Chapter 126: Dark Cuisine
Other residents heard the noise and came out one after another. However, when they saw that Yao Ran and others brought back only some metal scraps, they lost interest and closed the door.
After returning home, Yao Ran went to her space to take a shower and change clothes. Leaving the space, she made a pot of fish and ginger soup and steamed a bowl of rice for lunch. Before she picked up the chopsticks, someone called her outside.
"Yao Ran."
Hearing Long Yu's voice, she opened the door and saw him standing there holding a lunchbox. Yao Ran smiled and asked, "Do you need anything?"
Long Yu handed her the lunchbox and said, "This is for you. I made too much for lunch."
Looking at the lunchbox in his hand, Yao Ran thought for a moment and said, "Please wait a moment."
After saying that, she walked in without closing the door. Not long after, Yao Ran came back with a bowl of fish and ginger soup.
"Here, I'm just making this fish and ginger soup. It's good for your body."
Long Yu took the bowl of fish and ginger soup and smiled, "Thank you."
Yao Ran nodded, "Thank you for the lunchbox."
The two stood there talking for a while, and then Long Yu said, "Then I won't disturb your meal. See you later."
"Mhm."
Back in the living room, Yao Ran opened the lunchbox.
Judging from the mouth-watering appearance of the food, Long Yu must have put a lot of effort into cooking these days. As his cooking teacher, Yao Ran is proud of his progress. She picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of fried beef noodles. The moment the noodles touched her tongue, Yao Ran was stunned for two seconds. Then, she quickly swallowed the noodles, picked up the cup of water, and finished the water at once.
She put down the empty cup and stared at the fried beef noodles in disbelief. From their appearance, the noodles looked very delicious. However, when she took a bite, the taste was indescribable.
Yao Ran slightly moved her tongue. Sensing that she could feel her tongue again, she felt relieved.
Looking at the noodles, she felt complicated emotions. After staring at the lunchbox for a long time, she closed the lid and put it in the warehouse.
She couldn't eat it, but she shouldn't waste food. Her only option is to keep the lunchbox for now and give it to a lucky person in the future.
She sighed and muttered as she ate her rice, "I really shouldn't judge food by its appearance. This is definitely a dark cuisine."
After lunch, Yao Ran started her daily training. Finishing her training, she took a shower and put on stab-proof clothes under her coat.
Now that the poisonous moth has disappeared from Juncheng City, there is no need for her to continue wearing protective clothing.
When the clock's hand pointed to nine o'clock, Yao Ran put on her raincoat, carried her backpack, and then left the apartment.
Long Yu saw her coming and smiled, "The fish and ginger soup is delicious. I really like it."
After receiving his compliment, Yao Ran didn't dare to look him in the eyes and said, "Well, your fried beef noodles are also not bad. But you still need to work hard to improve your cooking skills."
After receiving her praise, Long Yu's smile almost blinded the guilty Yao Ran.
She guiltily glanced at his smiling face and thought, 'Since he likes to cook, I should find time to teach him. Otherwise, one day, he will accidentally kill himself or others with his dark cuisine.' Seeing Shi Xuan and Huang Qian coming out, they carried two inflatable boats down. While they were waiting for Quan Yuanwei on the 13th floor, Long Yu went to get the motorboat. Until now, Yao Ran didn't know where he hid the motorboat, but she was just curious and had no intention of exploring this issue.
Not long after, Quan Yuanwei came with a young man. Yao Ran looked at the man's face and remembered that he was the man who had talked to Grandma Quan when the military first took over control of Juncheng City.
Quan Yuanwei looked at Shi Xuan and said, "I had talked about this with Miss Yao, and she agreed, so I brought my friend with me tonight."
The man nodded to Shi Xuan, Huang Qian, and Yao Ran and introduced himself. "Hello. My name is Sima Yun, and I live in unit 1901. Thank you for letting me join the team tonight."
Hearing this, Yao Ran asked, "Is that child with eczema in your family?"
Sima Yun nodded, "He is my elder brother's son."
Huang Qian heard their conversation and asked, "Yao Ran, do you know each other?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Yao Ran shook her head and replied, "Grandma Quan came to me and said that a child in apartment number 1901 had severe eczema and asked me to help him. But eczema cannot be cured with acupuncture alone, so I can't help. Even with medication, eczema can relapse again in the future."
Hearing this, Huang Qian sighed and said nothing more. Nowadays, medicine is more valuable and harder to find than food. Even if they have medicine, they won't take it out and give it to strangers.
It's good to help people. However, it would become a foolish act if their kindness put them in danger. Anyone with a little bit of brains will know the principle about not showing off your
wealth in public.
After introducing themselves to Sima Yun, they waited for Long Yu in silence. Not long after, Long Yu finally came back in a motorboat.
After he parked the motorboat near the building, they tied up two inflatable boats to the motorboat and boarded them. In the darkness, they quietly left the Ling Yuan apartment
-complex.
It was dark and difficult to see clearly. The flashlight swept around the surroundings, and Shi Xuan could barely see the obstacles in the water. Because of this, he drove slower than usual.
