When Zhang Hongyang woke up, he unexpectedly found himself lying in the County Hospital.
It was already past lunchtime by then, and he only then felt desperately hungry.
Just thinking about what happened in the morning left him utterly at a loss and deeply anxious, not knowing what to do.
On the verge of collapse, dejected, lost, he wished he could chop off his own hand.
Xie Peng was attending to him, bringing some food, urging him to take a couple of bites.
Zhang Hongyang was very hungry, ravenously scooping up the food, almost choking with tears. People need iron, food is steel, missing a meal makes you unbearably hungry.
Xie Peng was anxious at his side, urging him to eat more slowly.
Zhang Hongyang was already in despair, and said directly: "How the hell can I not eat fast? If I don't, I might not be able to keep this official job in the future."
"What? This..." Xie Peng was frustrated, and, come to think of it, it was a fact.
