Bai Chimian looked at her secretly peeking and asked, "Can you sleep?"

Chen Qian shook his head. "I slept for too long during the day and now I can't sleep."

In this hugging posture, Chen Qian's head rested on the other's arm, with his face facing the pink on his chest.

This...this...this is paid content, and it asked me to watch it.

Chen Qian half closed his eyes, and secretly lifted his eyelids to look every once in a while.

I really want to use my fingers to point and pinch it.

It seduced me!!!

"Paying users, you can watch it boldly."

"!!!" Chen Qian was startled and looked up in shock, but accidentally bumped into the other person's chin. "Hiss, it hurts!"

Bai Chimian released his hand from around her, and placed it on the spot on her head where she had been hit, gently massaging it. "There's no need to get so excited."

"Does it hurt?" Chen Qian felt guilty and didn't dare to talk back.

"It hurts a lot, and I need points to comfort myself." Bai Chimian's tone was lazy, and he didn't look like he was in pain at all.

Chen Qian was silent. "Are you short of points?"

“Originally, there was no shortage, but later…”

Later, all the dowry was handed over to the contract owner.

"..." Chen Qian was even more embarrassed. "How about I give it back to you?"

"No, I like to get it back bit by bit."

If you say so, I won't feel guilty.

I offered it to you, but you didn't want it, so you're trying to cheat me?

Then let’s start to intrigue against each other and rely on our own abilities!

Chen Qian put the claws he had retracted long ago back on his waist. His fingers touched his back, causing a slight shudder in his heart. "Ten points, no more."

"One million, no bargaining." Bai Chimian's dark blue eyes became deeper when he sensed the movement behind him.

"Oh~~~ Never mind." Chen Qian retracted his claws and placed them on his chest again. "One hundred points!"

Hehe, anyway, I have already touched it, so I won’t give you points.

"Tsk, is this how you play?"

Chen Qian pointed at the pink flower and said arrogantly, "It's such an expensive thing, why don't you try it?"

"So... do you want to experience it in depth?"

Chen Qian heard a dangerous message from this sentence... "...deeper?"

“Like, deeper communication.”

“!!! That’s totally unnecessary!!!” Although Chen Qian was very tempted, after all, they had only known each other for a few hours, so her mind was not that open!!!

At least, wait a few days to let her get familiar with it and digest it, right?

Cough cough.

Chen Qian's cheeks flushed red, and he didn't know what shameful thing he was thinking about.

"What are you thinking about? I'm talking about soul communication, to understand my inner self. And what you're thinking about is very expensive, I'm afraid you don't have enough points." Bai Chimian's voice was pleasant and a little teasing, and he lowered his head slightly to look at someone who was daydreaming and looking around.

Chen Qian clenched his fists, "I already understand, you deliberately made me misunderstand!"

"Hmm." Bai Chimian remained noncommittal.

The two chatted back and forth, and before they knew it, the one who said he was not sleepy had fallen into a deep sleep.

...

The next day, no one knew how Jiang Lingrui deployed his defenses outside the city. In any case, when Chen Qian was wandering around the city, the deep, tense seriousness on people's faces was gone.

Jiang Lingrui has begun preparing for the invasion of high-level female beasts and the space gap outside the city, and has begun investigating the abnormal situation of the beast tide in the north.

He was very busy and almost all his meals and lodging were spent in the garrison camp outside the city. He only occasionally found time to video chat with Chen Qian.

The post-war cleanup, accompanied by the burning of the fire, sent the heroes back to the embrace of their hometown.

That day, the deafening oath outside the city made everyone cry. They stood in the square, on the streets, and in the wards with sad faces... mourning for those heroic souls.

"My people are so great, and the mountains and rivers are in our arms."

"From the sky to the underworld."

"Use my body to protect my bloodline."

"My people are so great that we will fight to the death and never retreat."

Chen Qian wiped the corners of his eyes, but didn't hold it in anymore.

It must be because the people around me cried too much, so I was infected!

"Chi Mian, you are also a defender, don't you need to go over?" Chen Qian calmed down and turned to ask the noble man beside him. His outfit was really eye-catching, and although it was pure white, it was not out of place in such a scene.

But it looked weird no matter how you looked at it to see a person dressed in ancient style among a group of modern people.

"Respect the minority culture." Bai Chimian glanced at her, then tapped her forehead with a finger and turned her head back. "I'm the defender of S4 City, and Jiang Lingrui can't order me around."

"Besides, I'm on leave, and going to their garrison camp without permission is a violation."

What Bai Chimian didn't say was that S4 City is a city dominated by ethnic minorities, and the defenders there are different from those outside, as they are all organized by tribe.

Given his status in the clan, even if the district chief wanted to use him, he would have to think twice.

"Oh, there are so many twists and turns in there." Chen Qian didn't know much about this.

"Without rules, there is no order. Okay, go do something else."

"For example?" Chen Qian just wanted to lie down and die. Only one third of her strength had recovered.

"Buy a house. Jiang Lingrui is not in the shelter, and it's not convenient for two outsiders like us to stay there. Besides, are you planning to bring all of us to live there?" There was disgust in Bai Chimian's voice, and he was obviously dissatisfied with the house.

It is really safe, but it has no beauty at all. It doesn’t feel like a home, but more like a dormitory.

"I think this is okay. Is there a real estate agency here?" Chen Qian was not sure, so she clicked on the bracelet to check.

Bai Chimian's eyes were filled with surprise. She even knew about real estate agencies? This was an old thing from before the apocalypse... "You can search for the Urban Planning Institute and buy a house there."

Chen Qian paused while searching for an agency and switched to the Urban Planning Institute. She was thinking back to the past, "This has become an official transaction!"

"Hmm, where did you come from?" Bai Chimian glanced at her with suspicion.

Chen Qian suddenly tensed up. "Ahem...keep it a secret. We'll talk about this later. While it's still early and the weather isn't too hot, let's go look at the house."

As she spoke, she put on a mask and a hat, covering herself up out of habit.

She had already figured out the route, and it wasn't far, only about ten minutes away.

As she said that, she quickly pulled Bai Chimian away, fearing that the other party would continue to ask questions and she had not yet thought of what to say.

Bai Chimian's eyes were fixed on his hand which was being held tightly by the other party, and the corners of his mouth curled up in an elegant arc. The girl's hand was not very strong, but he seemed to be afraid that the other party did not hold it tightly enough, so he shook hands with her back.

He didn't continue to ask about the other person's little secrets.

No rush, really no rush.

There is still a long way to go.
