The group sat down, Rao Can next to Rao Beichen. Only then did she notice the delicacies on the table.
Looking at the tempting roasted whole lamb, Rao Can swallowed. She looked at Su Ling, who was sitting opposite her, "Pretty sister, you guys are so rich!"
Rao Can's words were from the bottom of her heart, a sincere truth.
She thought her brother was quite capable, but seeing Su Ling and the others now, she realized that there were always people better than you, and things beyond your imagination.
No matter how capable her brother was, he couldn't get her food made with such fresh ingredients.
But these things that she could only dream of were the daily life of Su Ling and the others.
Did she envy them? Of course, she did.
But if she had to choose between her brother and this life, she would still firmly choose her brother.
While Rao Can was calling Su Ling and the others rich, the thin and fat men had already divided the roasted whole lamb into countless pieces of manageable size.
Gu Shangse returned with the doll and naturally sat in the empty seat next to Su Ling.
Rao Beichen took in the scene, lowered his eyes, and smiled. Then, he picked up a piece of roasted lamb for Rao Can.
Rao Can hadn't eaten such delicious food since the apocalypse. She was already buried in her meal, her attention not on anything else.
The roasted whole lamb was truly flavorful, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, spicy, numbing, and fragrant. Rao Can's mouth was glistening with oil.
"Eat slowly, no one is snatching it from you," Rao Beichen said while serving Rao Can, not forgetting to talk to her, lest she choke from eating too fast.
Rao Can didn't have time to speak. She simply gestured with her hands and continued to devour the food.
Su Ling picked up a lamb chop and started gnawing on it. She didn't pay much attention to the actions of the siblings opposite her, only occasionally looking up and seeing their interactions.
She vaguely remembered that in her previous life, after Rao Beichen became a warlord, Rao Can was no longer by his side.
Although Rao Can was gone, he met the love of his life and had two children with her.
Thinking of this, Su Ling looked at Rao Can a couple more times.
Could this cute girl not have survived the treacherous apocalypse after all?
Logically, she shouldn't have, with such a capable brother like Rao Beichen protecting her, she should have—
Suddenly, Su Ling seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Rao Beichen, then at Rao Can, and understood everything.
Lowering her gaze, Su Ling continued to gnaw on the lamb chop in her hand.
And under the table, Yang Yang was lying in front of her, happily gnawing on a large bone with meat on it.
The sunset had faded, and the sky was gradually darkening. The lights around the castle had already lit up, dispelling the darkness.
From a distance, one could only see the bright and dazzling lights in the sky, and faintly, people could be seen moving about.
The dinner invited by Su Ling was undoubtedly the best, most abundant, and most delicious meal Rao Beichen and his sister had eaten since the apocalypse.
After dinner, Su Ling, Gu Shangse, and Rao Beichen sat on chairs, gazing into the distance.
As for the others, they had already gotten up. Some went to the kitchen to wash dishes, while others carried hoes to the yard to prepare for planting vegetables.
Rao Can, on the other hand, was happily playing with the two-year-old Hanhan and the Border Collie Yang Yang.
Rao Beichen listened to Rao Can's distinctive laughter from not far away, his eyes softening. "Where are you planning to go next?"
"Lu Cheng," Su Ling's voice was slightly cold. Then, out of politeness, she asked Rao Beichen, "And you?"
"To the north," Rao Beichen replied to Su Ling, then turned his head to look at her. "What are you going to Lu Cheng for? As far as I know, that place is by the sea, not a safe area suitable for living."
"Looking for someone," Gu Shangse answered on their behalf. He met Rao Beichen's gaze and asked, "Do you know anyone named Shang Qi?"
