Lin Yi and Wei Liang lined up at the No. 3 meal service window as per the old routine.
The cafeteria was packed with more people at dinner than at lunch, all heads crowded together densely.
Lin Yi glanced at his watch.
17:33.
"Five-thirty... I hope I can manage to finish eating before the sun sets and leave," Lin Yi thought to himself.
He and Wei Liang slowly moved forward with the line, chatting sporadically.
Wei Liang was up to get his meal first, just like before, he pointed through the glass at the dishes inside using his finger, a method that effectively avoided disputes with the Cafeteria Auntie over mistaken dishes.
I won't name the dishes, I'll eat whatever you give me if you get it wrong.
This was Wei Liang's textbook method for buying meals.
However, complications arose this time.
The Cafeteria Auntie showed a touch of confusion in her eyes while serving Wei Liang.
