"Who says we can't take them?"
Zhu Zhu, in front of the several people at the doorway and Xiao Chongyan, directly put all the items in the room into her芥子空间 (Jie Zi Kong Jian - Mustard Seed Space). The second before, Xiao Chongyan was holding shrimp crackers from a box, and the next second, only the ones in his hand remained.
Zhu Zhu said as if it were natural, "We found these first, so they're all ours. Let's go."
Xiao Chongyan froze for two seconds, then burst out laughing. He felt extreme joy and excitement in his heart, stood up, walked to Zhu Zhu's side, and happily responded, "Mm, let's go."
[Task target's dark value -5, current dark value 84.]
Hearing this, Zhu Zhu also felt a little better.
The two then swaggered to the door, and Xiao Chongyan placed the shrimp crackers in his hand on the table.
"To each his own. These are for you!"
The smug look on the little fellow's face made Zhu Zhu want to reach out and pinch his cheek.
It must be soft and bouncy.
Pinching him would surely make his master glare at her with puffed-up cheeks. Thinking about it was adorable.
After Xiao Chongyan finished speaking, he ignored Xue Jingjing's ashen face and the suppressed anger of the two men behind him, and walked triumphantly past them, leaving the warehouse.
Only when they returned to the main road did his excitement slowly subside, and he noticed something was amiss.
"Where did you hide the food? Do you have a space? Who exactly are you?"
Zhu Zhu looked at his instant change of expression and sighed in her heart, "I am who I am. Why ask so many questions? I do have a space, and the food is in the space. Do you want to eat now?"
Xiao Chongyan was about to ask how to eat raw food, but then remembered that if she had a space, she might have other food. He then reached out as if it were his right, "Yes!"
"Call me 'Sister' and I'll give it to you."
Xiao Chongyan's mind flashed back to his own identity. In his previous life, after that woman exposed him, his biological father, who had promised to compensate him, immediately severed ties with him.
He wished he had never known him.
In his father's heart, he wasn't even as important as that bad woman who had impersonated him.
He said coldly, "I won't call you that. Give it or not, I don't care."
Sister?
She wasn't worthy!
Zhu Zhu's expression turned grim.
So disobedient.
They had clearly realized that they weren't the same person, so why was he still projecting everything that woman had done onto her?
But thinking about everything he had been through, and that malicious woman who was protected by the Heavenly Dao, she temporarily forgave him.
Zhu Zhu took out a ham sandwich and two bottles of water. "If you don't call me that, then you don't. I'm not your sister anyway. Eat."
I'll make you call me something else later.
Xiao Chongyan found her change of mood strange.
In his memory, this woman was not one to suffer in silence. Why was she indulging him so much now?
What was she planning?
No matter what she was planning, he would never be harmed by her again in this lifetime!
He took the bread, whispered a thank you, and then tore open the sandwich to eat.
Man cannot live by air alone. He had been particularly hungry for the past two days, and his stomach had been rumbling.
When he was packing things in the warehouse earlier, if the shrimp crackers hadn't been so hard, he would have started gnawing on them directly.
Zhu Zhu watched his eager look and found it strange, "He's eating more than me, why is he so hungry already?"
The system patiently explained, "It should be due to the medicine you gave him earlier. He might be awakening his abilities. Generally, after awakening abilities, one's appetite increases dramatically."
This was probably good news.
If he had abilities, perhaps he wouldn't be so suspicious.
Xiao Chongyan quickly finished one sandwich and was still hungry. If the bread bag weren't so clean, he would have licked it.
Seeing him reluctantly throw away the packaging, Zhu Zhu smiled and took out another one. "I have more, eat it."
Xiao Chongyan looked at her suspiciously. "Aren't you eating?"
"I'm not hungry."
Xiao Chongyan thought she was lying.
She had a space, possibly awakened space abilities. People who awaken abilities experience a surge in appetite and remain hungry even after eating a lot.
Why was she, someone with abilities, eating less than him, who didn't have any? And now she was giving the bread to him?
This didn't make sense.
Was she trying to save the food for herself?
Xiao Chongyan retracted the hand he had reached out. "I won't eat it. You eat it yourself. Let's go back quickly."
They had found so much food today. They could cook when they got back.
He could endure this much time.
Despite wanting to eat, he refused. Zhu Zhu chuckled, "I don't like this kind of thing. I'll eat when we cook back home. You eat it."
Xiao Chongyan swallowed and took the bread.
"Still picky at a time like this? You'll starve to death one day."
