As she came in, Luo Yuanjun spoke first, “Oi, come on! We’re all waiting for you, Fat Ball! Do you want us all to starve to death?”
Lin Wenwen glanced at him and said, “You guys can eat without me. I don’t mind.”
Luo Yuanjun pointed at Dong Lijia and said, “Your brother does! He wouldn’t eat without you, and he wouldn’t let us eat!”‘
Lin Wenwen rolled her eyes toward Dong Lijia, then picked up a bowl and fetched herself some whelk soup. While doing that, she said, “If you guys aren’t gonna eat first, I will.”
She liked the whelk soup the best. She preferred to prepare her stomach with some soup for the solid food later.
“Let’s take a walk on the beach after dinner to enjoy the cool sea breeze,” Lin Yuehui looked at the others and said with a smile.
“That sounds like a good idea,” Qin Jiao nodded.
Wu Minghao nodded as well and said, “That’s a good idea. Young Master Luo, let’s go too.”
Luo Yuanjun put a large crab in his bowl with his chopsticks, prepared to start eating. Hearing Wu Minghao call his name, he responded carelessly, “Hm, let’s finish dinner first. What’s the rush? We can also make barbecue on the beach. How nice will that be?”
“You haven’t even started dinner yet. Why are you thinking about the barbecue already?” Dong Lijia looked at him and said.
“Have we rented a yacht for tomorrow yet?” Deng Chenfei asked Dong Lijia.
Dong Lijia picked a prawn for himself. While removing the prawn shell, he glanced at Deng Chenfei and said, “Why are you asking me? Aren’t you guys responsible for it?”
“Oi,” Luo Yuanjun instantly said to him with discontentment, “We’ve found us this hotel. You should be renting the yacht.”
Dong Lijia dipped the prawn in the sauce, then put it into his mouth and started chewing. “I’m poor now. Don’t ask me to do it. I’m out of money!” he mumbled.
He had spent all his money purchasing supplies, and was left with no money for fun.
“Young Master Dong, are you kidding? Did you actually call yourself ‘poor’?” the others refused to believe him. The one who said that was Xiao Hanfeng. He was the one who helped Dong Lijia with the gasoline order. His family was running an oil and petrochemical business.
Luo Yuanjun held the crab as he pointed at Dong Lijia and yelled, “If you are poor, what are we?”
Young Master Dong was supposed to be the richest one among all. He had five supercars! Luo Yuanjun himself had two, and Deng Chenfei had three! None of the others had more than three supercars. Not to mention the fact that Dong Lijia invested in stocks and founded a few small companies since his first year in college! Those companies were small, but the profits weren’t!
Dong Lijia didn’t bother explaining to them. He shrugged as he kept removing the prawn shell while saying, “I’m really poor. Don’t ask me to pay for things. I’m just here for free food.”
Seeing that Dong Lijia was actually focusing on his own food, Deng Chenfei squinted at Lin Wenwen again. Usually, he would put a pile of food on his little sister’s plate before he started to eat. He didn’t do that today. Instead, he actually let her fetch her own soup!
Something was not right!
Lin Wenwen finished the soup and noticed Deng Chenfei glancing at her. Instead of hiding her true self, she started gulping food.
Her way of eating stunned the others.
Realizing what was happening, Dong Lijia felt a little speechless. He turned to Lin Wenwen, who was holding a crab leg in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, and said to her, “Xinxin… You… Mind your table manners!”
He wanted to tell Lin Wenwen to save some face for his little sister! She was bringing shame to his sister!
Lin Wenwen gave him a bland glance and said, “Eating is an enjoyable thing. If I can’t eat the way I want, I’d be enjoying nothing.”
Dong Lijia didn’t know how to argue with that. Meanwhile, Luo Yuanjun gawked at Lin Wenwen in shock. “Fat Ball, I remember that you hate lettuce,” he said.
Lin Wenwen gave him a glimpse and said, “That was before. I’m different now.”
Watching her eat, Deng Chenfei blinked his eyes. Dong Lijia glanced at Deng Chenfei silently and figured that someone might visit him in his room tonight.
Qin Jiao and Lin Yuehui glanced at each other. “Xinxin, aren’t you trying to… lose weight? Why are you still eating so much?” Qin Jiao said.
Lin Wenwen didn’t even look at her. She reached her chopsticks out and picked a spicy crawfish for herself. While removing the shell, she said, “I am trying to lose weight, but I have to ensure sufficient nutrition intake too. Besides, I’m not eating too much…”
After saying that, she put the crawfish into her mouth and chewed it happily.
After dinner, the people went to the beach for a walk. Deng Chenfei dragged Dong Lijia to the end of the group and looked at Lin Wenwen, who was walking in the shallow water.
“What on earth is wrong with her?”
Dong Lijia’s attitude toward her had changed so much. The problem seemed to be huge.
Dong Lijia glanced at him and whispered, “Leave it. Things will soon be normal.”
Deng Chenfei looked at him suspiciously.
Dong Lijia thought for a moment and said, “Something did happen to her. Specifically, she has experienced something. She’s different now. You’ll get used to it.”
“What has she experienced?” Deng Chenfei asked expressionlessly.
Dong Lijia stopped walking and looked at him as he asked him a question, “If the apocalypse happened one day, what would you do?”
On hearing that question, Deng Chenfei wore a confused look on his expressionless face.
Dong Lijia smiled and continued, “I was kidding. But, I am curious. What would you do if you learned about the upcoming apocalypse in advance?”
Deng Chenfei stayed silent and spent a few seconds looking at him. Before he said anything, someone in the front yelled at them, “Oi, you two, are you two in love?”
On hearing Luo Yuanjun’s words, Dong Lijia yelled back, “Piss off! I’ll only be in love with girls!” While speaking, he quickened his pace.
Deng Chenfei caught up with him and said, “That depends on what the apocalypse would be like? Would it be the eruption of all volcanoes? A tsunami? Or some kind of natural disaster?”
Dong Lijia wasn’t expecting an answer like that. It made sense though. What he said could also end the world.
“No,” Dong Lijia said, “I mean virus infection and zombies. The whole city occupied by zombies, people falling into a panic… Zombies all over the city, eating people. People have no food, water, no electricity, or the Internet.”
“Are you talking about Resident Evil?” Deng Chenfei looked at him and said, “If I knew that in advance, I’d certainly prepare food and water, vehicles, gasoline, and other supplies.”
Dong Lijia smiled and said, “You’re right. Anyone would think of that. But, that kind of thing only happens in films, right…” After saying that, he didn’t give Deng Chenfei another word, but looked at Lin Wenwen, who was dabbling her bare feet into the water.
