Sister Na felt that the girl whose name she didn't know yet seemed too good to her and her son.
She was so good that it was hard to refuse, and she really wanted to get close to this warmth.
It was really strange, she felt a sense of déjà vu despite meeting for the first time.
Although touched, Sister Na did not rashly agree to Su Ling, "If my son and I leave with you, it will be—"
"It won't be," Su Ling interrupted before Sister Na could finish, "I'm waiting for you, do you understand?"
Sister Na was confused and didn't understand.
Meanwhile, Gu Shangse and the others, through Su Ling's reaction, knew that this mother and son were the ones she was waiting for.
Su Ling's demeanor towards Sister Na and her son was vastly different from how she treated them.
Gu Shangse spoke, his gentle voice sounding, "I think you should believe her. We all know she's been waiting for someone. Now, seeing her reaction, we know you and your son are the ones she's been waiting for."
If Su Ling could have such a strong reaction, who else could it be but them?
Sister Na looked at Su Ling, her heart full of questions. She directly asked, "Why?"
Su Ling held Sister Na's hand, her voice soft, "I had a dream, and I saw you in it. But we got separated, and I couldn't find you. In my despair, a voice told me to come here and wait. As long as I was willing to wait, you would definitely come."
Looking at Su Ling, Sister Na didn't think she was lying. Her eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry.
How to say it?
Sister Na actually felt a pang of sympathy and wanted to hug her.
Despite meeting for the first time, Sister Na felt that Su Ling carried a heavy sense of story, a sense of desolation and bleakness.
Suppressing the strange thought in her heart, Sister Na looked at Su Ling and nodded, agreeing, "Alright, as long as you don't mind that my son and I are a burden, we'll stick with you."
Su Ling was very happy. Her eyes were red. "Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat. Wait here."
Over there, Su Ling was already cooking instant noodles. She fried pork belly, fried eggs, fried sausages, and blanched vegetables.
In short, she was busy, but Gu Shangse and the others could tell she was happy.
Soon, two steaming bowls of rich instant noodles were served.
Su Ling pulled up a chair and sat opposite Sister Na and her son, pushing the noodles forward. "Try them."
She also thoughtfully placed a large plate of lychees and cherries in a dish in front of them.
For Sister Na and her son, during their few days of 'escape' after the apocalypse, they had only been able to eat bread and drink mineral water.
The best food they had found were self-heating meals and self-heating hot pots from convenience stores.
Instant noodles that were so steaming hot and generously filled with ingredients were truly a luxury.
"I'll feed Hanhan, you eat first," Su Ling's clear voice sounded as she took a small bowl and began to portion the noodles.
Seeing Su Ling's skilled movements, Sister Na didn't stand on ceremony. She picked up the bowl of noodles and took a satisfying sip of the hot soup, holding a spoon in her left hand and chopsticks in her right, and began to enjoy this hard-won delicious feast.
Hanhan really liked this big sister Su Ling. He was usually quiet and kept his distance from strangers, but he didn't reject Su Ling.
Hanhan was still a child, and his appetite was far less than that of an adult like Sister Na. After finishing one bowl of noodles, he couldn't eat anymore.
Sister Na had already finished her portion. Seeing that Hanhan had leftover noodles, she didn't want to waste them and picked them up to finish.
As for Su Ling, she had expected to wait a few more days to see Sister Na and Hanhan. She never imagined that happiness would come so suddenly.
The worry in her heart had subsided. After Sister Na and Hanhan had eaten their fill, she looked at the mother and son, "I'll take you to rest."
Sister Na and her son now had complete trust in Su Ling and obediently followed her to the tent.
After Sister Na and her son had fallen asleep, Su Ling decided to go out.
