When the two of them woke up, it was already dark outside.
Liu Yang got up, stretching his well-built torso.
Feeling a bit hungry, he prepared to get up and eat.
At this moment, Chen Dan also woke up.
The two of them went downstairs together.
Tang Mengting, He Yushi, and Su Xiao had been waiting for them on the first floor for a while.
All the food was distributed by Liu Yang, so before he woke up, they couldn't eat dinner either.
Seeing Liu Yang come downstairs, He Yushi quickly greeted him with a smile. "Liu Yang, you're awake? We're starving. Is it time for dinner?"
"Yeah, I overslept. My bad," Liu Yang said with a smile.
He Yushi's face wore a playful, mischievous expression as she teased him. "You seem to have gotten stronger again! The intimate time was actually longer than when you were with me? Is there something special about this new girl? Does she excite you even more than I do?"
Hearing this, Chen Dan instantly blushed deeply and lowered her head, feeling so embarrassed she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Liu Yang knew that He Yushi and the others had overheard everything from the first floor.
But he didn't care.
Instead, he patted He Yushi's head and said with a proud grin, "She's a ballet teacher. What do you think is so special about her? Her shoulders can press down past her knees to use as a pillow! What's wrong? Feeling a bit jealous? Don't worry, next time I'm with you, I'll aim for two hours."
"Ah? Last time I almost died in bed, and you still want two hours? Forget it, forget it!" He Yushi quickly backed away.
Recalling the terror of being dominated by Liu Yang that night, she still felt a chill down her spine.
Back then, begging for mercy hadn't worked at all!
Looking at her fleeing figure, Liu Yang chuckled.
Then he started taking out food to prepare tonight's dinner.
This time, Liu Yang pulled out a pack of noodles, a bag of rice, a jug of cooking oil, as well as seasonings like chicken bouillon, MSG, and salt. He even produced some fresh vegetables.
All of these were items he had scavenged from the convenience store.
Everyone was shocked to see Liu Yang pull out so many supplies.
"Liu Yang, where are you pulling those things from?"
"Do you have somewhere hidden on your body to store all that?"
He Yushi and the others had expressions of utter disbelief on their faces.
When Liu Yang returned earlier, he had only brought back a female survivor without carrying any supplies. So how could he pull out so many items now?
And where was he pulling them from? There was no way his body could conceal these things-especially that bag of rice, which had to be at least a hundred catties. It was impossible to hide.
This was far too incredible.
"Of course I have my ways. As for where they're hidden, you don't need to know." He smiled, then asked the group of women, "Does anyone here know how to cook?"
Tang Mengting and He Yushi shook their heads.
They were both freshmen like Liu Yang and came from wealthy families. Pampered since childhood, where would they have ever learned to cook?
Su Xiao also shook her head.
As a celebrity-even if only a third-tier one-cooking was entirely alien to her. Her assistant usually handled all her meals.
Forget knowing how to cook, Su Xiao had never even set foot inside a kitchen.
At this moment, Chen Dan raised her hand timidly and nodded. "I... I know how to cook. I'm just not sure if it will suit everyone's taste."
He Yushi's eyes immediately lit up. "Wow! Sister Xiao Dan, you actually know how to cook? That's amazing! It's been five days since the apocalypse broke out, and every day we've been eating pre-packaged stuff like bread and sausages. Our mouths are getting completely numb from it!
It's great that you know how to cook! No matter how it turns out, we'll love it! At least it'll be better than sausages and bread, right?"
"That's right, that's right! Sister Xiao Dan, we can be your kitchen assistants and help out. Just tell us what you need us to do!" Tang Mengting added hurriedly.
Even the star Su Xiao chimed in, "I... I can try to help too, though I might not be very good at it."
Pre-packaged items like sausages, bread, and vacuum-sealed chicken legs were fine as occasional snacks. But eating them as main meals every day was enough to make anyone sick from the sheer saltiness and preservatives.
They had grown tired of eating them over the past few days.
If they could actually eat fresh hot meals, even paired with a simple side dish, it would taste like a feast!
"Okay... okay, let's get started then. Yushi, you wash the vegetables. Su Xiao and Mengting, you two chop them. Today, I'll make stir-fried noodles for everyone," Chen Dan instructed the other three women.
"Mm-hmm! Got it!" Everyone agreed enthusiastically, rolling up their sleeves to get to work.
Originally, because of the apocalypse and the zombies roaming outside, they could only stay inside the villa with nothing to do, playing card games day in and day out out of boredom.
Now, being able to help out with cooking served as a nice distraction. Besides, this was the first time the three of them had ever cooked.
They were all a bit curious and excited.
Soon, the kitchen was humming in an orderly fashion.
Then Chen Dan began stir-frying the noodles in the pan.
The rich aroma of stir-fried noodles wafted from the kitchen into the living room.
Even Liu Yang couldn't help but take a deep sniff.
"Ah, that smells amazing! Today is already the fifth day of the apocalypse. Being able to eat a long-awaited hot meal is truly satisfying.
No more having to eat packaged foods like sausages and vacuum-sealed chicken legs. Eat too much of that stuff, and your mouth just tastes like preservatives."
Soon, Chen Dan walked out carrying the first bowl of stir-fried noodles.
She brought it over to Liu Yang and said with a pleasing smile, "Liu Yang, give it a try."
"Alright." Liu Yang picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.
The delicious flavor instantly made his eyes widen. He hadn't expected his first real cooked meal in the apocalypse to taste this good!
Liu Yang praised Chen Dan, "It tastes great! Chen Dan, were you a chef before you became a dance teacher?"
"No, cooking is just a hobby of mine. Tomorrow I'll make something else for you guys." Hearing Liu Yang's praise, Chen Dan lowered her head shyly.
Seeing how much Liu Yang enjoyed the noodles she cooked, she felt that she wasn't completely useless after all-she still had value to offer.
"You can make other dishes too? That's awesome! From now on, I'm putting you in charge of food preparation," Liu Yang said happily.
In this era, young women were pampered. Finding a girl who actually enjoyed cooking was no easy task!
Chen Dan was not only beautiful and flexible, but she could also cook. She was practically a package deal of advantages!
No wonder Zhang Zhenfeng had been so obsessed with her back then.
Too bad the one embracing the beauty now was him. If Zhang Zhenfeng knew about this, would he be so furious that his coffin lid wouldn't hold him down?
