Chapter 170 Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I think of is you
"Lantern Festival? Really..."
Qiao Lan responded lazily, yawned, and looked at the luminous clock hanging on the wall of the sleeping bag, which showed that it was past midnight.
She knew that Ye Qi was busy until midnight and only found time to contact her.
The two of them had already agreed that Ye Qi could contact them anytime, anywhere, no matter how late or early, as long as he was free, he could call. This was Qiao Lan taking care of him.
"Have you had supper? How much do you weigh today?" she asked dazedly.
"I haven't eaten yet. I'll eat before going to bed so that I can gain weight faster. My weight today is 141.2." Ye Qi answered honestly.
"Ah? You've lost weight again. How come you can't gain weight?" Qiao Lan came to her senses a little and was stimulated by the fact that Ye Qi Guang couldn't gain weight.
He was all muscle, so it was very difficult for him to store fat. If he was a little busy or trained harder, he would lose weight. Since he started the "Fat Together" project, he had indeed eaten a lot of Qiao Lan's food seriously, but he just couldn't gain weight.
Ye Qi heard Qiao Lan's dissatisfaction and quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, I will continue to eat more, and I will definitely gain weight one day."
Qiao Lan rolled her eyes.
No matter what, just eat it. Even if he doesn't gain weight, let him get more nutrition.
"I have two minutes left on the call. We'll meet at 12:30. We have a night combat training tonight. I'll take the Awakened to clear out the nocturnal mutant beasts around the base." Ye Qi said, "There have been more and more mutant animals lately, so we need to clean them up frequently. How are you doing?"
"Hey, same thing. We were out on patrol today, and guess what? We ran into a Level 3 High Sparrow. It was tough, but the crystal core was really good. There's still a lot of snow around the base, so be careful of getting poisoned when you go out and fight."
"Don't worry, the infrastructure team has not only cleared the snow inside and outside the base, but also cleared several nearby blocks, making the roads clear. We have low-level crystal cores with us, so any snow poisoning will be cured in time. Are you okay on patrol? Are you in danger? There's no one to help you clear the snow in the wild, so be careful."
"Don't worry, of course I'm fine." Qiao Lan smiled. "You're so busy and you're still contacting me. Do you miss me?"
"Yes, I really want to."
"What's the special method?"
"Every morning when I wake up, you're the first thing I think of. Even when I'm still asleep, you're in my dreams. I think of you while I'm eating, working, and training. If I'm too busy to think of you, I'll feel empty and blame myself when I'm done."
“…” Oh, this doesn’t have to be like this.
She was just teasing him casually, but she didn't expect him to answer so seriously and in such a serious tone.
Qiao Lan suddenly felt that the small communicator in her hand had become cute overnight. Had it also awakened?
"So, sister, do you miss me?" Ye Qi asked back.
"Oh, me?" Qiao Lan suddenly felt a little nervous, and the remaining sleepiness disappeared.
She, well... indeed... didn't seem to think of him all the time.
"Of course I miss you." She answered confidently, without feeling guilty at all. "For example, what did you say just now? Today is Lantern Festival, and I want to eat Lantern Festival dumplings. I also think it would be nice to eat them with you."
The smile in Ye Qi's tone was transmitted over here through the crackling sound of electricity.
"Thank you for thinking of me." He said seriously, "I also want to eat Yuanxiao with you."
But the time has come.
He's going to the assembly.
Not only can we not eat together, we can't even continue to discuss eating together.
This is the limitation of the end-of-the-world environment. Falling in love is a luxury.
Like a normal couple going shopping, eating, and watching movies together? In dreams, that's possible.
"Contact me again, I'm out."
"Um."
The radio waves stopped and communications were cut off.
Qiao Lan held the communicator and lay in the warm sleeping bag, thinking about it for a while.
Alas, when we first met, I didn’t know that Ye Yanwang was so good at making girls happy and saying all kinds of sweet words.
——Self-taught.
She suddenly recalled the kiss in the hospital room that day, and his smugness when he said he had learned it all on his own. Could it be that men were all naturally skilled in every aspect of love, including coaxing others?
It's a pity that she has never been in love and has no in-depth understanding of men, so she doesn't quite understand.
How about dating a few more people? Trying to have a few relationships...see if other men are like that too? Qiao Lan had a wild thought.
Then he calmly dismissed the idea.
No, there are too many people to feed, and she feels bad about the food. She can only feed Ye Qi...
Qiao Lan thought about it for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, he got out of his sleeping bag and tent, packed up, said hello to Xiao Fu who was on duty, and left the team alone.
This had been discussed long ago. The old chef and his friends would continue patrolling tomorrow, and she would track down Ms. Zhang and her gang at night.
A few minutes of meaningless casual chat with Ye Qi made Qiao Lan feel happy, and she didn't feel bored even when traveling in the snow.
Maybe this is the power of love, the magic of love? She guessed.
Traveling alone, she didn't resort to the clumsy method of pushing snow, but instead utilized her spatial abilities. With a thought, she gathered a large expanse of snow in front of her into her space. Then, after she passed the area, she released the snow and returned it to its original location. To a casual observer, the snow looked the same as before, not much different, yet she had already moved forward.
She didn't use this relaxing method during the day. One reason was that she didn't want to continue to expend too much energy so that she could keep her mind open to deal with possible sudden battles. The other reason was to train her companions' ability to survive in the snow. She couldn't do everything for them and delay everyone's adaptation to the end of the world.
Qiao Lan was moving forward by collecting and releasing the snow, and his speed was very fast.
The footprints left by Ms. Zhang's group were very clear. She followed the footprints, but she did not leave any trace on the snow.
After chasing for about a few kilometers, the moon in the sky gradually set in the west.
The footprints in the snow disappeared.
There is no trend, it disappears out of thin air.
It was as if that group of people walked here and suddenly disappeared.
This is no longer a wilderness, but the area of a town on the outskirts of the city.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
The tiny chirping of mice could be heard softly beneath the snow.
Qiao Lan looked down and saw a small black head poking out from under the soft snow.
With red eyes and sharp claws, it is one of the two little mice sent out to track.
Qiao Lan stretched out her hand, and the mouse jumped onto her arm and clothes, and gestured a few times with its two little front paws, which was the sign language taught by Xiao Li.
It turned out that the mutants had chased here and found that the enemy had disappeared, so they continued to chase it with their keen sense of smell. It returned to wait in the same place, waiting for Qiao Lan to come and show her the way.
I have to say that Xiao Li is very good at training scouts.
Qiao Lan took the mouse and followed the direction it pointed, making many turns and moving forward for another two or three kilometers until they reached the other end of the town.
“Ah…ah…”
Intermittent screams, weak and creepy.
In the quiet night, it becomes clearer and clearer.
The faint smell of blood guided Qiao Lan. Even without the mutant beast leading the way, she knew where to go.
