The dark apocalypse has ended, and the wasteland era has begun. Countless mutated creatures and strange polluted zones are devouring human settlements.
Yun Zhao, who recently awakened her abi...
Chapter 492 Staying Overnight (Part Two)
After wiping the table, Yun Zhao went into the room, took out his pajamas, and went to take a shower.
Wait until she comes out of the bathroom.
Xie Tu had just finished tidying up the house and was standing sideways at the door.
There were more than a dozen large boxes piled up at the entrance, containing not only food but also some of her personal belongings.
Yun Zhao was feeling sleepy. He glanced at it and said, "Let's do it tomorrow."
It's too late now, I don't have the energy.
Her princess bed awaits her favor.
Xie Tu turned her head away. She had just come out of the shower, and her velvety cheeks were flushed with pink.
"Um, I'm going to get something."
Xie Tu squatted down, opened one of the boxes, and took out toiletries, towels, and a change of clothes.
He even brought his own things upstairs?
Xie Tu took out a change of underwear in front of her, then got up and went into her bathroom.
Yun Zhao no longer wanted to care.
They've done what they should and shouldn't have done, so there's no need to be sentimental.
Perhaps once we find my father, we can give him a proper status?
Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and she wanted her father to be there so that Yun Jue could see that she had grown up.
But if you can't find it...
Yun Zhao didn't think any further, lifted her leg and walked into the room, climbed onto her princess bed and closed her eyes to sleep.
I don't know how much time passed.
She was half asleep when she suddenly felt the bed beside her sink in.
The man was still damp, one hand gripping her waist, and he couldn't resist lowering his head to kiss her eyelids. "Goodnight."
Yun Zhao was too tired to respond.
The man had a familiar scent; it was the fragrance of her shampoo and shower gel.
The screams from the toy room stopped sometime ago.
Fire Phoenix was overjoyed to learn that she wouldn't have to be separated from Little Bluebird tonight.
The little bluebird was used to the two sleeping together; it hadn't been home for a long time and was having a great time playing.
Two phoenixes are staying in the toy room.
As long as their spiritual energy doesn't run out, they have plenty of energy to play around with.

Morning.
People gradually woke up from their sleep.
Zhao Yan saw the two children out the door and then came over to bring breakfast to Zhao Zhao.
As soon as she opened the door, she caught a glimpse of unfamiliar boots on the floor. The size was clearly men's, which startled her so much that she almost threw her breakfast out.
The bedroom curtains were drawn, making the room somewhat dim.
Hearing the noise, Xie Tu suddenly opened his eyes.
The person in his arms was sleeping soundly, their eyelashes casting faint shadows on their eyelids, trembling slightly with each breath, like a kitten burying its head in his neck.
The blanket only covered her chest, revealing her fair and slender arms.
Xie Tu reached out and pulled the blanket up a little, his movements as gentle as if he were handling a rare treasure.
Once back at base, there's no need to be constantly on guard.
Xie Tu, for the first time ever, didn't get up early.
He knew that Aunt Zhao was outside the door and was wondering whether he should go out and greet her, to make a proper appearance in front of her elders.
However, going out now might wake her up.
Xie Tu pretended not to know and closed his eyes again.
Yun Zhao snuggled closer to him, finding a more comfortable position.
...
I slept until almost noon.
Even the little bluebird couldn't stand it anymore, so it jumped onto the bed and stomped all over the two of them.
The cook has gotten lazy!
How can we take care of the main body now?
"Get up and cook!" The little bluebird glanced sideways at the man who was pretending to be asleep.
The fire phoenix, translating for the speaker, yelled at its main body: "Get up and cook!"
Little Blue Bird: [Do chores!]
Fire Phoenix: [Do housework!]
Xie Tu silently threatened Huo Feng, trying to bring the noisy, mimicking rebellious son back into his spiritual realm.
It's raining outside.
Summer downpours are heavy, with raindrops falling densely and splashing into the glass of the window.
The first heavy rain of the summer fell without warning.
very good.
The mountain roads outside the base are muddy, giving us another excuse.
The person in my arms stirred.
Yun Zhao nuzzled against his neck, then slowly opened his eyes, which were unfocused and hazy from just waking up.
Xie Tu felt something gently expanding in his chest, warm and comforting.
I really wish I could live like this forever.
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll get up and make it," Xie Tu asked her in a low voice.
The sound of rain reached my ears.
Yun Zhao regained consciousness, his voice a little hoarse from just waking up, "Is it raining outside?"
Xie Tu: "Mm."
Yun Zhao looked at the curtains that had been drawn: "Are we still having a get-together on a rainy day?"
"If you don't want to go, you can reschedule for tomorrow."
Xie Tu got up and dressed. "Everyone's at the base, we can have a get-together anytime."
After thinking for a moment, Yun Zhao decided to go today.
I haven't had a meal with my teammates in so long, I really miss them.
And then there's Qi Ling. He can't go into the city and must be very bored staying alone on the mountain.
"You should go back to your place tomorrow," Yun Zhao said, speaking her mind. "That way, at least Qi Ling will have someone to keep her company."
Xie Tu paused in fastening his belt, then looked at her with his dark, unfocused eyes.
After a long while, Xie Tu finished dressing and said slowly, "We really should go back and take a look. The little bluebird's big shelf is probably covered in dust."
The little bluebird, who was watching the rain from the window, suddenly remembered its forgotten big toy when it heard the word "shelf".
It personally oversaw the construction of the eight-tiered bird perch, but only played with it twice.
The little bluebird couldn't contain itself: 【Let's go too!】
Yun Zhao: "..."
"Aunt Zhao came by this morning, but she didn't come in. She just stood at the door for a while."
Xie Tu knew when to stop, turned around and opened the door, "I'll go cook."
Because of the heavy rain, the living room was somewhat dark. He turned on the living room light and immediately saw the breakfast laid out on the table.
Yun Zhao has a small appetite.
Breakfast consisted of only a small bowl of plain porridge, two steamed buns, an egg, and two small dishes of side dishes.
It's clearly not enough for two people.
Xie Tu entered the kitchen and first lit the honeycomb briquettes.
He turned around, opened the refrigerator, took out the pork bones he had bought yesterday, and started simmering the soup.
On a rainy day, everyone in town except those who had to go to work was at home, visiting each other and wandering around.
Zhao Yan guessed that Zhao Zhao should be up by now, hesitated at the door for a long time, and then knocked on the door.
She had a key to Zhao Zhao's house, but considering that Zhao Zhao had brought people home to spend the night, she couldn't open the door herself.
The door opened quickly.
Zhao Yan took a deep breath when she saw who it was.
Xie Tu greeted her politely, "Good morning, Aunt Zhao."
Zhao Yan: "..."
Xie Tu stepped aside and asked familiarly, "Zhao Zhao is still in her room and hasn't gotten up yet. Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"
Zhao Yan realized what was happening, shook her head violently, and mumbled, "No need, I just came to take a look..."
I should have guessed who it would be.
If there wasn't some connection, why would Zhao Zhao have brought him to town for the New Year?
But isn't this a bit too fast?
Xie Tu didn't insist and naturally took the initiative, saying, "We made soup at home for lunch. Aunt Zhao will come over here to eat later."
Zhao Yan was tongue-tied and was speechless after being choked by his words, not knowing how to respond.
Just then, a noise came from inside the house.
Yun Zhao came out of the room with her hair down.
Her pajamas were loose and baggy, with two buttons undone, revealing a large expanse of skin.
She looked up and met the eyes of the person at the door.
