At this thought, the light of hope immediately flickered in Qin Lan's eyes.
Looking at Jiang Chen's face, the fear and shyness in her heart transformed into passion and reliance.
"Xiao Chen..."
Her voice also became sweet, tender, and moist.
"Hmm?" Jiang Chen watched the change in her, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.
Qin Lan did not speak; instead, she proactively reached out her snowy-white arms and hooked them tightly around his neck.
She proactively offered her body, pressing against his firm chest, tilting her head back, and kissing his lips fiercely.
Jiang Chen: "..."
...(Ten thousand words omitted here.)
*Gurgle—*
A rumbling sound from her stomach interrupted the atmosphere in the room.
A moment later, Jiang Chen and Qin Lan's movements paused simultaneously.
The two stared at each other. A trace of embarrassment instantly rose on Qin Lan's flushed face.
"I... I didn't do it on purpose." She covered her stomach, her voice very small.
"Pfft." Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
From yesterday until now, aside from drinking a bit of water, the two had basically eaten nothing.
Even a body made of iron wouldn't be able to withstand such exertion.
Furthermore, Qin Lan had just taken the High-Efficiency Recovery Pill.
Although her stamina had recovered, her bodily functions were also operating more efficiently, and hunger naturally surged in like a tide.
"What do you want to eat?" Jiang Chen pinched her cheek dotingly.
"Anything's fine..." Qin Lan lay in his arms listlessly.
Jiang Chen gave a wicked laugh.
"Is anything really fine?"
Qin Lan immediately thought of something, her cheeks turning a deep shade of crimson as she lightly punched Jiang Chen.
"Bad man~~~"
"I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
Jiang Chen laughed heartily and picked her up from the bed, drawing a soft cry of surprise.
"I'm not joking with you anymore. I'm going to treat you to a feast!"
He carried Qin Lan to the living room, placed her on the sofa, and carefully helped her put on that ice-blue silk camisole.
"Sister Lan, watch closely."
Jiang Chen stood in the open space of the living room and winked at her with a smile: "Next, it's time to witness a miracle."
"What?" Qin Lan thought he was talking nonsense again.
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and muttered in his heart: "Open Sub-space!"
*Hum—*
Under Qin Lan's shocked gaze, the air in front of Jiang Chen began to distort.
A soft white light portal appeared out of thin air.
Inside the light portal was an incredible sight.
"This... this is..."
Qin Lan covered her mouth tightly to keep herself from screaming.
Behind the light portal was a vast, pure white space.
Inside the space, top-tier delicacies from all over the world were laid out.
The buffet counters stretched as far as the eye could see: steaming Australian Lobsters, mountains of French Foie Gras, golden and crispy Chinese Roast Duck, exquisitely plated Japanese Cuisine... On the other side was a temperature-controlled wine cellar filled with various rare red wines, some brands of which even she couldn't name.
Dessert area, fruit area, seafood area... everything was there, inexhaustible!
"Jiang... Jiang Chen..." Qin Lan's mind went blank; she thought she was dreaming.
She had seen grand scenes before, but the sight before her eyes overturned her understanding.
This wasn't the Apocalypse arriving; it was clearly stepping into heaven!
"Welcome, my dear hostess."
Jiang Chen smiled and reached out his hand to her, his movements as elegant as a gentleman's.
As if sleepwalking, Qin Lan took Jiang Chen's hand and, barefoot, walked into that space step by step.
When she truly stood in that paradise of delicacies and smelled the aroma permeating the air, she could no longer hold it back.
"Wuu..."
This woman hadn't cried when the Apocalypse arrived, but at this moment, she hugged Jiang Chen tightly and wailed loudly.
"This is great... this is great..."
"We don't have to die!"
She was an elite who managed a multi-billion dollar conglomerate; she naturally understood exactly what all this meant in the Apocalypse.
This was simply a miracle!
The surprises Jiang Chen brought her were truly becoming more and more numerous.
"Don't cry anymore."
"The food here will always stay in its best condition. It's time for us to replenish some real nutrition now."
Jiang Chen smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of Qin Lan's eyes.
This workplace elite and iceberg goddess, admired by everyone, was currently just a very cute and moving young girl in his arms.
The charm radiated by Qin Lan in this state was something only he could possess.
From a nearby counter, Jiang Chen brought over a plate of freshly seared A5 Filet Mignon and a small dish of Sturgeon Caviar.
"Come, try it."
Qin Lan didn't mind Jiang Chen's teasing just now. Since her whole person belonged to him anyway, how could she care about a few jokes?
She sat at the table, picked up the knife and fork, and began to devour the food like a whirlwind.
As for things like elegance or image, she completely didn't care anymore.
Qin Lan directly transformed into a little steam engine, starting her 'clatter-clatter'... Qin Lan ate this lunch with tears in her eyes.
She had never thought that eating could be such a happy thing.
"No... I can't anymore."
"I can't fit anything else in my stomach."
"If I eat any more, it's going to overflow!"
Qin Lan leaned back in the dining chair contentedly, patting her slightly bulging stomach.
"Xiao Chen, now that we have a shelter and so much good food."
"Can we... just keep living like this forever?"
A moving smile appeared on Qin Lan's face as she looked at Jiang Chen expectantly.
However, Jiang Chen shook his head.
"Food can only let us survive, but it can't let us live well."
He led Qin Lan out of that Sub-space, and the two walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the living room.
The sight outside the window made Qin Lan's smile vanish once again.
The toxic rain from yesterday had stopped at some point.
But this didn't mean the Apocalypse was over, or that what they experienced yesterday was just a dream.
The purple-black sky was covered with dark clouds. Although it lacked the terrifying sounds of thunder and lightning, the outside was currently eerily quiet.
In the sky outside the window, gray-black snow was currently drifting down.
"It's... it's snowing."
"This, how is this possible!"
Qin Lan's voice was trembling.
It was clearly summer right now!
Yesterday, she had the air conditioner on and still felt a bit hot wearing a camisole in the room.
How could it have dropped below zero outside overnight?
Moreover, the color of these snowflakes was very wrong.
These snowflakes were likely just like yesterday's toxic rain, carrying a terrifying toxicity.
The progress of the Apocalypse hadn't stopped at all; instead, it was developing toward an even more terrifying stage!
"What should we do..."
Qin Lan's heart, which had just settled, was hanging in suspense again. She looked at Jiang Chen, her eyes full of attachment.
"I'm afraid we're really going to be trapped to death here for the rest of our lives."
"But even if we are trapped to death here, as long as you are by my side."
"Even if I die, it seems like there's nothing to be afraid of anymore..."
Looking at the flawless Qin Lan, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
He didn't expect such an iceberg goddess to actually be a hopeless romantic.
However, this version of Qin Lan was also very cute.
"Are you worried?" Jiang Chen smiled faintly, seeing her worried look.
"You... aren't you worried?" Qin Lan was stunned.
Why was Jiang Chen's reaction completely different from what she had expected?
"Of course not." Jiang Chen shook his head. "Because we have already become different from others."
"Sister Lan, now I will demonstrate another, even more mysterious power!"
"Hmm?"
Qin Lan opened her eyes wide and looked at Jiang Chen curiously.
She wondered what kind of surprise this little man of hers would bring her next.
"Watch closely."
Jiang Chen looked at the dining table in the living room and directly activated the Superpower he had copied from Qin Lan.
Next, a magical scene occurred.
This dining table, as well as the cups and miscellaneous items on it, instantly vanished into thin air!
"Ah—!"
Qin Lan's eyes widened instantly, and she covered her mouth tightly.
She looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.
"Space Ability?!"
