Su Bai never expected to hear such a sentence.

Even Qiu Wen, Zhang Wei, and Hu Li were all stunned on the spot.

Who is Cui Luoheng? He is the most promising 110-meter hurdler in their track and field team. Even when facing the hurdles coach Zhou Wen, Cui Luoheng might not have a pleasant expression.

Just based on Cui Luoheng's usually forbidding face, he's known as a troublemaker in the team!

They heard recently that Cui Luoheng's temper seemed to have improved quite a bit, but even so, there hasn't been news of many people in the team having a genuinely good relationship with him.

According to Zhang Wei and Hu Li, for someone like Cui Luoheng, who is known as a troublemaker, only guys like Qiu Wen and Wang Shen, who get along well with anyone, have the possibility of getting along with him.

The results? Now what are they seeing?

Right after Su Bai returned to the track and field team, Cui Luoheng promptly found him, right at the first moment, and told Little Bai that he wanted to have a meal?

There was a brief moment of silence in the air, and then Su Bai frowned, "You haven't been eating for the past few days?"

Although Cui Luoheng still had an expressionless face, his whole demeanor seemed a bit downcast. He even appeared a bit aggrieved. After pausing for two or three seconds, he replied, "I have been eating."

As a professional athlete, eating is also part of his job, necessary to maintain the daily intake of nutrition, energy, and performance. Cui Luoheng couldn't possibly skip meals.

It's just that eating is one thing, but his naturally picky taste buds made it difficult for him to complete the task of eating like his other teammates.

Cui Luoheng initially thought that he had been eating in the team for so many years. Even though Su Bai temporarily took Qiu Wen to a competition and he couldn't eat well, enduring for a few days shouldn't be a problem—after all, he had managed to eat this way for so many years.

But he didn't expect that humans, as creatures, tend to become accustomed to luxuries and find it difficult to return to simplicity.

He had been eating the food Su Bai made for two months and, after starting to eat the nutrition meals prepared by the team's chefs again, he even felt a sense of difficulty swallowing. He knew that the food made by the team's chefs was actually at a normal level in terms of taste, but for him, it was difficult to swallow.

These past few days, Wang Shen had been having meals with him. Seeing him struggle while eating, Wang Shen asked a few more questions before realizing this issue. He sighed and said, "With this quirk of yours, you shouldn't be a hurdler, you should be a gourmet critic."

It was also during these days when Su Bai was away that Cui Luoheng realized he had become dependent on the food Su Bai made.

This can't go on.

The outdoor season had just begun, and in the coming months, not only Qiu Wen but also he himself would soon have competitions in other locations. Su Bai was Qiu Wen's coach and could leave the kitchen temporarily to accompany Qiu Wen to competitions. However, Su Bai couldn't travel with him for out-of-town competitions.

Then, what should he do when he needed to compete elsewhere?

He thought this way in his heart, but when he heard someone discussing Su Bai's return, he still ran to Su Bai's side without much thought, then forced out the words "I want to eat."
