Chapter 1216: Chapter 1211: The Food That Was Blocked by Someone

His eyes briefly brightened, but quickly dimmed again as the relentless hunger gnawing at him almost drove him insane! He desperately wanted to slip out while the two guards outside went to the cafeteria, but since those two dared to leave together without one staying behind, they clearly had confidence that those inside wouldn’t stealthily leave.

If it had only been Ruan Chao’en locked up, the two might have needed to switch shifts, with one going to eat at the cafeteria first before returning to guard, and then the other would go.

After all, if both went out to eat together at that time, Ruan Chao’en, being a Level 6 New Human, could easily escape and do some activities quietly in that time before running back unnoticed.

But now, with two people locked up, given the "deep hatred" between them, if one of them went out to do something while the two guards were away, the other would immediately report him!

Therefore, the guards felt completely at ease, and besides, the person inside being General Shang, was not a fool; he knew the consequences of leaving or escaping under these circumstances.

"Let’s go, let’s go."

After a brief discussion, the two soldiers outside the Prison started to leave. Though they were far from the deepest, underground cells of the Prison, how sensitive were the senses of Level 6 New Humans? They caught the conversation between the two guards outside with a shift of the ears, then all was quiet. But Ruan Chao’en knew, the soldiers had left.

As always, at this time, Ruan Chao’en couldn’t help but get excited, as if another self in the depths of his soul kept whispering in his ear, "Go out! Go out! Go find some food to eat! Just eat and come back, it won’t take too long!" and other such words.

The intense hunger tormented Ruan Chao’en so much that his whole body trembled. But after struggling for a while, he gave up, for there was another annoying guy next to him!

Ruan Chao’en turned and glared fiercely at Huang Quanjiu, who was really bothersome, and the latter was picking his teeth with a toothpick, oblivious to Ruan Chao’en’s stare.

Ruan Chao’en gave up on the idea, and his eyes completely dimmed. He laid on the bed, slouched in despair, trying not to think about the hunger, but his mind continued to conjure various delicacies—noodles with soybean paste, roast suckling pig, Kung Pao chicken, and even crystal clear white rice, which made Ruan Chao’en’s mouth water uncontrollably.

If only those things could appear in front of him.

This thought crossed his mind, but it immediately sparked a surge of anger. When he was in trouble, no one came to help!

At that, the images of delicious food in his mind instantly vanished, leaving only a strong desire to destroy everything around him, but he still restrained himself.

After a while, as if the heavens had taken pity on Ruan Chao’en, footsteps were heard again, approaching from afar, becoming urgent and clearer as if rushing.

"Is someone coming?"

Inside, both Ruan Chao’en and Huang Quanjiu were puzzled. Had those two returned so quickly? And why was the person heading towards them?

About a minute passed, and finally, the figure of a person appeared in front of them, seemingly carrying something.

Before he even reached them, the two could smell the fragrance of food. As the person approached, under the dim light in the cell, Ruan Chao’en saw the name tag on the person’s chest.

"Eighth Army Corps!"

Seeing those first four characters, Ruan Chao’en’s heart stirred and then he was overjoyed. But soon, he saw the person’s face and paused, it was completely unexpected, the least likely person he could think of!

It was Xiao Hu.

He was clearly here for the first time, his face bearing signs of panic, but seeing the cell holding Ruan Chao’en, his expression relaxed, relieved that he had not gone the wrong way.

"Why is it you?"

Ruan Chao’en looked at Xiao Hu with a puzzled expression, thinking that someone else should have been the one to deliver the meal.

"Others are still busy, I just finished my tasks and haven’t been reassigned yet, so the person in charge over there told me to take a break first, and then I came over for a meal. I thought of you, General, when I was coming back."

Ruan Chao’en nodded, but his eyes still looked very puzzled, "Did anyone tell you how much time they specifically gave you?"

"No."

Xiao Hu shook his head, his movements quick as he opened the bag, without a second thought, he directly poured the rice from the bowl into the bag. It was apparent that he was in a hurry to get back.

As the food emerged, Ruan Chao’en’s nose twitched, but he still suppressed the desire within his heart.

"Then aren’t you afraid of being late?"

At Ruan’s remarks, Xiao Hu’s actions paused for a moment, but quickly he sped up his pace to finish his tasks and looked up nodding at Ruan Chao’en.

"Scared!"

"Then you still dare to come here? Aren’t you afraid of being punished when you return?"

"Of course I’m scared, but I have no choice."

"Why?"

"Because all these things are my fault. If it weren’t for me, Brother Ding wouldn’t be in this situation, if it weren’t for me, our Eighth Army Corps wouldn’t have had such a big conflict with the Second Army Corps, if it weren’t for me, General, you wouldn’t have just been released only to be imprisoned again."

After Xiao Hu finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued his work. Ruan Chao’en watched him, remaining silent for a long time. Xiao Hu’s words were right; from Ding Fulong’s death to his own second entry into prison, he was indeed the protagonist of all these events.

Actually, Ruan Chao’en also knew all the reasons, so from his perspective, he found Xiao Hu very detestable—how should he put it, this person seemed like a harbinger of disaster!

Wherever he went, the people around him would invariably get hurt.

And a few months ago, when he had just been released from prison and heard Ke Shuanghong say that Xiao Hu was honest, Ruan Chao’en had let out an incredulous snort internally.

But now, following Xiao Hu’s words, his impression of Xiao Hu gradually changed—this guy seemed quite good, actually.

The rise in fondness allowed Ruan Chao’en to see Xiao Hu in a different light; perhaps none of this was his fault, he was just too honest, too afraid to cause trouble, and trouble found him.

When Xiao Hu finished everything and was about to leave, Ruan Chao’en called out to him from behind.

"Kid, how did you think of bringing me a meal, I haven’t seen anyone from the Eighth Army Corps around here recently?"

"General, you’ve misunderstood, it’s not that we didn’t want to bring you meals, it’s just that our meals were intercepted."

Ruan Chao’en nodded and waved his hand to signify that Xiao Hu could leave.
