287: Then I would rather die alone

More than a dozen bodyguards entered the Supermarket.

Protected in the middle was Second Miss You, whom they hadn't seen in over half a month.

Father You, Mother You, and You Chengyu had been worried that she hadn't recovered properly, so they insisted she stay home until today before allowing her to go out with bodyguards.

“Sister Jiang, thank you for saving me before. I brought your favorite gold, two truckloads in total, parked outside. Where should I have it moved?”

Jiang Fei: “To the storeroom.”

She really liked the way this brother and sister expressed their gratitude!

You Yuxi told the bodyguards to move the gold.

Jiang Zhengkang and the others also went out to help.

Just then, Mo Yanan drove over:

“Sister Jiang Fei, I came to buy multigrain flour for my father.”

“I need 10 cans for black hair and 10 cans for nourishing the stomach and strengthening the spleen.”

Ever since the small Supermarket introduced multigrain flour, Father Mo had abandoned wild vegetable dumplings and become obsessed with health preservation.

Jiang Fei went to get the goods for Mo Yanan.

When You Yuxi saw Mo Yanan, she instinctively walked towards him.

But in the next second, she stopped, simply greeting him: “Young Master Mo, hello.”

Mo Yanan seemed not to hear her words. He told Uncle Liu to move the gold from the car into the Supermarket, then took the multigrain flour and left.

From beginning to end, he didn't even spare You Yuxi a glance.

Tears welled up in You Yuxi's eyes: “I thought if I acted a bit colder towards Yan'an, he would notice me…”

“Sister Jiang, do you also think there’s no possibility between him and me?”

Jiang Fei fell silent.

She didn't know how to answer, nor how to comfort her.

When it came to matters of the heart, no matter how much outsiders said, it was not as good as the person involved understanding it themselves.

Without a response from Jiang Fei, You Yuxi didn't press further and left after the bodyguards finished moving the gold.

Su Liuyuan and the others had just overheard the conversation between You Yuxi and Jiang Fei.

Han Yang couldn't understand: “Why must Second Miss You cling to Mo Yanan like this?”

Su Liuyuan: “Love can make one lose oneself, reason, and judgment.”

“When you one day like someone so much that you can’t extricate yourself, then you’ll understand You Yuxi.”

“Then I’d rather grow old alone.” Han Yang said with a look of rejection:

“I don’t want to change myself for another person.”

As if thinking of something, Han Yang asked curiously:

“Brother Su, you understand relationships so well, why are you still single?”

Jiang Zhengkang: “That’s right, Liu Yuan, don’t you even have a girlfriend?”

“That shelf over there is a bit dirty, I’ll go wipe it.” Su Liuyuan chose to make a quick escape.

Xiao Shi was still nearby.

He couldn't very well say that he used to pass through a garden of flowers without a single leaf sticking to him, could he?

It would corrupt the child!

—

Jiang Fei stayed at the small Supermarket until the afternoon.

“Uncle, you guys go home first, I’ll stay to close up.”

After Jiang Zhengkang and the others left, Jiang Fei went to the storeroom to collect the gold sent by You Yuxi and Mo Yanan.

System: [Ding—Detected gold: 21,540,000 grams]

[Current unlock progress: 70%]

The Supermarket hadn't sold much recently, so there was no need to restock. Jiang Fei took out a single bed from the Supermarket warehouse and placed it next to Xiao Hei's bed.

One was covered with a soft, warm blanket, and the other with a cooling mat.

This way, whether it was cold or hot, Xiao Hei would have a suitable bed to sleep on.

She also took out dog food, dog canned food, and dog treats, refilling its dedicated cabinet.

The toys she had given Xiao Hei before were all chewed beyond recognition, so Jiang Fei replaced them all with new ones.

“Woof!”

Xiao Hei found a pet sausage hidden under the bed, picked it up, and put it in Jiang Fei's hand.

“Is this for me?”

“Woof woof!”

That’s right!

The fierce woman gave it food, toys, and a new bed, so it had to return the favor!

Not wanting to make the little one sad, Jiang Fei ruffled Xiao Hei's head: “Thank you for the gift.”

She would feed it to Xiao Hei later.

Putting away the pet sausage, Jiang Fei closed the door and left the Supermarket.

A few hours earlier, it had been bitterly cold outside, but now the stuffy heat of the morning had returned.

