Chapter 4: The Popular Cannon Fodder in the Apocalyptic Literature 3
The other people in the living room were also stunned. They stared at the stunning beauty who walked down the stairs without blinking, almost losing their minds.
Until the empty bowl in a boy's hand slipped from his hand due to distraction and fell to the ground with a crisp breaking sound.
They were suddenly awakened. At this time, the girl had already walked down the stairs and walked in front of them.
The closer they got, the more detailed their view became, and the more breathtakingly beautiful the girl's face seemed.
She has delicate skin, well-proportioned body, red lips and fair complexion, and ten fingers as slender as scallion roots.
Their minds, which had just returned, suddenly flew away to the sky and were once again immersed in such unparalleled beauty.
Lu Feng looked at the burning gazes of these people with a somewhat displeased expression.
Even Qi Yan, who usually had a good temper, couldn't help but frown after noticing the gazes of these people. Yan Chuanhao's originally indifferent face became even colder. As an ice-type mutant, he kept emitting cold air, and his eyes were like ice arrows piercing those people.
A chill came over their skin, giving them goose bumps. When those who were intoxicated by the beauty finally regained their senses, they were faced with the cold gazes of the three boys.
They were like vicious wolves guarding treasures, ready to tear anyone to pieces in the next second if they showed even the slightest sign of coveting the treasures.
Under the three pairs of fierce gazes, everyone else hurriedly turned their eyes away and stopped looking at the girl who could easily shake people's minds.
Nan Qiao breathed a sigh of relief when she felt that the burning gazes on her had disappeared. The eyes of more than a dozen strangers were fixed on her, and she was so nervous when she went downstairs that she didn't know what to do with her hands.
She calmed down a bit, then greeted with a smile: "Hello, my name is Nan Qiao, I am..." She paused and continued: "I am the owner of this villa."
The girl looked even more beautiful under the light, with a charming smile, a pretty face more beautiful than flowers, a face more beautiful than spring red, and a pleasant voice.
The boys stole a glance and quickly lowered their heads, becoming inexplicably restrained. The girls blushed as they looked at the beauty before them. Such extreme beauty could easily attract both men and women, so for a moment, they didn't respond.
No one responded. Nan Qiao felt a little embarrassed for a moment. She twirled her fingers helplessly and turned to Qi Yan for help.
When Qi Yan received the girl's pleading eyes, his heart softened, and then he was delighted. The first person she asked for help was him. Does it mean that he is someone she can trust in her mind?
He was secretly happy, but his eyes swept over the group of red-faced guys without any emotion. When he was about to speak up to help the girl, a cold voice came from beside him.
"Didn't you hear her talking to you?" It was Yan Chuanhao's voice.
Hearing this voice, everyone who was immersed in their own thoughts immediately came back to their senses and responded stumblingly: "Miss Nan, hello."
Greetings came one after another, with politeness and a hint of respect.
Qi Yan looked at his good friend Yan Chuanhao with some surprise. The three of them grew up together and knew each other well. If it was Lu Feng who spoke just now, he would not be surprised at all. Lu Feng seemed to be a born romantic and very gentle to girls.
But when this person turned out to be Yan Chuanhao, he was instinctively surprised. Helping a woman out of trouble is not something a man with Yan Chuanhao's personality can do.
When he set his eyes on the girl again, he couldn't help but laugh. He thought, there should be few people in the world who can resist such beauty. Even he himself had just done many things that went against his own character.
"Is this what we're having for dinner today?" Lu Feng also noticed Yan Chuanhao's abnormality. His eyes darkened as he saw the food on the table. He then said nonchalantly, with a hint of disdain in his tone, "This is too simple."
Simple? How could it be simple? If these words were heard by the people outside the villa who were already running out of food and ammunition, they would definitely scold them for being extravagant. And they had been eating like this for several days before, so why didn't they say it was simple then?
The cooks were speechless, but they dared not speak out, and could only complain in their hearts. A tall and big boy replied with a wry smile, "Brother Lu, these are all the supplies in the car today, so I made these few dishes, just to make do with one bite."
If Lu Feng had to deal with it himself, he wouldn't mind. However, the girl was so delicate and weak, and she didn't look very well. How could she eat such simple and unnutritious food?
Qi Yan also noticed this problem, and he asked the girl, "Do you like these things?" If you don't like them, it doesn't matter if you replace them, they have plenty of supplies anyway.
The girl was a bit confused by the question and just shook her head subconsciously. She was in poor health, and her doctor had always advised her not to eat anything with strong flavors like instant noodles. Even the cookies and bread she had eaten before were specially made by a bakery. They were low in sugar and oil, and easy to digest.
