Her stomach was constantly sending signals of hunger, but Gu Mian kept her eyes tightly shut, pretending not to hear anything.
"Gu..."
"Gu..."
"well……"
Frustrated, Gu Mian rubbed her hair and finally got up with a messy head of hair.
Wash your face, brush your teeth, and drink a glass of warm water to refresh yourself.
After a series of procedures, she finally regained full consciousness.
Her stomach was still growling, reminding her that it was time to eat breakfast.
Take out an egg fryer and quickly fry two eggs and slices of meat. Then take out a toaster and toast the bread slices. Once toasted, put the meat and eggs inside to make a sandwich.
I did a flurry of actions, but when I checked the time, only five minutes had passed.
With a sandwich in her mouth, Gu Mian nestled into the sofa and opened the chat channel.
"[Image] When you reach middle age, you have no choice but to soak goji berries in your thermos."
"Oh, you're starting your health regimen so early in the morning?"
"Ugh, so boring~ So bored. Any girls want to chat about relationships?"
"Tsk tsk, I think what you want to talk about is probably not feelings."
"Hey, you can't just say things like that. How do you know I wasn't talking about feelings?"
"Does anyone sell fruit? I haven't had any for almost ten days."
Why don't you go to the trading market to look for them?
"I've looked, but there isn't a single one for sale!"
"No way, I'll go check it out."
"...Really? What's going on? Even if we can't retrieve the chests now, surely the entire trading market should be empty?"
"It was already rare before; I wouldn't open a shop for ten days or half a month at a time. I basically bought food from the trading market, but now the trading market isn't even selling any..."
"Waaah, I want to eat strawberries, cherries, mangoes, durians, and lychees..."
"Stop thinking about it, go wash up and go to bed, you greedy girl."
"..."
Eating sandwiches alone was a bit dry, so Gu Mian took out a carton of milk and drank a few sips to smooth things out.
Xu Kun: "Are you awake, little sister?"
She had just put down the milk when she saw Xu Kun tagging her in the group chat.
"You're awake. What's wrong?"
Xu Kun: "Want to have hot pot? Lao Bai is getting the ingredients ready."
Gu Mian: "Eat!"
She desperately needs a big meal to recharge!
Xu Kun: "Okay, I'll invite you."
[Player Xu Kun invites you to his raft. Do you agree?]
"yes!"
Before I even opened my eyes, a spicy aroma wafted over me, and my mouth started watering uncontrollably.
"It smells so good!"
"Hehe, smells good, right?" Xu Kun shook his head smugly. "This is my secret recipe for hot pot broth, which most people can't even get their hands on."
Jiang Bai: "Stop bragging, come to the kitchen and take the crispy pork away."
Xu Kun: "Oh, I'm here."
Then he turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Gu Mian followed behind, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"No, no." Xu Kun turned around and pushed Gu Mian to the table. "We've almost finished cooking. Just sit and wait to eat."
Gu Mian: "...Alright then."
I opened the chat channel and continued to peek to pass the time.
Wu Xiulian: "Does anyone sell milk powder? Or milk is fine too, I need it urgently!"
"I have a carton of coconut milk here, do you want it?"
Wu Xiulian: Yes, yes, yes! Is there anything else?
"That's all. What do you need so much milk for?"
"Isn't that a pointless question? If you're not going to drink it, are you going to soak your feet in it?"
"Are you fucking on fire? Why are you talking so aggressively?"
Wu Xiulian: "It's for my daughter to drink. She's too young and can only drink milk."
But the sea is frozen over, and we can't retrieve the box. My daughter hasn't had milk for several days; she can only drink rice porridge and cries from hunger every day. I really don't know what to do.
"Um... no offense, I just want to know how you managed to survive in such a brutal game with a baby?"
Wu Xiulian: "We live with our relatives, several families live together on rafts connected together. We help each other out, so we have managed to survive until now."
"There's strength in numbers!"
Gu Mian clicked on Wu Xiulian's profile picture, which was completely pixelated, indicating that her personal information had been hidden.
"I can send you a few cartons of milk, but I need to make sure you really have a daughter."
She can offer herself kindness, but she doesn't want to be deceived.
Wu Xiulian: "Thank you! Can I take a picture and show it to you?"
Gu Mian: "Okay."
Wu Xiulian: "[Picture] She was so small. Seeing her cry from hunger every day was like a knife cutting into my heart."
The child in the picture looks thin and small, wrapped in a green military overcoat, and appears malnourished.
Many words were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back in the end.
Gu Mian: "Send [Milk*20], hang in there! Live well!"
All I can say is my blessing.
...
"Try these beef balls, I made them by hand!" Xu Kun used a slotted spoon to scoop out two cooked beef balls and put them on a plate, handing them to Gu Mian.
Gu Mian picked up a piece, took a careful bite, and the delicious broth instantly exploded in her mouth.
The meat is tender and springy, and the broth is delicious.
"10 points!"
Gu Mian gave a thumbs-up without hesitation, praising him.
"Hehe." Xu Kun chuckled twice, then deftly scooped up two more and placed them on a plate.
Seeing that he still wanted to keep trying, Gu Mian quickly stopped him: "That's enough, that's enough, I want to eat something else."
"Try this crispy pork."
A plate of crispy pork was pushed in front of her. She looked up and saw Jiang Bai looking at her expectantly.
