Chapter 104: Start slapping
Shi Yan was a little dazed, "This is good."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Muxue had already pulled him up, "It's so cold, it will take some time to clean up, you can stay at my place for the time being, I have already packed it up."
Qin Muxue brought him back to the room. He seemed a little embarrassed. For a moment, he didn't know where to put his hands. The scent of Qin Muxue still lingered on the bed.
She said considerately: "This bed is relatively small. Shi Yan, you are a patient, so you sleep on the bed. I will sleep on the floor."
Qin Muxue took another quilt and spread it on the ground. Seeing that Shi Yan was still not lying down, she asked, "What's wrong? You keep staring at me."
"I feel like it's a dream." It was so beautiful. If it was a dream, he would really like to live in such a dream for the rest of his life.
"It's not a dream, it's real. By the way, toiletries. The water here is about to be cut off. Do you want to take a shower?" Qin Muxue just threw a set of clothes to him and even prepared toiletries, including his towel and toothbrush.
"You should take a shower. I just tried it and the water quality here is pretty good. The hot water temperature is just right." She pushed him into the bathroom door.
Shi Yan looked at the towel in his hand and nodded, and Qin Muxue let out a long sigh.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't nervous. This was the first time she was alone with a man in a room. But with Shi Yan's words, she felt relieved.
The sound of water splashing came from the bathroom. Qin Muxue heated a cup of milk and placed it on the bedside table, so that Shi Yan could drink it after taking a shower and go to bed directly.
She took out a book and started reading it carefully. To be honest, she was quite satisfied with the environment here so far. Although the apartment was not big, it had everything.
Ten minutes later, Shi Yan took a hot shower and put on the pajamas that Qin Muxue prepared for him. The size of the clothes was just right for him.
"Xiaoxue, I'm fine."
"After drinking that glass of milk, you should take a rest!"
Looking at the other person's wet hair, which had lost its former sharpness, Qin Muxue's heart skipped a beat and she quickly hid in the bathroom.
What a mistake. Seeing his harmless appearance, she was actually moved.
She hadn't had a chance to take a hot bath before, so she might as well take this opportunity to have a good bath.
Shi Yan looked at the books on the table. They were books about time and space. It seemed that Xiao Xue had already started to study this knowledge. He looked in the direction of the bathroom with some melancholy. What should he do? Originally, he just wanted to protect her silently, but now he has fallen into it and he is no longer satisfied.
Warm milk, made bed, such a cozy scene, it was a scene he dared not even think about. Shi Yan drank the milk and still planned to sleep in the bedding on the floor.
Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise from the bathroom. Shi Yan nervously knocked on the bathroom door, "What happened to Xiaoxue?"
"There's no hot water." She was halfway through her shower when the hot water ran out.
Qin Muxue was wearing simple home clothes, and there was still foam on her hair. In the end, she used the hot water in the space to wash her hair in the sink.
When she walked out of the bathroom door, she saw Shi Yan staring at her in a daze, "What's wrong? Am I weird? Why are you staring at me like this?"
"Nothing." Shi Yan swallowed and turned his head away from her, "Be careful not to catch a cold."
"It's okay, I'll blow dry my hair later." Looking at Shi Yan standing there at a loss, "You don't have to wait for me."
Shi Yan lay on the bedding on the ground, "I'll sleep here, Xiaoxue, you sleep on the bed!" He wrapped himself up.
Before Qin Muxue could stop him, "I just like sleeping on the floor. You don't have to fight with me."
The once feared killer X now wrapped himself in a quilt pitifully. He shook his head and insisted on sleeping on the floor.
Qin Muxue wanted to tease him. She squatted down, stared into his eyes and said, "How about we sleep together? You go to the bed."
Shi Yan's ears immediately turned red, "Xiaoxue, this is not good."
She gradually moved closer to him, and for a moment, Shi Yan seemed to be able to only hear his own heartbeat, but he jumped up directly from the ground.
"Hahaha." Qin Muxue laughed when she saw how panicked he was.
Shi Yan was so powerful in front of outsiders, he looked cold and distant, and didn't like to talk to people. But for some reason, he was like a wounded little rabbit in front of her, and she always couldn't help wanting to tease him.
"Xiaoxue, stop playing pranks." He sighed helplessly, as if he had noticed her intention to tease him.
"I just want you to lie down in bed and rest. It's okay with me." She reached out and touched his head, as gentle as ever.
"good."
