He Xing, who had been rejected, was not unhappy at all. He was still smiling foolishly. “Then you should go and rest today. I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow. What time do you usually wake up? Can we have dinner at nine tomorrow night?”

Du Yue wanted to say no, but when she saw He Xing’s sincere look, she swallowed her words. “You’ve done me such a big favor, so, of course, I have to treat you to a meal. We’ll be neighbors in the future, so we’ll be seeing each other more often!”

Hearing this, Du Yue could not refuse. She smiled and nodded. “Okay, see you tomorrow!”

Du Yue nodded. “I’ll go back first, then.” Without waiting for a reply, she turned around and went back into her house. After closing the door, Du Yue sighed helplessly. The apocalypse had arrived, and the world had lost its order. People’s hearts were fickle, and one should not trust anyone. He Xing, on the other hand, was like a brainless giraffe that had stupidly barged into her own world. Other than smiling foolishly at her, he would chat non-stop with her.

She should find such a talkative person annoying, but she did not. She suddenly felt that in this quiet and lonely world, it would be quite lively to have someone by her side. However, she was not sure if He Xing was truly innocent or had just hidden his thoughts well. Thus, she was still on guard.

!!

Therefore, even though she agreed to the other party’s invitation, she did not intend to get close to him so quickly. “I’ll just treat it as a meal with my new neighbor,” she told herself.

As she thought about it, she took off her clothes and walked to the bathroom. She went over to the bathtub, walked in, and submerged herself in the water. The water in the tub was at room temperature, neither too hot nor too cold. It was just right for a bath. As Du Yue enjoyed the feeling of relaxation in the water, she thought about what she would eat later.

She had not eaten for half a day. Now that she had some free time, her stomach was already growling.

After taking a shower, Du Yue took out a towel specially meant for drying hair and tied her hair into a bun. Then, she walked back to the bedroom unhurriedly. After entering the bedroom and closing the door, she first turned on the two air conditioners. When she felt the cool wind blowing, she was ready to take out food from the space.

When one was particularly hungry, one would prefer to eat something with stronger flavors. Du Yue took out a plate of boiled meat slices, a plate of hot soup, and a bowl of rice. As she watched a show, she chewed and swallowed the food slowly, not wasting a single bit of it. After the meal, Du Yue closed her eyes and began to look through the supplies in her interspace. She glanced at the other things and ignored them. She only focused on the cooked food.

In the past six months, almost no one in the base had cooked. Du Yue was worried that the fragrance of the food would attract the attention of others and bring unnecessary trouble to herself, so she never turned on the fire. She usually ate the cooked food that she had prepared beforehand. In the past six months, she had already eaten a quarter of the cooked food she prepared. Although there was still quite a lot left, she still felt that it was not enough.

Now that the rent problem had been solved, Du Yue did not have anything urgent to deal with. She planned to stay at home as much as possible from now on and clean up the kitchen as soon as possible. In the future, she would try to cook. After a busy day, coupled with the satisfaction of eating and drinking, Du Yue suddenly felt tired and sleepy.

In a half-awake state, Du Yue felt that the flooring on the ground was too hard. She closed her eyes and climbed into bed. She wrapped her legs around the thin quilt and continued to sleep. When Du Yue woke up, it was already five in the afternoon. Du Yue had forgotten the exact time she fell asleep, but by her estimation, she had slept for at least 10 hours.

After a simple washing up, Du Yue originally planned to find something to eat before starting her training. When she took the instant noodles out of her interspace, she suddenly remembered that she had promised He Xing yesterday that she would have dinner with him tonight.

Du Yue placed the instant noodles on the coffee table again and went straight to another bedroom. She took out her fitness equipment and began the day’s training as usual.

She trained silently for two and a half hours before she put away her fitness equipment. She turned around and went to the bathroom to take a shower and change into a set of clean clothes. Du Yue had just changed her clothes and walked out of the bathroom. She had not even dried her hair when she heard a knock on the door.
