Chapter 2525: Plain Boiled Water
“It’s not always possible to find something. Don’t worry about it, Sister,” Alviss replied.
Hearing this only made Ning Shu feel guiltier. What an awful day today was.
Suddenly, a girl’s voice sounded from outside the tent. “Alviss, Alviss!”
Immediately afterward, a girl, who was about the same age as Alviss, entered the tent.
The girl had wine-red hair that reached her ears. Her face was a little dirty. She was wearing a short skirt, and she was barefooted.
She was also holding something in her arms. When she saw Alviss, she handed what she was holding to him and said, “Eat this.”
What the girl had brought was some unopened, packaged bread, which was very rare on Planet Sehlde.
Ning Shu was a little surprised to see that the girl actually brought over such a valuable thing.
Alviss turned his wheelchair and said, “Thank you, Vivian, but I can’t accept it. Your older brother will beat you for this.”
“It’s fine. My brother won’t find out about this,” Vivian said. She gave the food to Alviss. “Hurry up. Eat it.”
Vivian’s older brother was the boss of this section of the garbage dumps.
The garbage dumps were divided into areas, which were each led by different bosses.
If one went to an area to scavenge and find food without the consent of the boss of that area, one would probably be beaten, or even killed.
When ordinary people went to scavenge, they also had to hand in some of what they found to the boss of that area as a ‘protection fee’.
Afraid that Alviss would return the food to her, Vivian rushed out of the tent. However, she tripped and fell to the ground, and had to get up and run away in embarrassment.
Ning Shu stared at Alviss’ side profile. His eyelashes drooped and he lowered his head to look at the food on his lap.
With a pale face and long eyelashes, he was a delicate and melancholic-looking young boy.
Such a person was rare to see on this planet.
Vivian was definitely enchanted by Alviss’ beauty!
Good looks were the stuff that called blessings in. Because of Alviss’ good looks, the Heavens had sent them food!
Ning Shu coughed. Alviss turned to look at her.
With a smile on her face, Ning Shu commented, “Vivian must like you.”
“What could she possibly like about me? I’m just a useless person. I can’t even walk, and I can’t survive on this planet on my own,” Alviss said. “I’m just a burden. One day, I will be abandoned.”
Ning Shu was stunned for a moment by what Alviss said. Then, she said, “How could that happen? No way!”
Alviss lowered his head. He handed Ning Shu one of the breads and said, “You should eat.”
“Thank you, Brother.” Ning Shu happily accepted the bread. It was a little black, probably because it was made from buckwheat.
Ning Shu tore through the package and took a bite of the bread. It had a strange smell and was not fluffy anymore.
However, Ning Shu was very hungry right now. Even though the bread was expired and smelly, Ning Shu still thought that it was delicious.
Ning Shu finished eating the small piece of bread. She drank some water and, then, said to Alviss, “You should eat some too.”
It was getting dark outside. The air, too, suddenly became cold.
Ning Shu started to make their bed, which was made out of wooden boards.
There was a pitch-black quilt and some ragged clothes to serve as cushioning.
Ning Shu rubbed her hands to warm them up a bit, then shook out the dust on the quilt.
