Chapter 225 Extra: The Old Couple.

After running the shop for a few years, Shu Lan's cake shop income became stable and she had some spare money.

She chose a house without hesitation, paid the down payment, took out a loan, and fulfilled her wish.

Shu Lan's wish is very cliché. It is not to save humanity or become the richest man in the world, but to earn enough money to buy a house of her own, where her family will live who will never abandon her or leave her.

All her wishes were fulfilled.

The new house is not far from where Li Yanli's parents live. If they want to visit, it's only two blocks away. This way, they can see each other anytime they want.

Sometimes when she and Li Yanli were too busy with work, they would ask their parents-in-law to help take Shu Maomao to interest classes, or they would take the child directly to their parents-in-law's house for meals.

Before, Shu Lan and the child had always shared a room, and Li Yanli stayed in the guest room when she returned home.

On the night they moved, Li Yanli and Shu Maomao took a bath together, coaxed their son to sleep, closed the door, and turned into Shu Lan's bedroom.

Shu Lan sat on a chair, applying a facial mask and playing with her phone. She looked up at him and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Li Yanli frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong, and turned around to look.

Okay, great, there was only one pillow on the beautiful, spacious bed in the bedroom.

He was so angry that he laughed. He walked over and pinched the back of her neck: "Shu Xiaolan, what do you mean? Where is my pillow?"

Shu Lan said flatteringly, "Li Yanli, listen to me. This is what I'm saying. I'm a little uncomfortable sleeping in the same bed with you every day, so how about we have separate rooms? The bed next door is the same size as mine. I've already made it for you while you were showering."

Her eyes sparkled, but Li Yanli remained unmoved. He let go of her hand and said ruthlessly, "Not very good. I don't want to have a wife who acts like a monk. Please vacate the position that belongs to your husband."

Shu Lan scratched the back of her neck guiltily: "But...it's just...I kick the quilt in my dreams."

"You can kick it as much as you want. I will pick it up for you and cover it well for you."

Shu Lan still felt awkward. Even though she and Li Yanli had been in a relationship and talked about getting married, they had never crossed the line in the previous timeline. After the restart, they were together less and apart more. Now, when Shu Lan thought about sleeping with him all night long in the future...

She felt strangely embarrassed.

Shu Lan tried to make him understand her concerns: "Don't you find it strange? Every morning when I open my eyes, there's someone lying next to me. And my eyes and face are swollen when I wake up in the morning. It must not look good."

Li Yanli said, "I know. So what? I've even seen you turn into a zombie."

Shu Lan: ...That’s right, he has never seen what she looks like before.

Li Yanli turned and went to the next room, took back the pillow, locked the door, walked to the bed, placed the two pillows side by side, lifted the quilt and sat on it.

After a smooth process, he patted the seat next to him and said, "Come on, my dear wife."

Shu Lan said nothing, rushed into the bathroom, took off her facial mask, splashed cold water on her face to cool it down, and quietly cursed herself for being useless.

Really, they've been married for several lifetimes, their children are already this big, and they're just sleeping together! Why is she shy?

Shu Lan walked out with her head held high, threw back the quilt, and lay down. Suddenly, her eyes met with Li Yanli, who was sitting next to her. She quickly turned her head away: "What are you looking at? Turn off the lights!"

Li Yanli let out a few low laughs and teased her, "Shu Xiaolan, you make me feel like a bully who's forcibly taking a woman from me. I clearly remember that we were a legitimate couple. Could it be that I'm mistaken?"

Shu Lan moved closer to him and muttered, "No, I really just can't get used to it."

Li Yanli lay down, turned his head to see the back of her head, and sighed: "Actually, I have a secret that I have never told you. Being a zombie for so many years in the previous timeline has left a deep psychological trauma on me."

As soon as he said that, Shu Lan recalled the time when he was lying alone on the ground, feeling his body gradually rotting until he died completely.

Such a long time...

Shu Lan realized belatedly that after her rebirth, her focus had always been on Shu Maomao, but she rarely cared about Li Yanli.

Li Yanli had a good temper and didn't argue with her. He was always considerate and took care of her feelings. He stayed by her side and helped her recover from the cruel and long memories of the apocalypse.

Heartache overwhelmed other emotions. Shu Lan turned over, placed her palm on Li Yanli's abdomen, and looked up to ask him, "Is it uncomfortable here?"

Li Yanli's eyelids half closed, and he said "hmm" in a lonely tone.

Shu Lan felt so uncomfortable that her throat choked: "Idiot, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Li Yanli pulled up the corners of his mouth and forced a smile. "It's just an adult, a minor psychological problem. I thought I could handle it on my own. But no, it's getting worse and worse."

Shu Lan reached out and hugged his neck: "I'm sorry, I ignored you. I don't know what you're going through. Besides feeling sick in your stomach, do you have any other psychological problems?"

Li Yanli hugged her back, his hand resting on her back. The two of them cuddled together, a smile that Shu Lan couldn't see flashing in his eyes. He said in a deliberately fragile tone, "Sometimes... I feel like I'm still that zombie..."

Shu Lan's voice was gentle: "Well, there's more. It's okay. Just tell me everything. Husband and wife should share each other's pain and happiness."

Li Yanli's hand slowly slid down, stopped at her waist, touched the hem of her pajamas, and whispered ambiguously.

"Whenever I get close to you, I can smell the fragrance emanating from you, which makes me want to open my mouth and use my teeth..."

The more Shu Lan listened, the more she felt something was wrong: "Huh?"

"Crush you into pieces."

The zombies' sharp claws touched the body with warm blood flowing in it. The former supreme leader of the human base was tossed over and over by the hateful zombie king, his bones torn and flesh eaten. There were deep teeth marks on his lower lip, and he finally fell asleep exhausted.

…

Early in the morning, Shu Maomao got up and ran to Shu Lan's door.

His parents said that as long as he slept well in his new room, he could go wherever he wanted and eat whatever he wanted the next day, and they would stay with him all day.

Shu Maomao reached out and knocked on the door: "Mommy, Mommy, I'm up."

It was quiet inside. After a while, the door opened and his father came out. He raised his finger and said "shush" and picked him up. "Your mother wants to sleep in. Come on, Dad will take you out for breakfast."

Shu Maomao doesn't want to eat breakfast outside. She wants to eat noodles cooked by her mommy. She will put a lot of delicious side dishes in it, such as shrimp, mushrooms, fried eggs, and vegetables...

He looked over his father's shoulder and saw the bulging figure in the quilt, motionless, while his mother seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Shu Maomao turned his head back and thought: Forget it, let her sleep in, he will eat the noodles tomorrow.
