No one dared to make a sound. In the end, it was Cao Yifan who was pushed to the front. He handed the thing in his hand awkwardly.
A heart-shaped piece of bread with a… toothpick on it?!
After looking at it, Su Shanshan was even more confused. What is this? she wondered.
Cao Yunjin, who had followed her downstairs, quickly explained, “We saw that you came back looking unhappy just now and wanted to prepare a surprise for you. We thought that girls would prefer desserts, but we couldn’t find any cakes now, so…”
Su Shanshan chuckled, feeling warm inside. She had only treated these people as temporary partners, but she knew that from this moment on, she would treat them as true partners.
‘When Cao Yifan saw her smile, his expression instantly tumed smug. He said, “Sister Su, it wasn’t easy for us to cut this cake into the shape of a heart. This toothpick can be a substitute for a candle. This was my idea.”
The few men behind him usually wielded knives and guns, but doing such things was really difficult for them.
Su Shanshan did not let their good intentions go to waste. After thanking them, she took the ‘cake’ and finished it. Cao Yunjin and the rest heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that she had recovered. When she entered the house just now, her expression was really so sad. They did not know what
happened to her during her trip. Although she was very strong, she was still a girl. They wanted to protect her.
Soon the food was ready on the dining table, with a big pot of rice and two dishes, one meat and one vegetable. This meal was a simple meal before the apocalypse, but in the apocalyptic era, it was not easy to get hot rice. If not for the bag of rice that Su Shanshan took out from her space, they would
probably be eating instant noodles and bread now.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the pot of rice. Cao Yunjin smiled and scolded them for being useless as he got them to scoop the rice quickly.
They finished the big pot of rice and two big pots of vegetables and meat. Su Shanshan felt a little stuffed. She did not expect Chen Jin, who looked like a burly man, to know how to cook so well.
“Chen Jin is the best cook in our team. His culinary skills are comparable to a chef,” Cao Yunjin bragged to Su Shanshan.
Su Shanshan nodded in agreement. He was right.
Chen Jin was embarrassed by their praises, and his dark face blushed slightly.
After having their fill, everyone was a little tired and returned to their rooms to rest.
$u Shanshan stood in her room and looked through the window at the people walking around outside the base. This was her favorite spot in this room. She stared blankly out the window, as if she was concentrating on something or staring into space.
Time passed slowly. When the sky tured dark, she suddenly moved and jumped out of the window.
In the Gu family’s villa in the central district.
Gu Jincheng finished reading the document in his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. The familiar headache came again. Ever since he exhausted his superpowers and suffered a backlash a year ago, he had had this headache every night.
He leaned back in his chair in frustration and could not help thinking of the woman he saw at the entrance of the central district today. He shook his head and threw this woman’s face out of his mind. This was not the first time he thought of that woman today. What is wrong with me? Do I really lack
women? he wondered.
There was a sudden noise by the window. Gu Jincheng’s expression froze, and he quickly got up and hid in a corner.
After Su Shanshan got out of the eastern district, she went straight to the central district. In her previous life, she was trapped in the Gu family’s villa in the southwestern base by Gu Jincheng, She tried her best to escape but could not. She did not expect that in this life, she would not be able to enter even
if she wanted to..
