Lan Yao was silent for a moment, then decided she wanted to watch too.
She didn't even know what was bothering her!
Since they're willing to follow her and spend money on her, wouldn't it be even better?
As the saying goes, it's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal.
So, Lan Yao nodded to Gu Zixiao, "Okay."
Hearing her answer, Gu Zixiao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Lan Yao was going to fight him to the death.
It seems that his persistence worked. If Lan Yao gets angry like this again, he'll just use this method to stay by her side.
I'd rather spend money or get beaten by her.
So, Lan Yao went shopping in the department store, and Gu Zixiao followed her and paid for everything.
After buying almost everything, Gu Zixiao said, "The meat at the department store is sold out, and I doubt the supply and marketing cooperative will be able to keep up either."
Lan Yao said "Oh": "So, we're going to the black market?"
Gu Zixiao nodded, carrying a large pile of things in his hands: "Let's take these things to the car first. I'll drive to the black market to buy some things."
Lan Yao snorted: "...I know."
Jade Pixiu: "Master, I thought you would continue to be awkward for a while."
Sometimes, it doesn't quite understand its owner either.
Jade Abacus: "Let Master be stubborn if he wants to. This is a good opportunity to test Gu Zixiao. If he truly loves Master, he will do well and earn Master's forgiveness."
Jade Pixiu: "...That makes sense."
Jade Abacus said proudly, "Of course, don't you know who I am?"
Jade Pixiu: "Yes, yes, you are the most skilled astrologer in our family."
Lan Yao ignored the two little ones whispering to each other and followed Gu Zixiao back to the parking lot.
After Gu Zixiao put her things away, he took her to the black market.
The black market that Gu Zixiao drove her to was not a place she usually went to these days.
"You've gone to the wrong place?"
Gu Zixiao: "I know the place you're talking about. But it's a pretty small place. Besides, I know the head of the black market, so I can get the goods directly from him."
After all, it's already almost afternoon.
Even if you go to the black market, scarce commodities like pork are probably already sold out.
So, Gu Zixiao simply went to get the goods from someone she knew.
Since Gu Zixiao had said so, Lan Yao shut up and looked out the window.
About twenty minutes later, they finally arrived at their destination.
Upon arriving at their destination, Gu Zixiao said to Lan Yao, "You stay in the car, I'll go."
Lan Yao grunted in response and waved her hand impatiently.
Before getting out of the car, Gu Zixiao slipped a White Rabbit candy into her hand: "Don't be angry. I was wrong."
Gu Zixiao opened the car door and got out.
Lan Yao looked at the White Rabbit milk candy in her hand and said speechlessly, "Is he trying to coax me like a child?"
Jade Pixiu: "Perhaps."
Jade Abacus: "Master, throw the candy in his face later."
Lan Yao: "...I wouldn't waste food like that."
Food is such a precious commodity in the apocalypse.
How could she possibly waste it?
Lan Yao unwrapped the candy and popped the White Rabbit milk candy into her mouth. First, her mouth was filled with the aroma of milk, and then the sweetness melted in her mouth at the same time.
Lan Yao doesn't really like sweets, so she only endured the sweetness for two minutes before she couldn't stand it anymore and swallowed it.
She really wanted to grind it up, but it was too sticky, so she gave up after trying twice.
Jade Pixiu: "Master, in the future, we'll make our own candy whenever we have the chance. I promise to make the kind that doesn't stick to your teeth and isn't too sweet."
Lan Yao: "Even if I had the chance, I wouldn't do it. I don't like sweets."
After waiting for a while, Gu Zixiao returned carrying her things.
He put the things in the trunk, and seeing that Lan Yao was resting with her eyes closed, he didn't disturb her, but started the car directly.
Lan Yao opened her eyes, glanced at him, and then simply closed them again.
After arriving at Grandma Yu's house, Gu Zixiao called Lan Yao in a gentle voice.
Lan Yao got goosebumps all over her body again.
Oh my god!
She was really not used to Gu Zixiao's sudden change in attitude; it was just like a weasel offering New Year's greetings with ulterior motives.
Lan Yao hesitated for a moment but still said, "Can you please stop? It's kind of scary."
Gu Zixiao instantly understood what Lan Yao meant.
He chuckled softly, "No. You're not like a stranger. I wouldn't feel comfortable if I treated you like one."
Lan Yao: ...
What's bothering you? It's completely inexplicable.
Seeing that Lan Yao didn't speak, Gu Zixiao moved his face closer and said, "Why aren't you saying anything? Do you find me annoying? I can't help it if you're annoyed, I still like you."
"...Alright, I understand." Lan Yao sighed. "Let's take the things to Grandma Yu's. I don't know..."
Before she could finish speaking, Grandma Yu's voice came over: "Is that Yao Xin?"
Lan Yao curled the corners of her lips and said to Grandma Yu, who had already walked over, "Grandma Yu, I am Lan Yao, also known as Yao Xin. I'm sorry for deceiving you by disguising myself as a man before."
Grandma Yu smiled, patted Lan Yao's shoulder, and then couldn't resist hugging her.
"Lan Yao? Okay, okay, Grandma understands."
Lan Yao leaned on Grandma Yu's shoulder, savoring the faint scent of soap on her, and asked with a smile, "Grandma Yu, aren't you angry that I lied to you?"
"What's there to be angry about? As a girl, it's understandable that you want to put on a facade in this kind of society."
If a girl doesn't put on some disguise, she's bound to run into bad things.
Grandma Yu had experienced and witnessed many things before, so she knew this kind of thing all too well.
"Thank you, Grandma Yu."
Grandma Li followed, and when she saw Lan Yao, she smiled and asked, "Are you Yao Xin? How come you're a girl?"
The girls' and boys' outfits in Lanyao are completely different.
It's easy to tell whether she's a man or a woman.
This is also why someone as shrewd and capable as Gu Zixiao failed to discern the truth.
Because Lan Yao's attire when she was a boy was really manly and masculine, and with such strong fighting skills, she could easily defeat Gu Zixiao.
It's only natural that Gu Zixiao would be captivated by her when she was dressed as a man.
Lan Yao smiled and said, "I've always been a girl, but when I'm traveling alone, I have no choice but to pretend."
Grandma Li nodded in understanding, then pulled her aside and said, "Have you finished your business? You have no idea how restless Grandma Yu was after you left. She couldn't sit still or stand still, she was so anxious. Just now she suddenly said you were back, and she ran out despite my attempts to stop her. Oh, you have no idea, I was so scared when Grandma Yu ran out."
