Chapter 21 Chapter 21
In the suite, although Shen Luohan looked tired, it still couldn't hide his handsome appearance.
He spread out a hand-drawn map of the area near the base on the table. The map was very detailed. Even if it was a place he had searched in the past few days, he would search it inch by inch from today on.
Shen Luohan stared at the map on the table with a gloomy look, staring at it for a long time without moving his eyes away.
At the distant base, despite Ji Yuanchen's assurance, Qiao Yanrou still spent several days in fear.
Only when everything was calm could she continue to work at the base with peace of mind.
The work process is not complicated, but simple and boring. However, Qiao Yanrou is very satisfied. Being able to live such a normal life in the end times is the dream of many people.
No wonder this base doesn't take in many people with special abilities. Too many people would make it difficult to manage, and the food harvest would be limited.
I haven't seen Ji Yuanchen since I last met him in the pavilion.
That day, before it got dark, the area producing nourishing ingredients closed early, and Qiao Yanrou walked back to her residence.
Not far away, smoke rose from the kitchen. A group of people were barbecuing on the open ground. Their laughter made Qiao Yanrou, an outsider, smile.
Ji Yuanchen saw her from afar. The setting sun seemed to add makeup to her. The desire to possess her madly invaded his mind.
His Adam's apple rolled a few times, and he stood up and walked towards her.
Just as Qiao Yanrou was about to go upstairs, Ji Yuanchen grabbed her wrist and said, "Let's go eat together."
She glanced at the unfamiliar faces not far away and shook her head: "You guys take your time eating, I won't join in."
Ji Yuanchen didn't let go: "Try some barbecue, I haven't eaten it for a long time."
Qiao Yanrou really hadn't eaten it for a long time, so it would be a lie to say that she wasn't craving it.
"Then let me try a few skewers." In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food.
Ji Yuanchen still didn't let go of her wrist. He took her to the crowd and found a chair for her to sit on.
The group of people were not surprised at her arrival and treated Qiao Yanrou very warmly.
There was no comparison of superpowers, no intrigue, only conversation, laughter, wine and barbecue.
What surprised Qiao Yanrou was that there was wine.
She looked at the wine glass that Ji Yuanchen handed to her and asked him, "Where did you get the wine?"
Maybe because it was too noisy, Ji Yuanchen didn't seem to hear clearly what she was saying.
He whispered in her ear: "It's too noisy here, I couldn't hear clearly."
Qiao Yanrou felt her ears tingling and numb, so she moved closer to him and asked, "Where did you get the wine?"
Ji Yuanchen drank whiskey: "This is from the winery. The one in your glass is the rice wine brewed at the base."
She nodded at him to show that she heard him clearly, and took a sip of rice wine.
Qiao Yanrou quite likes drinking rice wine. In her previous life, almost every household would make rice wine during the Spring Festival. On New Year's Eve, even if she couldn't drink much, she would still drink half a bowl.
The sizzling kebab was stuffed into her hands.
She only ate a small skewer. Maybe it was because she was in a good mood or the skewers were a bit salty, but after finishing the small skewer, she drank two large bowls of rice wine.
There was no big reaction at first, but after a while, the alcohol started to take effect.
Qiao Yanrou did not lose consciousness, but was a little dazed. She used her supernatural powers to clean the area around her lips and then gently wiped it clean.
Ji Yuanchen next to her just drank the wine and didn't taste the skewers.
The sky had already turned completely dark at this time, and there were only one or two lights around, and the light was very dim.
The people next to them started dancing their folk dances. The absence of a bonfire couldn't dampen their excitement.
Ji Yuanchen looked at her with a confused expression, which was very adorable.
"Drunk?"
The man's low and deep voice seemed to be very close to her.
Qiao Yanrou turned her face to the side and happened to meet Ji Yuanchen's gaze. Although the light was insufficient, the look in his eyes when he looked at her seemed extremely dark.
The big hand slowly touched her fingers, gently and softly, holding her in his palm little by little.
Qiao Yanrou's body trembled at his close yet distant touch, and she looked at him with a dazed expression.
A minute later, she stood up with her ears red and said, "I'll go upstairs to rest first." After that, she broke free from his hand and walked towards where she lived.
Hearing the movement behind him, he caught up with her in a few steps because of his long legs.
"I'll take you back."
Qiao Yanrou shook her head and said there was no need to send him off for such a short distance.
However, Ji Yuanchen, who was following her, remained indifferent and sent her upstairs.
When she reached the third floor, she was still a little dazed. Standing at the door, she turned around and said to him, "You should go back and rest quickly too."
Ji Yuanchen did not leave. He covered her soft hand with his big hand and went to the next room.
"The room just now was empty. This is the room you're staying in."
His voice was very textured, low and hoarse with a hint of laughter.
Qiao Yanrou was confused again. She turned around and looked at the room number on the door. It was indeed the case.
"Thanks…"
Her hand slipped from his palm, and when they were about to separate completely, Ji Yuanchen's hand grasped her fingers again, stroking them ambiguously, as if he was inseparable from her.
Qiao Yanrou's eyelashes trembled, and not only her hands, but her whole body was hot.
The man's tall figure approached, and he called her in a low voice: "Qiao Yanrou."
She responded subconsciously and looked up at the same time. Ji Yuanchen leaned over and kissed her soft lips, which were softer than she had imagined. His big hands wrapped around her slender waist, and his heavy breathing announced that his sanity was on the verge of losing control.
"Hmm..."
Qiao Yanrou was anxious to say something, and as soon as she opened her mouth, he took the opportunity to penetrate between her teeth and suck on the tip of her tongue.
Ji Yuanchen kissed her deeper and deeper, holding the back of her neck, and his lips and tongue entangled with hers like crazy.
She was kissed so passionately that she pushed him away with her remaining willpower, but only managed to open a small gap. An ambiguous silver thread was still entangled between their lips and teeth.
"I..I'm going to go in and rest."
After Qiao Yanrou finished speaking in a trembling voice, she turned around with her head down, supported herself with her weak legs, and inserted the key into the keyhole. Due to her momentary panic, she turned in the wrong direction.
At this moment, a hand reached out from behind her, held her hand, and slowly turned the key.
The hot temperature of the tall body behind her pressed against her, as if holding her tightly in his arms.
Qiao Yanrou felt the heat of his palm and the gradually rising temperature of his body against her back...
His hoarse voice rang out: "It's the other way around."
She nodded quickly and walked into the opened door. There was still a daze in her eyes. She didn't dare to look at him again and closed the door.
The aftereffects of the rice wine made her sit on the sofa for a while, then she took a shower in a daze, lay on the bed, unable to think of anything, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Qiao Yanrou woke up and her head didn't hurt. As she regained consciousness, she froze on the bed.
Last night...she and Ji Yuanchen kissed!
She was confused, and the kiss was so...
Qiao Yanrou's snow-white skin turned pink. She fell back on the bed and covered her head with the quilt.
I was dazed with panic, what should I do...
As it was almost time to go to work, Qiao Yanrou got out of bed and washed up with a nervous mood.
She was distracted most of the day.
