"Whimper! Big pervert! I'm so hungry! I really am starving!" An Qi uttered in a coquettish tone, genuinely starved.
"The food is right behind you, do you want to eat it or not?" Lin Yifan asked.
"Why do you insist on forcing me to eat those things not meant for humans?" An Qi demanded, her heart already heavy with sorrow.
"Do you know what people trapped beneath the rubble after an earthquake eat to survive? When you truly can't take the hunger anymore, stop being picky, or else just make peace with the decision to sacrifice yourself," Lin Yifan advised.
He wasn't insistently forcing An Qi to eat these things, he wanted her to understand some truths. At any time, in any place, survival should come first.
"But that thing is so terrifying," An Qi shared her inner fear.
It wasn't that she couldn't eat it, but she truly couldn't accept it.
"Once it's skinned, isn't it just meat? What's so terrifying about that? You eat chicken and duck, why can't you eat this?" Lin Yifan inquired.
