Not only his pupils, his head seemed to be wrong as well.
Noticing Jiang Mi's gaze, Fang Bo's expression under the veil changed slightly and he subconsciously avoided her sight.
"Have you eaten?" Miao Xi asked casually.
Fang Bo shook his head. Miao Xi looked at Sister Mei and said, "Sister Mei, do we still have some porridge and buns left?"
Liu Ximei got up early in the morning to steam the buns. Since it is not possible to achieve self-circulating water now, Liu Ximei tried to find a way to make some rice that does not consume too much water.
Steaming buns and steamed buns not only uses less water but also does not dirty the pots and pans. The water used for steaming can also be drunk as boiled water, which is the ultimate in saving money.
However, although they are economical, the buns do not contain any water, and they include both meat and vegetables, and the taste is very good. Xiaofei and her friends can only eat two or three meat buns as big as an adult's fist with a small bowl of porridge, but Lulu, who is just a small girl, can eat four by herself and also have a bowl of porridge. She is truly a big eater.
When Liu Ximei heard Miao Xi ask this, she wiped her hands on her apron and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, I'll get it right away."
After saying that, he quickly walked towards the kitchen.
"This way." Jiang Mi withdrew his gaze and turned to walk towards the cleaned-up reception room.
As soon as a few people sat down in the room, Liu Ximei walked in with a plate of buns and a bowl of steaming porridge.
When the plump white buns and steaming white porridge were placed on the table in front of Fang Bo, he was completely stunned.
The mixed aroma of rice porridge and steamed buns kept drilling into his nose. What he used to regard as ordinary food now made him feel like he was dreaming.
"Let's eat something first, and then we'll talk." Miao Xi said softly.
Her voice brought Fang Bo back to his senses. He subconsciously raised his hand to take the buns, but stopped the action the next second as if he thought of something.
He said in an extremely difficult voice: "No need, I just came to take a look at your base and strength."
Jiang Mi glanced at his ears inconspicuously and said calmly, "You dare not take off your mask because your body has been deformed after you became a superpower user."
As soon as these words came out, Fang Bo's face suddenly changed. He clenched his hands under the table into fists. He stared at Jiang Mi for a moment before saying hoarsely, "So what?"
"Nothing." Jiang Mi shook his head. "I just want to tell you that we won't be prejudiced against your distortion. After all, if you really join us, Dawn, then we will be comrades fighting side by side."
"So, you can enjoy this meal with peace of mind. You probably haven't had a hot meal in a long, long time, right?"
After hearing her words, Fang Bo's eyes flashed with struggle. He lowered his head for a while before he raised his right hand and gently placed it on the mask.
But then he stopped moving. Miao Xi, Jiang Mi and others did not urge him and just waited quietly.
After a while, Fang Bo seemed to have finally made up his mind, and he pulled down the mask with a little force.
When that face was exposed in front of everyone, even Jiang Mi couldn't help but shrink his pupils.
What appeared before everyone was a man who seemed to have no ears. The places where his ears should have been on both sides of his head seemed to have melted. Twisted flesh and blood covered his jaw, and even his neck had swelled a lot.
On the bright red skin were hideous, crisscrossing purple-black blood vessels, which were spreading towards his cheeks, with the nearest one almost reaching under his right eye.
The corners of his mouth were twisted abnormally by the melting flesh and blood, looking extremely terrifying.
Miao Xi suppressed his pounding heart, stared at him closely and said word by word: "Is this the price of your advancement?"
Fang Bo looked up at her, nodded silently, and said hoarsely, "A month ago, I suddenly gained superpowers after a high fever, but I found that my ears had melted. At first, I could hardly see the shape of my ears, and gradually, like melting ice cream, the blood and flesh began to flow on my face."
"Later," he raised his hand and touched his cheek, "the melting area began to expand, and the blood vessels in my neck also began to mutate..."
Jiang Mi couldn't help but frowned, "In just one month, the deformation has developed to this extent?"
Her eyes fell on the black blood vessel under Fang Bo's right eye. She suspected that if he continued, his right eye might also be affected.
In his previous life, his brother's deformation also gradually spread throughout his body, but the speed was not as fast as Fang Bo's.
If, as he said, it was just his ears melting at first, it couldn't have become so serious in a month. It would have taken at least three months to develop into what it is now.
But now, if things continue to develop at this pace, Fang Bo can only live for half a year at most!
Jiang Mi's mind was racing with thoughts, but he didn't show anything on his face. He said calmly, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat first. The food will get cold soon."
Miao Xi stopped talking, but his expression was very complicated.
She and Xing Shaoan can almost be said to be childhood sweethearts. Even though they were separated for a few years when they were young, their later reunion did not change their friendship. She loved Fang Bo and took good care of her younger brother.
Although Fang Bo is a bit rebellious, he is not annoying and he is clear-headed on major issues. Therefore, Miao Xi does have some genuine sisterly love for him.
Now seeing him fall to this state and being unable to do anything about it, I feel a little sad.
"Eat quickly. If it's not enough, there's something else." Miao Xi said softly.
Fang Bo silently lowered his head, picked up the bowl and took a sip. The porridge was no longer scalding hot, but warm and very palatable. After taking a sip, he felt as if his body was warmed up.
He picked up a big bun and took a bite. He tasted the meat filling at the first bite. The delicious juice soaked the soft bun skin. The fragrance was so delicious that it could make people dizzy.
Fang Bo chewed silently, his eyes slightly red as he lowered his face.
He didn't eat slowly, but it was obvious that he took every bite seriously, chewing slowly as if trying to retain the flavor.
Putting down the empty bowl, Fang Bo raised his sleeve to wipe his mouth and looked at Jiang Mi and Miao Xi, "I'm done eating."
After that, he paused for a moment and whispered, "Thank you."
This was the best meal he had had since the end of the world.
Even if he will never eat it again in the future, this meal will be enough for him to savor for a long time.
"Then let's go."
Jiang Mi stood up and walked out first, followed closely by Miao Xi.
After the three of them walked out of the reception room, Xiao Fei, who was hiding at the other end of the corridor, quickly retracted her head and made a hushing gesture to Lulu and Mingyu who were peeking at them.
"Don't talk." She whispered.
Lulu looked up at her, blinked her eyes and whispered, "Sister Xiaofei, is that person here to join us?"
Xiao Fei touched her head and thought: "If nothing goes wrong, it should be him, and it won't just be him. There will be many brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts coming."
Mingyu was happy at first, but then he couldn't help but worry: "But what if they are bad guys?"
"With your sister Miao and sister Jiang and brother Jiang, any bad guys will be driven away, don't worry!" Xiao Fei also rubbed his head, "Xiao Yu, your hair has grown long again, it's time to cut it." (End of this chapter)