After Qin Muxue dried her hair, she felt relieved when she saw Shi Yan’s closed eyes on the bed. She crawled into the bedding on the floor and gradually fell asleep.
Shi Yan listened to her even breathing, but he couldn't sleep all night.
The alarm clock rang and Qin Muxue woke up in a daze. Since they enjoyed these benefits, they naturally had to serve the army here. Since they were superpowers, they needed to complete some dangerous tasks.
Captain Wei asked them to report to him after they got up, and someone would take them to familiarize themselves with the entire base.
Qin Muxue looked at the bed next to her, only to find that Shi Yan had already gotten up and had prepared breakfast for her, a simple sandwich and milk. After eating, they went to find Qu Yanbai and Manman first.
At this time, Manman was planning to get up and make breakfast, but she didn't expect that Grandma Qu had already prepared everything.
Originally, Manman planned to share a room between the two children, with her and Grandma Qu living together, and Qu Yanbai having his own room. At Grandma Qu's insistence, the two children still slept with her. Youyou and Taotao have a better relationship with Grandma Qu, and it is more quiet with her. Manman heard that there is a special kindergarten here, but the formalities have not yet been completed. Manman plans to send the two children to the kindergarten after the formalities are completed, and Grandma Qu will still take care of them during this period.
She and Qu Yanbai each had a small room. As a couple, they saw each other all the time. Manman was still a little uncomfortable with being in the same room with Qu Yanbai.
In the morning, when she saw Qu Yanbai walking out without a shirt, she covered her eyes and said, "Why are you not wearing any clothes?" Although his eight-pack abs were quite pleasing to the eye, "Pay attention, there are children here."
Qu Yanbai hurried back and put on his shirt before daring to come out. He was used to it at home and slept so well last night that he forgot for a moment that there were not only men in the room.
Manman drank the porridge uncomfortably and peeled eggs for the two children. Before Qin Muxue left yesterday, she filled the refrigerator with various ingredients, so they all had a rich meal. However, they knew that they could not rely entirely on Qin Muxue in the future. After coming to this base, they could earn points through work and exchange them for the food they needed.
Qin Muxue and Shi Yan came to Manman's apartment. They had just finished breakfast. Qu Yanbai told Grandma Qu, "Grandma, you must pay attention to the safety of the children at home and don't let strangers in!"
Qin Muxue left some toys and picture books so that the two children would not get bored. "You must listen to Grandma Qu at home."
"Yes, Sister Qin, we will be obedient."
On the way out, they met Sang Qing and Alan. Sang Qing had just recovered and was excited to go out to work.
"Sang Qing, why don't you take a few more days off? The company commander said you can report in a few days later."
"I can't sit still." Alan followed him closely. At first, he was a little resistant when he came to a place full of humans, but the people here did not treat him as he imagined, at least they did not arrest him immediately. Sang Qing originally wanted him to stay in the apartment, but he insisted on following.
Wu You's family, as they have not found a suitable job yet and Wu You's admission procedures have not been completed, they just had a good rest in the apartment today.
When they arrived at Captain Wei's office, he instructed the soldiers around him to show them the base first and then tell them about their work here.
In the early morning, the place was filled with people busy going out to work. The soldier explained: "Life here is no different from that in the original city. You earn corresponding points by working. Look over there, that's our arsenal. After all, there are too many unknown creatures now, we must make more advanced weapons. The number of people with special powers is still scarce after all, and people like you are exactly what our base lacks." He handed them the telescope. The arsenal was at the very edge of the base, but you could see how advanced the factory was.
The soldier pointed to another place and said, "That's the power plant. The electricity for the residential area comes from there."
After walking further, we saw a greenhouse planting area. "Although the soil seems to be no longer suitable for growing the rice we usually eat, we are still working hard to study other ways to grow rice. That is the vegetable area, and now it is cultivated with nutrient solution, which is more efficient."
At a glance, we can see that many people have already started working here. Their task is to grow vegetables and grains, which is an arduous task.
Qin Muxue nodded thoughtfully. Everything here seemed to be in order. It seemed that the leader here was extremely capable.
Then there are farms that raise some animals to meet the daily needs of humans, but the price of meat is relatively high. After all, it costs a lot to raise livestock.
There are also some processing plants, scrap yards, and various factories, and the residents here have gone to work one after another.
On the way, he also took them to visit the hospital and school. It looked a little shabby, but everything was in good order. "The doctors and nurses here were originally doctors and nurses. We try our best to arrange work for them. The hospital facilities are still a little shabby, but we have tried our best to add to them. There is also a school. Although it is not big, the children are here, so the adults don't have to worry about them at least."
