I stayed to treat you.

Second, although I don’t know what you usually eat, you have absorbed a lot of energy just now, so you should not be hungry again in the short term.

Third... there is no third, that's all, bye."

After saying that, Bai walked around Rumia's body and continued to move forward.

Although it is still morning, time will pass quickly if you are delayed by something.

He had already told Meihong that he would go there today, and he couldn't be delayed because of other things.

As for Rumia, he was not worried at all. Gensokyo had been established for so many years, and Rumia could not have appeared recently, otherwise Yakumo Yukari would definitely do some small moves.

Since everything has been fine here for so long, there won't be any problem if he just leaves it alone.

Moreover, the ribbon on Rumia's head is not an ordinary thing. It feels like there is a seal inside, and it is very obvious who it is sealed in.

He was too lazy to find out the reason, at least he didn't want to care about it now.

But just as he took a step, the feeling from behind made him stop.

Sure enough, what he was most worried about happened.

Chapter 33: Is it pitiful or not?

Bai turned around helplessly and looked at Rumya who was pulling at his clothes.

"So, what else do you have to say?"

Rumia let go of her hand and shook her head.

"Then why are you pulling me?" Bai looked confused.

But seeing that Rumia didn't say anything, he had to turn around again.

Unfortunately, he stopped after taking just a few steps.

"So if you have something to say, just say it directly."

Looking at Rumia who was only two steps behind him, Bai felt a sense of trouble coming towards him.

However, Lumia just shook her head.

"Okay, forget it, but I won't play with you for the time being."

"Are you leaving?"

Seeing Bai's figure gradually fade away in front of her eyes, Rumia finally said the second sentence of their meeting.

Seeing this, Bai's figure solidified again.

"That's right, I still have things to do, I can't stay here with you all the time."

"Then can I follow you?" A hint of anticipation appeared in Rumia's eyes.

"Why?" Bai was a little confused.

He and Rumia had just met for the first time, and they had only exchanged less than five sentences. Why did Rumia want to follow him?

It was understandable that he had special bonuses in the Garden of Eden, but outside he even restrained his aura, and it was possible that people who didn't know him would mistake him for an ordinary person.

Then why did Rumia make this request? It can't be that she would marry him just because he saved her life, right?

That's impossible. Rumia looks so stupid. If she hadn't seen him nearby when she woke up, she would have turned around and continued wandering without any doubt.

not to mention......

"Because I'm hungry."

While I was still thinking about the reason why Rumia did this, Rumia's pitiful voice came.

Bai suddenly fell silent.

Yes, why does he think so much? His stupid brain can’t understand it.

"But aren't you full now?"

"You'll be hungry later."

Rumia took two steps forward and grabbed Bai's clothes, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.

She is stupid, but she is not foolish.

Maybe because she was full, her brain worked a little better. She remembered that she had hit the tree and fainted because she was too hungry. Now that she woke up, there was only Bai in front of her, but her stomach was full.

No matter how dumb you are, you can figure out that being full is related to being white.

Although she didn't know how she felt full, a voice in her heart told her that as long as she followed Bai she would never be hungry again, so she did this.

She had originally thought of following Bai all the time, but Bai's sudden disappearance made her unable to remain silent.

If I don’t say something, I’m afraid I’ll lose my long-term meal ticket.

Looking down at Rumia's pitiful appearance, Bai sighed helplessly.

"So, how did you live and eat in the past? Isn't it okay to just continue eating the same way now?"

You can't have eaten nothing before you met him, right?

However, Lumia just shook her head.

"I do not know either."

Well, you don’t understand?

Bai was a little surprised for a moment.

"What did you eat before? Fruits, plants, animals, etc?"

"I don't know." Lumia still shook her head, "I fly around in the sky every day and can't see anything.

When I was hungry, I went looking for food. I don’t know how I found it, but the food tasted terrible. After I finished eating, there was some red stuff on the ground, and it smelled terrible.”

"Then you are not..."

Bai was just about to ask if Rumia usually had food to eat, but suddenly another question came to his mind.

"Does the thing you're eating have bones, the kind that makes a crunching sound when you bite it?"

Rumia lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head happily because she remembered this.

"Have!"

Looking at Rumia's happy expression, Bai suddenly fell silent.

There are only two kinds of things with bones in Gensokyo. One is other monsters, but with Rumia's strength and brains, she probably can't even defeat some of the small monsters in Gensokyo, let alone eat them unconsciously.

As for the other kind with bones...I'm afraid the only ones found in the human world are those.

"Oh, forget it, just follow me from now on."

Even though she has basically left the realm of being a human being now, Bai still cares about Rumia's situation.
