Before Zhou Huajian could say another word, a young man sitting beside him suddenly asked, "Comrade, do we need to pay for the bread and milk?"
When the other soldiers heard his words, they glanced at him knowingly with a trace of embarrassment.
"I can't finish it all, and it would be a waste if it spoils. It will be great if you can help me finish it. I won't charge you for the bread and milk."
As soon as she finished speaking, the young man reached out his pale hands and said, "Then I will help you finish it. It's not good to waste food."
Jiao Lizhi looked at his expressionless face and found him somewhat familiar. But she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
She took out ten loaves of bread, ten cartons of milk, and ten bottles of her pond water. After taking them out, her backpack was empty.
She zipped it up and said, "Thank you for your help, Brother!"
"Mhmm," the young man nodded as he opened the milk carton.
Not long after, Jin Xuyan walked over and asked, "Ah Zhi, what are you doing?"
Hearing his voice, Jiao Lizhi asked back, "Brother Yan, are we going in now?"
Jin Xuyan nodded, handed her a dagger made by the Wen brothers, and said, "This is for you. I asked them to modify the shape and weight. It should suit you."
Jiao Lizhi's eyes lit up when she saw the dagger. It was so similar to the one she owned in her previous life. She took the dagger and pulled it out from its sheath. When she saw the mark on the blade, she was stunned.
This dagger wasn't just similar—it was actually her dagger!
In her previous life, she had obtained this dagger by chance at Sanchou Base's market for a low price. She had planned to go there and buy it again. She never expected that her dagger had actually been made by the Wen brothers.
Seeing her go silent, Jin Xuyan knew she recognized it. In their previous life, he had to find a way to give it to her while hiding his involvement.
He hadn't wanted his enemies to know that he cared about her. So, he could only protect her from the shadows—even giving her a gift took a lot of effort. Now, he could give it to her directly. This feeling was amazing.
After a moment of silence, Jiao Lizhi looked at him and said softly, "Brother Yan, thank you."
Both of them understood that she was thanking him for the gifts in both lifetimes.
Reaching out, Jin Xuyan patted her head gently and said, "As long as you like it."
Checking his watch, he added, "The others are waiting for us. We should go now."
"Okay," Jiao Lizhi nodded and tied the dagger to her right thigh.
Before leaving, Jin Xuyan looked at his men and said, "All of you should rest and replenish your energy. Familiarize yourselves with your abilities too."
