Chapter Seventy-Eight Believe Me
"Of course it's because you have something to do."
Xin Li snorted: "You'd better just tell the truth. You've driven Sister Lu to this point, there's no point in hiding it anymore."
Xin Li said this only to provoke He Mingzhou and see if this man had any secrets he was hiding from her.
Unexpectedly, after a long silence, the man suddenly spoke up: "You really want me to say it?"
Xin Li's brow twitched.
Goodness, there really is a secret?
Her face darkened, and she stared at He Mingzhou, slowly clenching her fist: "You speak."
He Mingzhou looked at Xin Li, and just as her patience was about to run out, he said with red ears, "Actually, I've liked you for a long time."
Xinli let out a soft "Ah".
I thought I was going to hear some secret, but it was just this...
etc!
Xin Li looked at He Mingzhou with some suspicion.
What do you mean by "very early"?
He Mingzhou hadn't known her for very long, actually.
If the two of them hadn't gone through all that, they wouldn't have such a good relationship.
Xinli didn't quite understand what he meant by saying he had liked her for a long time.
Could it be that he already knew about her?
"It means exactly what it says."
Although He Mingzhou made a start, he didn't seem inclined to explain in detail.
He simply said that he already knew about her and had been paying attention to her.
The result is that the more you pay attention to her, the more you realize how outstanding she is.
Xinli was still completely confused.
"Isn't it a feeling that slowly developed after I came to the island and decided to marry you?"
He Mingzhou was about to speak when he realized that if he did, he would expose everything, so he deliberately kept everyone in suspense.
"I'll go take care of my work now."
He Mingzhou turned and ran.
Xin Li subconsciously raised her foot to chase after him, but He Mingzhou suddenly stopped.
Caught off guard, she bumped directly into He Mingzhou's back.
"oops……"
Xinli felt a pain in her nose, and her eyes instantly turned red.
He Mingzhou was startled and quickly reached out to cup Xin Li's face, asking softly, "Are you alright?"
Xin Li pouted: "What do you think? Why don't you try bumping into it?"
Even she herself didn't realize how outrageous her behavior was.
It's just like a kitten being affectionate.
He Mingzhou felt as if he had been struck by a critical blow, and the tenderness on his face was almost overflowing.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I apologize to you, okay?"
Xinli cleared her throat, still somewhat unaccustomed to such intimacy.
After all, she was a lord of the apocalypse, and she was still used to the coldness and selfishness of human nature.
Moreover, she had long been used to being alone, and now that there was suddenly someone by her side who cared for her and treated her with utmost tenderness, Xin Li still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Why are you apologizing? I didn't say you were wrong."
"Didn't you say you had something to do? Hurry up and go."
He Mingzhou was relieved to see that Xin Li's nose was only a little red and there was nothing else wrong.
"I was just about to tell you that we can bring family members with us when we go to pick them up this time. Would you like to come along? We'll be arriving a little earlier, so we can explore the nearby towns and see if there's anything we need to buy."
Xin Li was surprised that He Mingzhou brought this up, and after a moment of surprise, she asked, "Can we just bring people along?"
"Generally speaking, no, but if you want to go, I can submit an application."
"I've heard other people say they'd like to bring their families along."
"This is a rare opportunity, and the island has just experienced a typhoon, so many people are a bit unsettled. Being able to go out for a walk can help to relax."
Do you want to go?
He Mingzhou asked this question with a somewhat cautious tone.
It's as if they're hoping Xinli will go, but afraid of being rejected.
This time, Xinli did not refuse.
Zhang Jinhua said she had considered this matter a lot, but that didn't mean she didn't want to go.
Now that He Mingzhou has taken the initiative to speak, and it's not just her doing it, she'd be wasting this great opportunity if she didn't join in.
She really needed to stock up on goods, and the empty space in her room also needed to be filled, otherwise she wouldn't feel secure.
"think."
"Then call me on the day you leave."
He Mingzhou smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Since Xinli had decided to go out, she naturally had to tell Zhang Jinhua.
When Zhang Jinhua learned that she still wanted to go, he held her hand and gave her many detailed instructions.
“Xinxin, although I know you don’t really care about these things, I still hope you can be more careful.”
"While we're not afraid of others competing for us, we are afraid of others resorting to underhanded tactics to disgust us. You understand what I mean?"
Xin Li understood perfectly: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll definitely handle this."
"Hey, your Aunt Yang and I have some things we want to buy. Could you check if it's convenient for you to bring some back for us?"
"Okay."
Xinli took a small notebook and made a list, and brought the notebook with her on the day of departure.
"Waiting for your safe return."
Zhang Jinhua and Aunt Yang even came to the dock to deliver Xinli.
Xinli had a lot of food hanging on her body, all of which the two of them had made while staying up all night.
They said they were worried she might get seasick if she wasn't used to traveling by boat.
Xinli was initially very confident that she would never get seasick.
But on the third day after the ship set sail, looking at the churning sea, she still felt dizzy and developed a fever.
"My sister-in-law is seasick, I'll go get some medicine."
After checking on Xin Li's condition, the soldier next to He Mingzhou ran to the ship's medical room.
They quickly brought over the seasickness medication.
Xin Li was so dizzy that she was completely disoriented. He Mingzhou saw that she was limp and had no strength left, so he picked her up with a pained expression and said, "Let me feed her."
Xinli sensed the familiar presence and instinctively snuggled into He Mingzhou's arms.
The soldier didn't dare to look away when he saw this, and quickly put down the medicine and hot water before leaving.
It took He Mingzhou a lot of effort to get Xin Li to take the seasickness medicine. Looking at her pale face, He Mingzhou felt a little regretful.
"I knew I shouldn't have brought you."
After taking the medicine, Xinli regained some consciousness and immediately retorted, "No... I want to come..."
He Mingzhou smiled helplessly: "But aren't you feeling very unwell?"
How could a dignified lord of the apocalypse admit defeat?
She straightened up and said, "You'll get used to it..."
Although she spoke with great conviction, she was actually quite uncertain inside.
It's not her fault. In the apocalypse, many modes of transportation have become obsolete. Before, she took a semi-open boat to the market, which didn't take long to go back and forth. She had no idea that she was seasick!
"Alright, alright, stop talking." He Mingzhou saw that Xin Li's face was still pale, and he patted her head tenderly. "Next time, I'll take you by land."
Xinli was in a daze, but her mind was still somewhat clear.
Where is there any land route out of that small island?
He Mingzhou's eyes deepened, and he pulled Xin Li closer, saying, "It will happen."
"Believe me."
Xin Li found it a bit strange; land routes weren't something He Mingzhou could just arrange with a few words.
Why is he so certain?
