Chapter 269
In the attic, Zhou Qi's hand, which was about to touch the boy's head, stopped in mid-air.
“Gurgle——”
His Adam's apple moved, and his fingers suddenly curled up after hearing Tang Yu'an's words.
"You said... you dreamed of me last night?" His voice was a little hoarse, and his dark eyes stared at the boy intently.
Tang Yu'an nodded.
Zhou Qi's hand, which had stopped in mid-air, continued to stretch out, gently brushing away the hair that had fallen on the boy's forehead, and his fingertips touched his cheek lightly.
Tang Yu'an looked at Zhou Qi and felt that Zhou Qi's movements seemed to have some kind of magic, which particularly attracted his attention.
He felt his heartbeat getting faster and faster...
"What happened in your dream?" he heard Zhou Qi ask him.
Tang Yu'an's face flushed, and he pursed his lips before saying honestly, "I, I dreamed that you kissed me..."
Having said this, he suddenly stopped, because——
Zhou Qi approached him, their noses almost touching, their hot breaths entangled together, making Tang Yu'an's breathing quicken.
He couldn't help swallowing.
Is Brother Xiaoqi going to kiss him? Tang Yu'an blinked, flustered and expectant.
"Anything else?" Zhou Qi's voice sounded again.
"What?"
"Besides dreaming about me kissing you, is there anything else?"
Tang Yu'an's eyes lingered on Zhou Qi's lips, then shifted slightly downwards. He stammered, "You...you're not wearing any clothes..."
"What else?"
"I don't remember anything else..."
Zhou Qi's palm had already touched Tang Yu'an's cheek, their foreheads touching, their noses touching. If he only lifted his chin and moved forward a little bit...
He closed his eyes, inhaled the boy's gentle breath, and felt like he was going crazy.
In the quiet attic, their breathing became increasingly rapid, but—
Zhou Qi finally retreated with difficulty.
They just agreed yesterday to wait two years, until An An grows up... How could he break his promise the next day?
"Ah, no more kissing?"
Feeling his departure, Tang Yu'an was stunned for a moment, then looked at him pitifully.
Zhou Qi felt that his willpower was being put to a great test. He really wanted to hold Tang Yu'an down and kiss him hard!
However, he couldn't do that.
At least if they really get together in the future, when facing Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang, he can proudly say that he did not seduce An An to do anything out of line when he was young and ignorant.
He is serious about Tang Yu'an. He can take good care of him and stay with him for a long time.
Therefore, the recognition of the Tang family is also very important.
Seeing the aggrieved look on the boy's face, Zhou Qi took a deep breath, calmed down, and then half-jokingly said, "Didn't we kiss in the dream?"
"How can that count? I woke up just as I opened my mouth!" Tang Yu'an said in annoyance.
And it's happened twice already!
He reached out from under the quilt, gently grabbed Zhou Qi's sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "Can't you really kiss me?"
Zhou Qi, who had barely managed to calm down, was aroused by him again. He gritted his teeth, and finally leaned forward, then gently...
He kissed the boy on the forehead.
He kissed carefully, with great restraint and forbearance, for fear that he would lose control and knock Tang Yu'an to the ground.
Tang Yu'an's eyelashes trembled.
It was clearly a kiss as gentle as a dragonfly touching the water, soft and gentle, like a feather landing on the water, but it was such a kiss that made the boy's face flush red.
However, Zhou Qi quickly retreated.
Tang Yu'an blushed, and even though her heart was beating very fast, she still mumbled, "I said kiss on the lips, not... kiss on the forehead..."
But facing Zhou Qi's gaze, his voice gradually became softer and his arrogance disappeared.
The heat rising up made him want to hide back under the quilt.
"Are your pants wet?"
Zhou Qi looked at him and suddenly asked.
Tang Yu'an wrapped herself in the quilt and nodded with a blushing face.
"Take it off."
Tang Yu'an looked at Zhou Qi. Although he was shy, he still obediently took off his pants in the quilt and handed them to Zhou Qi.
The soft clothes still carry the boy's body temperature.
Zhou Qi clenched his fingers and then took out a new pair of pants from his personal storage.
"Put it on."
Seeing Zhou Qi stand up and leave, Tang Yu'an hurriedly asked: "Brother Xiaoqi, where are you going?"
"Make breakfast, and... wash your pants."
"oh……"
Tang Yu'an couldn't help but tilt his head slightly as he watched Zhou Qi hurried downstairs.
Couldn't he just use a purification spell? Why wash it by hand? Of course, this thought only flashed through his mind, and he didn't think about it any further.
