Chapter 5, I will just take a look
Do not look at me, you cannot eat anymore, there will be no portion left for you next.
Don't, I'm afraid you won't be able to resist eating raw meat
Not delicious
Why do you still have so much meat
It is impossible, I am not foolish
A person on the verge of starvation is the daughter of a wealthy tycoon, and this stark contrast is simply unacceptable
Do not say anything; it is impossible to give it to you
Gao Yuan did not pay any attention to Luo Xingyu, for at this moment, no reasoning would be of any use. In front of someone who is truly on the verge of starvation, the act of having food yet refusing to share it is devoid of any justification.
Indeed, in such a disaster that has claimed the lives of so many, it is inappropriate to mention family and friends
Is it done
A bowl of porridge was quickly finished, and then Luo Xingyu licked her lips, gazing eagerly at Gao Yuan
Although her expression was unreadable, Gao Yuan could tell from Luo Xingyu's awkward demeanor that he had exposed her intentions
Gao Yuan remained silent for a long time, and finally spoke in a low voice: "Ham is dead, and the pipe... I don't know. He wanted to go home to check on the situation at home. Not long after we parted ways, the aliens released an electromagnetic storm, and since then we have lost contact. He still hasn't shown up, and I guess he is probably dead too."
What should I say
Gao Yuan struggled to finish the wild boar meat. It was indeed unpalatable, but at this moment, one could not afford to be picky. Just look at Luo Xingyu; she wore a look of both resentment and satisfaction even while watching others eat.
Losing a loved one is an emotional matter, but eating is an instinct ingrained in our genetic makeup
After ten minutes, Gao Yuan once again picked up the lunchbox. Then, under the extremely expectant gaze of Luo Xingyu, Gao Yuan opened the lid of the lunchbox but placed it on the stone slab beside him
Luo Xingyu was taken aback and opened his mouth wide. Gao Yuan said softly: "Survival, or rather the preparations made for survival, is actually a hobby for people like us. All three of us enjoy the outdoors. Ever since we accidentally discovered this abandoned mountain village, it has become a place we visit every year. Each time we come, we bring useful items to Tibet."
Two or three pots used for stewing meat were hung on the rack, the meat was placed inside, and the fire was ignited
Luo Xingyu, with her eyes fixed on the lunchbox, appeared somewhat stunned; she stared blankly at Gao Yuan, looking quite astonished
After finishing his meat, Gao Yuan stood up and said to Luo Xingyu: "Come with me, I will give you something good."
Never underestimate the level of a starving person's desire for food
I suddenly remembered a question, which is that money is no longer useful now
The 7-8 pot lunch box is very useful for cooking, especially when the lid is closed, it resembles a small pressure cooker
Gao Yuan greatly admires his own foresight. He is now very certain that if he had just handed the scalding porridge to Luo Xingyu, she would have dared to swallow it all in one go. In that case, she would either be severely burned or at least suffer some skin damage. Furthermore, if he had not forced Luo Xingyu to finish the porridge with a spoon, even if it were not so hot anymore, swallowing it all at once would still be unbearable for her stomach, even if her mouth remained unharmed.
Gao Yuan let out a long sigh, then smiled and said: "I was almost defeated by the enormous gap in identity and status; I had already begun to hold you in great respect."
The moment the meat was placed inside, Luo Xingyu thought of nothing else; her eyes were fixated on the two or three pots.
How can you be like this...
In the face of death, everyone is truly equal, and this equality implies that anyone's family may experience loss. Therefore, in the end times, it is considered basic etiquette not to inquire about others' family members or friends
Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "It was not achieved in one go; the three of us spent four years, coming here twice each year, to accumulate some things here."
Luo Xingyu said softly: "But you are still calling them"
I think it should be fine now
I will just watch, only watching you eat
Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, it's all yours, but you cannot eat it just yet"
Why does Luo Xingyu still look like a starving ghost even after having eaten something?
What happened
Gao Yuan finally put the meat into his mouth, but soon, he frowned.
Gao Yuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, saying: "It really tastes terrible, both fishy and pungent."
Well, I don't mind if it's not tasty
Gao Yuan stared blankly at Luo Xingyu, while Luo Xingyu looked at Gao Yuan with calmness
It is merely a habit, or perhaps I am unwilling to acknowledge reality, or maybe I still harbor a glimmer of hope that the pipe will come to meet me
Luo Xingyu blinked and then said helplessly, "Everyone is equal..."
Some things need not be said, as everyone understands them
It is very hard, difficult to bite, indeed quite unpalatable
Food is the panacea for a person on the brink of starvation, capable of curing even psychological trauma without exception
Gao Yuan felt deeply moved, very much so, and so did Luo Xingyu, who shared the same sentiment
A disaster has restructured social hierarchies and order; otherwise, Gao Yuan would never have had the opportunity to rescue the daughter of a wealthy man, and Luo Xingyu might never have looked at him directly in this lifetime
Luo Xingyu took the lunchbox, and at least she did not forget Gao Yuan's warning; she simply used a spoon to scoop the porridge and bring it to her mouth.
