Chapter 34 p2
When they reached the upstairs, Ji Yang took a look. It was actually a three-bedroom, one-living-room layout.
The space was also quite large. There was a simple and old-fashioned tea table in the living room, and a simple tea room in the corner. Then she smelled a sweet and milky fragrance.
Xie Muzhi put the bag on the sofa and immediately brought her a steaming hot cup of—milk tea!
It was even bubble milk tea!
Ji Yang was stunned. “How did you get these?”
Not only did he get them, but he even made them himself to drink.
Boiling the pearls is quite troublesome.
Xie Muzhi: “I just received them like this. I had a hard time fooling two people into taking them. I just opened the milk tea shop, but the quantity is quite large. I haven’t sold it all, so I made some for myself. How does it taste? It’s my first time making milk tea.”
Ji Yang took a big sip with a straw, savored it carefully, and then immediately nodded. “It’s delicious!”
Seeing that she seemed to like it very much, taking one sip after another, her cheeks would bulge from time to time. After tasting the sweetness, her eyebrows would inadvertently curve, and she lost a lot of her coldness. A smile also flashed in his eyes, and he also took a sip of his own milk tea.
It was indeed delicious, sweet and syrupy.
Of course, after eating and drinking their fill, they still had to exercise.
She couldn’t forget the purpose of her coming.
Xie Muzhi was not vague either. He took her to a dedicated training room. There were charcoal basins and heaters in advance, and the temperature was suitable. Ji Yang took off her outer clothes and began to warm up.
Xie Muzhi also warmed up with her and chatted at the same time.
“The next goal of the base is to get through the floods safely. We have already transported a lot of water transportation tools from the coastal cities. I have prepared a portion. Do you want to take it with you when you go back?”
Ji Yang quickly shook her head. “No need. I’ve already gotten them.”
Xie Muzhi pursed his lips and began to think which “daoye” in Changnan City had the connections to get those things now. After thinking for a while and getting no results, he could only grit his teeth and think of other topics.
After chatting, the fifteen-minute warm-up was over, and the two of them officially began to spar. It was still three hours. After three hours, the two of them were panting and resting. Ji Yang saw that Xie Muzhi was still in good condition and silently moved her leg over.
Not to mention, Xie Muzhi’s massage skills were really good.
The last time she had a massage, although it was sour and painful, and she had wanted to twist into a pretzel when it was uncomfortable, after she had gotten over that, her muscle condition was much better. The next day, there were some after-effects, but they were not serious. On the third day, she basically didn’t feel anything.
Xie Muzhi was also very cooperative and reached out his hand.
After that, Ji Yang took a bath, and Xie Muzhi cooked. This training room happened to have a bathroom. Xie Muzhi told her, “This room has not been used by anyone yet. It’s all new. You can use it as you please. No one else will use it in the future.”
Ji Yang was just about to open the door and go in. Hearing this, her eyelashes trembled, and she turned her head in surprise.
Xie Muzhi had already walked out quickly, followed by the sound of him going downstairs.
Ji Yang opened the bathroom door. The decoration inside was unexpectedly good, no different from before the apocalypse. The tiles were well-pasted, and it was probably also waterproofed. There was a large mirror on the sink, and on the shelf next to it were vacuum-sealed disposable towels and other things.
As expected, everything was complete, and all of them were new.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Xie Muzhi brought up a bucket of ice.
For now, they couldn’t use tap water. The water, after passing through the water pipes, would quickly freeze in such a low-temperature environment.
There was a charcoal basin in the room. With a rack, you could use a kettle to boil water, but it had to be the old-fashioned kind.
The water was quickly boiled. Ji Yang went into the bathroom to take a bath. This was not her own home, so she didn’t use too much water. A simple rinse to wash off the sweat was enough. After she had put on her clothes and came out, she could already smell the fragrance of food wafting up from downstairs.
Ji Yang sniffed and then judged: There must be a meat dish in it!
Xie Muzhi was treating her so grandly. She was a little embarrassed. If she didn’t eat, it would be a waste. She was in a daze for a while with a blank expression. In fact, she had been looking for a long time in her space and had found a large ham!
This is it!
