So Annoying

Because my heart is filled with confusion, what should I do next? How should I live? What should I do? In the past, my life was filled with reading, doing homework, and training, and I found it so annoying back then! I really wanted to break free from it all, but when I completely lost them, I found myself not knowing what to do.

I've lost everything, lost my parents, lost my home, lost... friends... My nose involuntarily tingled, and I immediately tightened my eyebrows. No, I told myself I can't cry. I can't sink into confusion and depression.

I suddenly understood why Emery didn't want me to be alone quietly. He must have noticed something; he didn't want me to be alone because if I was alone, I would surely fall into the abyss of confusion and be unable to extricate myself. I would just stare blankly, daydream, become lost and bewildered, truly turning into a fool.

No! I can't be still! I can't let my brain stagnate.

I thought for a moment, put the chocolate he gave me on the table, and then slowly unzipped the bag. Emery stood still, stretching his neck, curiously peering.

From the bag, I took out a piece of Ferrero Rocher chocolate...

"Chocolate! You have it too!" Emery expressed great surprise!

I placed my Ferrero Rocher chocolate in front of Emery. Because my mom has low blood sugar, there's always chocolate and beef jerky in my bag: "Here, thank you for saving me. This is hazelnut flavor."

"Hazelnut, hazelnut, hazelnut flavor!" Emery, as if receiving a sacred object, took the chocolate from my hand. Amber eyes widened to the maximum, as if seeing the most incredible thing in the world.

Then, I took out two more pieces and placed them on the table. Chocolate doesn't have a long shelf life, and it's meaningless to keep it in the bag. I wanted to give one piece to Asna and the other to... the children here.

"You actually have more! And they're so big!" Emery stared at the two larger chocolates I took out in amazement, his expression as if discovering a new continent or a magical artifact.

Next, I took out three bottles of water!

Yes, three bottles!

When my parents and I went on a trip, I was the pack mule! All the food for everyone at home went into my bag, but there was no phone or iPad!

My dad is too strict, saying he'll buy me a phone only after I finish high school. What era is this? My youngest cousin already has a phone in elementary school. I feel like I'm still living in the age of cavemen on top of a mountain.But, my dad is stubborn and old-fashioned. Luckily, my mom promised me that if I got into a top high school, she would secretly buy me an Apple [phone].

Now, my bag is full of food, and there's nothing useful!

"Water!" Suddenly, Emery's almost shrill exclamation startled me. I looked at him in confusion as he tremblingly picked up a bottle of Nongfu Spring water and rubbed it against his face. "Clean water... clean water..."

I looked at him, seemingly on the verge of tears, and wondered what was going on.

I suddenly remembered that when Asna bid farewell to Edmond, she also gave him water. But at that time, I didn't think it was abnormal. In this desert-like place, providing water seemed natural. However, seeing Emery's reaction now, water seemed truly precious.

"... Spring?" Emery looked at the mineral water bottle and then at Ferrero Rocher. "? Seems like I haven't seen this brand before."

I felt a pang of worry. Oops, I've been too careless again.

"Oh... it should be from somewhere else," Emery sighed while looking at the water and chocolate. "There are still many places in this world that I haven't been to."

I glanced at him and casually said, "I don't remember where I got these things from."

"I know." Emery hugged them again, looking at me excitedly. "From now on, this will be your home, and you bring us such precious things!"

Looking at his expression, it seemed that these easily accessible and eatable foods in my world were considered very precious here. If these foods were precious, and he recognized them, it meant that these foods had existed in this world before, and now, they must be scarce.

How could that be?

If these things became scarce, there was only one reason: this world lacked resources, not enough raw materials to make chocolate, so chocolate naturally became scarce.

I thought for a moment and reached into my bag. "How about... this one?"

He looked at me even more expectantly, as if my bag had turned into Doraemon's magic pocket, capable of producing many magical things.

Slowly, I pulled out one item: a green apple, an edible apple, not a phone.

But as this green apple appeared before him, he completely froze. I couldn't resist taking a bite of the juicy, green apple. I hadn't even bothered to drink water yet.

With a crisp sound, the fragrance of the apple instantly filled the room, and the sweet and sour juice moisturized my throat. I suddenly felt a sense of contented happiness. Then, I saw drool flowing out of Emery's open mouth!

This guy is drooling again!"Snap!" He abruptly grabbed my wrist, stared at my apple, and swallowed saliva. I immediately said, "Don't worry, I still..."

But before I could finish my sentence, he suddenly pulled me up and took me to the door, "Snap!" pressing a red button by the door! Immediately! The entire underground city lit up with red lights, like an alarm!

What's going on!

"Woo——————Woo——————" Alarms blared, causing anxiety.

Emery pulled me out of the door, standing in the corridor. In the next moment, people from the entire city crowded around. Instructor Celeste supported Elder Arufa, Bernice guarded Asna, Edmund hurriedly came while writing in his notebook, Uncle Ominic brought his investigation team, and the city guards and citizens, young and old, all gathered in the square below our building from all directions.

The alarm stopped, and the red lights no longer flashed.

Emery tightly held my wrist, his expression unusually serious and excited. The hand gripping my wrist trembled slightly with excitement, and he stared intently at the people below, not speaking for a long time.

The square fell silent, everyone looking up at him, with a slightly nervous and confused expression on their faces.

"Emery! What's going on?" Uncle Ominic looked at Emery sternly, obviously realizing that triggering the alarm was not a joke.

Emery's lips moved, but he didn't say anything for a moment. Everyone continued to be puzzled. Suddenly, Emery grabbed the hand I was holding the apple with and shouted, "Yvette brought us apples!"

He finally, instead of calling me his wife, called me Yvette!

And just as he finished this sentence, downstairs, it instantly became silent!

The two hundred or so people suddenly fell silent, as if they had all held their breath. They widened their eyes, stunned, and opened their mouths in astonishment, looking at the apple I held high in my hand, the one I had taken a bite from. Their gazes were so excited, and even a bit incredulous and disbelieving, as if people on the verge of despair in the desert finally saw water, as if someone terminally ill saw a cure!

" Edmund's notebook fell to the ground as he stared blankly at the apple in my hand. "Cle-clean?" He was so excited that he even stuttered a bit?

Emery nodded solemnly, "Yes! It's clean!"

"No contamination?" Uncle Ominic asked excitedly.

"No contamination!" Emery replied with excitement.

"Is it true?" Elder Arufa's voice almost trembled.

Emery, with a similarly trembling voice, said, "Yes! It's true!"
