Survival in the neighborhood: Give me a piece of bread every day

"One gold coin, four bottles of water, and five loaves of bread."

Chen An handed the items to Wang Ziyan.

"Uh-huh!"

After Wang Ziyan put the blueprints into her backpack, she handed them over.

Simultaneously.

Her gaze unconsciously drifted to Jiang Lai, who was filling the toilet with water.

There's a toilet in Chen An's room?

Furthermore, why would Jiang Lai fill the toilet with water?

and many more!

Could these bottles of water in my hand have been pumped from the toilet by them?!

Wang Ziyan seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Chen An saw through her thoughts and said calmly, "Don't worry, the bottles of water I gave you are clean mineral water. If you don't believe me, you can check them on the trading platform; there will be a notification."

"Oh, that's good."

Wang Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although toilet water might be drinkable.

But not seeing that it was poured from the toilet made me feel completely different from seeing it.

"I'll head back now. The residents and I are going to go out of the community again to see if we can collect some more resources."

"Okay, be careful."

Chen An nodded slightly.

He was naturally happy to say such cheap, flattering words.

It's free anyway.

It can also help build goodwill and establish a kind and generous persona.

This positive persona can sometimes have a surprising effect.

"Okay, thank you, Chen An."

Wang Ziyan left.

then.

Jiang Lai's sarcastic voice came through: "Yeah, thank you, Chen An~~"

"..."

Chen An looked at Jiang Lai with a mixture of helplessness and amusement.

It's amazing that she could imitate that smug tone.

"Why are you so hostile towards Wang Ziyan?"

"Because Chen An, you're a good person!"

Jiang Lai continued in a sarcastic tone.

This line was copied from Wang Ziyan.

She had seen Chen An and Wang Ziyan's chat history before.

"Is your butt itchy again?"

Chen An rotated his wrist.

It really does take hands-on experience.

"Go ahead and protect her, keep protecting that green tea bitch! Sooner or later you'll have squandered everything in our room..."

Jiang Lai looked disappointed.

It was as if she had been betrayed emotionally.

If Chen An hadn't known that exchanging a gold coin and a few loaves of bread for a blueprint wasn't a bad deal, he would have questioned whether he had made a mistake today.

Chen An suddenly stared intently at Jiang Lai, then smiled.

"Jiang Lai, are you jealous?"

"Who's jealous? What kind of relationship do we have? Why would I be jealous of you!"

Jiang Lai immediately retorted.

"When did I say you were jealous of me?"

Chen An chuckled.

Jiang Lai's expression and tone were almost tantamount to a self-destructing truck.

So it really was because of jealousy.

Although Chen An had never been in a relationship.

But he's not some clueless, clueless straight man.

He could sense before that Jiang Lai treated him differently.

He just couldn't be sure if it was just his imagination.

But after spending about ten hours together, he was pretty sure.

It's not an illusion.

Of course, Jiang Lai's emotions were definitely more than just jealousy.

However, Chen An had not studied psychology and could not fully understand it.

"You're so narcissistic. How could I possibly like you?"

Jiang Lai said dismissively.

But the tips of her ears were slightly red.

Of course, Chen An couldn't see that tiny bit of red.

To say whether Jiang Lai had any feelings for Chen An...

there must be.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to become his resident.

Wanting to live was one thing, but more importantly, it was not disliking Chen An.

The reason she disliked Wang Ziyan was...

It was because Wang Ziyan said she was conservative today, which made Jiang Lai lose face.

Wang Ziyan's reluctance to join boys' rooms stems from her conservative personality.

So, isn't Jiang Lai being promiscuous by joining a boy's room?

What's more, Wang Ziyan shamelessly asked to borrow gold coins, which made her even more annoyed...

Of course, most importantly, she saw that Chen An treated Wang Ziyan very well.

I feel that it's better than my attitude towards her.

This made her feel very uncomfortable.

She, a stunningly beautiful woman, gave her all, but Chen An didn't even glance at her.

But he eagerly fawned over other women.

snort!

While eating what's in my bowl, I'm eyeing the big, rotten radish in the pot!

This is infuriating!

But unfortunately, she was just a lowly servant and had no right to stop it.

All they can do is vent their anger verbally.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lai suddenly had an idea.

yes?

Why should I be so reserved and wait for Chen An to take the initiative?

If I took the initiative and won him over directly, wouldn't I become the lady of the room?

If that green tea prince Yan dares to take advantage of me again, I can openly and legitimately drive her away.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lai suddenly stared straight at Chen An.

"Jiang Lai, what's with that predatory look in your eyes?"

Chen An suddenly became alert.

This woman, just a second ago, firmly denied having feelings for him.

The next second, his expression suddenly became ambiguous again.

Is this... a sign that you've figured it out?

"Chen An, would you like to touch my leg?"

Jiang Lai gently lifted her denim shorts with one hand, deliberately stretching her long, black-stockinged legs out in front of Chen An.

She figured it out.

Since they're already living together, it's only a matter of time before something happens.

Since it's bound to happen sooner or later, why can't it happen sooner?

This way, she can become the mistress of the room sooner.

That would give them a reason to drive away other wild women.

Chen An looked at those long, black-stockinged legs and subconsciously raised an eyebrow.

He was thinking that it would take some effort to get something to happen between him and Jiang Lai tonight.

Unexpectedly, she took the initiative.

It was a bit unexpected.

But it also feels reasonable.

Jiang Lai is a very rational woman.

Her personality is evident from her decisive choice to join his room.

Girls like Wang Ziyan, who are hesitant and indecisive, can only make this choice after experiencing true despair.

Jiang Lai was able to foresee the consequences and convince herself to accept them.

With her rational and decisive personality, even without meeting Chen An, her chances of survival in this world would be higher than most people.

"Since you've sincerely invited me, then I won't stand on ceremony..."

Chen An was not a sexually impotent man like Liu Xiahui.

He won't refuse a beautiful woman who comes to him.

Moreover, regardless of Jiang Lai's thoughts and schemes...

Even with her current status as a resident, she can't harm him.

Since that's the case, what's there to hesitate about?

Chen An's hand went directly to the soft, black-stockinged thigh.

"It feels really good."

He was also breathing a little rapidly.

After all, he was still just a simple boy.

"Let's blow out the candles first..."

Jiang Lai's cheeks flushed.

My heart is racing uncontrollably.

She broke free from Chen An's hand, went over and blew out the candle, then turned off her own panel.

The room was plunged into complete darkness.

then.

Chen An made no attempt to hide his wolfish hunger.

"Wait, don't tear it..."

Jiang Lai wanted to say something more.

But then there was a tearing sound, as if something had been ripped apart.

The decadent music echoed.

The recliner creaked and swayed.