Ji Yang transferred it to her space and immediately felt her bag sink. She then went to open the window to cool the ham. After waiting for a while, she confirmed that it was frozen solid. Only then did she take the ham downstairs and hand it to the head chef, saying concisely, “An extra dish!”
Xie Muzhi: “…”
He glanced at the chicken wings and chicken legs that were being cooked, and then at the vacuum-sealed packaging. The brand of the ham was clear at a glance, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
And Ji Yang was currently the only person who had made him feel this way.
He said helplessly, “You even brought this? Isn’t it heavy?”
Ji Yang nodded as if it were a matter of course. “I can’t eat for free. Everyone’s supplies are tight now. Of course, this ham is my meal fee for the next few times. I won’t bring it next time.”
Xie Muzhi felt a little comforted and cooked even more seriously.
This girl’s strength was a bit formidable. Fortunately, she still liked his cooking, so he could only work on this.
His efforts were not in vain. Ji Yang ate very happily. The chicken wings and chicken legs were fried, and with chili and the like, it was a bit like spicy chicken, but the chicken wings and chicken legs had been specially treated, and the meat was more tender. Eating it in large pieces was more satisfying than small pieces of meat.
It perfectly matched Ji Yang’s taste!
Of course, besides this meat dish, there was also a stir-fried vegetable and a seaweed and egg soup. These two dishes were a little less stunning, but the taste was also very good.
There were only the two of them at the dining table, which Ji Yang liked even more. It wasn’t that she disliked others, but she was not used to eating in a crowd. Perhaps because she had a space, she lived in seclusion and did not have close contact with others. Was this a sequela?
At least she had already learned how to live a flavorful life alone.
After the meal, it was already past five.
Ji Yang politely said goodbye. Xie Muzhi stopped her and stuffed a lot of snacks that girls liked into her bag, directly filling a large bag and tying it to the back of her car. He looked at the person who was at a loss after failing to refuse and said with a smile, “If you bring meal money next time, I’ll let you take more back.”
He had originally planned to take it slow.
Ji Yang: …
She finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and glared at Xie Muzhi.
Xie Muzhi raised an eyebrow, a hint of pride in his eyes. He wasn’t flustered by her glare, but instead seemed to have become even bolder. He suddenly raised his hand and pressed on the helmet she had just put on. “Alright, stop fooling around. Go back.”
Ji Yang: …
Where was she fooling around?!
However, she didn’t say anything and quickly started the ignition. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something. “Where’s the rest of my jade?”
Xie Muzhi: “Hey, I put it in my car and forgot to take it down. That car has been driven out. I’ll send it to you in a few days?”
Ji Yang stared at him intently.
Xie Muzhi silently looked to the other side.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Ji Yang also turned her face away, her voice tight. “Let me know before you come.”
Xie Muzhi immediately looked over. “Okay!”
—
The motorcycle started and quickly drove out.
The cold wind blew in through the cracks, making Ji Yang shiver. Her hot face also gradually cooled down. Thinking of the situation just now, she pursed her lips. She had never considered a significant other.
With the natural disaster raging, and with no guarantee of tomorrow, all her plans were for herself alone.
But sometimes, she would also get carried away.
Ji Yang was not a person who would make things difficult for herself. Since she couldn’t control it, then… she would just lie flat and take it one step at a time.
It was the apocalypse. She would no longer be indecisive.
Of course, it hadn’t reached that step yet. Many things needed to be verified by time.
As she was thinking, the car smoothly drove out of the base, attracting the surprise of many people. It was almost evening, and the temperature would be even lower. There were actually people leaving the base? Were they so desperate that they were driving a snowmobile?
Ji Yang didn’t know what others were thinking, but it was indeed time for her to be a little more diligent.
Before the floods came, she still had many things to do.
You had to know that the first thing that would happen when the temperature rose was that a large amount of ice and snow would melt. Everything on the ground would be submerged. The water would also be dirty, the land would be polluted, the houses would be polluted, the trees would rot…
Even if the government did its best, it couldn’t take away all the resources in this several-meter-high layer of ice and snow.
Many things would definitely be ruined by the flood.
And her space, after being organized, still had half of its space left. She would pack as much as she could. The main target—the cars that had been left in the major parking lots!
Most of the residents had followed the government, which made it more convenient for her to make a move.
