Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

Su Wuli was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her.

Su Yuan's face showed a hint of teasing.

"What zombies?" Su Wuli asked back.

"Then why did you buy so much medicine?"

Su Yuan pointed to the pile of things.

"You bought a bunch of food before, which I found strange. Now you're buying a bunch of medicine. Your behavior is really like someone hoarding supplies in a post-apocalyptic movie."

Looking at Su Yuan's serious face, Su Wuli suddenly felt like laughing.

But she couldn't laugh, because she couldn't explain it to her.

"Just in case," Su Wuli said helplessly. "It's better to be safe than sorry."

Su Yuan looked at her, her expression clearly saying, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

But Su Yuan didn't ask any more questions.

He simply helped her carry the two large bags of medicine, muttering to himself as they walked.

"Alright, I'll keep this in mind. Should we buy canned food next time? Tell me the truth, how many days do we have left?"

Su Wuli ignored her.

But in my heart I thought, canned food... it seems like I could actually buy some.

After leaving the pharmacy, Su Wuli did not head back towards her apartment.

Su Yuan followed behind her, carrying two large bags of medicine, her steps a little unsteady.

"Aren't we going back? This isn't the right direction."

"Let's go to the supermarket again," Su Wuli said, turning her head.

Su Yuan was taken aback, then asked in surprise, "Going again? Didn't we just buy some yesterday?"

Su Wuli didn't explain, she just walked faster.

We have food and medicine, what else is missing?

There was no kitchen or fire in that room; all the food he ate was delivered from outside.

But he wouldn't eat the food that was offered to him, fearing it might be poisoned.

She brought bread, milk, and dried meat, but how long can those things last?

What if she can't enter the dream next time?

What if she doesn't dream for several days?

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt, and I thought about buying something that could be stored for a longer time.

can.

She remembers that the supermarket had a canned goods section with luncheon meat, black bean fish, and braised pork, which could be stored for several years.

and also……

She remembered his room.

Does house arrest mean the door can be locked from the outside so he can't get out?

But what if someone comes in?

just in case……

He's probably not under house arrest and won't have any weapons with him. If someone wants to harm him, what will he use to defend himself?

Knife.

Su Wuli suddenly realized that she needed to buy a knife.

Upon arriving at the supermarket, she went straight to the food section.

The canned food shelf is at the very back, with all kinds of brands and flavors.

She started putting things into the shopping cart.

Luncheon meat, here you go.

Black bean fish, take it.

Canned fruit...

Su Yuan pushed the cart behind, her expression changing from shock to numbness.

"Kiri..." she said weakly, "Can I ask you a question?"

"ask."

"You really are preparing for the end of the world, aren't you?"

Su Wuli continued putting canned food into the car on her own.

"Or perhaps..." Su Yuan's voice grew even weaker, "that you know something I don't? Like... like aliens are coming? That Earth is going to be destroyed?"

Su Wuli turned around and glanced at her upon hearing this.

Su Yuan shrank back. "Fine, I won't ask anymore."

She waved her hand, "You can continue. I'll just treat this as a preview of life before filming an apocalyptic movie."

Having collected most of the canned goods, Su Wuli pushed the cart in another direction.

Kitchenware area.

Su Yuan followed behind, her eyes growing increasingly confused. She had thought she had reached the highest level of acceptance, but she never expected...

"Weren't we buying canned food? What are we doing here?" She looked completely astonished.

"I'm buying a knife," she replied, her eyes scanning the shelves.

Knives of various sizes and uses are neatly arranged on the shelves.

She walked over and picked one up.

The blade is black, and the edge looks quite sharp.

The packaging says "Outdoor Survival Knife".

She didn't really understand these things, and after glancing at them a few times, she put the knife into her shopping cart.

Su Yuan's eyes widened involuntarily.

Su Wuli picked up another one.

This one is smaller and lighter, making it suitable for concealing on your person.

She put it in too.

Su Yuan opened her mouth.

Su Wuli continued reading.

There are also foldable ones that can be folded up so they don't take up much space, and I ended up taking another one.

Xiaoyuan's voice was hoarse, "Wu Li, calm down."

Su Wuli turned to look at her, not understanding what she meant by that.

Su Yuan pointed at the knives in the shopping cart, her expression as if she had seen a ghost.

"Why did you buy all this? What are you going to do with it?" Her face was full of shock. "Wu Li, what's wrong with you?"

Su Wuli looked down at the knives, realizing that this was all she could do.

"Just keeping it as a backup..." she answered somewhat hesitantly.

Su Yuan looked at her with the expression of someone looking at a stranger.

After thinking for a moment, she suddenly remembered something and lowered her voice, "You...did you have a nightmare?"

Su Wuli was stunned, not understanding what it meant.

"Ever since that day and that incident," Su Yuan said cautiously, "you've been acting strange lately, buying food, buying medicine, and now a knife... Are you scared?"

Su Wuli looked at Su Yuan and saw genuine worry in her eyes. Suddenly, she realized that Su Yuan was referring to the kidnapping incident.

"I'm fine." After saying that, she added, "Really, I'm fine."

Su Yuan stared at her for a long time.

He then sighed helplessly, took the knife from Su Wuli's hand, and put it into the shopping cart.

"Fine," Su Yuan said. "Then let's buy it. You won't tell me even if I ask."

She couldn't help but add, "But if anything happens, you must tell me. Don't keep it to yourself; I'm worried about you."

Upon hearing this, something in Su Wuli's heart softened.

"Hmm..." She nodded slightly.

During a break on set in the afternoon, Su Wuli sat in a chair, lost in thought.

Su Yuan called her several times before she heard her.

When the director was explaining the scene to her, her eyes started to wander as she listened.

Whenever she had free time, she couldn't help but think about it.

What is Yu Chen lacking?

We have food, medicine, and a knife.

What else does he need?

His room had carved windows covered with paper, letting in light but not people.

There was a desk, a bookshelf, and a low couch in the room. That was all.

There is no fire.

Everything he eats is cold.

Su Wuli remembered that those canned goods were all ready to eat after opening.

Moreover, it's quite obvious that winter is approaching in the novel, and eating cold food in winter would be uncomfortable, right?

What if he has a stomachache?

She started to wonder if there were any self-heating products.

After searching online, she ordered a box of self-heating rice.

What else is missing?

He has candlesticks in his room, but what if the candles burn out?

She bought several large bags of candles, enough to burn for a long time.

The mattress on his bed wasn't thick, and the weather was getting colder.

She bought a thin blanket that doesn't take up much space; it folds up very small, but unfolds to cover her whole body.

With nothing to do while he was imprisoned, he could only read military books and memorials.

Su Wuli then bought a few miscellaneous books, such as travelogues and storybooks, thinking they would help him pass the time.

The next day, Su Yuan looked at the piles of packages in the living room of her apartment and was too lazy to ask any questions.

She just muttered unconsciously, "Wu Li, you still say it's not post-apocalyptic hoarding?"

"Read fewer novels," Su Wuli couldn't help but poke her cheek.

night.

Before going to sleep, she moved all her things onto the bed and then held them tightly in her hands.
