Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
It was almost nine o’clock in the evening when he arrived home. Ye Xingchen got out of the snowmobile and opened the door. After pushing the snowmobile through the door, he touched his starving stomach.
The suburbs were still a little far. Even if there were no red lights along the way, the afternoon was still not enough. Ye Xingchen planned to go there in the morning next time.
When he reached the sixth floor, Ye Xingchen had also changed his clothes.
The few mouthfuls of food he ate at noon did not last long.
When he opened the door to the sixth floor, he saw Lin Sijia holding Little Black in one hand and stroking its fur while watching the videos that Ye Xingchen had left for her.
Hearing the commotion, the woman and the dog turned their heads at the same time.
“You’re back?”
The moment Lin Sijia saw Ye Xingchen, her eyes lit up.
She had only eaten a little at noon. Little Black was already full and she was still waiting for Ye Xingchen to come back for dinner.
“Do you want to take a shower first? Let’s eat first. Wait a moment. The food is still heating up in the pot. I’ll bring it out.”
In an instant, Ye Xingchen suddenly felt that there was nothing bad about having a woman in the house.
“Let’s eat first. Have you eaten?”
Lin Sijia took out plates of stir-fried beef, preserved eggs with chili peppers, beef rolls with enoki mushrooms, and cola chicken wings from the pot.
“Not yet. 1 didn’t know when you would be back, so I thought I’d wait for you to eat together.”
Ye Xingchen bent down and picked up Little Black from the sofa. There was still the smell of shower gel on his body. Lin Sijia must have given him another bath today.
Sitting in front of the dining table, Ye Xingchen pinched Little Black’s leg.
When Little Black came, he was so skinny that his four legs were barely fleshy. Now that he had recovered some, he looked much more energetic.
“Do you want to go out and play?”
Lin Sijia brought out the dishes and sat beside Ye Xingchen after scooping the rice. “Do you want to take Little Black outside?”
Lin Sijia handed over a pair of chopsticks and glanced at Little Black. “You can go out. Today, I checked the previous injuries on Little Black’s body. It’s almost healed. Oh right, you asked me to see if Little Black is a male dog or a female dog. I checked today, he’s a male dog.”
After a mouthful of spicy peppers and preserved egg, Ye Xingchen took two big mouthfuls of rice. His stomach, which had been empty for a long time, finally felt a trace of warmth.
“Yes, we can’t let him stay at home and eat idly. He has to contribute something, right?”
“A male dog? Uh… Do you know how to do neutering? Should we find a time to neuter Little Black? Otherwise, what could we do when Little Black is in heat in the spring? We would not be able to find a female dog these days.”
Lin Sijia blushed and glared at Ye Xingchen. “Eat, eat. Little Black is still here. What are you talking about? Let’s wait until spring. Little Black is fine now.”
The meal passed very quickly. After the meal, Ye Xingchen brought Little Black upstairs.
Originally, Ye Xingchen had only picked up Little Black on a whim, thinking that it would be a pity for such a loyal pet to die.
However, he later found out that Little Black was just a stray dog, but it was indeed quite obedient and sensible. Ye Xingchen only needed to feed him two meals a day and then not much else.
However, Ye Xingchen had stuffed so many cars into his space today. On his way back, he suddenly thought of a problem.
He had gotten so many cars. Now, he could only travel in the snow with snowmobiles. In that case, the diesel and gasoline stored in his space might not be enough.
After all, when he was storing things, he was thinking about how to hide at home. He did not think about going out at all.
Now that he could leave the house, he had to consider fuel consumption.
Ye Xingchen had to find those gas stations before the others had transportation and then transport the gas away.
Otherwise, when everyone had tools in the future and needed gasoline and diesel, he might not be able to snatch them away.
However, how could he get diesel and gasoline… Ye Xingchen thought about it and finally set his sights on gas stations.
There was only one problem. Gas stations were usually only one or two stories high. Now that the snow was as high as three stories, he could not find a gas station at all.
At this moment, Ye Xingchen thought of Little Black, who had been raised by them for a few days.
“It’s time for you to contribute.”
Ye Xingchen placed Little Black on a stool at the side and pinched his dog paw.
“I’ll take you out for a walk tomorrow?”
Little Black whimpered and rubbed itself against Ye Xingchen’s leg to show its agreement.
It was a peaceful night. There were no troublemakers because of the lack of food. After all, some people had broken in last night, and several of them had received rewards.
After a night without dreams, Ye Xingchen washed up and went downstairs in the morning. It was still dark outside. Ye Xingchen looked at his phone and saw that it was only four in the morning.
Ye Xingchen took out a fastfood meal from his space and took a bite of the greasy burger. After a full meal, Ye Xingchen originally wanted to prepare a set for Lin Sijia, but after thinking about it, there was still a long time before Lin Sijia woke up. If he had taken them out now, the burger, fries, and fried codfish would have been cold by the time she woke up, and it wouldn’t taste good anymore.
After thinking for a while, Ye Xingchen sent a message to Lin Sijia: I’m going out. Eat something in the morning. 1 won’t come back for lunch. 1’11 be back for dinner.
Little Black was still chewing on the leftover dog food from yesterday in his dog bowl. Ye Xingchen poured a bottle of milk into Little Black’s bowl.
“Hurry up and eat. After eating, well be on our way.”
Little Black was stunned, and his mouth which was full of dog food stopped moving.
“Hurry up and get ready to go out. There won’t be much to eat at noon. If we come back early, we can have a hot meal.”
At five o’clock in the morning, Ye Xingchen put Little Black into an empty backpack, put a few thick scarves and a down jacket on Little Black, and carried Little Black on his back.
The snowmobile was pushed out of the door. Ye Xingchen had learned his lesson this time. He found a silencing device in the space and installed it on the snowmobile.
Sigh, although Ye Xingchen was not afraid of trouble, he was going out. He was more or less afraid of attracting too much attention and causing trouble.
Even though he was already equipped with a full-body bulletproof suit and a stab-resistant suit, Ye Xingchen did not want to consume too much ammunition!
Their destination was clear. Ye Xingchen carried Little Black and rushed to the suburbs!
This time, Ye Xingchen’s idea was very simple. He needed gasoline and diesel. He still didn’t have enough gasoline and diesel on hand, so he needed more.
The heavy snow had buried all the gas stations in the city. Ye Xingchen could only follow his memory to find the approximate location of the gas station..
