Subsequently, Bi Qiaoan ordered a bunch of desserts from Manager Bai under the pretext of needing to host a banquet and give gifts for her wedding.

Bi Qiaoan told Manager Bai that she wanted a lot, about a hundred of each type, and that she could pay a deposit first, but Manager Bai had to guarantee the quality of the desserts.

Because Bi Qiaoan wanted a lot and didn't specify the exact types, it was impossible to calculate the amount immediately.

Store manager Bai said that he could give Bi Qiaoan a list later. After confirming that everything was correct, Bi Qiaoan could transfer the money online and the store would arrange for production.

Bi Qiaoan nodded in agreement, and the two added each other as friends on their phones.

After Manager Bai left, Bi Qiaoan and Shen Yanming enjoyed the food in front of them.

"I don't know how they made it, it's so delicious. It's a pity I don't know much about this stuff," Bi Qiaoan said, shaking her head after taking a bite of cake.

“If you like it, let’s buy more. We can pack a few more items to go when we pay the bill,” Shen Yanming said after swallowing his milk tea. “I’ll buy an oven tomorrow, and we can experiment with it at home.”

Remembering that the mobile villa she bought in Europe had an oven, Bi Qiaoan said, "Isn't there an oven?"

Shen Yanming understood Bi Qiaoan's meaning. "We don't have any at home yet, so we need to get some. I'll go buy two more bicycles tomorrow."

Bi Qiaoan nodded after hearing this, "You can add whatever you think is appropriate."

After the two finished eating, they packed up a few of the restaurant's signature desserts to go. Shen Yanming, holding an umbrella, put his arm around Bi Qiaoan and got back into the car, driving back to Qingyu Community.

When she got home, Bi Qiaoan took all the new clothes to the small balcony, removed the tags, and put them in the washing machine to rinse them. As for the fact that they couldn't be washed by hand or machine, Bi Qiaoan ignored it all. Why be so fussy when it's almost the apocalypse?

Shen Yanming put the packaged desserts into his storage space, placed the new shoes in the shoe cabinet, and stood up to ask Bi Qiaoan, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Bi Qiaoan shook her head, "I don't want to eat anything. I ate too much today, and I'm not hungry at all!"

"Then let's eat some fruit, and eat dinner when we're hungry."

After Bi Qiaoan hung all the washed clothes on the balcony, her phone rang. It was a message from Manager Bai.

Store Manager Bai: "Ms. Bi, we have over a hundred kinds of desserts in our Sweet Pastry Shop. Do you want them all? I mean, if we want a hundred of each kind, wouldn't that be too many?"

Bi Qiaoan: "I'm going to deliver it outside, so it doesn't matter if there's a lot. I can use it all up, as long as you can guarantee the quality. I hope you give me the freshest ones."

Store Manager Bai: "If that's the case, I can calculate the price for you. To show our sincerity, your order will enjoy a 20% discount."

After a short wait, Manager Bai sent a form with the name, quantity, unit price, and total price listed. Bi Qiaoan glanced at it and found that there were nearly two hundred kinds of desserts. Many of them were similar, and some she had never seen before at Sweet Pastry Shop. Bi Qiaoan raised her eyebrows, wondering if she was being ripped off.

They're all Swiss rolls, but Manager Bai deliberately divided them into bunny Swiss rolls, giraffe Swiss rolls, panda Swiss rolls, matcha red bean Swiss rolls, chocolate cream Swiss rolls, and so on. Even so, so what? Bi Qiaoan likes them!

Bi Qiaoan glanced at the total amount on the spreadsheet and immediately transferred the money to Manager Bai. Bi Qiaoan was overjoyed; Manager Bai was so considerate! Hehe, she had perfectly satisfied her little urge to stock up on desserts.

Manager Bai was overjoyed to receive the transfer. Seeing the recent sluggish business, she had cleverly divided the cakes in the shop into very specific categories, hoping to order more desserts.

Store Manager Bai thought that Miss Bi would probably cross out a portion, but to his surprise, Miss Bi readily agreed to take it all!

This is a big order! If we close this one deal, it will be enough to cover the store's monthly income.

Store Manager Bai suppressed his excitement and said, "Ms. Bi, you have ordered too many. I can guarantee the quality, but it may take a long time. Also, we cannot make all the desserts in one day."

Bi Qiaoan: "You can arrange it as you see fit. You can make some every day, and contact me to pick them up when they're done. As long as it's all finished within half a month, it's fine."

Store Manager Bai: "Won't this interfere with your wedding?"

Bi Qiaoan: "No, I'm also sending them out in batches, so you'll need to pack them into gift boxes for me after you've finished making them."

Store Manager Bai: "Okay, I'll definitely do my best to help you!"

Bi Qiaoan put down her phone, and Shen Yanming asked, "Have you made the contact?"

“Well, we originally wanted them to deliver it, but then we thought it would be more convenient for us to pick it up ourselves,” Bi Qiaoan said, leaning on the armrest of the single sofa and looking at Shen Yanming beside her.

"Hmm, once we pick up the goods, take them for a walk around outside, and actually deliver some, there shouldn't be any major problems." Shen Yanming reached out his left hand and ruffled Bi Qiaoan's hair. "Your hair seems even smoother now."

Bi Qiaoan sat up, looking intently at Shen Yanming, "Really?"

Shen Yanming hugged Bi Qiaoan tightly, his right hand stroking her long hair that hung down her back. "Hmm, it's so black and straight, it feels like silk, so smooth and comfortable."

Hearing Shen Yanming praise her like that, Bi Qiaoan smiled and touched Shen Yanming's cheek. "I also think your face looks even more handsome. Look, your skin has become whiter and is especially smooth. You don't even have a single pimple on your face. I'm so envious!"

As she spoke, Bi Qiaoan even sighed dramatically, "You're so beautiful, you're really making it impossible for us girls to survive, hahaha!"

Bi Qiaoan was tickled by Shen Yanming, and she laughed so hard that tears streamed down her face.

After joking around for a while, the two snuggled together to watch the movie, Interstellar.

"After reading so many novels, I've come to the conclusion that the apocalypse in novels is usually caused by things like laboratory virus leaks, comet collisions with Earth, or aliens releasing poison."

In novels, the endings of post-apocalyptic worlds sometimes involve killing zombies and establishing a new order, sometimes it involves interstellar travel and colonizing new planets, and sometimes it's total annihilation.

Watching the movie, Bi Qiaoan remarked, "I wonder what caused the apocalypse on our planet, and what its final fate will be."

Shen Yanming hugged Bi Qiaoan tightly, "It may be due to over-exploitation of resources in the past, or it may be due to the emission of too many pollutants, but in any case, this apocalypse has been friendly enough to mankind. Our planet may be repairing itself."

It was almost 11 o'clock when the movie ended.

Bi Qiaoan rubbed her stomach and puffed out her cheeks. "I'm a little hungry."

Shen Yanming took out a bowl of vegetable porridge from his storage space. "Eat up, or we'll have to go out in the rain again."
