That night when the apocalypse started, the Qin family was shopping and was caught off guard when everything happened. They left S-City in a hurry, and when Sun Zhilsn couldn’t walk any further, they had no choice but to rest at the gas station.
She only had some chocolates with her at this moment, and this was all the food their family had. They didn’t know what the situation was like outside, so they must ration it.
Sun Zhilan took out a piece of chocolate from her bag and handed it to Qin Jiaojiao lovingly. “Jiaojiao, take it, eat this first.”
Her daughter was skinny and tiny when she was born, and after years of raising her meticulously, Jiaojiao finally became healthier. However, Jiaojiao was very picky with food since she was little. It wasn’t an issue in the past, but with the current situation, they weren’t sure if Jiaojiao could adapt.
Sun Zhilan’s heart was full of worries, but she didn’t show it on the surface.
Qin Jiaojiao glanced at the chocolate in Sun Zhilan’s hand and frowned instinctively. When her hurting stomach reminded her that this wasn’t the time to be picky, she took it in the end.
Knowing that his daughter was picky with food, Qin Mian touched her head; they didn’t have a choice now, he could only let his wife and daughter suffer for the time being.
Sun Zhilan took out another two pieces of chocolate and handed them to Qin Mian. “Big brother Mian, you, Hanmo, and Hanyu should have some too.”
Qin Mian and Sun Zhilan were childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship since they were little. With just a look in Sun Zhilan’s eyes, Qin Mian immediately knew what she meant.
He took them and gave a piece to his two sons, then stuffed the other piece into Sun Zhilan’s mouth after opening it.
Sun Zhilan was taken aback but swallowed the chocolate in her mouth in the end. Although, the chocolate that used to be sweet was now extremely bitter.
Sigh, she was such a burden.
Qin Hanmo and Qin Hanyu divided the chocolate into three in tacit understanding, handing Qin Jiaojiao a piece and another to Qin Mian.
Qin Mian took it and looked at his eldest son, who was already as tall as he was. “When we’re out of S-City, let’s go find some food.”
Qin Hanyu nodded and closed his eyes to regain his energy.
Qin Jiaojiao’s stomach felt better after eating the chocolate, but she was still very hungry.
At that very moment, the aroma of food wafted over, and Qin Jiaojiao couldn’t help but salivate. She looked around and saw that in a corner not far away, Zhou Yu was eating a sausage with gusto.
Actually, she heard Zhou Yu calling out to her before, but she was afraid that Zhou Yu would try to tag along with her family, so she simply ignored her.
She didn’t expect that Zhou Yu would actually have so much food. It was dark inside earlier and she couldn’t really see, but now, she saw very clearly that Zhou Yu’s little follower, Chu Qiuxue, was carrying a huge bag.
If it was the past, she definitely wouldn’t have touched all these junk foods. But now, she was really starving.
Qin Jiaojiao thought for a minute before pulling Qin Hanmo’s hand. Qin Hanmo leaned over and looked worriedly at his weak little sister. “Jiaojiao, what is it? Are you feeling unwell?”
Jiaojiao had always been quite weak, so he had to pay attention to her at all times.
Qin Jiaojiao shook her head, went closer to Qin Hanmo, and whispered in his ear, “Second brother, I just saw my classmate there and she seems to have a lot of food. Let’s go and borrow some.”
Qin Hanmo’s eyes lit up, but then immediately went dim. He said with some hesitation, “Would she be willing to lend us some?”
Food was so important now, who would simply lend it to them?
“I don’t know about that either,” Qin Jiaojiao said, “but mommy needs to eat. If worst comes to worst, we’ll tell her that we’ll return her double the amount in the future or we can say we’ll help her look for her family. Let’s just give it a try anyway.”
