Xu Qian freed one hand to pinch his ear, and said with a smile:
"I've already prepared yours, it's under the table, you can get it yourself."
Xiao Ping's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out the bento box. Inside were exquisite vegetable sushi, so many that he could eat his fill.
When did she have time to make them?
A warm current flowed through Xiao Ping's heart. He guessed it was because he had been tired of butchering pigs and hadn't noticed at all.
The young man's green eyes flickered slightly, and he whispered, "Qian ya~"
"En?"
Suddenly, her cheek felt warm.
"Thank you."
The group eating meat was force-fed a mouthful of PDA. They lowered their eyelids and stuffed pork into their mouths.
"Thank you, thank you, but don't kiss me randomly. I said kissing requires my consent."
Xiao Ping pouted and pulled Xu Qian to a small dining table to eat.
"You're still cooking for them when you're so hungry. You eat first. I'm a zombie, I'm not hungry. I'll go chat with them."
Xu Qian's heart warmed, and she smiled, "I ate a lot while making sushi, I'm not hungry at all."
Xiao Ping chuckled, so she had been sneaking food!
He sat down resentfully and started to devour the sushi.
Who knew that the more he ate, the more he craved it, and soon, the entire box of sushi was gone.
For that bite of food, Xiao Ping began to look at her pitifully again.
Xu Qian deliberately provoked him, "Weren't you angry just now? Aren't you angry now?"
Xiao Ping nodded quickly, "I'm not angry anymore, good sister, can you make some more for me?"
Xu Qian got goosebumps all over. Xu Lü's way of calling her was soft and gentle, but Xiao Ping's was not at all.
Moreover, Xiao Ping never called her sister.
She took a piece of pork belly with each bite, tapped his forehead, and said with a smile, "I'll make it later."
Everyone ate their fill and even packed some to take back.
Xu Qian had always wanted to treat everyone in Jiwang Base to a meal, even though she was a strategist who was rarely seen...
Xie Yayun watched her gentle little face from the side, her heart warming.
The panic from yesterday had lingered in her heart, unable to dissipate.
She wanted to discuss it with her, but she was afraid of seeing her disappointed expression.
Xie Yayun gritted her teeth, stepped forward, and pulled Xu Qian aside, saying in a deep voice, "Xiao Qian, I want to tell you something."
Seeing her serious expression, Xu Qian hesitated.
It definitely wasn't good news.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes involuntarily and asked, "Sister Yayun, what's wrong?"
"I want to move Jiwang Base to Hope Base. I'm afraid I can't protect them."
She spoke quickly, afraid she would go back on her word.
Xu Qian's eyes darkened, and she quickly lowered her gaze to hide her expression.
After a while, she raised her eyes again, and the disappointment in her eyes was gone.
Their lives were the most important. If another base came, she wouldn't always be able to make it in time.
"Pack your things, I'll take you there."
Seeing that Xu Qian's expression hadn't changed, Xie Yayun breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you don't agree, we won't go."
Xu Qian shook her head and said, "It's okay, Hope Base has complete facilities and a large population. Although there are dangers, we can survive if we work hard on missions."
"Sister Yayun, remember, strength comes first."
Xie Yayun understood and sighed, "This is also my dilemma. I want to move the base because I'm afraid they'll be bullied, not because I'm competitive."
Xu Qian didn't say much. Hope Base had its advantages, and Jiwang Base had its freedom.
"I have no objections. I suggest you hold a vote directly. If they want to leave, they can leave, and if they want to stay, they can stay."
