"Hehe~ Let me tell you a secret, Xu Ge. Do you want to hear it?" Bingbing happily ran to Thomas Xu's back and gently started massaging his temples.
"What secret could you possibly have? I counted the few hairs in your pants last night, remember?" Thomas Xu closed his eyes in enjoyment, resting his head directly on Bingbing's soft chest.
"It's a secret about Chen Yalan. Do you know why she has diarrhea?" Bingbing said, suddenly leaning in close to Thomas Xu's ear and whispering mysteriously, "Because we added a little something to the food she ate last night!"
"You didn't give her laxatives, did you? But it seems like you don't have any laxatives!" Thomas Xu opened his eyes in surprise and turned to ask.
"It's not a laxative; it's Jiao Jiao's foot bath water along with some other random stuff!" Bing Bing chuckled, laughing like a vixen.
"Damn, it seems like you guys haven't offended her, right? Why are you messing with her like this?" Thomas Xu turned to look at Bingbing and asked in confusion.
"Hmph~ She hasn't offended us, but who told her to be so fawning and greedy!"
Bingbing pouted and disdainfully said, "Didn't you get dragged by her husband to study guns last night? You really didn't hear how she was acting all coy while talking to Master Lin, practically wanting to lie in his arms. And when everyone had finished eating, she even told Master Lin she wasn't full. Master Lin then asked Cao Mei to help her cook something else, but Cao Mei passed that task to Jiao Jiao. You know Jiao Jiao's temper; she wouldn't help her cook. Plus, we all found that old woman unpleasant, so we discussed it and used Jiao Jiao's foot-washing water to cook her a bowl of noodles with an egg. Xiaomin even threw in a few of her toenails, and Liu Lan and the others were even worse, adding spit and snot into her bowl. We just didn't expect her to have diarrhea today, haha~ it's killing me with laughter!"
"Damn, how much hatred do you guys have to do this to her? You women are too wicked!" Thomas Xu looked at the laughing Bingbing in shock and then ominously asked, "What else did you add to it?"
"Me?…" Bingbing suddenly became shy and said bashfully, "Didn't you mess with her panties last night? I soaked them in the noodles for a while!"
"What the hell!" Thomas Xu couldn't help but curse, immediately shouting, "I'm getting hit even while lying down; doesn't that mean I'm involved too?"
"If you really think about it, it is indeed like that…" Bingbing nodded sincerely.
Outside, Jack heard Thomas Xu shouting in the yard but didn't pay any attention. He was half-lying in the driver's seat of the Hummer, smoking while casually watching the graceful figure in the Cheetah car ahead. That was Chen Yalan; after excitedly picking out several pieces of clothing, she couldn't wait to change directly in the car, showing no intention of avoiding Jack. She even charmingly asked Jack to help her zip up the back of her dress, but this time Jack ignored her and went straight to the back of the Hummer.
Jack looked speechlessly at the old underwear and panties that Chen Yalan threw out of the car. He exhaled a puff of smoke and turned to Jiao Jiao, who was sitting next to him with a well-behaved expression, and said lightly, "Jiao Jiao, why did you hit Jiang Yan this morning?"
Jiao Jiao was massaging Jack's legs, and her originally sweet face immediately changed, looking a bit flustered as she said, "No… it's just… she argued with me a bit about how I squeezed her while sleeping last night. I lost control for a moment and hit her a few times… I'm sorry, Master Lin, I was too impulsive!"
"Apologizing to me is useless; you didn't hit me, you need to talk to Jiang Yan!" Jack looked deeply at the red-eyed Jiao Jiao and didn't continue to press her about why she hit Jiang Yan. Instead, he leaned back in his chair and slowly said, "We are all survivors in this apocalypse; no one is superior to anyone else. Right now, everyone is struggling to survive, and we cannot have a sense of superiority. Helping each other is the key to our survival!"
"Lin Ye... I was wrong. When... when Jiang Yan comes back, I will apologize to her!" Jiao Jiao's eyes were filled with tears, and her pitiful expression made it unclear whether she truly regretted it.
"Sigh~ I hope you really understand your mistake!" Jack sighed helplessly, shaking his head as he said, "It's all my fault for being too indulgent with you. After just a few days of good living, you've become so forgetful. Maybe if I took everything away from you again, you would truly unite!"
