Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

“We’re not that close. You can just call me Mr. Ye.”

Ye Jingmo's eyes were cold, his face showing indifference and resistance towards Liu Xueyi.

Liu Xueyi's eyes reddened, tears welled in the corners, and she said in a choked voice:

"Mr. Ye, what have I done to make you hate me so much?"

Ye Jingmo ignored Liu Xueyi's words and strode past her.

"hiss"

Liu Xueyi winced in pain; her sharp nails had scratched her palm from the force of her grip.

Under the bright lights, the gloom in Liu Xueyi's eyes spread like a black mist.

Since I can't have this man, I won't let any other woman wait for him.

Liu Xueyi's parents always fulfilled her wishes since she was a child.

This fostered her relentless determination to achieve her goals.

Thinking of her parents who disagreed with her becoming an online influencer, Liu Xueyi's lips curled into a cold smile.

Then go down and keep her parents company.

Ye Jingmo took off his shoes and went back into the house, taking the things out of the bag.

Quickly spray with alcohol for disinfection, since it's important to prevent bacteria and viruses from entering the environment.

If I get sick now, I might be half dead by the time I get to the hospital.

"Did anything unexpected happen?"

Jiang Li looked at Ye Jingmo's expression and felt that something was wrong.

"It's nothing, but there's something I'm afraid we need to be careful about."

Ye Jingmo changed into casual clothes and looked out the window at the electrical distribution box downstairs.

Jiang Li followed Ye Jingmo's gaze and instantly realized that she had the same idea as Ye Jingmo.

“停电？”

"Yes, circuits corroded by acid rain may not cause immediate problems, but they will definitely break down one day."

When Ye Jingmo went downstairs to collect the supplies, he made a point of checking the first floor.

The outer casing of the electrical distribution box had become visibly thinner in the rain, and the plastic of the wires had also been corroded.

Ye Jingmo predicted that the circuit would definitely not be able to hold up for at least three to five days.

If there is no water or electricity, the people living in the city will definitely cause a huge uproar.

The social environment, which is temporarily stable in terms of the distribution of supplies, may soon descend into chaos again.

Jiang Li decided to take advantage of the electricity to store more food.

Jiang Li took out flour from her spatial storage, preparing to make some pancakes, steamed buns, and dumplings, so that she could take them out whenever she wanted to eat.

Ye Jingmo rolled up his sleeves and helped Jiang Li knead the dough; kneading dough is also a skill.

However, Ye Jingmo has lived with his grandmother since he was a child, and he is very proficient in these skills.

On the contrary, Jiang Li encountered obstacles.

Looking at the dough that was stuck tightly to her fingers and she couldn't shake it off, Jiang Li looked at Ye Jingmo with pleading eyes.

She was pampered by her parents when she was a child and never did any housework. After her parents passed away, Ye Jingmo pampered her and never let her do these things.

In the previous life, during the apocalypse, natural disasters were severe, and Jiang Li did not have the ability to obtain flour to make such luxurious things as pancakes and steamed buns.

Back then, having a simple rice bran cake to eat was something many people envied.

Ye Jingmo shook a handful of flour out of the bag, repeated this twice, and then said to Jiang Li:

"Now knead it vigorously to absorb the flour."

Jiang Li applied force with her hands, and soon the dough lumps turned into shiny and soft dough balls.

Jiang Li felt a great sense of accomplishment. She pressed her finger into the dough, and a dent immediately appeared.

Ye Jingmo divided the dough into small portions, rolled them into long strips with his hands, and pressed them down with a spatula, creating neat little dough balls.

Jiang Li took out some pork, chives and eggs from her space, mixed them into fillings, and made meat filling and chive and egg filling respectively.

The pancakes are filled with these two kinds of fillings and smell wonderful as soon as they come out of the pan.

After the steamed buns had fermented for a while, Ye Jingmo kneaded them to remove the carbon dioxide and then divided them into small pieces.

Once steamed, plump and fluffy steamed buns appear.

Jiang Li couldn't resist the temptation, picked one up and took a bite. The soft texture was amazing.

After a busy afternoon, Jiang Li's space was filled with pancakes, steamed buns, dumplings and other wheat-based foods.

When they finished, Jiang Li found that her and Ye Jingmo's clothes were soaked through, like snow.

At the same time, she felt sticky all over and desperately needed a hot bath.

Jiang Li took out a large red bucket from her spatial storage, boiled a bucket of hot water, and then added cold water.

Stepping out of the bathroom, Jiang Li's damp hair was soaking through the towel, and her clothes were also slightly wet.

"Brother Mo, the boiled water is ready in the bathroom. You should go wash up too."

Jiang Li rubbed her wet hair and turned to Ye Jingmo.

Ye Jingmo went into the bathroom, and Jiang Li took out a hairdryer and dried her wet hair.

Jiang Li's hair is black and shiny, and the amount of hair is also extremely enviable.

However, this is not good for Jiang Li, because she takes twice as long to dry her hair as others, otherwise it will not dry easily.

Suddenly, a large hand took Jiang Li's hair dryer away, while another hand lifted Jiang Li's hair, controlling the distance of the blower to avoid hurting her.

Jiang Li didn't need to turn around to know that Ye Jingmo was behind her, so she left the task of drying her hair to Ye Jingmo.

Anyway, Ye Jingmo has blow-dried her hair countless times since she was a child.

The main reason is that once when Jiang Li was a child, she was too lazy to move and wanted her hair to air dry naturally. As a result, she caught a cold that day and it took her a long time to recover.

From then on, whenever Ye Jingmo saw Jiang Li washing her hair, he would take over the task of drying it for her.

To prevent her from cutting corners and going to bed with wet hair.

"Brother Mo, do you think we won't be able to go back to the villa area if the acid rain keeps going?"

Jiang Li originally wanted to chat with Ye Jingmo, but somehow this topic came to mind.

The thought that she might not be able to live in the safe house she had spent so much money on made Jiang Li feel heartbroken.

"If we can't go back, we'll find a place to rebuild."

Ye Jingmo said while drying Jiang Li's hair.

He didn't care at all that he couldn't go back; as long as he could be with Jiang Li, anywhere was a safe haven.

What he's most grateful for now is that he didn't leave Jiang Li alone in the villa area.

Ye Jingmo's eyes deepened. He realized he still underestimated the apocalypse and needed to be more careful in the future.

"That's true. There are still plenty of materials in the space, so there's no fear of building a house as sturdy as the one in the villa area."

Jiang Li found Ye Jingmo's words very reasonable. As long as the two of them were there, why would they have to worry about not having a secure place to live?

Wang ~

Pudding, who had been largely unnoticed today, chimed in, her round eyes fixed on Jiang Li.

This dog is with its owner too.

Jiang Li chuckled as she stroked its head, truly believing that Pudding was a gluttonous little dog.

"Do you know that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was forbidden for beings to become spirits?"

Pudding blinked its innocent eyes, as if to say, "I don't understand what you're saying."

Jiang Li's lips twitched. "Brother Mo, if Pudding becomes sentient, won't it get dissected?"

"No," Ye Jingmo said without any emotion, but his eyes were filled with a strange look. "They'll just be eaten to replenish their bodies."

Pudding was so startled that she buried her head in Jiang Li's arms.

Woohoo~

That wicked owner is threatening the dog! Owner, you need to do something about it!