I have eaten it before; wild boar meat is quite delicious
Not delicious? Impossible!
After a moment of contemplation, Gao Yuan took out a box of compressed biscuits from his PSK waist pouch
Luo Xingyu said with a sense of wonder: "I am still very curious, even if you are a survivalist, how did you manage to bring in all those things from the radio station? Can you really carry them all by yourself?"
Luo Xingyu involuntarily opened her mouth, staring intently at Gao Yuan. When Gao Yuan put the meat into his mouth, she couldn't help but lean slightly forward.
It is still somewhat hot, but it will not burn anyone. Therefore, Gao Yuan took out a folding spoon from his bag, opened it, and placed it in the lunch box
Luo Xingyu nodded vigorously, then continued to stare at the lunchbox
The compressed biscuits have transformed into porridge, emanating an enticing aroma, and within the porridge made from the dissolved biscuits, there are also several pieces of meat.
The water quickly came to a boil, and Luo Xingyu was intently focused on the lunch box, while Gao Yuan was fixated on Luo Xingyu
It must be acknowledged that Luo Xingyu is a very intelligent and considerate girl
Gao Yuan said seriously: "For your own good, you haven't had a full meal in a long time. If I let you eat freely, do you believe you could eat yourself to death?"
Don't say anything more. It pains me enough to take out the compressed biscuits. There is ready meat that I won't let you eat, yet I make you consume the precious, long-lasting, life-saving compressed biscuits. It's only because I'm worried you might harm yourself. Fine, if you don't want to see me eat, go wander somewhere else.
Luo Xingyu was shocked
Luo Xingyu sighed as she looked up at the sky. Although she could not see the alien spaceship behind the clouds, she continued to gaze at the spot where the spaceship should be.
Luo Xingyu said softly: "What use is money? At this point, you are the real wealthy one."
He lifted the lunchbox, and under the extremely expectant gaze of Luo Xingyu, Gao Yuan said very seriously: "This is for you, but I warn you that you must eat with a spoon. If you dare to lift the lunchbox and pour it directly into your mouth, I will snatch your lunchbox away and not let you eat. Do you understand?"
Let's talk about something else
Gao Yuan cruelly dispelled Luo Xingyu's fantasies while putting the cabbage into the meat soup
How I eat is my business; you need not think about it today, just watch.
The stone slab is quite cool, which allows the lunchbox to cool down a bit faster. After enduring ten difficult minutes under the urging of Luo Xingyu, Gao Yuan, who had remained silent the entire time, once again reached out to touch the lunchbox
Luo Xingyu looked at Gao Yuan with a pitiful expression, and Gao Yuan helplessly said: "Do not forget what I have said, all actions must follow orders"
Gao Yuan helplessly said: "Boiled in plain water, with only salt as seasoning, it would be strange if it tasted good."
Why can't it be eaten
Whenever she sees food, Luo Xingyu's eyes light up, but this time, Gao Yuan did not give her the cookies
Still unable to help but complain a little, because Luo Xingyu was truly too hungry
It is really not delicious
That is because after eating a little something, it merely serves as a base, and one will only feel hungrier.
It should be fine now
Gao Yuan used a stick to lift a lunchbox, opened the lid, and removed most of the meat chunks inside, then placed two small pieces of compressed biscuits into the lunchbox
Don't be ridiculous, your father is a person on the rich list, with a fortune of at least several hundred billion, right? My monthly salary is 5,000, and you, as the daughter of Luo Guodong, if I insist on saying that our statuses are the same, that would be self-deception
Luo Xingyu looks like she is about to cry, as she must have recalled something
Luo Xingyu swallowed hard, with a pleading expression, and said: "I'm not afraid of it being hot! Can I eat it slowly?"
It is so delicious, um, it is so delicious
Understood, understood
Too hot
Gao Yuan took the lunchbox and used the chopsticks he carved from a wooden stick to pick up a piece of meat
Gao Yuan himself does not eat, nor does he have any intention of letting Luo Xingyu eat
How about roasting it to eat
Gao Yuan picked up a small piece of meat and placed it in Luo Xingyu's lunchbox. After Luo Xingyu eagerly put it in her mouth, she suddenly frowned as well
I do not believe you, you do not need to deceive me, I know you mean well, but you do not need to deceive me, I just want to see you without pretending
Luo Xingyu looked at Gao Yuan in confusion, and Gao Yuan smiled, saying, "It will be ready to eat soon."
Well, let's start stewing the pork; we will be able to eat it soon
Luo Xingyu could no longer hold back, but she felt embarrassed to ask Gao Yuan. After enduring for a long time, she finally said: "Is it still not possible?"
Therefore, it is better not to say anything at all, nor to provide any explanations
I am waiting for you here
How insightful, and what about the other two individuals
Looking at Luo Xingyu, Gao Yuan suddenly realized a problem: Luo Xingyu had not eaten anything proper for a long time; she was truly starving.
Gao Yuan handed over the lunch box
