"Teacher Bai, I'm sorry, I... I can't go with you..."

Jiangnan Yan turned her head guiltily, not daring to face Bai Xinyi's disappointed expression.

Actually.

Bai Xinyi wasn't just her teacher.

She was also her ambiguous interest.

Yes, Ambiguous interest!

Both of them had a tendency towards women, so they naturally gravitated towards each other.

However, due to issues of age and status, they hadn't confirmed their relationship.

But if they continued to spend time together, they might have gotten together soon.

Only, an apocalyptic disaster struck.

Everything changed.

There was no time for romance anymore; how to survive became the most pressing issue.

And compared to survival, issues like hating men weren't problems at all.

Just like now, being held in Shen Yi's arms, Jiangnan Yan, who normally detested men, felt no disgust...

Instead, smelling the meaty aroma from Shen Yi made her feel more secure.

In the apocalypse, being full and satisfied was the greatest sense of security.

And all of a person's emotions, compared to survival, were insignificant.

"Heh heh, I understand."

Bai Xinyi smiled.

But her smile was very pale and weak.

Yet, she didn't say a word of blame to Jiangnan Yan, instead helping the fat pig leave.

Shen Yi naturally didn't stop them.

He had made his offer, and if they didn't accept, he wouldn't force them.

There was no need.

He wasn't lacking a woman.

He had gained something today anyway.

Moreover, Jiangnan Yan in his arms was much more sensible than Xu Wanting.

After making her choice, she no longer had any rebellious thoughts, at least not on the surface.

Unlike Xu Wanting, who had been full of little schemes from the beginning.

And even today, she had many little schemes.

After locking the dormitory door.

Shen Yi released Jiangnan Yan and said, "Let's go eat first. After we're full, we can do other things."

"Th-thank you..."

Jiangnan Yan's cheeks flushed. Such direct words made her extremely shy.

After all, this was her first time meeting Shen Yi.

Jiangnan Yan, who was usually arrogant and had never been in love, couldn't help but feel her heart race at the thought of what was to come.

But no matter what, she needed to eat first!

At this moment, Shen Yi was also appraising Jiangnan Yan.

This woman's appearance was even slightly higher than Xu Wanting's.

Her features were exquisite, and her skin was smooth and tender, radiating a natural glow.

Although she might have a bit of dust on her from not washing her face for a few days, she still looked very beautiful overall, especially her proud and delicate nose bridge, which made one want to kiss it.

Jiangnan Yan's figure was also good; where she should be thin, she was.

However, where she should be plump, she wasn't particularly so, barely reaching a B cup, quite flat.

But her exquisite face compensated for her figure's shortcomings.

And Jiangnan Yan had a great temperament.

Temperament was hard to describe; you just looked at her and felt she had a different aura about her.

Shen Yi didn't feel this way when he looked at Xu Wanting.

Although Xu Wanting was also a rich and beautiful woman, her terrible and arrogant personality left her with no elegance whatsoever.

Elegance, after all, was simply a result of the wealthy eating well, dressing well, and receiving good education from childhood, with even their posture and walking style being trained.

Otherwise, it was impossible to possess it.

In summary, Shen Yi was quite satisfied with Jiangnan Yan.

He didn't skimp on the rewards either, giving Xu Wanting two roast chickens.

Only by keeping his word could he motivate his subordinates to work for him.

In Shen Yi's eyes, women were also a type of subordinate.

"Honey, thank you!" Xu Wanting happily kissed Shen Yi.

What's more, she called him "honey" for the first time!

She probably wanted to show off something in front of Jiangnan Yan.

The love triangle had quietly begun.

Shen Yi naturally didn't mind.

As long as his harem didn't erupt in flames, he could accept a small love triangle.

"Um, where did you just get the chicken from?"

Jiangnan Yan, with her mouth greasy from eating, stared at Shen Yi in shock.

She had only seen Shen Yi move his arm, and two roasted chickens appeared on the table.

What kind of magic was this?!

While shocked, Jiangnan Yan didn't forget to stuff more meat into her mouth.

It was really delicious!

She didn't know if it was because she had been hungry for so long, but this chicken tasted like the most delicious thing she had ever eaten in her life!

"This is our husband's superpower, he can conjure food and water. Isn't he amazing? You better not tell anyone else, or husband and I won't let you off!" Xu Wanting earnestly warned, acting like the main wife.

A fox borrowing the tiger's might!

Shen Yi didn't mind.

Jiangnan Yan exclaimed, "Superpower? There's such a superpower??"

"Of course! Why do you think our husband can ensure we never worry about food and drink? As long as you behave, he can conjure whatever you want to eat from now on!"

"So that's how it is..."

Jiangnan Yan pondered.

Now that she was full and had drunk her fill, her intelligence had returned.

Was this really a superpower?

Conjuring food out of thin air, it should count.

After all, magic wasn't this powerful.

But she felt that this superpower was a bit strange.

Conjuring chicken out of thin air was understandable, but why was the conjured chicken cooked and steaming hot?

This didn't seem like a superpower, but more like storing cooked food and then taking it out when needed...

Thinking of this, Jiangnan Yan suddenly had an idea.

She remembered a post-apocalyptic novel she had read before.

Could it be that this man, like the protagonist in that novel, had been reborn?

And he had an infinitely large ability space, where he had stored a lot of food and water before the apocalypse descended?

Because there was no concept of time in the ability space, anything placed inside wouldn't rot.

This would explain why the chicken was cooked.

But this was just a guess, and Jiangnan Yan didn't dare to say it out loud. What if he killed her to silence her if she guessed correctly?

Seeing that Jiangnan Yan had finished eating, with her mouth and hands covered in oil, Shen Yi said, "Go brush your teeth, rinse your mouth, and wash your face."

"Um, isn't the tap water polluted?"

Jiangnan Yan was stunned for a moment.

Could it be that the water in the men's dormitory wasn't polluted?

"You're so silly, why don't you just use mineral water to wash?" Xu Wanting took out several bottles of mineral water from under the bed.

"Ah? Using mineral water to wash your face, that, that's too wasteful!" Jiangnan Yan was shocked.

It wouldn't be an issue if it were in the past, but this was the apocalypse!

How precious was mineral water!

How could it be used to wash one's face!!

"It's fine, with your husband here, we won't lack water!"

Xu Wanting gave a faint smile.

Seeing that there wasn't much mineral water left, Shen Yi casually waved his hand and took out over a dozen more bottles from his spatial storage. He then said to Jiangnan Yan, "Wash your hair while you're at it. I don't want to get greasy."

"This... this... such a powerful superpower! You can actually conjure mineral water!"

While Jiangnan Yan was shocked, she also vaguely felt that her previous guess might be true!

This man might really be a character who had been reborn, just like in the novels!

But, this was even better!

Following a powerful reborn man meant she wouldn't have to worry about starving to death, at least.

Moreover, she might even have a chance to find her parents and family!

Thinking of this, Jiangnan Yan's gaze towards Shen Yi was no longer filled with disgust.

No matter what, she wasn't losing out in this transaction!

Unless the apocalypse ended right now
