"Liora," Zhou Yinuo's gentle voice broke through her thoughts. "Don't."
Liora turned her head, and Zhou Yinuo shook her head slightly. "It won't do us any good," she said quietly, her voice barely above a whisper. "They have power in the base. If you offend them, our lives will only get worse."
Zhou Yinuo could guess that Liora's temper was already very short, and she was not used to doing any labor. Even she could feel that the base officers were deliberately creating trouble for them. She was starting to feel a little bit of anger herself, and so was Liora. But she couldn't allow her to be reckless.
Liora exhaled slowly, forcing herself to calm down. Fine. Fine. She could endure this. But only for now.
