He had snuck into the ox cart going south from the mansion in the morning, only to be captured by two Japanese pirates. It was already afternoon and he hadn’t had a drop of water or a morsel of food.
“Gurgle…”
His stomach embarrassingly grumbled.
Wei Yilin was frustrated, agitated, and annoyed.
Wei Ruo pretended not to hear and continued to eat her meal.
Wei Yilin had never experienced such hardship in all his life, and the more he thought about it, the more miserable he felt.
“Wei Qingruo!” Wei Yilin called out.
“What do you want?”
“You… You…” Wei Yilin looked at Wei Ruo, wanting to say something but was unable to articulate his thoughts.
“You want to eat, but you’re too bashful to ask, is that it, huh?” Wei Ruo finished on behalf of Wei Yilin.
“Absolutely not!” Wei Yilin promptly denied.
“It doesn’t matter if you’ve thought about it or not, I would never give my carefully prepared food to someone who secretly wishes for my death.”
“You!” Wei Yilin was once again infuriated by Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo responded with a gentle smile, leisurely savoring her sweet, dried sweet potatoes.
“Fine, don’t give it to me! Who cares?” Wei Yilin retorted.
An hour later…
“Gurgle…gurgle…”
Wei Yilin’s stomach was now crying out with even more intensity. Never having gone hungry before, this was his first time experiencing such prolonged hunger.
It significantly curbed his typically haughty demeanor.
Looking at Wei Ruo’s calm and collected demeanor, Wei Yilin started to realize that there might be some truth to her words.
At least, like Wei Ruo, he could lead a slightly more tolerable life before being rescued.
“Wei Qingruo, if they were to kill me, you wouldn’t really abandon me, would you?” Wei Yilin asked.
“At the first sight of you today, I would have saved you. But after you called me ‘sister’ with no sincerity, knowing full well you’ve never genuinely said it before, I couldn’t care less about your well-being.” Wei Ruo didn’t hesitate to reveal her true thoughts.
Wei Yilin’s face fell, as a wave of shame washed over him.
He glanced at Wei Ruo, wanting to say something but swallowed his words back down.
After all, if he apologized to Wei Ruo, it would be a blow to his pride. Furthermore, it would be a betrayal to Sister Wanwan. He had promised Sister Wanwan that he would only recognize her as his sister. A man of integrity must be true to his words.
“Can you at least give me something to eat, I’m hungry.” Although he couldn’t bring himself to apologize, his stomach was truly empty. Grudgingly, he asked Wei Ruo for food.
“No.” Wei Ruo refused without a second thought.
While putting on a show for Wei Yilin, she kept an eye on the entrance of the cave.
When she confirmed that no one outside was looking, she carefully took out a small bottle from her clothes, and poured the powder inside onto the remaining dried sweet potatoes in her bag.
She mixed the bag around so that the powder was evenly distributed.
Wei Yilin didn’t see what Wei Ruo did. He thought she was just savoring her food while watching him go hungry.
After a while, Wei Ruo shouted towards the cave entrance, “Hey, good fellows outside, I have some food in here. Do you want some?”
“Wei Qingruo, what are you doing? You didn’t give the food to me, and now you want to feed those bloodthirsty Japanese pirates? Are you even human?” Wei Yilin accused.
