Chapter 24 Chapter 24
Since the two confirmed their relationship, the way they interacted was no different from before, polite yet distant, and the occasional intimacy was always initiated by Qin Wei.
During these days of getting along, he also realized that Ye Xun had not yet fully come to his senses, and the reason he proposed to give Qin Wei a try was purely because he was attracted by her beauty and usefulness.
This time, Ye Xun rarely took the initiative to ask Qin Wei for help, even though it was to protect his sister.
But Ye Xun was still very conflicted. He had just promised his sister to let her be independent, but he sent someone to follow her. Although Wang Yu didn't say anything, she couldn't help feeling emotional.
"Well, today I will leave work early and go to the plantation. I will wait for Wang Yu to finish work and follow her. If everything goes well, I won't expose myself. If someone intercepts her on the road and she can't handle it on her own, I will pretend to pass by by chance. What do you think?"
This is the only way. Ye Xun looked at Qin Wei's resolute face. The man in front of him always did a lot for him and deserved a reward.
Ye Xun raised his hands and put them around Qin Wei's neck, leaving a light kiss on his lips, then patted his butt and left.
Qin Wei was left alone, reminiscing the past.
On the way back, there were a few people here and there. There were few people on the road at this time, and most of them were working, so it was indeed suspicious to meet a few idle people.
The other party didn't do anything but looked at him frequently. He could feel several pairs of eyes scanning his face and clothes.
Perhaps because he was a healthy man, they didn't do anything.
After returning home, Ye Xun stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself.
I soon found out why I was being targeted.
So clean.
In the end times, people have difficulty using water and cannot take a shower every day. They just wipe exposed skin with a wet towel, and may only wash their hair once every half a month.
Ye Xun looked refreshed, and one could even smell the scent of shower gel if one got closer. His face was not as pale and thin as others.
I look like a person who has no shortage of water or food, as if I am telling the world that I am a big fat sheep.
Ye Xun rubbed the soft flesh on his cheeks, thinking, it seems like I’ll have to disguise myself when I go out next time.
Fortunately, she had prepared some cosmetics in advance. The vegetables and chickens at home had already been taken care of. So, Ye Xun had some free time, so she opened her tablet, found the beauty videos she had saved before, and started learning.
As a novice, Ye Xun is a quick learner. Following the steps in the video and after many practices, he has been able to successfully apply a simple refugee makeup.
If there wasn’t the apocalypse, maybe I could be a beauty blogger.
Soon, a famine version of Ye Xun appeared in the mirror with a sallow complexion, sunken cheeks, dull and cracked lips, and a somewhat incongruous head of smooth short hair.
Ye Xun rubbed his hair together, fixed it with styling spray, and changed his clothes into a vest and ripped jeans that looked deliberately old. The handsome guy turned into a homeless man.
Ye was very satisfied with his current look, and Ye Xun snapped his fingers loudly in front of the mirror.
Qin Wei and the others should be back by now, so he didn't plan to take off his makeup and give them a surprise.
Not long after, the doorbell rang.
Ye Xun couldn't wait to open the door.
As a result, both parties were frightened.
Wang Yu's eyelids were red and swollen, obviously she had been crying, her hair and clothes were a little messy, and there were large patches of blood on her body.
Ye Xun was like a refugee fleeing famine, looking like he was about to faint from hunger.
The moment Wang Yu saw Ye Xun, she couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly. Ye Xun wanted to separate the two and ask what happened, but after hearing the crying, he changed his hand that was about to push him away into a hug.
After Wang Yu finished venting, she realized belatedly that she felt a little embarrassed for hiding in her brother's arms and crying at such an old age, so she quickly stepped out.
Ye Xun also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was a gay, he still had to pay attention to the differences between men and women.
Seeing that she was calm, Ye Xun asked, "What happened? Whose blood is that on you? Are you injured?"
Wang Yu didn't know which one to answer first. "On the way back, I met a few people who didn't look like locals. They wanted to snatch my bag. One of them touched me. I got impulsive and shot him. He got too close to me and blood sprayed on me. I wasn't hurt. Don't be too nervous, brother."
Speaking of shooting, Wang Yu seemed to have just realized, "Brother, if I hurt someone, will they call the police and ask the people at the base to arrest me?"
After hearing this, Ye Xun looked as if he was choked. He didn't expect his cousin to be so fierce that she would shoot as soon as she said so. Afterwards, she was not worried about killing someone, but was worried about being caught.
It seemed that my previous worries were unnecessary.
After Wang Yu answered Ye Xun's question, he asked him, "Brother, what's this look like? I almost thought you came back from Africa."
Finally seeing what he looks like, Ye Xun was very proud. He stood further away so that they could examine him carefully. "I think our usual appearance is too conspicuous. We don't look like people in the apocalypse. So I learned how to put on makeup when I had nothing to do. Let's see how it turned out."
The effect is so deceptive that if Qin Wei and Wang Yu didn't live with Ye Xun every day, they would think that his life must be very miserable.
Wang Yu gave a thumbs-up to express his approval, and Qin Wei nodded in agreement, "Great, you can't tell it's makeup at all."
Ye Xun was delighted to hear the affirmation. If he had a tail, it would have flown up to the sky by now.
"Next time, before Xiaoyu goes to the plantation, I will put some makeup on you."
Wang Yu gave him face and said, "Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, brother."
Then I went back to my room. I always felt weird being with my brothers recently, so I left.
After hearing the door close, Qin Wei came over and held Ye Xun in his arms. "Your sister seems to have noticed it. When will we tell her about our relationship?"
