Chapter 45 The Act of the White Lotus



After waiting for about half an hour, Li Yan shouted "Let's go!" and slowly drove towards the base.

Two hours later, when it was dark, they finally saw the gate of the base.

Because of the snow, it got dark exceptionally early. It was dark by four or five o'clock.

The lights on the base's bowls were on, illuminating the snow and making them clearly visible from afar.

"Let's go to the service center first, exchange our contribution points, and then go home," Fu Heng said, tilting his head towards Ye Yunxi.

"Okay, let's go to the service center first."

Ye Yunxi had no objections, after all, she didn't want to drag a wild boar around.

It's too much trouble to take it home, so I might as well go to the service center and exchange it for contribution points first.

Ye Yunxi drove to the service center. Perhaps because of the cold, the service center was deserted and there were hardly any people.

Fu Heng told Ye Yunxi to stay in the car, and that he would go by himself.

Ye Yunxi didn't have to wait long before she saw Fu Heng walking over with the service center staff.

They went to the back of the car, untied the steel cable from the wild boar, and then pulled the boar into the service hall.

Fu Heng opened the back door of the car, took out six rabbits, and followed them into the service center.

A short while later, Fu Heng came out again and got into the car.

Fu Heng took out a card from his pocket and said, "The contribution points for the wild boar and the rabbit are all in here. I exchanged a total of 730 contribution points. You can keep this card for safekeeping."

"Don't you want it?" Ye Yunxi asked, taking the contribution point card.

"I don't need anything, and besides, I still have you," Fu Heng said with a sly smile.

Ye Yunxi smiled and said, "Let's go home for dinner."

"Wait, Captain Li still owes us gasoline. We can't let him get away with this."

Ye Yunxi was taken aback. Captain Li had indeed said he would give them gasoline, but it was too cold now, and they couldn't run away anyway. "Let's go home first, and go another day."

"Okay, I'll ask him for it another day."

Ye Yunxi drove back to the residential area, parked the car in the parking lot, opened the car door and got out, then drained the gasoline from the car.

Fu Heng carried the small oil can and returned home with Ye Yunxi.

Back on the seventh floor, Ye Yunxi opened the iron gate, locked it after entering, then opened her own door, closed the bedroom door, added firewood and charcoal to the stove, lit the firewood, and let it burn.

They went back into the bedroom's small heater and brought it to the living room. After warming up for a while, Ye Yunxi released Yunzi from her spatial storage. She fed it some extra food before asking Fu Heng a question.

What would you like to eat? I'll get it for you.

"Anything is fine, I'm not picky about food."

Ye Yunxi took out spicy rabbit meat, spicy crayfish, bok choy, and loofah and egg drop soup from her spatial storage.

These were all stockpiled by Ye Yunxi at the restaurant before the apocalypse; they were still steaming hot when taken out. They wouldn't get cold if placed on the stove, and could be eaten slowly.

After the meal, Fu Heng took the initiative to clean up the dishes, and Ye Yunxi was happy to have some free time.

She took out a foot bath tub, added boiling water, and soaked her feet. After Fu Heng finished washing the dishes, she spent some time with Ye Yunxi before saying goodnight and returning home.

After finishing her run, Ye Yunxi washed up, went to bed, watched some TV series on her tablet, and then went to sleep.

When Ye Yunxi woke up again, it was already past six o'clock the next morning.

The first thing I do when I wake up is to put charcoal on the stove.

After a night, only a sliver of charcoal remained in the stove.

After washing up, Ye Yunxi tidied the bed and took out porridge, eggs, and pancakes. Yunzi was still asleep, so she didn't need to prepare any food for it.

After breakfast, I tidied up the dishes, took out my tablet, and sat in my teddy bear's lap to watch a TV series.

A short while later, Ye Yunxi heard someone banging loudly on the iron gate outside.

Upon hearing the sound, Ye Yunxi put on her military overcoat and hat, opened her front door, and saw Fu Heng also opening his door and coming out.

The two exchanged a glance, not bothering to greet each other, and walked to the stairwell, where they saw a person standing outside the iron gate.

"What do you want?" Ye Yunxi asked after looking her over.

"Hello, older brother and sister. I just moved in downstairs. My name is Hu Huiyi. I came here to say hello. We'll be neighbors from now on, so please take care of me," Hu Huiyi said in a soft voice.

Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng exchanged a glance, looking at her with great confusion.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Hu Huiyi asked again in a low voice, "Brother and sister, why aren't you saying anything?"

Hearing the voice again, Ye Yunxi frowned and looked at Hu Huiyi coldly, saying, "Don't call me that. I don't have a sister. If you have nothing else to do, you should leave."

Ignoring Ye Yunxi's words, Hu Huiyi feigned grievance and said, "Sister, do you not like me?"

"We just met, I don't even know who you are, so how can I talk about liking or disliking you? Besides, I have no interest in watching your 'white lotus' act. Don't just come knocking on this door like that. If there's a next time, things won't be so easy to talk to," Ye Yunxi threatened.

After saying that, she went back to her own home, leaving Fu Heng with a crack in the door.

"Little brother, did the sister just now not like me? Did I do something wrong?" Hu Huiyi didn't leave, looking at Fu Heng with red eyes.

Fu Heng chuckled: "How do you know she's older than you?"

"I don't know."

"Then why did you call her 'sister'? Remember what she just said, and don't come here again. I won't be so lenient with you next time."

After saying that, he stopped looking at Hu Huiyi and went to Ye Yunxi's house.

Hu Huiyi was so angry she gritted her teeth. Looking at the man in front of her, she wondered what their relationship was—going to the girl's house earlier. Then she left the seventh floor.
