Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shen Teng hurriedly said, “Quick, don’t just stand there. Let’s sit down and chat.”
He Xing handed the eggs in his hand to Shen Teng. “We don’t have anything good. We thought that your chickens wouldn’t be able to lay eggs for a while, so we brought some eggs for you.”
They had known each other for so long, but Shen Teng had never taken any advantage of them. An exchange was an exchange, but the eggs that He Xing brought today were a gift, so Shen Teng did not reject. Shen Teng took the eggs with a smile. “We can make some eggs later.”
Zhang Hui took the eggs from Shen Teng and said gently, “Brother Teng, you guys chat first. I’ll go cook.”
Shen Teng grabbed her wrist and pressed her shoulders to make her sit on the stool. “I’ll go cook. You stay and chat with them. Don’t be nervous. The three of them are all very good people.”
After saying that, Shen Teng walked to the side and began to get busy. Du Yue and the other two sat together with Zhang Hui. They looked at each other and did not speak for a moment. They were strangers to begin with. However, Shen Teng was cooking and could not be out to facilitate their meeting. They looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
After a while, Xia Ju could not help but ask, “Lil Hui, how did you meet Shen Teng?”
Hearing Xia Ju speak, Zhang Hui looked at her. Before she left the house, Xia Ju specially put on cosmetic contact lenses and a wig. At this moment, Xia Ju did not look out of place other than looking exquisite like a doll.
When Zhang Hui’s gaze landed on Xia Ju’s face, she was stunned for a long time. After a while, Zhang Hui came back to her senses. Her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked a little shy. “I’m sorry, I’ve never seen a woman as beautiful as you, so I was a little fascinated. I hope 1 didn’t offend you.”
Xia Ju smiled. “Why would 1? Why would 1 feel offended when you’re praising me for being pretty? I’m so happy.”
When Zhang Hui heard this, it was as if she had been encouraged. She nodded heavily. “You’re really beautiful! The three of you are very good-looking! When Brother Teng mentioned you guys to me, he only said that you guys were very good people who have helped him a lot. He said that you guys have known each other since you were in the third base, and you met here by chance.
“He said that if it weren’t for you, he would have died of thirst on the road. He said that you guys helped him build his current yard and taught him how to grow food. He said that you guys were the kindest people he had met since the apocalypse. But he never mentioned that the three of you were actually so good-looking, like celebrities.”
Zhang Hui smiled shyly. “It’s all his fault. If he had told me earlier, 1 wouldn’t have been staring at Miss Xia Ju just now. Did I embarra.s.s myself just now?”
Xia Ju waved her hand. “No, don’t say that.”
Seeing Xia Ju’s serious face without any intention of mocking her, Zhang Hui heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good!”
Xia Ju rested her chin on her hands. “You still haven’t told us how you met Shen Teng!” There was undisguised curiosity and excitement in her eyes. Anyone who saw her eyes would not have the heart to refuse to answer this question. Zhang Hui was no exception.
“I’m from Happiness Base. After coming to the gra.s.sland, I’ve been building the camp with everyone. At that time, our gra.s.s had just been planted, and I came here to pluck the gra.s.s. 1 couldn’t see in the dark, and 1 couldn’t bear to use too much electricity, so 1 searched in the dark to pluck the gra.s.s. I was squatting down when Brother Teng walked over and tripped over me… That’s how we met.”
At this point, Zhang Hui’s face turned red again. “Actually, Brother Teng and 1 are quite fated.”
After Xia Ju heard this, she widened her eyes. “It’s true. It feels like fate! 1 didn’t expect to hear such a romantic scene in the apocalypse. It’s like watching a movie!”
“A movie?” Zhang Hui repeated the word under her breath. Her expression became a little erratic. “I’ve already forgotten how long it’s been since 1 last watched a movie.”
She wasn’t the only one who had not watched a movie in a long time. The people from Happiness Base and the first base had not watched movies for a long time either. The world was fickle, and one could only blame the heavens for messing with people.
They had just quieted down when Shen Teng’s voice was heard. “The food is ready. Let’s eat!”
Zhang Hui immediately stood up and said to Du Yue and the others, “You guys stay seated first. 1’11 go help Brother Teng bring the food over..”
