Chapter 107 He is drunk
Shi Yan had nowhere to retreat, "I..." He didn't know how to explain, so he could only turn his head and change the subject, "After all, the apartment we were assigned is a single apartment, the area is relatively small, it's really not convenient for two people to live in, and you and I are different in gender..."
The most important thing is that Xiaoxue is the person he likes, and he is a man after all, and he doesn't want to do anything deviant and make Xiaoxue unhappy.
"Do we have to be so clear about the distinction between you and me?" This sentence was a bit ambiguous, and Shi Yan suddenly felt inexplicably hot.
Shi Yan took a step forward, which surprised Qin Muxue. He hugged her and felt her scent. "I want to stay with you like this forever."
"Of course you can stay with me forever." Qin Muxue stroked his back gently. She could feel his pounding heartbeat and trembling body, but she felt at ease. As long as Shi Yan was by her side, she seemed like she would never be in danger.
He didn't answer again because he knew that he would disappear from here one day, and the only thing he could do was to use the remaining time to do what he wanted to do.
Qin Muxue looked at his dejected look and sighed, "Since you want to come back and live here, that's fine. I'll help you clean up this place. You can't always sleep on the floor!"
His health wasn’t very good to begin with, and if he continued to sleep on the hard ground, I was really afraid that I would lose him one day.
"I can do it myself, it's okay." Seeing Qin Muxue start to sweep the floor for her, Shi Yan immediately grabbed the broom, "I can do these rough jobs by myself, Xiaoxue, you can just sit aside."
"I'm not some precious young lady." The experiences of two lifetimes have made her accustomed to doing rough work.
Of course she couldn't just sit there and do nothing, so she changed his mattress, put on a mattress pad, sheets, and a thick duvet. The two of them worked together, and soon the whole room was cleaned up.
She also placed a vase on the table, which contained sunflowers she had planted in the space. The sunflowers were covered with fresh dew and exuded a sunny scent. The room finally looked a little more lively.
"Although the accommodation environment in this base is not as good as the previous shelter, one thing is that the people here have human rights, which is worth praising." If she had arrived at the base in Baihu City earlier in her previous life, she would not have ended up in such a tragic end, but this life is better.
Because Manman, Shi Yan and Baozhu all returned to her side, she felt very fulfilled. Although Shi Yan's health was not very good, there were few perfect things in the world, and there would definitely be some regrets.
"I'm so tired!" Qin Muxue lay on the soft bed and closed her eyes. She was really exhausted after today, and what was even worse was that she was hungry.
Shi Yan looked at her with gentle eyes, "Are you feeling hungry?"
"Are you the worm in my stomach?"
"You must be hungry after a day's work. What would you like to eat?"
Qin Muxue suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "Manman asked me to go to her place for dinner just now. I almost forgot. We have packed up, let's go over there quickly!"
She naturally held Shi Yan's hand. Shi Yan was slightly stunned. This seemed to be an intimate action that only lovers would do. Although the two had confirmed each other's feelings, they were not officially together yet. Shi Yan felt a little embarrassed, but still let her pull him.
Manman had been waiting for Qin Muxue and the others to arrive. Grandma Qu taught her how to make dumplings stuffed with fennel. "If you want the dumpling stuffing to be fragrant, first prepare a handful of green onions, clean and chop them, then add them in. Then pour in the hot oil to stimulate the onion aroma. Then stir all the stuffing in one direction to make it even. The stuffing made in this way is, in one word, fragrant!"
Young fennel leaves can be eaten as vegetables or used as seasoning. They are crisp, tender and delicious. In the north, they are often used as dumpling fillings, but I'm afraid some people are not used to the taste.
This time, they made dumplings with many different flavors, not only fennel filling, but also leek and egg filling, cabbage and pork, sauerkraut pork, and green onion beef. After they were busy, Qin Muxue and the others arrived.
The two of them were responsible for preparing the filling, and everyone made the dumplings together.
When Qin Muxue arrived, the dumplings had been almost wrapped. Wu You's family and Qian Xinran and her son were also there, and they were all called over by Manman to eat dumplings together.
Qin Muxue smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you much. I just came here to eat for free."
"What's the matter with that? Wash your hands quickly and come over to eat. The dumplings are almost ready." Manman was making dumplings. When she saw Qin Muxue coming, she quickly wiped her hands and came over to greet her.
Qin Muxue couldn't wait to swallow her saliva, waiting for the dumplings to come out of the pot like a group of children, "They smell so good. I can't forget the pickled cabbage dumplings that Grandma Qu made before."
“This time, you can try more flavors.”
