Chapter 46 Chapter 46 The two of them walked around for a long time before...

The two of them walked around for a long time before they found the small stall. There weren't many people lining up there, and the aroma of the pancakes was blown away by the wind bit by bit, seeping into the air.

Si Qixian tiptoed slightly and saw the sign: 20 points for one, 35 points for two. Like a relieved little animal, she quietly exhaled. If it were too expensive, she wouldn't be willing to buy it.

Walking to the stall, the middle-aged man dressed in linen lifted the white cloth covering the multi-grain pancakes. Hot steam rose from underneath, dazzling Si Qi's eyes.

With my vision obstructed, my sense of smell became more pronounced. The sizzling aroma of pancakes wafted up in wisps, as if polished and brown rice were ground into flour, then yeast and seasonings were added, kneaded into dough, rolled into pieces, pressed, and pan-fried in rapeseed oil.

Come to think of it, she and Si Ruxu hadn't eaten these things for a long time, things that were close to the mundane world and had the smell of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

I swallowed unconsciously, and the middle-aged man in front of me said something jokingly and with full of energy.

"Are you two from another base? Would you like to take a look at the pancakes? They are delicious. It's almost evening now. We have to queue so long during the day." The middle-aged man exaggeratedly made a long line with his hands.

"Then... take two." Si Qi said, then leaned slightly to the side. Then, with a guilty yet confident tone, he said to Si Ruxu: "Thirty-five points."

She completely forgot that the points on her bracelet and Si Ruxu's bracelet were bound together, and they both owned all the points.

But Si Ruxu didn't hate this feeling. She curled her lips, touched the instrument in front of her with her bracelet, then hooked up the two packaged pancakes on the table with her index finger and thanked the boss softly.

The boss jokingly said, "Your wife manages the money at home, right?"

Si Qi's ears felt hot again, "We are not..."

The next moment, Si Ruxu gently took Si Qi's hand and said to the boss with a smile: "Well, she spends money recklessly when she goes out."

"That's great. The young couple is living a good life. My wife manages the money at home. This point code is connected to my wife's bracelet. You are lucky to have a wife who manages the household well in this life."

Si Qi's ears were getting hotter and hotter, partly because she had given away Si Ruxu's two years' savings by herself, and she couldn't explain the other half of the reason.

It’s just that my heart felt soft and I was confused and lost.

In the past, they had a common bank card, and the remaining savings of both of them were deposited in the card.

Si Ruxu's family was wealthy, but after graduation, she stopped taking money from her family. The two of them initially squeezed into a small rental house, carefully calculating how to get the biggest discount to buy what they wanted.

Si Qi would save some money herself, but she would secretly buy things like roses that cost ten yuan a piece on the street, expensive internet-famous desserts from cake shops, and clothes from clothing stores that she thought suited Si Ruxu very well, and put them by their beds.

After one, two, and three times, Si Ruxu finally couldn't stand it anymore and took all of Si Qi's salary.

Although he gave her two hundred yuan in pocket money every month, Si Qi still bought her roses and desserts, but the frequency became less.

I would even save up for a few months and bring her the clothes I had been eyeing for a long time in the clothing store.

Thinking about it now, the memories and feelings of that time have gradually become old. Later, they moved to a bigger house and had their own home. Although they were not rich, they were each other's most solid support.

Si Ruxu unconsciously tightened her grip on Si Qi's hand and smiled gently, "Well, it's my luck to be with her."

After a long separation, every word was like arsenic mixed with honey, rolling around her lips, sweet and bitter, leaving a delicate and complex taste between her lips and teeth.

On the bracelet was the address of their residence that Luo Fenghe had given them.

"It's the ninth floor of the Psychic Core Building. Luo Fenghe actually gave you such an important position. He values ​​it so much."

The core building only has ten floors, and Luo Feng and I live on the top floor. Perhaps because the higher you stand, the clearer you can see the whole picture, so leaders usually live on the top floor.

As if she had thought of something, Si Ruxu gently squeezed Si Qi's hand and asked casually, "When you were recuperating, were you also living on the ninth floor?"

Si Qi shook his head: "No, I live on the tenth floor."

"With Luo Fenghe?"

"Well, the tenth floor is a suite, and we're both in different rooms."

The smile on Si Ruxu's lips faded a little, but Si Qi didn't notice it.

More and more people were walking on the road, and all kinds of sounds were heard.

The hearing of people with special abilities is naturally better than that of ordinary people, and after becoming special abilities, they talk less and less, let alone many people gathering together to talk about something.

So at this time, when all these words fell into her ears, Si Qi was a little uncomfortable at first. She looked blankly at an old woman in the middle of the group of people.

"Speaking of this savior, she must be different from others. Just look at this face, this fair and clean little girl. Tell me, besides our base commander, who else has this appearance?"

