Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Xingchen’s words set off a huge commotion in the group. The large group that had been quiet for a long time became active again.
“What… Really?”
“Is he lying? Would Ye Xingchen be so kind?”
“Yeah, and don’t forget he killed so many neighbors.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Maybe this is some kind of trap. We can’t believe it.”
“I can’t take it anymore. Whether it’s true or not, I have to go and take a look. I really can’t take it anymore. I haven’t eaten anything for three days!”
The group chat was noisy, and many people could not help but run to Zhang Yi’s side to see if it was true.
“Heavens…Heavens! It’s actually true!”
Zhang Yi and the others were wriggling on the balcony, cursing and swearing, but no one in the house paid any attention to them.
Everyone’s attention was drawn to the open boxes of food in the corridor.
A photo was posted in the group, showing boxes of potatoes that had been touched.
“So many…So many… Heavens! Our family finally doesn’t have to starve anymore!”
Suddenly, the group became even more lively.
Those who didn’t believe him were already carrying a bunch of bags to pack things. On the way, they even met neighbors who were carrying things back.
The previous defenses seemed to have been dropped at this moment. Everyone seemed to have returned to the time before the heavy snow came and greeted their neighbors with smiles on their faces.
“Hurry up and go, there are still many more!”
After Zhao Hao returned home and stored everything, he sent a message to Ye Xingchen. “Little Ye, Brother Zhao is not very agile, so he couldn’t bring back much for you.”
He took a picture of the supplies he had brought back. “See when you have time. The snow in front of my house has been cleaned by my brothers. 1 can send the things to you at any time.”
“There’s no need. Brother Zhao, you keep it. These things aren’t mine to begin with. 1 lied to you last night. If I didn’t lie to you, you wouldn’t have taken them. I just wanted you to take more supplies home. Don’t think about sending them back. Look at the group. If you send them back now, these things will only end up in someone else’s hands.”
Zhao Hao looked at Ye Xingchen’s message and tears welled up in his eyes.
This Ye Xingchen was really a good person. He had clearly not helped Ye Xingchen at all, but the man had already helped him twice. This time, he actually made up a lie to let him store more food.
Ye Xingchen didn’t pay much attention to Zhao Hao’s words of gratitude.
After all, he couldn’t possibly keep the food for Zhang Yi. Instead of letting those heartless neighbors divide it up, it was better to ask Zhao Hao to find some people to pick a portion first.
At the very least, he would still need Zhao Hao in the future.
Lin Sijia had already gone to wash the dishes and started to prepare lunch. Ye Xingchen was a little tired of eating too much restaurant food and suddenly missed home-cooked food.
In front of Lin Sijia, Ye Xingchen took out a few potatoes, a few carrots, and a large piece of beef brisket from his space.
“I want to eat curry for lunch. You know how to make curry, right?”
The spices were taken out one by one. Lin Sijia didn’t even dare to blink. She stared at Ye Xingchen in surprise as he took out the items one by one like magic.
After last night, Lin Sijia’s brain was working again.
Ye Xingchen seemed to be telling the truth. The apocalypse was real, and so was his superpower.
“I know how to cook it. What kind of spice level do you want?” Lin Sijia took the things that Ye Xingchen handed over and placed them in the wash pan.
“Slightly spicy, add more coconut milk.”
With a woman at home, life was indeed much more convenient.
Now that the quality of life had improved, Ye Xingchen wanted to go out and walk even more.
Before he went out, he had to make preparations to establish his prestige.
He wanted to replace Zhang Yi’s previous position in everyone’s hearts and make the entire community’s owners fear and respect him. Only then would he be safe when he went out.
Time passed quickly, and the morning passed in a noisy manner.
Zhang Yi’s family did have a lot of things. They were bought by Zhang Yi’s father with real money after the apocalypse.
The group had been quiet for the entire morning, and now there were people talking in the group one after another. Many of them were sharing the supplies they had snatched from Zhang Yi’s house.
Ye Xingchen looked at his phone with a mocking smile on his face.
At a time like this, there was still a fool bragging in the group. He really thought that his life was too long and easy.
Lin Sijia shouted from the kitchen and brought out a pot of fragrant and steaming curry beef brisket.
“The curry is ready. I’ll go get some rice.”
The white and translucent rice was lying quietly in the bowl. Lin Sijia carried the two bowls of rice and sat at the seat where she was in the morning.
“Time to eat. Doctor Lin, eat more.”
Ye Xingchen leaned against the back of the chair and covered the rice with a spoonful of curry beef brisket. However, he was not in a hurry to eat it. After Lin Sijia had eaten a few mouthfuls, Ye Xingchen picked up the spoon and slowly scooped the rice.
He couldn’t trust Lin Sijia. Even though Lin Sijia had already moved in, she was a doctor. If she could drug Zhang Yi and the others, she might be able to drug him at any time.
After a few mouthfuls of rice, Ye Xingchen carefully tasted the food. He was even more satisfied with Lin Sijia. Not bad. She was good-looking and useful. Moreover, the taste of the food was not bad. Although it could not compare to hotel restaurant food outside, it would not be a problem for her to open a small restaurant with her culinary skills.
It was only by nighttime that the supplies in Zhang Yi’s house were divided up by everyone.
In addition to the people who shared their supplies in the group, there were also many people who started to thank Ye Xingchen in the group.
“I’m sorry, Little Ye. I’m sorry I scolded you like that before. I’m really sorry!”
“That’s right, Little Ye. We treated you like that before, but you’re still so good to us.”
“You’re really a good person, Little Ye!”
“Sigh, I’m really not human. I actually went to smash your door before!”
“Thank you so much. Thank you so much. I haven’t eaten for three days. I finally have something to eat today!”
“I didn’t expect that Zhang Yi to be such a person!”
“That’s right! He clearly had so much food, but he only gave us so little meat before!”
“That’s right! That bit of meat was not even enough for a bite! You want us to rush to the front and smash the door with such a small gift!”
“Little Ye is so kind. If not for Little Ye, I wouldn’t have known that Zhang Yi was such a scumbag!”
“My family was starving to death last night. 1 went to beg Zhang Yi if he could give me a piece of meat, but he actually got his subordinate to kick me!”
Ye Xingchen was half-lying on the sofa watching a movie, waiting for Lin Sijia to call him for dinner.
“Heh, you just scolded me before, and now you’re praising me as a good person? How funny..”
