After Shen Yanming saw the people off, he heard Bi Qiaoan ask in a low voice, "Are you really planning to match Zhang Heping and Li Wanwan up?"
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "It's just providing an opportunity. Whether we can end up together depends on fate."
Bi Qiaoan hesitated for a moment: "Then, isn't that unfair to Xiaoqian?" Although she had never met her, she was, after all, a girl who had talked with Zhang Heping for a long time.
Shen Yanming, with the same reaction as Ji Kangyong, scoffed, "Is she being fair to Heping? Since her family doesn't agree, she should just break up cleanly. But she's dragging her feet, unwilling to let go, and refusing to get married. What do you suggest, making Zhang Heping wait for her forever?"
Bi Qiaoan didn't know what to say. She sighed and said, "I hope you guys don't mess this up!"
"Muckled?"
"I'm afraid Zhang Heping and Xiaoqian won't be able to break up, and Wanwan will get deeply involved. In the end, wouldn't that just hurt that young girl?"
"No, Zhao Zhao is watching over us. Besides, Wanwan is much smarter than Heping."
"Alright, alright, you guys decide!"
Shen Yanming turned off the living room lights, hugged Bi Qiaoan, and looked at the lightning outside the window, saying, "This commotion is like some great god undergoing tribulation."
Bi Qiaoan shared the same thought, but she said, "Isn't our planet undergoing a tribulation?"
Shen Yanming chuckled: "That's true. But, my wife, would you be willing to cultivate with me tonight?"
Bi Qiaoan pretended to ponder: "Isn't that a bit awkward? The child is here, and the friend is next door!"
Shen Yanming bent down and carried Bi Qiaoan into the bedroom in a princess carry. He kicked the door shut, put her on the bed, and said with a slightly seductive tone, "Wife, bring An'an and Nuannuan into the villa, be good!"
Knowing she couldn't escape, Bi Qiaoan waved her hand and put the two treasures into her spatial storage.
Shen Yanming pressed down on him: "So obedient!"
Bi Qiaoan glared at him, wanting to say something, but all her words were swallowed up by the burning kiss...
The next day, when the couple woke up, it was already broad daylight. An'an and Nuan'nuan in the space had already climbed out of bed and run to the space's grassland to play with the goose.
Bi Qiaoan was extremely annoyed. Fortunately, nothing serious happened; otherwise, she would have regretted it for the rest of her life.
It's all that jerk's fault. He kept me up so late that I was practically asleep myself.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Shen Yanming conscientiously went to prepare breakfast. Bi Qiaoan flashed into the space, played with the two children for a while, and then came out together.
An enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen. An'an and Nuannuan, drooling, ran over and hugged Chen Yanming's leg: "Daddy, what's for breakfast?"
Shen Yanming was a little embarrassed and discussed with his two children: "How about steamed egg custard?" Adults have a lot of different kinds of food, but there are really not many things that babies can eat!
The two babies shook their heads: "No, no! We're tired of eating it every day!"
Shen Yanming frowned and asked, "What would you like to eat? Soy milk, regular milk, or lotus root starch?"
The two babies' eyes lit up: "Lotus root starch!"
Shen Yanming nodded, took out a bag from his spatial storage, and filled a basin with hot water.
Bi Qiaoan served the two babies a bowl of food. Shen Yanming called Zhang Heping and learned that Li Zhaozhao and Li Wanwan had already left.
"I'll go alone. I guess Lao Ji has already left."
Shen Yanming glanced at the time; it was already 9:30. "Okay, come over quickly."
"Okay, right away!"
Shen Yanming opened the living room door and saw Zhang Heping already standing there. Shen Yanming raised an eyebrow. "You got here pretty quickly!"
“Well, Zhao Zhao and the others were worried about Uncle Li and Aunt Li, so they went back as soon as it was light. As the host, I couldn’t just not go out to see them off. That’s why I got myself ready early this morning.”
Shen Yanming nodded, "Alright then, you'll be the only one sharing lotus root starch with my An'an and Nuannuan, aren't you honored?"
"Yes, yes, it's a great honor!"
Bi Qiaoan brought Zhang Heping a bowl, and Shen Yanming took a steamer of vegetarian buns from the kitchen. The group ate to their hearts' content.
After finishing their meal, An'an and Nuannuan started acting crazy. Zhang Heping and Chao patiently looked after the children, giving the couple plenty of time to tidy up the house.
At noon, Shen Yanming cooked a pot of boiled fish for everyone. The numbing and spicy flavor made Zhang Heping eat with great relish. While eating, he asked, "Old Shen, what are we having for dinner?"
"We'll be heading back to the guard post soon, so you'll have to eat by yourself tonight."
Zhang Heping paused in his fish-eating motion, then wailed, "Ahhhhh, am I going back to eating grass again? I'm so sad, so heartbroken!"
Shen Yanming smiled but did not reply.
Bi Qiaoan glanced outside and saw that the rain had stopped and the ground was covered in puddles. She then asked Shen Yanming, "How about we go up the mountain and see if there are any mushrooms?"
Zhang Heping recalled the scene of everyone picking mushrooms together a few years ago and nodded instantly: "Yes, yes, let's go take a look! It's been two years since we've been there. If we still have any, I can improve my meals."
Shen Yanming thought for a moment, "Alright, hurry up and eat, then we'll go."
Zhang Heping quickened his eating pace and then went home to prepare.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan put on rubber shoes, brought two umbrellas, carried a small basket, and held An'an and Nuannuan while waiting for Zhang Heping at the door.
The two children were extremely curious about their parents' shoes and wanted to try them on too. But there weren't any shoes small enough to fit them all, so even if they wanted to make do, there was nothing they could do.
"Sweethearts, there's a lot of water on the road outside. Stay in Daddy's arms, okay? Daddy promises you, I'll let you both get down when we get to our destination, okay?"
An'an and Nuannuan then gave up. After Zhang Heping came out, the group of five headed straight for Qingning Mountain.
Today we went in a different direction than yesterday, and a figure was already busy amidst the green trees and wild grass.
"Who is that? He looks so familiar." Zhang Heping asked.
Shen Yanming shook his head: "I don't know."
Zhao Yu, who was bending down to pick mushrooms, heard the noise and looked up to see three familiar faces.
He was overjoyed, "Brother Chen, Brother Zhang, and Sister Qiao An, what brings you all here?"
"Who are you?"
"Zhao Yu! You know, the one who got caught in the energy rain with you guys right after the apocalypse!"
"Hey, it's you, kid. How have you been lately?" Zhang Heping said, patting the other man on the shoulder.
Zhao Yu's spirits collapsed. "Me? I've just been messing around. I haven't been working. I just wander around in different places every day, looking for ingredients."
"That's great, we don't have to worry about going hungry anymore," Shen Yanming nodded and smiled.
Seeing that there was no disdain in their eyes, Zhao Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief: "I'm just barely passable, not as good as you guys."
"No, we're all the same!"
"By the way, are these two little cuties your babies?" Zhao Yu looked at Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan with sparkling eyes.
"Yes, An'an and Nuannuan, quickly call him uncle!"
The two babies greeted everyone very well, and Zhao Yu said, "So cute, I'm so envious!"
"And you, are you married?" Shen Yanming asked.
Zhao Yu nodded. "It's settled. My wife is pregnant, so I came here to find something good to nourish her."
