"Huh?" Ji Xian finally found the root of the problem. It seemed it wasn't just psychological; he really needed to eat. But then Ji Xian quickly thought of something else. "Didn't you also use a gene enhancement drug today? Aren't you hungry?"

Xia Luoxue said calmly, "I'm hungry."

"Then why are you acting as if nothing happened?"

Xia Luoxue said matter-of-factly, "What's a little hunger? Just bear with it."

"Huh?" Ji Xian exclaimed in surprise again, "How could you possibly hold back?" His voice lacked confidence.

"What's the big deal? We've been doing this all these years, haven't we?"

Xia Luoxue spoke as matter-of-factly as ever, her words silencing Ji Xian completely.

Although it was just a simple sentence, only Xia Luoxue herself probably knew the hardships involved.

Ji Xian sighed, "Oh, that won't do. You're still growing. If you don't get enough nutrition, it will have a big impact on your future development. Besides, if you starve yourself like this, you won't get enough nutrition, and the gene enhancement drug will be wasted."

Xia Luoxue shook her head blankly: "I don't know."

Ji Xian returned the stolen food to Xia Luoxue.

"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back."

Xia Luoxue looked at Ji Xian with a puzzled expression, wanting to go out with him.

Ji Xian held up one finger and shook it: "Don't follow me."

"Oh." Xia Luoxue finally sat down obediently and continued to enjoy her food.

Ji Xian left the room with his hiking backpack.

There weren't many people in the hotel. The population of the post-apocalyptic world was already small, so it was impossible to accommodate many people.

Perhaps this entire hotel, which is so big, is only occupied by Ji Xian and Xia Luoxue.

Fortunately, the hotel was not crowded and there were no security cameras installed. Ji Xian disappeared around the corner of the corridor with his backpack.

Not long after, Ji Xian reappeared at the vanishing point.

I walked towards the room.

Upon entering the room, I was surprised to see Xia Luoxue licking a lunchbox.

Ji Xian was both amused and exasperated.

He put down his backpack and took out food items one by one.

Self-heating hot pot, instant noodles, ham sausage, bread, biscuits, shrimp chips, potato chips, and yogurt.

Xia Luoxue stared at Ji Xian's hands as he took things out of his backpack one by one, her eyes practically popping out of her head.
