Chapter 97: dating

But that’s not a reason for them to steal food.

Qin Mingzhou gave them a proper beating.

Because of this, Qin Mingzhou didn’t look for any underlings for help, he did the work himself.

It was slow, but it was slow, after all, he had nothing but time on his hands.

Actually, he wasn’t alone in this, Lin Murong also came to help.

Of course, it wasn’t for free, Qin Mingzhou promised a hefty reward.

...

Chi Yan wasn’t interested in that stuff and didn’t want to play the laborer, so he didn’t help.

Su Yinhe also didn’t want to trouble herself. She’d help if she was in a good mood, and just watch if she wasn’t.

Seeing them so busy brought joy to Su Yinhe.

Indeed, that saying was right: happiness is always built on the suffering of others.

While they were making jerky, an unexpected visitor suddenly showed up.

Lin Nianbei, dressed all in black like a crow, strode toward Su Yinhe, flanked by a few Superpower Users.

Lin Nianbei had been in such a mess these past few days because of those darn rivals.

Those rivals had somehow gotten a bunch of supplies and were buying people’s hearts in the base.

They even teamed up to try to take him down.

They didn’t succeed, but it left him greatly weakened.

It had taken him a long time to find out their supplies came from a supermarket.

Lin Nianbei had always wanted to take over the supermarket, but the darn place was toxic; they couldn’t take anything from it.

So be it.

What really burned him was that those rivals had gotten their hands on it and used that to make him take a major fall.

Lin Nianbei was livid.

And now, here he was, once again eyeing the supermarket.

This time, he didn’t come empty-handed. He would have loved to take over the supermarket without spending a dime, but that was unlikely. So he thought to just grab some Crystal Cores and buy the stuff in the supermarket.

So this time, he brought some Crystal Cores with him.

He couldn’t bear to part with High-level ones, so he brought a bunch of Level 1 Crystal Cores.

Su Yinhe looked at that bag full of Level 1 Crystal Cores and was speechless.

Great, she thought, just planning to shear her like a sheep.

“Boss Su, I’ve come to do business with you. What kind of attitude is that?” Lin Nianbei was unhappy with her attitude.

Back at the base, people were always kissing up to him.

But here with Su Yinhe, not only could he not get any advantage, but she also didn’t show him any respect.

“What did I do? Did I curse at you?” Su Yinhe felt quite innocent. She had just rolled her eyes without uttering a word.

Why not save those good eyes of yours for something better?

“Boss Su, I’ve come to do business with you.” Lin Nianbei couldn’t keep arguing about her eye-rolling and simply repeated what he had said before.

He said it with pride as if he was doing Su Yinhe a favor by offering to do business with her, and she was taking huge advantage.

Su Yinhe: “…”

The previous times he came, he acted smart, now it seems his brain got squished by a door.

The way he spoke made him look so foolish.

She had thought he was a sly and cunning man.

Turns out she had misjudged him.

“I don’t want to do it, you can go.” Su Yinhe really didn’t want to talk to Lin Nianbei, whose brain was clearly waterlogged.

What if talking to a fool became contagious?

“You! Don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.” Lin Nianbei directly threatened her.

“Thanks, but I don’t drink alcohol.”

“Uncle, what are you doing? You’re so old, why are you always picking on Little Galaxy? Little Galaxy is so pitiful, a little girl watching over such a big supermarket. It’s exhausting, and on top of that, she’s threatened by a nasty old man, my poor Galaxy…” Lin Murong clung to Lin Nianbei, wailing.

Su Yinhe was taken aback.

What is this…

Su Yinhe glanced at Chi Yan beside her.

Chi Yan nodded at her, giving her a reassuring look.

Su Yinhe: “…”

Su Yinhe felt relieved.

And with that, she left Lin Nianbei to Lin Murong.

“Let go, Lin Murong, release me!” Lin Nianbei looked at Lin Murong, about to explode with anger.

Lin Murong, that guy, was always dragging his feet.

“I’m not, Uncle, please stop causing trouble for Galaxy. She’s already exhausted managing such a large supermarket at her young age, so why are you still treating her like this? Do you have no heart?! You have no heart!” Lin Murong actually clung onto Lin Nianbei’s pants, lying on the ground and starting to throw a tantrum.

He had no shame.

He just wanted to see if his seemingly respectable uncle had any shame left.

Of course, Lin Nianbei did care about his dignity. He tried to pry Lin Murong’s hands off, but Murong was clinging too tightly. If he kept at it, he would lose his pants.

Lin Nianbei had arrived with a fierce momentum, but left with his tail between his legs.

As for the deal of trading those shoddy Crystal Cores for supplies, that was gone too.

After Lin Nianbei left, Lin Murong even spat in contempt.

They didn’t look like uncle and nephew, more like sworn enemies.

“Galaxy, don’t worry, I won’t let my uncle lay a finger on you,” Lin Murong assured Su Yinhe as he looked at her.

Su Yinhe nodded, somewhat dazedly.

This was a learning experience.

So you could handle things this way.

But…

“Who did you learn this from? Why do you roll on the ground so skillfully?”

Lin Murong’s face stiffened, and he began to clumsily change the subject.

“What are we having for dinner tonight? Can we have duck blood spicy soup?”

Su Yinhe: “…”

That was a truly clumsy diversion.

Lin Murong didn’t want to talk about it, and Su Yinhe wasn’t insistent on prying.

She was just curious.

She didn’t press on, but Qin Mingzhou ended up spilling the beans.

“He learned it from the aunties at the base,” Qin Mingzhou blurted out, betraying him. He had forgotten who packed his dried meat every day.

“Hey! Qin Mingzhou, are you asking for death?!”

“I’m just chatting with my sister, what’s with the huge reaction? Got a guilty conscience?”

“You’re sick, you know that? Believe it or not, next time I pack dried meat, I might add some laxatives.”

“You’re the one who’s sick.”

“You’re sick.”

“You’re sick.”

The two of them argued and eventually started fighting.

Su Yinhe: “…”

Su Yinhe was used to it, really.

She had grown accustomed to it.

After all, when mealtime came around, they would come to eat.

Su Yinhe was very calm.

So was Chi Yan.

After all, he also often fought with Qin Mingzhou.

None of the three were easy to deal with.

But if she chose to turn a blind eye, it was much easier on her mind.

With the time she spent worrying about them, she might as well think about tonight’s menu.

Life in the apocalypse was truly joyful.

It was just like the retirement life she had envisioned before.

Each day was spent playing or thinking about what to eat.

Duck blood spicy soup sounded good, along with minced pork with eggplant, mapo tofu, Dongpo pork…

Su Yinhe took her notebook, opened the browser on her phone, and diligently began to search and record recipes.

Chi Yan just watched her.

Her relationship with Chi Yan was still in the ambiguous phase.

She had forgotten to ask Tongzi last time if she would age.

It wasn’t the right time to get involved with Chi Yan.

Though occasionally she had some not-so-decent thoughts, she was actually quite proper.

She couldn’t play with someone’s feelings.

So she planned to wait until Tongzi came back and get clarification, then she’d consider dating Chi Yan.
