When they heard the broadcast, Jiang Li and Gu Jin were strolling along the road in the base.
Jiang Li turned to Gu Jin beside him and said.
"This must be the best news we've had in a while."
"Well, at least they don't have to worry about what to eat for a while."
"Gu Jin, do you think the apocalypse will end?"
Jiang Li didn't know if it would end, but she knew that more disasters awaited them.
But she couldn't help asking, as if she just wanted to hear an answer.
Gu Jin raised her hand and ruffled Jiang Li's hair.
"Don't worry, things will definitely get better and better from now on."
Jiang Li's hair was cut to shoulder length. It was thick, soft, and felt exceptionally good to the touch.
"Boss, girls, what... what are you doing?"
Fang Qingxun was standing on the bridge, pointing at his boss and Jiang Li in surprise, because he seemed to have discovered something incredible.
He saw his eldest brother and Jiang Li standing by the river. His eldest brother was holding Jiang Li's hand with one hand and placing the other hand on Jiang Li's head. The two of them were standing face to face.
Such an intimate distance was clearly not something that should exist between friends. He had already imagined his boss wagging his fox tail and, before Jiang Li, the little white rabbit, could react, devouring her whole.
Jiang Li and Gu Jin turned to look at Fang Qingxun when they heard his voice. Fang Qingxun and Fu Xiaxia were standing on a bridge not far from them.
Jiang Li pointed at Fang Qingxun with her finger, then asked Gu Jin speechlessly.
"He didn't just find out, did he?"
Gu Jin pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling speechless.
"It should be."
When Fang Qingxun shouted, Fu Xiaxia and the other two sighed in disbelief, realizing that Fang Qingxun's emotional intelligence was so low that they were only just discovering it.
Although Gu Jin and Jiang Li didn't say anything, everyone understood. They didn't hide it from everyone; they didn't mention it at first, and they certainly wouldn't bring it up later.
They originally thought that Fang Qingxun already knew, since it was something everyone knew.
Moreover, Jiang Li and Gu Jin had held hands in front of him, and he was wondering why he had remained calm and hadn't asked about it. It turned out he simply hadn't noticed.
Gu Jin took Jiang Li's hand and walked towards Fang Qingxun and the others. Fang Qingxun couldn't wait any longer and rushed to Jiang Li and Gu Jin.
"Boss, girl, what's going on here?!"
"What you see is what it is."
Gu Jin simply took Jiang Li's hand and showed it to Fang Qingxun.
"I told you that you wouldn't agree to my request to recognize Jiang Li as my sister. So that's what you were thinking. You kept this from me for so long. Jiang Li, tell me when you two got together."
Fang Qingxun said to Jiang Li with a bitter smile, "I was originally the younger sister, but now I've become the older sister-in-law."
Before Jiang Li could speak, Fu Xiaxia rolled her eyes at Fang Qingxun.
"You still haven't realized it? That day when the boss was taking Jiang Li home after roasting the suckling pig, it was so obvious and you didn't even notice. Are you stupid?"
Fang Qingxun immediately realized something was wrong.
"Wait, wait. You're saying you all know this, so I'm the only one who doesn't?"
Fang Qingxun looked at Shi Yuan, who nodded at him. He then looked at Shi Lin, who also nodded.
"My God, you all knew! Why didn't you remind me?!"
Fang Qingxun was surprised that everyone else knew, except for him.
“We found out that day. I thought you knew too.”
Shi Yuan and Fang Qingxun said.
"The captain and Jiang Li are always seen together, even holding hands in front of you. Are you blind? Can't you see that?!"
Fu Xiaxia was truly speechless at Fang Qingxun's low emotional intelligence.
"I thought that the boss and Jiang Li were more familiar with each other and had better chemistry. I also thought that the boss treated Jiang Li like a younger sister and wanted to take care of her more. Who would have thought that way?"
Looking back now, Fang Qingxun realizes that something is definitely not right. Why didn't she notice it at the time? Is she really that emotionally unintelligent?
"Alright, it's also because Gu Jin and I didn't explain things clearly to you. So, let's treat you to dinner today. Tell me what you'd like to eat and I'll prepare it."
Jiang Li spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Fang Qingxun immediately raised his hand in agreement.
"I want to try snail rice noodle hot pot, I really want to eat it."
Jiang Li looked at everyone. After all, not everyone likes snail rice noodles. Fortunately, no one is picky about food. So, he decided to let Fang Qingxun, that silly kid, have his way today. That night, they decided to have snail rice noodle hot pot.
Upon hearing about food, Fang Qingxun had already forgotten what had just happened; in truth, he was only initially quite shocked.
It was still early, so Jiang Li and Gu Jin continued to stroll around the base. Fang Qingxun and the others also went to the supermarket. Although Jiang Li was treating, they couldn't really leave without preparing anything.
Moreover, this can be considered their official announcement, so they can't just leave empty-handed. With today's good news, they definitely need to celebrate.
As evening approached, the group started having hot pot. None of them had ever tried snail rice noodle flavored hot pot before, and they were all quite looking forward to it.
The smell of snail rice noodles is quite strong, so we ate with the windows closed to avoid the same situation as last time. However, the smell will definitely get out some of the way, so it's better than nothing.
Fu Xiaxia and the others also got some wine, meat, and brought back a small bag of snacks.