Suddenly realizing that Lu Feng's dislike for the food on the table was because of her, she turned around and said seriously, "Only the person who cooked is qualified to give opinions on the food. People who didn't cook it themselves can't be picky."
Her voice was soft and gentle, yet also serious, and she pointed specifically at the boiled pumpkin on the table: "I can eat this."
She doesn't have high requirements for the taste of food, she just wants to eat something hot right now. Boiled pumpkin tastes sweet, and she likes it.
"How can that be," Lu Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't A Yan just say that this meal is our apology for breaking into your house? How can I not let you eat to your satisfaction?" Lu Feng directly brought up Qi Yan as an excuse.
Qi Yan stared at Lu Feng without any emotion, but still nodded. He was reluctant to let the girl eat such simple food, and even more reluctant to let her eat only boiled pumpkin.
Lu Feng approached Qi Yan and whispered something. Qi Yan took out a tightly wrapped bag, a few green onions and eggs from the space and handed it to him.
Lu Feng took the item and casually asked the girl if there was anything she didn't like or was allergic to. Nan Qiao looked at the item in Qi Yan's hand in surprise and casually replied, "No."
"You go sit down first and wait for me for a few minutes." After leaving this sentence, Lu Feng went straight into the kitchen.
Lu Feng is a person who loves to enjoy life. Before the end of the world, he had a conflict with his family and went abroad alone for more than a year.
He couldn't get used to foreign food, and the Chinese takeout he ordered wasn't authentic either, so he learned to cook on his own. Fortunately, he had some talent, and the food he cooked was decent and tasted good.
He put some wontons he had made earlier, stuffed with cabbage and fresh meat, into the pot and cooked them, then sprinkled a few fresh shrimps on them. Then he scooped them out, put them in a bowl, scooped a few spoonfuls of wonton soup on them, sprinkled them with chopped green onions, and poured a few drops of sesame oil.
While cooking the wontons, he also steamed three eggs. He beat the eggs, added appropriate amount of water, steamed them, poured soy sauce on them, and sprinkled them with chopped green onions and sesame oil.
Outside the kitchen, Nan Qiao was surprised to see something appear out of thin air in Qi Yan's hand, but she found that the people around him were not surprised at all.
Nan Qiao pursed her lips, approached him nervously, called his name awkwardly, and asked, "Qi, Qi Yan, you just did that, and something suddenly appeared in your hand. Is it a magic trick?" As she spoke, she gestured with her hands, her watery eyes filled with nervousness and curiosity.
It's no wonder the girl was so surprised. She had been trapped in the villa for nearly two weeks. There was no radio around her to receive news from the outside world, and naturally there was no channel to know the existence of people with special abilities.
The only time they used their supernatural powers in front of her was when Qi Yan brought her water. However, the girl was in an emotional state at the time and did not notice where the water she drank came from. She thought Qi Yan had brought it with him.
After hearing the girl's words, the several S University students standing there looked at each other and the surroundings fell into silence.
Qi Yan looked at the girl's face with genuine doubt and was a little surprised. Is there anyone who doesn't know about superpowers now?
However, when he thought about how she had been trapped in this house for nearly two weeks after the apocalypse and must have known nothing about the outside world, his confusion turned into pity.
He patiently explained to the girl what superpowers were, and also mentioned how the world outside the villa was like a purgatory.
The girl's face turned pale after hearing this. She clutched the sofa tightly and muttered to herself, "Didn't the government intervene?"
"The apocalypse came too suddenly, and too many people turned into zombies. Even soldiers in the army have turned into zombies. However, I heard on the radio that the government has also sent search and rescue teams to search for survivors, and has also established survivor bases in various places." Qi Yan continued to patiently answer the girl's questions.
Hearing that the country had intervened and sent troops to rescue the survivors, the girl felt a little relieved. The vast majority of Chinese people have a high degree of trust in the country and absolute respect for the people's army. In such a doomsday crisis, she believed that the country would not abandon its people.
She can still continue to wait patiently in the villa for government rescue!
As if aware of the girl's thoughts, Qi Yan's eyes darkened slightly, and he slowly fixed his gaze on the girl's beautiful face.
The girl who has not yet experienced the storms of the end of the world is like a pure and flawless flower blooming on rotten soil, able to attract everyone's attention. Qi Yan's eyes became deep. Only an absolutely strong man can possess and keep such a person.
He didn't say anything else. He couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The girl had not completely let down her guard against him yet, so everything had to be done slowly.
He asked everyone else to go eat first, and he and Yan Chuanhao sat on the sofa to accompany the girl.
Soon, Lu Feng came out with a tray. She placed the tray on the coffee table in front of the girl and said with a hint of pride, "Try it."
