There was too much information to take in. Everyone needed time to process it.
Li Luo gave another self-mocking smile. "Dr. Xu is a genius. Headquarters must have taken him away safe and sound, leaving only useless people like us behind..."
Living in fear, watching their companions die one after another.
"Why couldn't you have shown up sooner? A colleague who meant a great deal to me was infected."
There was a hint of resentment in Li Luo's words.
Ye Ruan turned his red eyes toward him and stared at him expressionlessly for a long time.
Li Luo smiled stiffly. "You must be the Third Team's Lop-Eared Rabbit Special Person, second in the overall rankings."
"That's right." Gu Cheng pulled the rabbit into his arms, staking his claim again.
"The First Team and Third Team are joining through marriage now. Captain Ye is my fiancé."
Ye Ruan: "..."
He showed off to everyone he met. Unbelievable.
"Food's ready! Stop talking. Four dishes per table, so let's split up between ten tables... whew, we nearly worked ourselves to death."
He Zhou was the first to emerge, carrying a... basin.
"I called another dozen or so people into the kitchen to help just now. Otherwise, we wouldn't be eating until midnight."
Only then did Ye Ruan find a moment to check the time.
It was already past four in the afternoon. A little longer, and it would be dinnertime.
Each of the ten tables held four large basins of food.
"Spicy blood curd stew, stir-fried choy sum, tomato beef brisket, and dry-pot shrimp."
After announcing the dishes, He Zhou sat down, grabbed a big snow-white steamed bun, and dug in.
Within a few bites, he had picked a huge chopstickful of squid tentacles out of the spicy blood curd stew.
