Longmen Base (1)

Everyone inside the car heard Zhao Lin's stomach growl loudly.

Last night, she had barely eaten anything, and now the gnawing hunger was making itself known. She swallowed to moisten her dry throat, trying to ignore the discomfort.

Suddenly, she felt Nanzhi move beside her and place something in her lap. "Eat."

To her surprise, it was two bottles of water, a self-heating spicy chicken-flavored rice, and a peach bun-flavored sandwich. It was the most luxurious meal she had had in a long while!

Zhao Lin's throat tightened as she swallowed again, but she shook her head and pushed it back. She was not like Helen Wu, who had a shameless skin and took everything for granted! Zhao Lin had struggled for every morsel of food she had ever gotten.

"This is too much," she murmured.

"It's not for free," Nanzhi replied, her eyes gleaming with intent. She had been eyeing Zhao Lin's jade bracelet since they had met.
