Through a video call, Fang Yuqing and Lin Caining saw the life Zhang Yi was leading now.

A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

The pleasant warmth and abundance of food, a life of luxury, left them dumbfounded, as if they were gazing upon heaven itself!

They could hardly imagine that someone could live so comfortably ten days after the apocalypse.

Zhang Yi asked nonchalantly, "How have you been recently? You both look thinner, congratulations!"

Fang Yuqing and Lin Caining really wanted to curse.

Did they want to lose weight? They were starving!

Now they dared to eat only one packet of instant noodles a day, otherwise, their supplies at home would have been long gone.

Lin Caining's eyes were glued to the food in Zhang Yi's house. She swallowed hard, her voice tinged with greed, "Zhang Yi, how come you have so much to eat? Is it from the shopping we did together last time, the stuff you hoarded?"

Zhang Yi glanced at his kitchen and replied indifferently, "Oh, those? Just junk food, I eat a bit when I'm too lazy to cook. Usually, I barely touch it."

Zhang Yi was telling the absolute truth.

His alternate space was piled high with delicious food.

After all, he had ordered countless delicacies from various top restaurants.

And let's not even mention the billions worth of supplies in the Walmart warehouse, which included tens of thousands of food items.

His casual remark was a blatant show of wealth to Fang Yuqing and Lin Caining!

After all, a packet of instant noodles in the property owners' chat group had been inflated to 2000 yuan a packet!

Zhang Yi could clearly see their throats moving constantly, obviously swallowing saliva.

But Zhang Yi said nothing, just quietly enjoying the look of longing in their eyes.

"Zhang Yi brother's house has so much food. So impressive! Nowadays, many people can't even find a meal," Fang Yuqing said with a giggle.

"You're so smart. No wonder you bought so much back then, you had plans all along!"

Her address for Zhang Yi had unprecedentedly changed to "Zhang Yi brother."

The corners of Zhang Yi's mouth curled slightly.

"Ah, it's nothing, just good luck," he said modestly.

Fang Yuqing then asked, "Your house looks so warm. And it's not even the time for electricity supply, why is it so bright?"

Fang Yuqing voiced her biggest puzzle.

Nothing was more desirable than warmth when one was in extreme cold.

Zhang Yi smiled faintly, flipped the camera to show the fireplace.

"We installed a fireplace! It's really warm, makes the house almost too hot."

He even deliberately said, "By the way, you two seem quite cold. Is it really that cold outside?"

"I haven't been out for over ten days, so I don't know the situation outside."

This statement of Zhang Yi's could be said to have maxed out the resentment meter.

How could he not know the situation outside?

Just by looking at the property owners' chat group, he could see everyone's plight and understand how low the temperatures were in other homes.

Fang Yuqing and Lin Caining felt their teeth itch with hatred.

They knew Zhang Yi was doing it on purpose.

But they couldn't help it, he was living in paradise, with the capital to flaunt Versailles.

Fang Yuqing had only one thought now: to move into Zhang Yi's house!

Seeing Zhang Yi's condition, his house was abundantly stocked with food.

Plus the warm environment, who wouldn't yearn for that?

Fang Yuqing immediately put on a frail and pitiable look, batting her eyelashes and speaking coquettishly, "Zhang Yi brother, you're so amazing, I really admire you!"

"Can I come over to your place? It's been so long since I've seen you, Yuqing misses you so much!"

Fang Yuqing believed this tactic would definitely work.

After all, she had commanded many a simp with just such a move in the past.

And Zhang Yi had pursued her once.

She thought that as a goddess, with just a little effort, Zhang Yi would certainly agree to her request without hesitation.

Once she could enter Zhang Yi's home, she naturally had more ways to stay there righteously.

If necessary, she'd just give Zhang Yi a little sweetness!

Aren't all men the same?

But to her surprise, Zhang Yi on the other side of the camera felt nauseous seeing her coquettish behavior.

He began to doubt his past self – was he insane to have chased after such a woman for two years?

They used to work in the same warehouse area, where female employees were scarce.

Fang Yuqing knew how to act cute and dress up, so over time, Zhang Yi came to see her as a goddess.

Under the spell of infatuation, with the goddess filter on, Fang Yuqing became the moonlight in his heart.

But ever since he was betrayed and killed in his past life, that goddess filter had completely vanished.

Looking at the bare-faced Fang Yuqing on camera, Zhang Yi felt not the slightest ripple in his heart.

He even found her affectation repulsive, enough to make his skin crawl.

His lips curved into a mocking smile.

Then, leaning back on the sofa, propping his cheek in his hand, he said lazily, "In such cold weather, it's better to stay home and rest. Don't run around outside."

"Hmm, although I don't know how cold it really is outside. But judging by your looks, it must be quite low!"

Fang Yuqing and Lin Caining probably didn't expect to be rejected by Zhang Yi.

Both were stunned for a moment, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Fang Yuqing's eyes were especially filled with shock and grievance.

In her eyes, Zhang Yi was a decent backup option!

A flick of her finger, and he would come running to serve her.

Now she was taking the initiative to go to Zhang Yi's house, and he rejected her without a second thought!

This severely dented her confidence!

What made her even more uncomfortable was Zhang Yi's Versailles tone.

No, she couldn't accept this outcome!

Knowing that there was a warm, food-filled paradise in her own building, yet she could only starve at home, was absolutely unacceptable!

She was a goddess!

Fang Yuqing's face stiffened for a moment, then she forced a smile again.

"Zhang Yi brother, don't joke with Yuqing!"

"Weren't you always the nicest to Yuqing before?"

"How come, when I want to see you, you won't let me? I'm not asking for anything else."

She pouted, showing a look of grievance that would make most men feel pity and, overwhelmed by their protective instincts, agree to her request on the spot.

Zhang Yi, however, was the exception.

Ever since Fang Yuqing had betrayed and killed him, he had no feelings for this woman other than hatred.

Zhang Yi said, "Every time I asked you to come to my house in the past, you always had excuses, saying it's not good for a single man and woman to be seen together, right?"

"I think you were right, we have no relationship and should keep our distance to avoid gossip!"

In the past, when Zhang Yi pursued Fang Yuqing, even getting her to go out for a meal or a movie took a lot of effort.

Preparing gifts, surprises, and booking high-class hotels was the only way to have a chance.

When he wanted to take it further, inviting Fang Yuqing to his home, she always had excuses.

Now, Zhang Yi mockingly returned her past words to her.
