Inside the sand cave, all kinds of food were spread out before Ning Que and Yi Tao.
There were chicken drumsticks, more chicken drumsticks, steamed buns, and fruit... a dazzling array.
Their eyes froze at the sight.
They even wondered whether they were hallucinating. They shook their heads and looked again, but the food was still there.
Its colors looked even more vivid!
The drumsticks glistened with oil, the noodles were pale and chewy, and the buns gave off steam-each dish was like a delicate feather teasing their taste buds.
"Gulp..."
They kept swallowing, their eyes wide as saucers.
There was only one thought in their minds now-where had all this food come from?
In the Capital City, these dishes would have been nothing special, just ordinary food eaten by common folk.
But in the desert, they were extraordinarily scarce.
Some of the Prison Officers had not eaten any of these dishes in all the years since they had been transferred here.
They had almost forgotten what they tasted like.
Once the shock passed, the Prison Officers' and Qin Qisha's expressions turned ugly.
Just a moment ago, they had been smug about withholding food, certain that Ning Que and Yi Tao would bow their heads for something to eat.
Yet here they were, feasting!
Whether it was noodles or steamed buns, everything they ate was better than the guards' food!
Compared with this spread, what the guards ate was practically pig feed!
"Slurp!"
Every noodle Yi Tao slurped down sent another crack through their composure.
It was too much for their nerves!
After finishing a bowl of noodles, Yi Tao's eyes reddened, and tears actually spilled down his face.
Ning Que looked at him with a smile. "What's wrong? Why are you crying over a meal?"
Thud!
