Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies

Chapter 56: Intellectual Mini Game

“Fighting to the point of messing up meal times, isn’t that idiotic?”

Lin Murong didn’t dare say this out loud, instead, he could only grumble silently in his heart.

After watching the play complete, Lin Murong moved over to Su Yinhe’s side and watched her play games.

As he watched, he began to give directions.

“Left side, left side, right side, not that way. To the right, to the right, go right!” Lin Murong wished he could jump in and take over.

Little Galaxy was so young, yet her fingers were so uncoordinated.

“You want to say that again?” Su Yinhe, annoyed to no end, looked up at him, her gaze deadly.

She had no interest in playing to begin with, she was just putting on an act earlier, casually playing while actually keeping an ear on the noise from the other side.

And now, Lin Murong comes over to direct her?

“I… won’t say anymore.” Lin Murong didn’t expect her to get angry and shrank his neck timidly, not daring to speak.

“Hmph. Am I playing or are you playing? It’s ruining the whole experience of the game,” Su Yinhe said, tapping him with the tablet.

“I want to play too.” Lin Murong, who had just promised to be silent, felt even more wronged after hearing this; he wanted to play as well.

This was a game, after all, how long had it been since he last played?

Back when he was in school, his dad would seize his phone or computer every day, citing the distraction they caused to his studies. He thought he’d be free once in university, but no—the apocalypse struck before he even finished high school.

Chi Yan did have a phone, but he only used it to listen to music. No games downloaded.

He didn’t even have the chance to play games.

Su Yinhe: “…”

Su Yinhe, seeing his sorry state, felt a pang of sympathy.

“Alright, you can play for a bit,” Su Yinhe said, patting his shoulder. Silly kid.

She handed him the tablet and threatened that he could only play on this interface and nothing else. If he did otherwise, he could forget about coming to her for meals.

“Okay, okay, okay,” Lin Murong nodded frantically, clutching the tablet tightly.

Su Yinhe: “…” Su Yinhe felt uneasy and snatched it back.

She changed her mind; the tablet had too many secrets and wasn’t suitable.

“Little Galaxy.” Lin Murong didn’t expect Su Yinhe to take it back, and he was heartbroken. How could she do this?

“Cough. Wait a moment, I’ll give you my spare phone.” The tablet was off-limits due to many secrets, and the phone even more so, with even greater secrets.

The phone was something she would climb up to format even if a car sent her flying ten meters away.

The spare phone it was then; it only had a few photos in it.

Lin Murong just wanted to play a game, and either a tablet or a spare phone would do.

After receiving the spare phone, Lin Murong became engrossed in a puzzle game.

When Chi Yan called him back to the cave, he didn’t want to go.

“Brother Chi, you go ahead, I want to play a bit more.”

Chi Yan: “…”

Chi Yan’s voice grew colder: “Are you coming or not?”

“Just a moment, just a moment, right away,” Lin Murong said, deeply absorbed in the game.

How was he supposed to get past this level? What was he overlooking? It seemed like the best route, but why couldn’t he make it through?

“You don’t have to come back tonight,” Chi Yan waited for a while longer, then decided not to wait any further.

He wasn’t a very patient person to begin with, and he had already given Lin Murong plenty of leeway.

Any more would be too much.

After taking a few steps, Chi Yan turned to Su Yinhe, “Throw him out when you close up for the night.”

He could skip coming back but he couldn’t stay in the supermarket overnight.

It was the first thing he said to her after his earlier remark; Su Yinhe paused her finger on the screen and nodded.

Chi Yan looked at her fluffy head, the palm of his hand suddenly itching.

After Chi Yan left, Su Yinhe looked over at Lin Murong still lost in his puzzle game, felt a bit frustrated, and simply let him walk away with the phone.

Qin Mingzhou was the last to leave, putting on a show of misery, complaining that Chi Yan had beaten him until his legs turned purple.

Su Yinhe felt guilty as soon as she heard Chi Yan’s name, and quickly sent him away as well.

Then, after seeing off the last customer in the supermarket, she closed the door, went upstairs, washed up, and went to bed.

Once in bed, the words of Chi Yan came to her again, and she couldn’t feel the slightest bit sleepy; the more she thought about it, the more awake she felt.

She rolled from one end of the bed to the other.

Her heart felt a bit chaotic.

After some thought, Su Yinhe picked one of the top ten most torturous novels from the year’s online selections and started reading it.

As she read on, her heart calmed down.

And then, she grew tired and fell asleep.

She then had a dream about Chi Yan.

She couldn’t remember the specifics of the dream. But she recalled Chi Yan giving her a massage in a suit, and as he did, she began to talk dirty and harass him.

She couldn’t remember what kind of dirty talk it was, just that it was indecent.

When Su Yinhe woke up, she was drenched in sweat and buried herself in the blankets.

She stayed buried for a while before slowly getting up to brush her teeth and wash her face.

After washing her face, she felt sticky all over again, so she took another shower.

After her shower, she sat on the bed, wondering if she would be killed if she told them today that she was not up for the hotpot.

It was strange to invite people over right after having a dream about them.

Although she was reluctant, backing out of a commitment last minute didn’t seem right.

So Su Yinhe still took them up to the fifth floor and into her home.

This was their first visit to Su Yinhe’s place, and all three seemed a bit excited and nervous. They had changed into their best clothes and even brought gifts.

Coincidentally, all three were dressed in suits.

Especially Chi Yan, who looked exactly like he did in her dream.

Su Yinhe: “…”

She pinched herself, confirming it wasn’t a dream.

This was even more horrifying.

“It’s been so long, and there are still suits around.” She understood Chi Yan having one, he had space. But where did the other two get theirs?

“When Brother Chi and I went out to fight zombies, we came across a suit shop and cleared it out.”

Hearing this, Su Yinhe gave them a strange look.

They were fighting just yesterday, and today he’s giving suits to Qin Mingzhou?

“Here, here, a gift from your brother.” Qin Mingzhou was wearing a flamboyant red suit and held a gift box in his hands.

It looked like the gift box was also given by Chi Yan. Such superfluous items were not produced anymore.

The atmosphere between the two wasn’t as explosive as yesterday’s. Today, they had Lin Murong between them, which seemed harmonious.

So she wondered what had happened while she wasn’t looking.

Snatching the opportunity to give his gift first, Lin Murong glared fiercely at Qin Mingzhou. They had agreed to give their gifts together and yet he had jumped the gun?

It must have been deliberate.

Chi Yan didn’t do anything, his expression just turned colder, and the look he gave Qin Mingzhou shifted from indifferent at the start to one that was sharp as knives.

“Little Galaxy, for you.” Lin Murong, holding a gift box, pushed past Qin Mingzhou.

“Thank you,” Su Yinhe said politely after accepting the gift.

Then the two who had completed their gift-giving turned to look at Chi Yan.

Chi Yan’s hands were empty, signaling no intention of giving anything.

After they went in, they started preparing the vegetables needed for the hotpot.

Lin Murong took care of washing the vegetables, Qin Mingzhou was peeling potatoes, and Chi Yan leaned against the kitchen door, showing no intention of helping.

Having told them to get to work while she rested, Su Yinhe stayed in the living room, waiting.
