Chapter 617: Chapter 617: Liao Yifan and Guo Yang

Upon learning that Lu Hao and his companion were about to reach the base, and that the face-changing pills used by the family in the Space had lost their effect, Su Jin and her family decided to return to the base using the Teleportation Array.

At that time, Liang Jiuhui was busy with the construction of the communication network for the entire S city base. Once this new communication network was successfully set up, everyone within the S city base would be able to talk to each other. Although limited to landline telephones, it was still a milestone in the development history of the S city base.

Also, the base in S city had successfully cultivated the first batch of new type napa cabbages, which had already been deployed in the base cafeteria.

Before long, stewed meat with napa cabbage became the favorite dish of all the survivors at the S city base. Even though the meat was from mutant animals, the lush green cabbages added to the stew made it irresistibly appetizing, the only issue was the steep price at the moment.

Lin Tianhui received an early gift of a landline telephone and a large napa cabbage from Liang Jiuhui, who had someone send it to the Heart Talk Team. It was meant to facilitate future communication with the Heart Talk Team and let them taste the fresh crop.

This amused Lin Tianhui as she, Lin Tianzhen, and Mao Zhihang could eat fresh vegetables every day in the Space, but the case was different for Liao Yifan and others, so Lin Tianhui used this cabbage to stew a big pot of meat for Guo Yang and others.

“It’s almost a month since Su Jin and the others left, right? Why haven’t they come back yet?”

Liao Yifan said, missing them.

“Lin Xiuyuan that kid too, said he would take his family to find Su Jin but hasn’t come back either, it’s so worrying,”

Xue Wanyi stated while eating the cabbage stew. Although Aunt Lin’s cooking looked ordinary, the taste was good, and Aunt Lin had even mixed some glass noodles into the cabbage, enhancing the flavor.

Left with no choice, Lin Tianhui playfully scolded Lin Xiuyuan a few times. Luckily, that kid wasn’t around. The family had been able to operate smoothly at the F city base for so long, and Lin Xiuyuan had indeed contributed a lot. Now he had also become the family’s scapegoat, which was truly miserable.

“When Xiao Jin and the others come back this time, let them rest for a while. Yifan, Guo Yang, it’s time the two of you officially sorted out your affairs,”

Lin Tianhui said jestingly to change the subject.

“Ah, Aunt Lin, what are you talking about? We don’t need anything…”

Liao Yifan suddenly blushed.

Indeed, over the past month, the relationship between Guo Yang and Liao Yifan had heated up rapidly, and Liao Yifan had agreed to be Guo Yang’s girlfriend, no longer just nominally.

Guo Yang even stated that he planned to wait for Su Jin and Lu Hao to return, to have them as witnesses when he formally proposed to Liao Yifan.

At that moment, Guo Yang and Yin Chengtian hadn’t closed their store and returned yet, but if he was there, he would have definitely agreed with Lin Tianhui’s words.

“Yifan, listen to me, even now, we can’t do without the proper ceremonial feel. Engagement, marriage, wedding–all of these are essential. Even if we handle them simply, they can’t be omitted, as these relate to a woman’s happiness for a lifetime. Don’t worry, your aunt and everyone else will take care of it for you,”

Lin Tianhui’s words moved Liao Yifan almost to tears; she had never thought she would experience these things in her lifetime. Aunt Lin and her family had indeed given her a lot of warmth.

While they were speaking, Guo Yang and the others also walked in through the door.

“The house smells great! Did Su Jin and the others come back?”

The first thing Guo Yang thought was that Su Jin had brought something tasty back.

“No, it’s Aunt Lin who made cabbage stewed with meat; it smells delicious,”

Xue Wanyi responded.

“Aunt Lin, you’ve worked hard, having to cook for us after work,”

Smelling the scent of meat and rice from inside the house, Yin Chengtian felt his entire day’s fatigue instantly disappear.

“I’m not tired from work at all, but you guys have been so busy with business lately, you don’t even have time to rest. You are the ones who are really having a hard time,”

Lin Tianhui said with a smile.

Recently, as the number of people newly arrived at the base had increased and the teams of Special Ability Users had started their daily zombie-killing missions again, business at the Heart Talk Store had gone back to the days when there were queues every day. Guo Yang was so busy that he even sacrificed his time for dating.

And all the Crystal Cores earned by the Heart Talk Store, Guo Yang had contributed to Su Jin’s space, willingly and without complaint.

“Fanfan Fanfan, I traded a pack of noodles for a bracelet for you today. What do you think, isn’t it pretty?”

Guo Yang proudly pulled out a cloth bag from his pocket, which contained a slender bracelet that appeared to be studded with diamonds.

“Thank you, it’s beautiful, but…”

But, as a Power Element female brute, did it really match her to wear this thing?

“Let me put it on for you and see,”

Guo Yang started to fit the bracelet on Liao Yifan, unconcerned, while Lin Tianhui held back her laughter.

Guo Yang really was good to Liao Yifan; he brought a small gift back daily without any repetition. Liao Yifan’s stony heart must have been warmed by him already.

Liao Yifan was touched yet speechless. Thinking about the gifts piled up in her room, she really felt like Guo Yang was treating her like a princess.

Yesterday he brought back a pink pouf dress, which Guo Yang called a “Lolita dress.” She had never worn such a dress in her life.

The day before, he brought back a white fluffy shawl, saying it would keep her warm next winter. She really wanted to tell him she didn’t get cold in winter at all–did he forget the base had heating?

And today, another bracelet…

“Yifan, I think it’s pretty. You should wear it,”

Lin Tianhui praised. The bracelet looked like it was made of multicolored gold and was studded with chips of diamonds. It complemented Yifan’s pale, slender wrist beautifully and reflected a soft light with every movement, making it look very pretty.

“Who did you trade these with anyway? How is there still someone who has these things nowadays?”

Xue Wanyi curiously asked while eating his rice.

“Hehe, I’ve made a friend, and he’s also a Space Element Ability User. Besides food, his space has everything. He often comes to exchange food here. He’s a very interesting person,”

Guo Yang said contentedly, holding Liao Yifan’s wrist.

He didn’t say that he had even traded many rings with that person.

…

Back in the space, Su Jin and others were happy for the two when they learned that they were officially together. Su Jin especially felt that relationships in the Apocalypse were often neither pure nor long-lasting, but she also believed that Guo Yang and Yifan could make it work smoothly.

Touching her still flat belly, Su Jin felt a bit of longing for Lu Hao and wondered where the two of them had reached now…

The next day, early in the morning while everyone else in the villa had gone out, Su Jin and her family appeared in the S City base villa room.

Su Jin only felt the pinch–it took about ten thousand Crystal Cores to open the Teleportation Array just once for so many people; the one-way ticket was rather expensive!
