Pan Shu didn't care about her embarrassment, she took the red fruit and stuffed it into her mouth greedily.
Suddenly, her expression changed, and her features wrinkled together, "So sour..."
The little boy in front of her, who is as beautiful as a fairy, is Wang Shuzhi's beloved youngest son, and also her original body's nominal younger brother, Xie Chen.
Oh, and it’s still her target.
But he is still a little kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, so it is impossible for Pan Shu to have any other thoughts about him.
Xiao Xiechen looked at her quietly for a while, "You are so lazy."
"Why am I lazy?" Pan Shu was dissatisfied. She was so hungry that she didn't even have the strength to move her fingers. She muttered, "If you were starved for three days, you wouldn't be able to move. Maybe your vitality is not as strong as mine. You might have died long ago..."
"What is death?"
"Death means..." Pan Shu paused, "Is there anything left to eat?"
Seeing that Xie Chen didn't answer, Pan Shu hugged the fair and tender boy into her arms, buried her head in the crook of his neck and took a deep breath, "We're all fleeing from famine, so why do you smell so good and your flesh is so tender? You must have eaten a lot of good food..."
Little Xie Chen pushed her away expressionlessly, his delicate little face staring at her seriously, "What is death? Tell me, and I'll give you something to eat."
Panshu's eyes lit up.
"Death," she thought for a moment, "means saying goodbye to this world."
Little Xie Chen gradually became less resistant to her embrace and just sniffed his little nose, "You stink! You're not only lazy but you also don't like to take a bath."
"I want to take a shower, but where is the water? Water is so scarce..." Pan Shu licked her cracked lips. She has always been clean, but after hearing what Xie Chen said, her cheeks felt a little hot.
"Saying goodbye to this world? That's great." He nodded like a grown-up. "Then after you die, you can go somewhere else. There should be food, water, and a house there. If I die, would you like me to take you with me?"
Although only seven years old, his expression revealed wisdom and maturity.
Pan Shu said with a smile, "Then when the time comes, I will definitely beg you to take me up there with me so we can live a good life."
Xie Chen said nothing.
He carefully took out a small cloth bag from the pocket of his clean, well-fitting clothes.
It's bulging, probably full of food.
Pan Shu's eyes turned green when she saw this.
She felt that she had to cling to Xiao Xie Chen's thighs so that she wouldn't have to go hungry.
Although the original body cared about Xie Chen, his relationship with Xie Chen was not very good, and Wang Shuzhi had always been unwilling for the original body to get close to her own biological son.
It's worse than saying they are strangers.
"Here you go." Xiao Xiechen looked around seriously and secretly stuffed a small piece of naan into Panshu's palm. "Eat it quickly, don't let anyone see."
He pursed his lips.
A pair of sweet dimples appeared on her fair cheeks.
It was completely different from his noble and delicate face.
Pan Shu looked into his pair of dark, narrow phoenix eyes. Perhaps because his face was too small, his eyes seemed a little bigger. If he grew older, who knew what kind of enchanting and charming person he would become.
Panshu held the cold naan tightly.
She didn't feel like eating it and wanted to save it for the next time when she couldn't stand the hunger anymore.
I don’t know if it’s because her stomach has lost consciousness due to the sour red fruit or what, but Panshu is not that hungry now, so she wants to keep the cake. Otherwise, what if she starves to death next time?
But little Xie Chen grabbed her hand and said stubbornly in a childish voice, "No, you have to eat now."
Pan Shu raised her eyes and met the eager gazes of a group of people, and she understood everything.
He sighed, stuffed the naan into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.
If she doesn't eat now.
Then she will be the one who suffers.
If those equally starving people knew that Pan Shu had food on her, how could her frail body protect it? If her food was stolen, it would be a blessing from heaven if she didn't get bullied!
In the real world, Pan Shu is a wealthy lady who spends money like water.
In addition, although she has passed through so many worlds, her status in each world is not prominent, but she has no worries about food and drink.
This is the first time I have fallen into a situation where even having a full stomach is a luxury.
Her common sense of survival is not as good as that of a seven-year-old kid.
Was it the environment or was Xie Chen simply too precocious and intelligent? Pan Shu had no way of knowing.
"Go to sleep."
Xie Chen slipped out of her arms. He stood beside Ban Shu and looked at her for a while, then lay down silently on the haystack on the other side.
Should I say it was Wang Shuzhi's eyeballs.
The original body slept on a thin straw mat.
Xie Chen’s is a thick, soft straw stack that bounces back when you lie on it.
It must be very comfortable, Pan Shu thought silently.
Panshu lamented.
I feel like I am filled with hatred and resentment towards the rich.
The next day, Wang Shuzhi beat Pan Shu with a stick. Pan Shu opened her cold and stern eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"
Wang Shuzhi was frightened by her look.
She slammed the stick down, put her hands on her hips, and started yelling, "You lazy girl, are you rebelling? It's already noon, and you're still sleeping around waiting for me to feed you? Why don't you get up and work for me?!"
Pan Shu silently got up and spread her hands, "Where's the meal?"
"If you feed me, I will work for you."
This team heading to the Dawn Base together has a management organization.
The manager would organize people to hunt or pick fruits and eat tree bark every day. All the food would be collected and distributed to everyone.
The original body worked very hard.
She participated in the labor, so logically she should have her own food.
But the share issued to the original owner was all withheld by Wang Shuzhi.
The original body only worked and had nothing to eat, so you can imagine how bad his health must be!
Wang Shuzhi choked and frowned in a boastful manner, "Well, I've provided you with good food and drink for over a decade, and now you, an ungrateful bastard, won't listen, right?!"
Pan Shu didn't say anything.
She walked to the tall man not far away, raised her dirty little face and said, "I can work. But you have to give me food, not her."
The man put away the paper and pen in surprise. His name was Chen Wei. He was a university professor before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, he became the leader of this escape team and was responsible for counting food every day.
"She's your mother."
Chen Wei met the girl's clear, watery eyes and shook his head slowly, "You are too young to keep the food."