Qu Yanbai pulled Qin Muxue aside and asked, "Is the green onion dipping sauce that was stored in the space still there?"
"Don't worry, I never touched your things."
"Oh, and that one, too." He winked.
"What?"
"Of course it's wine. Today we specially made dumplings with so many flavors to celebrate our arrival at the base. We must drink to celebrate."
“…”
Qin Muxue could only take out two bottles of Wuliangye, "This should be okay, right?"
Qu Yanbai nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Okay, okay." It looked like a collector's edition, and it seemed that Qin Muxue had spent a lot of money on it.
Qu Yanbai happily held the Wuliangye in her arms and said, "You should have a few drinks tonight, or I won't have anyone to drink with."
Qin Muxue refused firmly, "I don't like drinking white wine, you can ask Wu You's father to drink with you."
Wu Yong waved his hand quickly, "I have to take Wu You to school tomorrow. I'm afraid drinking will cause trouble, so I'd better not drink!"
"Uncle Wu, isn't it just a few drinks? It's okay." Qu Yanbai looked at him expectantly.
"No, no, Wu You's schooling is a big deal. Captain Wei has worked so hard to get someone to apply for admission. I have to take Wu You there quickly. I'm afraid drinking will affect his condition." Hearing that parents would also be included in the assessment, Wu Yong took it very seriously, so he didn't dare to drink a sip of wine for fear of missing the opportunity. Besides, once the wine was drunk, how could he just drink one sip? The best way was to stop drinking.
Qu Yanbai could only hold the bottle of wine dejectedly, "Then I'll drink it alone." But drinking alone was too boring after all. He would bring some good wine to have a good chat with Captain Wei some other time. This time he could only have a small drink.
Who knew that Manman saw his lonely look, smiled and held the wine glass and said: "How about I drink with you?"
"But Manman, aren't you hard to drink?" he asked puzzled.
"You're bored drinking alone, so I'll keep you company, but I can only drink a little."
For some reason, Qu Yanbai felt a warm feeling in his heart. She was indeed the person he liked, but he didn't want to force her. "It's okay. Drinking alone is also very interesting. You should drink less."
Seeing the two people hesitating, Qin Muxue brought out another bottle of rice wine, "Why not drink this? Rice wine has a low alcohol content and you won't get drunk even if you drink one glass."
Grandma Qu said, "Oh, I can have a few cups of this too. Okay, okay, come and eat the dumplings. Hurry up and prepare the dipping sauce. You can eat now."
Qin Muxue couldn't wait any longer. She took a bite of the fennel-flavored one, which was delicious with an indescribable taste. "Hmm, delicious." A sip of rice wine and a dumpling, this combination was really delicious.
Seeing that Shi Yan didn't move his chopsticks, she picked up some sauerkraut-flavored dumplings for him, "Grandma Qu's sauerkraut-flavored dumplings are delicious. Eat them while they're hot."
"Um."
Grandma Qu pushed the green onion in front of Shi Yan and said, "Little boy, look at you, you are so thin. Eat more quickly. Don't be polite."
As Shi Yan swallowed the dumplings, he had a strange feeling for some reason. He had never felt the love of his family since he was a child. His mother gave birth to him alone and treated him like a burden. She had never spoken to him gently.
After he married his stepfather, his life became even worse. Although he had top grades, he felt that going to school was a waste of money. Moreover, his stepfather had a violent tendency and would beat him every time he was drunk.
Sitting here, for the first time he felt like he was part of it.
"Shi Yan, will you get drunk after drinking?" Qin Muxue found it a little funny when she recalled how Shi Yan looked drunk in the cave that night.
"Well, I can't drink. I get drunk if I drink."
"As a man, you drink to get drunk. Only when you are drunk can you tell the truth, and the actions you take are what you want to do most in your heart." Qu Yanbai couldn't help but tease.
Shi Yan remembered that after he got drunk, he seemed to have been sticking to Qin Muxue. This was indeed something he had always wanted to do but didn't dare to do.
"Come on, Shi Yan, let me toast you a glass. Look how well we cooperated when we killed that mutant creature today. We still have a tacit understanding."
Shi Yan looked at the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The rice wine had a slightly sweet taste and was not very bad to drink.
Qin Muxue looked at him worriedly, and only felt relieved when she saw that he was no different from usual, "Drink less and eat more dumplings."
Bite after bite, she ate several plates of dumplings by herself.
The table was filled with people eating dumplings, chatting and laughing, creating a festive atmosphere. In the end, Qu Yanbai was drunk as well. Grandma Qu looked at her drunkard grandson with disdain, "Why is he like this when he drinks?"
