“What are you thinking about?” Ji Zan appeared beside her at so point, casting a tall shadow over her.
Fu Shinan snapped out of her thoughts and gradually adjusted her emotions from mories of her mother. She casually tugged at the corner of her mouth and replied, “Nothing much.” Then she looked over at Zhang Xiaojuan, who was still busy. With a subtle eye signal and a lowered voice, she asked, “What do you think?”
Ji Zan imdiately caught onto Fu Shinan’s idea. “You want to keep her?”
Fu Shinan nodded. “Surviving alone out here is tough, regardless of gender. In tis like these, cooperation is the path to mutual benefit. If you don’t object, I’d like her to stay. At the very least, she can help with cooking.”
Ji Zan suddenly asked, “What about you? Without a team, can you survive in this apocalypse?”
As Fu Shinan looked at his constantly moving thin lips, she inexplicably rembered the mont Ji Zan forcefully kissed her. Thinking about it, she turned her face away, even though she knew it wasn’t Ji Zan’s intention. Every ti she faced him alone, she felt uncomfortable. She pretended to sigh with a hint of annoyance, moved a bit away from Ji Zan, and said with confidence, “I think I’ll be fine… after all, I have superpowers, it’s like having an unfair advantage. If I can’t manage to survive like this, then I’m really useless. But obviously, living with a team provides a better quality of life.”
Ji Zan had complete faith in Fu Shinan’s words. In fact, he had a feeling that even if Fu Shinan were on her own, she wouldn’t be any worse off. With her character, she would never beco anyone’s subordinate; she would always remain true to herself. He flashed a slight smile and said, “Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, you’ll never have to face life alone.”
Fu Shinan, hearing this, showed a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Ji Zan cleared his throat awkwardly. “What I ant is, it’s easier for the team to survive together.” However, he couldn’t have imagined that sotis life had a way of contradicting oneself, and the words he spoke today felt quite ironic.
Fu Shinan nodded in agreent, then cautiously asked, “So, in our team, you really don’t think we need any won? Shouldn’t you seek the opinions of others? They must have their own thoughts about this, right?”
Ji Zan’s voice turned serious. “If they fall in love with each other, I naturally wouldn’t object. But if it’s solely driven by lust, then they don’t deserve a place here. If soone can’t even control their most basic desires, let alone their loyalty to the team, how could I trust them with our backs?”
Ji Zan’s words put Fu Shinan at ease. Imdiately, she thought of her benefactor from her previous life. She wondered how he was doing now. If he were still alive, where would he be? This matter had always weighed on her heart, a persistent concern. Lost in these thoughts, her gaze unconsciously landed on Ji Zan’s wrist, and she caught a glimpse of that tattoo. Unable to resist her curiosity, she asked, “Mr. Ji, what’s the tattoo on your hand? Can I take a look?”
Ji Zan instinctively slipped his hand into his pocket. “It’s just a person’s na, nothing special.”
“A na?” Fu Shinan beca interested. “Is it your girlfriend’s na? Or perhaps a childhood sweetheart?”
Ji Zan chuckled. “Where do you get these ideas?”
Fu Shinan playfully responded, “A dominant CEO like you must be quite the catch, don’t you think?”
Ji Zan reached out and patted her head, saying, “I think you’ve read too many romance novels.” With that, he walked towards the inside of the storage warehouse, clearly not wanting to continue the conversation.
Fu Shinan was startled by Ji Zan’s action but couldn’t help calling out to his retreating figure, “I don’t have ti to read romance novels, you know…” She rarely joked with any man, and Ji Zan’s sudden playfulness was sothing she’s not used to.
anwhile, Man Yu approached with a mischievous grin. “Tsk tsk tsk, look at that head-patting, Fu Shinan. I can guarantee that Ji Zan’s intentions toward you are definitely not pure.”
Fu Shinan shot her a glance. “I swear, you suspect everyone who talks to isn’t pure! There are only a few of us; it can’t be that bad!”
Man Yu wore an ambiguous expression. “Oh, it’s not the sa with everyone.
When you’re with Sun Han, Xia Dong, MO Cheng—I don’t see anything unusual. But with Ji Zan, it’s different.”
Fu Shinan felt oddly self-conscious. “What’s different about it?”
Man Yu leaned in closer and whispered in her ear, “The atmosphere is different! Trust , Ji Zan treats you differently than he does others. That look in his eyes, oh my, it’s practically smoldering.”
Fu Shinan quickly pushed her away. “I’m not a professional ophthalmologist.. Otherwise, I’d take a good look at your eyes!”
