"There are no eternal friends or enemies in the world, only eternal interests. As long as we tie our interests together, we will be everlasting friends. You won't have to worry about your identities being exposed anymore because if you're exposed, my own interests would be harmed..." Jing Shu smiled, revealing her white teeth. "Isn't it simple?"
"But... do we have the same interests?" Wen Jun thought carefully; it seemed like they didn't.
"Of course, we do. Think about it, what are you lacking most right now? Isn't it daily necessities, salt, vitamins, bedding, and cotton clothing? Wouldn't it be perfect if you could eat some vegetables and white rice every now and then, maybe even drink some milk or eggs?" Jing Shu asked, her eyes narrowed.
Xiao Wei nodded. "I want to eat. It's been a long time since I've eaten anything. There's nothing else to eat in the village apart from insects," she said, a bit of biscuit crumb still on her mouth.
