When it ca to cooking, Chen Ye's trust in others far exceeded his trust in himself.
However, Chen Ye had paid the price for it—Sun Xixi's Iron Fist wasn't exactly easy to endure.
Of course, shaless Chen Ye couldn't care less about that.
Sun Xixi, on the other hand, was absolutely furious.
She had originally stuck to the principle of not wasting food!
She had originally thought that at the very least, Chen Ye had cooked the al!
Even if it tasted awful, Sun Xixi had forced it down!
In truth, Sun Xixi had felt a tiny bit of gratitude deep down.
After all, the mont she had asked, Chen Ye had given her the al.
Even if it was terrible, it was still a gesture, right?
But then this bastard…
He was utterly inhuman, just utterly inhuman…
The rest of the convoy was still fast asleep.
Even with the commotion between Sun Xixi and Chen Ye, hardly anyone woke up.
If not for the Concealnt Barrier Chu Che had released still holding steady, and the snoring filling the air all around them,
Chen Ye would have suspected this was a land of the dead.
To conserve supplies, the camp's bonfire had been put out, and Chen Ye didn't bother with it.
Other than a few patches of starlight falling to the ground, there wasn't a single trace of light anywhere else.
Xu Lina's cousin, Lai Baiwei, quickly whipped up a relatively hearty dinner.
For this al, Lai Baiwei had racked her brains.
Using limited ingredients, she had managed to put together a satisfactory report card.
Chen Ye kept his promise and split the dinner into two portions—one for Lai Baiwei and one for himself.
Back in the Doomsday Convoy, Lai Baiwei had kept as low a profile as possible.
As a result, she had never gotten her hands on anything good to eat or use.
After recognizing her cousin,
Lai Baiwei's life had started to improve.
But Xu Lina's supplies weren't abundant either.
Such a lavish al was the most extravagant she'd had since the apocalypse began.
Even though tonight's ingredients were the most ordinary of things before the apocalypse,
Lai Baiwei still ate with tears streaming down her face.
Yes, literally—tears streaming down her face.
This woman, whose looks were only slightly below Xu Lina's, was bawling her eyes out while clutching her bowl.
To be honest, there was a bit of pretense mixed in.
Because, in general, when a guy sees a girl crying like that, he can't help but feel a stir in his heart, right?
Based on her experience, a pretty girl crying this hard,
would most likely get comforted, and then naturally leave a soft impression in the other person's heart.
She might even get more out of it.
This tactic might be outdated, even clumsy,
but it worked most of the ti.
Yes, Lai Baiwei was just a short distance from Chen Ye.
This crying act was half a genuine emotional release and half perford for Chen Ye to see.
Back in the Doomsday Convoy, Lai Baiwei had never used these tricks.
Because, in that kind of environnt, using such thods would only bring danger to herself.
But now…
Sotis, showing weakness is also a hunting strategy.
If Xu Lina knew what Lai Baiwei was thinking right now, she'd probably be very interested—grabbing a little stool to watch the show.
If Chen Ye could be handled that easily,
then she wouldn't have had to work so hard, even risking becoming a Wonder Symbiont.
Sure enough, Chen Ye frowned: "If you cry one more ti, I'll throw you out!"
Lai Baiwei: "..."
Clearly, Lai Baiwei had mistaken Chen Ye for an ordinary man.
And she had severely underestimated Chen Ye's ruthlessness.
Lai Baiwei's face paled slightly, and she quickly stood up to bow to Chen Ye: "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I... I didn't an to, I just—"
"Shut up. I'm not interested in your story!"
Chen Ye walked away with his bowl.
Lai Baiwei: "..."
The story she had long rehearsed hadn't even gotten past the first line~
This man...
Before long, an empty bowl was tossed over.
"Don't forget to wash the dishes!"
Lai Baiwei: "..."
This dog of a man... was there sothing wrong with his brain?
But earlier, the way he had looked at her had clearly been...
This man definitely had sothing wrong with his head.
Aside from a few people who had woken up,
everyone else was still sound asleep.
The ntal pressure from the Sea of Chaotic Graves had been too much.
Once they relaxed, many had fallen into a deep sleep.
"No, don't co near , don't co near ..."
"Wah... don't!"
Little Fish was clearly having a nightmare.
Tears and snot covered her entire face. She was curled up in a corner, tiny and pitiful, clutching her knees tightly with both arms.
Her face was scrunched up like a wrinkled tangerine.
Obviously, things were not going well for her in that nightmare.
"Mom, Dad, wahhh..."
"Cousin, save , save ... wahhh..."
Tears had already traced down Little Fish's face, soaking a large patch of the seat.
Chen Ye frowned. This little girl was having a nightmare too?
It seed the Sea of Chaotic Graves and the Forest Tide had given her a severe ntal shock.
Chen Ye raised his foot and kicked Little Fish hard twice right on her little butt.
He spoke rudely as he did: "Hey, hey... little girl, get up. You're late for school..."
Seeing that Little Fish still hadn't woken up,
Chen Ye increased his force, leaving two big footprints on her little butt,
kicking her straight into the corner of the seat.
"Hey, you little idiot, get up. Stop sleeping, goddammit. Stop sleeping!"
"Damn, for soone so small, how can you sleep so much?"
"What the hell is this?"
Little Fish had been having a nightmare, reliving the mont she had last seen her parents.
That scene was sothing she would never forget in her lifeti.
In truth, many survivors from the apocalypse had psychological trauma just like Little Fish.
After the apocalypse, everyone was living with their wounds.
In the nightmare, Little Fish was at a critical mont. In the dream, she was so helpless, backed into a corner by a monster.
Then, that evil, enormous monster kicked her little butt rcilessly with its foot.
Each kick urged her to wake up soon.
Wake up???
Little Fish's eyes snapped open.
Then she felt a heavy force on her little butt, and she had been kicked all the way into the farthest corner of the seat.
The force...
It was as if he wanted to embed her into the seat.
"Hey, you idiot! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!..."
That familiar voice...
Each "Wake up" was accompanied by a powerful kick.
"Chen Ye, I'll kill you!"
When Little Fish jumped up from the seat, her rage instantly replaced the terror of the nightmare.
Then, flailing wildly, she lunged at Chen Ye.
"Bam~~~"
Chen Ye quickly retreated, then slamd the car door shut, also sealing it with Smoke Breath.
"Chen Ye, you bastard..."
"I will never forgive you! Never!~~~"
Little Fish flailed inside the car, looking like a toothless little tiger.
