Chapter 320, Always Together
Outsiders say that Si Xu is smart and cunning, and Shen Lang even regards him as his biggest enemy, but only she knows that this man is very simple.
All his moods, what he wants, what he hates... will be expressed directly.
It is precisely because he is too straightforward that he is seen as aggressive and unkind by many people.
He rarely hid his feelings from her, especially after she confessed her feelings. But the response he gave today, his tone and attitude, always made her feel that he was hiding something from her.
Their interlocked fingers tightened. Without looking at her, Si Xu asked seriously, "Jiang Ran, what do you want to do after this disaster is over?"
He still remembered what she had said before, about building a small log cabin, lighting a fireplace, and living out her retirement in peace. When she said this, he consciously included himself in her wish and did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.
What about now? Has her wish changed? Is he still in her wish list?
"The disaster is over?" Jiang Ran didn't know if he had thought about it so much. At the moment, there was only one plan in his mind. "Of course, get married first."
Si Xu was stunned: "Huh?"
"Get a marriage certificate." Jiang Ran squeezed his hand tightly, squinting at him in a warning tone, "Si Xu, you're not going to marry me, are you?"
Under the girl's threatening gaze, the man's gloomy mood instantly improved.
He smiled unconsciously and snorted: "If you want, we can get married today."
"Marriage... Do you have a household registration?" Jiang Ran thought of a key question, "If you don't have a household registration, how can we get married?"
After thinking for a moment, she muttered to herself, "But it's the end of the world now. It doesn't matter if I have a household registration or not... It doesn't matter if I have a marriage certificate or not either."
"No." To her surprise, Si Xuyi sternly corrected her, "No, you must have proof."
There is no certificate proving they are married, what if she runs away with someone else?
Jiang Ran: "...Why do you suddenly care so much..."
"I've always cared about it." Si Xu's ears turned red as she corrected Jiang Ran's opinion, "I didn't put it first before because I knew it wasn't the right time to talk about it."
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow.
Is it time to say it now? Whether that thing is a vaccine is still unknown.
"Jiang Ran, if the reagent your father left behind is indeed a virus vaccine, this disaster will be over soon," Si Xu said. "If not, once the Four-Party Covenant takes effect and the front-line cleanup team is formed, this disaster will be over within a year."
After experiencing several zombie waves, everyone should understand that the longer this disaster lasts, the smaller the chance of human survival.
"Humanity can't live forever in a small, square-shaped world like the base. If we want to return to our previous lives, we must take a gamble."
He suddenly stopped, exerted a little force on the hand that was holding her wrist, and pulled her in front of him.
"Jiang Ran." His cheeks were a little hot, and he chose his words carefully. "It's okay to think about it now - after the disaster is over, will you live with me?"
Not knowing why he asked this question so seriously, Jiang Ran couldn't help laughing, but also felt a little annoyed: "Si Xu, if that person wasn't you, who do you think I would choose?"
She pinched his burning face, wrinkled her nose, and replied word by word: "Si Xu, I have said it before, in my life, no one is more important than you - to me, you are unique and irreplaceable."
“…Hmm.”
"So, besides you, there will be no one else." Jiang Ran let go of his face, hooked her arm around his neck, and answered his question softly, "After the disaster is over, I want to travel with you through the mountains and rivers of this world, see all the fireworks of the world, and then hold your hand and grow old together."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Si Xu's response, she hooked her hand around his neck and exerted a little force. When he lowered his head, she raised her foot and bit his lips.
Si Xu was still thinking about how to answer her, but after being interrupted by her, he simply gave up thinking, held her waist with both hands, and hugged her tighter.
…
After a delay on the road, the two returned to Shen's house when the moon was already high in the sky.
Zhuo Shang had prepared dinner, and Gu Yunqing was lying on the sofa bored, waiting for the two to come back.
"You guys are finally back..." He said weakly when he saw the two of them, "If you hadn't come back, I would have starved to death~"
"Ah, sorry, we encountered something and were delayed."
Gu Yunqing sat up and said, "Butler Zheng was tied up by Yan Jue for a while during the day. Now his body can't bear it anymore, so he went to rest. Shen Yang is fine now. There is a girl taking care of him upstairs. I don't want to get in the way, so I'll wait here for you to come back."
Jiang Ran: "Girl?"
"Yes, she's quite pretty." Gu Yunqing touched his chin and sighed, "I heard from Zheng Li that the girl was brought back from outside by Shen Yang. She was in the room just now and fainted after being kicked by Yan Jue. After the doctor revived her, she refused to rest and insisted on staying to take care of Shen Yang - tsk tsk, Shen Yang is really lucky."
Look at that girl, she's so gentle and harmless, it's really a bargain for that bastard Shen Yang.
Jiang Ran was aroused by his words: "I'll go upstairs to take a look, you guys eat first, no need to wait for me."
She pushed Si Xu into the chair and ran upstairs.
Gu Yunqing: "No, why would I go up to you when I'm in love with you? Do you think I'm not bright enough?"
Jiang Ran, who ran upstairs, didn't hear his complaints.
Si Xu picked up his chopsticks and prepared to eat. Hearing this, he sneered, "You don't have to tell her what's going on upstairs."
Gu Yunqing: "..." You asked me to stay here, so I have to do my duty conscientiously, right?
He felt wronged: "Seventh Brother! You're so mean to me as soon as you come back!"
Si Xu: "...If you continue to speak in this tone, I will not only be angry with you, I will also beat you."
Gu Yunqing: “…” Woo woo woo, Seventh Brother no longer loves him after he goes out. He must have another dog outside!
…
Arriving at the door of the room, Jiang Ran subconsciously lightened his footsteps, tiptoed to the door, and put his face against the door hoping to hear any movement inside.
It turns out that the house has good sound insulation.
After listening for three minutes without hearing anything, Jiang Ran was about to knock on the door when there was a sound from the door lock and the door was opened.
“…” The girl was standing inside the door holding an empty medicine bowl. When she saw her, she blinked but did not move away immediately.
Inside, Shen Yang's voice, neither loud nor soft, drifted into Jiang Ran's ears: "Go back and rest, don't worry about me."
Jiang Ran knew that these words were not meant for her.
She cleared her throat: "Brother, I'm back."
"Ranran?"
Hearing that the two were siblings, the girl consciously stepped aside to make way for Jiang Ran.
After politely thanking him, Jiang Ran walked into the room.
All the broken tables and chairs in the room have been cleared away, and the bloodstains have also been cleaned up. If you pay a little attention, you can still smell a faint floral scent in the air.
"It's jasmine." Jiang Ran sat down on the bed and looked at the small white flowers arranged in a cluster on the young man's bedside table. She was surprised and asked, "Are the jasmine flowers in the garden blooming?"
"I don't know." When he woke up, the flower was already there. "It was..." Not knowing the girl's name, Shen Yang frowned, "That little girl put it here."
