Xia Qingqing tasted the long-lost flavor of meat and couldn't resist eating most of the chicken.
After eating her fill, she rubbed her round belly and exclaimed, "It's been so long since I've eaten so satisfyingly."
Looking at the little girl's cute little actions, Song Ze couldn't help but say, "If you like it, I'll make it for you again next time."
After saying that, Song Ze felt something was off. When did he become so kind? Not only did he treat people to roast chicken for free, but he also wanted to treat them again in the future?
Xia Qingqing didn't pay much attention. Who would push away a roast chicken that's already in their mouth? She happily laughed and said, "Song Ze, you're so great! I declare that from now on we're friends. Don't worry, I won't forget you when I get something good in the future."
Xia Qingqing quickly drew a conclusion, not giving Song Ze any chance to refute it. With such a good dining buddy, she absolutely couldn't let him get away.
Seeing her smiling so happily, Song Ze gave a soft "hmm," acknowledging her words.
Xia Qingqing was one of the few girls he didn't find annoying, and he was willing to be friends with her.
The two sat there and chatted for a while longer.
Once her stomach wasn't so full anymore, Xia Qingqing decided to go back.
She struggled to her feet, holding onto a nearby stone. She took a step and felt a sharp pain in her bottom, causing her to scrunch up in pain.
Seeing Xia Qingqing's distressed expression, Song Ze stood up and knelt down in front of her, saying, "Come on up, I'll carry you down."
"Then I'll trouble you," Xia Qingqing readily agreed and climbed onto him.
This was the second time Song Ze had carried Xia Qingqing on his back, but the feeling it gave him was completely different.
Feeling the soft, warm touch on his back, Song Ze felt as if a feather had gently brushed against his heart.
Xia Qingqing lay on Song Ze's back. From her angle, she could see Song Ze's sharply defined profile, with a straight nose and thin lips. He was unbelievably handsome, and she was momentarily stunned.
......
That night, Xia Qingqing was lying on her bed in a daze when she suddenly received a video message from Gu Yunshu.
"Sister Yunshu".
Gu Yunshu watched as Xia Qingqing awkwardly lay on the bed and greeted her, and teased her with a mischievous smile, "Qingqing, what kind of exercise are you doing?"
Xia Qingqing wailed, "No, I'm so unlucky today. I fell and landed on my butt. It hurts whether I sit or lie down, so I can only lie on my stomach."
"Oh dear, how could you be so careless? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Gu Yunshu asked with concern, her expression showing some anxiety.
Xia Qingqing briefly recounted the incident, which made Gu Yunshu indignant: "How could he push you? It's just that I can't get over to your side, otherwise I would definitely beat him to a pulp."
Although Xia Qingqing said that she accidentally bumped into Song Ze, which is why he pushed her, Gu Yunshu didn't care about that. All she knew was that this ungrateful man had hurt Xia Qingqing.
Yes, that's just how unreasonable she is; in the apocalypse, it's all about fists.
Seeing that Gu Yunshu was even angrier than she was, Xia Qingqing quickly comforted her: "Sister Yunshu, don't be angry. Actually, he's a very nice person. He even saved me before. We're friends now."
Seeing Xia Qingqing in such pain, Gu Yunshu could only worry helplessly. If this injury were here, they would have just asked a healing-type ability user to treat her and she would have recovered in no time.
She rummaged through her system inventory and found a soft quilt, which she then sent to Xia Qingqing.
"Qingqing, this blanket is quite soft. If you get tired of lying down, lie on it and see if it makes you more comfortable."
After receiving the quilt, Xia Qingqing said affectionately to Gu Yunshu, "As expected, Sister Yunshu still loves me the most~".
Gu Yunshu was already used to Xia Qingqing's occasional coquettishness, and said with a smile, "You always think of me, who else would I care about if not you?"
Xia Qingqing initially sent her water and wild vegetables, and later, when they went to the black market, she sent her rice, flour, and other supplies. Gu Yunshu remembered all of this.
After the two hung up the video call, Xia Qingqing also prepared to sleep. She put the comfortable and soft down comforter under her and then fell asleep peacefully.
That night, Xia Qingqing had a strange dream. In the dream, Song Zeduan acted like a gentle and refined nobleman, saying that he had something very important to tell her.
She was woken up before she could hear what Song Ze had to tell her; Gou Dan's shouts came from outside.
"Sister, get up and eat! If you don't get up, I'm going to eat all your food."
Xia Qingqing buried her head under the covers in annoyance, while Gou Dan outside continued to bang on the door.
She shouted helplessly, "Get up right away, stop shouting."
Hearing his sister's irritable voice, Gou Dan sighed, "What a lazy sister. I wonder if she'll ever be able to get married."
After Xia Qingqing got up, she found that the pain in her buttocks had lessened considerably. Although it still hurt a little when she walked around, it was still bearable.
Seeing her daughter get up, Zhang Hongyan asked with concern, "Qingqing, are you feeling any better today? If you're still in a lot of pain, we'll take a day off."
Yesterday, Song Ze carried Xia Qingqing down the mountain, avoiding crowds along the way. When they reached a populated area, he put Xia Qingqing down. It just so happened that the area wasn't too far from Xia's home, and Xia Qingqing slowly made her way back.
When Zhang Hongyan saw her daughter's strange walking posture, she realized that she had accidentally fallen and injured herself on the mountain. After Xia Qingqing repeatedly assured her that she was fine, she did not insist on taking her to the clinic for treatment.
"Mom, I don't need to ask for leave. I'm almost better. There's only a little pain left," Xia Qingqing gestured to indicate that she really only felt a little pain.
Zhang Hongyan smiled at her mischievous appearance: "Okay, if you're in pain, ask Gou Dan to ask for leave for you. Your dad and I are going to work now."
After finishing breakfast, Xia Qingqing slowly walked towards the foot of the mountain, taking breaks every now and then.
At this moment, Song Ze at the foot of the mountain had already filled a basket with pig feed.
Upon seeing Xia Qingqing approach, Song Ze immediately stopped what he was doing, frowned, and said, "Why did you come here? Didn't we agree that I would help you gather pig feed today? You should be resting at home."
Xia Qingqing smiled slightly: "I'm feeling better today. I was bored at home anyway, so I came over to check on you and see if you've cut corners."
Song Ze raised an eyebrow and said, "Didn't you say we were friends yesterday? And today you're here to supervise me, your friend who's doing things for you?"
"Hehe, just kidding," Xia Qingqing said playfully, sticking out her tongue.
Song Ze was much faster at gathering pig feed than Xia Qingqing, and he finished gathering four baskets of pig feed in no time.
When Song Ze delivered the pig feed to the pigpen, he was questioned by Sister-in-law Caixia.
When Sister-in-law Caixia heard Song Ze say that he had helped Xia Qingqing gather pig feed, she immediately put on an expression of someone who had been through it all.
She winked at Song Ze and said, "I understand, I understand. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