Manman nodded. She should be able to feel at ease after sending the children here.
"You see, that is a class dedicated to training people with special abilities. Children with special abilities will be taught by someone special. Currently, there are not many children with special abilities, only about ten or so. But we will guide them well, let them receive an education, and establish good values. In the future, the little boy you bring will also receive an education in the special ability class."
Looking at the smiling faces of those children, Qin Muxue felt that coming here might be a good choice.
After the soldier showed them around, it was already noon. He took them to the cafeteria and said, "This is where we usually eat. The food is not delicious, but it can solve the basic problem of food and clothing."
Qu Yanbai had already started to build a good relationship with the soldier. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand. "Brother, thank you for the introduction. I have something else to ask you. Let's go over there and talk."
The soldier declined for a while, but in the end he couldn't resist Qu Yanbai. Besides, cigarettes were rare here. After all, they were not a necessity and the quantity was scarce. So he didn't hesitate. "Then you can just look around. We'll go there first."
Qu Yanbai winked at Manman and went to the side to chat with the soldier.
Manman looked at the food in the cafeteria, fried cabbage, leeks, bean sprouts, and some mushrooms. There was less meat, which was at a separate window. It required more points to redeem it, which showed how precious meat was.
Qin Muxue looked at the points above. They were not expensive. One point for a bowl of rice and one point for vegetables. However, one serving of meat required twenty points. There were fewer people who ate meat and there was no need to queue. Currently, they had no points at all and could only watch.
At this time, Qin Muxue saw a familiar figure, a woman who was still dressed in a noble manner, picking meat at the window of the braised pork. "The meat you have is too fat. Can't you use lean meat?" She was picking and choosing while asking the canteen staff to pick the meat. Qin Muxue felt very angry when she saw her. She didn't expect that this woman could still live until now. She really underestimated her.
The woman was her stepmother, Xia Qiaoyun, and Qin Jia, who was bowing her head, followed her. "Mom, why are you yelling so loudly? It's so embarrassing. We are just buying a piece of meat."
"What's wrong, Jia Jia? We have the ability, so why can't we show it off? Eating with this group of low-class untouchables is unbearable enough." Even in such a situation, Xia Qiaoyun did not change her previous character at all.
She had good eyesight and spotted Qin Muxue among the crowd. Xia Qiaoyun was surprised for a moment when she saw her.
But seeing her standing in front of the window with empty hands, she seemed to realize something, "Jia Jia, look, isn't that the good sister who kicked you out of the house?"
Qin Jia looked in the direction Xia Qiaoyun pointed, and sure enough, she saw the face that she would never forget in her life. Qin Muxue seemed to be even more beautiful, with a firm look in her eyes and a slender body. Despite all the natural disasters, her skin still looked so resilient. When Qin Jia saw her, she remembered her own unfortunate life afterwards.
She had a bright future ahead of her, but because she couldn't afford the high tuition, she had to temporarily drop out of school. Unexpectedly, she was lured to Baihu City by a nasty man. She thought she had hooked up with a rich second-generation man, but he turned out to be a con man who cheated her of money and sex.
The only good thing was that later they saw on the news that Xuanwu City was submerged by the strait. Thinking that the bitch Qin Muxue was still in Xuanwu City, they felt extremely happy. Although there were constant disasters here, at least the two of them were still alive.
Xia Qiaoyun originally wanted to use her beauty to kill another old man, but she didn't expect that after the natural disaster, the powerful old man was out of her reach. In order to get supplies and to gain the qualification to enter the base, she could only let Qin Jia use her beauty to seduce an older rich man. But even so, she could only be the old man's mistress.
That's right, Qin Jia can only be a mistress. The old man is rich and has many women, and Qin Jia is just one of them. But at least they have obtained the qualifications to enter the base, and the old man will provide them with supplies and points every month. He has also found jobs for them, so they can also get fixed points every month. Today is the day to distribute points, so Xia Qiaoyun decided to go to the cafeteria to buy a portion of braised pork to indulge herself.
Now seeing Qin Muxue, she was extremely jealous. Qin Jia took the braised pork from her mother's hand and walked in front of Qin Muxue, "Qin Muxue, long time no see." She certainly didn't expect that she was still alive and living such a comfortable life.