The scene of Zhou Qi kissing his forehead just now appeared in Tang Yu'an's eyes.
He raised his hand to cover the place where he had just been kissed.
Xiaoqi's lips are so soft...
Tang Yu'an thought with a hot face, then grabbed the pants Zhou Qi had given him and put them under the quilt.
Zhou Qi didn't give him any underwear, so he had to grab a pair from the closet himself, put it on, and then got back into bed.
In the darkness, he listened to the noise coming from downstairs.
The wooden boards in the attic did not provide good sound insulation, and he could clearly hear the sounds Zhou Qi made while moving around.
He used to feel at ease when hearing such a voice, but now...
Tang Yu'an covered his chest.
My heart is beating so fast.
Tang Yu'an turned over, holding the quilt with both hands, coiled like an octopus.
Oh, when can I sleep with Xiaoqi again? He still doesn't like sleeping alone...
By the time Tang Yu'an came downstairs, Zhou Qi had already prepared breakfast.
"Brother Xiaoqi, why did you change your pants too?" The boy noticed his difference with his sharp eyes.
Zhou Qi paused, then said nonchalantly: "If it's dirty, just wash it together."
"oh oh."
Tang Yu'an nodded, sat down at the dining table, and happily picked up the bowl to drink porridge.
"It's been a long time since I last had dinner with you!" he said with a smile.
Zhou Qi exhaled slowly, his expression returning to normal. He nodded and said, "I won't be away for so long in the future."
"Uh-huh!"
Before obtaining the plane positioning stone, Zhou Qi really had no need to rush back.
If Uncle Tang can raise his level to lv25 during this period, he won't need to go back. He just needs to send the positioning stone back through the portable warehouse.
Before they finished breakfast, Tang Sheng and his wife called to greet them.
"Good morning, Mom and Dad!"
"Xiaoqi took people back yesterday. Nothing happened, right?"
Zhou Qi held his chopsticks nervously, while Tang Yu'an talked about the births of two pregnant women.
"It seems that the baby was born successfully."
There was a message posted on the store channel on the message board at midnight.
"That's good. Is there anything else besides this?" Tang Xueyun asked.
Tang Yu'an paused, glanced at Zhou Qi beside him, and then said vaguely: "No, nothing else, Mom, we are eating, you guys should go eat too!"
"Yeah, okay."
After a few brief words, Tang Sheng and his wife continued to get busy, hoping to break through level 21 as soon as possible so that they could build a new branch across the river and activate the protective barrier.
After finishing the voice message, Zhou Qi was obviously relieved.
Tang Yu'an continued to eat breakfast.
He didn't really want to share with his parents the kisses and hugs between him and his little brother, as he always felt it would be a bit weird to say it.
More than three years have passed, and he is no longer the child who can tell his parents everything.
Zhou Qi thought for a moment and said, "If we are together in the future, we must obtain the consent of Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang."
"Mom and Dad will definitely agree!" Tang Yu'an was not worried at all.
Hearing Tang Yu'an's confident words, Zhou Qi was stunned at first, then he slightly curled up the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile.
If he was still a little anxious yesterday, afraid that An An didn't like him the way he expected, then now...
He became more and more certain, and got deeper and deeper into it.
After dinner, they sat together and discussed what had happened over the past month.
Now in many areas, especially after Linhai Town began to exert its strength, Tang Yu'an's points were growing faster and faster.
Now, his points balance has reached more than 6 million points, and his experience bar is also increasing rapidly. In two days, he should be able to reach level 26.
The lv3 magical furniture has also been collected, and there are even extra ones, including two purple-red sleeping pillows, three super-capacity cargo containers and an automatic water storage thermos.
The other lv2 magical furniture has also been collected to 10 pieces. The only thing left to upgrade the shop to lv4 is to increase the merchant level.
The bus route "Huangcheng Home-Jufeng Mountain-Linhai Town" has also been completed, and passenger flow is steadily increasing.
As for the road to Lanhu Town, because the RV was heading towards Yanlong Fort, without Tang Yu'an and his team to clear the roadblocks and pave part of the road in advance, the construction team's progress slowed down significantly.
This is a huge challenge for the construction team, but it can also truly enhance their capabilities.
After all, the home will expand outward in the future, and it is impossible for Tang Yu'an and others to lead all the roads. The construction team also needs to be independent.
However, with the construction robots, no matter what special road conditions are, they can basically provide reasonable design plans and execution strategies.
As long as the construction team follows the construction robots, they can learn a lot of knowledge and accumulate experience.
