I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

[I'll ask her to give me massages more often from now on.] Yan Ziming thought to himself.

This was exactly what Ye Qianxue wanted. Her massage technique was taught by Mu Mu. The first time was fine, but over time, the recipient's sensitivity would gradually increase... and cough cough!

"Big sister, it's your turn to massage Qianxue."

Ye Qianxue urged Yan Zimo to get down, then lay down herself and placed her bare, white feet in Yan Zimo's hands.

"...I've never given a massage before, so don't blame me if I don't do a good job."

"It's alright, whatever my older sister does is enjoyable for Qianxue."

"Then I will..."

When Yan Ziming's small hand was connected to a subtle bio-current and touched the sole of her foot, Ye Qianxue trembled violently.

"Huh? Big sister? What's this?"

"Oh, did I scare you? This is called playing to your strengths. If your technique isn't good enough, you can make up for it with skill! Let's begin."

For the next ten minutes or so, Ye Qianxue felt as if she were floating among the clouds, her feet seemingly treading on them, sometimes sinking, sometimes floating up...

"Ah, fell asleep."

Yan Ziming looked at Ye Qianxue, who was sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but open his palm and gaze at her for a long time.

Looks like I'm quite talented after all.

After the massage, she found it to be a very enjoyable experience, not only enjoying the comfort of being massaged but also the benefits of the masseur.

The sun was already setting slightly, its light turning fiery red, and the sea spray was clamoring. Yan Zimo was fast asleep, nestled close to Mother Earth, and felt an unprecedented tranquility.

How long has it been since she had this experience? Many years, I suppose.

"Sure enough, coming out for a trip was the right thing to do..." she muttered to herself.

Just then, Mo Xin waved to them from the beach: "The barbecue grill is ready, come on over!"

They had already set up two large barbecue grills on the beach. Actually, it wasn't really them who set them up; Ye Qianxue had bought two early on, along with all the ingredients, all high-end goods brought by Mu Mu, which would have been considered luxury items even before the apocalypse.

"They're all just kids, all focused on the food."

Yan Ziming stood up helplessly, "Coming, coming, you guys start grilling!"

On the other side, Liu Mengxian had almost finished as well. Her delicate jade feet suddenly straightened, and then relaxed softly the next second.

"You've worked hard," she said to Mu Mu.

"Oh, no, I'm enjoying it too~"

Mu Mu touched her face, her expression of tax evasion complemented by a rosy glow, it seemed she had also had a good feast for the eyes and hands.

What could make someone feel more guilty about tax evasion than openly groping someone under the guise of a massage?

Yan Ziming walked over to Liu Mengxian and asked with a smile, "How is it? Comfortable?"

"I'm very happy. It would be better if they didn't do so many underhanded things."

Liu Mengxian glanced at Mu Mu intentionally or unintentionally, and Mu Mu pretended not to notice, "Oh dear~ did I make a mistake somewhere?"

"...No."

After much thought, Liu Mengxian decided to ignore Mu Mu's little schemes, or rather, whether she was following some kind of will.

Yan Ziming shrugged and said, "Let's go, it's time to eat."

"Huh? But my next reservation is..."

Mu Mu seemed to have something to say, but then Xiao Ze's voice came again, "Ah! This is burnt! Zi Mo, come quick! We can't handle it!"

"I'm coming!"

Yan Ziming gave Mu Mu a wink and went to be her cook. Liu Mengxian woke up Ye Qianxue and went over as well, so Mu Mu had no choice but to give up.

"Well, let's postpone the spa treatment until tonight, and some things are more likely to happen at night."

After figuring this out, she joined the group of people who were just eating rice, while Yan Ziming was preparing to show off his skills.

"Little Momo, you should probably skip your lightning barbecue. If you try to make everything perfect, you lose the fun."

“But if I leave it to you…” Yan Ziming said, glancing at Ye Qianxue out of the corner of his eye.

Goodness, she still vividly remembers the soup that Ye Qianxue made many years ago. Since then, Yan Ziming has never dared to let her go into the kitchen again, making her a mascot little sister who never lifts a finger.

Ye Qianxue pouted, "Hmm... Big sister, you underestimate Qianxue! This is just barbecue, at most it'll just be burnt!"

"Well... sorry, Chiyuki, just go ahead and do it!"

Yan Ziming apologized to her, saying that she was right; it was just barbecue, and even if the cooking skills were terrible, at most it would just turn into a piece of charcoal.

I guess I'm just overthinking it.

"Self-reliance leads to abundance; you can take whatever you want to eat."

