Lin Cainin continued, "We still have five packs of instant noodles, and three bags of ramen. There's also half a bottle of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce in the kitchen, but we ran out of steamed buns and dried noodles a long time ago."Fang Yuqing, in agony, held her head. "Instant noodles, instant noodles! Those things can't possibly fill us up!"Lin Cainin fixed her gaze on Fang Yuqing. "Yuqing, the situation outside is getting worse by the minute. Do you think this heavy snowfall will ever stop?"Fang Yuqing hesitated for a moment, then turned her head to look out of the window.Through the frosted glass, she could vaguely see the snowflakes continuously falling from the sky.It had been ten days, and the snow had fallen continuously for a full ten days, without a moment's respite.The second floor was completely submerged, making it impossible to leave.And the distant streets were silent, with no sign of the official snowplows.Fang Yuqing's heart sank to the bottom, overwhelmed by despair.She had no idea how long this snow disaster would last.Or perhaps, it might never end?Fang Yuqing covered her eyes, crying in pain, "Ning Ning, what are we going to do? If this continues, we'll starve to death."Lin Cainin clenched her fists, asking, "Is there still any food left with Zhou Peng?"Fang Yuqing shook her head. "I've asked him several times, even pretending to befriend him. But he's really been drained by me, not a drop left.""Last time he brought me two packs of instant noodles, and that was his last bit of food. He's so thin now, like a zombie; there's no way he has anything to eat."Lin Cainin, not willing to give up, said, "Then, is there anyone else we can try?""You see, the two of us are so beautiful. As long as we make a move, some men are bound to be attracted to us!"Fang Yuqing glanced at her, somewhat dissatisfied, "Are you naive? Right now, everyone treats supplies as their lifeline.""Even if they might be attracted to us, it's not going to be that easy for them to give us their supplies.""Besides, it's so cold, even if we offer ourselves on a silver platter, they might not have the energy."As Fang Yuqing said this, a look of pain flickered in her eyes.Lin Cainin didn't know that Fang Yuqing had actually tried this method a long time ago.She had attempted to exchange supplies with men using her beauty as leverage.The results, however, were not as expected. She had set her standards too high—demanding a minimum height of 1.85 meters, a government job, and a monthly income of 5,000 yuan before considering a man worthy.Even the sixty-year-old neighbor had said, "You're too late. If you had come half a month earlier, I might have had the energy."Lin Cainin bit her lip, feeling very afraid.As a woman with a bit of charm, she had originally planned to rely on her beauty as a last resort for survival.However, the cold weather had clearly become a perfect antidote to any desires.Suddenly, the image of a man appeared in her mind.She said to Fang Yuqing, "By the way, Yuqing, did you forget that you still have a 'lick dog'?"Of course, Fang Yuqing knew who Lin Cainin was talking about.She pursed her lips and stubbornly said, "Hmph, that wretched man. Unless he comes to kneel and beg for my forgiveness, I will never take the initiative to contact him!"She had tried to contact Zhang Yi several times before, hoping to give him a chance to come and offer her supplies to win her favor. However, Zhang Yi's attitude towards her had been too cold, and he had even sent her photos to deliberately provoke her.This had infuriated Fang Yuqing, and she had vowed to make Zhang Yi come over and lick her feet.If she took the initiative to contact him now, wouldn't she ruin her image as an aloof goddess?No, that was absolutely unacceptable to Fang Yuqing!Her image was tarnished, and how would she find another rich second-generation man in the future?Lin Cainin said, "Have you forgotten that Zhang Yi's family had previously hoarded quite a bit of food? Even if it's been a month, they still have more than ordinary households.""As long as you make a move and find him, he'll definitely agree to bring you some food."Upon hearing the word "food," Fang Yuqing's heart stirred.But she hesitated and said, "But, when I approached him before, he was so cold."Lin Cainin said, "Are you foolish? He probably thinks he's not worthy of you, so he wanted to give up. After all, not too long ago, you were quite cold to him."Fang Yuqing suddenly became excited."That's because he's just a minor middle-class guy pretending to be a rich second-generation. He made me waste so much emotion!"Lin Cainin grinned and said, "But he's now a high-quality backup option! The role of a backup is to be there when needed, right?""As long as you show him a little favor, reignite the spark of hope in his heart, he'll do anything you ask."Continued...