After saying this, Jack didn't wait for Jiao Jiao to rush to explain anything. He threw away his cigarette butt and jumped out of the car because Bai Ru had already brought a large group of people down from the mountain behind the house. They were carrying many bags, and every woman was drenched in sweat, exuding a bit of a dusty smell.
"Ru Ru, not bad! You've got quite a haul!" Jack cheerfully took two paper bags from Bai Ru's hands. Opening them, he saw they were filled with sweet potatoes and dried bamboo shoots. However, many of the sweet potatoes had cracked open, probably due to the dry weather. But for them, who could hardly get any vegetables, sweet potatoes were still a good choice.
"Hehe~ Of course! You should see who did the work!" Bai Ru happily came up and linked her arm with Jack's, looking very cheerful.
"Sister, come and see! Sister Tingyu and I dug up a lot of sweet potatoes, and there are quite a few dried bamboo shoots too!" At this moment, Chen Jie ran up with a bamboo basket she found in the yard, alongside Rui En and Tingyu. Chen Jie's little face was flushed as she pulled open the door of the cheetah car, only to find her sister lowering her head to put on underwear, with her skirt still hanging at her waist. The dense black triangle was suddenly exposed to everyone's eyes, and she gasped, quickly closing the door and sticking out her tongue at Chen Yalan in embarrassment.
"You crazy girl, do you not want me to see anyone?" After putting on her clothes, Chen Yalan jumped down and glared at Chen Jie with annoyance. Her gaze briefly swept over Jack, who was talking to Bai Ru. She didn't look at the baskets in Chen Jie and Rui En's hands but instead raised her arms and elegantly spun around, smiling as she asked, "How do I look? Am I beautiful?"
"Wow! Xiao Ya, that outfit looks like the summer collection from Givenchy, right? Let me see, let me see!" Rui En hurriedly put down the basket in her hands and ran a few steps to Chen Yalan, examining the black and white dress she was wearing. The soft fabric felt luxurious to the touch, and Rui En exclaimed in surprise, "It's the real deal! Xiao Ya, I remember this dress costs over thirty thousand! Where did you get it?"
"Of course, it was given to me by Lin Ge!" Chen Yalan said proudly, deliberately emphasizing "Lin Ge" loudly. She then lifted one foot, swaying the crystal high heels on it, indicating that Jack had also given her a pair of shoes.
"Oh, Xiaoya, you're just a clothes rack; you look good in anything!" Ryan Tingyu said, looking up and down at Chen Yalan with a hint of envy.
"Well, that depends on whether Brother Lin has the ability! That piece of clothing that Old Marcus took from your incomplete corpse yesterday, would you dare to wear it? Mine still has the tag on it!"
Chen Yalan looked happily at Ryan Tingyu beside her, but her eyes were always paying attention to Jack's every move. Her bright, watery eyes were full of flirtation, but as four men walked up the steep slope, her charming expression immediately turned serious. She took out a bottle of mineral water from the car and approached the burliest man among them, saying with a concerned face, "Guodong, you must be tired, right? Come and have some water!"
"I'm okay, but we have to let those men rest in peace!" Chen Guodong, bare-chested, twisted open the mineral water and took a big gulp. His eyes lit up when he saw the clothes on Chen Yalan and he said, "Hey? Xiaoya, where did you get that outfit? It looks great!"
"Oh... they have a lot of clothes, and they gave this to me!" Chen Yalan vaguely pointed towards Jack's direction without explicitly saying who gave it to her.
"Hehe~ Guodong, seeing your wife must make you feel a bit itchy, right? You'll have to work hard on Yalan tonight, won't you?" Lu Bin, carrying a folding shovel, elbowed William Guodong beside him, but his gaze was fixed on Chen Yalan's low-cut top, which was quite revealing.
"Get lost, Lao Lu, you old lecher! What do you care about our marital bliss?" Chen Yalan shot a disdainful glance at Lu Bin, then happily linked arms with William Guodong and said, "Honey, let's go, don't pay attention to these bad guys!"
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, look, I've dug up a lot of sweet potatoes! Can I roast some for you?" Chen Jie fluttered over to William Guodong like a happy butterfly, holding her little basket and excitedly showing him the fruits of her labor from the morning.
"Haha~ Little Jie has finally grown up and can dig things for her brother-in-law! Great, we'll have a treat for lunch today!" William Guodong affectionately patted Chen Jie's head, his big beard shaking as he smiled.
