Fang Yuxin flipped through the store’s product catalog, casually selecting a few items and asked the clerk to package them. As a Chief Physician, the rationing system was already very lenient for her. Compared to others, the restrictions she faced were minimal.
She was waiting, bored, when she turned her gaze and saw a skinny little child hiding in the distance, unconsciously biting his thumb, his large eyes longingly fixing on the goods on the shelves.
Thinking it over, she bought a box of convenience food and some candy, then walked over and put them in the child’s hands, "Take it and eat."
The child was filthy and extremely thin. He raised his head and curiously looked at Fang Yuxin, not daring to reach out for the food.
Fang Yuxin smiled, "It’s for you, take it and eat."
She knew this child must have had a hard life, but they were about to leave. Giving him too much food might actually harm him.
The child pursed his lips, his eyes alternating between the food in Fang Yuxin’s hands and her face, as if to make sure she wasn’t deceiving him.
Fang Yuxin extended the goods toward him, smiling again, "It’s for you, take it."
The child hesitated again but couldn’t resist the temptation and quickly reached out and grabbed the box meal and candy. He was so thin, his hands resembled chicken claws, a bit dirty to look at.
At that moment, Bai Qianqian came over. He was holding a bottle of purified water, which he handed to the child, "Here, this is for you too."
The child curiously looked at Bai Qianqian. The two children seemed to be about the same height, but Bai Qianqian was better looking and clean, obviously a child from a wealthy family.
The child suddenly lowered his head, took the water, and quietly said "thank you" before quickly running off.
Fang Yuxin watched his small figure and sighed softly.
The child was pitiable, clearly one of those living at the bottom. In the entire Safe Zone, there were many people as pitiful as him.
She wasn’t a savior and couldn’t save everyone. What she could do was to enable these people to have the ability to survive as much as possible.
Afterward, Fang Yuxin bought some more items, but she still couldn’t spend all of her credit points, which frustrated her greatly.
Just as she was about to leave, people were heading toward the store. Upon closer examination, it was Bai Ye and his teammates.
Bai Ye and his men clearly didn’t expect to run into Fang Yuxin and her group, they paused, then politely greeted them.
Right then, Bai Ye was unaware that Fang Yuxin was underestimating him. Hearing that Fang Yuxin was also going to Beishi City and would join him on the road, his heart filled with immense joy.
Happiness had come too swiftly; he couldn’t believe it!
Bai Ye was elated, but his face remained serious and composed. He said calmly, "In that case, we will set off together tomorrow. I will go back and prepare now."
Fang Yuxin did not refuse. Since she had chosen to travel with Bai Ye, and Bai Ye was so agreeable, she couldn’t have asked for more.
Seeing Bai Ye about to leave, she thought for a moment and stopped him as he was getting up, "Bai Ye, wait a moment, I have a gift for you."
Having said that, she took out paper and pen, wrote down the content of the Qi Cultivation Technique, and handed it to Bai Ye.
Since she had already planned to share the technique with others, giving Bai Ye a favor was just incidental.
Bai Ye froze when he took the paper from her hand. He hadn’t expected Fang Yuxin to give him such a gift.
Fang Yuxin explained, "The Qi Cultivation Technique is a Breathing Technique. You can let your team try to practice it. Although it’s not much, it can help strengthen the body and improve health."
Bai Ye nodded, gave Fang Yuxin a deep look, and said softly, "Thank you." (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommended votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
