Even so, Zheng Wen’an didn’t want to fully reveal his thoughts to Liu Yiyi and Jiang Zhenzhen.

If one does not act for themselves, they will be condemned by heaven and earth. Although Zheng Wen’an teamed up with them to come to W City, he honestly didn’t want to deal with these two at all anymore.

It’s already hard enough for him to support himself, let alone take along two tagalongs.

"What I bought is for myself to eat, and I don’t have much balance left, so I can’t buy your portions too. You guys will have to figure it out yourselves."

Although Zheng Wen’an has a warm-hearted nature, when it comes to his own interests, he is very clear-headed.

He’s inherently selfish and self-centered, destined to not wrong himself for others.

His words successfully changed the expressions of Jiang Zhenzhen and Liu Yiyi.

"Brother Wen An, you’re joking with me, right?"

Shouldn’t a guy, when taking girls out, be the one to treat them?

Before the apocalypse, whenever Liu Yiyi and Zheng Wen’an went out, Zheng Wen’an would always foot the bill. At that time, he never complained, and even now, Liu Yiyi maintained her pre-apocalypse habits.

But unexpectedly, Zheng Wen’an blocked her argument with just one sentence.

Since he said he had no money, if she continued to be unreasonable, she might end up being kicked out of the base.

Liu Yiyi didn’t dare to stay out alone, so in the end, she could only compromise.

What else could she do if she didn’t compromise? Together with Jiang Zhenzhen, the two of them couldn’t possibly overpower Zheng Wen’an, a Level 3 Fire Ability User.

So, knowing they couldn’t win, they had no need to make things difficult for themselves (which is essentially bullying the weak while fearing the strong).

"Brother Wen An, my food storage is running low, and my balance isn’t enough. Can I borrow some from you first? I’ll repay you later."

Whether or not she’d actually repay him is a matter for later; Liu Yiyi simply wanted to get something from Zheng Wen’an without giving anything in return.

Jiang Zhenzhen stood beside her, looking at Liu Yiyi in disbelief.

"Yiyi, didn’t you hear just now? Mr. Zheng said his balance is also low, and he cannot supply us with food.

After buying his own food, Mr. Zheng likely doesn’t have money left to lend you."

As she spoke, Jiang Zhenzhen shyly glanced at Zheng Wen’an.

Sure enough, Zheng Wen’an’s gaze towards Jiang Zhenzhen changed subtly.

However, with Liu Yiyi still there, their exchange of looks couldn’t be too blatant.

And Liu Yiyi, after hearing Jiang Zhenzhen’s words, her face fell.
