What's wrong with being a little arrogant in the apocalypse just to support my wife?

"But Brother Lu, to be honest, sometimes I don't understand your feelings for Jiang Yue. Is it more about possessiveness or liking her? Sometimes I feel like she's more like your possession than someone you care about."

“When Jiang Yue was brainless or not smart enough, there was no problem with your interactions. But now Jiang Yue has gradually regained her senses and is a person.”

"Everyone has their own ideas, but sometimes you might not like it when she has other ideas in her mind."

“Brother Lu, as an outsider, I think that instead of worrying about how Jiang Yue sees you, you should first figure out how you really feel about Jiang Yue and what you want your relationship to be like.”

After uttering all the words that had been bottled up inside him, Xian Wenrui let out a long sigh of relief. However, he then noticed that Lu Yize looked unwell, and he felt a little uncertain about himself.

Fortunately, Lu Yize didn't say anything. He just sat there in deep thought, and only moved his gaze when Jiang Yue came out.

For more than a decade in his previous life, he couldn't understand his feelings for Jiang Yue. It was complicated by too many things: hatred, wariness, pity, and love that he himself dared not admit.

This feeling was amplified on the day Jiang Yue died, and even now, after being reborn, it is suppressed and continues. Lu Yize cannot be frank, and he still cannot directly admit his feelings.

Sheng Xue and Jiang Yue came out together. Sheng Xue tactfully went back to her room. Jiang Yue saw Lu Yize sitting in the same spot, went up and squatted in front of him, looking at him with confusion as he processed his emotions alone.

But she placed her face in his hand in a fawning manner, mimicking how she acted when she had no memory of the past, trying to please the displeased Lu Yize.

Lu Yize should have been pleased with her obedient appearance, but he found that he couldn't feel much happiness. He touched Jiang Yue's face with his fingertips, a feeling of stagnation swirling in his chest.

With a long sigh, Lu Yize pulled her up and held her tightly in his arms, making her sit on his lap.

"Jiang Yue."

Lu Yize avoided Jiang Yue's gaze, "If you have anything to say in the future, just tell me directly."

Although Jiang Yue didn't understand his sudden suggestion, she still nodded in agreement. Lu Yize frowned, feeling dissatisfied, "Just tell me what makes you uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Jiang Yue looked up, puzzled, "You didn't do anything to make me uncomfortable."

Jiang Yue's pupils were very dark, and her eyes held an unwavering determination. She really didn't feel that Lu Yize made her uncomfortable.

Although the communication had fallen into a strange vicious cycle and neither of them made any progress, for some reason, the blockage in Lu Yize's chest was relieved.

See? No wonder he's so controlling. It's all because Jiang Yue spoiled him. If either of them were a normal person, they probably would have broken up long ago.

He held Jiang Yue, whose body was soft and fragrant, in his arms, lost in thought. Jiang Yue cooperated by quietly being held by him.

Jiang Yue didn't say anything, but just looked at his newly grown stubble and reached out to touch it. Lu Yize grabbed her hand, and Lu Yize glanced at Jiang Yue, feeling that he might need to make some changes.

He likes to do ten things but say two, but Jiang Yue doesn't understand. So from now on, he can do ten things but say three.

"Let's go, let's go inside the space and see if the things you planted are ripe."

Lu Yize led Jiang Yue into his supernatural space. Jiang Yue's face showed joy. She really liked the small village where she used to live with Lu Yize.

This small village used to be full of people, but this replica is obviously much quieter. However, the speed inside this space is indeed faster than outside.

It's highly likely related to the excess black crystals he absorbed. Lu Yize estimated that he had absorbed around fifteen grams of black crystals.

Previously, he only knew that his superpower space could evolve along with his superpower, but now it seems that it is more than that. His superpower space can store a large amount of superpower and convert it into the life force needed within the superpower space.

The supernatural space, which was originally bare with only a few bamboo shoots, is now lush and green. The bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest have grown into towering bamboos, and the vegetables planted in the fields are also growing well.

Even the persimmon tree that I remember planting in the yard is a replica of the one that is growing well. The only regret now is that there is only one extremely shallow water source in the space.

Overall, this space is much more comfortable than the post-apocalyptic world outside. For those of them who have lived in the apocalypse for many years, even taking a deep breath of the air here feels refreshing.

Jiang Yue dug up a string of potatoes from the vegetable garden, still covered in mud, but they were quite big. Lu Yize didn't hesitate and used his previously stored fire-type ability to roast the potatoes.

Although they haven't eaten anything stale since entering the apocalypse, there's definitely a difference between eating the same things as before. Now, eating this freshly baked potato makes them feel that there's still meaning to being alive.

The potatoes were still steaming hot, coated with a little salt to enhance the flavor, and the potatoes themselves had a sweet taste.

When Lu Yize ate bamboo shoots before, he didn't notice because he didn't like them. He realized that the vegetables he grew in his space seemed to taste better than ordinary crops.

Perhaps it's because these vegetables contain a small amount of supernatural power?

Unsure, Lu Yize and Jiang Yue picked some more fruit from the space. After tasting a few bites, Lu Yize was certain that these fruits tasted better than ordinary fruits.

"Did you detect any trace of supernatural abilities?" Lu Yize asked the person next to him.

Jiang Yue's level was lower than Lu Yize's, so the feeling was more obvious. She nodded after eating half of the persimmon in her hand, "Yes, this ability can be absorbed directly, but in very small amounts."

Even if you eat up the entire mountain, you still won't be able to advance in cultivation. However, eating these foods should be beneficial for conditioning your body.

After receiving a positive reply, Lu Yize didn't show much joy on his face. He was currently in a situation where it was like a child carrying gold in the street, and it was not advisable to reveal it for the time being.

If it were back when the apocalypse had just broken out in his previous life, he might have been willing to expose what was happening inside the space in order to save more people. However, after experiencing so much, Lu Yize had long lost that spirit of selflessness.

What does it matter to him whether other people live or die?

In his previous life, after he awakened his spatial abilities, most of the base's supplies were stored in his space, and he was even suspected of secretly stealing resources from his space.

Treated as a mobile warehouse from which food can be retrieved at any time, Lu Yize glanced around at the supernatural space that had changed along with his advancement. It was even more valuable than it had been in his previous life. He must be crazy to tell anyone else.

Even the other two people currently in the base, Lu Yize didn't intend to tell them that these things could be given to them to eat, but only in small quantities, and Lu Yize wouldn't reveal the specific source of these things.
