Chapter 361 Give the Remaining Food to Sunshine Courtyard
While they were chatting, Lu Xun’s phone rang. An Wu’s voice came from the phone. “Lu Xun, ask Du Yue to come over and take away the bowls and chopsticks.”
Du Yue was sitting next to him, so she naturally heard what he said clearly. She stood up and pushed the dining cart out. Lu Xun quickly followed. The two of them arrived at the door of Xia Ju’s room. Lu Xun still couldn’t enter, so Du Yue pushed the dining cart in. There were seven dishes and one soup on the table. The amount of each dish was about the same as when she brought them in. An Wu and Xia Ju had eaten together, but they only took a few bites of each dish. The dishes on the table looked as if no one had touched them. However, the two small bowls of rice were finished.
Looking at the leftover food, Du Yue was a little worried. It would be a waste to throw away so much food. She looked at how An Wu was worried about Xia Ju. He probably would not let her eat leftovers, right? Especially in the apocalypse, wasting food would be punished by the heavens! However, Du Yue would not eat the leftovers of others. She was depressed.
An Wu, who was sitting at the side, said, “When Xia Ju is alone, you only need to make three or four dishes, but you can’t give her leftovers. As for the food that she can’t finish, it’s up to you to dispose of it. You can throw it away or take it away.”
The food could be taken away? Du Yue was delighted. It was such good food! If she brought it back to Sunshine Courtyard, they would definitely be very happy! Du Yue nodded and pushed the dining cart out. She repeated what An Wu had said to Lu Xun. As expected, Lu Xun was very happy after hearing this. He looked at Du Yue with surprise. “Is what you said true? We can take away all this food…”
Lu Xun suddenly stopped and looked at Du Yue and He Xing apologetically. “I’m sorry. I was too excited. These dishes are for the three of us. Can we split them equally?”
Du Yue waved her hand. “It’s okay. He Xing and I can eat here. You can take all these dishes away. Otherwise, it’ll be a waste if we bring them back!”
Lu Xun scratched his head and seemed a little embarra.s.sed, but he finally agreed. He knew that Du Yue and He Xing had been helping the people in their small courtyard in every way. He could forget about other things, but now they were even willing to give them such good food. Lu Xun would be lying if he said that he was not touched.
However, after his joy, Lu Xun was a little troubled. “But I can’t go back now. How can I bring these dishes to them?” He was now Xia Ju’s full-time guard. An Wu had just told the three of them that they needed to eat and stay here during work and could not leave unless there were extremely special circ.u.mstances. The daily necessities and ingredients for cooking would be sent in regularly by special personnel, and they would also be arranged with a place to stay. Each of them could only rest for one day in a month, but they had to rest separately. The three of them could not leave this place at the same time. While Lu Xun was in a dilemma, Du Yue had already found a disposable lunch box from the cabinet and put all the food in it.
After she was done, she saw that Lu Xun still could not think of a solution. Du Yue smiled and shook her head. “Did you forget that Sister Yu is here too? We can just ask Sister Yu to wait at the elevator door downstairs and send the food down in the elevator.”
Lu Xun slapped his thigh when he heard that. “Look at my bad memory. That’s right! I’ll get Sister Yu to bring it back for everyone!” With that, he immediately took out his phone and called Yu Xinya. The call connected almost instantly.
A worried voice came from the other end of the phone. “Lu Xun, why are you calling me? Did something happen in the courtyard?”
“No, no, don’t worry.” Lu Xun hurriedly explained, “Sister Yu, I have something to tell you…” Lu Xun told Yu Xinya about how An Wu had invited him, Du Yue, and He Xing to work under him. However, he did not hear Yu Xinya’s reply. “h.e.l.lo, Sister Yu, are you still there?”
“I’m here!” Yu Xinya seemed to come back to her senses. “Lu Xun, are you joking?” They were only here to accompany Wan Dapeng to see a doctor. How could they get such a good opportunity?
“Of course not! Du Yue and He Xing are right beside me. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them.”
As Lu Xun spoke, he handed the phone to Du Yue. Du Yue and He Xing both spoke up, confirming that what Lu Xun had said was the truth. With Du Yue and He Xing as witnesses, Yu Xinya finally believed it.