After everyone left, Shi Yan was the only one left, lying motionless on the table. Qin Muxue poked his waist, "Shi Yan, Shi Yan, wake up, we have to go back."
Shi Yan felt an itchy sensation on his waist. He looked up and saw Qin Muxue's enlarged face. "It's Xiaoxue. Are we going back?" There was a smile in his confused eyes.
Qin Muxue was helpless. As expected, once this guy got drunk, his entire temperament changed and became gentler. When she first met him, although he was kind to others, he always had a slight sense of alienation.
Shi Yan stood up, but before he reached the door, he fell to the ground and didn't move. It seemed that Shi Yan was really drunk this time.
Qin Muxue smiled helplessly, "If you don't know how to drink, just drink less. After Qu Yanbai's words, you actually drank several cups. Although rice wine has a low alcohol content, it can still make people drunk."
Manman said meaningfully: "Why not put him into the space and take him back!"
Apart from Manman, Qin Muxue had never let anyone enter her space, but looking at the drunk Shi Yan, it seemed that there was no other way.
Before leaving, Manman gave him some medicine powder, "These are hangover medicine soups, let him drink them later!"
"Okay, thank you, Manman."
"Why are you being polite to me?"
Qin Muxue put Shi Yan into her own space. Shi Yan was in a daze and felt something licking his face. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the manor.
There are cats and dogs in the yard, and outside the yard there are chickens, ducks, pigs, rabbits and all kinds of livestock. There are also roses planted in the yard. When a breeze blows, the fragrance of flowers fills the air.
There were several puppies around him, biting their tails. It must have been these puppies that licked him just now. Baozhu was staring at him vigilantly from the side.
Shi Yan reacted instantly and realized that this should be Qin Muxue's space. He said helplessly to Baozhu: "Anyway, we all like Xiaoxue, so we should stand on the same side!"
At this moment, he no longer looked like a hedgehog covered with thorns, and his temperament became much softer. Baozhu could feel the change in Shi Yan. Besides, this guy had saved his master so many times, so he was not a bad person. At most, he just threatened her when they first met.
"Sometimes, I really envy you." Shi Yan couldn't help but sigh.
Baozhu tilted her head. The person in front of her was really strange. Who would envy a dog?
"At least you can always stay with Xiaoxue. I think it's a luxury to stay with her." Baozhu let down her guard. This human looked really pitiful.
Shi Yan stood up and patted the weeds on his body. Immediately, a group of dogs surrounded him. Perhaps because he was stained with the scent of Qin Muxue, these dogs were not so defensive towards him. In addition to the dogs, there were also Zhenzhu and several other cats. Zhenzhu was the boss of the cats here, and she had no aversion to Shi Yan, so the other cats naturally would not act rashly.
Shi Yan looked at the small country villa in front of him, pushed open the door, and what came into view was a warm little home. He seemed to be able to see Qin Muxue living here.
Walking further inside, he knew at a glance which was Qin Muxue's room. She preferred a neutral and dirt-resistant style.
"Are you sober now?" Qin Muxue's voice came from behind.
Shi Yan turned around and saw Qin Muxue holding a bowl of black stuff. "Take this hangover medicine!"
"Can I refuse?" He protested for the first time. The medicine looked very bitter. Even he, who was not afraid of bitterness, frowned after smelling it.
At this moment, a British shorthair suddenly jumped out and tripped Qin Muxue. Shi Yan was quick-eyed and quick-handed and supported Qin Muxue, but the bowl of sobering medicine spilled all over him.
He was still drunk and groggy, and they both fell to the ground. Fortunately, Shi Yan acted as a human cushion and prevented her from falling flat on her face.
Shi Yan groaned, and when Qin Muxue was about to get up from him, she smelled a strong smell of alcohol on him.
"Are you okay?"
"It should be fine." He had just cushioned the impact so that he would not get hurt, but in order to prevent Qin Muxue from getting hurt, his waist seemed to have been twisted.
Qin Muxue quickly climbed up from him and stretched out her hand, trying to help Shi Yan up.
Shi Yan held his waist and said, "I think my waist is sprained." His body has been strengthened and is not so easy to get hurt. However, he found that the longer he stayed in this world, his strength was no longer as strong as when he first came to this world.
He stretched out his hand and found that the lines on his palm were becoming fainter and fainter...
"Did you sprain your waist? I think I have safflower oil and muscle-relaxing and blood-activating ointment here. Let me go find some."
Watching Qin Muxue take out the medicine box in the house, Shi Yan lowered his head and clenched his fists.
"Lift up your clothes and I'll apply the medicine on you."
