37: Lu Yu doesn’t want Da Huang anymore?

Under the cover of her backpack, Jiang Fei took out a few hot dogs from the Supermarket and distributed them to Lu Yu and the other two.

Then, in front of Li Yanping and Jiang Zixuan, Jiang Fei tore open the hot dog packaging and took a bite: "So delicious."

Xiao Chuxia and Ling Zhaorui instantly understood Jiang Fei's meaning and, imitating her, began to eat, deliberately making exaggerated expressions.

"Wow, the corn in the hot dog is so sweet."

"It's such a blessing to be able to eat hot dogs now, unlike some people who want to eat but can't."

Lu Yu really couldn't make such an appreciative expression, so he simply ate in silence.

He was handsome and elegant in his posture, as if he were holding a knife and fork, enjoying a five-star meal, which made it even more tantalizing.

For Li Yanping, who had been gnawing on compressed biscuits every day, this was undoubtedly torture.

Especially since the corn hot dogs smelled so good.

Li Yanping swallowed her saliva, her teeth grinding: "All of you, get out!"

What's the big deal?!

When the disaster is over, she'll go eat roasted chicken and steak! Hot dogs are nothing!

Jiang Zixuan's face was also extremely unpleasant.

Jiang Fei pretended not to hear Li Yanping and continued to eat her hot dog unhurriedly.

I just love the way you can't stand me, but you can't do anything about it.

It wasn't until they finished eating that Jiang Fei and the others leisurely departed.

As Xiao Chuxia passed Li Yanping, she deliberately shook a hot dog wrapper: "Smells good, doesn't it?"

"You can't have any!"

Making a face, Xiao Chuxia then went to catch up with Jiang Fei.

Li Yanping, left on the spot, was so angry her blood pressure rose, and she stumbled, grabbing onto Jiang Zixuan: "No, I'm dizzy..."

These little bitches are too infuriating!

—

Having vented her anger, Xiao Chuxia felt relieved: "Miss, you didn't see Li Yanping's expression just now, her eyes were practically spitting fire."

"Let her keep scolding you and bothering you; she'll die of envy!"

Ling Zhaorui, on the nearby rubber dinghy, asked curiously: "Sister Jiang, is Li Yanping really your aunt?

"I feel like she's not affectionate towards you at all, as if she sees you as an enemy."

Ling Zhaorui rarely went out and didn't know about the conflict between Jiang Fei and Li Yanping's family.

Fearing she would bring up Jiang Fei's painful past, Xiao Chuxia gave Ling Zhaorui a look, telling him not to ask any more questions.

Realizing he had said the wrong thing, Ling Zhaorui's mind raced, thinking about how to change the subject, when Jiang Fei spoke.

"My mother used to be in business, and Li Yanping wanted her to bring Jiang Zhengkang along to make money and get rich, but my mother didn't agree."

"Jiang Zhengkang is weak-willed and not daring, and he has no talent for business. Bringing him into business would only harm him."

"Li Yanping resented my family because of this, which is why she always disliked me."

"Later, my mother passed away, and my father ran off with his mistress. Li Yanping wanted to get the inheritance my mother left me, so she took me back to her home and became my guardian."

Jiang Fei explained briefly, her tone calm.

Xiao Chuxia and Ling Zhaorui looked at her with heartache.

Lu Yu also turned to look at Jiang Fei.

Even if Jiang Fei didn't say it, they could guess how Li Yanping, with her shrewish and unreasonable personality, would have abused her.

Xiao Chuxia fumbled in her pocket for a fruit candy and placed it in Jiang Fei's hand.

Ling Zhaorui, meanwhile, secretly made a resolution—

He would beat Li Yanping every time he saw her from now on! To get revenge for Sister Jiang!

And Lu Yu thought about what excuse he could find to let Big Yellow out to play with the neighbor.

Rather than rely on pale, powerless words, the three chose to comfort Jiang Fei in their own ways.

As dusk approached, Jiang Fei and the others returned to Yulan Garden.

The floor-to-ceiling windows in the middle of the second floor were still crowded with survivors.

Jiang Fei and Lu Yu put away their rubber dinghies and were about to go upstairs when they were stopped by a man in an orange life jacket.

