Chapter 550: Chapter 542: Snatch Chapter 550: Chapter 542: Snatch Even if she didn’t cut it now, she might still have to once she got home.
Gu Ning took out his tiny knife and cut off a large chunk of Tang Yuxin’s hair in one fell swoop.
Now her hair was truly up to her shoulders.
Regardless of the haircut style, Tang Yuxin felt as if her head had suddenly become much lighter.
“I can repay you with snacks, but I can’t regrow my hair.”
Gu Ning put away his military knife and grabbed a handful of Tang Yuxin’s hair, managing to style it roughly.
Tang Yuxin picked up a strand of her own hair and put it in her pocket for later disposal.
After all, it had grown out of her body; wouldn’t leaving it here be weird?
...
“You can just note my debt,” she patted her pocket, “You owe me more than just a life now, but also my hair.
You mustn’t go back on any requests I make in the future.”
The hole Tang Yuxin was preparing for Gu Ning was getting bigger and bigger.
She was ready to step in and sever any feelings he may have for Zhang Xiaomei.
After all, Gu Ning could marry any woman or remain a bachelor for life, but he absolutely couldn’t have Zhang Xiaomei.
Otherwise, he would be headed down a one-way path to death.
She was doing this for his sake, to save his life.
After all, she didn’t really want to have to remove her own kidney and give it to him.
Even though she would make the same decision as her past life if it came down to it, why not avoid it if she can?
Why resort to the knife if it isn’t necessary?
Why must she endure a blade incision if it’s not absolutely required?
Tang Yuxin took a sip of water and passed the water bottle to Gu Ning.
They no longer had to worry about whose water it was or whose turn it was to drink.
In times like these, such trivial matters were unnecessary.
Their lives were all in danger.
After the two of them had eaten a bag of snacks and had some water, Tang Yuxin hid the water again.
She hid her food and other supplies exceptionally well.
This was a precaution she took after someone stole from her yesterday.
But there was such a food shortage now, and Tang Yuxin didn’t have much left.
She only had a few packs, which she was saving for Gu Ning.
Therefore, she was sorry that she couldn’t give them her last bit of food.
As for water, they still had a bottle left.
Each of the patients got a small sip from the bottle.
They didn’t drink much.
After making its round among the critically injured patients here, about half of the water was still left.
Tang Yuxin looked at the sky overhead.
The weather was indeed gloomy, and the wind blowing on her body seemed even colder.
Her mood started to dampen with the increasing wind.
If the wind was strong, it might not rain.
She opened the bottle and put it in front of a patient.
But just as the patient was about to drink it, a hand reached out from nowhere and snatched the water bottle from Tang Yuxin’s hand.
Tang Yuxin quickly turned around and grabbed the water bottle back without thinking.
This water was meant for these patients.
She and Gu Ning had refrained from drinking much of it themselves.
The patients, thinking about those who were more severely injured, hadn’t drunk much either.
Who could be so shameless?
“Give it to me,” a woman screeched, nearly piercing Tang Yuxin’s eardrums.
“You wretch, give me the water.
They are all dying anyway, why do they need water?
This water is mine.”
As she spoke, she pushed Tang Yuxin and snatched the water bottle, hastily pouring it into her mouth before Tang Yuxin could react,
“Leave me some,” another woman rushed over and the two women started fighting over the bottle.
They scratched each other’s faces and pulled each other’s hair in desperation.
If Tang Yuxin were asked if she knew these two women, she would have to regretfully admit that she did.