Seeing Shi Yan's stunned look, Qin Muxue reached out and lifted up his clothes. She frowned and said, "You are all wet with medicine, and you smell like Chinese medicine. You should just take it off!"
"Don't..." Before he could react, Qin Muxue had already taken off his shirt.
Shi Yan was wearing a gray sweater. Qin Muxue reached out and rubbed his waist. Her cold hands on his sensitive waist were an unbearable torture.
“Is this the location?”
"Um."
Qin Muxue applied some safflower oil on the sprained area. Shi Yan only felt a cold waist. He gritted his teeth to endure the strange feeling.
He only saw her lowering her head and applying medicine to him seriously. He had dirty thoughts because Xiaoxue was so serious.
Shi Yan's waist looked very thin, but his abdominal muscles were very strong, and one could even see his six-pack abs with distinct lines. Qin Muxue swallowed, threw away the messy thoughts in her mind, and began to apply the medicine seriously.
"Do you feel better?"
"Much better."
Qin Muxue helped him apply the ointment, "Okay, I wanted to give you some hangover medicine, but I didn't expect that it would cause you to sprain your waist."
"It's okay, you'll be fine soon."
Shi Yan smiled and put his clothes down. If he continued like this, he was really afraid that he would not be able to control himself.
“Is this your space?”
"Yeah, I forgot to tell you that you got drunk and fell to the ground just now. I could only put you into the space and bring you back. This is where Manman and I used to live. How about the decoration? It's nice, isn't it?"
She carefully observed Shi Yan's reaction. He was not surprised at all, but instead showed a relieved expression.
Xiaoxue was willing to bring him into the space, which must mean that she completely trusted him. Ripples appeared in his heart, and he looked at her with uncontrollable eagerness in his eyes.
"Would you like me to show you around here?"
"Okay." He wanted to know everything about Xiaoxue.
"My space is divided into three parts. The area where we are standing is the breeding area. Various animals can be bred here, but humans cannot. Humans can only stay in the space for 90 minutes a day. If they exceed the time limit, they will be teleported out directly."
She pointed at a family of wild boars not far away. Now the piglets have grown very fat. She believed that they would become her meals in the near future. Thinking of this, Qin Muxue began to drool unconsciously. Wild boar meat has a unique flavor.
"And the chickens, ducks and sheep we found at the military base earlier, look how fat they are here."
In her eyes, the chickens had turned into chicken soup, the ducks had turned into roast ducks, and the sheep had turned into lamb kebabs.
Shi Yan listened to her introduction silently, watching her playful appearance quietly, his heart filled with joy.
"How is it? Isn't it amazing?"
"Well, it's really amazing. I should be able to breed more animals in the future. Now it's the size of a small farm."
"That's what I thought."
Qin Muxue led him to the planting area and continued to introduce: "This is the planting area. There are all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Sometimes the fruits and vegetables I take out are taken out from the space. Let me tell you a secret. These are irrigated with spiritual spring water, which also has the effect of strengthening the physical fitness. You have to eat more in the future so that you can get better quickly."
She was thinking about him all the time, which made Shi Yan feel sorry for her. There was no way for his body to get better, and there was no other way except to leave this time and space.
But he still nodded in agreement, "Well, thank you, Xiaoxue, for always thinking about me."
"What are you thanking me for? The output value here is, to exaggerate a little, enough for us to use for a lifetime. I just want to strengthen your physique by the way."
She pointed to a spring not far away and said, "That is the spiritual spring water. It is the water we usually drink. My arm was injured before, and it was the spiritual spring water that healed it. I believe you will get better in the future too."
At this point, Qin Muxue scooped up another handful of water and brought it to his mouth, "You sprained your waist, drink more."
Shi Yan did not refuse. He held her hand and drank the spring water. The spring water flowed down his Adam's apple. "Very sweet spring water."
Qin Muxue suddenly felt a little hot. Shi Yan was so tempting. When he was beside her, he was like a good little puppy, but when he was fighting outside, he was like a wild wolf. The way he drank water just now reminded her of an advertisement shot by a certain idol. She was not a fan, but that idol was famous in the circle for his good looks. If this happened in a time and space without a disaster, Shi Yan could debut directly and would definitely be able to defeat those idols.
It was a pity that they were in a time and space with constant natural disasters. She suddenly remembered something, "Shi Yan, what was your time and space like? Am I there? Do we know each other? Do you like me too?"
Shi Yan's eyes were a little sad. He didn't know how to answer this question. "No matter where you are in time and space, I like you."
In fact, the Qin Muxue in that time and space had already died. He traveled through various parallel time and space just to save Qin Muxue. Even if she was only alive and well in a certain time and space, it was already a great joy for him.
