May 7, 2023, 11:53, Cafeteria's first floor, Student Cafeteria.
Lin Yi and Wei Liang lined up obediently at the meal service window along with some students.
The meal service window in the Student Cafeteria was located straight inside the entrance, resembling the large transparent glass found in hospital pharmacies, with a gap below allowing trays to pass through.
Each window's glass was labeled with a striking number, marked by a red circle with a numeric code, arranged from left to right as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
The #1 and #5 service windows were each tucked into dimly lit corners of the Student Cafeteria, yet these had the longest lines.
Lin Yi looked around curiously and then realized that there were no service windows numbered 6 to 9 on the first floor.
"Service windows #6 and #9 are on the second floor," Wei Liang explained, noticing Lin Yi's confusion.
"Oh," Lin Yi nodded in acknowledgment of Wei Liang's explanation.
