When the 'Heavenly Dog' devoured the sun, the apocalypse descended. Xu Zhi, a young girl with a heart condition, was cruelly abandoned by her parents in a dead city.
Countless mutated...
Although Xu Zhi still didn't feel sleepy mentally, her body really couldn't hold on any longer. So after confirming that feeding blood was still effective for the little alien, the glutton, she felt relieved and returned to her room and fell into a deep sleep.
I didn't sleep very long. I fell asleep around 3 o'clock and woke up around 8 o'clock in the morning.
When she opened her eyes, Qi Yanxin had already gotten up. Yesterday, after confirming that heavy fog would come, she went to the factory and brought home many small mechanical parts that needed manual repair. Breakfast was cooking in the pot, so she took the time to put the things on the table and tidied them up, planning to start "work" after dinner.
When Xu Zhi got up, she originally planned to get out of bed by herself because she had tried it when she went to bed last night. Although her body's recovery could not support her to walk like a normal person, she could still complete the movement from bed to wheelchair by herself.
However, considering what Qi Yanxin had said before and his own promise, Xu Zhi still planned to call her over. However, when this idea came up and he was about to implement it, Xu Zhi encountered the first problem.
These days, Qi Yanxin almost always took the initiative to talk to her, and the rare times she took the initiative to ask questions were immediately after Qi Yanxin spoke, which led to...
She had never addressed Qi Yanxin directly.
How should I address her now? Should I just call her by her full name? Would that be impolite? I've been taking care of her for nearly half a month!
But if I call him something else, wouldn’t that be too intimate?
Suddenly, Xu Zhi had an idea in his mind and thought of how Ye Ran usually addressed Qi Yanxin.
Sister Yanxin, what a suitable name. It reveals a hint of politeness in its familiarity, and a sense of closeness in its politeness. Okay, let’s use it!
Although she had already made the decision, Xu Zhi still felt a little awkward the moment she called out the word. She couldn't explain where this awkward feeling came from. Fortunately, although the voice was not loud, Qi Yanxin heard it immediately and rushed over.
"What's wrong?" She thought Xu Zhi was feeling unwell and walked in a hurry, but Xu Zhi just said that he was getting ready to get up.
"I see." The woman breathed a sigh of relief. "Do you want me to help you?"
She had gradually figured out that Xu Zhi was a little girl with a strong sense of self-esteem.
"No." As expected, Xu Zhi refused: "I called you over here just to show you that I can do it myself. You don't have to help me with everything like this in the future."
Simply put, she wanted to put on a show.
Qi Yanxin couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard that. Well, not only was he a child with a strong sense of self-esteem, he was also a child who was sometimes a little childish and stubborn.
"Okay." She nodded and stood aside, ready to watch Xu Zhi's "performance".
"But if it doesn't work, remember to call me, be careful not to fall."
Xu Zhi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. What's wrong?
Women can't say no!
When she slept at night, she couldn't control the continuous entry of extraordinary energy into her body, so she simply took it all in at once and fell asleep quickly. When she fell asleep, she wouldn't feel "hungry". However, even so, after a night's rest, she had recovered a lot of the vitality she had lost after feeding blood.
Now it’s just a matter of getting out of bed. Although it’s not easy, it’s still simple!
It only took Xu Zhi about two minutes to complete the remarkable feat of dragging her seriously ill body from the bed to the wheelchair. A thin layer of sweat had already formed on her forehead after she finished, but Xu Zhi raised her chin and looked at the woman standing in front of her as if nothing had happened. "See, I told you it's okay, right?"
Qi Yanxin seemed to be just watching from the sidelines, but in fact, her eyes were nervously watching Xu Zhi's strenuous movements. Only after Xu Zhi succeeded did she quietly breathe a sigh of relief: "Yes, very impressive, then you can do it yourself from now on?"
"Of course." Xu Zhi nodded.
"Okay." Qi Yanxin suppressed her smile: "Oh, by the way, why do you call me Sister Yanxin like Ye Ran?"
"Uh..." Xu Zhi's smug expression froze slightly. "That's what I saw her calling her."
"Are you the same as her? She is the neighbor's child, and you are my sister." Qi Yanxin said seriously: "So, you should call me sister."
Xu Zhi was silent for a while. If it were a few days ago, Qi Yanxin would probably ease the atmosphere at this time and say something like "let's talk about it later", but now she feels that the distance between her and Xu Zhi is a little less unfamiliar, and she has some understanding of Xu Zhi. Maybe, she can give it a try?
So the woman asked again in a gentle voice, "Is it okay? From today on, just call me sister."
Xu Zhi paused, and finally, under the woman's gentle gaze, he nodded uncomfortably, his tone a little reluctant: "Okay, sister."
The woman smiled with her eyes curved: "You're so nice. I made breakfast. Do you want some?"
"Yes." Xu Zhi nodded again.
There's nothing we can do about it, right?
Her body needs to eat now. Qi Yanxin has taken care of her for so long. It is reasonable for her to call her sister and she will not suffer any loss!
Right, there's nothing we can do about it.
Xu Zhi controlled the wheelchair and walked towards the dining table, mentally preparing himself as he walked.
Because she needed to stock up on more food and she didn't have much money left, the ingredients Qi Yanxin bought this time were not very good. However, Xu Zhi was not a spoiled person. She had suffered a lot so far, and the food was just a little bit unpalatable.
Although Xu Zhi thought so, Qi Yanxin obviously felt a little guilty.
"These are all you can eat for now. When the fog clears, I'll work harder and buy you something delicious."
Xu Zhi paused holding the spoon, then looked up and said, "No, my health should be better by then, and I don't have to eat delicious food. Aren't these good enough?"
"Anyway, everything you need to nourish your body is in the medicine."
In fact, it is all in the extraordinary energy. Now that she has woken up, she can control the flow of extraordinary energy in her body, which is much better than eating low-level food.
"How can that be?" The woman looked disapproving.
"You can save money on other things, but you're still recovering, so how can you save money on what you eat?"
If it weren't for special circumstances, even if she had to cut back on her clothes and food, she would not let Xu Zhi follow her to eat these foods that had no nutrition and could only barely fill her stomach.
Xu Zhi did not refute again because she knew that the woman had made up her mind and she could not persuade her with just a few words.
She could only silently calculate in her mind how long it would take for her body to recover and move freely, and then wait until the extraordinary circuit grew to a certain extent, and then find a way to make some money. Once she could make money, she would not have to live so financially.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhi was suddenly stunned.
Because she found that her plan was not to make some money and give it to the woman after she recovered and leave immediately, but to consider that "the life of the two of them will not be so difficult in the future."