Speaking of Lanhu Town, Lan Yunqing has upgraded the Lanhu Grocery Store to level 2. If he wants to upgrade it further, he is stuck on the requirements of magical furniture.
After all, he is different from Tang Sheng and his wife. They will return the magical furniture after the upgrade, but Lan Yunqing certainly cannot do that.
However, after the branch level was upgraded to lv2, the number of overnight accommodation places has increased to 11,120. Although it cannot cover the entire population of Lanhu Town, it is barely enough.
Because the Blue Hulin is large, a large number of guards are needed to guard the edge of the woods every day, so these guards on duty at night can temporarily not be included in the overnight accommodation list.
Now Lan Yunqing has used a fence wall to enclose the area between the central town and the outer Star Chain Fruit plantations.
This entire area accounts for about two-thirds of the land in Lanhu Town.
In this way, the guards only need to guard the remaining one-third of the land at night, greatly reducing the patrol pressure.
When the shift change day comes, Lan Yunqing will remove the guards on rotation from the list and add the guards who are taking over the shift.
Although it was a bit troublesome, the guards were happy to do it.
Because what they are mainly wary of now are mutant creatures, and as for outsiders, they don't need to be as vigilant as before.
After joining the God of Commerce, and their lord used a fence to enclose the mother tree of Blue Hu within the scope of the Blue Hu Grocery Store, the entire Blue Hu forest was protected by the "God of Commerce" -
After all, the blue beech forest is the mother tree of the blue beech.
So now those who harbor ill will towards the Shangshen Cult and Lan Hulin will not be able to enter Lan Hu Town.
No matter what kind of disguise you use, even if you successfully enter Lan Hu Lin, as long as you do something to harm Lan Hu Lin, you will be expelled from Lan Hu Town.
After verifying this, the Lanhu people were completely convinced by the Shangshen Religion.
The reason they are xenophobic is just to survive in this dangerous wasteland. If they can eliminate the "evil" of outsiders, they don't mind making a few friends from outside.
"Brother Yunqing asked me to buy the magical furniture, but I haven't replied to him yet." Tang Yu'an said.
The sources of magical furniture are mainly the Lucky Wheel and the Seven-Day Sale. Ordinary furniture has limited potential and can basically only be upgraded to level 1.
To upgrade a branch to level 3, two pieces of level 2 magical furniture are required.
"Let's wait a little longer." Zhou Qi said, "The living conditions in Lanhu Town are not that bad. Let's focus our main energy on Linhai Town and Zitian Fort."
The population of these two areas is also much larger than that of Lanhu Town.
Tang Yu'an nodded and agreed with Zhou Qi's statement.
At this moment, Zhou Qi thought of something and asked again, "Is Haijing's salary settlement date coming soon?"
Tang Yu'an glanced at the record and nodded, "Almost done. Should we assign him the branch manager task to save points?"
Maybe because he has more points now, he feels that this is not necessary.
However, the monthly salary of Hai Lan and his daughter is indeed very high. After all, this month has brought him nearly 6 million points, including 300,000 in personal points and 600,000 in purchasing points.
Zhou Qi shook his head and said, "The situation in Linhai Town is a bit complicated, and the population is large. We can't easily hand over the authority of the branch manager."
The situation in Lanhu Town is too special, and there is probably only one Lanhu Town in the wasteland.
Other places still need to adopt different development strategies.
"Then why are you asking this?"
"We can find another way to save points costs." Zhou Qi said.
"for example?"
"Temporarily convert two-thirds of individual points into Ping An coins, and pay wages in the form of Ping An coins."
With the population and resources of Linhai Town, it is fully capable of absorbing these 200,000 peace coins.
As long as it is implemented, it will not only temporarily alleviate the problem of insufficient peace coins in Linhai Town, but also provide an "official" way to issue peace coins.
The Ping An Coin is no longer simply linked to the deserted city home, but is the official currency launched by the "Shangshen Religion".
From now on, when Yin Guang Wu Yue and others use the Ping An Coin, their identities will not be exposed, which can be regarded as plugging a loophole.
"And Ping An Coin can also be promoted more vigorously to promote business prosperity." Zhou Qi continued.
They originally created the Ping An Coin because the barter method was too troublesome and had many inconveniences.
Now, with the formation of a line between Huangcheng, Jufeng Mountain and Linhai Town, the time has matured and it is time to vigorously promote currency!
"Wow, that's a good idea!"
Tang Yu'an looked at Zhou Qi with starry eyes. He is indeed Brother Qi, so smart!