Yan Ziming took several skewers of beautifully marbled meat slices without hesitation, laid them flat on the grill, and cooked them at high temperature, sizzling and releasing a rich aroma. After about ten seconds, he flipped them over, and the meat turned golden brown. He sprinkled on some good cumin and chili powder, flipped them again, and grilled them for another ten seconds to allow the aroma of cumin and chili powder to fully infuse the meat. He then sprinkled on some chopped green onions for garnish, dipped them in his secret sauce, and the meat became richly colored.

One bite reveals a crispy exterior and tender interior, with the juices locked in by the high temperature bursting between your teeth. The umami of the spices and the rich aroma of the meat itself make it a true delicacy.

"Mmm~~ This tastes delicious! What kind of meat is this?"

The meat here is so good; Yan Ziming has never eaten anything this good before.

"This is Iberian ham, and it's from over twenty years ago. I smuggled it from home; it's absolutely priceless!"

"Is this actually ham?"

Yan Ziming's eyes gleamed as he looked at the half-missing Iberian ham on the table, as if it were a precious treasure.

In this era, this thing is like a walking Lamborghini, priceless and unavailable. Once you consume one, there will be fewer of them, and there will never be any more.

"This thing can also be eaten raw, and it tastes pretty good. You should cherish it while you eat it. When I took this out, my dad even took out a bamboo stick."

Mu Mu picked up a slice of ham, cut so thinly that you could see the flames through it. She put it in her mouth, and the rich, yet not greasy, oil made her close her eyes in bliss.

"Oh--"

Seeing how happily they were eating, Ye Qianxue couldn't resist picking up a piece and stuffing it into her mouth. Instantly, as if she had eaten something, an astonishing aura burst forth from her entire body.

Mu Mu quickly tapped her on the head and said, "Hey! You've run out of clothes to rip, or you'll be all dead!"

After saying that, she picked up the wine that had already been poured and gave Ye Qianxue a sip. Ye Qianxue seemed to be out of her mind and leaned against Mu Mu in a daze.

"We also have wine here, it's been waking up since the afternoon, feel free to have some if you'd like, it's a vintage, high-quality wine, a perfect match with ham! We also have other excellent meats, like this Spanish Iberico pork, this beef is even higher grade than A5 Wagyu, and this is..."

Yan Ziming was speechless. She had expected the ingredients Mu Mu brought to be of high quality, but she hadn't expected them to be this high-quality.

It's unbelievable! Having money is so great!

7. This woman is not human.

"Wow—there's wine too!"

Yan Ziming happily took the wine and poured himself a full glass. He took a sip, and the rich aroma of the wine and the mellow fragrance of the ham complemented each other perfectly, a true delight.

Liu Mengxian also picked up a slice of ham and tasted it. She immediately covered her mouth in surprise; it was indeed delicious.

“Come here, Xin’er.”

She gave Mo Xin another piece, feeding it to her from above, as if she were feeding a small animal.

Yan Ziming saw that Xiao Ze had quietly approached the ham and was about to swallow it whole, so he slapped her buttocks and said, "Hey!"

"I know, I was just pretending..." Xiaoze said, rubbing his butt with a wronged expression.

"You're not just putting on an act at all. Here, let me give you a little love from your master, which hasn't come around in a long time."

Yan Ziming personally grilled a piece for her and put it in her mouth. Naturally, Yan Ziming's grilled food couldn't compare to the raw food. Xiao Ze happily squinted her eyes, and the smell wouldn't dissipate for a while.

"Big sister! I want Chiyuki too!"

The aroma of Yan Ziming roasting ham irritated Ye Qianxue, but Yan Ziming had no intention of doing so for her.

"Do it yourself, that's where the fun lies."

"Hmm—Big sister, you clearly know Chiyuki's cooking skills."

"...Then take this opportunity to learn. If you can't even make a simple barbecue, don't tell others you're my sister. It'll be embarrassing!"

Ye Qianxue puffed out her cheeks, grabbed a piece of meat in a huff, and put it on the barbecue grill. She stared intently at the meat, determined not to mess it up.

Perhaps she was too focused and forgot the steps, a minute passed and Ye Qianxue still hadn't flipped the dough. Yan Ziming couldn't help but remind her, "Idiot, it's time to flip it over."

"Huh? Oh, oh, oh, um? (drawing out)"

Before Ye Qianxue could even make a move, Yan Ziming wrapped his arms around his sister from behind and began to teach her step by step, which startled Ye Qianxue so much that she straightened up a bit.

Their swimsuits were extremely revealing, leaving large areas of snow-white skin completely unprotected. It was like two pieces of fresh white tofu placed together; their smoothness was self-evident.

"Pay attention."

Yan Ziming playfully controlled Ye Qianxue's hand as she sprinkled pepper powder. The movement was a bit too large, causing Ye Qianxue's back to bear a weight that she shouldn't have to bear at her age.

"Gulp (swallows saliva), umm, got it."

Thus began Ye Qianxue's series of failures.

"Oops! It's burnt!"
