Ruan Tian watched Li Canhua's departing figure and shrugged.
Instead of wasting time focusing on her love-hate relationship with Brother Bai, you'd be better off spending more time on yourself.
Ruan Tian walked into the house, which looked dilapidated, and there were unknown bloodstains on the floor.
She tidied up the room quickly, and just as she finished, someone came in.
It turns out that the girl with glasses, who was Li Canhua's follower, was named Xu Jia.
She threw a frozen, rock-hard steamed bun, which could be used as a hidden weapon, in front of Ruan Tian, as if she were giving food to a beggar.
"With such a trash ability like yours, we can only give you this little bit of food every day."
The steamed bun had a layer of white fuzz on its surface, making it look moldy.
Ruan Tian raised an eyebrow slightly, picked up the steamed bun, blinked, and slowly said:
Is this all you eat every day?
Xu Jia glared at Ruan Tian, looking at her with a resentful gaze, and said coldly:
"My superpower is B-level, unlike trash like you. I eat better than you. If it weren't for you wasting my time, would I be here?"
Ruan Tian deliberately pretended to be naive and asked curiously:
"So what do you eat every day?"
She was genuinely curious, as the survivor base in City C was much larger than other bases and housed many skilled survivors.
Will the food be of a higher quality?
Looking at Ruan Tian's country bumpkin appearance, Xu Jia sneered and scanned her from head to toe with a disdainful gaze.
"We're eating sausages, which are a delicacy after the apocalypse. You've never had them before, have you? That's so pitiful."
She speaks in a sarcastic and unpleasant way, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Before Ruan Tian could even speak, Xu Jia had already lost his patience.
She stopped talking to Ruan Tian, just waved to her, then turned and left without stopping.
It was as if Ruan Tian were some kind of unlucky creature.
Ruan Tian threw the steamed bun away. Why would she eat this spoiled steamed bun when she had so many delicious foods to choose from?
Ruan Tian was starting to look forward to it. What if those people who looked down on her discovered that her dilapidated little food cart could actually produce so much delicious food...
The expressions on their faces will definitely be very interesting.
Ruan Tian had no intention of causing trouble. Because of Li Canhua, the other survivors in City C disliked her, so she didn't want to make a fool of herself.
As evening fell and Ruan Tian was preparing to curl up on the small food cart to sleep, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Who is it?
Ruan Tian got up to open the door, and as soon as she opened it, she met Bai Chulan's gaze.
His face looked very weak, and his lips were pale, but you couldn't tell he was injured just by looking at his face.
"Oh my god, what's wrong with you?"
Ruan Tian quickly ushered Bai Chulan into the house. She gasped as she looked at Bai Chulan's pitiful appearance.
Bai Chulan chuckled lightly. He had long known that he would end up like this, so he wasn't surprised at all.
Ruan Tian circled around Bai Chulan and quickly noticed bloodstains on his back.
The bloodstains stained Bai Chulan's white clothes, which made Ruan Tian even more worried.
"Who hit you?"
She quickly thought of someone: the only person in this base who would dare to lay a hand on Bai Chulan was the "Madam" mentioned by others.
What exactly is the lady's identity?
Bai Chulan, having discerned what Ruan Tian was thinking from her facial expression, spoke:
"The lady is my mother."
Her ability is unique, and with this unique ability, she established a survivor base in City C.
Everyone called her Madam and respected her greatly.
"Ah? I see, no wonder she dared to lay a hand on you."
Ruan Tian immediately understood why Bai Chulan had sought her out.
She quickly lit the stove and dutifully cooked a meal for Bai Chulan, all the while muttering to herself:
"She's your mother, you can't treat her like this! How could you be so heartless?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Chulan remained silent, instead observing Ruan Tian's expression discreetly.
He noticed that when Ruan Tian said those words, her expression was very serious and sincere.
Bai Chulan is a very sensitive person. When facing others, he can usually tell if they are lying.
However, when facing Ruan Tian, Bai Chulan did not sense any hypocrisy from her.
Ruan Tian's righteous indignation was so genuine, it seemed she truly cared about Bai Chulan.
Why are you so angry?
Bai Chulan suddenly became interested. He didn't care that the little house was so dirty. He simply hooked a chair over with his foot and sat down opposite Ruan Tian.
He rested his chin on one hand, smiling as he looked at Ruan Tian, completely unconcerned about the wound on his back.
Those beautiful amber eyes were fixed on Ruan Tian, as if trying to bore a hole through her.
"Huh?" Ruan Tian pointed at herself, "Are you talking to me?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Chulan couldn't help but chuckle. "Right now, it's just the two of us in this room. If I don't talk to you, am I supposed to talk to a ghost?"
Someone died in this house; maybe there really is a ghost wandering around it.
Ruan Tian indulged in unrealistic fantasies, imagining ghosts floating in the sky watching her and Bai Chulan talk, and couldn't help but laugh.
I wonder if ghosts would drool if they saw themselves cooking so much delicious food.
Thinking about this, Ruan Tian became even more curious, her eyes widening in surprise, and she blurted out:
"Bai Chulan, do you think ghosts drool?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Chulan: "..."
He couldn't help but think that Ruan Tian was truly an amazing person.
Sometimes, even he couldn't figure out what was going on in Ruan Tian's little head.
Bai Chulan smiled too, and this time it wasn't a fake smile, but a genuine one.
It's strange, but when he's with Ruan Tian, he can be himself without having to wear that fake mask.
Bai Chulan watched Ruan Tian cook quietly. She was clearly quirky and a little bit naive.
But once she starts cooking, she does it with ease, her movements are fluid and natural, and her expression is so focused that she truly regards cooking as a sacred thing.
When a person gets serious about something, they become very attractive.
Ruan Tian is like that now. She usually acts like a funny girl, but she has a unique charm when she cooks.
Bai Chulan stared at Ruan Tian for a long time, and just as she was about to finish cooking, she suddenly spoke:
"Ruan Tian, do you know? Everyone who has ever seen my true appearance is dead."
And you are the first one still alive.
