As the crowd gradually dispersed, Ruan Tian let out a long sigh of relief.
Although she was tired, she was happy in spirit.
During this time, Ye Mofeng stayed by Ruan Tian's side. Seeing that she could finally rest, he immediately reached out to massage her shoulders.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"It's not hard work! Just thinking about how many crystal cores I earned today makes it all worthwhile!"
Ruan Tian's face was still slightly sweaty. She chuckled, revealing a cute little tiger tooth at the corner of her lips.
"By the way, Ye Mofeng! Have you eaten? If there's anything else you'd like to eat, just let me know."
"I'm already full."
Ye Mofeng was fed so much delicious food by Ruan Tian that he couldn't eat anymore, but Ruan Tian kept stuffing it into his hands.
Every time Ye Mofeng said he was full, Ruan Tian thought he was just being polite.
So whenever they saw that Ye Mofeng had no food in his hands, they would immediately make new delicacies and stuff them into his hands.
Ye Mofeng was allowed to taste all the food.
"Ah! Right, I just remembered, there are these things."
Ruan Tian took out a large pile of canned goods from her spatial storage, including many canned fruits.
The dishes she pulled out were all ones she didn't have.
"Haven't you had canned fruit in a long time? This stuff is delicious, you should try it, especially this strawberry can."
Ruan Tian picked out what she considered to be the best canned strawberries and handed them to Ye Mofeng.
"Try it."
She looked at Ye Mofeng expectantly, thinking that he might be happy after eating the canned food.
However, Ye Mofeng just watched Ruan Tian silently and did not reach out to touch the canned food.
Ruan Tian didn't notice Ye Mofeng's sudden drop in mood, and instead took a pineapple-flavored can of food and started eating it.
After about a minute, she noticed that Ye Mofeng hadn't spoken for a long time, and when she turned her head, she saw the expression on his face.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so upset?"
Ye Mofeng was initially unwilling to reveal his true feelings, but he couldn't resist Ruan Tian's persistent questioning.
Finally, he spoke up: "These canned goods were luxuries before the apocalypse, and now you have so many all at once."
Ruan Tian's mind raced for a moment, and she immediately understood what Ye Mofeng meant by those words.
He questioned Ruan Tian, asking who gave her these valuable canned goods.
And they gave so much in one go.
In the apocalypse, the chances of getting fruit are almost zero.
Therefore, some people can fight each other and become enemies over a small can of fruit.
How exactly did Ruan Tian manage to do that?
Who would give Ruan Tian so many precious and rare canned fruits?
There is only one answer, and that is the person Ruan Tian had contact with before.
I guess they have a very good relationship, otherwise they wouldn't have given so much.
This inexplicably made Ye Mofeng feel very uncomfortable.
This time, staring at Ruan Tian in front of him, he no longer concealed his feelings and spoke directly:
“I’m really uncomfortable inside. You’ve become so close to other people without me even realizing it.”
Ye Mofeng didn't give Ruan Tian a chance to explain, but instead muttered to himself:
"But I can understand. After all, you're such a nice person, everyone would want to be your friend. I shouldn't be possessive of you."
His eyes were clear, yet tinged with sadness.
"I'm sorry, my words just now made you feel bad."
Ruan Tian was completely caught off guard, and Ye Mofeng managed to calm herself down on his own.
She let out a blank "Ah," unsure of what to say next.
But Ye Mofeng had already stood up, gently patted Ruan Tian's shoulder, chuckled, and seemingly had no reaction as he said:
"Okay, just take what I just said as a joke."
He left with the final words, "Good night, go to sleep early," and then quickly departed.
Ruan Tian stared at Ye Mofeng's departing figure, still in a daze.
She's rather slow to realize things when it comes to relationships.
I don't know why Ye Mofeng would do this. Aren't they good brothers? And Ye Mofeng never said he liked her.
Relationship issues are just too complicated.
Ruan Tian called Xiao Bai out, and holding Xiao Bai in her arms, she sighed helplessly.
"Xiao Bai, what do you think Ye Mofeng really means?"
Xiao Bai tilted its head, stuck out its tongue, and licked Ruan Tian's cheek.
"Never mind, let's go to sleep!"
She tidied up the electric tricycle; nowadays, with a little tidying up of the back seat, it can be used as a small bed.
Although it wasn't particularly comfortable to sleep in, overall it felt safe and warm.
She and Xiaobai snuggled together on the bunk in the back of the car, looking up at the stars in the sky.
"Xiaobai, is it just my imagination? The sky seems a little purple tonight!"
After the apocalypse, there were many more stars in the sky, and the environment was much better.
Ruan Tian hopes to look up at the stars in the sky at night.
But tonight's sky is no longer a deep blue; instead, it has a hint of purple.
"And did you smell that? There's an indescribable, strange smell in the air."
Ruan Tian frowned. She sniffed the air, and the faint scent made her dizzy after smelling it for a while.
"Never mind, I'm probably just too tired. I'll go to sleep first."
Ruan Tian buried her face in the fluffy white fur and yawned sleepily.
Before long, it fell into a deep sleep.
...
I don't know how much time had passed, maybe only four hours.
Ruan Tian was woken up by Xiao Bai's wet nose.
"Hmm, what's wrong, Xiaobai?"
Ruan Tian groggily opened her eyes from her sleep and quickly realized that something was wrong!
Suddenly, a lot of purple mist appeared around the camp.
This purple mist is exactly the same as the layer of purple that Ruan Tian saw in the sky at the beginning!
At this moment, Ruan Tian finally realized what was happening!
Something has invaded the camp!
"This purple mist is probably enough to make people dizzy and faint."
Where is Ye Mofeng?!
Ruan Tian immediately thought of Ye Mofeng, and she quickly jumped out of the car.
The entire camp was enveloped in purple mist, except for Ruan Tian's car.
Ruan Tian's little cart has its own protective barrier, so the fog can't get in at all.
"Where did Ye Mofeng go? System, can you help me find out?!"
[Yes, we have located Ye Mofeng's location for you.]
Ruan Tian looked at the small map in the upper left corner, at the blue dot belonging to Ye Mofeng. Just as she was about to take action, she remembered the fog around her.
"What methods are available to resist the surrounding fog?"