"I'm Lin Bo, a community grid manager. Too many people are going to Central Square right now, and the first group hasn't returned yet. Can I borrow your rubber dinghies?"

As he asked, Lin Bo's hand was already extended, reaching for the rubber dinghies.

Jiang Fei avoided his hand: "No."

Water transportation tools were a scarce resource now.

Once they started lending them out, not only would there be disputes over who was responsible if the items were damaged, but others would also constantly come asking, disturbing the peace of the 22nd floor.

Seeing Jiang Fei refuse, Lin Bo's hand, suspended in mid-air, became awkward, and he couldn't help but resort to moral blackmail: "You four people using two rubber dinghies is a waste. Why won't you lend them to those in need?"

"Everyone here is waiting to collect supplies and have a full meal. Can you bear to see them starving and soaked in the water?"

Jiang Fei retorted impolitely: "What does that have to do with us?"

"These are our personal belongings. Whether we lend them or not is our right. If you want to morally blackmail me, then I'm sorry, I have everything but morals."

Lin Bo's face was livid. Just then, another woman in a life jacket walked over.

"Lin Bo, why are you slacking off here again?"

"I'm not!" Lin Bo argued, then added: "I only came over here because I saw they had rubber dinghies, but they wouldn't lend them to me and coldly watched the residents suffer. They're utterly heartless."

Feng Chenlu was helpless: "They're their own things. If they don't want to lend them, they don't have to. What does that have to do with being heartless?"

"My walkie-talkie just rang. It said the first group who went out broke their rubber dinghies. Hurry and come back with me to prepare for the new rubber dinghies that are arriving."

Lin Bo walked away reluctantly.

He had remembered these people anyway. They had made him lose face in public; he hoped he would find an opportunity for revenge!

With no one blocking their way, Jiang Fei and the others successfully went upstairs.

Jiang Fei: "Check your clothes for any bugs or mosquito eggs before taking off your protective suits and entering the house."

Xiao Chuxia and the other two did as instructed.

After confirming there were no bugs or mosquito eggs and disinfecting the protective suits, Jiang Fei returned to 2202.

The first thing she did was take out a knee-high wooden tub, fill it with water, and put in a heating rod. Just as she was about to soak her feet, she suddenly heard a faint meow.

Jiang Fei followed the sound and opened the door.

Big Yellow skillfully climbed onto Jiang Fei's leg: "Meow!"

My owner kicked me out of the house!

He doesn't want me anymore!

"How did you get out?"

Jiang Fei, who didn't understand cat language, held Big Yellow in her arms. Just as she was about to return the cat, she paused.

I'll pet him enough first!

Jiang Fei thoroughly kneaded Big Yellow's chubby cheeks.

It wasn't until Big Yellow was so comfortable he was almost asleep that Jiang Fei reluctantly withdrew her hand and went to 2203.

Knock knock knock—

The door opened.

Lu Yu naturally showed surprise: "When did Big Yellow run out?"

"I don't know. He was meowing at my door just now, and that's when I found him." Jiang Fei returned the cat to Lu Yu.

"Thank you for today. Otherwise, Big Yellow would have been in danger if he ran downstairs."

As if remembering something, Lu Yu went back into his room and brought out a plate.

Inside were two instant eggs and ready-to-eat ham slices, arranged in a shape that resembled a smiley face.

"I found these at the media company last time. I prepared too much tonight, so I'm giving you some."

Jiang Fei habitually wanted to refuse, but remembering Lu Yu's previous words, she reached out and accepted: "Then I'll return the plate tomorrow."

"No rush."

After watching Jiang Fei go home, Lu Yu also closed the door, stroking Big Yellow in his arms, and murmured to himself:

"I don't think the neighbor noticed that it was a smiley face."

His neighbor had helped him a lot and was now his teammate.

By all accounts, he should show his appreciation when his neighbor was feeling down.

But he wasn't very good at doing such things.

Big Yellow didn't understand Lu Yu's thoughts; his big eyes were full of confusion.

Didn't his owner not want him anymore?

Why did he bring him back???

It turned out that Lu Yu's arrangement was so ugly that Jiang Fei not only didn't notice it was a smiley face, but she also washed the plate after eating.
