Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies-Chapter 22 - : Mango Pancake

Chapter 22: Mango Pancake

Su Yinhe led Chi Yan upstairs and brought him to the dessert shop.

Once Chi Yan arrived at the dessert shop, he wouldn’t leave.

Su Yinhe saw the longing in his eyes.

“How do you like it? See anything you fancy?”

“I love everything.” Chi Yan felt like he had arrived in heaven.

“Take whatever you like, the gold bars you gave are more than enough.” Su Yinhe had become a rich woman by then, as she had exchanged enough gold bars to fill a small room.

...

By the time she returned, she would be fabulously wealthy.

Then she would reach the pinnacle of her life.

Chi Yan, being an adult, chose to take everything.

Chi Yan picked out desserts while Su Yinhe was in charge of packaging.

However, she was too slow in packing, so Chi Yan ended up packaging desserts as well.

Chi Yan was much faster than her.

Chi Yan’s hands were beautiful, and even the act of packaging the desserts was pleasing to the eye.

A feast for the eyes.

Su Yinhe mentally noted.

They were busy for nearly two hours before they had packaged one of every kind of dessert.

Most of them were packed by Chi Yan since he wanted to eat them, naturally, he put in the most effort.

Meanwhile, Su Yinhe was slacking off the whole time.

“Can we eat something in the store?” Chi Yan was tempted by a piece of Mango Pancake, but as a polite person, he still asked Su Yinhe first.

“Eat, eat as much as you like.” The gold Chi Yan had given could buy the whole store, so why not enjoy some treats?

Su Yinhe gestured grandly.

Chi Yan smiled at her.

Beautiful people look good doing anything, even eating.

Chi Yan ate elegantly, bite by bite, until finally, a bit of cream stuck to the corner of his mouth. He gently dabbed it with his fingertip, his tongue peeking through subtly.

He also wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he kept his eyes fixed on Su Yinhe as he licked the cream off his fingertip.

Su Yinhe: “!”

Su Yinhe turned around to compose herself.

Tonight’s inspiration was secured.

“Cough, I’ll go fetch a trolley.”

Su Yinhe nearly stumbled as she walked away.

Chi Yan watched her retreating back and subtly curved his lips. Then, he pulled out a wet wipe to clean his mouth and fingertips.

His fingers were distinct and as pale as jade, the wet wipe somehow adding a sultry touch as it glided over them.

Considering the quantity of desserts, Su Yinhe returned with two trolleys.

However, there were too many desserts, and even two trolleys weren’t enough. Chi Yan had to carry a few extra items down.

It was only when they reached the ground floor that Su Yinhe remembered, Chi Yan had a Space superpower.

Why didn’t he just store everything in his space?!

Su Yinhe blinked and looked at the smiling Chi Yan.

Noticing Su Yinhe’s gaze, Chi Yan smirked at her.

Su Yinhe felt inexplicably flushed.

For some reason, she felt like she had been tricked.

“Ah! Finally down! Boss! I’ve been keeping a close eye on the store!” Lin Murong was delighted to see them.

“So much!” Lin Murong saw the desserts filling the two trolleys.

Indeed, having money means being capricious.

Lin Murong glanced at Chi Yan.

Hehehe. Good friend.

“Thanks for your help. Take some snacks.” Su Yinhe thought she and Chi Yan would only go upstairs for a moment, but she had no idea that packing desserts alone would take so long.

“Really?!” Lin Murong didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise. Snacks, who isn’t tempted?

But everyone was hungry, and everyone who came to the supermarket bought fulfilling items. Nobody bothered with the snacks that couldn’t sate hunger.

Snacks don’t fill up your stomach, and they make you thirsty.

In fact, everyone was not only short on food but also on water. If it weren’t for the abundance of Water Element Superpower Users at Sun Base, who organized daily water distributions, many would have died of thirst.

After the apocalypse, the land was contaminated, and so were the water sources.

Drinking a few sips was okay, but drinking more could be fatal.

If people weren’t close to dying of thirst, they wouldn’t choose outdoor water sources like well water, river water, or lake water.

Rainwater was no good either; its contamination was even stronger.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, you could still find some bottled mineral water, but now, the main source of water came from Water Element Superpower Users.

But the water each person could collect daily was limited.

It was enough to ensure you wouldn’t die of thirst, with a little to spare.

Anything more than that would cost Contribution Value.

“Sure, take whatever you want,” Su Yinhe said with a grand gesture.

Chi Yan looked at her, feeling a sense of déjà vu.

Having the willingly nonchalant Lin Murong pushing a cart full of snacks as he rushed in.

Su Yinhe calculated the cost for Chi Yan and realized he still had plenty of money left after buying desserts.

She told him how much money remained.

The sweets from this small shop were priced quite high—it counted as a “luxury item” in the entire Galaxy Supermarket.

But Chi Yan had brought a lot of gold. The price Su Yinhe gave him was higher than for most people.

So even after buying every dessert, he still had a lot of money left.

Chi Yan nodded, packed the desserts in the cart into his space.

Then he pushed the cart up to the second floor.

He grabbed another cart full of desserts.

He really liked desserts. Su Yinhe watched Chi Yan’s busy figure, deep in thought.

This was different from the men she remembered.

It was her first time seeing a man who liked sweets so much.

Maybe he liked to chew on raw sugar?

Su Yinhe began to ponder this.

The supermarket sold sugar, and there were several varieties.

Chi Yan spent the rest of his money on sweets and wet wipes.

When Lin Murong finished picking out snacks, Chi Yan still hadn’t finished spending his money, still carting his wet wipes.

Lin Murong opened a bag of chips and soon became numb to it.

Su Yinhe came over and took one to eat.

Tomato flavored.

Hmm. She still preferred the lime-flavored ones.

“Has he always been this rich?” Su Yinhe asked.

At this, Lin Murong perked up.

“Pretty much. Before the apocalypse, Chi Yan was already the son of a rich family. After the apocalypse, he awakened his Water Power and Space superpower.”

“With the water sources contaminated, Water Element Superpower Users were in demand. A flick of the finger could trade for a lot. He also had a Space superpower, and when we initially went out to gather supplies, he would just wave his hand, and entire shelves of goods would disappear. Not like us, who could only move things box by box.”

At this, Lin Murong looked envious.

“At the start of the apocalypse, everyone was busy trying to survive, but Chi Yan started hoarding supplies early. While others were still coming to terms with the situation, he had stockpiled enough supplies to last him for over a dozen lifetimes.”

“Unlike me, without a Space superpower. The supplies I gathered were washed away by floods,” Lin Murong said, clutching his chest in pain.

Once, his family had also been wealthy.

He too found many supplies.

But the apocalypse was merciless, with floods and extreme heat. His stored supplies either got washed away or deteriorated and melted.

Later, he got smart and stored most things in Chi Yan’s space, taking them out when needed.

It wasn’t very convenient, but at least it kept the supplies safe.

However, over the years, they were all used up.

And Chi Yan, that wasteful heir, for the sake of enjoyment, traded many of the things stored in his space.
