Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies-Chapter 401: Temptation Failed
Once they were done discussing, Lu Yin and Dacheng took their leave. As they turned to leave, Dacheng paused and looked at the pretty woman who stood in the kitchen and was talking with one of the survivors.
She was dressed in cargo pants with a tank top, her hair was chopped short, and she was wearing giant hoops in her ears. She looked bold and cute as she helped the survivor grow tomatoes in the small potted plant that was in his hands.
Dacheng looked at the woman for a while. But he didn't make any move to talk to her. Why would he waste his efforts on a woman who would sooner or later be pushed into the palm of his hands anyway?
He was no longer the same man as he was in the past, when he would panic at the smallest thing. Worried about not being able to break through Lei Qian's team, or worried about not being able to find a way to learn Bai Meiyue's skills. He was no longer the poor little country bumpkin who had nowhere to go.
He was now a military officer. As long as he achieved enough credit in the army, he will be able to call the shots in the base. Who would care about whether his power was at the fourth or third level? Dacheng was sure that he was doing the right thing, and he was no longer worried about anything.
With the position and power in his hands, Dacheng was certain that he would be able to get whatever he wanted without facing the troubles that he had gone through with Bai Meiyue's team.
After the two of them stepped out of the apartment, Dacheng turned to look at Lu Yin and asked, "Do you want to go back?"
"No, let's go and take a look at our old friends." Lu Yin's red lips curled up in an intriguing smile. She tugged the woollen jacket that she was wearing and turned to look at the other side of the corridor. She wanted to see how Bai Meiyue was doing and make her look at her.
Did Bai Meiyue think that without her, she wouldn't be able to live a good life? Look, she had the same power and comfort that Bai Meiyue had in her life.
It was the end of January, and the snow outside had gotten stronger and much colder. The temperature had fallen to the point that even Mother Bai was having trouble growing the vegetables and fruits.
She was trying her best to cover the vegetables and plants, but with the constantly fluctuating weather, even Mother Bai couldn't do a lot.
However, their family had enough vegetables and fruits to last for the rest of the winter; thus, Mother Bai didn't care about the growth of the crops in the greenhouse.
"You need to eat more apples," said Mother Bai while looking at her daughter, who was eating nothing but potato chips.
Bai Meiyue was dressed in maternity pants with a loose shirt. And currently, she was lying on the couch like a couch potato. Looking at her sloppy appearance, Mother Bai was simply disgusted. She pushed her daughter off the couch and then said to her, "What's going on with you!? How can you become so lazy, huh? It's as if you have completely let go of yourself."
Bai Meiyue yawned and said to her mother, "Even if I eat like this for two months, I will not gain any weight, Mom." She knew her body too well; after all, her body had been malnourished for years. Thus, even overeating for two months couldn't do any damage to her body.
What was more, even if she somehow gained some weight, she could easily lose it.
Mother Bai's anger fell in a swoop, and she looked at her daughter with a hint of annoyance. Bai Meiyue really knew how to win all the arguments. She was about to say something, but then someone rang the doorbell.
Frowning, Mother Bai turned to look at Bai Meiyue and asked, "Did Ah Qian tell you when he will be returning?"
"No." Bai Meiyue replied as she picked up another piece of apple and bit it. Though she didn't show it on her face, her heart did take a leap. She raised her head and looked at the door. Was it really Lei Qian?
However, Bai Meiyue soon shook off that thought. How could such a thing be possible? Lei Qian just left a few days ago. How could he find his grandfather in just a few days?
If it wasn't Lei Qian, then who was it? Who was ringing the doorbell at this hour?
She got to her feet and walked towards the door. Just as she walked over, Wan Guofu, Yang Chunhua, and the rest also moved. Even though the one who brought the team together was Lei Qian, they took Bai Meiyue as their leader, as she was the one who was holding everything together.
Thus, they respected her very much.
Mo He straightened up in his seat as if he were prepared to attack the person who was outside the door. Beside him, Yun Chuan also looked at the door with a wary look in his eyes. His expression was colder than ice.
Liu Mei stepped out of her room and leaned against the doorframe, while Liu Che simply placed his hands on the railing. With a mask on his face, he stared at the door with a frown on his face.
However, as soon as the door was pulled open, the person who appeared was none other than Lu Yin and Dacheng.
When Yang Chunhua saw Dacheng, her eyes flickered slightly, but other than that, she didn't show any reaction to knowing the man in front of her.
"Miss Bai, long time no see?" Dacheng smiled at Bai Meiyue as his eyes flickered to where Yang Chunhua was standing and he called out, "How are you, Chunhua?"
