Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food-Chapter 34: Dinner Party

"Hey, little brother, what’s wrong?"

Liang Yuan frowned in thought. Yang Mei, seeing this, couldn’t help but ask.

Liang Yuan looked at the beautiful woman beside him, and suddenly feeling moved, he asked, "Did you feel unwell after drinking the rainwater?"

Yang Mei immediately smiled and said, "So you were worried about me, little brother? Don’t worry, I’m fine. If there was a problem, it would have shown up by now."

She wrapped her arms around him, looked around, and whispered, "Aren’t I just fine now? Ever since I got with you, little brother, I’ve known what a real man is."

Liang Yuan chuckled but didn’t say more. He just asked, "If you feel unwell, remember to tell me."

"Mm."

She looked as happy as if she were in love for the first time, a distinctly girlish demeanor on her face.

Paired with her ripe figure, Liang Yuan couldn’t help but want to ravish her.

Pushing down the turmoil in his heart, Liang Yuan smiled and asked, "What were you and Granny Li talking about?"

Yang Mei laughed, "Do you know that Granny Li used to work at the neighborhood committee? She knows a lot about all the residents in our community."

"I just asked her about Song Wen downstairs. Granny Li said she knows Song Wen."

Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow, surprised at this development.

"Really? Granny Li is familiar with Song Wen?"

"Yes, Granny Li said Song Wen has a lot of free time because she’s a live streamer and often came to the committee as a volunteer."

"Tell me more about Song Wen."

"Mm, Song Wen lives alone. She seems to be a graduate of Linjiang University. She bought this apartment herself. Granny Li said she seems pretty well-off."

"But she has a good personality. I felt pretty good about her from my interactions with her."

"Little brother, how about Granny Li and I reach out to her?"

"Is that drone really important to you?"

Liang Yuan nodded, "It’s crucial. With the drone, we can see farther and even communicate with other buildings."

"Alright, I’ll talk to Granny Li then."

Liang Yuan laughed and pinched her cheek, "I didn’t know you had this skill."

Yang Mei, delighted by his praise, felt even happier than if she had a full meal.

Having experienced despair and been abandoned by Li Zhiqiang, she was terrified of becoming a burden to Liang Yuan and being abandoned again.

So, she always prioritized Liang Yuan’s wishes and followed his words to the letter.

Suddenly receiving his approval, she felt naturally excited and happy.

She hugged his arm tightly, burying his arm deep between her ample bosom.

"Little brother, don’t worry, I’ll never be a burden to you. As long as you need me, don’t hesitate to use me."

"I’m yours now. Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it."

Liang Yuan’s eyes lit up at her confession, "Really?"

"Of course."

"Hehe, then wear that outfit I picked for you tonight."

"Huh?"

Caught off guard, Yang Mei blushed deeply and playfully slapped him, "You’re terrible."

"Hahaha."

Liang Yuan laughed.

As the two flirted on the balcony, Wu Qian and Cai Zhi were watching from the kitchen and exchanged glances.

Wu Qian smiled, "Yang Mei and Liang Yuan are a good match. Yang Mei, with her looks and figure, was wasted on Li Zhiqiang."

Cai Zhi also smiled, "Li Zhiqiang is a wimp. How could he compare to Liang Yuan?"

"But that’s only now. Before the flood, even ten Liang Yuans couldn’t compete with one Li Zhiqiang."

Wu Qian sighed at this, "Yes, the world has changed. Old Cai, there’s no more law to restrain people; some are showing their true colors. You must be careful outside."

Cai Zhi’s eyes gleamed, "You’re right. The world has changed, but for some, without those constraints, they can truly show their skills."

"You mean Liang Yuan?"

"Liang Yuan, yes. Liu Erlong too. In times of peace, they were at the bottom of society, but now, without laws to hold them back, they can really show what they can do."

Wu Qian mused, "You think that highly of Liang Yuan?"

Cai Zhi nodded, "He’s young, passionate, and ruthless. Liu Erlong is formidable, but in all this time, many people have been intimidated by him, only Liang Yuan dares to confront him head-on and not lose."

"And you see how he operates, studying mutant fish, forming alliances with us, each step is methodical."

"Today when I knocked on his door, he still didn’t let his guard down, he remained cautious the entire time."

"Such a person is bound to make it as long as there’s no accident."

Wu Qian nodded slightly and then smiled, "With such caution, how can you not say he’s timid?"

Cai Zhi laughed, "Timid? A timid person wouldn’t dare to kill Liu Erlong’s men. Look at these days, besides Liu Erlong’s men who dare to rape and kill, who else dares?"

"And if he were timid, would he dare to openly keep a female neighbor at home?"

"Do you think Yang Mei is stupid? If Liang Yuan were another Li Zhiqiang, would she follow him and obey him everywhere?"

"By the way, stay on good terms with Yang Mei."

Wu Qian nodded, "You don’t need to tell me that."

As they spoke, the fish was ready.

Instant ramen soup with fish, a first.

But given the times, just having something to eat is good.

Besides, the smell is delicious, not some dark cuisine.

"Liang Yuan, Old Ma, Ding Yan, come, it’s time to eat."

Cai Zhi called everyone from the kitchen for dinner.

With a big pot of fish brought out, the mixed aroma of instant noodles and sea fish made everyone’s mouth water.

With just two packs of ramen, the portions were small, and even smaller when shared with everyone.

But Liang Yuan took the initiative to give up his portion to the skinny Cai Yao.

"I won’t eat the noodles; I’ll just have some drinks and side dishes tonight. Here you go, Yaoyao, this is for you."

Seeing this, Yang Mei also tried to give up her portion.

But Liang Yuan discreetly stopped her.

Yang Mei was stunned and didn’t say a word.

Cai Zhi quickly said, "That’s not right, Liang Yuan. We managed to move in thanks to your help. You even brought beer. These two bottles would trade for at least ten fish downstairs."

Liang Yuan smiled and waved it off, "I’m a grown man, I can handle it. Look at how skinny your daughter is. Enough talk, let’s drink."

Ignoring Cai Zhi’s protests, he poured the noodles into Cai Yao’s bowl.

Wu Qian tried to stop him but couldn’t.

She could only tell Cai Yao, "Yaoyao, quickly thank Uncle Liang Yuan."

"Thank you, Brother Liang Yuan." Cai Yao, being smart, called him brother instead of uncle.

Liang Yuan laughed heartily, "Haha, Brother Cai, Sister Wu, your daughter is more sensible than you guys. I’m only in my twenties, calling me uncle deserves a drink."

Cai Zhi laughed, "I’ll drink to that."

He was about to drink when Old Ma joked, "Cai, you just want to drink! We only have two bottles; one drink takes a tenth of it."

"I say, let’s all toast together to celebrate our alliance."

"Yes, this beer is hard to come by, we should all taste it,"

Amid laughter and cheer, they all toasted together, even the usually expressionless Ding Yan showed a rare smile.

Compared to being locked in a stairwell corner by Zhou Jiaqiang, this was worlds better.

Her eyes became misty with the illusion of being back before the flood at a gathering with friends.

That night, although just two bottles of beer, it felt like everyone was drunk.

Old Ma and Cai Zhi, with two drinks down, started reminiscing, laughing aloud.

But as they laughed, their eyes became red.

The fish was delicious, the ramen tasty, and the fish soup full of flavor.

For Cai Yao, it was probably the best meal she had since leaving home.
