"My lord, I didn't know things would turn out this way, otherwise I wouldn't be here feeding the two little ones," Wan'er said softly, feeling somewhat guilty.
"Wan'er, it's alright, we don't have anything else on us except a little dog food."
"Since we brought the five black daylilies out, we definitely have to take responsibility for them. Next time, feel free to feed them; I'll protect you all," the Duke assured the girl, stroking her soft hair.
Feeling the warmth of the other person's large hand, Wan'er felt a great sense of security.
She feels she's becoming more and more dependent on him lately, and can't live without him anymore. Maybe it's because she's been lonely for too long, and suddenly having such a good companion has made her more and more dependent on him, and also more and more spoiled.
Junjue was well aware that his girlfriend was becoming increasingly dependent on him. This was exactly the effect he wanted; all he wanted in his life was to protect her and live a happy life with her.
Seeing that it was past midnight, she said gently, "It's getting late, let's get some rest!"
"Alright! Wuhei, Huanghuacai, you two rest well over there and don't disturb others! Master will rest now."
After giving instructions to the two little ones, Shangguan Wan'er lay down directly in the white quilt. When she saw Junjue lying down next to her, she nervously closed her eyes and turned to the side.
This was the first time she had been so close to a boy, especially lying on the same bed. Although there were many people around, she still felt very shy and nervous.
Sensing his girlfriend's nervousness, and seeing her turn away with a flushed face, he knew she was definitely shy, and whispered:
"Wan'er, don't be nervous. We'll be sleeping in the same bed for the next week, so get used to it quickly! Otherwise you'll have insomnia."
"Hmm! I'll try to get used to this kind of contact." Wiping the sweat from her palms, a wicked smile played on her lips as she turned around and wrapped her arms around her boyfriend's strong waist, feeling his whole body suddenly stiffen.
She heard rapid breathing above her head, her head pressed against the other person's warm embrace, feeling their heartbeat quicken. She looked up and gave them a defiant look.
Hey, it's everyone's first time dating, so why should I be the only one who's shy and nervous while you don't feel anything at all?
Feeling the other person's slightly stiff body and hearing their disordered breathing, I realized that I wasn't the only one who was nervous!
Whether it was because she was too tired lately, or because the other person's behavior made her feel more at ease, she soon fell asleep.
Junjue felt the even breathing from his arms and tried to relax his tense body. He looked at himself with a bit of self-contempt, thinking, "He's supposed to be my girlfriend! I'm not much different."
They hugged each other contentedly, and soon fell asleep. With two little dogs around, they felt very at ease.
As the two owners gradually fell asleep, Wuhei and Huanghuacai, who had been sleeping, opened their eyes and stared warily at the group of people around them who looked ill-intentioned, to prevent them from stealing things or disturbing their owners.
After confirming there was no danger, I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep, in case someone attacked me at any time.
The continuous natural disasters have made it impossible for people to stay in their homes, forcing them to take refuge in shelters and wait for rescue.
In this small and crowded room, Zhang Qiang and Yang Wei, two brothers in misfortune, sat in a corner, watching the sleeping couple.
Their eyes fell on the dog backpack next to the couple, and looking at their own thin bodies, a greedy desire arose in their hearts.
Like the two of them, many other people were also staring at the dog backpack and the two dogs belonging to the incredibly good-looking couple.
Zhang Qiang licked his lips lightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Yang Wei, are we really going to steal dog food? This is their only food, and they have two small black and yellow mongrels guarding it for them."
Yang Wei stared at the dog backpack, knowing there was still some dog food inside. A wicked smile crept onto his lips.
"Don't you think we also need food? It's the law of survival, and we can't give up our lives out of pity."
The two puppies were already asleep, and we weren't far away. As long as we were careful, we definitely wouldn't be discovered.
Besides, the two of us grown men have only eaten a few packs of biscuits all day, not even enough to fill our teeth. We're starving.
Zhang Qiang was conflicted. He understood that Yang Wei was right, but he couldn't shake off his inner moral constraints: "But what if we get discovered? It will be very embarrassing for everyone. It's better to wait for tomorrow's rescue."
Yang Wei sneered: "You still expect so much? The disaster has left us in ruins after several days of devastation. Who will care about us nobodies now? We can only rely on ourselves. Don't forget that our families are waiting for us."
Zhang Qiang silently lowered his head, his heart filled with helplessness and despair. His family had been taken from him in this natural disaster, and his former strength and optimism had been shattered by reality. He understood that Yang Wei was right, but he could not abandon the kindness in his heart.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Qiang raised his head, his eyes shining with determination: "Okay, Yang Wei, I promise you. We'll go steal dog food. Even if we get caught and scolded, it's better than being starving."
Yang Wei nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, let's get started now. Remember, be quick, grab it and get out of here as soon as possible."
"good!"
The two quietly got up, ignoring the stares of the people around them, and carefully walked past a couple to the dog backpack.
Zhang Qiang stretched out his trembling hand and gently touched the dust on the bag, a surge of excitement welling up inside him.
Just as the two men approached, Junjue and his two dogs had already woken up.
He felt that Wan'er was sleeping so soundly in his arms that he couldn't bear to disturb her; nothing was more important than his girlfriend's sleep.
He quickly used his psychic abilities to restrain the two dogs that were about to bark, to prevent them from disturbing his girlfriend.
He has countless amounts of dog food in his storage space; let those people steal it all if they want!
To avoid people in the room always eyeing the dog food, next time I'll feed the dog outside before bringing it back, so as not to attract people's attention to the dog food.
I sensed them carefully opening the dog bag, taking out the dog food the girlfriend had prepared, and then quickly resealing the bag.
The people around saw it and wished they could take its place, but the dog food had already been taken by someone else, making them so angry they wanted to jump up and down.
Looking at the couple sleeping like pigs and the two stray dogs, people realized they should have acted sooner. Seeing the empty backpack, the people around them lost interest.
I tried to fall asleep despite my hunger so I wouldn't feel hungry anymore, and that I could have a few biscuits to keep me going when I woke up the next day.
