Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies
Chapter 402: Jealous

Chapter 402: Jealous

He said he was jealous.

"Only towards you."

Su Yinhe: "..."

Laugh, laugh, laugh, aren’t you afraid you’ll laugh yourself to death.

Su Yinhe admitted she was a bit malicious.

But she couldn’t help it.

Maybe she was just born a malicious woman.

Su Yinhe sighed.

"Boss, don’t sigh. I’ll stop laughing... hahahahaha... sorry, couldn’t hold it in." Xu Jiaoqin had intended to stop laughing; after all, she was just a customer and should show respect to the boss.

But for some reason, as she tried to stifle her laughter, seeing the boss’s expression made her unable to contain it again.

"Alright, alright, if you can’t hold it in, then don’t. Holding back too much isn’t a good thing either," Su Yinhe patted her on the shoulder.

"Fine, then I won’t hold back, hahahaha..." Xu Jiaoqin utterly let go and

burst into uproarious laughter.

This time she laughed extraordinarily hard, with a sort of hysterical quality.

Su Yinhe: "..."

She was just being polite.

Do you even know what politeness is?

Xu Jiaoqin had no clue.

But by that time, it was too late; what was said was said.

Su Yinhe felt like slapping herself.

She deserved to die.

Really deserved to die.

That’s what she gets for speaking out of turn; this was the consequence.

Su Yinhe could only continue to watch her laugh.

Because of Xu Jiaoqin’s laughter, today Su Yinhe didn’t give anything away when they left.

She, the boss, also had her pride.

A little revenge.

She, with her kindness, could only dare to take this kind of revenge, and even this could hardly be called revenge.

Su Yinhe shook her head, then pondering, she became self-absorbed again.

Her, with her kindness... hehehe...

Su Yinhe felt like her brain hadn’t been functioning well lately.

As if someone had eaten it.

She was like someone without a brain, her intelligence plummeting recently.

Because of a recent supermarket trip, the Cheetah Team’s supplies substantially increased.

Their supplies were already plentiful.

Exchanged from the supermarket before.

After the supermarket disappeared, they were a bit scared; although they had already exchanged a lot, people are always worried it’s not enough, conservative in eating and using.

Breaking a half into several small pieces to use.

Their supplies were abundant, but they were used conservatively.

Supplies are always finite, they always had to consider the future.

After the supermarket returned, they bought a lot more, instantly replenishing what they had consumed and even stockpiling extra.

Now they were truly well-supplied.

Monkey then suggested, "Sis, should we have a feast to celebrate?"

"Yeah, yeah. Sis, let’s celebrate. The supermarket’s back, and we’ve saved up so much supplies, we’ve got to celebrate this," Bai Yuanyuan chimed in, her eyes lighting up, quickly joining the persuasion brigade.

The others, hearing this, also had their eyes light up, joining in on the persuasion.

"Yes, yes. Sis, look at the weather, doesn’t it seem perfect for something warm? Let’s have a big meal, treat ourselves."

Xu Jiaoqin looked at the people crowding around her and almost choked with laughter.

"Alright, alright. I agree. Am I such an unreasonable person that you all need to convince me?" Not to mention them, Xu Jiaoqin herself wanted to whip up a meal.

She wanted to eat something delicious.

The snacks the boss gave them before were tasty, sure, and there was plenty, but however one looked at it, they weren’t quite satisfying enough.

"Awesome! What feast shall we have?" Bai Yuanyuan nearly jumped for joy and, after expressing her excitement, didn’t forget to seize upon the crucial question.

"Let’s do hotpot," Xu Jiaoqin said after thinking a moment.

With this weather, if you rustle up anything else and eat too slowly, it would turn cold in no time.

They didn’t have any heating now; besides putting on warmer clothes, they only had their own bodies to fend off the chill.

But hotpot was different.

You could eat while cooking.

Whatever you ate would still be piping hot.

While these Superpower Users tended to eat quickly and certainly wouldn’t let the food cool down before they were done,

the real joy was in the communal aspect of hotpot.

Cheetah Team had quite a number of people, especially when including family members.

So Xu Jiaoqin prepared three big pots all at once.

It was fortunate that they bought so many large pots at the supermarket.

Three pots—one with Beef Butter Hotpot base, one was a tomato pot, and the other was just plain water.

You’d eat from whichever pot you liked.

Most people still preferred the fiery Beef Butter Hotpot; it had a robust flavor and eating it seemed to offer an extra dose of warmth in this weather.

This great meal—pots, supermarket purchase; base materials, supermarket purchase; chopsticks and bowls, supermarket purchase; ingredients, still supermarket purchases.

"Remember this, without the supermarket, we wouldn’t have this meal. If you ever see anyone giving the boss trouble, no matter what, you must lend a hand," Xu Jiaoqin said with a serious face.

"Don’t worry, sis," Bai Yuanyuan said while eating freshly cooked meat that was so hot it scrunched her face, but she didn’t forget to echo Xu Jiaoqin’s sentiment.

"The boss is like my second set of parents. Anyone who dares to bother the boss, I’ll risk my life if necessary to step in." The boss might not need her help given how formidable she was, but the sentiment was there all the same.

After surviving in the apocalypse for so long, they should have been beyond such thoughts by now.

But the boss was just too good to them.

So great, in fact, that in a way, she had given them a second chance at life.

Therefore, if Su Yinhe ever truly encountered any trouble and they happened to be there, they would indeed risk their lives to help her, even at the cost of their own.

Su Yinhe had no clue that there was a group of people willing to risk their lives for her after purchasing just a few things.

They boisterously finished their feast.

It was indeed a rare luxury.

After all, the ingredients for this feast were anything but cheap.

Fresh vegetables from the supermarket, various kinds of fresh meat.

With their large number, they bought a lot.

Xu Jiaoqin’s heart bled when she made the purchase.

So much money could have bought so much rice, so many supplies.

The feast they ate today would have been enough to last them a whole month if they rationed it.

A month’s worth of food gone just like that.

Delicious, for sure, but oh, how it pained her.

But it was a rare indulgence, after all; they returned to tightening their belts the following days.

There was no helping it, they had to save.

This damned apocalypse, who knew when it would end.

And who knew when the supermarket would vanish.

Xu Jiaoqin had asked Su Yinhe this question.

Su Yinhe’s answer depended on her mood.

She’d move it if she felt like moving.

If she didn’t want to move, she could stay put forever.

That was her principle: "Do as you please."

Xu Jiaoqin strongly suspected that it was because she’d laughed too loudly that Su Yinhe decided to answer in such a way.
