Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Taking the Bait

"We can discuss this later; let’s solve the problem first."

Sun Chan blushed and nodded.

Gu Junming walked a few steps with a cheerful smile, suddenly turned back, and took her hand. Sun Chan felt panicky at first, then realized something cool was in her palm. She looked down and saw a piece of crispy candy wrapped in red plastic, a white candy block, small and shiny.

Gu Junming smiled at her, "When my sister was a child, she went out to pull weeds and got scared by a mouse. She kept crying, so my dad gave her this candy to eat, and she felt better after eating it. Here, take it and don’t be afraid."

"Okay." She wanted to say that she wasn’t a child anymore, but she still smiled and nodded.

"Wait for my news." Gu Junming said and left.

Sun Chan sucked on the candy, her eyes felt a bit teary. In two lifetimes, this was the first time she ate such a delicious candy.

Yan Kai met with Gu Junming, who told him Sun Chan’s solution.

"How is it? Finally, we found a woman to be cannon fodder, but we can guarantee the hostage’s safety, right?"

Yan Kai replied, "No problem."

Sun Chan returned to the dormitory and washed the dirty clothes she had changed out of. Just as she finished hanging them out to dry, Yang Liu came in, placing a lunchbox in front of Sun Chan.

Inside was cabbage and potato slices, along with two cornmeal pancakes, handed to Sun Chan: "Your lunch."
