Bai Lianhua heard the sound of the car and immediately rushed out of the house with teary eyes. “Brother Ji, I was trying to make porridge, but I accidentally burnt it. I’m sorry…”

Ji Zan glanced inside the house and said, “It’s alright, let’s have instant food tonight.”

Bai Lianhua quickly looked at Fu Shinan and said, “Actually, we don’t need to eat fast food. Since Miss Fu and Miss Man Yu are back, let them cook another meal.”

Fu Shinan replied bluntly, “According to labor, we should receive according to labor. Why should we help you with cooking?”

Bai Lianhua retorted, “I’m just learning. It won’t burden you to cook one more meal!”

Fu Shinan countered, “Did learning to cook burden you so much?” She regretted forming this team with Bai Lianhua and even thought of leaving, which would leave Ji Zan with no choice but to agree.

Bai Lianhua wanted to say something, but Ji Zan interrupted, “If you can’t learn, if you can’t do anything, then don’t eat!”

Bai Lianhua closed her mouth, feeling a greater crisis than before. Ji Zan never spoke so harshly to her before! Ever since Fu Shinan appeared, everything changed! She glared hatefully at Fu Shinan’s back and suddenly clutched her chest. “Ah, Ji Zan, I feel so uncomfortable, I can hardly breathe…”

“MO Cheng, go find some medicine for her!” Ji Zan said and went upstairs without looking back.

Fu Shinan sneered, thinking that Bai Lianhua was like she had a brain malfunction. Even if she achieved her goal, she wouldn’t stop. But for now, Ji Zan could still control her, so Fu Shinan didn’t bother. She arranged the scavenged items neatly, found a broken pottery bowl, and went outside with a shovel.

Seeing Fu Shinan’s calm demeanor, Man Yu felt a bit helpless. Bai Lianhua was getting more and more annoying. After a whole day of work, they still had to deal with her nonsense when they got back. She was starting to regret teaming up with Ji Zan. With someone like Bai Lianhua in the group, trouble was bound to happen sooner or later.

Fu Shinan went to the doorway, dug a little soil, placed it in the pottery bowl, added some water, and planted the seeds. She then brought the bowl back inside.

Man Yu wasn’t interested in this stuff. She found some cosmetics and happily gave herself a facial massage.

Watching Man Yu enjoy herself, Fu Shinan felt a little envious. Man Yu’s attitude was genuinely positive. But Fu Shinan couldn’t be like that, perhaps due to her profession. She tended to overthink things, imagining all sorts of possibilities, which was an internal struggle in itself.

For example, now she knew these seeds couldn’t survive. Without sunlight, how could plants photosynthesize? However, she couldn’t help but wonder, “In the end times, who knows if there might be miracles? Even the slightest possibility is worth holding onto.” As she touched the pottery bowl, she couldn’t resist imagining how the seeds might sprout. Suddenly, her vision flickered, and she seemed to see the seeds sprouting?

But that was impossible. Even if they sprouted, it couldn’t be this fast. Yet, when she looked down, she was astonished to find two tender green shoots growing at the bottom of the bowl. She was shocked and reached out to touch the young leaves, feeling a strange connection, as if those leaves were an extension of herself. She even saw the veins on the leaves…

Fu Shinan, with a shocked expression, opened her mouth wide. Suddenly, Manyu approached and said, “Hey, what are you looking at so intently? I’ve been calling you several times. Why don’t you put on a face mask?” Following Fu Shinan’s gaze, Man Yu took a glance and her eyes widened in astonishment. “Am I seeing things? Are these the seeds you just planted? How did they grow so quickly?”

Fu Shinan nodded, feeling numb. “Ah…”

After recovering from her shock, Man Yu ran outside and exclaimed, “Professor Feng, come and take a look! It’s alive!”

Professor Feng nearly stumbled as Man Yu dragged him along. Throughout the journey, Man Yu excitedly kept saying it was alive, leaving him bewildered. When they reached the window, he almost dropped his jaw in amazement. He saw a small sapling with two tender leaves growing!

“It actually sprouted?” Professor Feng’s eyes became teary with excitement. Just imagine, in the face of such a catastrophe, if all living things couldn’t grow, what hope could there be? They were merely counting down to death by being alive.. But now, hope had appeared!