Before anyone could react, Si Ruxu took the confused Si Qi's hand and walked into the crowd, quietly standing at the outermost circle.

"Come on, everyone has a photo of this savior now, do you really need to tell me what she looks like?" An old man next to Si Qi held up a photo in his hand, and a colorless black and white photo of her caught his eye.

Si Qi: ...

"They're all just nonsense, selling dog meat under the guise of lamb meat. Let's all go home and eat."

"Wait! Next, there really is a shocking secret."

The old man paused and waved the palm-leaf fan in his hand: "Then tell me, don't keep me in suspense."

"This savior has a little girl who never leaves her side."

"It is said that she is a high-level psychic from the base next door. She is powerful and beautiful. When the savior was framed and about to be sucked into the black hole, she broke the black hole and allowed the savior to survive."

"After the black hole was shattered, she went through untold hardships and found the Savior. She went into the Great Suppression with her and treated her illness. It is said that she now takes good care of the Savior's food and drink."

After she finished speaking, she looked around again, then lowered her voice and said, "My niece works at the exchange office. I saw them today. They exchanged a sixth-order superpower core, and they also have a lot of first- and second-order ones. They have a very good relationship and are inseparable."

Inseparable? She and Si Ruxu?

Is there?

She touched the pancakes in her arms, gave one to Si Ruxu, then lifted her mask and took a bite. The pancake was baked crispy, and the aroma of rapeseed oil mixed with the taste of millet in the pancake itself.

Her eyes lit up and she took another big bite, her mouth full. She turned around and saw Si Ruxu looking at her with a pancake in her hand. Without intending to eat it, she pointed vaguely at the pancake in Si Ruxu's hand.

Eat it quickly! It’s delicious!!!

As if she could hear Si Qi's thoughts, Si Ruxu bent her lips and took a small bite. Although it wasn't as good as the multi-grain pancakes from before the apocalypse, it was still quite rare to be able to eat these in the apocalypse.

Si Qi took a few more bites before noticing that the surroundings were unusually quiet.

The mask that was already half removed from his face fell to the ground with a click. Si Qi's cheeks stiffened for a moment as he chewed something, and he chewed again subconsciously, staring blankly at the rows of cameras in front of him.

A flash of light stung her eyes and hurt them.

A roar erupted from the crowd: "Which brat turned on the flashlight?"

There were also some screams mixed in: "That person next to her is Si Ruxu, it must be Si Ruxu!"

"The young couple is so sweet!"

"Why is this kid talking nonsense? How can these two girls be a couple?"

"Old man, it's the end of the world and you're still so feudal. Now two girls can not only be together, but they can also raise children!"

"Yeah, who's the child's surname then?"

Before the crowd swarmed over, Si Qi, biting a piece of bread, disappeared from the spot with Si Ruxu, leaving behind a pair of masks lined up.

After landing on the ninth floor, Si Qi staggered a few times a little unsteadily, and dropped a few fallen leaves that had gotten on his feet at some unknown time.

The pancake is steady in my hand.

Si Qi continued to chew the remaining bite, and after swallowing it, he took a sip of the water Si Ruxu handed to him, and his flushed face gradually recovered.

She turned sideways and put down the pancake in her hand. When she turned around, she was surrounded by a small circle of familiar scent again.

The two people's breaths were intertwined and airtight. Si Qi could feel Si Ruxu's hot breath on the side of his neck.

"What's wrong?" She reached out to brush away the strands of hair that were blocking Si Ruxu's ears, and only then could she see the hint of gold in her amber eyes.

"I want to ask you...what that uncle said just now." Si Ruxu's tone was very confusing, and her lips curved slightly, but there was a hint of shyness and temptation hidden in her words.

"If I have a baby in the future, whose surname should it take?"

"You still want to leave a high-level child for the base?!" Si Qi widened his eyes and looked over in disbelief.

She had never known that Si Ruxu was so obsessed.

"It's not for the base." Si Ruxu avoided Si Qi's gaze, but her voice became smaller and smaller. "It's for us."

Si Qi finally understood what he meant and sat down on the chair a little awkwardly.

She hadn't really considered... after the apocalypse was over, maybe this age would be just right...? !

This thought went around in circles in my brain for a long time before I finally realized it.

"Are we... that familiar?" She was bewildered. They were quite familiar with each other, but not close enough to have children.

"Can we be so familiar with each other?" Si Ruxu obviously did not give Si Qi a chance to retreat. Her eyes seemed to be blurred by the night, and the moonlight from the window came in a little. Si Qi could see the nervousness and uneasiness in the depths of her eyes.

Perhaps because there was no response for too long, Si Ruxu moved closer, breathing ambiguously, like two branches growing out of a dead tree, dependent on each other, tightly entwined around each other, as if embracing each other to the bone marrow.
