Xi Zhan left the ward, and I was starving. In the late night, I didn’t think there would be any restaurant still open for business.
I don't know where Xi Zhan had gone, but I waited patiently in the ward. About half an hour later, Xi Zhan appeared in the ward with a blue lunch box in his right hand and a glass of milk in his left hand.
He handed me the milk first. I took it and felt it was still warm. As I opened the glass and took a sip, he opened the lunch box.
Inside, there were a yam shop stewed with spareribs,
and a bowl of rice.
Xi Zhan made half a bowl of rice and added some soup into the bowl before giving it to me. I gave him back the milk glass and finished eating within two minutes.
Seeing me gobbling the food, Xi Zhan asked me: "So hungry?"
I handed him the bowl. "Well, I haven't had anything today but a glass of milk at noon. One more bowl of rice! "
Xi Zhan gave me the other bowl of rice.
