Chapter 475: Chapter 139: It Looks Like You’re in Big Trouble_3

"It really might be."

Lin Fan went upstairs with Yan Nini, handed Mengmeng over to Sister Li, then they both headed downstairs, laughing and chatting without the awkwardness one might expect.

The elder Wang and the others were exercising, and they all smiled when they saw this scene.

Lin Fan greeted the elders.

He then saw Gu Hang moving the cooked porridge to the vehicle.

"Brother Hang, need any help?"

Gu Hang replied, "Nothing much, just a bucket of porridge. Oh, by the way, could you help me get the bread from Xiaoxiao’s place?"

"Sure."

All these items were to be delivered to the members of Teng Huang Pharmaceutical.

As they were busy working, naturally, it was important not to be stingy with food.

"Xiaoxiao, is the bread ready?" asked Lin Fan.

The fragrance of cakes from Su Xiaoxiao’s shop was quite strong, enough to whet one’s appetite.

"Yes, it’s ready."

Busy noises came from the shop.

Su Xiaoxiao came out carrying two large bags, "Brother Lin, the bread is all here, forty pieces in total. I’m not sure if that’s enough."

"It should be enough."

The base had only about a dozen members; forty pieces of bread and a bucket of porridge would definitely suffice.

Yan Nini followed Lin Fan closely, "Brother Lin, may I come with you to deliver these?"

"Aren’t you going to run?"

"I’ll skip it for now; I want to check it out."

"That’s fine."

Delivering food was usually done by Lin Fan and Gu Hang, and now adding Yan Nini to the mix was no issue. Staying in the shelter for too long, it was normal to want to go out and see the world.

As they prepared to leave in the vehicle, Lin Fan addressed Elder Wang,

"Elder Wang, please tell Sister Li to prepare a more lavish lunch today, with more fish and shrimp."

Elder Wang laughed, "Sure, no problem."

As the vehicle left.

Elder Zhou exclaimed, "Xiao Fan really knows how to treat guests."

Elder Wang rolled his eyes, "What do you know? Is that really the reason? It’s because of Xiao Fan’s high awareness; he’d rather eat simply himself and provide a substantial lunch for those experts."

Elder Zhou smiled, "Ah, that’s truly admirable."

"It definitely is. Xiao Fan understands his duties and is highly conscientious. Otherwise, do you think we could spend our days this leisurely, just eating and drinking without a care, like slackers?"

"Brother Wang, that’s not a very nice way to put it."

"Unpleasant as it may be, it’s the truth."

Elder Zhou felt like strangling Elder Wang; speaking in such a way that not only did it sound unpleasant — it made it sound like they were all wasteful.

That was really frustrating.

...

On the street.

The vehicle moved slowly.

Yan Nini gazed out of the window, lost in thoughts of former glory. No longer the beauty and dance vlogger, extolled in short videos, she was now a pitiful survivor in the post-apocalyptic world.

As she contemplated her various experiences, she felt fortunate.

Looking at Lin Fan’s profile, her eyes filled with gratitude; he was the one who had rescued her from dire circumstances. Every woman harbored a fantasy for heroes. Though riding on a magic cloud was a fantasy, with continued contact, she felt Lin Fan could actually make it happen.

Survivors in the post-apocalyptic world were few; the population had diminished to the lowest point in history.

When chatting casually with the group, someone mentioned that to ensure the continuation of civilization in the future, contributions had to be made, like previously only wanting one child, now having three wouldn’t seem excessive.

For her, still a young woman, this topic seemed a bit too far-off.

But she also thought, if it were to contribute to the continuation of civilization, she definitely wanted it to be with Lin Fan.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Lin Fan met Yan Nini’s gaze curiously, touched his face to see if there was anything dirty, but feeling nothing, he felt a bit puzzled.

Yan Nini averted her gaze, "Oh, it’s nothing."

Gu Hang, who was driving, chuckled. He could tell right away that Yan Nini had feelings for Lin Fan, but Lin Fan seemed a bit slow on the uptake. Honestly, anyone with an appreciation for beauty would be thrilled if a beautiful woman showed interest.

But he was also a bit troubled now.

Yang Hui’s reliance and advances left him quite at a loss; he had told Yang Hui that her feelings towards him were not love, but reliance, a kind of protection and companionship when she was most helpless, which made her feel warm and supported.

Although he had explained that, Yang Hui never really took it to heart.

This really put Gu Hang in a difficult position.

All he could do was leave early and return late to avoid her as much as possible.

He had considered living apart from Yang Hui, but thinking about how it might affect her emotions negatively, he decided against it.

He could tell that Yang Hui was a bit depressed, perhaps because of the emotional swings from being abandoned during pregnancy.

"Yan Nini."

"Hmm? Brother Hang?"

"If you have time later on, maybe you could chat with Yang Hui."

"Oh, sure."

As a woman, Yan Nini could clearly perceive that Yang Hui’s gazes towards Hang were filled with affection, but Hang responded coldly, always avoiding such looks.

She felt she understood something.

But not completely.

Finding herself in a state of half-understanding,

they soon arrived at Teng Huang Pharmaceutical. Lin Fan got out to open the gate, the sealed iron gate and the production area’s heavy doors indicated that for these experts, their duty was solely to produce serum; unnecessary involvement in other matters was discouraged, even if something significant happened outside, they had to stay calm as though nothing had happened.
