Chapter 402 - 72_2

Because mother and son both lost their human touch.
Li Lan must have been hungry; after sitting down at the dining table, she took a few small bags from the box underneath, and then slid one of them over to the boy sitting opposite.
Li Zhiyuan picked up the bag, opened it, and found compressed biscuits.
He had come here after finishing his tests in the afternoon and was indeed hungry now, but he didn’t want to eat them; he wanted to save room in his stomach for eating Peking duck at Quanjude with Principal Wu tonight.
He didn’t actually like the greasy duck that much, but now he was looking forward to it more than anything.
The boy didn’t ask Li Lan how she knew "that seabed" had something to do with him, because that would be easy to look up.
He was Zheng Haiyang’s classmate, had accompanied Tan Yunlong on a visit to Zheng Haiyang’s mother at the mental hospital, and bought tickets to Mountain City with Tan Wenbin.
For quite a while at the dining table, only the sound of the woman chewing could be heard.
Li Zhiyuan turned his head to look at the thermal flask set there, covered with a layer of dust and empty of hot water.
He then looked over to the sink, where the edges still bore red-black stains; the tap that had not been used for a long time would have rust inside and needed to run for a while to clear it out.
