151 Some Physical Changes
In this regard, Du Yue was willing to indulge in him. He did not have many hobbies, so Du Yue let him do as he wished. She found all the seasonings that He Xing could use and gave them to him. Other than the bedroom, the temperature in all the other rooms had dropped below zero. The rooms were like refrigerators that did not need to be plugged in. Du Yue took out some ingredients and placed them in the living room so that He Xing could find them easily when he needed them.
At this moment, there was a gas stove on the dining table in the bedroom. On top of it was a dual-sided pot. On one side was the spicy broth, and on the other side was the rich pork belly broth. On the table, there were beef rolls, mutton rolls, and streaky pork. There were also tripe, shrimp balls, fish balls, and chicken balls. There was also the spicy beef and spicy chicken wings that had been marinated in advance. The plates of red dishes were placed in front of them, and just looking at them made them drool.
The two of them sat down at the table. He Xing said to Du Yue, “Let’s eat the meat first. We’ll eat the other dishes at the end.”
Du Yue nodded. “You can put some mushrooms and tofu in the pork belly soup first. You can also put some baby cabbage in. It’ll taste fresher if it’s stewed for a long time.”
Although He Xing preferred meat, he could accept vegetables as long as they were delicious. He agreed to Du Yue’s suggestion without hesitation.
Du Yue put some tofu into the pot of pork belly soup and also took out the washed baby cabbage and mushrooms to put in. She let He Xing fill the pot with meat, and the two of them began to eat the ingredients in the spicy soup first. They had prepared a lot of meat and vegetables in advance, but the two of them still finished everything.
The vegetables in the pork belly soup were ready. After the two of them took them out and ate them, Du Yue added some handmade noodles. After the noodles were cooked, the two of them each ate a bowl of hot noodles and drank a bowl of soup before the meal was over.
Du Yue used to think that she was happy enough eating hotpot alone in the post-apocalyptic world. But now, there was another person accompanying her. The two of them ate hot pot while watching shows and chatted from time to time. It was obviously more blissful. After the meal, the two of them cleaned up the dishes together. Du Yue then told He Xing about her encounter with Wu Di at the stairs.
He Xing could not help but laugh when he heard the words, ‘If I wasn’t sure what he was up to before, I know it now.’ He Xing was not the only one who could tell. Even Du Yue herself understood why Wu Di had approached her. However, Du Yue was really confused. What was Wu Di thinking? What made him think that she would ever take a fancy to him? Just because they had studied together for a year?
Du Yue did not understand and was greatly shocked. However, she could not be bothered to waste too much time trying to figure out Wu Di’s psychological state.
“Ignore him. When do you plan to retrieve the supplies you bought from the app?” Du Yue asked He Xing.
“I’m planning to go tomorrow. If you want to go out, you can come with me. If you want to rest at home, I’ll go by myself.”
At the thought of her usual morning training, Du Yue asked, “Shall we go in the afternoon?”
“Alright, that’s settled then.” After the two of them agreed on a time, they watched a TV show for a while before Du Yue went home to sleep.
The next morning, when Du Yue woke up to train, she suddenly realized that her body had changed. Based on the intensity of her previous training, she would sweat and feel a little tired after each session. This time, however, she did not feel anything at all, so Du Yue trained for another 45 minutes. However, not only did she not feel tired after the training, but she even felt that all her muscles and bones were stretched. She felt very comfortable.
It was as if there was a small flame in her body that was providing her with endless motivation. Du Yue loved this feeling, so she was in a good mood the entire morning. After lunch, Du Yue and He Xing left their houses together. The residents of the small building should have all gotten their new ID cards yesterday. When they walked out of their building, they did not see any base staff.
He Xing drove the car, and it did not take long for the two of them to arrive at the largest supermarket in the base. This time, they still went to the back door of the supermarket. In the entire base, only this supermarket had the most complete variety of items. Only here could they take everything He Xing had ordered in one go.
