A big gang of people were cursing inwardly.
"You have us lying here just for the sake of waiting for those who might not even arrive tonight to have a meal?"
"Do you know that Yunnan is over a thousand kilometers away from here, and with trains, coaches, delays, missed connections, and traffic jams, any holdup can mean hours lost?"
"Damn it, if you had said so earlier, wouldn't I have reported it already?"
The resentment over a meal was quite deep.
But Fang Huai had never anticipated that the training team's schedule would lose its mystery within the time it took to eat a meal.
The afternoon meal was still bento, just like at noon.
But unlike Fang Huai, everyone took their bentos and chatted as they ate in the courtyard, not so debilitated by the less than an hour's worth of push-ups that they couldn't eat.
In the courtyard, there was cheerful conversation all around.
The meals were distributed at 6 o'clock, and by 6:10, the news had spread.