Fortunately, she was wearing a constant temperature shirt and sun protection clothing; otherwise, she really couldn't adapt to the sudden changes in temperature.

Driving back to Fenglin Villa District, and confirming no one was around, Jiang Fei took out a truck.

She loaded it with 100 bags of instant noodles, 100 catties of flour, as well as vegetables, fruits, daily necessities, pre-made dishes, milk, eggs, and other supplies, and drove to Villa No. 8.

Jiang Fei handed the car keys to Jiang Zhengkang: “Xiao Shi's deposit is in the truck bed. You can use the remaining supplies at home.”

“If the food at Yucai Academy isn't good, you can bring meals for Xiao Shi.”

“I won't be seeing Xiao Shi off tomorrow, you take him.”

“After moving the supplies, park the truck in front of my house. Just leave the keys in the driver's seat; you don't need to take them out. Fenglin Villa District is very safe.”

Under the cover of her pocket, Jiang Fei took out two boxes of new enhanced special medicine: “You each take one pill in a bit; it can prevent colds.”

“The other box is for Su Liuyuan and Ling Zhaorui. Please take it to them for me.”

Lu Yu and Xiao Chuxia already had medicine, so there was no need to give them more. Jiang Fei returned home.

She had only been outside for about ten minutes, but her body was already warm and slightly sweating.

Going to the bedroom on the second floor for a shower, Jiang Fei took out scissors and, looking in the mirror, cut her hair short.

In the past, when it was hot, she would tie all her hair up to avoid getting heat rash.

When it was cold, she would let it down to protect her neck.

But now, the temperature was abnormal; you couldn't tell if the next second would be cold or hot.

Tying and untying her hair repeatedly was too much trouble, and she was too lazy to spend time styling it.

Drying her hair once took more than half an hour of standing with a hairdryer.

It was better to cut it short.

After cleaning up the cut hair from the floor, Jiang Fei returned to her room for a nap.

She slept until 8:00 PM, then went out next door, carrying Big Yellow.

The sun was still high in the sky, scorching the earth.

The helicopter, yacht, and jet ski had been in the Supermarket warehouse for so long; it was time to learn how to operate them.

It was also a good chance to take Big Yellow out for some fresh air.

Thinking this, Jiang Fei pressed the doorbell of Villa No. 10.

Soon, the gate opened.

Lu Yu was stunned when he saw Jiang Fei at the door.

The girl's originally waist-length hair was cut to just past her chin, perfectly exposing her fair and slender neck, adding a touch of playfulness to her former coolness.

Her eyes were like a galaxy, like a proud and aloof cat.

Seeing Lu Yu staring at her without a word, Jiang Fei asked in confusion: “What’s wrong?”

“Is there something wrong with my new haircut?”

She had looked in the mirror after cutting it; it was very neat and good.

“No, your short hair looks better than your long hair.”

Lu Yu's sincere compliment made Jiang Fei's lips curl up.

Kind words indeed made one happy.

Jiang Fei didn't forget the main task.

“I came to you to learn how to operate a helicopter, yacht, and jet ski.”

“Come inside.” Lu Yu led Jiang Fei into the villa.

Leaving Big Yellow to play in the living room, Jiang Fei and Lu Yu entered the Supermarket.

They started by learning about yachts and jet skis.

There was no space in the Supermarket to operate a yacht or jet ski, so Lu Yu could only teach Jiang Fei to identify the equipment and tell her how to start them.

Jiang Fei listened while writing in a notebook, to avoid forgetting and having to ask her teammates again.

After confirming that Jiang Fei recognized all the equipment on the yacht and knew how to operate the jet ski, the two used a trailer to pull a small helicopter out of the Supermarket warehouse, preparing for practical instruction.

Jiang Fei also wanted to test the height of the Supermarket space.

Perhaps she could guess how many floors the Supermarket had.

After all, the white fog only existed around the Supermarket building; there was none above other areas.

The helicopter was the one Lu Yu had flown during the last earthquake.

The fuel was sufficient, no need to add more.

Lu Yu got into the main pilot's seat, asking Jiang Fei to sit in the co-pilot's seat to observe how he operated it.

“This is the collective pitch control lever, which controls the helicopter's ascent and descent…” Lu Yu deliberately slowed his speech to allow Jiang Fei to take notes.

As the helicopter slowly ascended to a high altitude, Jiang Fei looked through the porthole at the Supermarket building not far away.

5th floor… 7th floor… Bang—!
