Chapter 6: Good Friend Du Luoqing
While they were waiting for the elevator, Gu Qinghan and her good friend Du Luoqing just happened to come back from outside. When she saw Lin Xiyue, she was quite happy, but when she saw that there was another beauty standing next to her, her face instantly darkened.
Du Luoqing saw that her friend's expression changed so quickly that even the weather was not as fickle as her. She was a little curious about who made Gu Qinghan change his expression.
Du Luoqing followed Gu Qinghan's gaze and saw Lin Xiyue standing with a gentle and intellectual beauty. She raised her eyebrows with interest, tugged at Gu Qinghan's sleeve, and chuckled softly, "Wow, where did this beauty come from? It makes our President Gu jealous."
Gu Qinghan coughed lightly and turned his face away, but he refused to admit it: "Luo Qing, stop talking nonsense, who is jealous?"
Lin Xiyue saw Gu Qinghan, nodded politely, then pulled Ji Yuan into the elevator first.
Seeing the elevator door slowly closing, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but ask Gu Qinghan: "Gu Qinghan, are you still getting in the elevator?"
Du Luoqing was speechless looking at Gu Qinghan who was still in a daze. She didn't expect that Mr. Gu was still a love-brained person. "Little sister, wait for me, we also want to take the elevator."
Lin Xiyue nodded, pressed the elevator door open button, and walked back a little with Ji Yuan to make some space for the two of them.
Du Luoqing took Gu Qinghan's arm and led her into the elevator. She secretly poked Gu Qinghan and whispered, "Boss Gu, you still say you don't feel any resentment, but your eyes are glued to me."
Gu Qinghan rolled his eyes at her: "Stop talking nonsense. I... I didn't..."
"Alright! If Mr. Gu says no, then so be it!"
Gu Qinghan didn't know what was wrong with him. Why did he feel like being scratched by a cat when he saw another beauty beside Lin Xiyue?
Originally, Gu Qinghan was going out to buy supplies today, but unexpectedly, her good friend Du Luoqing in the sports world had just finished a tennis match, and it was her turn to take a day off, so she came to play with her.
Considering that the end of the world would come in less than half a month, Gu Qinghan told Du Luoqing to come to the Bay Community, where her family had a place to stay.
Du Luoqing drove her Audi directly to the parking lot of the Bay Community. Gu Qinghan had already been waiting for her in the underground parking lot. The two walked to the elevator together and then met Lin Xiyue and the others by chance.
Du Luoqing followed Gu Qinghan back to 2202. As soon as she entered the room, she saw a living room filled with bottled water, instant noodles, compressed biscuits, rice, oil, soy sauce, salt, sugar...
"Qinghan, you...how come your family has so many supplies?"
Gu Qinghan said to Du Luoqing seriously: "Luoqing, we have been good friends for more than ten years. I will tell you a secret, please don't tell anyone else."
Du Luoqing asked curiously, "Of course we're lifelong buddies!"
"Luo Qing, whether you believe it or not, I was reborn. In my previous life, I was surrounded and mauled to death by zombies, leaving not even a trace of me. And you were killed by those heartless humans because you saved me. They... they are all beasts. They have nothing to eat, so they even cook and eat human flesh."
"At this point in time, it's less than two weeks away from the end of the world. During this time, I sold all my savings and real estate and put them all into this house. I reinforced the walls of this house with super titanium alloy. There are still many supplies in the house, enough for the two of us to survive."
"Luo Qing, we must survive this time. The apocalypse is a real test of humanity, so we absolutely must not be too naive this time. In our last life, we were too naive. We sympathized with a woman who had been hungry for days and gave her a bag of compressed biscuits. Unexpectedly, she turned her kindness against us and brought her men to rob us of our supplies. In the end, she killed us both and left our bodies to the zombies. I will never reconcile this to my death."
"God has been kind to me. I never expected that I would be reborn."
Du Luoqing's eyes widened, and he paused for a long time before finding his voice again: "Qinghan... Qinghan, are you serious? If so, I think we need to prepare more supplies."
"Is there anyone living next door to you in 2203 or 2204? I have plenty of money, let's buy another house to store our supplies!"
Gu Qinghan nodded seriously. "It's absolutely true. That's why I prepared so many supplies. I sold all my shares in Gu Corporation and turned them into cash. Humph! Those old guys all thought I was crazy."
Gu Qinghan said to Du Luoqing, "Let's ask the developer tomorrow. It would be best to buy the 2024 one. We can store enough supplies in both houses so that we can take care of each other."
Du Luoqing thought of a question: "So, Qinghan? Your neighbor next door, I saw her buy a lot of underwear, coats, shoes, medicine and so on today. She...she couldn't have been reborn like you!"
Gu Qinghan nodded seriously and said, "Even if she wasn't reborn, I think she knew the end of the world was coming. I've noticed that she's been stockpiling supplies like me lately. She's also secured her house like me."
"Luo Qing, you should stay with me for the time being and stop running around."
Du Luoqing nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I know!"
// Ji Yuan put down the things in his hands and looked at Lin Xiyue's house. The house was filled with a lot of supplies, such as purified water, instant noodles, snail noodles, compressed biscuits, canned beef, canned fish... daily necessities, paper towels, sanitary napkins, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo, laundry detergent, hair dryer... medicines, cold medicine, cough medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, painkillers, disinfectant, bandages... the whole house was full of them.
"Yueyue, if the apocalypse you described is real, then these supplies are far from enough. And where am I supposed to sleep tonight?"
"It's okay. I've already arranged it for you. Your house is right next to mine. When I bought 2201, I also bought 2203. Our two houses are connected, so you can just live in 2203."
"We have already secured both houses, and I have prepared enough supplies there. There will be absolutely no problem."
"Sets 2201 and 2203 are connected. I broke through a wall. Xiaoyu, here's the key to 2203. Besides the key, it can also be used for fingerprint and facial recognition."
"I'll help you take your fingerprints and facial recognition later."
Ji Yuan took the key from Lin Xiyue's hand, feeling warm in her heart. She had been an orphan since childhood and grew up in an orphanage. Her greatest luck was to know Lin Xiyue. It was great to have such a friend who made plans for her in advance.
Ji Yuan followed Lin Xiyue to 2203. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that the house was filled with supplies, just like Lin Xiyue's house, and there was also a warmly decorated bedroom.
// The next day, Gu Qinghan and Du Luoqing also went to the developer to inquire about the situation of 2204. Upon learning that the house had not been sold, Gu Qinghan decisively decided to buy it.
Du Luoqing watched Gu Qinghan's decisiveness and couldn't help but sigh that her rebirth made her more decisive.
After Gu Qinghan bought 2204, she quickly paid a high price to the previous security company and asked them to do security for 2204, and to have the same quality as 2202, without any sloppiness.
The security company said it would take at least a week. After confirming the time, Gu Qinghan and Du Luoqing continued to stockpile large amounts of supplies.
Gu Qinghan drove an Isuzu truck with Du Luoqing to various shopping malls in Yucheng. The two bought various canned beef, mutton, fish, compressed biscuits, instant noodles, cola, drinks... and brought them back home. Gu Qinghan was still thinking about Lin Xiyue.
After finally putting away all the supplies bought today, Gu Qinghan casually passed by the balcony with a cup of water. She wondered what Lin Xiyue next door was doing at the moment. Was she collecting supplies like her?
Suddenly, she saw the figures of Lin Xiyue and Ji Yuan flash past the window next door, and her heart inexplicably felt a little sour.
Du Luoqing looked at his friend's dejected figure, and then saw his neighbors across the street walking in pairs. He muttered, "No wonder, Mr. Gu must be in love."