Qin Muxue smiled and said, "It turns out to be my sister whom I haven't seen for many days. It seems that you are living well in the base. You can even eat braised pork."
Qin Jia had deliberately put the braised pork in front of her. "You're living a pretty good life, but I don't know how you've fallen to this point. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, you can't even afford food?" she asked deliberately provocatively.
Qin Muxue naturally knew that she had come with bad intentions. She had never expected that the mother and daughter could actually come to the base in Baihu City. She could not help but sigh at the tenacity of their lives. "It seems to be true. We don't have any points at all."
Qin Muxue mentioned us. Qin Jia looked at the people around her. One of them she knew, was Qin Muxue's good friend who was not presentable. It had been a long time since they were seen together. She unexpectedly appeared next to Qin Muxue, and she seemed to be much prettier than before, and was looking at her as if she was an uninvited guest.
On the other side stood a boy about 1.8 meters tall, with a very delicate face, sharp edges and corners, dark and deep eyes that were cold, and an aura of "keep away from strangers" all over his body. He didn't even look at Qin Jia, but just stared at Qin Muxue. He asked coldly, "Xiaoxue, do you know her?"
"She's my half sister." Qin Muxue explained casually, obviously not taking Qin Jia seriously.
Qin Jia held her breath. She originally thought that Qin Muxue had already died in the tsunami, but she was actually standing here alive and well, with good friends and a handsome guy around her. But so what? They still couldn't afford to eat.
Seeing this, Xia Qiaoyun walked over to the group and said, "Hey, Xiaoxue, what's wrong? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat together? I'm really sorry, we only ordered two portions of food, so we can't treat you."
"Yes, if you don't want to get food, don't stand by the window. I still need to get food!" Qin Jia suddenly felt relieved. No matter what happened, at least she could have a meal.
She had never seen Qin Muxue and the others at the base before. It seemed that they were new here, and newcomers had no points at all. Moreover, they were wandering around here and must not have found a job.
Those who couldn't find a job could only make a living by picking up garbage, or apply to go outside the base to find supplies. This job was very dangerous, and if one was not careful one could die in the attack of mutant creatures. It was very difficult to find a job at the base, and their positions were also found by the old man who provided the financial support through many connections.
Just as Qin Jia wanted to continue to mock her, she saw the handsome man next to her holding her hand tightly, "Xiaoxue, I feel a little uncomfortable." Shi Yan's pain would occur from time to time.
Qin Muxue comforted him, "When I see the company commander later, I will ask them if they have any special medicine here. You can take some painkillers first and bear it for now."
The intimacy between the two of them was definitely more than just friends. Qin Jia felt jealous. Why did she have to devote herself to an old man while Qin Muxue could find such a handsome man?
At this time, Qu Yanbai had finished communicating with the soldier. He hurried over and said, "I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Xiao He and I have been chatting for a long time." In such a short time, Qu Yanbai even changed the address. It seemed that he had done a good job.
He took out a card and said, "This is what Xiao He asked the company commander to give us. Just swipe it as soon as you want to eat something."
Qin Muxue took a look at the dishes and just said "whatever". She was not interested in eating at the moment and was a little worried about Shi Yan's condition.
After seeing Qin Jia, Qu Yanbai asked curiously, "Who is this? You seem to know each other?"
"This is Xiaoxue's sister." Manman replied, but because there were so many people here, she didn't say the other part, "sister with whom she has a not-so-good relationship."
"So you're Xiaoxue's sister. Do you want to eat with us? We'll treat you."
Qin Jia's face changed. She originally thought that Qin Muxue couldn't even afford to eat, but she didn't expect that she actually knew the company commander. She came here to slap herself in the face.
"No." She angrily rejected the invitation.
Xia Qiaoyun, who was standing by, whispered, "Why don't you just blackmail them?"
But Qin Jia felt like she had something stuck in her throat when she saw them. She felt uncomfortable and couldn't eat at all. "Mom, it's already this hour and you're still thinking of taking advantage of me."
It's so embarrassing. Qin Jia just wants to leave here now. Qin Muxue, will she find a way to make her live a life worse than death one day and let her taste everything she has suffered?
Qin Jia left angrily, and Xia Qiaoyun could only hurriedly follow her. Now that she depended on her daughter for food, she could only coax her, "My dear daughter, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, Qu Yanbai was still looking at their departing backs with a confused look on his face, "Did I say something wrong?"
Qin Muxue smiled and said, "No, you said it very well."
Unintentionally, I slapped them in the face.
