Chapter 88: Long-winded Concern

Ji Changqing hummed, "It can be blocked, rest assured."

The words "rest assured" touched He Rui's heart. For a moment, he felt more touched than when he received a carbon steel bed and a meal.

After all, he had never thought that in such a disaster-stricken environment, Ji Changqing would say something caring to him, such as promising his safety.

He Rui was moved and said, "Brother Ji, don't worry. No matter what crazy you do in the future, I won't misunderstand you. Even if I wake up in the middle of the night and see you sharpening a knife next to my head, I won't suspect that you want to kill me."

"You can be forgiven for misunderstanding the situation of sharpening a knife in the middle of the night." Ji Changqing raised his eyebrows slightly.

"No! I believe you! You are a good person."

Upon hearing this, Ji Changqing curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, thinking sarcastically that if he was considered a good person, then the definition of a good person was too broad.

But he was too lazy to argue and tacitly accepted the other party's description of him as a good person. He just asked, "Is your stomach uncomfortable?"

He Rui reached out and touched his stomach, feeling it carefully, and nodded, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

"Since you don't feel uncomfortable anymore, put on your protective suit and go out with me." Ji Changqing said casually.

He Rui was caught off guard and stunned for a second. He didn't expect that he would have to walk out of the safe house that seemed isolated from the end of the world so soon.

He was a little nervous, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and nodded in agreement, "Okay!"

Although he was curious and confused, he did not take the initiative to ask the reason and purpose of going out.

Although Brother Ji personally admitted that he was a friend, he was also someone else's subordinate and a soldier in Ji Changqing's hands.

His elder brother led him in action, and he just followed.

The protective suit, the one he had thrown to Ji Xinghan before. Apparently, the evildoer was prejudiced against him and disliked the fact that it was given by him. He did not take it yesterday and threw it in the aisle.

He Rui didn't want to take back the protective suit, even though it was an important piece of protective equipment, but he had bought hundreds of them and was too lazy to pick up the protective suit that had been touched by a bad person.

Remember, there are also protective suits in the supply box in the living room.

He Rui took out a new one from the box and started putting it on.

Halfway through putting it on, he saw the person waiting for him next to him didn't move, and he was puzzled for a moment, "Brother Ji, why aren't you wearing it? Don't just look at me, wear it too."

The tall man leaned against the partition, crossed his arms, and said in a calm tone, "I don't need it."

"Why don't you need it?" He Rui wondered, "Why don't you have to wear it, but I have to?"

"Am I as fragile as you? I have the protection of a domain and don't need this kind of thing. As for you, although you are also within the scope of the domain, it's better to have more insurance just in case." Ji Changqing explained.

Even though he spent sleepless nights and hours researching this inexplicably emerging field, until now, he still couldn't be completely sure whether this ability would disappear as suddenly as it appeared.

It is indeed worn as a precaution, to prevent stupid people from going out and getting killed by the sun.

As for himself, Ji Changqing thought.

Even though he didn't wear protective clothing during the last disaster, he still survived for five years.

I still hold a relatively indifferent attitude in my heart.

After all, I can't die.

He Rui stared at Ji Changqing for a moment. Although he could not see any emotion on the man's face, he always felt that something was not right when he thought about what he said.

"If it's an extra layer of protection, you can wear it. The more protection the better. There's a protective suit of your size in the area, so take it out and wear it."

He Rui was not in a hurry to put on the protective suit. Halfway through, he dragged half of the clothes and moved towards Ji Changqing with difficulty, wanting to reason with him.

"Don't be too confident. An extra layer of protection is always a good thing."

Because the temperature is now suitable, wearing protective clothing is much more uncomfortable and stuffy than before.

Within just two sentences, the half of his body covered by the protective suit had already started to sweat profusely.

"Don't bother me." The other party started to look cold again.

He Rui thought, since this person admitted that they were good friends and even made him a bed and pork ribs, then he could be braver and not be afraid of this person.

He decisively moved in front of the other person, held Ji Changqing's hand tightly to prevent it from being shaken off, and shook hands cordially.

He Rui also cut the background music into the popular song "Big Brother Welcomes You" on Earth, and conveyed the lyrics "Thank you for the sixty-six, thank you for having my big brother behind me, having you in this life is enough, big brother is very good..." to the other party's ears.

He persuaded him, "Brother Ji, just wear it." Then he added BGM and launched a double sound attack to see if he could persuade this guy.

"Heh." Ji Changqing listened to the strange music, his eyes narrowed dangerously. He sneered and threatened, "If you don't let go, I'll rip your hand off and make you a stewed pig's trotter."

He Rui immediately let go of the man and raised his hands in surrender.

Looking at the other person's fierce eyes, I suspected that I might have accidentally touched his bottom line.

Probably, if Ji Changqing has continuous physical contact with someone for more than three seconds, the flag for hitting will be triggered.

"Why are you talking so scary? Why don't you wear some protective gear, just in case?"

"I don't need to wear it. I've never worn it before, and I still survived." Ji Changqing said in a cold tone, his slightly twisted brows revealing a bit of irritation, and he looked at him impatiently.

Being stared at like this, He Rui stopped trying to persuade others. He silently pulled up his protective suit and continued to put it on, reflecting that he might have been too talkative.

He could sense that the other party was persuading him out of concern. Ji Changqing frowned slightly, stared at the young man for a few seconds, then took out a protective suit from his domain with an impatient look on his face.

After glancing at the other person's face, which was clearly showing a cloudy-to-clear expression, he put on his protective suit with a cold face.

He kept warning, "You may care whether I wear protective clothing or not, but remember, don't be nosy and show compassion to everyone you see exposed to the sun."

The other person's expression was dull for a moment before he smiled at him, "Why should I care about them? I can't even take care of myself."

Ji Changqing adjusted his clothes and nodded slightly, "It's better this way."

He planned to take this guy out to see the tragic situation outside before the couple on the sixth floor went upstairs to find this idiot, so that he could put away his inappropriate sympathy and stop doing things like opening the door to deliver protective clothing.

Kindness is a good quality, but when disaster strikes, simple kindness is not enough to save one's life among all kinds of natural disasters and the selfishness of most of one's peers.

Only if this idiot is hard-hearted enough, the road ahead will be easier.
