Sister Mei was indeed a frugal woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People can't go long without salt, especially in June and July when he frequently exercises and sweats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's as if he's losing salt every day, so the salt intake is definitely low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had stockpiled a lot of salt before, and now with the system, he might get more salt at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Yang Mei and said, \"No need to save salt in the future. I bought a lot before, and it's enough for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei quickly nodded, terrified, and said, \"I... I know, little brother, I'll remake it right away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan waved his hand, \"We'll leave it as it is today. Where's the rice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, I'll go get it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei quickly served the rice, a big bowl full, scraping down even the last bit from the pot without wasting a grain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She placed the bowl in front of Liang Yuan, and coaxed, \"Little brother, the rice is here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smelling the fragrance of the rice and the aroma from the meat on the table, she couldn't help but salivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She swallowed her saliva and said, \"Here you go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan took the bowl and looked at her, \"How much do you usually eat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei hurriedly said, \"I eat very little, a piece of bread in the morning is enough, I'm not hungry at all now, you don't need to worry about me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was afraid that Liang Yuan would think she ate too much and would drive her away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she finished speaking, her flat stomach growled loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made her pale face instantly flush with embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan saw this and said plainly, \"Go get another bowl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was stunned for a moment, not daring to ask more, and quickly found a small bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Handing it over, she said self-reproachfully, \"It's my fault, there's so much rice, it could be divided into several meals. I'll put it in the fridge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she was about to divide the rice, Liang Yuan reached out and pressed her fair hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this touch, Yang Mei felt like she was electrocuted, and she quickly pulled her hand back with a little scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pale face blushed, and her eyes were filled with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan took the spoon, divided half the rice into the small bowl, and said, \"Eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't say much, grabbed his chopsticks, and started eating the shredded pork with potatoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei couldn't believe her eyes, she looked at Liang Yuan, then at the rice in the small bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked in astonishment, \"Is this... is this for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her home, Li Zhiqiang wouldn't even let her have a sip of noodle soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Liang Yuan to suddenly give her a bowl of rice, she could hardly believe her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't you eating?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei couldn't hold back any longer. She had starved for two days, and the bread she had in the morning was long digested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't care less, hurriedly picked up the rice bowl, grabbed the chopsticks, and excitedly said, \"I'm eating, I'm eating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ate voraciously, mumbling as she ate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rice filled her mouth, and she barely had time to chew, the long-missed aroma of rice attacking her taste buds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She swallowed it down, feeling the deliciousness to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her burning stomach seemed to be filled with food all at once, giving her a comfortable feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she ate, tears started streaming down her face, and she suddenly began to sob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan paused, turning to look at her, \"Why are you crying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's so... so delicious. I... I haven't had rice for so long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rice you lent us was finished half a month ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These days, we've been surviving on biscuits, snacks, and instant noodles, one meal a day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I'm just too emotional. Little brother, thank you... thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cried while speaking, choking as she recounted her hardships over the past few months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding someone to confide in, she told Liang Yuan all the suffering she endured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan sighed inwardly after hearing her story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhiqiang really was something else, hoarding food while she starved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, marriage ties easily break in the face of disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a survival crisis, marital bonds are unreliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially in an arranged marriage like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei was undoubtedly a good woman. If he were Liang Yuan, he would have divorced long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei actually endured all that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And during the meal, she was well-behaved, only eating rice, not touching the shredded pork and potatoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan couldn't bear it and said, \"Don't just eat rice, have some dishes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei quickly shook her head, \"No, it's alright. I'm fine with rice. Little brother, you should eat the dishes. If there's any left, save it for dinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan, helpless, forced a large portion of the shredded pork and potatoes onto her plate. Only then did she fearfully thank him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meal ended just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Liang Yuan could get up, Yang Mei stood up first and said, \"I'll do the dishes, little brother, don't move, leave it all to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan let her clean up, his gaze falling unconsciously on her gourd-shaped figure, particularly the torn stockings under her short skirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fair long legs revealed a bit of smooth white skin through the torn stockings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slight pressure marks had a weird sort of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath and walked toward the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei, hearing footsteps, instinctively wanted to turn around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before she could, a strong male scent surrounded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan had already hugged her from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei trembled all over, panicking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little brother, you... you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was frightened, holding onto those rough hands, wanting to pry them off but afraid of angering him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She heard heavy breathing behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wash the dishes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei's trembling body felt his head buried in her hair, deeply inhaling her scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Goosebumps rose all over, and her legs felt weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little... little brother... don't...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a cry, clearly feeling his hands moving down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dared not resist at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan felt a surge of heat as if he wanted to meld this woman into his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, a tear fell on his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was stunned, slowly turning her around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei was silently crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All his desires were instantly extinguished. He withdrew his wandering hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan frowned, confusion in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can I force her into something like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How am I any different from Liu Erlong and the others?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regaining his sanity, he took a deep breath, suppressing the beast within, and stepped back, saying, \"Wash the dishes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he turned and walked toward the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mei stared blankly at his departing figure, collapsing weakly beneath the sink.\u003C\u002Fp>",1207,"2026-05-29T17:51:39.527Z","2026-06-01T04:29:53.098Z",1,"novelbin.me","76edd7ff0d8675ed25214a8af39632768db148a76aa5158c39c5561e095ad153","apocalyptic-flood-sexy-beauty-neighbor-s-midnigh-chapter-354","apocalyptic-flood-sexy-beauty-neighbor-s-midnigh-chapter-353",1292,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalyptic-flood-sexy-beauty-neighbor-s-midnigh-cover.jpg"]