Nan Qiao looked at the tray with some curiosity. There were two medium-sized bowls on the tray. The bowl on the left contained wontons with thin skin and large fillings, and the bowl on the right contained smooth and tender steamed eggs. It was very delicate and fragrant. There were also chopsticks and a spoon on the tray.
She picked up the spoon with her bare hands and scooped up a wonton. The wonton was a little big, so she could only bite half of it. When the hot wonton went into her mouth, her eyes lit up. The wonton was unexpectedly delicious, with the salty and fresh taste of dried shrimp.
She couldn't help but nod, looking at Lu Feng with sparkling eyes, and praised him in surprise: "It's delicious. I didn't expect your cooking skills are so good."
Lu Feng, who received the beauty's praise, was also full of smiles and pride. He pointed to the bowl of steamed eggs and said attentively: "Try this too."
The girl obediently scooped up a spoonful of steamed egg. It looked smooth and tender. She could smell the aroma of sesame oil when she got close. She couldn't wait to put it in her mouth. The egg was softened and still warm, melting in her mouth.
Qi Yan and the others saw that the girl was eating happily and contentedly, looking like a little greedy cat, and a smile flashed in their eyes.
Looking at the boys surrounding the girl in the living room, watching her eat seriously with obvious smiles on their faces, Tian Man looked at her best friend Ke Yue who was eating seriously beside her with some concern.
As a close friend, she had some understanding of Lu Keyue's feelings and had always been supportive. Qi Yan was very concerned about that girl and was a little worried that her close friend would be upset if she saw it.
Lu Keyue noticed the worried look in her little sister's eyes, and looked over. After a few seconds, she looked away without any reluctance, and smiled reassuringly at her best friend, indicating that she should not worry about her and that she was fine.
Lu Keyue was a very confident person, but that didn't mean she didn't have self-awareness. She knew very well that she couldn't compare to such a beautiful woman whose beauty made even her heart flutter.
She had indeed harbored some desire to get close to Qi Yan, but that was simply because Qi Yan was powerful enough to offer her some protection in the turbulent apocalypse. As for any deep feelings, there truly were none. She hadn't invested much emotion in him, so naturally, she wouldn't feel too much loss.
However, being able to feel the care from her sisters made Lu Keyue feel warm in her heart. She couldn't help but feel fortunate that she was not alone and that there were still people who truly cared about her.
She picked up a piece of fried meat for her sister and motioned her to eat.
Tian Man also noticed that Lu Keyue was indeed not upset, and she felt relieved, lowering her head and continuing to eat seriously. In the end times, food was precious and life was precarious, so she would savor every meal carefully.
They ate quickly, finishing their meal before Nan Qiao even finished her bowl of wontons. The tall boy who had spoken earlier scratched his head and said to them, "Brother Lu, there's food left on the table for you." He then politely asked Nan Qiao if there was a suitable place to sleep.
Nan Qiao thought for a moment and said, "There are still a few empty rooms on the third floor, but some rooms don't have bedding."
The tall man was called Tian Hao, Tian Man's brother. He said awkwardly that they didn't need bedding. They had rested in the car for several nights and their backs and waists ached from sleeping. All they needed was a place to lie down and rest.
Seeing that the girl stopped eating, Qi Yan waved his hand and threw out a few sets of clean bedding, signaling them to hurry up and not disturb the girl while she was eating.
Tian Hao took the bedding with a silly smile and went upstairs with a dozen people.
It was then that Nan Qiao realized that the boys around her hadn't eaten yet. She wasn't in good health, and had always eaten on time before the apocalypse. She was enjoying her meal so much that she hadn't noticed they hadn't finished yet, and she suddenly felt a little guilty.
"You guys go eat first." She put down the spoon in her hand and said a little embarrassedly.
"It's okay. We're not hungry yet. You eat first and we'll eat after you finish." Qi Yan said gently.
The girl had no choice but to eat faster. Lu Feng looked at her helplessly and frowned: "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke, we are really not hungry, don't eat so fast!"
Yan Chuanhao watched the girl speed up her eating without saying anything. He just considerately placed a bottle of milk on the coffee table to the right of the girl.
Because she increased her speed, the girl finished eating quickly. She squinted her eyes with some satisfaction, like a sated kitten.
Seeing the girl's cute little expression after she finished eating, Qi Yan smiled helplessly and shook his head. Suddenly, a plate of washed grapes appeared in his hand. He placed it on the coffee table and said gently, "After you finish eating, take a rest for a few minutes and then have some more fruit. We'll go eat first."
After seeing the girl nod obediently, they felt relieved and quickly walked to the dining table and started eating dinner.
