She said in a very low voice, "Doctor..."
Seeing Chu Ci open her eyes and look over, Chen Xiao continued, staring eagerly at Chu Ci in front of her, "Can I... sleep against you?"
That extremely uneasy look made Chu Ci breathe a sigh of relief and nodded at her.
Only then did she feel a little relaxed. She approached Chu Ci cautiously, and finally slowly rubbed into Chu Ci's arms, lying on Chu Ci's knees, holding Chu Ci's knees tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid that Chu Ci would drop her and run away. Only then did she fall into a light sleep.
Zhao Jinhuai on the other side took in this scene calmly. When he saw Chu Ci lowering her eyes and placing her fair hand on the little girl's head, a dark light flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to look away, Chu Ci seemed to have noticed his gaze, turned her head around, and met his gaze.
One of her hands was still on Chen Xiao's head, and the other was placed beside her. She looked over with a pair of bright black eyes, raised her eyebrows slightly, and stretched out her hand. "Are you scared too? You want to lean on me and sleep?"
He hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his hand and placed it in Chu Ci's palm.
Feeling the soft touch under his hand, he pinched it out of curiosity.
So soft.
Seeing that Chu Ci was also leaning against the wall with her eyes closed, he looked at their clasped hands, blinked his amber eyes, and leaned against the wall in the same posture.
The situation remained the same in the next few days. Although Zhao Jinhuai was very well-behaved and would come closer like Chen Xiao, there was no sign of love.
During these few days, all the water and food they brought with them were finally used up.
Zhao Jinhuai also distributed all the things in his backpack.
And there was still no news from the army.
Gradually, those who were originally full of hope began to become impatient with Chu Ci, Zhao Jinhuai and Chen Xiao. Some people even began to feel that Chu Ci, although he had so many titles at such a young age, probably would not be of much use to the country.
Chen Xiao's father didn't even know whether he was dead or alive in this apocalypse. If they stayed here with her any longer, they would be waiting to die. If they had taken all the food to find the gathering place of survivors at the beginning of the apocalypse, they would probably have met up with other survivors.
Their chances of survival will be much higher.
The discontent and quarrel reached its climax. Even after that, Chu Ci and Zhao Jinhuai participated in the defense work and had seen those monsters many times, but for these people, they still felt that they were a burden.
I don't remember at all how I strongly agreed to stay here and wait for rescue and escape from the monsters outside.
After they had adapted to the end of the world a little, they found that if they were careful with the monsters, although they were much stronger, they could still defeat them as long as they were careful. Then, they couldn't help but blame all the negative emotions in their hearts on Chu Ci and the other two.
Although he didn't say it explicitly in front of Chu Ci, the hostility in his eyes when he looked at them was growing.
The mood among the crowd reached its peak when all the food and water were gone and everyone had to set out to find a new hiding place.
Chu Ci didn't bother to care what these people said. After observing him for so many days, she really couldn't see anything wrong with this little boy.
