Resolute

Every time she swallowed, Zhou Yijin felt as though her throat was being cut by a knife.

Ever since she was born, she had never eaten anything that had mud and sand on it. She had never eaten food that had fallen to the ground in her entire life. Today, not only did she swallow the stale bread, but she also swallowed the water that wasn't clean at all. They had purposely added mud to the water.

At first, Liu Le couldn't swallow even a mouthful of bread. However, Ye Jian's beating made her frightened and furious. Her fighting spirit was stimulated. With tears all over her face, she bit the bread that had been stepped on and swallowed it without chewing.

She ate a little and vomited it out.

Ye Jian saw that Liu Le's face was pale from vomiting, but she still finished her bread forcefully. She had been worried that Liu Le wouldn't be able to hold on for long. Looking at her now, Ye Jian felt at ease.
