The next morning, Jiang Li quickly finished breakfast, which consisted of steamed buns he had bought earlier, along with a bowl of soy milk and fried dough sticks. Eating the hot steamed buns, Jiang Li thought it was really nice to have a space that kept them fresh.
After breakfast, I fastened the two short Tang swords I had bought earlier to my waist, covered them with my clothes, put everything in the room into my storage space, slung the hiking backpack I had prepared earlier over my shoulder, and opened the door promptly at eight o'clock.
As Jiang left the door, the door to the opposite room opened at the same time. Gu Jin, also carrying a bag, greeted him briefly and then went downstairs.
After walking down a few floors, I was stopped at the corner of the stairs by a girl in a white dress. The girl had long, flowing hair, wore very white foundation, and had very red lipstick on her lips. She looked a bit strange, but unfortunately, she thought she looked great.
Jiang Li looked at her and really wanted to ask where she bought her cosmetics. It was so hot, yet she hadn't applied any. And wasn't it hot to wear her hair down in this heat?
Chen Sisi first glanced at Jiang Li, then turned her gaze to Gu Jin who was standing to the side.
"Brother, are you going out to find something to eat? Can you take me with you? I haven't eaten for days." After saying that, she stared at Gu Jin with her eyes, putting on a delicate and innocent act, completely ignoring Jiang Li beside her.
Chen Sisi saw the three people go upstairs yesterday and knew they were going to find Jiang Li. Later, she also saw Gu Jin arrest the person and knew that Gu Jin was capable. She felt that Jiang Li was safe because of Gu Jin, otherwise she would not have been able to get away unscathed. She was waiting here today to see what would happen. She didn't expect to see it on the first day. She was very confident in her appearance and believed that Gu Jin would definitely agree.
"No," Gu Jin resolutely refused, then walked around Chen Sisi and went downstairs.
Chen Sisi was stunned by Gu Jin's decisive refusal.
Seeing that he could no longer watch the show, Jiang Li followed Gu Jin downstairs, but unexpectedly Chen Sisi caught up with him again.
"Brother, is it because of sister that you disagree?" Chen Sisi stopped Gu Jin and said, glancing timidly at Jiang Li as if he were bullying her. Then she said to Jiang Li, "Sister, I really just wanted to go with them to find something to eat. Please don't misunderstand, brother."
Jiang Li was so angry she laughed. Before Gu Jin could speak, she said to Chen Sisi, "I think you're not only deaf, but you're also brainless. He clearly rejected you, yet you're still clinging on shamelessly. And don't call me 'sister.' You're obviously older than me. Aren't you disgusted by pretending to be young? It's just that you have a thicker skin." Before Chen Sisi could react, she continued, "Also, if it doesn't suit you, don't wear a white dress. Your face looks like a ghost. Luckily it's daytime now; if it were night, I would have thought I saw a ghost." After saying that, she immediately walked past her and downstairs. Staying for even a second longer would be a disservice to herself.
Gu Jin hadn't expected Jiang Li to have this side to her, and to be honest, it was quite satisfying. Seeing Jiang Li's figure heading downstairs, she quickly followed after him.
“You…you all…” Chen Sisi pointed at Jiang Li for a long time without saying a word. “I’m so angry!” After a long while, Chen Sisi finally managed to say this. Then she stomped her foot and went back to her room. She absolutely dared not go out by herself. At the same time, she secretly harbored resentment towards Jiang Li.
When Jiang Li arrived at the basement, he was unaware that Chen Sisi held a grudge against him. Even if he did, it wouldn't matter. Although women are indeed a vulnerable group in the apocalypse and can seek help from others, they shouldn't rely on others for survival like parasitic plants. If they have hands and feet and are a little brave, they can still find supplies now. Chen Sisi encountered them, but who knows what would happen if she encountered someone else.
In the apocalypse, many women without the ability to survive do live in this way. Although Jiang Li doesn't like this way of life, she doesn't say much. Everyone has their own choice of lifestyle, and some are indeed forced into it. But no matter what, as long as it doesn't come to her face, it's fine.
