Gu Qing was brought into the kitchen, and the three of them were busy preparing food.
"Ding dong."
Gu Qing rushed to the door, "They must be here."
He opened the door and froze for a moment. "It's you again."
Hua Ying flashed a radiant smile, her already round face appearing even more so.
"I smelled the delicious food. Are you guys cooking again? I was wondering if Sister Qian could spare me a bowl of plain rice."
Gu Qing's face soured. How could this woman be so shameless? She had already visited once, and now she was back for a second time.
"No, no, leave, leave, leave."
He spoke in a tone as if he were shooing away a dog.
Hua Ying's face fell. "Just because you say no, means there's none? I want to go in and ask Sister Qian."
"You're not allowed."
"Sister Qian! Sister Qian!"
"Don't shout like that!"
Hearing the commotion, Xu Qian washed her hands and walked out, frowning. "What's all the fuss about?"
"Sister Qian, it's her, she's insisting on coming over to freeload."
{This woman is truly shameless.}
{This man is really... infuriating.}
"..."
"It's fine, Hua Ying, come in. We're about to eat anyway."
They had cooked enough dishes for today, and even with one more person, there would be enough to eat.
Moreover, she had a new appreciation for strong ability users. If she could recruit Hua Ying to the Sun Team, the team's strength would be formidable, and she would dare to take on the 5-star mission before Jiang Shuo.
Hua Xiu bit her lip. She wanted to go in, but it felt awkward to eat for free.
"Sister Qian, wait a moment."
In a short while, she returned, holding a white lace gauze dress. Exquisite patterns were sewn onto it, clearly not an ordinary item.
"Sister Qian, I'm giving this to you. You'll look stunning in it."
Xu Qian glanced at the dress from side to side, stunned.
"...Hua Ying, you should take it back. I don't have any occasion to wear this kind of dress right now."
In the apocalypse, who would wear a dress? It would also be inconvenient for fighting zombies.
Her expression was firm. "This is my collectible Lolita wedding dress, the 'Bride's Bridal,' you must accept it. Otherwise, how could I possibly feel comfortable freeloading here?"
Her tone implied that if Xu Qian didn't accept it, she would never step inside.
This dress was her favorite. Her home was near the base, and she often went back to get clothes while on missions.
Xu Qian pressed her temples in resignation and reached out to take the dress.
"Come in then."
"Alright! Sister Qian, I'll help you change into it now, you'll look super beautiful!"
Gu Qing looked utterly bewildered. When did they get acquainted?
"You can change into it when you have time later."
"No, Sister Qian, when will you have time? You have time now! If you wait until tomorrow to take on missions, you really won't have time."
The two of them walked towards the house while talking.
"Wow, your place is so beautiful."
Hua Ying surveyed the surroundings. The house was clean and tidy, unlike theirs which was like a dog's den and smelled foul.
Then, she stared at the dozen barrels of mineral water in the kitchen corner, looking bewildered. Why so much water? She then looked at the few tender heads of cabbage in the kitchen.
Were these things supposed to exist in the apocalypse?
On the dining table, five fragrant dishes were already laid out.
And a handsome silver-haired guy was stir-frying something. Everything was so perfect.
Xu Qian smelled something slightly burnt and reminded, "A Bai, turn down the heat a bit when you're stir-frying."
"Okay, why don't you trust me?"
Mei Yue Bai turned around, his handsome face causing Hua Ying to tremble.
She leaned close to Xu Qian's ear and whispered, "Sister Qian, who is he?"
Mei Yue Bai had excellent hearing. He heard Hua Ying asking about him and immediately perked up his ears.
{What will she say?}
