"Hiss!" Yang Chenze gasped, his well-defined knuckles wiping his mouth hard, leaving a trace of crimson on the back of his fair hand.

His eyes darkened slightly, and he tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Sorry, I've been in France for so long that I forgot this is China."

He was so excited to see someone he hadn't seen in a long time that he blurted out the words he had rehearsed in his mind many times.

He forgot that this is Country Z, not the overly open Country F. This time, he was indeed impolite.

Yang Chenze took a long stride, stepping aside from Ye Jingyu, and turned towards Ye Zhi and Song Yuanqing, saying, "I'm sorry, to express my apology, I can give you all the supplies I have on me."

Ye Jingyu glanced sideways at the man beside him who was a little taller than him, and became even more unhappy. No wonder the fans of the original novel all said that he was the bottom; his height of 1.89 meters was actually inferior to this man.

Ye Jingyu secretly released water-based superpowers under his feet. Soon, Ye Jingyu's height was the same as Yang Chenze's, and later he even surpassed Yang Chenze by two centimeters!

Watching helplessly as Ye Jingyu grew taller than Yang Chenze, Song Yuanqing shook his head, his eyes overflowing with doting affection.

Men are boys until they die; a 1.7-meter man is obsessed with being 1.8 meters tall; and now, her 1.89-meter-tall man is obsessed with being 1.9 meters tall.

She could already imagine Ye Jingyu crying and telling her tonight that he wanted to grow taller.

Ye Jingyu, who was about to cry tonight, refused to look at Yang Chenze's apology, saying, "No need, our family doesn't lack supplies."

What a joke! Their family doesn't need his supplies at all. Everyone might run out of supplies, but their family is the only one that won't experience a shortage.

Yang Chenze's eyes were filled with deep remorse. "What will it take for you to forgive me? How about you punch me in the face again?"

Ye Jingyu looked at the face that suddenly approached, and the physical discomfort made him swing his fist hard. This time, he aimed for Yang Chenze's eyes.

"You've already asked me to beat you up, so I'll grant your wish!"

Ye Zhi took out melon seeds from her spatial storage and distributed them to the people around her. She even changed her posture, going from flying in the sky to being held in Old Master Song's arms.

"Beat him up! Beat him up!" The little voice cheered for Ye Jingyu, her little fists clenching with great force.

I am the loyal guardian of my parents' love; anyone who tries to destroy their love is a villain!

[Beautiful left hook, here comes the right hook!]

Ye Jingyu not only fulfilled Yang Chenze's wish, but also Ye Zhi's wish. After punching Yang Chenze in the right eye, he punched Yang Chenze in the left eye.

Yang Chenze, his handsome face covered in scars, let out two painful groans. Hiss, the blows were really ruthless. The pain from his body brought his heart, which had been suspended in mid-air, back to a stable state, and the light in his eyes was exceptionally bright.

I really don't know how he managed to get that sparkle in his eyes despite having two black eyes from being punched; they just looked so bright.

Having never suffered a loss in years, Yang Chenze was repeatedly defeated by Ye Jingyu. Given his previous fiery temper, he would have retaliated with a punch long ago.

However, he did not fight back.

There are two reasons. First, he did indeed ask Ye Jingyu to hit him, and if he fought back, he would lose all face.

Secondly, he was willing to be beaten this time; he was happy to be beaten, and a few more beatings would make him feel more at ease. He thought that after the apocalypse, he would never see him again…

Ye Zhi looked at Yang Chenze, who was still so happy despite being beaten, and was speechless. She even felt that this man, who was considered the dominant one by other book fans, might have some masochistic tendencies.

How could he laugh so happily? The light in his eyes was almost blinding her!

杨宸泽接下来说的话更是让叶芷惊讶，感叹他对叶璟禹的爱情可歌可泣，“要不你们跟着我，我让你随便揍，要不我跟着你们，你随便揍我。”

In short, he's definitely sticking with Ye Jingyu. Even if they can't be lovers, they'll still be brothers!

Ye Jingyu: "Get lost!"

Yang Chenze: "Okay." After saying that, he really rolled away, looking very happy.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and gave Ye Zhi a meaningful look. When he turned back, the smile on his face changed several times, and finally turned into the joy of reuniting with an old friend.

Long time no see, Ye Baobei. I wonder if you still remember him.

After that interruption, his wind-based abilities had recovered somewhat.

They moved with the speed of the wind, arriving and departing in the same way.

He ran away, but the snow beneath his feet melted a little, though not very noticeably.

At this moment, Ye Zhi frowned slightly, her gaze deep. How come she remembered that Yang Chenze was not a wind-type ability user in the original work? When he fought with Song Ranran, he clearly used a fire-type ability user. How did it become a wind-type ability user now?

Moreover, when he was leaving, why was he looking at her? He should have looked at her dad. The look in his eyes made her scalp tingle and her heart ache.

The wind carried Yang Chenze's bubbly voice, which stirred Ye Zhi's hair, but the hair of the others remained completely still.

"See you tonight!" The wind carried a familiar energy fluctuation in his voice, making Ye Zhi's heart flutter.

"Idiot, go see your mother." Ye Zhi couldn't help but curse under her breath, her hand unconsciously stroking the black and red thread hanging around her neck, while the blue star pendant on her chest seemed to radiate a little warmth.

The feeling Yang Chenze gave her was the same as when she first saw the Blue Star Fruit on the technology tree.

Grandpa Song's puzzled voice rang in Ye Zhi's ears, "Ah, whose mother does Sweetie want to see?"

Ye Zhi was even more puzzled than Grandpa Song, "Grandpa, didn't you hear that?"

Grandpa Song lifted Ye Zhi in his arms. "Is Sweet Bean so tired that she's hallucinating? Oh dear, Grandpa's little darling, you've lost weight."

It was obvious that Grandpa Song hadn't heard it; he even suspected that Ye Zhi was hallucinating.

Ye Zhi's gaze swept across the faces of Song Yuanqing, Lu Ke, and Ye Jingyu, who had just walked over, and she found that they all had the same worry on their faces.

Ye Zhi, unwilling to give up, asked, "Did you see that strange uncle turn around?"

Everyone answered, "No."

Ye Zhi: [! Am I the only one who saw Yang Chenze turn around and heard him say "See you tonight"?]

Song Yuanqing became even more worried after hearing Ye Zhi's strange thoughts. He reached out and touched Ye Zhi's forehead to check her temperature. "Hallucination? She doesn't have a fever."

Next, Grandpa Song and Ye Jingyu also touched Ye Zhi's forehead one by one. Ye Jingyu, still worried, ran to the RV and took out the essential electronic thermometer.

"36.5℃, no fever."

After exchanging glances, the three old men, including Grandpa Song, ruled out the possibility that Ye Zhi's fever was causing hallucinations and began to believe that what Ye Zhi had just said was true.

Ye Zhi fell into deep thought. Suddenly, System 001 issued another task, "Beep—"
