The balcony of Nanqing's room is very close to the balcony of Shibei's room.

So when Nan Qing said those words, Shi Bei jumped directly from that side to Nan Qing's side.

As soon as Shi Bei landed, he quickly hugged Nan Qing tightly in his arms.

Although Qingqing has always been his in his eyes.

But just now, his girlfriend said that he would be her rightful boyfriend from now on!

No more ugly things will be able to flirt with his girlfriend in front of him anymore.

As for the last sentence, it's not important.

He never intended to continue operating secretly.

Shi Bei felt the warmth emanating from Nan Qing in his arms. This was the first time he had openly held his Qingqing in his arms.

He turned his head and gently rubbed Nan Qing's fluffy head a few times, then leaned closer and whispered in her ear:

"Um."

"Then Qingqing can no longer avoid me."

His voice was very magnetic, and when he spoke softly it sounded like a murmur. His warm breath brushed against Nan Qing's ear, making her feel a little tingly and numb all over.

Nan Qing was held very tightly by Shi Bei, and even the tip of her nose could smell the pleasant yet slightly cool scent emanating from him.

She sensed it; at this moment, Shi Bei had shed the gloomy aura that had always lingered around him, like the warmth of winter returning, or like someone in despair finally finding hope.

The main reason Nan Qing agreed to his request was because she was very familiar with the way Shi Bei looked at her.

It was a look in one's eyes that showed conviction and a deep, unwavering determination.

Shi Bei had developed an obsession with her, and she was prepared to spend the rest of her life in the small world. Since that was the case, she would let nature take its course. Besides, she found Shi Bei quite pleasing to the eye.

Instead of watching him play those little tricks, why not try getting to know him?

Nan Qing has already experienced two small worlds and has learned quite a bit about human thoughts.

But alas, she still didn't understand people's hearts well enough.

Human nature is greedy and prone to taking advantage of others.

Just like Shi Bei has now promised her that he will no longer sneak into her room.

The result is that, starting today, Shi Bei has begun his very open and aboveboard life of climbing into bed every day.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

Nan Qing had no idea that Shi Bei would play word games with her.

After a long while, Shi Bei still clung to Nan Qing, refusing to let go. Nan Qing reached out and poked Shi Bei's back, saying to him:

I'm hungry.

"Let me go, I'm going to wash up. It's time to go downstairs for breakfast."

Shi Bei took a deep sniff of Nan Qing's faint floral scent, and let out a soft "hmm" from the depths of his dry, itchy throat, but still showed no intention of letting go of Nan Qing.

It wasn't until a while later, when Nanqing was about to urge him again, that Shi Bei slowly released Nanqing.

Shi Bei looked at Nan Qing in front of him, suddenly leaned closer and gave her a light kiss on the lips. Before Nan Qing could react, he took her soft, white hand and led her into the bathroom.

Shi Bei filled the cup with water, squeezed toothpaste onto the toothbrush, and placed it in Nan Qing's hand. After doing this, he said to Nan Qing:

"Qingqing, you wash up first, I'll go tidy up the room."

Nan Qing was startled for a moment when Shi Bei kissed her, but afterwards she naturally stood aside and watched Shi Bei pour her water, squeeze out her toothpaste, and do these little chores for her.

Since she agreed to let Shi Bei be her boyfriend, there's nothing wrong with him doing these things.

After Nanqing finished washing up and changing her clothes, Shi Bei had already tidied up the room and was waiting for her.

"Let's go downstairs for breakfast!"

Nan Qing had just picked up the little tabby cat from the bed when suddenly her hands were empty. In the blink of an eye, Shi Bei had taken the little tabby cat away, holding it in one hand and Nan Qing's soft little hand in the other.

"I'll carry it down the stairs. It's easy to get distracted holding a kitten."

Shi Bei's excuse was undeniably lame, but since he wanted to hold Xiao Ba, let him hold him for a while.

And so, amidst Xiao Ba's weak meows, the two people and the beast happily opened the door and prepared to go downstairs.

Nan Qing was still dressed beautifully and exquisitely as always, her porcelain-white face showing a calm and peaceful expression with a hint of arrogance.

In contrast, consider the north.

Shi Bei, who usually has a calm and indifferent expression, was all smiles today. He held Nan Qing's small hand and walked very slowly, keeping up with her small steps.

"Ouch~~~"

"Wow~ So they're finally not hiding it anymore?"

"Tsk tsk, are they preparing to make us publicly witness their lovey-dovey behavior?"

As soon as the two came down the stairs, they were teased by Su Lin, Jiang Wenchuan, and the others who were already sitting in the living room. Even Fang Yun looked at them with amusement.

The four of them were awakened by Nan Qing's voice, and then they saw their brave and handsome captain being tied up with rattan and thrown out of Nan Qing's room.

But less than an hour has passed, and the two have already made up?

Isn't Nan Qing a bit too easy to fool?

Shi Bei and Nan Qing approached the group, raised their clasped hands in front of them, looked triumphantly at Fang Yun and the others, and said with a smile:

"Remember to prepare red envelopes."

Fang Yun and the others were genuinely happy. Their captain had always been rather aloof, and sometimes his lack of emotion made him seem almost inhuman.

Especially after the apocalypse, I always felt that something was off about the captain.

But after meeting Nan Qing, he changed again.

But this change is for the better. It's finally no longer the cold and aloof person it always was, and it's become more like a warm and emotional person.

At this moment, Su Lin, avoiding everyone's gaze, quietly accepted the gift that Jiang Wenchuan had prepared from him.

Then, when no one was paying attention to him, he quietly crept up to Nan Qing and Shi Bei.

Then, in a flash, he held up the doll he had hidden behind his back and presented it to Nan Qing, saying as if to claim credit:

"Ta-da!"

"Nanqing, look, this is a gift prepared for you and the captain."

"Aren't you surprised?"

Nan Qing stared in surprise at the ugly-cute gray, frizzy dog ​​doll in front of her. Wasn't this the doll she and Su Lin had found in a shopping mall when they returned to the base?

It seems to be some kind of Monster Town series. Anyway, that shop was full of these ugly-cute dolls, and Nan Qing also put quite a few in his Nebula Realm.

"Didn't you say this was a gift for one of your comrades' children?"

Su Lin was taken aback. Ha, he had forgotten about that. It seemed like that was what he had said back then.

But wasn't it because she and the captain insisted on hiding it? Anyway, he had given the doll to them, so he stuffed it into Nan Qing's arms and muttered:

"Anyway, it's a gift for you guys."

"Who told you to secretly date behind our backs all this time?"

This time it was Nan Qing's turn to be stunned. She looked at the doll in her hand, and then at Su Lin's "I saw through it all along" expression, and suddenly felt that her mind was a little confused.

That's fine.

Next, Fang Yun, Jiang Wenchuan, and Jiang Xuan silently placed the gifts they had prepared in front of Nan Qing.

Nan Qing stared blankly at the few familiar gifts.

These weren't all gifts she helped them choose; they were supposedly gifts for comrades-in-arms who were getting married and about to have a baby...
