When Bi Qiaoan came out of the kitchen, she found that Shen Yanming was the only one left in the living room.

"Where's Zhang Heping? Did he go back?"

"Um."

Bi Qiaoan placed two plates of fried steamed buns on the dining table, and Shen Yanming got up and went to the kitchen to serve two bowls of seaweed and egg drop soup.

"I cooked quite a lot today, and I thought Zhang Heping would stay for dinner."

Shen Yanming placed one of the bowls of soup in front of Bi Qiaoan, saying, "You can't always come to our house for a free meal, Heping will feel embarrassed."

"It's not impossible, we're all going to cook anyway, it's just a matter of how much we cook. By the way, can Zhang Heping cook?" Bi Qiaoan knew that Shen Yanming's friends were all people who never went into the kitchen.

Shen Yanming chuckled, "His family's storage room is mostly filled with instant noodles."

"Okay, he's a real talent!"

After the two finished dinner, Shen Yanming went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while Bi Qiaoan picked up her phone and sent messages to Song Wennuan and Jiang Shanshan.

Bi Qiaoan: Here's a link for you guys. Take a look first, and then we'll chat!

Bi Qiaoan sent the introduction of Qingli Mountain to her three-person group chat, and then sent another message to the group chat ten minutes later.

Bi Qiaoan: Have you finished watching? Do you have any thoughts?

Song Wenuan: Are you going here?

Bi Qiaoan: Yeah, during the National Day holiday, are you interested in coming together?

Jiang Shanshan: I want to go, but the price is too high for ordinary people!

Bi Qiaoan was momentarily speechless. After a moment's thought, she said, "The price is a bit high, but it should be worth it. If you didn't care about the price, would you like to go?"

Song Wenwen: I want to go, but it will cost me three months' salary, which is a bit painful.

Jiang Shanshan: I'm even more so. My family members haven't worked for a long time, and I just transferred five thousand yuan to them.

Bi Qiaoan: Shanshan, didn't any of your family members sign up for the labor service program?

Jiang Shanshan: Yes, I participated. They've been working themselves to the bone lately, but at least it's a job. It's just that it's been less than a month, and they haven't received their salaries yet.

Bi Qiaoan: So... you guys aren't going? Shen Yanming's classmates are going too, and a few of the younger guys from our workplace are going as well. If you go, you might even hit it off with someone.

Song Nuanwen: Xiao An'an, I know you mean well, but your husband's classmates are too well-off, they definitely wouldn't look at girls from ordinary families like us.

Bi Qiaoan: Miss Wen Nuan, what are you saying! You're such a good person, whoever marries you will be very lucky. Shen Yanming's friends aren't materialistic people at all. I've mentioned it to them privately, and they all have a very good impression of you.

Jiang Shanshan: You've gotten bolder, you little rascal! You've done so many things secretly.

Bi Qiaoan: I'm worried about you guys too, honey! Haven't you thought about how abnormal things are this year, and whether it will get even worse in the future?

Song Wenwen: What does this have to do with whether or not we are looking for a partner?

Bi Qiaoan: I think having someone you can trust by your side might give you more courage when facing difficulties. Moreover, having a pillar of support can give you more motivation to survive when facing adversity.

Song Wenwen: But my family is my support. They give me courage and motivation, and I will work hard for them.

Jiang Shanshan: Yes, Qiao An, finding a partner really depends on fate. Just like you said, Shen Yanming's friends have a good impression of us, but that's all they have. If they really like someone, how could they not exchange contact information and ask each other out for a meal or a movie?

Looking at the messages from Song Wennuan and Jiang Shanshan, Bi Qiaoan realized that she had fallen into a misconception.

Both she and Shen Yanming had no family, so they were each other's closest and most trusted people. With Shen Yanming, Bi Qiaoan felt warm and sweet, dependent and relaxed.

Therefore, Bi Qiaoan never paid attention to the power of her family; she only knew that she needed someone to accompany her in the apocalypse.

Therefore, Bi Qiaoan wanted her best friend to also have a partner to share her life with, so she wanted to play matchmaker, because in Bi Qiaoan's mind, Shen Yanming's friend was trustworthy.

But who can predict fate? Just like Jiang Shanshan said, if someone is really interested in another, how could they not even ask for their contact information and instead ask her to create opportunities for them?

After Shen Yanming finished cleaning up the kitchen, he saw Bi Qiaoan sitting listlessly on the sofa.

"What's wrong?" Shen Yanming asked as he sat down next to Bi Qiaoan.

After handing the phone to Shen Yanming, Bi Qiaoan turned to the side and hugged his waist tightly with both hands, pressing her face against his firm back, and said in a muffled voice, "What I thought was kindness was just wishful thinking."

Shen Yanming quickly finished reading the chat history. "Your intentions were good, and your actions did not harm anyone's interests. After discovering the problem, you were also brave enough to admit your mistakes. So I think my Qiao An is a great girl."

As he spoke, Shen Yanming pulled Bi Qiaoan close to him, looked into her eyes and said earnestly, "The best thing about my Qiaoan is that she never forces others to accept her values. She has her own ideas, but she can also listen to other people's opinions."

Bi Qiaoan was a little embarrassed by the praise and said shyly to Shen Yanming, "But I really want to travel with them. Even if the two of them don't click with Zhang Heping and the others, they might still be attracted to other people."

After she finished speaking, Qiao An realized that she had made a mistake again. "Oh dear, why did I do this again? I... I just want them to be happy."

"I know, but when it comes to matters of the heart, only the person experiencing it knows whether it's hot or cold. We can just observe from the sidelines."

"Oh well!"

Bi Qiaoan nestled in Shen Yanming's arms and picked up her phone to send a WeChat message to her group of friends.

Bi Qiaoan: Ladies, are you really not considering going to Qingli Mountain? Your little An'an will be there to keep you company!

As expected, Song Wenwen and Jiang Shanshan refused. They planned to do laundry, sleep in late, and then watch a movie and have a big meal together during the holiday, which would also count as celebrating the holiday.

Bi Qiaoan sighed: Okay, then have fun. Yanming and I will bring you gifts.

Seeing that Bi Qiaoan had put down her phone, Shen Yanming took out a bowl of milk and papaya from his spatial storage. "Okay, don't be sad, have some fruit."

Bi Qiaoan looked at the large bowl in her hand, its color quite beautiful. "Why do you want to add yogurt to the fruit?"

Shen Yanming chuckled, placing his right hand to his lips. "While supplementing vitamins, you're also getting calcium. Haven't you noticed how well you've been developing lately?"

"I'm already in my twenties, what's the point of developing yet!" Bi Qiaoan said angrily.

"Whose underwear was a size too small, so they had to exchange it all?"

Hmph, trying to smash a bowl...
