Oh~~~
When Li Yueya met everyone's ambiguous gazes, she couldn't help but blush and feel hot.
However, she still accepted the lunchbox from Bi Qiaoan and said in a voice barely above a whisper, "Thank you!"
"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. I'm just a mouthpiece and a porter. The jerky inside was made by hand," Bi Qiaoan said with a grin.
Li Yueya nodded, then shyly returned to her seat and put the lunchbox into her bag.
"Ya Ya, aren't you going to share anymore?" Yu Shui asked, somewhat surprised by Li Yueya's actions.
Cui Xian nudged Yu Shui with his elbow, then placed the half-empty lunchbox in Yu Shui's hand and said, "Are you a glutton? You've eaten so much and you still can't shut your mouth?"
“No, I…” Yu Shui pointed at Li Yueya, then turned to look at Cui Xian.
He didn't really want to eat other people's food; he just remembered that Li Yueya would always share some with everyone.
"This was a gift from the boy I was pursuing, so I can't share it with you," Li Yueya said to Shui after patting her burning cheeks and trying to calm herself down.
"Oh!" Yu Shui nodded, then her eyes widened. "What do you mean? The person you're pursuing? What does that have to do with Bi Qiaoan?"
Li Yueya didn't hide anything and said frankly, "He's Shen Yanming's friend, the one who went to Qingli Mountain with everyone last year."
Li Yueya didn't say her name because they hadn't seen each other since returning from Qingli Mountain, and probably had long forgotten each other's names and appearances.
Yu Shui was like that; he only remembered that there were two handsome men following Shen Yanming at the time, but if you told him who they were, he wouldn't remember at all.
Qin Yiren, however, seemed to remember him and asked, "Is he the one who saved you?"
Li Yueya's blushing cheeks flushed again, but she still nodded in affirmation.
"That guy was nice, the same type as Lao Shen. Thinking about it now, he's actually quite pleasing to the eye. Why didn't I like him back then? No way, I have to..."
Before Qin Yiren could finish speaking, Li Yueya interrupted her hastily, "Qin Yiren, you're not allowed to take her from me!"
"Hahaha, I haven't finished speaking yet, look at you like this." Qin Yiren laughed so hard she was bent over, tears streaming down her face.
After she finished laughing, she continued, "What I wanted to say was that I want him to introduce me to a good one."
"Once I catch up with him, I'll tell him, if you want to find a partner now, you should ask Shen Yanming."
"I thought you misspoke. Turns out you haven't caught up yet. Why did they give you jerky if you haven't caught up?" Yu Shui said.
"We're still getting to know each other. We can only be together if it's a good match," Li Yueya explained.
Shen Yanming nodded and added, "The planet's environment is changing every day. We can no longer use the old conditions to measure whether it's suitable to date. In addition to having land and food, as Sister Weiqin mentioned, what's more important now is whether the other person can stand with you through thick and thin and face all kinds of crises and challenges."
In the apocalypse, only when both emotions and strength are evenly matched can a relationship endure.
Shen Yanming's words not only pointed out a direction for Li Yueya, but also served as a reminder to the others.
Li Yueya felt a little ashamed after hearing this, as she had never considered the problem from this perspective before.
Previously, she felt that she was young, beautiful, highly educated, and had a good job, so she should have a great advantage when facing Kevin Chyi. But for some reason, she couldn't get a response from him no matter how many times she tried to test him.
But after hearing Shen Yanming's words, she realized that in the apocalypse, she was just a burden with no advantages whatsoever.
Only now, when everything is relatively stable, can she maintain her glamorous life.
But what if one day there is no food left and they have to go out hunting? Will she and her family be able to survive?
Or, if she were to face robbery by thugs someday in the future, how much courage would she have to resist and fight back?
She thought there was probably nothing she could do.
What about Ji Kangyong?
After careful analysis, Li Yueya concluded that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ji Kangyong was among the group of people who would survive to the end, both in terms of physical fitness and professional ability.
Moreover, from Shen Yanming's words, it can be inferred that Ji Kangyong would not choose a partner who would hold him back, so if she wants to be with him, she would have to make many changes.
Li Yueya lowered her head sadly, feeling that she needed to think about this issue carefully, and even discuss it with her family.
But when she glanced at Bi Qiaoan, she unconsciously murmured, "Then, where is Qiaoan?"
Li Yueya thought she had spoken softly enough, but she didn't expect that Shen Yanming would still hear her clearly.
Shen Yanming's initial goodwill towards Li Yueya instantly plummeted. He sneered and said, "Qiao An is different from you. Our friendship dates back to childhood. Besides, how do you know that Qiao An and I aren't evenly matched?"
Li Yueya raised her head in disbelief, her two red eyes filled with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Although no one knew why Shen Yanming's expression suddenly changed and he said something rather inexplicable, everyone could sense that something had changed.
Bi Qiaoan's face also darkened. She thought to herself, "They're not even dating yet and they're already comparing themselves to me. If they really get together, seeing Shen Yanming and her living such a comfortable and harmonious life every day, wouldn't she get jealous and target him at every turn?"
But I just said last night that I wouldn't interfere in their relationship, so I can't go back on my word today and contradict myself.
Besides, this isn't a relative finding a partner; it's just a friend. What right does she have to say? If it doesn't work out, it's best to keep your distance in the future.
Shen Yanming sensed his wife's change in mood, squeezed her hand, met her gaze, and mouthed, "Don't worry, it's okay!"
Seeing this, Qin Yiren quickly smoothed things over, saying with a smile, "Oh dear, look, all the jerky is gone, and you're still a little hungry. Old Shen, I won't ask you for any more jerky, but could you give me some seasoning?"
Yu Shui also realized what was happening and nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, I want one too!"
Cui Xian and Li Yinhe followed suit, and Shen Yanming said with a smile, "Okay, I'll bring you one each tomorrow."
----------
In the Imperial Capital, in the Qinghe Alliance conference room, the Li Cheng Alliance Chief and a group of bigwigs sat together discussing the upcoming work arrangements.
"Boss, North Harbin and Simon City are about to collapse. It's already below minus thirty degrees Celsius, and the temperature is still dropping."
"No heating has been arranged?" Chief Li asked.
"I can't deliver it!"
The bigwig didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "The heating department was supposed to deliver heat, but when they tested the water, they found that many pipes had frozen and cracked."
Relevant departments have arranged for emergency repairs, but the damage is too extensive to be fixed quickly, and the people in the north are already finding it unbearable.
