Chapter Twenty: Xu Haiyu's Disappearance
He Mingzhou couldn't say anything in the end.
He moved aside to make room, his voice low and slightly unsteady: "I'm tired today, let's rest first."
"The bed you brought is very comfortable; I'm sure you'll fall asleep soon."
Xin Li raised an eyebrow.
"Of course."
Compared to the rocky, painful stone beds here, what she brought was the precursor to Simmons mattresses.
This thing became incredibly popular in later generations.
Xin Li lay down next to He Mingzhou with a smile: "The sound is also very soft."
sound……
He Mingzhou turned his face away, his voice a little hoarse for some reason: "Yeah, go to sleep."
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
Xinli felt that He Mingzhou's reaction was a bit strange, but after all, she was not familiar with He Mingzhou, and Xinli was not a lustful person at heart. She felt that since they were husband and wife, if He Mingzhou wanted to consummate their marriage, she could give it a try.
She wouldn't force him if he wasn't willing.
Of course, Xinli didn't understand why he was unhappy.
"good."
Xin Li moved closer to He Mingzhou.
Although the man smelled strongly of soap, he still possessed a masculine aura that was hard to ignore.
It smells like iron ore, and the smell makes you feel very safe.
Xin Li thought she would feel uncomfortable with someone suddenly being around her, but the scent made her feel like she was back in her safe haven in the post-apocalyptic world, and she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
He Mingzhou opened his eyes only after her breathing had stabilized.
The moonlight streaming through the window allowed He Mingzhou to see every detail on Xin Li's face very clearly.
She is really beautiful.
He also possesses a wildness that is completely different from the people on the island, or rather, from people nowadays.
Although Xin Li disguised herself very well, He Mingzhou was, after all, a soldier, and his keen senses were beyond those of ordinary people.
The sharp gaze that occasionally flashed from Xin Li was like that of a hawk hiding among sheep.
He Mingzhou didn't know how she was hiding herself, but since she was trying so hard to appear harmless, and even when Xu Haiyu plotted against her, she smiled and didn't show her true self, he took it as her sincerity.
And... they've already become husband and wife.
Perhaps if he takes better care of her in the future, she will be able to adapt to this place more quickly.
Thinking this, He Mingzhou finally felt relieved, and a wave of drowsiness washed over him, and he soon fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright outside the window.
He Mingzhou was momentarily dazed as he stared at the blinding sunlight.
He hadn't slept like this in a long time. Ever since Xu Haiyu's brother sacrificed himself for him, he would dream of that scene every time he closed his eyes.
He was then awakened by the sight of splattered blood and flesh in his dream.
He didn't dream at all last night...
Before He Mingzhou could think about the reason, his attention was drawn to the movement in his arms.
Something furry rubbed against his chest, making him feel itchy.
He Mingzhou looked down and saw that Xin Li had somehow snuggled into his arms.
Her slender, delicate arms wrapped around his waist like vines, and her legs brazenly wrapped around his thighs.
She buried her face in his chest, wishing she could burrow into his body.
He Mingzhou was shocked by what he saw.
Especially when he saw that Xin Li's dazzlingly white arms almost blended into his own bronze skin, the contrast in color made He Mingzhou's breathing quicken.
However, Xinli was completely unaware of what she had done, and seemed somewhat uncomfortable as she squirmed in his arms.
Early in the morning, He Mingzhou was easily provoked into anger.
His eyes darkened, and he grabbed Xin Li's waist, warning her in a deep voice, "Don't move anymore."
Xinli kept her eyes closed, but her brows were furrowed as usual.
She thought to herself, "Where did this hothead come from? How dare he tell her how to do things!"
Without even lifting her eyelids, Xin Li suddenly pushed off with her feet and flipped herself onto He Mingzhou's lap.
He Mingzhou gasped.
Sensing a change in a certain part of his body, he quickly reached out to pull Xinli away, trying to yank her off him.
Despite her slender hands and feet, which look like they could break at any moment, Xin Li is actually as resilient and patient as a vine.
He tried to pull her off, but instead of getting her off, he almost lost control because of her rubbing against him.
“Xinli…”
He Mingzhou gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice, "Get down quickly."
Xin Li vaguely heard a familiar voice, but this skill she had developed during the apocalypse meant that she could open her eyes instantly if there was danger around her. However, she did not sense any danger, so she was still sleeping while distracted by the outside world.
"No."
Xinli moved her bottom and found that the sensation under her bottom was incredibly good, so she lay down on it.
He Mingzhou froze completely, like a stone sculpture.
He felt Xinli lying on top of him, the two of them pressed tightly together, and even fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Suddenly, Xinli's words from last night came to mind: they were already husband and wife...
He Mingzhou was not one to compromise himself; with a flick of his wrist, he flipped the person over.
The two people's positions were also reversed, with He Mingzhou on top and Xin Li on the bottom.
Xin Li frowned in confusion, about to open her eyes to see who was so bold, when Zhang Jinhua's anxious voice suddenly came from downstairs: "Xiao He, are you up yet?"
"Something terrible has happened!"
Just then, Xin Li opened her eyes and met He Mingzhou's dark eyes.
The man seemed to be enduring something; the veins on his forehead were bulging, exuding an indescribable sexiness.
"You can sleep a little longer."
He Mingzhou didn't expect Xin Li to wake up. His eyes immediately darted away. He rolled off the bed and left like a gust of wind, afraid that Xin Li would notice something.
But he didn't know that Xin Li's eyesight was exceptionally sharp.
Xinli stroked her chin, lost in thought.
So... isn't this the wedding night?
So, wouldn't you say that her wedding night was interrupted?
Xin Li felt a little annoyed at this thought. Since she couldn't fall back asleep after waking up, she simply got up and went out the door one after the other with He Mingzhou.
He Mingzhou noticed that Xin Li seemed a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything. When they arrived at the courtyard, He Mingzhou opened the door.
"What's wrong with Sister Lu?"
It's not too early on the island, everyone should still be resting or just getting ready to go out to work, so what could possibly happen?
Xin Li was also a little curious. Zhang Jinhua still felt a little embarrassed when he saw Xin Li, and couldn't say what he wanted to say.
Upon seeing her like this, He Mingzhou immediately realized something, his face darkened, and he asked with displeasure, "Is it Xu Haiyu?"
Zhang Jinhua nodded somewhat awkwardly.
She had to swallow her pride and plead for Xu Haiyu after she made that scene yesterday.
I thought she would realize her mistake and behave herself for a few days, but when I went to look for her in the morning, I found that she was gone.
"Xiaoyu has gone missing."
