Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 165: Chapter 165: The Last Day Tycoon (30)
 

The young man by Chuzheng’s side had become the focus of everyone’s discussion.

What kind of disaster would make a big shot bow down?

Unfortunately, this calamity always wore a hat.

As the weather grew hotter, according to the reports from outside, the zombies seemed to fear the heat and were dwindling in numbers.

This news spread throughout the base.

But no one knew the actual situation.

However, the increasingly blistering heat was a reality.

The base suffered from a severe water shortage.

Yet Chuzheng spent Crystal Cores every day to prepare bathwater for Lu Ran.

Lu Ran: “…”

He was nearly being spoiled.

Did she really think of herself as a young master to pamper?

Lu Ran sat upstairs, surrounded by empty space, not a soul in sight.

The clothes on the young man were brand new, with obvious fold marks.

He was completely out of place among the people of the post-apocalyptic world.

He was like a prince living in a castle, clean and transparent, delicately luxurious, inspiring admiration.

The youth propped his cheek while aimlessly poking the food in his bowl with chopsticks.

“Don’t like it, change…”

“No need,” Lu Ran put down his chopsticks, “I’m full.”

“Hmm,” Chuzheng passed him a tissue, and Lu Ran hesitated before accepting it.

The soft tissue was pinched between his fingers. How long had it been since he had touched such a thing?

The clothes he wore, the food he ate, the things he used…

Almost no different from before the apocalypse.

He was well aware of how hard these things were to find in a post-apocalyptic world.

Was she really raising him like a “Canary”?

In his life, Lu Ran probably had never thought that such a day would come.

There was a girl, forcefully invading his world, planning everything for him.

Aside from not being allowed to leave her, he could do anything.

“Hey,” Lu Ran leaned on the table, “If I wanted to become the supreme leader of this base, would you help me achieve that?”

“Hmm,” Chuzheng nodded without hesitation, “Do you want to?”

Was the ideal of the Good Person Card so impressive?

Taking over a base shouldn’t be hard, right?!

Lu Ran paused, then laughed as he shook his head, “No, just asking.”

“Whatever you want, I can give it to you.”

“Including yourself?”

Chuzheng gave him a look, weighing it in her heart for a moment, “Including me.”

Lu Ran sighed, “What did I do in my past life to gain your favor?”

Chuzheng: “I must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck.” Although the Good Person Card tastes nice when kissed, it cannot be denied that it’s essentially a nuisance she had to put up with.

“What?”

[Miss, I beg you not to speak recklessly! You should cajole the Good Person Card more, you know? How could you possibly get the Good Person Card with such heartless madness?!]

The King’s Account quickly intervened, blocking the straightforward words Chuzheng was about to repeat.

“Nothing.”

Actually, Lu Ran had heard that sentence. His gaze lingered on her for a moment before he changed the subject.

–

The night market was as bustling as ever. Anyway, as soon as Chuzheng arrived at such a place, the King’s Account would never miss the opportunity to issue tasks.

Chuzheng bought a pile of odds and ends that seemed useful before the apocalypse but utterly useless after.

Lu Ran followed by Chuzheng’s side, watching her spend Crystal Cores like running water.

“Where do your Crystal Cores come from?” Lu Ran was still very curious about this.

The young man whispered in her ear, his breath pouring into her neck as he spoke.

“Found them.”

The corners of Lu Ran’s eyes crinkled with a hint of a smile, making his face appear even more astonishingly beautiful.

“How come I never saw you pick them up?”

“If you saw it, then it wouldn’t be me picking them up.”

“…” Unable to refute the sound logic.

Chuzheng walked ahead with Lu Ran.

The night market sold everything, and this “everything” included anything in this world that could be traded.

Some girls, dressed revealingly, stood in corners; men just needed to offer some food, and the girls would follow them.

These people had no other choice, they lacked the ability to kill zombies, and if they wanted to survive, this was their only option.

Slap—

The crisp sound of a slap rang out.

A man’s angry curses followed.

“Damn! You little slut! Is this all you have? Huh? Are you hiding something?”

Not far ahead, a girl was kicked to the ground by a man, and the onlookers around were not surprised, with very few people actually watching.

Chuzheng led Lu Ran over.

Lu Ran was curious and glanced over twice, his fingertips hooking inside Chuzheng’s palm: “That person looks like the one called Xiner from last time.”

He remembered her so clearly because of the last bath incident.

“Oh.”

Chuzheng’s face was indifferent.

“Aren’t you curious why she’s ended up like this?”

Chuzheng glanced over, the girl was beaten miserably, but she was quickly dragged away by the man.

Chuzheng shook her head: “It has nothing to do with me.”

The group that Xiner was with split up after Brother Yong entered the base.

The man who hit Xiner just now, she somewhat recognized him—he was one of those men.

Clearly, Xiner’s days were not easy after they separated.

Within Brother Yong’s group, with Brother Yong’s control, these men didn’t dare to cause trouble.

The other two girls who were with Xiner, probably weren’t faring much better.

“You’re really strange.”

“Where am I strange?”

“Everywhere is strange.” Isn’t it strange to want to lock him up for no reason?

Chuzheng looked at him sideways.

In the bustling night market, as the surroundings gradually decayed, he became the only splash of color, dazzling and attention-grabbing.

Good looks are not all alike.

Someone like Lu Ran can’t be found even in a million.

How can a boy be so good-looking?

Lu Ran’s lips curled up slightly, his frivolous temperament showing, as he leaned close to Chuzheng, looking at himself through her eyes: “What’s wrong, have you been dazzled by my beauty?”

“Hmm.”

Chuzheng nodded earnestly.

She didn’t hide anything, which was a bit different from what Lu Ran had in mind.

He thought she would give him a cold expression and tell him, ‘Don’t even dream about it,’ but instead, she openly admitted it.

Lu Ran admitted his heartbeat sped up in that moment.

He was a bit unsure how to handle the girl in front of him.

Did she like him?

Lu Ran wasn’t sure about the answer.

She was so nice to him, seemingly just because, as she said, she needed to be a good person.

Realizing this, Lu Ran’s gaze slightly concealed.

Why did she presume to make decisions about his life?

Lu Ran’s tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth, and after a moment, he leaned his body against Chuzheng’s shoulder, his lips brushing against her earlobe as he whispered, “Then do you want me?”

“You are already mine.” Is there a need to want? No need!

“I…” Lu Ran almost ran out of breath.

When did he become hers?

Had he agreed?

Lu Ran’s hand slipped around her waist; right now, he was holding her from behind, their stance intimate and close.

“Not that.”

“Hmm?” Chuzheng looked sideways, asking seriously, “Then what is it?”

The surrounding noise spread, but the youth’s voice was exceptionally clear: “You don’t know? I can teach you.”
