The next morning, Chen Xiaoru woke up in Zhou Yuxuan's warm embrace. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and her stomach growled.
"Yuxuan, I'm hungry," she said in a soft voice with a hint of cuteness, "I feel like I'm turning into a little pig. How can I get hungry so easily?"
Zhou Yuxuan was awakened by her voice. He looked at her tenderly and comforted her softly, "Silly girl, you're pregnant now. You're eating for two people by yourself, so of course you'll get hungry quickly! Wait a minute, I'll go make you something to eat."
After saying that, he gently let her go, stood up, put on his clothes, pressed a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
Chen Xiaoru was now fully awake and no longer sleepy. She got up, put on her clothes, and went into the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, she gently hugged Zhou Yuxuan, who was busy, from behind and rested her head on his back.
"Wife, please go to the dining table and wait. The noodles will be ready soon." Zhou Yuxuan felt her dependence, and a sweet feeling surged in his heart, and he said gently.
He could feel Chen Xiaoru's deep attachment to him, which filled his heart with happiness and satisfaction.
"No, I just want to hold you like this!" Chen Xiaoru put her cheek against his back and said coquettishly, her voice full of dependence and sweetness.
Zhou Yuxuan turned his head, a happy smile on his lips, and gently rubbed Chen Xiaoru's cheek: "Be good, be obedient. What if the smoke chokes you and the baby? Go sit at the dining table for a while, I'll be there soon." As he spoke, he freed his hand and scratched Chen Xiaoru's small nose lovingly.
"Well... okay then." Chen Xiaoru pouted, reluctantly letting go of his hand, and moving to the dining table, looking back every few steps. She rested her hands on her cheeks, her eyes glued to Zhou Yuxuan's busy figure, a smile playing on her lips, her heart as sweet as honey.
Zhou Yuxuan was quick and efficient, and soon, two bowls of steaming egg noodles were served on the table. The emerald green onions, golden fried eggs, and milky white broth whetted one's appetite.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Chen Xiaoru took a deep breath, her eyes sparkling like a greedy kitten.
"If it smells good, eat more." Zhou Yuxuan pushed one of the bowls of noodles in front of her and carefully handed the chopsticks to her.
Chen Xiaoru couldn't wait to pick up a handful of noodles with chopsticks and put them into her mouth, squinting her eyes in satisfaction: "Hmm... delicious! Yuxuan, your cooking skills are getting better and better!"
"As long as you like it." Zhou Yuxuan watched her eat with such relish that he felt even happier than if he had eaten it himself. He also picked up his chopsticks and started eating with Chen Xiaoru.
The two of them ate and chatted, talking about trivial family matters, and the atmosphere was warm and sweet.
"By the way, Yuxuan," Chen Xiaoru suddenly remembered something. She put down her chopsticks, raised her head, and looked at him with her big, watery eyes without blinking. "Should we go to the commander today? Ask about the zombies yesterday."
Zhou Yuxuan was slurping noodles with his head down. He looked up when he heard the words. There was still some oil stain on the corner of his mouth. He wiped it off with his thumb and smiled gently: "Well, I'll take you there after dinner."
"Oh, by the way, Yuxuan," Chen Xiaoru tilted her head, looking like a curious baby, "Do you know where this zombie poison came from?"
"Well..." Zhou Yuxuan frowned slightly, as if lost in memories, "I'm not really sure. After I awakened my superpowers in my previous life, all I could think about was finding the murderer who killed you. Later, I accidentally heard that woman Li Wei mention it, and then I knew that it was Li Qiang who pushed you into the pile of zombies. After I killed that group of people, I... followed you. I thought that even if we can't share the same bed in life, I'd rather be buried in the same grave with you in death. So, I haven't really paid attention to the source of this zombie poison, but we can ask the commander later, he should know." At the end, his voice became low, and his eyes were full of guilt and self-blame.
Chen Xiaoru's heart suddenly tightened. She stretched out her hand, gently placed it on the back of Zhou Yuxuan's hand, and said softly: "Yuxuan, why are you so stupid? Why did you commit suicide for me... for me! Isn't it better to live a good life?" Her eyes were moist, and a warm current surged in her heart. She was both moved and distressed.
"Silly girl, what are you talking about?" Zhou Yuxuan took her hand in his and held it tightly in his palm, his eyes so gentle that tears could drip from his eyes. "It's all in the past. Aren't we doing well now? In this life, I just want to live a good life with you, to see you happy, to see our baby born safely and grow up healthily. These are things I didn't even dare to think about in my previous life, but in this life, they have finally come true."
Zhou Yuxuan wrapped Chen Xiaoru's soft little hand in his palm and stroked it gently. A strong sense of satisfaction surged in his heart. He prayed secretly: If this is a dream, let me indulge in it forever and never wake up.
"Well, we will definitely be happy in this life." There was a barely perceptible cunning in Chen Xiaoru's voice, and she was calculating in her mind: After all, this life is for you. If you die, won't my mission be ruined?
After finishing their breakfast, the two walked hand in hand towards the commander's office intimately.
Arriving at the office door, Zhou Yuxuan raised his hand and knocked gently on the door, "Knock knock knock".
"Come in." The commander's calm voice came from inside the room.
The two men pushed the door open and walked in. The commander was buried in a pile of documents. Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw Zhou Yuxuan and Chen Xiaoru. A gentle smile appeared on his face. "Why are you two here? Why don't you take a rest?"
"Commander, my wife wants to ask, how is the inspection of the zombies that were rescued yesterday going?" Zhou Yuxuan said gently, putting his arm around Chen Xiaoru's shoulders.
