The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

Upon hearing Feng Yi's answer, Xin Yi finally became certain that this world was different from her previous life. The course of history might be similar, but it would never be exactly the same.

"What ice fruit? I've never heard of it!"

Xin Yi put a hand to her forehead, "Frozen fruit is fruit that has been frozen, um... the surface is covered with a layer of ice, that's what frozen fruit is called!"

"Is it really that delicious? I've never heard of it before. Where is it a specialty from?"

Feng Yi pondered seriously, "I feel it's somewhat similar to the frozen pears here in Black City!"

Xin Yi didn't dare to say it was a specialty of Northeast China, but there's hardly any chance of heavy snow in Chongqing, so there's no such thing as frozen fruit.

I could only lie and say, "My grandma used to make these for me when I was little. It was a rare treat in Chongqing, only on the occasion of a heavy snowfall. That's why I miss ice cream so much, and I miss my grandma too!"

Little did she know that a casual remark had stuck with Feng Yi. From then on, every time it snowed, he would personally make ice cream for Xin Yi. This beautiful lie left Xin Yi both amused and exasperated.

After Xin Yi's interruption, Feng Yi almost forgot his purpose. He quickly cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, "Yi Yi, try these dishes first and see if you can taste anything special?"

Xin Yi picked up her chopsticks, tasted the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and savored it carefully. "Mmm, it tastes delicious!"

But I was puzzled. Isn't it just the taste of scrambled eggs with tomatoes?

Then I tried the eggplant fritters. "Hmm, not bad, not greasy at all, and the meat filling inside is very delicious!"

Seeing Feng Yi looking at her expectantly, Xin Yi organized her thoughts.

"Both dishes were made perfectly, very delicious, with just the right amount of salt and oil. It seems your cooking skills are excellent. If any woman marries you in the future, she must have accumulated a great deal of good fortune in her past life!"

Hearing this, Feng Yi's expression gradually became subtle, "Yi Yi!"

"what happened?"

"I want you to be that woman!"

"What? What woman?"

"Didn't you just say that whoever marries me will have accumulated great blessings in their past life? I think that woman should be you!"

"When did I say that? Are you serious?"

Xin Yi originally wanted to crack a joke and get away with it, but looking at the man standing seriously in front of her, Xin Yi thought about it.

"If you're serious, then I'll take it seriously. But if you're just playing around, then please don't mess with me, okay?"

Upon hearing Xin Yi's words, Feng Yi quickly stood at attention, raised one hand, and swore an oath to the Party.

"I, Feng Yi, solemnly swear in the name of the Party that I am willing to elevate my revolutionary friendship with Comrade Xin Yi, to share joys and sorrows for life, to grow old together, and to never abandon her!"

It's impossible for Xin Yi not to be moved by such a handsome man who has been handed over to the country, but given her experience in her previous life, Xin Yi doesn't want to accept a man she's only met a few times so quickly.

After thinking for a moment, he said solemnly, "Comrade Feng, you are really good, good in every way. However, we have only met three times and do not know each other well enough. The love I imagine should be a two-way street."

At least for now, I only have a good impression of you, but it hasn't progressed to love. So, if you're willing to wait, I'll seriously consider this matter.

If you don't want to waste time, we're just friends, and I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said today!

Feng Yi was afraid that Xin Yi would say something else to refuse, so he quickly replied, "I'm willing, I'm willing to wait. You're still young, I know. It's normal that you haven't fallen in love with me yet. After all, marriage is a sacred thing. I'm willing to wait for you, wait for you to grow up, wait for you to fall in love with me, wait for you, and wait for you forever!"

Feng Yi's confession gave Xin Yi a real headache. Wasn't he just talking about dating? About being in a relationship? How did it escalate to marriage? Dude, I'm a little overwhelmed!

He said, "Brother Feng, thank you for giving me time. I believe that if we are really compatible, I will definitely be willing to continue with you. Let's eat first, otherwise the food will get cold, and we still need to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things after we finish eating."

"Oh well!"

Feng Yi obediently sat down, served Xin Yi rice and vegetables, his face meticulous, revealing neither joy nor sorrow, as if the words of confession he had just spoken were not his own.

The feeling of abstinence made Xin Yi's heart pound, and she couldn't help but think to herself that perhaps she should move on from her past life's experiences.

Someone once said that the best way to forget a past relationship is to start a new one.

However, some people say that men fear choosing the wrong career and women fear marrying the wrong man. She should be careful. She is only seventeen years old, which is the prime of her life. She should choose carefully and find someone who truly loves her and treats her well.

Time will tell. If we are meant to be, we will eventually come together.

The two ate something in silence. Xin Yi didn't eat much; she was full after eating half a bowl of rice. In the end, Feng Yi finished everything, including the leftover rice in Xin Yi's bowl.

Thinking of this, Xin Yi felt her cheeks burning. To ease the embarrassment, she said, "Brother Feng, please take your time eating. I'll go pay the bill first!"

A gust of wind swept through, finishing all the food before Xin Yi could stand up.

"Yiyi, no need, I've already paid!"

Xin Yi was in a half-squatting position when she asked, "Oh, have you finished eating too?"

Feng Yi took out two handkerchiefs from his pocket, handed one to Xin Yi, and after Xin Yi took it, she wiped her mouth.

"Okay, we've finished eating. We need to hurry, or we'll have to go shopping tomorrow!"

Xin Yi was surprised by Feng Yi's unexpected move, so she picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped her mouth.

"Then let's go!"

When the two arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, it was already closed.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Feng Yi felt a pang of regret. If he had cooked a little faster, he might have made it in time. An apology was on the tip of his tongue.

Xin Yi noticed the apology on his face and couldn't help but comfort him, "Brother Feng, it's okay if you can't buy it. I'll come tomorrow morning, no rush!"

"Shall I take you back to the guesthouse now?"

Xin Yi thought for a moment. She had already told Aunt Qin and the others that she would go back later. If she didn't go back, they would probably worry. But without a cell phone, it would take too much time.

"Never mind, Brother Feng, please take me to the hospital first. I'll go say hello to Aunt Qin and the others, and then go to the guesthouse!"

"No need for all that trouble. I'll have my sister tell them you can go tomorrow morning. I'll take you to the guesthouse first. You must be tired today, so get some rest!"

Having someone else relay the message saved Xin Yi a lot of trouble, so she agreed to Feng Yi's suggestion, and the two drove towards the county guesthouse.
