160 Great Kindness Raises an Enemy
Zuo Mingdong turned to look at He Xing. “Did you two come up with this plan together?”
“There’s no need to discuss. I’ll listen to her.”
Zuo Mingdong just wanted to ask He Xing for his opinion, but he did not expect to bear witness to this couple’s PDA all of a sudden. However, to be honest, since the end of the world, almost everyone around him had been lifeless. It was quite interesting to have two people by his side occasionally showing off their love and torturing single men like him!
Zuo Mingdong quickly came back to his senses and asked with doubt, “If you pity the elderly and children, why don’t you just give the fruits to them? This way, they’ll be even more grateful to you.”
Du Yue waved her hand. “All living beings are equal. I’m just an ordinary person. I have no right to pity others. We’re just doing what’s within our capabilities. We don’t care if they’re grateful or not. Moreover, a small favor is n.o.ble, while a great favor will raise an enemy. If we give the fruits to them for free, their mentality will change.”
Du Yue’s words stunned Zuo Mingdong. Ever since the two of them met, they had always met outdoors in the cold and snowy weather. Everyone would wrap themselves up tightly, so he had never seen Du Yue without a mask or hat. However, he could confirm that she was only in her early 20s from her brows and voice.
She was so young, but she understood human nature so well. He did not know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
“There’s one more thing, Captain Zuo. Please tell your men not to tell anyone that we’re the ones providing these frosty snow fruits. Other people’s grat.i.tude is very troublesome to us. It’s of no use at all.”
Zuo Mingdong’s thoughts were interrupted by Du Yue, but this time, he understood her considerations and agreed without hesitation. “You don’t have to worry about this. They won’t say a word.”
“Thank you, Captain Zuo. I’m sorry to trouble you.” After the three of them came to an agreement, Du Yue and He Xing unloaded the frosty snow fruits from the car and left after bidding Zuo Mingdong farewell. As for the contribution points after the sales, the base’s app now had a transfer function, so Zuo Mingdong would transfer the contribution points directly to He Xing.
Du Yue felt much more relaxed after she was done with this matter. After she returned home, she made herself comfortable on the carpet and swiped her phone. It was only then that Du Yue accidentally realized that time had pa.s.sed by very quickly. It was almost the end of the year. The last time they celebrated the new year, the weather was extremely hot. Du Yue had a New Year’s Eve dinner alone. But this time, she had someone to accompany her.
“He Xing.”
“Yeah?”
“It’s the new year next week. You should have New Year’s Eve dinner with me!”
“Alright!”
“On New Year’s Eve, I’ll make you pork trotters and chicken stew. This way, we can continue to earn lots of money next year.”
“Alright!”
“I have to make dumplings too! We have to eat dumplings for the new year!”
“Alright! But you haven’t taught me how to make dumplings! Teach me in these few days when you have the time.”
“No problem! I’m really good at making dumplings!”
With that, Du Yue turned to look at He Xing, moved closer to him, and rested her head on his shoulder. It had been a long time since He Xing confessed to her. However, Du Yue had never felt that there was much of a difference between before and after they started dating.
It was only now that the new year was less than five days away that Du Yue finally realized the difference between a partner and a friend. In this post-apocalyptic world, there was such a person who trusted her completely, and she dared to entrust her heart and soul to him.
He could fight alongside her, and he could also make dumplings with her at home. They could secretly do good deeds behind the scenes, or they could directly curse those who had ulterior motives for being shameless. Now, they were sticking close to each other, discussing what to eat for their New Year’s Eve dinner. Only those who had experienced such a stable and steady life would know how happy it was.
Du Yue looked at the man in front of her and opened her thin lips slightly. “He Xing.”
“Mhm, I’m here.”
On New Year’s Eve, Du Yue had just opened her eyes and realized that it was snowing outside again. Although the temperature had been -40 to -50 degrees Celsius since the beginning of the extreme cold, it did not snow every day. It was snowing heavily outside the window now, but it was warm and comfortable in the house, which made it have the atmosphere of the new year.
After was.h.i.+ng up, Du Yue changed her clothes. Then, she found some red paper from her inters.p.a.ce, planning to write her own blessings. Since it was New Year’s Eve today, preparations for the new year had to be in place. When He Xing opened the door and entered, he saw that she had already written several blessings.
He Xing often watched TV shows and read books with Du Yue, so he knew what New Year’s Eve meant to Earthlings.
