Cooking Gourmet Meals in the Apocalypse

Chapter 170: Chapter 167: Brother Jin

Hao Wenli took the full force of the whip.

She screamed in pain and collapsed to the ground, bursting into tears.

Still not satisfied, Li Tong raised her whip again.

More than anything, she hated being called ”little sister.”

’Is it my fault that I’m young?’

’I want to grow up too, but time passes so slowly. I want to hurry up and be worthy of Brother Jin, but that takes time!’

’But Brother Jin always has so many women around, one after another, all because he thinks I’m too young.’

’I *am* young—only seventeen. Is that my fault?’

’If anyone’s to blame, it’s my parents for having me so late.’

’If I’d been born just a few years earlier, I could have married Brother Jin and had his children by now.’

But her whip never landed. Brother Jin grabbed her arm, stopping her. ”Tongtong, beautiful women aren’t for hitting. They’re for cherishing!”

Li Tong’s grip tightened.

’This is exactly why I hate these mature women, isn’t it?’

But she couldn’t disobey Brother Jin.

Otherwise, he would abandon her, cast her aside.

She suppressed her anger and lowered the whip. ”Since Brother Jin likes her so much, you can have your fun with her!” she said, her voice dripping with jealousy.

Brother Jin stepped forward and helped the trembling Hao Wenli to her feet. His eyes held a trace of tenderness. ”Are you scared, beautiful? My little sister here has a bit of a temper. Don’t mind her.”

Hao Wenli was speechless.

’I’d love to tear that girl to pieces.’

’But how could I possibly dare?’

Instead, she forced a wronged yet gentle smile. ”It’s fine. She’s just a kid. It’s only natural for them to make mistakes.”

As she spoke, she looked up, and her gaze instantly softened.

Before her stood a man so handsome it was impossible to look away.

His face looked like it was sculpted, with sharp, distinct angles. His eyes were like gentle crescent moons, his nose was high and well-defined, and his lips were like irresistible, succulent peaches.

She had always thought Yan Junxi was the pinnacle of handsome.

But this man was easily his equal, and possessed a rugged masculinity that Yan Junxi lacked.

She was completely captivated.

Yu Heng, however, was not pleased.

’Just a moment ago she was moaning so sweetly for me, and now she looks like she’s ready to strip naked and offer herself to this guy!’

’What a bitch.’

Behind them, Li Tong was just as furious.

’Not only did this slut call me a kid, but now she’s acting all cheap and flirty in front of Brother Jin?’

Her jealousy flared. She sauntered over to Yu Heng, a smirk playing on her lips. ”Hey, handsome, is that your girlfriend? She’s seducing another man right in front of your face. Can you really stand for that? If it were me, I’d have to kill her.”

Yu Heng sneered, but his tone toward Li Tong was pleasant. ”Don’t be ridiculous, beautiful. That kind of trash is beneath me. We’re just friends, that’s all!”

Li Tong shot a glance at Hao Wenli, the mockery in her eyes deepening. ”You didn’t look like ’just friends’ in the car a minute ago.”

Hao Wenli’s face flushed crimson.

’Does that mean... they saw what we were doing?’

She glanced timidly at Brother Jin.

When she saw he didn’t seem to care in the slightest, she relaxed a little.

”Oh, come on, beautiful. Don’t be so old-fashioned,” Yu Heng said, switching into full-on shameless mode. ”We were just satisfying a mutual, biological need. It’s nothing more than that!”

This was his true nature.

To him, Hao Wenli was just an object for satisfying his physical urges—completely interchangeable with anyone else.

”I like this one!” Li Tong said, pinching Yu Heng’s cheek with a hint of fondness.

’Of course I’d like a handsome guy.’

Hearing this, Brother Jin made the decision for them. ”Since Tongtong likes him, he’s yours!”

Li Tong’s expression stiffened. After a moment of biting her lip, she replied with a playful smirk, ”Thanks for the gift, Brother Jin!”

The fabric over the spot where Hao Wenli had been struck was torn, and she shivered in pain. ”Brother Jin, it hurts so much!”

’I need to win Brother Jin over, make him listen to me and do my bidding.’

But then, Yu Heng suddenly pointed toward the back of the farmhouse. ”You’re Brother Jin, right? There’s a real beauty back there!”

’Since I can’t have her, I might as well offer her to Brother Jin.’

’If I can get on his good side, life will be sweet.’

’And... most importantly, once Brother Jin has his way with Chen Xing, I might get a chance to sleep with her too.’

Hao Wenli was speechless, her face draining of all color.

’Damn it!’

’If Chen Xing shows up, I’ll be completely overshadowed. How will I ever get Brother Jin to listen to me then?’

Hearing the words ”real beauty,” Brother Jin’s eyes lit up.

He was a natural-born predator who specialized in ”collecting” beautiful women.

In the apocalypse, no one cared if he took what he wanted by force, which only fueled his passion for pursuing beauties.

One of Brother Jin’s men ran to the back and returned moments later, his face alight with excitement. ”Brother Jin! Not only is there a beauty back there, but there’s also a huge, luxurious RV with a trailer attached! And it’s full of supplies!”

Hao Wenli was delighted at the thought of Chen Xing’s RV being confiscated.

’If I can’t have it, then neither can Chen Xing.’

Brother Jin and Li Tong went to the back together.

In the pitch-black darkness, the lights of the RV were strikingly bright.

And there, standing in the beam of the headlights, was Chen Xing. Dressed in a white tracksuit, her face was lifted slightly, her expression aloof. She looked like an untouchable pixie.

Brother Jin’s eyes instantly locked onto her. As his gaze fell upon Chen Xing’s snow-white skin, his heart skipped a beat.

Li Tong’s mood soured even further.

’This woman is practically custom-made for Brother Jin.’

’He always said he’d never met a girl who truly captured his heart, and that’s why he just drifted from one woman to the next.’

’And Chen Xing... she’s without a doubt the closest thing to his perfect woman.’

Li Tong felt a surge of panic.

’I’ve always wanted to grow into the kind of woman Brother Jin likes, but time is so cruel. I’m not grown up yet.’

’Now that his ideal woman has appeared, what am I going to do?’

The whip in her hand twitched, ready for action.

’I can’t just stand by and watch Brother Jin fall in love with another woman!’

’Sure, Brother Jin has had a lot of women, but that was just sex. There were no feelings involved. He could pull up his pants and walk away without a second thought.’

’But if *this* woman becomes his, what will happen to me?’

In an instant, her whip shot out, lashing directly at Chen Xing’s exquisitely, enviably perfect face.

’Even if Brother Jin hates me for this, I have to destroy her face!’

Chen Xing had a keen sense of speed and saw the attack coming clearly.

She watched the whip descend but didn’t move to dodge.

Because... she saw the man nearby move.

He was faster than the whip. He appeared in front of her and took the blow in her place.

”HSSS...” A sharp hiss of pain escaped Brother Jin’s lips.

Li Tong was terrified.

Her eyes instantly reddened. She dropped the whip and rushed to his side. ”Brother Jin, are you okay?” Her eyes welled up, tears streaming down her face like pearls from a broken string.

But Brother Jin didn’t even look at her. Instead, he looked down at Chen Xing with a worried expression. ”Are you okay?”

Chen Xing didn’t answer, her expression remaining as cold and unyielding as ever.

”Brother Jin... she’s acting like that and you’re still worried about her?” Li Tong clenched her fists, turning her palms upward as she began to gather her superpower.

’I’m going to kill this bitch who got Brother Jin hurt!’
