Chapter 7 The Apocalypse 7

Hmph! How dare they make a move on her.

He wouldn't be able to get over this if they hadn't died.

Huo Xiao's gaze fell on the headless corpse. He grabbed Luo Xi's wrist and pulled her behind him.

He said to Luo Xi, "You should go back now."

"I can handle this body."

Luo Xi knew that Huo Xiao wanted to burn him with his fire-based abilities, so she replied, "Okay."

Instead of turning back, she walked around the farm.

She picked several tomatoes at random.

Luo Xi really likes to eat tomatoes. She dips them in sugar, and they're sweet and sour, which is both appetizing and delicious.

She saw a basket hanging on a small apple tree not far away, walked over, and used it to fill with tomatoes.

Luo Xi ran off and picked a few more cucumbers. The cucumbers were sour and delicious, so she added some chili powder.

Wow, it's so delicious!

No, I can't think about it anymore.

Luo Xi dug up a few more purple sweet potatoes, which were really fragrant and delicious when roasted.

After Huo Xiao finished disposing of the body, on his way back, he saw Luo Xi squatting in a vegetable field not far away, digging something up with heavy breaths.

He washed his hands first, and then walked towards where Luo Xi was.

Huo Xiao's gaze first fell on the plump, large, and white radish that Luo Xi had just pulled up, then it fell on the tomatoes in the basket. He smiled and asked, "Want some chicken stew with white radish for lunch?"

He told her what she wanted to eat, and she could tell him.

And if someone wants to eat something, the side dishes will always be prepared.

Luo Xi buried herself in her work, "Yes."

"Brother Huo, how about we have chicken stew with white radish for lunch?" she asked as she dug.

Huo Xiao's tone was slightly indulgent as he replied, "Okay."

"I'll go check on that fat chicken over there."

Luo Xi's attention was entirely on the radish. Without looking up, she simply said, "Okay, okay."

Huo Xiao glanced at Luo Xi again before walking towards the chicken farm.

The chicken farm was a bit small, with only a few dozen chickens, mostly hens.

Huo Xiao caught a hen and took it back, then killed it.

At noon, Huo Xiao was making chicken stew with white radish in the kitchen.

Luo Xi then started making sugar-coated tomatoes and pickled cucumbers in the kitchen.

Half an hour later,

Luo Xi took a sip of the soup, squinted her eyes, and praised, "Delicious."

Then she ate a particularly flavorful piece of chicken, saying, "It's so delicious."

She looked at Huo Xiao and said, "I feel so lucky to have met you in this apocalyptic world."

She meant it sincerely.

In the apocalypse, it's truly rare to find someone like Huo Xiao who cooks delicious food, doesn't cause trouble, and doesn't meddle in other people's business.

Huo Xiao's face turned slightly red. "If it's delicious, eat more."

Luo Xi: "Mmm."

Half an hour later, just after they finished lunch, more people arrived at the farm gate.

Luo Xi has gotten used to it.

At this very moment, Huo Xiao is roasting sweet potatoes in the kitchen.

Luo Xi said something to Huo Xiao and then walked out.

After a while, Luo Xi saw several people outside the farm.

One of them was someone Luo Xi knew; that person was her senior from university, Su Qingyuan.

She and Su Qingyuan were just acquaintances, not very close.

Su Qingyuan was pleasantly surprised to see Luo Xi. "Junior, I didn't expect to see you here."

Luo Xi greeted Su Qingyuan, "Senior."

After a moment, Huo Xiao came out.

He saw Luo Xi talking to a gentle-looking man, and they were talking for more than one sentence. He felt a surge of inexplicable irritation.

He couldn't resist, so he strode over, grabbed Luo Xi's hand, and pulled her back a step, away from Su Qingyuan.

Luo Xi: ? ? ?

Su Qingyuan saw it and was stunned for a moment.

What is their relationship?

Su Qingyuan looked at Luo Xi, "Junior, who is he?"

Luo Xi, without even blinking, spouted nonsense, "He is my savior, his name is Huo Xiao."

Huo Xiao: ? ? ?

When did he become her savior?

Su Qingyuan nodded to Huo Xiao, his eyes darkening.

Luo Xi said to Huo Xiao, "This is my senior from university, Su Qingyuan."

Huo Xiao nodded to Su Qingyuan as a greeting.

The man next to Su Qingyuan poked Su Qingyuan in the back.

Su Qingyuan understood, and he asked Huo Xiao, "Is this farm yours?"

Huo Xiao: "Yes."

Su Qingyuan smiled slightly, "It's getting late, may we go in...?"

Huo Xiao: "I'm not familiar with you."

"It's only noon now, it's not late."

Su Qingyuan's smile froze for a moment. "I know my junior."

Luo Xi said, "I can't make that decision."

"I'm also someone who 'freeloads'."

Su Qingyuan: !!!

Really?

He glanced at Huo Xiao, then at Luo Xi, who seemed a little afraid of Huo Xiao, and believed him.

Finally, Su Qingyuan and his group left.

evening,

Luo Xi walked briskly into the kitchen. The first thing she smelled was not the aroma of food, but the smell of vinegar.

She paused for a moment, then walked over to Huo Xiao, staring intently at the braised pork simmering in the pot, and asked in confusion, "Brother Huo, did you mistake vinegar for water?"

"The smell of vinegar is so strong."

Huo Xiao glanced at Luo Xi and said quietly, "Yeah, the smell of jealousy is strong."

Luo Xi found him a little strange. "Brother Huo, what's wrong?"

Huo Xiao: "Because I was jealous."

Luo Xi paused for a moment, then she remembered what happened at noon.

Huo Xiao said, word by word, "You're standing too close to him."

After saying that, he himself felt a little aggrieved.

Luo Xi: !!!

"Actually, I don't like that kind of gentle and mild feeling."

Upon hearing this, Huo Xiao paused in his actions.

Luo Xi saw it, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes, and continued, "I like it............".

Huo Xiao looked at Luo Xi and asked anxiously, "What do you like?"

Luo Xi: "I like someone like you."

As she spoke, she noticed that Huo Xiao's lips were curling up higher and higher, and she couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.

Huo Xiao pursed his lips, his face slightly flushed, "Don't laugh."

"Your smile makes it seem like what you just said wasn't serious."

Luo Xi: "I'm serious."

Huo Xiao: "Then..."

"Then give me a hug, and I'll believe you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xi immediately hugged him.

Huo Xiao froze for a moment.

Soon, Luo Xi was out of his embrace.

Luo Xi is currently most concerned about the braised pork in the pot.

Luo Xi stared at the braised pork in the pot. "Brother Huo, are we really going to eat braised pork with so much vinegar tonight?"

The blush on Huo Xiao's face hadn't faded yet. "I didn't add it."

"The vinegar is coming from the pickled radishes next to it."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "You scared me to death."

"I thought we were going to eat some weird food tonight."

Huo Xiao: ""
