smell good.

The educated youth were confused by the smell and slow to react. Qin Xiaoran walked through the educated youth compound and came to Lin Li in the blink of an eye.

"Lily, I gave you a copy of the scallion pancakes I made today. Try it and see how it goes."

With that said, she picked up a piece of oil cake cut into palm size and handed it to Lin Li's mouth, waiting for Lin Li to take a bite. It seemed that she would keep holding it like this if Lin Li didn't eat it.

Lin Li looked at Qin Xiaoran's smiling face and then looked at the scallion pancake.

She couldn't bear to make Qin Xiaoran sad, and she didn't want to continue the stalemate for others to watch, so she took a bite of the scallion pancake numbly.

delicious.

Her expression softened.

It’s hard to remain completely indifferent when faced with delicious food and the smiling faces of people you care about.

Qin Xiaoran asked expectantly, "How is it?"

Lin Li nodded, "It's delicious."

"If it's delicious, eat more. There are plenty next door. How about you just go next door and eat with us?"

Lin Li glanced at the educated youths who had mixed reactions in her peripheral vision and shook her head.

"No, I won't go there."

Qin Xiaoran didn't force her when he saw this, and said, "Then eat here. Do you have porridge for breakfast? Or drink more water."

"There is porridge."

Of course they eat porridge in the morning at the Educated Youth Compound, but it's just not delicious.

Qin Xiaoran nodded. She felt that no matter how bad the porridge was, it couldn't be any worse. Besides, the staple food was scallion pancakes, and there was not much difference between porridge and water.

However, when she saw the porridge in the Educated Youth Courtyard, she still underestimated the limits of human cooking skills.

The porridge cooked in the Educated Youth Courtyard is very thin, which is normal. The problem is that it is slightly gray and yellow in color, and it also exudes a strange smell mixed with the smell of paste and water.

Did you cook porridge directly after cooking dinner yesterday without washing the pot properly?

Maybe it wasn’t just yesterday…

Qin Xiaoran endured the discomfort and was about to say that he should go next door to eat, when he saw other educated youths picking up the porridge and finishing the drink. Lin Li also picked up the porridge skillfully and took a sip. She seemed to be used to it.

Her body stiffened. How desperate was Lin Li to change from such a delicate and picky person to the one who doesn't care about anything now?

What Lin Li saw and thought was different from Qin Xiaoran's.

She knows that Qin Xiaoran has lived a good life over the years, and she understands that Qin Xiaoran will not be used to the current life, just like the difference between the sweet and delicious pumpkin porridge she drank last night and the bowl of gruel in her hands now.

She wanted Qin Xiaoran to get back on track and stop suffering here.

Not just food and material suffering, but also human hearts.

She raised her eyes to look at the educated youths who were staring eagerly at the scallion pancakes in front of her, and at the male educated youths who were staring eagerly at Qin Xiaoran. Her originally indifferent and empty eyes suddenly became full of disgust.

Qin Xiaoran shouldn't appear here.

"Go back."

"what?"

Lin Li looked back at Qin Xiaoran and said, "Go back and eat."

She knew that Qin Xiaoran must have come over to deliver scallion pancakes to her without eating.

"Your husband should still be waiting for you."

She emphasized the words 'your husband'.

Qin Xiaoran was stunned and didn't know why Lin Li suddenly said that, but when he thought about it, Huo Nianping did say that he would wait for her to have dinner with her, as well as Granny Wang and Hu Zi.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Lin Li's half-eaten scallion pancake, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back first."
