Chapter Thirty-Three: Food Shortage
After all, this was something he did for Xu Haiyu, and he hoped to get some feedback from Xu Haiyu.
But Xu Haiyu's eyes were full of impatience.
What do you mean by saying all this? Do you regret it now?
Xu Haiyu believed that she had not asked Zhang Chen to help her deal with Xin Li; it was all Zhang Chen's own choice.
Now that he's saying these things again, Xu Haiyu is a little unhappy: "If I had known you were so petty, I shouldn't have asked you for help in the first place."
She might have succeeded if she had gone to someone else.
Now, not only have they failed to get revenge on Xinli, but they've also gotten injured themselves.
"I'm leaving now."
"I won't stay here and get in your way."
When Zhang Chen saw that Xu Haiyu was still injured and looked miserable as she staggered out, his expression changed instantly.
"I did not mean that."
He quickly stopped Xu Haiyu: "I just wanted to give you a heads-up. If my uncle tells me about this, I'll have to be a little more restrained for his sake and not be so direct anymore. You know my uncle; he really likes He Mingzhou and would never do anything to He Mingzhou for my sake."
Xu Haiyu puffed out his chest with pride: "So, in your uncle's eyes, your own nephew is not as good as my brother Mingzhou."
Zhang Chen's face stiffened.
This comparison made him very unhappy.
But he couldn't bear to be angry with her.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this now. Let's heal our injuries first, okay?"
Xu Haiyu then remembered that she was still injured, and pouted as she whined to Zhang Chen, "It hurts so much."
Zhang Chen's heart immediately melted.
"I'll apply the medicine for you, you'll be fine soon."
As Xu Haiyu watched Zhang Chen meticulously apply the medicine to her, she began to plan her next move.
Anyway, she will never give up until Xin Li leaves He Mingzhou!
...
Because He Mingzhou was on vacation, Xin Li didn't go to Zhang Jinhua's place for dinner that night.
"I didn't know you could cook."
Xin Li leaned against the kitchen door frame, holding a cucumber, a hint of curiosity on her face.
He Mingzhou quickly began washing and chopping the vegetables, his eyes filled with seriousness, as if he was not just preparing a meal but completing a very important task.
Looking at the man's profile, Xin Li finally understood what the saying "A serious man is the most handsome" meant.
Looking at it this way, He Mingzhou is simply exceptionally handsome.
Even someone as cold-hearted and ruthless as her, who had experienced so much in the apocalypse, couldn't help but be moved by her.
"meeting."
He Mingzhou replied to Xin Li with a dry, single word.
Xin Li laughed out loud: "So who did you learn from?"
The fact that He Mingzhou's family could form a marriage alliance with the Shen family meant that He Mingzhou's family wasn't as bad as the original owner had imagined.
He simply chose to join the army in this godforsaken place.
Moreover, considering his status on the island, he's actually not that bad off.
Even if she has some flaws in her appearance, it's really nothing to Xinli, who has seen too many fragments of humanity in the apocalypse.
She also felt that men with some imperfections on their faces were more perfect.
"Self-taught".
He Mingzhou was like a robot; he would only answer one question and never say anything more, which made Xin Li laugh.
But Xinli gradually came to appreciate the advantages of men.
That means he would never lie, and he would answer any question directly.
That's actually quite interesting.
"How does it taste?"
He Mingzhou pursed his lips.
Xin Li's question seemed to touch on his blind spot, and the man who had been answering fluently just now suddenly fell silent.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Xinli laughed out loud without any politeness.
He Mingzhou clearly didn't understand why Xin Li was laughing, and his face showed a hint of confusion.
But his personality prevented him from asking the question that was on his mind; instead, he began cooking seriously.
Seeing this, Xinli stopped bothering him and began to look forward to the feast.
Before long, He Mingzhou brought the hot food to the table.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
The food in front of her gave Xin Li the same feeling that He Mingzhou gave her.
Although it doesn't look perfect, the kernel is actually incredibly good.
These dishes may not look very appealing, but they taste absolutely delicious.
Xin Li ate several bowls of rice in one go, and when she saw that He Mingzhou had only eaten a little, Xin Li's eyes were full of surprise.
"What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?"
Doesn't He Mingzhou like the food he cooks himself?
"No, you should eat more."
Xin Li's eyebrows twitched.
She thought of something and quickly went into the kitchen.
You can see that there's hardly any rice left in the pot.
"this……"
"Is there no rice left at home?"
He Mingzhou is a grown man. Xin Li can eat three bowls in one go, so it's impossible for He Mingzhou to only eat a little bit.
This has little to do with food intake. A healthy adult man can't possibly eat only that little bit; that simply wouldn't be enough to maintain the nutrition he needs.
How can such a small amount of food be enough for his regular training?
"have."
He Mingzhou followed Xin Li into the kitchen.
The man had a suspicious blush on his face, as if he was embarrassed or awkward.
Xinli suddenly remembered something Zhang Jinhua had told her before.
She said that He Mingzhou had always lived alone here, so he often shared the food he was allotted with others.
Xu Haiyu was also supported by him, so He Mingzhou's grain was often divided into three parts.
In the past, it was enough for He Mingzhou to eat alone, and he was not so saintly as to take out his own food to feed others.
Now that there's an extra person, Xin Li, and because she arrived in such a hurry, He Mingzhou didn't make any preparations beforehand, so the family's food supply is running out.
What's even more awkward is that Xin Li has a huge appetite...
Xin Li finally understood. She glanced at He Mingzhou and said softly, "We're husband and wife now. Can't you just tell me what's wrong?"
He Mingzhou cooked so much rice and ate it all for her, while he himself went hungry without saying a word.
"I'll give you this bowl."
He Mingzhou quickly declined, saying he didn't need to eat that much.
Xinli placed the bowl directly in front of him: "Are you disgusted with me?"
“No,” He Mingzhou said directly, “I don’t look down on you.”
"I'm really not hungry."
Xin Li snorted lightly: "Eat as long as you're not about to burst from being stuffed."
"Don't waste food."
Seeing the determination in Xin Li's eyes, He Mingzhou could only nod and pick up his bowl to eat.
Xinli's eyes darted around.
She has plenty of food in her space. Now that she's married to He Mingzhou, there's no need for husband and wife to distinguish between "yours" and "mine."
She had been so focused on renovating her house that she forgot about food, so she didn't have time to take the food out of her space beforehand.
It seems I need to find an opportunity to get some food out of the space.
We can't do too much, or He Mingzhou will become suspicious.
As long as there's enough for the two of them, that's fine.
Xin Li is a woman of action. While He Mingzhou was washing the dishes, she took some food out of her spatial storage.
To avoid arousing suspicion, she specifically told He Mingzhou that she had found it in her dowry.
He Mingzhou gave Xin Li a deep look and said, "Actually, you don't have to do this."
