Peng Yan Sheng wanted to push Wen Shang Sheng away, but seeing how sad and upset the other person seemed.
Thinking of this, Peng Yan Sheng looked at Su Ling and Shang Qi. They were probably being severely reprimanded by these two.
Being scolded in front of so many people was a blow to a man's pride.
Thus, Peng Yan Sheng, who had intended to push Wen Shang Sheng away, found himself in a dilemma.
If he pushed him away, it would make him seem lacking in team spirit.
If he didn't, the glances from people around them made him wish he could explain the situation with a loudspeaker.
But in reality, he could do nothing.
He stood rigidly in place like a stone sculpture, letting Wen Shang Sheng lean on his shoulder to compose himself.
After the skinny and fat men took the seafood to the mess hall, they returned with Gu Shang Se and the others.
As soon as they reached the eaves, they saw Wen Shang Sheng leaning on Peng Yan Sheng's shoulder, his back to them.
Upon seeing this, the skinny and fat men exchanged glances, and both saw curiosity and a desire for gossip in each other's eyes.
Wen Shang Sheng had adjusted his emotions sufficiently. He lifted his head from Peng Yan Sheng's shoulder and looked at him with disdain, saying, "Your shoulder bones are too prominent, they really dig into me."
Peng Yan Sheng: "???"
So he was used, then discarded, and even met with disdain?
After showing disdain for Peng Yan Sheng, Wen Shang Sheng turned and looked at Gu Shang Se, "Fourth Brother, can we eat now?"
He was hungry.
Gu Shang Se grunted in affirmation, "Yes."
Hearing that they could eat, Wen Shang Sheng, who was starving, walked towards Gu Shang Se, "Then Fourth Brother, shall we go to the mess hall?"
This carefree individual had no idea the shock he had caused everyone.
The skinny and fat men had initially thought Wen Shang Sheng and Peng Yan Sheng were like them, but seeing Wen Shang Sheng's behavior, they knew they had overthought it. However, they found Wen Shang Sheng's actions hard to comprehend.
Su Ling watched Wen Shang Sheng leave with Gu Shang Se, a slight smile playing on her lips. She looked at Shang Qi, who was also looking at her.
As their gazes met, Shang Qi's eyes were gentle, "What has made you so happy? Tell me about it."
Su Ling's eyes curved slightly, "Your brother is a bit dense."
Shang Qi grunted and extended his hand to Su Ling, "Come, let's enjoy our seafood feast."
Hailstones began to fall not long after Su Ling and the others arrived at the mess hall.
No matter how hard it hailed, it did not dampen Su Ling and their enthusiasm for eating.
The lunch was very rich, with the addition of seafood brought back by Su Ling and Shang Qi.
To celebrate the joining of Peng Yan Sheng and the others, drinks were specially served.
Alcohol was out of the question; drinking was forbidden as it could lead to mistakes.
The atmosphere was harmonious, filled with laughter and joy.
Since confessing her feelings to Gu Shang Se, Lin En Xin was almost always where Gu Shang Se was.
Even though Gu Shang Se had clearly stated he didn't like her, Lin En Xin remained steadfast in her resolve.
Seeing that Lin En Xin wouldn't be persuaded, Gu Shang Se simply stopped paying attention to this stubborn young girl.
Lin En Xin was both action-oriented and rational. Once she made a decision, she wouldn't easily waver unless she hit a dead end.
She simply liked Gu Shang Se, and becoming stronger in the apocalypse and winning over Gu Shang Se were equally important to her.
The others were already aware of Lin En Xin's feelings for Gu Shang Se. They didn't tease her, but they were curious about how long it would take Lin En Xin to change Gu Shang Se's perception of her and for him to accept the younger sister he had personally rejected.
Among the personnel stationed at the outpost, some harbored subtle affections for Lin En Xin.
However, seeing Lin En Xin sticking to Gu Shang Se like a shadow, they guessed her feelings and abandoned their own thoughts.
