This is when everyone finds a place to sit down and rest.
Chu Ci also got a portion of compressed biscuits.
The snacks and meals at the banquet had been eaten long ago. These were the emergency rations they had prepared to deal with the city inspection.
But I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
Chen Xiao was also given a small piece of biscuit, but Zhao Jinhuai didn't get any because he had some snacks and water in his backpack.
He didn't mind, and his amber eyes blinked as he looked around.
He helped Chen Xiao beside him open the bag of compressed biscuits and then handed it to her. Looking at her eating anxiously with her head down, Chu Ci's eyes fell on Zhao Jinhuai who was sitting obediently beside him.
Noticing Chu Ci's gaze, he turned around, with a hint of panic in his eyes. He pursed his lips slightly, and came out with a timid look. He asked in a low voice, "Sister, I'm so scared. Will you take me away from here?"
If you listen carefully, there seems to be a slight tremor, and his hands are holding the black backpack in his arms.
Chu Ci also paused, opened the bag of compressed biscuits in her hand, broke off a piece with a snap, and stuffed it into Zhao Jinhuai's mouth under his slightly puzzled gaze.
“Hmm…”
Zhao Jinhuai seemed to have not expected Chu Ci to do this. He resisted at first, then paused, and finally let Chu Ci stuff the biscuit into his mouth. The boy's cheeks, which were originally extremely delicate, bulged slightly because of the biscuit.
A pair of amber eyes blink from time to time, looking a little silly and cute.
He unconsciously chewed the biscuits in his mouth, which didn't taste very good. He frowned secretly and looked at Chu Ci, who also lowered her head and took a bite of the compressed biscuits.
Chu Ci didn't look very old, with a fair and tender face covered with some dust. Her body was also covered with dust, but she didn't have the bloodstains like those people over there. She looked like the one being protected.
At this moment, she lowered her head and chewed the biscuits in small bites. Even though she was in a mess, it could not hide the elegance of her movements, which was very beautiful.
Zhao Jinhuai swallowed the biscuit in his mouth.
Chu Ci watched him eat, raised her hand and patted the top of his head, then finally spoke, with a serious expression on her young-looking face, as if to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, we will get out."
The feeling of the touch falling on his head made Zhao Jinhuai's eyes flicker.
Chen Xiao, who was over there, saw Chu Ci's actions and heard Chu Ci's words. She couldn't even eat the half of the biscuit left in her hand. She raised her hand and tugged at Chu Ci's sleeve, her voice still filled with tears, "Doctor, how long do we have to stay here?"
"I'm not sure, but according to the news on the radio, the army should be here soon."
Chu Ci didn't really say anything, but perhaps it was the calmness in her words that made Chen Xiao feel a little relieved. She rubbed her body against Chu Ci again and finished the biscuit. She had been tense for too long, and she pursed her lips slightly and looked up at the stranger opposite her who was holding a black schoolbag and had not spoken a word.
Then he looked at Chu Ci, who was sitting against the wall with her eyes closed, seemingly still recovering her strength.
The little hand raised up and tugged at the corner of Chu Ci's clothes again.
