Yuan Yuxue slowly looked at the Heavenly Master Sword again: "..."
Following his gaze, the child also looked over. He blinked his eyes, and although he said nothing, he inexplicably showed a hint of anticipation, like a baby bird begging for food in a bird's nest.
Tianshi Jian was silent for a moment, and suddenly found this scene really funny.
Obviously, the two people are very different, but when being looked at, Tianshi Jian always feels that there are some subtle points of overlap.
He didn't laugh at all, and said with a slightly restrained expression: "Since we're here, let's eat something first."
Yuan Yuxue was originally planning to leave, but the arrival of Jie Zhouyan and the others disrupted her plan. After hearing this, she hesitated for a moment, nodded, and followed him in.
The supplies in Shelter No. 9 are more abundant, but they are just the same old things, and the most stored staple food is instant noodles.
Tianshi Jian himself was not hungry, so he asked for the opinions of several other people and prepared a midnight snack according to the number of people.
Jie Zhouyan didn’t eat—as expected.
Xiao Zi said that he had been hungry for a long time. He had a big appetite, so he prepared two buckets of instant noodles.
Prepare another bucket of instant noodles for the kid, that’s about it.
Tianshi Jian's gaze fell on Yuan Yuxue again, and his questioning voice seemed to be slightly lower and gentler.
"… Need not."
Yuan Yuxue paused for a moment and answered calmly.
"good."
So in the end, we only had to prepare food for three people—Xiao Zi could do the work of two.
The food was quite plain, nothing fancy, just three buckets of instant noodles, plastic-sealed vegetable instant food packets, and two sausages.
The instant noodles were brewed in the hot water that was not boiling, and the aroma flowed out. The little girl sat on a slightly low stool, and had to stand up straight and tilt her head slightly to reach the food.
The table was too high for her... but it worked.
Because they don't often eat this kind of food, children are not very skilled in using forks.
Her hands seemed to be soft, and she could hardly hold the plastic fork. Even if she held it clumsily, the noodles would slide off the soft fork because of the tilted angle.
But it was nice here, no one would scold her for being stupid because of this. She would not have her food snatched away for eating too slowly, or have her tableware taken away early - so after the initial nervousness, the child looked around and found that everyone was very calm and casual, especially after Yuan Yuxue was still around, her sense of security suddenly increased, and she began to slowly continue eating noodles.
But soon, she became uneasy again.
She noticed that Xiao Zi across from her had quickly finished both buckets of noodles, even the soup from the hot water. She was the only one left, moving slowly, which was very strange.
The child always feels that if he continues, he will miss something important. Time is precious.
But she didn't want to waste food, so she quickened her pace. The thick and spicy soup choked her throat, causing her to start coughing violently. Her face turned blue and she couldn't breathe.
Yuan Yuxue's reaction was faster than anyone else. His hand immediately covered the child's back and patted it gently. However, Yuan Yuxue soon thought of a more effective way. The energy silently flowed through the touching hand.
