The saying "don't be wary of others" doesn't necessarily apply to specific situations. Perhaps, to put it another way, perhaps a less-than-perfect but fitting phrase, "poverty breeds cunning, wealth breeds conscience." Jealousy can destroy a person's status, knowledge, upbringing, morals, character—anything that could be considered a virtue. Yu Wei naturally understood this and gladly accepted the seemingly secure bolt on the door.
The kang that was just built today needs to be burned for at least 24 hours to dry out completely, so after pre-filling the stove with enough coal, Xiao Yi took Yu Wei out of the dormitory of the institute and returned to his own home. Xiao Yi was not here recently, so Yu Wei naturally did not come over. She took a good shower and washed her hair. When she went downstairs, she found that Xiao Yi had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her. Dinner was actually barbecue. There was a heating mat on the ground, which was warm when stepped on, so Yu Wei only wore a thin pajamas and did not even wear shoes. Fortunately, all the curtains were tightly drawn.
On the table, a large white porcelain baking tray was surrounded by thinly sliced sirloin, brisket, and richly marinated Wagyu beef. The most captivating part was the pork belly, which was already sizzling with fat and gradually dancing with oil. The marinated lamb brisket and lamb chops, wrapped in tin foil, were also placed to the side. The pork belly and the fresh-looking shrimp were accompanied by the signature mixed vegetables, refreshing cold noodles, and a large mixed rice bowl.
It was quite rich. What would a good dinner be without a refreshing white beer?
The two sat facing each other. Yu Wei ate the crispy, juicy pork belly. Unable to contain her curiosity, she blinked her sparkling eyes at Xiao Yi and asked, "I know you're not grateful for what you've done, but I really want to know why you have everything. I understand instant weapons, fuel, and medicine, but how do you have something like this, which looks like a complete meal pre-packaged at the store? It doesn't look like something prepared just before the apocalypse. It must have been prepared in advance!" Yu Wei's tone was firm, even joyful. She finally understood Xiao Yi a little. Or perhaps it was the satisfaction of prying into a secret. Xiao Yi thought about it. He wasn't the only one with a space in the Supernatural Research Institute. This kind of thing would sooner or later be known to most people. However, those who survived would likely all possess special abilities. So, his space wouldn't be so strange or hateful. After a moment's deliberation, Xiao Yi placed a piece of grilled short ribs in Yu Wei's bowl and said, "Curiosity kills the cat. Are you sure you really need to know?"
"Of course, curiosity is the driving force that motivates me to make progress. Besides, this matter concerns you, I believe I will not become a dead cat." Yu Wei swallowed the meat in one gulp and teased while chewing the food.
Xiao Yi looked at her and lost his temper: "You know my Supernatural Research Institute, but do you know superpowers?"
Yu Wei hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then shook her head: "I don't really know much, I just heard a few words."
Xiao Yi nodded, and then his voice became more serious: "No one knows where the end of the world came from, and no one knows where the awakened superpowers came from. Perhaps it is a protection mode activated deep in the human genes. In short, everyone is different. Currently known superpowers include fire, wind, tree, metal, earth, plant, etc. Of course, there are also space and spirit powers. It just so happens that I awakened the space power long before the outbreak of the end of the world."
"Although I was very confused at the time and didn't know what it was or why, but instinctively, I wanted to fill it with something. Food, clothing, housing and transportation, plus food is the most important thing for people. In this way, can it satisfy your extremely strong curiosity?" After saying that, Xiao Yi did not forget to rub Yu Wei's little face, which had finally gained some flesh recently.
Yu Wei swallowed a mouthful of cold noodles and had nothing else to say. Before the apocalypse, she wasn't a greedy person. In fact, her restraint education from childhood made her instinctively restrain herself from eating anything. So food was just to fill her stomach. But after being with Xiao Yi, it seemed that the connection between food and happiness became deeper and deeper. What is the fireworks of life? It seems to be eating every meal with the same people, no matter how long it takes, and never getting tired of eating anything.
The second half of the dinner naturally changed from eating meat to "eating meat". . . . . . . . .
When the love reached its deepest point, Yu Wei's eyes were filled with tears, her breathing was disordered, and only in the intermittent silence did Xiao Yi hear a "thank you."
He wasn't moved, nor did he want to find out why Yu Wei said thank you. Xiao Yi was the only one thinking: "If you still have the energy to speak, it means you haven't eaten enough."
················
The next morning at 7:30, Xiao Yi was awakened by the alarm clock by his bedside. The room was unusually dry because the heating had been running. Just as he was about to get up and move around, the clingy little rabbit clung to him again. Holding the tender white rabbit in his hand, Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel a little distracted. Naturally, he ate breakfast.
Xiao Yi, feeling satisfied, wrapped the still sleeping Yu Wei in a blanket and got up to wash up. The soy milk freshly squeezed by the soy milk machine tasted better than the two-yuan cup of soy milk Xiao Yi packed from the outside. But when he took the beans in the space in the morning, he saw those green crystals, and Xiao Yi had to cheer up and try to burn his fighting spirit. No wonder "the king does not attend the court early", no wonder they say "the land of gentleness is the tomb of heroes". The ancients did not deceive Xiao Yi. He made freshly made shrimp steamed dumplings and small buns with zucchini and eggs. There were still steaming hot tea eggs. Xiao Yi also made a sweet and sour bomb to eat with pickles. Breakfast was almost ready before he went upstairs to wake Yu Wei up. Although she would go back to work in the afternoon. But after breakfast, he had to go back to see what the condition of the kang was.
