But even if she's a rough guy, the house is hers, the terrace is hers, the savings are hers, the supplies are hers, and even the digital group is hers.

It's only right that Xiao Jie does more work. If they have to rely on her for everything, then they should just break up.

Moreover, he doesn't look bad now; on the contrary, he has a more powerful and beautiful appearance than before.

Luo Ning calmed herself down in less than a minute.

"I just planted a few fruit trees because I was bored. There's still a lot of work waiting for you. I'm preparing to pot some pineapples, dragon fruit, and sugarcane over there. When you have time... let's work together."

Luo Ning decided to pretend for the last minute and dump everything on Xiao Jie to make herself seem a bit heartless. Anyway, Xiao Jie would end up picking it all up by himself, so saying a few nice words wouldn't make any difference.

Xiao Jie understood her little scheme perfectly well, and was happy to play along. His deep eyes held a hint of indulgence as he nodded gently, "Okay, I've got it."

The air was instantly filled with a sweet floral fragrance, and Luo Ning looked away.

You really can't look him in the eye; it's practically cheating!

The digital group didn't understand the atmosphere between the two, and only felt that they were somewhat superfluous.

"Alright, let's eat, I'm hungry." Luo Ning took the lead and walked downstairs.

Xiao Jie followed behind her, his smile growing even wider.

Downstairs, Xiao Jie prepared a large table of dishes. The house was full of edible things, and he would satisfy their cravings as long as they liked them.

Luoning's pickled radish and old duck soup, lamb chops (123), pork bones (124), braised fish (125), and also made cold jellyfish salad, oyster sauce lettuce, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and steamed a big pot of rice.

Fruits, drinks, and desserts are also essential.

Luo Ning was always curious about how he could make so many dishes in such a short time.

Xiao Jie served Luo Ning a bowl of old duck soup, "Have some first, it'll whet your appetite."

Luo Ning picked up the glass and took a sip. A sound came from her bracelet. She opened it and saw Ji Zhoubai.

As soon as the video call connected, Ji Zhoubai was leaning weakly against a chair on the other end, holding a large white steamed bun in his hand.

Ji Zhoubai ate steamed buns with pickled vegetables, which Luo Ning had given him last time, but he couldn't bear to eat them.

Seeing that Luo Ning's table was laden with fish, meat, vegetables, soup, desserts, and fruit, Ji Zhoubai's eyes widened.

"You stay at home every day, eating and drinking well, haven't you ever thought about coming out to earn some crystal cores?"

Luo Ning asked while sipping her soup, "You suddenly called just to tell me this?"

Ji Zhou made the video call to urge Luo Ning to open her business quickly, because without her food, he felt that life had no meaning.

"When are you going to open? I'm starving. Let me tell you, I got my salary last month, plus bonuses, and I have several hundred crystal cores. Don't you want them?" Ji Zhoubai's tone was coaxing.

Luo Ning finished the bowl of soup in one gulp, exclaiming in admiration, "It's delicious!"

Ji Zhoubai swallowed hard, looking at the bowl of pickled radish and old duck soup. He could almost smell the sour and spicy aroma through the screen. He took a bite of the steamed bun, and it didn't seem so bad after all.

While eating, Luo Ning slowly said, "It's too hot, I don't want to go out. Besides, there are people watching my house lately, and I need to investigate those people. I don't have time to make a pittance from you."

Upon hearing that someone was monitoring her neighborhood, Ji Zhoubai immediately pressed, "Who would dare to monitor you! Have you investigated? Do you need any help?"

Ji Zhoubai was initially a little sad that he couldn't go to Luo Ning's house for dinner last time, feeling that she didn't consider him a friend.

But when Fu Xing and the others returned, they brought him a half-finished hot pot.

Ji Zhoubai forgave Luo Ning immediately, and even showed her more concern than before.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard that someone was watching her neighborhood, he immediately became nervous, afraid that something had happened to her.

"If you ask me, you should just move to the base. It's too dangerous for just the two of you to live outside."

Ji Zhoubai was unaware of Luo Ning's terrace and sincerely advised Luo Ning to move to the base so that she wouldn't have to open the door in the future.

He went to her door, convinced he could find something to eat.

Ji Zhoubai thought smugly.

Luo Ning shook his head, "The houses at the base are too small, I'm not used to living there."

Actually, if 123 upgrades once more, it will be able to fold her house up and take it with it.

She'll leave Ningcheng then; she won't be going to any base.

Ji Zhoubai was about to tell her not to be so dramatic, he had heard Fu Xing and the others talk about her house.

The small apartment, over 30 square meters, is fully furnished with furniture and a color TV, and is considered one of the better apartments in the complex.

She's also picky.

But when I looked up, I saw where she was: a large, single-level apartment with bright, clean windows, spacious rooms, and a superb view.

Actually, when the apocalypse first started, he wasn't used to the base's rooms, which were even smaller than the toilet in his house before the apocalypse.

It hasn't been long, and he's already satisfied with a house of just over 30 square meters.

Ji Zhoubai felt as if he had fallen into depravity.

Their only daily pursuits were saving people and getting food.

Before the end of the world, he was a descendant of a family of doctors, and his family's wealth had been accumulated over several generations.

But in just a few months, his life underwent a dramatic change, and his thinking changed accordingly.

He may have found a reason why he enjoys associating with Luo Ning.

In the apocalypse, everyone breaks away from their established ways of thinking and values, reshaping a new set of rules and order for this post-apocalyptic world.

Only she retained her pre-apocalyptic mindset and stayed with her.

It gives people the impression that the world hasn't undergone such earth-shattering changes yet.

While talking to Luo Ning, Ji Zhoubai forced himself to finish the two hard-to-swallow steamed buns on the table in the video.

Even if you don't stay at the base, you still have to open for business! Several people have asked me these past few days when you're coming back to the base.

After finishing his meal, Luo Ning took a small spoon and scooped out some rock sugar sweet potato.

Xiao Jie's rock sugar sweet potato dish is soft, sweet, and fragrant, not too sweet, and it's even been chilled in the refrigerator. It's the perfect comfort food after a greasy meal.

Ji Zhoubai swallowed hard, his throat bobbing. He hadn't eaten Luo Ning's food for half a month.

"Can you sell me a bit? Just that rock sugar sweet potato you have. I can find someone to come and get it myself," Ji Zhoubai said pitifully.

After eating steamed buns and bread for half a month, he really wants to eat something more natural.

These sweet potatoes were from Luo Ning's terrace, and she felt they tasted better than any she could find elsewhere.

After scooping out the last spoonful, Luo Ning put down the small plate and looked at Ji Zhoubai with disdain.

"You're supposed to be a renowned genius water-type healer at Xuanwu Base, and the vice president of a military hospital. Can't you be a little more dignified?"

Ji Zhoubai pouted, "You're so promising. If you're so promising, don't complain if you eat steamed buns and bread for half a month."

It is said that the quantity of steamed buns and bread will be reduced later, and an energy bar and nutrient solution have been developed that can help maintain the body's functions.

"I work so hard, and I can't even get a bite to eat. What's the point of my life?"
