Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies

Chapter 31: Abusive Novel

Chi Yan had previously heard such matters and felt nothing. He even thought that the widow deserved it—during the apocalypse, if you had resources, you should hold them tight.

Having a hole in her head for giving all her resources to a man, if she didn’t die, who would.

But now, as he looked at Su Yinhe, he felt an inexplicable concern.

Those men relied on this for their sustenance, sweet-talking, and ordinary young girls were easily deceived.

Su Yinhe: “???”

Su Yinhe didn’t understand what he meant.

...

The system had given her a particularly robust golden finger. As long as she didn’t commit suicide, she was guaranteed to not die.

As for wariness, strong people didn’t need that.

Her supermarket wasn’t going anywhere, and no one could harm her.

Even if she were a naive sweet girl, she could live well—let alone the fact that she wouldn’t die.

She was so good to Chi Yan entirely because of his face, okay? Moreover, after spending some time with Chi Yan, he never took advantage of her, and her impression of him was quite positive.

She had also realized that Chi Yan liked to enjoy the finer things, and he had plenty of supplies. He didn’t seem to lack anything else, so that’s why she mentioned it to him.

She wasn’t worried that Chi Yan would rob her.

Even if he tried, he couldn’t.

“I…” Su Yinhe found herself at a loss for words.

Chi Yan didn’t say too much either; saying more would make him seem like an old chatterbox. He liked to maintain his pride—saying even a sentence or two of this sort was already a rarity for him.

“Alright, alright.” Su Yinhe brushed it off vaguely.

“So, have you decided what you want? I’ll get it for you.” Su Yinhe quite liked this skincare product and thought about giving and taking. She originally planned to get a few more, but after hearing what Chi Yan said, she silently dropped the idea.

“Anything is fine. Just pick, but be careful, don’t hurt your hand.” The seafood in Chi Yan’s space had long been used up, and now that he could replenish, he wasn’t fussy about the variety.

In the past, he might have been picky. But now, Su Yinhe wanted to give, not trade, and naturally, he wouldn’t be choosy.

“Then I’ll just grab some randomly.” Su Yinhe ran up again, leaving Chi Yan alone with his thoughts swirling.

To say “grab,” but in reality, Su Yinhe didn’t need to lift a finger; there were high-tech machines for capture, she merely needed to stand by and play on her phone, waiting for the machines to do the capture.

Su Yinhe originally planned to do a good job and grab some larger ones, but after thinking about Chi Yan’s words, she felt a little contrarily, so she let the machines do it randomly.

When it was about enough, she would put it in her space.

“Here.”

The two of them, one handed it over, the other packed it, and they were quite quick.

After Chi Yan put all the seafood into his space, seeing the silent Su Yinhe, for the first time in his life, his mind was filled with remorse.

He was always “Do as you please.” Before the apocalypse, his family background was quite good, and his own abilities were strong; few dared to provoke him.

After the apocalypse with his unique superpower, he didn’t need to ask anyone for help; he had so much stockpiled resources that he could be even more “Do as you please.”

He never considered other people’s feelings when he rejected them, and he spoke only as his mood took him, regardless of how others might feel.

But at this moment, seeing Su Yinhe’s demeanor, he felt a bit of regret.

She was so happy wanting to give him something, and his words were basically like throwing cold water on her.

She must be feeling upset now.

Chi Yan imagined all sorts of things, but Su Yinhe was actually fine.

At first, she was a bit angry, feeling that Chi Yan was looking down on the golden finger the system had given her.

But then she figured it out; Chi Yan hadn’t been in contact with her for long and didn’t know about the matter of her tricking the system. His words were purely out of concern.

Chi Yan was a bit cold and somewhat ruthless.

Being able to say something like that isn’t easy.

At least, he considered her to be something of a friend in his heart.

So now Su Yinhe was wondering whether she should give him something else. She got a bit carried away earlier and took too little seafood.

Chi Yan was the first person to treat her normally since she arrived here.

After coming here, those who came to trade at the supermarket either wanted to rob her or beg her; except for Lin Murong and Chi Yan, others either treated her with apprehension or tried to ingratiate themselves with her.

Lin Murong and Chi Yan were comparatively normal. But Lin Murong’s interactions with her had hints of fawning, though not very obvious.

Chi Yan, on the other hand, was genuinely normal in his interactions with her.

Quite rare indeed.

Chi Yan suddenly apologized. “I’m sorry.”

“Huh?” Su Yinhe hadn’t expected him to say that. She felt that Chi Yan hadn’t said or done anything wrong just now. Why suddenly apologize?

“You… don’t need to say that. Cough, actually, what you said is quite right. Rest assured, I won’t trust others too easily; I’m actually pretty cautious. The reason I trust you… is that I think you’re a good person,” Su Yinhe said, looking at him with sincere eyes.

Of course, someone who lived so comfortably in the apocalypse couldn’t possibly be a good person. But he had a good-looking face. Looking at him, he seemed like a good person.

Chi Yan: “…”

Chi Yan suddenly worried that right after he left, Su Yinhe might end up being deceived by some unknown man.

He gazed at Su Yinhe’s tender little face hesitantly, then took out several thick books from his space.

He’s not much for lectures, apparently.

But that’s okay; he has plenty of books.

“What… what is this?” Su Yinhe’s voice trembled a bit.

Why were all these books as thick as bricks?

“Some very interesting books, take a closer look and learn,” Chi Yan thought for a moment and then took out a few dozen tragic romance novels.

They all featured heroines encountering men, being betrayed and tormented, stripped of their dignity, hearts gouged and guts ripped out…

After reading these, she would realize that men are no good.

Having finished these, she probably wouldn’t be deceived by men again.@@novelbin@@

Su Yinhe looked at the colorful covers of the novels, “And what are these?”

“Looking down at a screen all day is bad for your eyes; you can occasionally pass time with a paper book,” Chi Yan thought it through thoroughly. He didn’t force Su Yinhe to read these books directly.

Instead, he found a better reason.

“I… I’ll take them, thank you…” That last thank you was said with great difficulty by Su Yinhe.

“See you.”

After watching Chi Yan leave, Su Yinhe breathed a sigh of relief and then stared blankly at the thick stack of books.

Damn it.

She almost wilted.

Growing such a nice face for nothing if you can’t even talk properly. And giving books.

Back when she worked overtime every day, writing proposals, her idiot boss insisted on paper copies and rejected electronic versions. Every overtime involved queuing for the photocopier, binding the copies, and delivering them to the boss.

Zhou Bapi, the boss, also said to save paper, the font size should be reduced by two points, cramming all the dense text together, making Su Yinhe want to puke.

It could be said that when she first started working, Su Yinhe didn’t read novels for two consecutive weeks because the sight of those densely packed letters reminded her of the physical proposals and made her feel nauseous.

She got used to it later, but still disliked paper books, favoring e-books instead.

Seeing this now, she kind of wanted to go back to the company and stab her boss.