"The three-month probation period hasn't ended yet. Besides, shouldn't you be the happiest after being discovered?" Ye Xun felt like he was in a furnace when he was hugged. "You're hugging me even though you're sweaty."
"This is called letting you be covered with my scent." Qin Wei was not annoyed by being despised, and even stretched his face over to rub Ye Xun's face, "If you don't give me a name, I can only do this."
The stubble on his face made Ye Xun feel itchy, and he laughed and scolded: "You are crazy, why are you like a dog?"
Qin Wei, who was molded into a dog, looked at the happy smile on Ye Xun's face and really wanted to imitate the barking of a dog to tease him, but he held back as he felt it was too embarrassing.
After the two of them hugged enough, Ye Xun patted the arm that was restraining him and said, "Go take a shower quickly. I thawed a fish and will make you pickled fish later."
Qin Wei ate little of Ye Xun's serious dishes, and half of his lunch boxes were usually pre-made dishes. He couldn't help but look forward to it, "Does it have other sisters or is it just for me?"
Why didn’t I notice before that this man is so talkative?
"Everyone has it, you can eat it or not." After saying that, she pushed Qin Wei away and went to cook.
Now Qin Wei went to take a shower obediently.
The water in the pipe had long been gone, and the water used for daily life was all stored by Ye Xun before. Logically speaking, the water should have run out after so many days, but it just couldn't be used up.
Qin Wei had no intention of finding out the truth. Since Ye Xun didn't want to tell him, he naturally wouldn't force him.
Ye Xun sent everyone to take a shower and started cooking.
The original kitchen is no longer in use. It is too hot to cook in the nearly 60-degree weather. After the temperature rose, we moved to the planting room to cook.
Ye Xun doesn’t know how to make pickled fish, but he has a ready-made seasoning packet. He can get a bowl of fragrant and delicious pickled fish by following the steps.
Just one dish of fish was not enough, so Ye Xun also made boneless chicken feet, which were pre-made.
A dish of preserved egg and tofu, pre-made.
Even the beef brisket with potatoes is self-heating.
After cooking, Ye Xun released Bal from the space. If it weren’t for Qin Wei, he would have forgotten about Bal.
Qin Wei came out of the shower with great expectations and saw the dishes on the table. They looked delicious, but he saw through the essence at a glance. It seemed that today was a feast of pre-prepared dishes.
Only the garlic greens are stir-fried. The operation and ingredients are simple, and it tastes delicious just by stir-frying them in a pan.
Seeing that he had finished washing, Ye Xun went to invite Wang Yu to come for dinner.
For Wang Yu, who has been eating Western food for a year, even pre-prepared dishes are delicacies.
She was the one who enjoyed the most delicious food among everyone at the table.
Ye Xun was thinking about those outsiders and had no appetite, while Qin Wei focused on watching Ye Xun eat.
In the end, most of the dishes on the table were eaten by Wang Yu.
Everyone in the Ye family, including Wang Yu, who is not a blood relative of hers, has a physique that makes them unable to gain weight. Otherwise, based on the way she has been eating recently, she would have become fat long ago.
After dinner, she took the initiative to clean up the mess. As soon as she walked out of the room, Qin Wei grabbed Ye Xun's hand and went back to the bedroom.
"Are you worried that those people will cause trouble?" Qin Wei understood Ye Xun's worries. The arrival of outsiders would inevitably disrupt the peace. They were a group of people driven crazy by natural disasters, and their behavior might not be rational at all.
Ye Xun nodded: "I am a little worried. I don't know how many people like today will come in the future. I know you have the means to protect yourselves, but I still can't help but feel anxious."
Qin Wei did not think that worrying about his loved ones was a bad thing. Instead, it made him feel that Ye Xun was a man who valued friendship and loyalty, and he wanted to help Ye Xun get rid of this emotion.
I simply prepared my words in my mind and said, "There's no point in being anxious. It's better to think about how to teach her to improve her ability to protect herself."
Ye Xun turned his head to look at him and asked him to continue.
Qin Wei continued what he had just said, "The longest time you spend at the plantation is no more than five hours a day. Assuming you sleep for ten hours, you still have nine hours to spare. You might as well exercise your physical fitness."
"After a period of time, her physical fitness will be greatly improved. Even those who don't have enough food and their legs are weak when walking can't beat her at all."
This was a well-reasoned statement that convinced Ye Xun. "You are right. There is no reason to be on guard against thieves every day. The key is to become stronger yourself."
Wang Yu, who was watching a TV series in the room, suddenly felt a chill on his back. He thought it might be because the air conditioner was a little too cold, so he turned it up two degrees.
The conversation between the two determined Wang Yu's future days of unbearable pain.
The trouble was solved, and Ye Xun felt much more cheerful. "Why don't you ask me where Xiaoyu got the gun from?"
"When you don't want to talk, you always have an excuse. When you want to talk, you will tell me even if I don't ask."
"You are so boring." Ye Xun curled his lips.
Qin Wei sat up straight, cooperated with him and asked: "Then please, interesting Axun, tell me." After that, she acted like a little girl and grabbed Ye Xun's hand and shook it.
"Since you've begged me, I'll tell you reluctantly."
Ye Xun approached Qin Wei with a mysterious look on his face and whispered in his ear: "I'll tell you a secret. I actually have an arsenal."
He planned to reveal some of his true colors today. Every lie he told needed to be covered up by another lie, and he didn't want to make things so complicated.
Qin Wei didn't know that the person in front of him was slowly revealing his secrets to him.
