Cheng Shaolin looked at Li Xiao in surprise, not expecting that only he knew the truth.
Then, after thinking about it, she realized that if anyone had known about Li Xiao's ability before, she wouldn't have left that team.
Who would let Li Xiao leave if they knew she had this ability?
Absolutely not.
This can be confirmed with Cheng Shaolin.
Cheng Shaolin took a deep breath.
"Xiaoxiao, you can't tell anyone about this from now on, understand?" He put his arm around Li Xiao's shoulder and said solemnly.
Li Xiao understood what he meant and nodded, saying, "I'm not stupid. I didn't say anything before."
Cheng Shaolin nodded, "Yes, it's right not to say. It's the apocalypse now, everything has changed. We couldn't trust anyone even before the apocalypse, let alone now."
"Anything can happen now. You can't judge other people's hearts by your own life. The most vulnerable thing is the human heart. We lack everything now, except human lives. Human lives are worthless at this time."
He said with a heavy heart, "Xiaoxiao, don't test other people's humanity with your kindness. The consequences will be terrible. I don't want to see anything happen to you."
"I know, but I didn't tell anyone beforehand. I didn't want to guess whether it was good or bad. I couldn't afford the consequences."
"Yes, it's a secret, don't tell anyone."
"But what if you find out?" Li Xiao asked playfully.
Cheng Shaolin laughed, like winter turning into spring, the ice and snow melting, warm and gentle.
"I told you, you can always trust me, and I will never betray you."
"Hmph, betrayal? You dare betray me? I'll kill you! I'm very powerful!" Li Xiao raised her small fist and shook it.
Cheng Shaolin laughed heartily, almost laughing until tears streamed down his face.
Li Xiao waved her fist and said, "What are you laughing at?" She couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Cheng Shaolin suppressed his laughter and said, "Yeah, you're very capable. If I betray you, you can beat me to death or kill me."
"Hmph, of course. Anyone who dares to betray us will be killed," Li Xiao said viciously.
Cheng Shaolin couldn't help but laugh again; how could Xiaoxiao be so cute?
Looking at the young girl in front of him, Cheng Shaolin felt an even stronger urge to protect her, to safeguard her bright and cheerful spirit forever.
Cheng Shaolin vowed in his heart, "I will protect my little girl and not let her get hurt in the slightest."
"Xiaoxiao, being cautious is the right thing to do. If you're unsure whether someone can be trusted, don't say anything and just focus on yourself."
Li Xiao thought so too.
Based on what Cheng Shaolin just said, Li Xiao felt that her behavior was correct.
It's a good thing to have someone you can trust.
In the apocalypse, someone can share the burden with you, so you don't have to bear the pressure alone, and you can relax a bit.
"Don't you think it's wrong of me to keep this from all of you?" Li Xiao asked, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at him.
Cheng Shaolin shook his head. "There's nothing wrong with it. Nothing is more important than you. You have the right to choose. I also agree with you not to say anything. Before things become clear, no one should say anything."
"I'm not telling them. They're a bunch of lunatics. I don't want to waste food on the good stuff I prepared." Li Xiao's face was full of displeasure.
Cheng Shaolin laughed, "You're right, mentally ill people don't deserve better."
Before they knew it, it was already dark, and they had lost track of time while talking.
Looking out the window, Li Xiao realized that she could no longer see clearly.
Cheng Shaolin noticed Li Xiao's movements and looked over in that direction as well.
Does time really fly by? It feels like it wasn't long before it got dark.
Li Xiao looked at Cheng Shaolin, wanting to ask him what to do.
Cheng Shaolin looked at Li Xiao and asked her, "Are you going to stay here overnight?"
Li Xiao was also about to ask him.
Is this a suitable place?
"It's okay, you can go wherever you want." Cheng Shaolin was fine with whatever Li Xiao decided.
Li Xiao rolled her eyes.
He took out the small bed that had been made up earlier, a solar-powered energy-saving lamp, and a knife from the space.
"Do you want to sleep on the bed or the chair?" Li Xiao asked.
How could we let Li Xiao sleep on the chair? "Sleep on the chair, the bed is yours."
Although I had already witnessed Li Xiao taking things without hesitation, I was still shocked to see it again.
Li Xiao nodded, offered him the chair, and sat on the bed herself.
Then she handed him the knife.
Li Xiao continued her lobster-eating spree. It wasn't over yet; there were still a few left. She'd finish them off and then go to sleep.
Cheng Shaolin took the knife and chopped at the watermelon on the table.
Click—
The watermelon was instantly split in two; continue cutting it into smaller pieces.
He finished the crayfish in a few bites, wiped his hands, and picked up a slice of watermelon to eat.
Yes, watermelon is still the best way to cool down in the summer.
Li Xiao gestured for Cheng Shaolin to eat as well. The melon was sandy, crisp, sweet, and very juicy.
Cheng Shaolin hesitated and said, "Is this too much for you? Keep it for yourself."
There's a shortage of everything now, and fruits like watermelons are extremely rare.
"Eat yours, I don't need this stuff," Li Xiao said casually.
Cheng Shaolin stared blankly at Li Xiao...
So generous!
Li Xiao raised an eyebrow. She had plenty of space, so she wasn't worried about running out of food.
Cheng Shaolin picked up a piece and took a bite. The cool texture and sweet juice slid down his throat, making him feel less hot.
Sure enough, I still need iced watermelon.
Cheng Shaolin silently finished eating the watermelon in his hand, gaining a new understanding of Li Xiao's actions.
I became more cautious and dared not be careless.
It's so rare; even the slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin. Not even the slightest mistake is acceptable.
Cheng Shaolin looked at Li Xiao, the young girl eating watermelon in small bites, her cheeks chubby. The soft light from the solar energy-saving lamp shone on her face, making her face hazy yet beautiful, as if it were glowing, which was mesmerizing.
Cheng Shaolin watched her eat one piece and then take another, her face full of satisfaction.
Having people you cherish and care about by your side brings a great sense of happiness.
Even in the apocalypse, he doesn't care; he can still protect it.
The occasional sounds of zombies in the distance did not disturb the cozy atmosphere here.
After the two finished eating the watermelon, Cheng Shaolin watched Li Xiao continue playing with the things outside, seemingly unfazed.
Li Xiao took out two buckets of water and prepared to wash up.
After taking a shower and washing up, Li Xiao comfortably lay down on the bed.
Cheng Shaolin also lay down; he hadn't recovered from the day's ups and downs.
"Xiaoxiao, what are your plans for the future? Do you still want to go back to the team?"
Li Xiao thought for a moment, "There are a few people in there who are really annoying."
Although Xiaoxiao's expression was not visible in the darkness, it was clear from her voice that she was somewhat agitated.
"You can do whatever you want, or you don't have to go back. It'll be convenient for you too, since there will be more trouble if there are too many people. If you don't want to go back, I'll go with you. Don't be afraid, I'll be with you."
Cheng Shaolin turned to face Li Xiao and spoke into the darkness.
Li Xiao also turned her head and looked at Cheng Shaolin.
