For dinner, everyone had to go to a large tent surrounded by houses to get it.
Each person only needed to get one portion, and after getting it, they had to register on the side. You could get it for the people in your room, but someone would be watching you when you registered, and you had to write down the names of the other people.
Xiaotian really didn't want to go, so he asked Jiang Dacheng to help bring it, and then Yang Gua and Long Sheng also asked him to do it, and Qi Yan and Kang Ye were not far behind, so in the end they just asked Jiang Dacheng to help get the food.
Half an hour later, Jiang Dacheng came back, carrying only a small plastic bag on his body.
Xiaotian took a look and said, "Where's the meal?"
Jiang Dacheng handed over the plastic bag, "Here, your meal!"
"What?!" Xiaotian's eyes widened like bells, "Is this all we have for the six of us?!"
"One loaf of bread, a bottle of mineral water, and a sausage for each person," Jiang Dacheng said weakly. Xiaotian
was speechless for a moment, staring at the small bag in a daze. Yang Gua and Long Sheng looked at each other and chose to remain silent.
Qi Yan looked at their dejected looks and walked over to open the bag. The bread was the puffed bread, empty inside, and did not satisfy their hunger at all; the sausage was the kind that cost two yuan a piece; and the mineral water was in a small bottle that was finished in two gulps.
With a long sigh, Qi Yan divided the food, tore open the bag of bread and started eating: "Eat it, it will save them money if you don't eat it. We paid so much 'entrance fee', we have to eat it back."
After hearing what Qi Yan said, Yang Gua and Long Sheng also started eating. Jiang Dacheng and Xiaotian were the most angry. They calmed down for a long time before picking up the bread and biting it fiercely.
After eating the ham sausage with the bread, and then drinking the mineral water that could be drunk in two mouthfuls, they just managed to calm down their anger.
"When I got the meal just now, I saw that woman Su Cancan."
Jiang Dacheng suddenly said while lying on the bed.
Everyone else was stunned. Qi Yan and Kang Ye looked at each other, and the emotions in their eyes were clear at a glance.
"She seems to be doing well." Jiang Dacheng said irritably, "How come bad guys are doing well these days? People like us who are honest have to live this kind of life!"
"Tsk, that woman is with a rich man, she must be doing well." Xiaotian sneered, "She has some capital. When I first saw her, I thought she was not particular about trivial matters and could be saved."
Qi Yan packed his luggage and asked casually, "How did she do well?"
"She wears mink clothes. I used to be a coach at a gym. The ladies who came to exercise wore the same mink as her. And she talks differently, she's quite arrogant anyway."
"Oh."
"She was walking into the city. It looked like she was just passing by here. She must live better than us. She's just taking advantage of the situation. Fortunately, she didn't see me. If she had seen me and tried to bully me, we'd be done for."
Jiang Dacheng's funny words drew a burst of laughter. Qi Yan was laughing and found that Kang Ye was also staring at him and smiling.
It was the kind of smile that slightly opened the corners of his mouth, revealing a few white teeth, a delicate and shy smile.
Seeing Qi Yan staring at him, Kang Ye was stunned, and quickly retracted his smile, blinked his eyes, and looked at him.
Qi Yan said softly: "Smile more, you look good when you smile."
"Really?"
"Of course, if you don't believe me, go ask other people."
"No, I do. You like me to smile, so I will smile." After that, Kang Ye grinned and smiled softly again.
Yang Guai, who witnessed all this, turned his head with relief and a hint of sadness, and found that Long Sheng was looking at him without blinking.
"What?"
"I know that you are both relieved that Kang Ye is getting more and more integrated into the team, and sad that you are a single dog."
"I am not a single dog..." Yang Guai twitched his mouth: "I have a wife and a daughter."
"I believe you." Long Sheng nodded and said: "Once, I had a childhood marriage. If the end of the world had not happened, I might have been engaged now, and then I would be ready to start a business, get married, have children, and finally reach the peak of my life."
Yang Guai: "..." You have said this set of words hundreds of times!
Although the living conditions were very poor, everyone in the team slept very soundly that night.
This kind of bed is much more spacious than the upper and lower beds in the RV. You can turn over and sleep in various indecent but comfortable positions.
In the middle of the night, Qi Yan, who always had a light sleep, was awakened by the sporadic sounds beside the bed. He opened one eye and found that Kang Ye was sitting beside his bed with something in his hand.
Qi Yan opened his eyes suddenly, propped up his upper body, and said in a light voice: "What's wrong?"
"Here." Kang Ye said, and pushed the thing in his hand to Qi Yan.
Qi Yan lowered his head and found that it was the bread and sausage given to Kang Ye today.
"Why didn't you eat it?" Qi Yan asked in surprise. How come he didn't know that Kang Ye had secretly hidden the food.
"I don't need to eat, you're hungry." Kang Ye tore open the bag of bread and put the bread to Qi Yan's mouth: "Eat."
In an instant, an indescribable emotion exploded in his chest. Qi Yan felt his nose sour, lingering with the smell of the essence on the bread, but at this moment it had a different taste.
Taking the bread, Qi Yan opened his mouth and ate it bite by bite, tears filled his eyes and swirled for a long time.
"Don't keep it next time. To avoid suspicion from others, you have to eat it."
"I'm fine. I'm not very hungry. I don't eat much."
"You're too stupid. You're too stupid to throw away."
Tears finally flowed down his cheeks. Qi Yan had no time to wipe them. He let the tears flow to the corners of his mouth. With the slightly salty tears and the sweet bread, Qi Yan finally gave up.
So far, only this goal has brought too much shock to himself.
After eating the bread, Qi Yan looked at Kang Ye with eyes that no longer shed tears, and chuckled: "I just said so much, did you remember it?"
"Yeah." Kang Ye nodded, stretched out his hand, and wiped the tear marks on his face: "Don't cry."
"If I don't cry, you have to eat." Qi Yan demanded.
Kang Ye pursed his lips and said with a tangled look: "It's a waste for me to eat."
"You have to eat it anyway." Qi Yan said firmly.
Qi Yan asked so, Kang Ye nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
[Kang Ye's favorability towards Qi Yan +5, current favorability: 85]
Kang Ye has no opinion of his own, he depends on Qi Yan, just as Qi Yan depends on him. It was said a long time ago that Kang Ye was looking for a reason to survive, for what and for whom to survive.
Then, Kang Ye chose Qi Yan, and Qi Yan chose him.
When being with Qi Yan, the most common words Kang Ye said were probably "I'll listen to you."
I'll listen to you in everything, do whatever you say, go wherever you say.
- So, don't abandon me, I want to follow you for the rest of my life.
