“No, I’ll just make my own food!”

Shirley rejected Bick’s good intentions without hesitation. She had a bad impression of Bick now. She was such a beautiful woman, but Bick only cared about picking up supplies. Moreover, after saving her, he was still so stingy that he only left a little basic supplies.

How could such a person treat her to good food?

Shirley curled her lips and made a wooden paddle first, deciding to stay away from Bick.

However, as soon as the paddle was made, she smelled a fragrance. Then, her stomach grumbled.

“I’m so hungry…”

She struggled in her heart. After all, she had nothing now, and the feeling of hunger would last for a long time.

Moreover, the smell of grilled fish coming from the opposite side was too strong.

Shirley had made a small grill before, but the grilled fish that she grilled herself did not smell like this at all.

“Why is it so fragrant?”

“No! No, no, no, no, no!”

“I can’t stand it anymore…”

Shirley struggled in pain. When she was hungry, the smell of food was simply irresistible.

At this moment, Bick greeted Shirley again.

“Are you really not coming? Are you going to starve until tomorrow? I have plenty of food here!”

“I…”

Shirley hesitated for a moment. She couldn’t bear the feeling of hunger and finally nodded. “O… Okay!”

Before she finished her words, Shirley had already started rowing towards Bick. She didn’t realize that her body was actually so honest to the food.

It did not matter if she did not get close to Bick’s raft. When Shirley got closer to take a look, she was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.

“He’s actually so rich…”

She saw that at the front of Bick’s raft, there were two huge weapons that looked like crossbows. They seemed to be able to shoot spears.

She had just seen spears shot into the group of pirates. It seemed to be this thing. However, he actually built two of them. Did he have an endless supply of resources?

Behind the two weapons was a water purifier, two barbecue grills, and a smelting furnace.

With Shirley’s wealth, she had only built an ordinary water purifier and a small barbecue grills. However, Bick had actually built so many things.

This was not the most exaggerated part. When she looked back, Shirley actually saw a banana tree that was about to mature. Looking down from the banana tree, she saw three miniature farms…

Not to mention that Shirley could not get seeds and soil, she even would not be able to gather enough basic materials if she needed to create three miniature farms.

After bypassing the three miniature farms, she saw a relatively spacious space. There was a huge storage box and a small table.

The small table had just been built by Bick. This time he had collected a large amount of resources from the pirates. Now that the materials were abundant, he wanted to improve the quality of life and build a dining table to use.

However, in order to save space, he built a short wooden table. This kind of table could be used on the floor, so he did not need to make chairs.

“Sit.”

Bick had Shirley sat down. He took out strawberries from the storage box and placed them in the middle of the short table as a side dish.

He was not very generous, but the strawberries were not easy to store. If he did not eat them, they would go bad.

At this time, the two grilled fish were ready. Bick placed them in the big wooden bowl in front of Einstein and Shirley.

“You two eat first.”

“Ou, ou! Ou, ou!”

Einstein nodded excitedly, and Shirley was a little stunned. However, she really liked the seagull. Its fur was beautiful, and it looked especially smart.

However, when the aroma of the grilled sea fish rushed towards her, Shirley could not care about anything else.

No matter how beautiful and cute Einstein was, she could not resist the temptation of delicious food. The perfect grilled sea fish was delicious. Needless to say the strawberries, ever since she entered this apocalyptic world, Shirley had never seen them.

After a while, Shirley seemed to have changed into a different person.

“This grilled fish… is really too delicious. Can I eat another one?”

“Strawberries! So sweet!”

“Can you leave the last strawberry for me…”

“I’ll eat the last fish, the last one!”

…

Bick naturally would not be stingy with a few grilled sea fish. He just felt that Shirley had eaten until she was full, yet she still wanted to continue eating.

At this moment, Shirley actually felt a little reluctant to leave.

She burped as she enjoyed the last grilled sea fish. In her heart, she was wondering if Bick would consider letting her stay and live with him.

It seemed that she had eaten too much to her heart’s content. Her current thoughts were very simple. She just wanted to eat and drink by Bick’s side. After all, her days had been too hard for the last few days!

Not to mention the delicious food, even if she wanted to eat to her heart’s content, it would be an extravagant wish. Most of the time, she could only rely on fresh water, which caused her to lose a lot of weight.

However, Bick did not ask her to stay overnight on his raft. As for spending the night together on the endless sea, that was even more impossible.

Shirley was a little disappointed, but she seemed to feel particularly lucky. She was glad that she did not entrust herself to a stranger for a meal.

Before getting back to her raft, Shirley and Bick got to know each other’s names and parted hastily.

The two rafts, one on the left and the other on the right, slowly moved away.

Bick was sitting on his raft, sorting out the large amount of materials he had harvested today. From time to time, he would look up and see Shirley looking at him again.

After being attacked by pirates, rescued by Bick, and then ignored by Bick, Shirley was somewhat depressed.

But now she somewhat understood Bick’s approach. After all, it was the end of the world, and everyone was working hard to survive.

If she were him, she would definitely collect all the materials that she could collect and desperately expand the raft to strengthen herself. Otherwise, when she was in danger, it would be extravagant to even protect herself.

Bick’s actions were definitely not heartless or selfish. Otherwise, he would not have saved her at all, much less left some resources for her. He even treated her to a delicious dinner.

She swore that she would never forget the delicious grilled sea fish. Today, she ate four in one go, but it seemed that she had not eaten enough.

When she thought of this, she could not help but burped again. Suddenly, she felt that her beauty temperament seemed to have been ruined in front of Bick’s dining table.

“Is it because of this that he doesn’t want me to stay…”

Realizing that she had lost her composure, Shirley suddenly felt a little annoyed. She looked at Bick’s raft again, but it was too far away. She only saw a small black dot moving back and forth on the raft. She did not know what he was doing.

Shirley laid down and looked at the rare bright moonlight, pouting.

“Humph! We will meet again sooner or later!”
