Jade Ruyi

Yuan Rihui's sleepiness vanished instantly when he heard what Long Yu said.

Noticing more vehicles joining the queue, he urged, "Brother Long, let's go! If we don't hurry, we will be stuck waiting until noon to get inside."

Although Long Yu didn't fully understand Yuan Rihui's urgency, he returned to the truck and started the engine. Soon, the off-road vehicle and the truck joined the queue at the side gate, lining up with the other vehicles.

As they slowly moved forward, Yao Ran woke up. She rubbed her eyes sleepily and asked in a hoarse voice, "A Yu, is the gate open?"

Long Yu opened a bottle of water, handed it to her, and replied, "Yes. We are queuing to get inside now."

Yao Ran took a few sips of water to moisten her throat before looking outside.

Seeing that it was still some time before their turn, she took out a few steamed buns and handed some to Long Yu. Since steamed buns didn't have a strong aroma, they were safe to eat outdoors.
