125: Closeness of relationship

After replying to most of the messages, Xu Zimo opened the system to check today's tasks.

【Task loading...】

【My name is Namish Harding, and my group has been trapped underwater for a week.】

【That damn Ocean Gate company, have they abandoned us at the bottom of the sea?! I see no rescue efforts from them.】

【They will definitely go to hell!】

【Fortunately, the benevolent God has not abandoned His believers, and has sent us water, food, and oxygen...】

【Thank God!】

【Merciful Lord, if You can save Your loyal believer, I am willing to give all my wealth.】

【Now, the food, water, and oxygen in the submarine are almost depleted. If the Lord can hear the call of His believer, please grant Your believer more food and oxygen to live, for this, I am willing to donate one million to the Lord.】

【Task One: Rescue Mish Harding from his predicament.】

【Reward: 2.414 billion.】

【Task Two: Oxygen tanks, food, water.】

【Reward: One million cash.】

Holy cow.

The reward directly increased by more than twenty times.

What a pity, it's still the same as last time, Xu Zimo simply doesn't have the ability to rescue someone from ten thousand meters under the sea.

However, the reward for Task Two is also considerable.

This task must be done.

“You all eat first, I’m going out for a bit and will be right back.”

Xu Zimo greeted Jiang Yuwei and the others and then left.

With the experience from last time, buying these things wasn't difficult.

He even considered whether he should stock up on supplies in the storage room, otherwise, buying them every time would be troublesome.

Although he couldn't get the 2.414 billion all at once, he could slowly chip away at it.

Last time, Tu Lei made him feel sympathy, but this overseas tycoon was different.

He felt no qualms about fleecing a capitalist.

Hopefully, the submarine can hold out a bit longer.

【System prompt: Oxygen tanks, food, water, trade?】

【China Construction Bank】Your account 8445 received a deposit of 1,000,000 yuan at 12:05 on June 15th. Available balance: 2,035,469.15 yuan.

Originally, he had over 1.4 million yuan last time, but after paying Lin Zhuimiao’s grandfather’s medical expenses, he had a little over one million left. Now, his balance has directly reached two million.

Thus, even if something happens, Xu Zimo has confidence.

Hmm... I wonder how that college student whose family went bankrupt is doing.

From her situation, she seemed like someone who cared a lot about appearances, willing to sell her luxury items to maintain a decent life.

In simple terms, she suffered to save face.

Since it was a system task, Xu Zimo was still very curious about her.

He just didn't know how to contact her in this situation.

After all, this task was her inner thought; if he approached her rashly, it might not be very appropriate, right?

Next time this task appears, he could ask the system about the situation.

Xu Zimo spent the entire afternoon with Jiang Yuwei and the other two.

He had suggested going shopping, but they didn't want to; instead, they enjoyed spending time with Xu Zimo more.

He stayed in the room with Jiang Yuwei for almost two hours.

Hiss!... When he came out, Xu Zimo massaged his lower back.

It was a bit sore.

Although his physique had reached the passing line, he couldn't endure such exertion.

No way to play four-player.

Xu Zimo lay down on the sofa to rest, watching the three of them play games.

Jiang Yuwei and Feng Fangfang kept shouting, while Jiang Youqi was very quiet, but she was still very serious when playing the game.

Perhaps he was too tired.

Xu Zimo fell asleep on the sofa, and when he woke up again, only Feng Fangfang was in the living room.

This girl.

She was secretly eating by herself.

“Where are they?”

Xu Zimo was surprised by her boldness.

“Weiwei and Qiqi went to buy groceries...” Feng Fangfang mumbled indistinctly.

“Why didn’t you go?”

“I was hungry, couldn’t walk.”

Feng Fangfang put down her bowl and chopsticks, looked up, and said with a righteous tone.

What else could he do?

He couldn’t let her starve, could he?

So, he let her be.

When Jiang Yuwei and Jiang Youqi returned with groceries, Xu Zimo was not in the living room.

Feng Fangfang seemed to have eaten a bit too much and was lying on the sofa, not even helping her good friends cook.

A moment later.

Xu Zimo came out of the room; he seemed to have changed his clothes.

“You’re back.”

He walked over calmly, stood between Jiang Yuwei and Jiang Youqi, and helped them prepare the ingredients.

There was fish.

There were shrimp.

There were oysters.

The preparation was slow, especially the shrimp, which needed to be scrubbed clean and have their veins removed.

The three of them worked together, chatting and laughing, which made it less tiring.

Although the sink was long, there were three people, so they were almost standing side by side, and bumps and nudges were inevitable.

“I’ll help too!”

Feng Fangfang stopped being lazy, ran over, and squeezed to Jiang Youqi’s left: “Qiqi, move over a bit, give me some space.”

With that squeeze, Jiang Youqi inevitably leaned against Xu Zimo.

???

How could she even bump into him like that?

Xu Zimo felt a bit dizzy, but he had to pretend everything was fine.

She truly was a good girl!

So approachable.

Jiang Youqi’s face flushed slightly; she had originally wanted to pull away.

But.

Everyone else was working, and she felt too embarrassed to stand idly by herself.

So, she secretly glanced at Xu Zimo, and seeing his expression was normal, she slightly relaxed and continued to prepare the shrimp in her hands.

After that, there were even more bumps and nudges.

Three people were already a bit cramped, and four people were clearly a bit crowded, almost always shoulder to shoulder.

At first, Jiang Youqi kept blushing, her body tense, but slowly, she seemed to get used to it.

After all, compared to half her body leaning against Xu Zimo during the last movie, just leaning against his shoulder was nothing.

Even she herself didn’t realize that from initially avoiding Xu Zimo from a distance, she could now even accept this level of contact.

Although Jiang Youqi was still as quiet as ever, her relationship with Xu Zimo was no longer as distant as before.

This dinner was very enjoyable.

Jiang Yuwei and Feng Fangfang were afraid their roommate wouldn't eat enough, so they kept putting food on Jiang Youqi’s plate.

It must be said that compared to when they first met, Jiang Youqi's complexion was indeed much better now, and she was even more radiant and charming.

Under the lights.

The simply dressed girl was so bright and captivating.

Xu Zimo couldn't help but check her information.

Name: Jiang Youqi

Age: 20

Height: 167

Weight: 54kg

Appearance: 93

Figure: 95

Experience: T0

Sure enough, her appearance had improved.

Moreover, her weight had also increased by one kilogram.

Given her obvious malnutrition, Jiang Youqi’s appearance was still as high as 92, which shows how truly beautiful she is.

She was truly naturally beautiful.
