Sudden Closeness

When Zhang Yulan saw An Xuyuan, she waved and greeted him, "Good morning, An Xuyuan."

An Xuyuan nodded and replied, "Good morning."

As he reached them, Zhang Ermu glanced at the back seat of An Xuyuan's bicycle and asked, "Vice team leader, what did you bring?"

"I prepared breakfast and lunch, but I didn't know you were coming, so I only made enough for me and your sister," An Xuyuan replied.

Hearing this, Zhang Ermu nodded and said, "We brought our own food. No need to trouble yourself."

Noticing the faint hostility from him, An Xuyuan was momentarily confused. Thinking it might be about the wheat, he didn't dwell on it and simply replied, "It's no trouble. I ate your sister's lunch yesterday so I am just returning the favor."

Before Zhang Ermu could say anything, Zhang Yulan pointed at the waterskin and said, "An Xuyuan, I prepared your water for you. When you go back later, just take the waterskin with you. It's yours."
