Grandpa Fu saw that it was about time, so he decided not to disturb the young people.

After hanging up the video call, Luo Ning and the others continued playing.

Even after staying up all night, their excitement hadn't faded.

Only Xiao Jie was a little anxious; he still had plans for today.

"It's already 10 o'clock, do you want to rest for a bit before playing again?"

Xiao Jie stood behind Luo Ning and handed her a cup of coffee.

But his voice was loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.

"It's only ten o'clock?" Liang Xiao's mind was a little fuzzy. "Ten o'clock is still early, let's play one more round, just one more round."

Cheng Rang was too tired to play anymore, mainly because Bai Yu, who was sleeping in his arms, had numbed half of his body.

A mahjong tile landed on Liang Xiao's shoulder. "It's 10 a.m. the next morning, you idiot. We're not playing anymore. You guys play by yourselves."

Last night, the group played a series of rounds, with some winning and some losing. Liang Xiao is currently sitting at a table with Cheng Rang.

Liang Xiao looked up and glanced outside; it was frighteningly bright.

It's never dark yet, how come it's already the next day? Is this some kind of magic?

Fu Xing had a great time that night and stood up to stretch.

"Alright, that's about it. Let's pack up and get ready to go back."

"No, let's play a little longer, there's still plenty of time."

Xiao Jingran quickly spoke up, as he hadn't had enough fun yet.

He hadn't been this carefree since the apocalypse.

For him, who frequented clubs and loved to have fun before the apocalypse, last night's party was absolutely fantastic.

Xiao Helin rarely stayed up all night like this after he turned thirty, and after this one night, he felt that his body couldn't take it anymore.

Looking into Luo Ning's bright eyes again, he suddenly understood the difference between the two of them.

For the first time, I felt old.

He was indeed not good enough for her. He was already thirty-two, while she was only twenty, in the prime of her youth.

Ji Zhoubai came out of the kitchen. He had spent almost the entire night in the kitchen, eating when he was hungry and sleeping when he was not.

So he's in great spirits now, walking out looking radiant.

"Good morning, how about a cup of coffee to perk you up?"

Ji Zhoubai held a cup of coffee; Luo Ning's place really does have good stuff.

Even the coffee was the kind he used to drink before the apocalypse.

"I want a drink." Shen Yi raised his hands high.

He had just been admitted to university before the apocalypse and hadn't seen anything interesting yet.

He had a great time last night, and he's been in high spirits ever since. He desperately needs a cup of coffee to recharge.

Ji Zhoubai sat on the sofa, elegantly crossing his legs. "Go rinse it yourself. Do you expect me to serve you?"

Shen Yi got up and went to the kitchen by himself.

Zhou Jibai came out from the balcony. He had spent the whole night at Luo Ning's training ground on the balcony. He was really interested in her weapons.

Luo Ning was currently engrossed in the game, and upon hearing that they were about to leave, she immediately tried to persuade them to stay, saying, "Let's play a little longer and leave later."

Liang Xiao and Shen Yi also wanted to continue playing, but they had to listen to Fu Xing's decision. The two looked up expectantly at the same time, "Captain."

Although Fu Xing enjoyed these relaxing days, one day was enough.

They've been staying at home for three days and have already spent a day and a night playing. They need to go back and rest before training, which they can't miss a single day of.

"No, I have to go back to training. If I rest for another day, I'll have to go on another mission."

Having served as team leader for so long, few dared to contradict what he said.

Even if Liang Xiao and Shen Yi were unwilling, they had no choice but to stand up.

Ji Zhoubai didn't really want to leave either; life in Luoning was just too comfortable. Unfortunately, the base needed him for too many things.

He was busier than the bank staff, and this half-day break was something he had worked very hard to get.

Luo Ning hadn't had enough fun yet, but she knew that Fu Xing and the others weren't as free as she was.

Without saying anything more to persuade her to stay, Xiao Jie looked down at her.

"If you want to play, I'll play with you later."

Luo Ning sighed. It wasn't that she wanted to continue playing, but she was a little reluctant to leave the lively scene behind.

Xiao Helin also got up; Wang Hu had sent him countless messages last night.

Seeing his brother get up, Xiao Jingran smiled ingratiatingly, "Brother, we don't have to go on a mission, let's play a little longer."

Xiao Helin gave him a cold glance. "Don't you have any missions to complete?"

Xiao Jingran immediately thought of himself as a space ability user, and he always had to go out with the base to search for supplies whenever someone went on a mission.

"Luo Ning, let's find a time to discuss the cooperation in detail," Xiao Helin said.

Although they couldn't be lovers, he really wanted to be friends with Luo Ning.

Their cooperation still needs further understanding.

Luo Ning nodded, "Okay, I'll contact you then."

"Miss Luo, we'll head back now," Fu Xing said to Luo Ning.

Ji Zhoubai took a bag and packed up the barbecue he hadn't finished eating last night.

Luo Ning's face darkened. "What are you doing?"

Ji Zhoubai paused, wondering if he had been discovered despite being so careful.

"It would be a waste if you didn't finish this, so I'll clean it up for you."

Luo Ning was speechless. Someone who could casually give the Digital Group such a large amount of gold must have been no ordinary person before the apocalypse. Now, however, he was secretly packing up leftovers.

The apocalypse has driven people to such extremes.

Ji Zhoubai was caught, so it was not an easy time for him to continue taking things.

Luo Ning sighed helplessly, "Fine, you can take it yourself. Just be careful not to let it spoil."

With permission granted, Ji Zhoubai quickly began tidying up.

Luo Ning looked at the fruit on the table; it was all brought out for her birthday, and it wouldn't be fresh after being left overnight.

"Would you like some fruit?"

Upon hearing her words, Ji Zhoubai nodded quickly, "Yes!"

Shen Yi and Liang Xiao exchanged a glance. "Boss!"

Seeing the look in their eyes, Luo Ning waved her hand helplessly, "Take it, take it."

Liang Xiao and Shen Yi immediately sprang into action; they couldn't find such fresh fruit anywhere else these days.

Even the items in their bracelet space were listless and dull, nothing like the vibrant ones that the big shots casually placed on the table.

Xiao Helin and Xiao Jingran were utterly astonished by their reaction. "Is your official base really that poor?"

The brothers are the top leaders of the Helin base; they are the ones who select the best items from the base before anyone else gets a chance to use them.

Besides, Xiao Jingran himself is a spatial ability user, and the supplies the two brothers stored up before the apocalypse were enough for them to live on for a lifetime.

Cheng Rang held the sleeping Bai Yu and glanced at Fu Xing.

Fu Xing glared at the three of them. There were outsiders present, yet they didn't know how to behave themselves.

They've completely disgraced their official base.

Liang Xiao and Shen Yi's faces flushed slightly, and they slowed down, forgetting that there were outsiders present.

But Ji Zhoubai completely ignored it. He didn't care about face or substance; what mattered most was that he was well-fed and well-hydrated.

If he doesn't eat his fill, how can he have the energy to work more than ten hours a day?
