After entering the house, Ah Li looked at Duanmu Ye with great displeasure.
After inviting Mr. and Mrs. Chen to sit down, Duanmu Ye went to prepare the meal.
Chen's mother nudged Ali and said, "You go and help too."
Ahri refused outright: "No."
Chen's mother said, "My dear, that's not how I taught you."
Mr. Chen also said, "At home, your mother and I always do housework together."
Chen's mother even stood up and said, "If you don't go, your father and I will go and help."
Ahri then stood up and said, "Alright, alright, you guys just sit here and relax, I'll go help."
Duanmu Ye had already heard Ah Li's voice from inside the kitchen. He looked at Ah Li as she walked over and said, "You don't need to help."
Ah Li stood next to Duanmu Ye and said, "I don't want to help either."
However, with Mr. and Mrs. Chen watching over her, Ah Li still had to put on a show.
Ahri started picking vegetables while whispering, "What did you mean by taking my car just now?"
Duanmu Ye had already started heating the oil in the wok, preparing to stir-fry the vegetables.
Ah Li also noticed that Duanmu Ye had already put the rice in the pot.
Duanmu Ye looked at the red dot that lit up on the rice cooker before saying, "I was just worried that you might drive off with your parents."
Ahri was extremely confused. Wasn't it normal for her to drive her parents away?
She noticed that something was wrong with Duanmu Ye, but she said, "I really have to leave. You can put the car away, but you can't stop me."
Duanmu Ye took out a fish from his spatial storage and stared straight at Ah Li, saying, "I'm perfectly fine. I can do laundry, cook, and kill zombies."
Ahri stepped aside slightly, took the vegetables she had prepared to wash, and went straight to the point, "You like me?"
"Um."
Duanmu Ye didn't know when he fell in love with Ah Li. It might have been from the day Ah Li slept with him, or it might have been love at first sight.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so easily swayed by his nature.
Boil water when told to boil water, cook rice when told to cook rice.
All he knew was that the time he spent with Ahri was the happiest and most relaxed time he had in the apocalypse.
"Then you'll take my car back?"
"I'm afraid that if you really share the supplies with me, you'll cut ties with me."
Duanmu Ye took the washed vegetables from Ah Li's hands and started stir-frying them.
Ah Li was about to wash the fish when Duanmu Ye asked, "And you? Do you like me?"
"I have no idea."
Ah Li originally intended to become sworn brothers with Duanmu Ye, but he inexplicably fell in love with her.
Duanmu Ye felt a pang of heartache. Did this person not like him?
Duanmu Ye thought this way, and he asked this question.
Don't you like me?
Ah Li handed the plate to Duanmu Ye, saying, "I don't know, could you please not ask now?"
Actually, Ahri likes it; who wouldn't?
However, sometimes liking someone too quickly can feel unreal.
He hadn't shown any sign of liking her before; they usually treated each other like brothers.
Duanmu Ye didn't ask any more questions, but the corners of his mouth curled up happily. He didn't say he didn't like it, which meant he liked it.
Ahri is a girl, so she's probably shy and embarrassed to say it.
Seeing that Duanmu Ye seemed quite happy, Ah Li said, "Then give me back my car. I still have things inside."
"We'll see."
Duanmu Ye put the fish into the pot and let Ali continue washing the vegetables.
After the rice was cooked, Duanmu Ye asked Ali to call Chen's parents over for dinner.
The Ping An Base has both water and electricity.
After dinner, Ali wanted to accompany Mr. and Mrs. Chen back to their neighborhood for a visit.
Duanmu Ye wanted to go with them, but he had just returned and the base leader wanted to see him.
Duanmu Ye could only let Ah Li go first. Before Ah Li left, he grabbed her hand and said, "Don't hide from me."
Ahri nodded and said, "Yeah, I won't hide from you. I'll stay right here in the Peace Base."
Duanmu Ye then let go of his hand and said, "I have other cars here, you can drive them."
Ahri shook her head and said, "No need, I'll go for a walk with my parents."
As the saying goes, "Take a walk after a meal, and you'll live to ninety-nine."
When Ali and Mr. and Mrs. Chen were almost at the residential area, Mr. and Mrs. Chen's expressions turned a little strange.
A group of people appeared in front of them. One of them looked at Ah Li with a lewd expression and said, "Old Chen, is this your daughter?"
Because Mr. and Mrs. Chen were very worried about their daughter every day, they would go to the entrance of the base to wait for her from time to time.
They wait until perhaps one day, their little girl will appear among the crowds coming to the Ping An base.
Therefore, it is no secret here that Mr. and Mrs. Chen have a daughter.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen quickly blocked Ali, saying somewhat reluctantly, "Yes, Boss Lin."
Boss Lin, a person with superpowers in the base, often loiters near residential areas where ordinary people live.
He always used food, drinks, and medicine to force girls to be with him.
Even if someone musters the courage to stand up and resist, he can always cleverly reverse right and wrong with the phrase "each to their own advantage," making the victim seem like the unreasonable party.
What's even more chilling is that Boss Lin would often launch a frenzied revenge afterward, making those who dared to resist him pay a heavy price.
Ordinary people, under his tyranny, were powerless to resist like lambs, living in fear and despair.
The Peace Base remained rather indifferent to these matters. After all, in this apocalypse, the gap between superhumans and ordinary people was like an insurmountable chasm.
