Chapter 62: The Grace of Feeding

"Su Yu, Su Yu... take me with you... Don't... don't leave us..." In the crowd, another girl starts to panic. She latches onto Su Yu. She's a classmate of Su Yu's, but they're not particularly close. Their acquaintance doesn't go beyond familiar faces.

Su Yu glances at her and sighs. As his gaze sweeps over the crowd, he notices class reps Lei Rui, Mr. Meng Bo, and many others watching him or Qin Jiagui, Ma Ziye, etc. They all want to join them because, at the very least, they'll have something to eat for now and won't starve.

Observing all this, Su Yu quickly makes up his mind, "No matter if I take her along, what will it change? There are still others who need help here." Stiffening his resolve, he shakes her off and turns away saying, "I'm sorry; there's nothing I can do."
