Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food-Chapter 43: The Leather Jacket Made by Sister Mei
Chapter 43: Chapter 43: The Leather Jacket Made by Sister Mei
Liang Yuan returned home, following his usual routine; he put on his electric motorbike helmet and prepared to slip a steel plate into his clothes.
However, after searching for a while, he couldn’t find the steel plate, leaving him puzzled.
"Sister Mei?"
Suddenly, he realized Yang Mei wasn’t in the living room, and he called out immediately.
From the bedroom came Yang Mei’s voice: "Little brother, I’m here. Wait for me a moment."
Liang Yuan found it strange and walked to the bedroom.
There he saw Yang Mei with a needle and thread, sewing something onto clothes.
He couldn’t help but be slightly amazed and asked, "What are you sewing clothes for?"
Yang Mei didn’t have time to answer, biting off the thread and tying a knot before she stood up.
It was a leather jacket. In this weather, wearing a leather jacket would definitely be unbearably hot.
Yang Mei handed over the jacket with a hint of expectation on her face: "Try it on."
Liang Yuan was puzzled as he received the jacket: "Why make me clothes all of a sudden... huh?"
As he took the jacket, he immediately realized something was unusual.
The weight was off!
He quickly shook out the jacket, and it was clearly much heavier than a regular piece of clothing!
Liang Yuan reached inside the lining and his face lit up with surprise.
"Steel plates?"
It turned out that several steel plates had been sewn into the lining of the leather jacket.
The chest, abdomen, back, lower back, and shoulders were all protected.
This was much more stable and convenient than simply inserting a single steel plate into his coat as he had done before. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Liang Yuan looked at Yang Mei, only to find her watching him nervously.
"How is it? Can you wear it? Is it too heavy?"
Liang Yuan didn’t waste words and put it on immediately.
This was his own jacket anyway, so naturally, it fit well.
With the added steel plates, and considering his recently increased strength attribute and muscle mass, his entire body seemed to have bulked up significantly!
The hard steel plate jacket instantly made him feel immensely safe.
He looked at Yang Mei with joy and was moved: "You’ve been working on this?"
Seeing his satisfaction, Yang Mei breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
She stepped forward to help him zip up, speaking softly: "Little brother, I know I’m not much use."
"Before the end of the world, my parents resented having a daughter and always wanted a son-in-law but feared being cheated, so they settled for Li Zhiqiang, who’s useless."
"After the apocalypse, even Li Zhiqiang complained that I was wasting food and wanted to sell me."
"I’ve been a burden wherever I go, but you didn’t mind and let me stay at your place. I’m so happy."
"I know I can’t stop you from going out on adventures, so this is the only way I can try to make sure you come back safely."
She couldn’t help but lean against Liang Yuan’s chest, her eyes red, murmuring: "Promise me, come back safely. Besides you, I don’t know who I can rely on in this world."
Liang Yuan’s heart warmed; he had never met such a gentle and caring woman before or after the apocalypse.
He admitted that at first, taking in Yang Mei was mostly out of self-interest.
For one thing, Yang Mei was beautiful, and he was lonely and in need of companionship.
On the other hand, he wanted a trustworthy person to help guard his home.
So initially, he didn’t force himself on Yang Mei but treated her genuinely.
He didn’t expect that in just a few days, she would be so devoted to him.
Liang Yuan wasn’t sure if it was because of the apocalypse or her parents’ preference for sons over daughters, causing her to lack a sense of security.
In these few days, Yang Mei had truly given him her whole heart.
Even being self-serving, he had come to care deeply for this gentle and affectionate woman.
With nothing more to say, Liang Yuan lifted her up and strode to the master bedroom.
This time, Yang Mei didn’t resist; instead, she responded passionately.
They were like dry wood meeting a raging fire, from the doorway to the bed.
Clothes were thrown off, shoes kicked away, eager to dissolve into each other.
"Little brother—"
Yang Mei’s murmurs seemed like the most urgent call.
Liang Yuan’s blood boiled, and with a low growl, he tore away all her restraints.
Half an hour later.
Liang Yuan delightedly realized that after his strength attribute doubled,
not only was his strength greater, but his endurance also seemed to have improved!
"Strength attribute actually includes not just muscle power, but also endurance and other invisible attributes?"
He started contemplating, but this distraction made him lose the feeling he had barely found.
The one who suffered naturally was Yang Mei.
An hour later, Yang Mei lay limp in Liang Yuan’s arms.
She truly didn’t have the strength to speak.
Liang Yuan felt refreshed, noting that it was almost evening.
He got up and said, "I’m going to make something to eat."
Yang Mei immediately tried to get up, but her body was too sore to move.
Liang Yuan chuckled and held her down: "No need for you to do anything. I’ll manage. You rest well and wait for me tonight."
Yang Mei obediently murmured assent, eyes full of tenderness, as she watched him leave the room.
Liang Yuan took out the steak he had won in a lottery and cooked a simple steak dinner.
There was no pepper at home, but thankfully he had Lao Gan Ma sauce.
A steak with Lao Gan Ma, full of spicy protein, had its own unique flavor.
After eating the whole piece, he was already full.
This stuff was very filling and a bit greasy with too much.
Thankfully, Lao Gan Ma balanced the grease and stimulated his appetite. He left a small portion for Yang Mei.
When he brought the steak to the bedroom, Yang Mei’s face lit up with joy.
"Steak? There’s still steak at home?"
Heaven knows how long it had been since she had eaten high-quality protein like steak.
Liang Yuan smiled: "Eat up. You used up a lot of energy just now."
Yang Mei blushed immediately but couldn’t care about shyness; she was genuinely hungry.
Her red lips gently bit into the steak, and the rich flavor exploded on her taste buds.
Her stomach didn’t allow her to chew thoroughly before demanding she swallow quickly.
"So delicious."
After the first bite, she stopped worrying about her image and took another bite.
Only after finishing the small portion did she exhale in satisfaction, her face full of contentment.
"Little brother, why do you still have steak at home? I didn’t see any when I cleaned the fridge."
Liang Yuan chuckled: "There were only a few pieces. I had hidden them."
Yang Mei was taken aback but didn’t probe further, merely saying: "I’m lucky to have followed you; otherwise... I would probably have starved long ago."
Liang Yuan caressed her face: "Don’t worry, staying with me, if nothing else, I won’t let you go hungry."
They cuddled for a while longer, then Liang Yuan noted the time and said: "That’s enough talking. They should be waiting for me."
With that, he got up and dressed in his gear again.
Yang Mei managed to sit up, covered herself with the bedsheet, and anxiously said: "Make sure to come back safely."
Liang Yuan waved his hand and said nothing more. After putting on the leather jacket, he grabbed the modified short rifle and the nail gun in each hand.
Fully armed, he finally said: "While I’m away, don’t open the door for anyone, understand?"
"If someone tries to break in, escape via the balcony."
Yang Mei couldn’t help but say: "Little brother, if you don’t return, I won’t live either."
Liang Yuan smiled, not taking it seriously.
Under life-and-death pressure, few people have the courage to choose death.
Of course, he believed that Yang Mei’s feelings were sincere for now.
However, when the moment of life and death truly arrived, everyone’s choice might differ.
Certainly, he would not allow himself or his woman to fall into such a desperate situation!
Liang Yuan’s eyes shimmered with a cold light as he opened the door and joined the group in Unit 3202.
Tonight, would definitely be a night of thrilling combat!
