At night, Tan Xiao, Pan Xiaoxin, and Mr. Cheng were playing poker on the mattress.
Pan Xiaoxin didn't know how to play at first, but later she and Mr. Cheng took turns winning.
Tan Xiao lost every game.
Bai Youwei, listening to the sounds of shuffling cards, Tan Xiao's complaints, the crackling of the campfire... slowly fell asleep.
Watching her serene, worry-free sleeping face, Shen Mo also closed his eyes.
...
The night passed uneventfully.
The next day, Mr. Cheng started to prepare breakfast in a busy fashion.
He opened up two bags of milk and cooked a pot of milk porridge.
Fearing that porridge alone might not be enough for Tan Xiao and Shen Mo, he also mixed some flour into a thin batter, added salt and MSG, then cracked two eggs. He added a little oil to the flat pan, poured on the batter, rotated the handle, and slowly made thin egg pancakes.
You could eat them directly, dip them in sauce, or even roll them up with green onions or shredded cucumber.
