Chapter 439: Failure of the Cold War

He Rui carefully checked the shelf life of the food.

Two of the packets of potato chips had expired, but the bowl of noodles and mineral water were still within their 12-month shelf life and could be consumed.

He rummaged through the drawers in the room again and finally found a bunch of drinks and alcohol in the small refrigerator that had long been out of power.

He doesn't drink alcohol, but he can let Brother Ji keep it as a resource.

There were plenty of drinks, so the water problem was solved, but the food...

He Rui stared at the pitiful supplies spread out on the big bed and couldn't help but sigh.

This amount of food is not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth.

Two buckets of instant noodles could barely make him 80% full.

After his evolution, his appetite increased. Three meals a day was not enough, and before going to bed at night, he would be so hungry that he would ask his brother Ji for a midnight snack.

That means I have to eat four meals a day.

If he wanted to support himself and eat, he would have to consume eight buckets of instant noodles every day... After counting like this, He Rui felt that he was quite a eater.

In comparison, his brother Ji's appetite is quite easy to eat and is enviable.

He Rui stood up and prepared to go out to sweep the place. He planned to kick open every room in the building that had not been searched, hoping to pick up some leftovers.

Just as he reached the door, he found it wouldn't open. He Rui turned the door lock and was studying it when the sound of water in the bathroom behind him suddenly stopped.

He heard the bathroom door being opened, and the next second, a warm body came up from behind, wrapped its arms around him, clasped its hands in his, and held him in its arms.

The BGM quieted down again the moment they touched each other.

"Where are you going?" Ji Changqing's voice sounded softly in his ears, very gentle.

He Rui's body stiffened, and a terrible guess flashed through his mind.

Could it be that his brother came out naked?

Aren’t you hugging him naked now?

He didn't dare look back.

He reached out his backhand to touch the person behind him, and his fingertips touched the soft bathrobe fabric.

He Rui finally felt relieved and relaxed, and he was no longer nervous.

My hand was gently held again, and I heard a laugh in my ear.

He Rui's ears burned, he glanced back at the other person, and snorted, "I'm going to go find supplies."

Ji Changqing's eyes swept over the instant noodles and snacks on the bed, and then looked back with regret at the box of family planning supplies that was originally placed on the table with the food but was not noticed by the idiot.

He said, "I'll help you."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the food and water above the sixth floor of the hotel were taken into his area and then displayed in the room.

He Rui heard a strange and chaotic noise, broke free from his restrained hands, turned around, and saw that the originally empty room was now filled with supplies.

Instant noodles, puffed foods, water and drinks... were neatly stacked up in half the room. They couldn't even fit on the table and had to be piled on the floor.

He Rui's eyes lit up, and he looked at Brother Ji with admiration, subconsciously wanting to praise him: "Brother Ji is so awesome..."

Halfway through the conversation, I suddenly remembered that I was planning to have a "cold war" with this person.

He Rui shut up instantly and swallowed the second half of the sentence.

Looking at those instant noodles, he wondered if his brother was so efficient in getting him supplies, could it still be considered self-reliant?

But if you think about it carefully, without his brother's care, apart from food and drink, there are many basic survival problems that have to be solved by him.

The simplest thing is that even the spare clothes are provided by the other party.

He wanted to make some instant noodles, but he didn't have any hot water.

The temperature was also adjusted by the other party, so he never got cold.

So how can he become tough without relying on the other party?

It feels like it's impossible to do...

The more He Rui thought about it, the more depressed he became. He felt like he was useless and had completely lost the ability to survive independently. He might be able to survive without the other person's care, but he would definitely live a miserable life.

In this situation, what basis does he have to be angry with this person?

It seems like he is really going to become a gigolo.

Just when I was feeling depressed, the other person put his arms around my waist again.

"I'm sorry." The man's voice was very soft, with an obvious hint of weakness.

He Rui's mood suddenly became very complicated. He was still thinking about how to get angry with his brother, but this man apologized proactively with a good attitude.

It seems that compared with the other two, he is very stingy.

Always thinking about random things.

Thinking of the reason why he was angry before, he couldn't help but ask: "You were in the bathroom just now...Why didn't you let me in?"

Ji Changqing's eyes flickered, "Why do you want to go in? Do you want to watch me take a shower?"

He Rui was silent, "..." He didn't have such an idea.

I just watched the other person walk in and wanted to follow.

No reason.

If I had to say, it might be because he likes to harass people close to him.

"I was in the bathroom just now..." Ji Changqing leaned over and whispered a few words in He Rui's ear, "Actually, I was planning to reward myself."

After He Rui understood, the tips of his ears suddenly felt hot and his cheeks flushed instantly.

"Are you following me here to help?" The man chuckled, his tone full of teasing.
