Liu Guilan told Ye Weiwei to get some rest. After having dinner at her house that evening, she left in a hurry because she had to go to work and finish work early to prepare dinner. She was very busy.

Only Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao remained in the courtyard.

Ye Weiwei looked at the man standing there with his back straight like a javelin, his face serious as if he were being inspected by a leader, and couldn't help but find it amusing.

She's not some monster, why are you so nervous?

Now that there are no outsiders, just the two of them, she can openly and carefully examine this man.

Ye Weiwei's gaze slowly swept over Huo Xiao inch by inch.

Needless to say, her face was the first thing that caught her eye.

Ye Weiwei's gaze lingered on Huo Xiao's lips for a moment before moving downwards.

Broad shoulders and a narrow waist, looking slim but not thin, probably the type who looks slim in clothes but has curves underneath. The abs he's developed are also the kind that are perfectly toned and look great to touch...

Huo Xiao felt a surge of heat rising within him under Ye Weiwei's bold and passionate gaze. Wherever her eyes fell on his body, the muscles in that area would involuntarily tense up.

Just as Ye Weiwei's gaze lingered on his abdomen, Huo Xiao finally couldn't help but interrupt.

He had to interrupt her; if he let the girl keep watching, some of his secrets would be exposed.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ye Weiwei tilted her head to meet Huo Xiao's deep eyes and said mischievously, "It's nothing, I just want to get to know my boyfriend better."

Huo Xiao's heart pounded erratically. He took a deep breath and looked directly into Ye Weiwei's eyes. "You really want to be my girlfriend?"

Ye Weiwei was speechless. It turned out that even after she had confessed her feelings in public to this extent, this guy was still doubting her.

She rolled her eyes in annoyance, "I won't get any candy if I lie to you!"

Huo Xiao's heart was pounding.

He thought every movement of the little girl in front of him was so beautiful that he couldn't help but want to hug her and cherish her.

He was startled by the terrible thoughts that were running through his mind!

If someone had told him before today that he would fall in love with a girl at first sight, he would have scoffed and thought they were talking nonsense.

But when he rescued Ye Weiwei from the water today, the moment she opened her eyes and their eyes met, he was irresistibly drawn to her and instantly fell for her.

Feelings come quickly and fiercely, without any reason!

However, he knew that Ye Weiwei had someone she liked and a fiancé, so he had absolutely no chance. Moreover, he disdained to do such a despicable thing as forcing someone. Therefore, when he heard those rumors, he was worried that Ye Weiwei's reputation would be damaged, so he immediately went to find the village chief.

He thought his relationship would end without a trace, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. Ye Weiwei broke off her engagement with her fiancé and took the initiative to date him!

Huo Xiao felt like he was dreaming!

I still feel a little dizzy!

But he was ultimately rational.

"Why? Isn't the person you like Zhao Mingzhe?"

Although he had only been back in the village for a few days, he had already heard a lot about her and Zhao Mingzhe. Even the young children in the village knew that this very beautiful Ye Zhiqing was extremely fond of Zhao Mingzhe and wished she could pester him to be with her every day.

Ye Weiwei wasn't surprised that Huo Xiao would ask that question. This man had strong self-control and was very rational; he wasn't the kind of person who would be easily swayed by emotions.

"I guess it's because I died once that my mind suddenly became clear. Someone like Zhao Mingzhe is not good enough for me. I deserve better."

After speaking, Ye Weiwei looked at Huo Xiao with a direct and frank gaze.

Something exploded in Huo Xiao's head. He took two steps forward and fixed his gaze on Ye Weiwei. "Are you sure you're serious? You know, this is no joke!"

Ye Weiwei said with a serious expression, "I'm sure, I'm not joking!"

Huo Xiao took a deep breath, his nostrils filled with a clear and sweet fragrance, the scent of the young girl, which was intoxicating.

He stared at Ye Weiwei for a long while before declaring, "I won't let you down!"

After saying that, he turned and ran away as fast as he could... He ran away!

Ye Weiwei was a little confused as she looked at the man's back!

She thought this man was about to hug her!

She was still struggling with whether to play hard to get or not.

That's it?

Look at his speed, he doesn't look like someone with a limp at all!

I was originally planning to check on his leg injury, but now—haha! I'll wait until I'm in a better mood.

Knowing that she was going to the Huo family for dinner that evening, and that it would be her first time visiting, Ye Weiwei decided to bring a gift. So she searched her space for something suitable.

This space of hers is a treasure passed down through generations of her family. In addition to the dozen or so acres of land and her large villa, there is also a huge storage space where time is frozen.

One of the 100-square-meter warehouses was filled with gold bricks and gold bars.

There are also dozens of warehouses where antiques, jewelry, and jade artifacts are piled up like mountains, in countless quantities.

These things are worthless in the apocalypse, but they can be used as money here. With so much money, she could live a comfortable life without doing anything and just be a lazy bum, eating, drinking, and having fun.

However, her family's ancestral teachings and the education she received from childhood prevented her from living a life of mediocrity.

In addition, the space originally contained a large amount of daily necessities, including rice, flour, cooking oil, various fruits and vegetables, chicken, duck, fish, pork, beef, mutton, clothes, shoes and socks, various tools and machinery, weapons, equipment and medicines.

However, not long after this treasure was passed on to her, the apocalypse occurred.

In the seventh year of the apocalypse, the survivor base where she was located was hit by a massive rat and locust plague. Almost all the food available in the base was wiped out. In keeping with the ancestral teachings of a healer's benevolence, she took out most of the food and medicine in her space to help the survivors in the base and help them get through the crisis. However, she was betrayed by the people she had once saved. They captured her, imprisoned her, and wanted to plunder her space. In the end, they forced her to self-destruct and perish together with them.

Remembering those things, Ye Weiwei put away everything she had taken out of her spatial storage.

What the original owner currently possesses is no secret within the educated youth settlement.

So it's best to keep a low profile for now, to avoid revealing your secrets and causing unnecessary trouble.

There's no time to rush to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things now. Ye Weiwei thought for a moment, "If you live off the land, you can eat from it." She decided to go up the mountain and hunt some wild game to bring back some meat and vegetables.

If she could hunt a wild boar or something, that would be even better. That way, the Huo family wouldn't lack meat to serve guests at night, and the remaining meat could be distributed among the villagers to help her improve her standing here and salvage the already precarious goodwill that the original owner had ruined.
