Cheng Shaolin was in a great mood today. It was a rare opportunity to chat with Xiaoxiao like this.
I had no desire to sleep at all; I just wanted to keep talking.
With Xiaoxiao by my side, I can say anything without feeling annoyed at all.
Time flies so fast, it's already very late.
"Xiaoxiao, it's getting late, go to sleep. Get up early tomorrow to cool off, and rest more at noon."
"Okay, goodnight." Li Xiao slowly calmed down, cleared her mind, checked her spatial dimension, and then went to sleep.
As Cheng Shaolin listened to Li Xiao's slow breathing, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
This feels so good. Having someone you care about sleeping peacefully beside you—there's nothing more comforting than that.
Not long after, he slowly closed his eyes.
By 5 a.m., the temperature had already risen, and Li Xiao was already awake.
He opened his eyes and got up.
Cheng Shaolin woke up early in the morning, but seeing that Li Xiao was still asleep, he didn't dare to move, for fear of waking her up.
Seeing that Li Xiao had woken up and sat up, Cheng Shaolin quickly got out of bed.
The two worked quickly and finished getting ready in just a few minutes.
Just like last night, Li Xiao started taking things out.
Although Cheng Shaolin had seen it last night, and more than once, he was still shocked in broad daylight.
Soon, a plate of steamed buns, a basket of steamed dumplings, two bowls of millet porridge, some pancakes I had fried earlier, a large carton of milk, some fruit, and a small bottle of pickled vegetables were placed on the table.
A table full of steaming breakfast appeared before Cheng Shaolin.
Cheng Shaolin stared blankly at the table, his heart still pounding strongly.
It's even more shocking than watching it at night!
Cheng Shaolin took a deep breath and comforted himself, "I have to adapt, I have to get used to it."
Li Xiao couldn't help but laugh as she watched Cheng Shaolin take deep breaths. "You usually seem so reserved and composed, but you can still be surprised sometimes."
"Eat first, and get more if you need more." Li Xiao set out the bowls and chopsticks and sat down to eat breakfast.
Then they took out another stool and set it up, putting away the recliner.
"Sit down and eat, so you can get back to work."
Upon hearing the word "work," Cheng Shaolin immediately snapped out of his daze. "Yes, there are still things to do; I can't delay."
I quickly sat down and looked at the porridge and steamed buns in front of me, still steaming hot.
The millet porridge was thick and golden, with a delicate fragrance. The steamed buns were plump and fluffy, looking incredibly appetizing.
The pancakes weren't quite the right color, and some were even a little burnt, but they weren't mushy.
Seeing Cheng Shaolin staring at the pancakes she had made, Li Xiao said shyly, "I made these myself. I was worried about a power outage, so I cooked everything that could be cooked. They might not taste very good. If you don't like them, just leave them. I've tasted them, and they're alright, just not very pretty." After saying that, she blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.
When Cheng Shaolin heard that Li Xiao had made it herself, his eyes lit up instantly.
So Xiaoxiao made it herself? I definitely have to try it. Cheng Shaolin had already forgotten his surprise and quickly picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
Although it doesn't look very appealing, it tastes pretty good.
It's crispy and fragrant, and while it may not be as good as a professional chef's, it's quite impressive for an average person.
"Xiaoxiao is right, it tastes pretty good. Although it doesn't look very appealing, it's still very crispy." She praised it while eating.
Li Xiao smiled shyly, knowing her own cooking skills were only so-so.
However, in the apocalypse, this was excellent food. Li Xiao also picked up a steamed bun and ate it with pickled vegetables while drinking her porridge.
The two ate their breakfast in silence, without saying a word.
Cheng Shaolin took care of most of the food, especially the pancakes. He ate four of them, while Li Xiao only tried one.
Finally, they each poured themselves a glass of milk and ate an apple.
This was the best and most sumptuous breakfast Cheng Shaolin had eaten since the apocalypse, and he was truly satisfied and content.
After packing up all her things, Li Xiao munched on a sweet and crisp apple and strolled downstairs behind Cheng Shaolin.
There are more zombies today; it seems the loudspeaker's effectiveness has decreased.
Even so, Li Xiao couldn't continue taking out live animals. Firstly, it was inconvenient, and secondly, she didn't want to waste any more.
One is enough; if that doesn't work, just kill him. Luckily, we have Cheng Shaolin, this powerful weapon, which is perfect.
Li Xiao quickly finished the apple and threw the core at the zombie that was lunging at her, which hit it right on the head.
Li Xiao took out the dog's leg, eager to try.
Cheng Shaolin looked at her, as if asking her if she wanted to come along.
Li Xiao didn't say anything, but swung his dog leg at the zombie in front.
She showed him directly through her actions.
Seeing how motivated Li Xiao was, Cheng Shaolin didn't stop her.
It's good for women to have some fighting skills. At least they can protect themselves from being bullied, unlike Qiu Fengyu before, who was bullied and powerless to fight back.
This is the last thing he wanted to see; he would rather she bully others than see her being bullied.
It's not about bullying anyone, it's just about being bullied. It's not about Li Xiao actively bullying others.
Li Xiao looks very courageous now, facing zombies without fear or hesitation, much stronger than the other women in the group.
Being cowardly and timid will truly make you look down upon.
If Li Xiao were helpless and needed protection, he certainly wouldn't say anything. But Cheng Shaolin didn't want Li Xiao to be looked down upon or criticized by others.
This requires Li Xiao to stand up for herself so that she is qualified to be on equal footing with others and not be looked down upon.
Li Xiao is doing very well now; she is independent, self-reliant, and strong, which is an excellent quality in the post-apocalyptic world.
Cheng Shaolin smiled happily as he watched Li Xiao diligently killing zombies beside him.
Working together, the two quickly cleared the area in front of the factory that Li Xiao had previously taken over.
“I arrived here earlier; I didn’t go any further ahead,” Li Xiao said, looking at Cheng Shaolin.
Cheng Shaolin turned his head and glanced at the factory. This was the third factory they had visited; there were several more ahead of them.
Xiaoxiao has been ahead of me for so long, how come she only got so few deals?
"Were there many zombies before?" This question confused Li Xiao. What did it mean?
"What do you mean by 'a lot' or 'not a lot'? Where is it not a lot?" Li Xiao asked, puzzled.
Seeing that she didn't understand, Cheng Shaolin explained, "I'm asking if there were many zombies when you came here alone before, and you only took over these few factories? Did something happen to you?"
Li Xiao understood. "A lot."
Li Xiao paused and did not continue.
Seeing that Li Xiao was unwilling to say more, just like yesterday, Cheng Shaolin looked at her with amusement and remained silent.
Li Xiao turned her head to look at him; this man's mind really changes quickly.
Li Xiao ignored him and ran forward.
Cheng Shaolin followed behind, shook his head, and smiled silently.
