PFC Chapter 282 Little Tomorrow and Her Soldier Brother (6)
Chapter 282 Little Tomorrow and Her Soldier Brother (6)
The journey lasted more than 30 hours, and almost half of it had passed at this time.
When Gu Yanxi saw Xu Youwei using boiling water to make pancakes again, he became more and more certain that this girl's family was not well off.
However, such people usually have strong self-esteem, and cannot be too direct when they want to help others.
At this time, a flight attendant pushing a lunch box cart began to walk through the aisle. Gu Yanxi pushed his nephew and asked him to buy a lunch box.
"I don't want to eat!" Gu Lan said dissatisfiedly, "I want to go to the dining car to eat stir-fried dishes."
"What are you eating? I think you look like a cook." Gu Yanxi's face turned cold. "Just do what you are told to do. Why are you talking so much? Just obey orders and follow instructions!"
Gu Lan pursed his lips and asked the flight attendant to buy two boxed lunches. When the meal was brought to him, Gu Yanxi covered his stomach and said, "I've been eating rice for a few days, and I always feel uncomfortable! It's better to eat some alkaline noodles."
"Uncle, is this true?" Gu Lan was a little surprised. "You will also feel uncomfortable? Aren't you an iron man?"
Gu Yanxi glared at him: "Eat your food, don't spit out your saliva!"
Gu Lan stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.
Gu Yanxi opened the lunch box, which contained two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, a portion of soup and a bowl of rice. Although it was not very rich, it was still clean.
Glancing at Xu Youwei, who was still waiting for the pancake to soften, he pushed the lunch box toward her: "Here, I'll exchange your pancake with you!"
Xu Youwei looked at the food in front of her and swallowed reflexively, but immediately refused: "No, I made this cake myself, mainly to resist hunger, and it really tastes bad."
Unexpectedly, Gu Yanxi picked up the chopsticks and tasted the half-soft and half-hard cake, nodded and said: "Hmm! This is the taste of noodles."
Xu Youwei was confused by the other party's move. It seemed that if she didn't take the lunch box from the other party at this time, she would be somewhat ungrateful.
"Do you really want to eat?" Xu Youwei said with some embarrassment, "I know you are trying to help me, but it really doesn't matter to me, I..."
"I'm used to it!" Before she could finish these words, she heard Gu Yanxi say, "I'm not helping you. My stomach is uncomfortable, so I need to eat some pasta."
After that, he moved the lunch box closer to Xu Youwei and said, "Eat it! Everyone has hard times. Eating this meal won't make you rich, nor will it make me poor. Just think of it as not wasting food."
Xu Youwei did not refuse again, but just lowered her head and started eating.
Gu Yanxi also started to eat the soaked cake, taking big bites, as if it was some delicious food.
Gu Lan caught a glimpse of his uncle's eating habits out of the corner of his eye and was a little surprised at first!
Is this really hunger? Or is it delicious?
He knew that his uncle was not very picky about food. After all, during the wilderness survival training, his uncle seemed to have eaten insects. So no matter how unpalatable the food was, it should not matter if it tasted good in the other's mouth!
But having said that, Gu Lan secretly admired his uncle's actions when he saw what he had just done.
My uncle is really a master. He can express his kindness without appearing to be deliberate.
If he gave Xu Youwei money directly or treated her to a meal, she might feel embarrassed or uncomfortable.
But exchanging lunch boxes can satisfy her needs without hurting her self-esteem.
After Xu Youwei finished her meal, she thanked Gu Yanxi softly.
At this moment, her heart was filled with gratitude and warmth.
It seemed like she hadn't been treated so kindly by others for a long time. After all, even her family, who should care about her, could abandon her at any time at critical moments. Xu Youwei had become accustomed to being disliked by others.
"No need to thank me!" Gu Yanxi didn't want the other party to feel that he owed her a favor, so he smiled and said, "You exchanged this lunch for the cake. I didn't do anything."
Then he returned the lunch box to Xu Youwei.
She picked up the lunch box and walked towards the sink at the rear of the car, wanting to wash it clean right away, after all, she was going to have her meal in the car today.
After Xu Youwei walked away, Gu Lan smiled and patted Gu Yanxi on the shoulder, teasing: "Uncle, your trick is really great! Not only did you help him, but you also made him feel comfortable."
Gu Yanxi turned his head, his eyes fell on Xu Youwei in the distance, and said softly: "It's just a small favor, any help is appreciated!"
Gu Lan nodded. He also felt that this girl was a bit pitiful. It was very likely that she could not even afford the tuition, so she was so frugal.
"When we get to S City, let the car that picked us up take her to S University." Gu Yanxi assigned a task to Gu Lan, "You are the one who will handle this matter. I have already done it to her during lunch break.
If I said that, she might refuse. S University is not far from the military area, and it’s on the way anyway.”
"But..." Gu Lan looked worried, "What's our arrival time?"
His worries were normal. The train departed during the day and would take more than 30 hours. It would probably be midnight when it arrived in S City. He doubted whether she would have a place to stay even if he sent her to S City.
