During the wait, Yang Jia and Chen Fengzhou kept checking the time and smelling the aroma—it was truly tempting.
When the time was up, both of them swallowed hard but didn't dare to start eating; instead, they looked towards Lu Ruisheng. For some reason, they found Gu Pan approachable, yet there was something slightly intimidating about Lu Ruisheng.
Lu Ruisheng smiled and said, "Go ahead, we're hungry too."
Once he picked up his chopsticks, Yang Jia and Chen Fengzhou started to eat, praising how delicious it was and reminiscing about when they last had such a meal.
Watching them, Gu Pan thought about Cheng Yang, Chen Lang, and Fang Lanlan and how lively it would be if they were here too.
Lu Ruisheng felt the same; he had been with his companions continuously since the apocalypse. The camaraderie they shared over a little more than a year during the apocalypse was more precious than many years of normal times.
