Jiang Xiao held Shi Shi's tiny hand as they walked across the overgrown sports field, treaded on the gravel strewn path, and eventually stopped in front of an old building.
This was the university's cafeteria, though the sign at the entrance was faded and flaking, its familiar structure and windows were instantly recognizable.
The door of the cafeteria was ajar, and Jiang Xiao cautiously pushed it open, worried something unknown might suddenly leap out.
The glass door creaked, and a musty smell mixed with the scent of rotting food hit them.
Shi Shi wrinkled her little nose, but her hunger forced her to endure the discomfort.
The two cautiously entered the cafeteria, which clearly hadn't been tended to for a while.
But it actually hadn't been many days, as according to the diary, it hadn't been abandoned for more than ten days.
Some food ingredients were scattered on the floor, some already moldy, emitting a pungent odor.
