Chapter 385 384. Like and Like [Two in One]

Huaiyu was ecstatic: "There is no electricity!"

Lin Xuefeng said “hmm”, and then said: “Then we will slowly clean up after we get back.”

Zhou Qian also became happy: "Having superpowers is different! General Lin, you have this ability, you will have no worries anywhere! Xiaoyu has been thinking about buying a game console for a long time."

Lin Xuefeng looked at Huaiyu, who was also full of admiration, and said modestly: "I also learned it slowly later."

The three of them sat around the campfire and slowly finished this reunion and comfortable dinner.

While Lin Xuefeng was washing the dishes, Zhou Qian asked Huaiyu to go to the forest to collect more dead branches, and took the opportunity to educate her: "Xiaoyu, there is a difference between men and women. You can't sleep with Lin Xuefeng. That's inappropriate."

"Also, don't hold his hands and toss them around, and don't hug him for no reason."

"and……"

He recalled the look they had exchanged across the air and reminded him again, "General Lin is a good man, but he has been frozen for too long and may have post-traumatic stress disorder. Although he is trying hard to control himself, he is still very aggressive."

"At this time, if you come into contact with him every day, it will be easy to break his defenses and make him have paranoid thoughts about you."

They were in the defense army, and they would be like this after returning from a mission. Zhou Qian had seen it too many times.

Huaiyu lowered his head indifferently: "I understand the suspension bridge effect. But, Brother Zhou Qian, I like it this way."

Zhou Qian swallowed back the words he hadn't said yet.

"I like that he only has eyes for me now. He thinks my thoughts and feelings are the most important. He can say whatever I want...Brother Zhou Qian, he is different from you."

"Why is it different?" Zhou Qian was a little anxious: "You are still young, your emotions are so complicated..."

"You're thinking too complicated!" Huaiyu looked up at him.

"If I want it, I will work hard to get it. He is very cooperative and willing, so we are both happy."

"Besides, it's different. Brother Zhou Qian, you are very good to me, but you are my brother and you don't want to hug me more. But Lin Xuefeng will!"

Zhou Qian's face was about to turn red.

He did... When he and Zhou Ning were dependent on each other, he would definitely pay attention to girls when they grow up. In his opinion, Huaiyu was the same as Zhou Ning, and someone like Lin Xuefeng was definitely not suitable.

“Then…then…”

He, who was usually straightforward, was a little speechless.

After thinking about it, he could only ask again: "Do you really like him?"

Huaiyu thought for a moment and said, "It's different from the kind of love in the dream."

The love in dreams requires compromise and sacrifice, tolerance and concession, and is also accompanied by mental and physical exhaustion.

But her love now was very simple. She felt that Lin Xuefeng was very, very good. It just so happened that Lin Xuefeng was also very good to her, willing to protect her, take care of her, and obey her...

In short, being with him will not make you bored or unhappy, and you don’t have to worry about anything.

"I think this one is better!" Huaiyu compared them and came to the conclusion.

Zhou Qian thought about it and picked up the branch on the ground again: "I think you have been staying in the Rose Corridor for too long, and now your mind is the same as it."

Love and hate clearly, it’s that simple.

But he took two steps and stopped, then turned around and said seriously: "Xiao Yu, do it if you like. If one day he lets you down, I will also find a way to deal with him."

Even if it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, he would not let Xiaoyu face it alone. This long separation in the wilderness was enough to make him suffer.

In the darkness, his silhouette merged with the shadows of the trees, and the resolute look on his face could no longer be seen. But Huaiyu knew that Zhou Qian would treat her well no matter what.

She therefore dropped the branch in her hand and happily embraced it.

He held an arm full of branches.

But it doesn't matter, she is already very happy.

"Brother Zhou Qian, thank you for always being with me."

"……Um."

Zhou Qian stood there a little awkwardly: "I know. I'm very happy too."

When they returned to the car, Zhou Qian looked at Lin Xuefeng with some displeasure - although the distance was far enough, with Lin Xuefeng's ability, it was very likely that he had heard it.

However, the other party turned his head, his expression remained calm, and he only looked at Huai Yu intently, and took a step forward to take the branch from her arms:

"Are you still sleepy?"

Huaiyu let go of his hand and shook his head: "Not sleepy."

"Then let's roast a fire. I saw you brought some sweet potatoes. Do you want to roast them?"

Huaiyu instantly forgot the previous conversation and nodded happily: "One for each of us - Brother Zhou Qian, shall I pick a big one for you?"

Zhou Qian shook his head: "I'm full - don't roast it for too long, otherwise my chest will get hot and my back will get cold, which will make me sick easily."

"It doesn't matter!" Huaiyu looked at Lin Xuefeng expectantly: "He will raise the water curtain to block the wind!"

Zhou Qian: …

He was even more angry! He snorted, no longer showing any respect to General Lin whom he once admired. Instead, he turned his head and went straight into the carriage:

"I'm going to sleep for a while. Remember to wake me up in the middle of the night."

Since Xiaoyu likes her, he might as well create some space for her - he approves of Lin Xuefeng's character. If he falls in love with such a person, he will not be another Wu Yue even if they break up.

In that case, let's give Xiaoyu more chances.

After all, Lin Xuefeng seems to be really good at taking care of people.

He thought of the other person's efficiency in washing hair, dishes and clothes, and was thinking about the future division of labor in the family. Before he knew it, he fell into a deep sleep.

After all, Huaiyu was not the only one who couldn't sleep well at night after they separated.

Huaiyu had no idea that Zhou Qian's mind had made a 180-degree turn. She looked at the water curtain that Lin Xuefeng had raised effortlessly, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:

"This ability is very useful! Have you done this often before?"

It feels so private!

However, Lin Xuefeng shook his head: "No, I rarely used it before. I usually just imagined it in my mind."

"?" Huaiyu was a little puzzled. After all, Lin Xuefeng seemed to have a strong sense of order. Why did he rarely use this ability that could best separate private spaces?

Lin Xuefeng smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Yu, I am a garrison officer."

The garrison officers back then were able to command the entire garrison and lead the way in fighting. If one wants to have such leadership, how can one not integrate with the garrison troops?

His hands were once used to hold brushes and dip them in paint, but later, they were only used to direct sharp blades. He must be more decisive than anyone else, and he must also be more courageous than anyone else.

At the same time, he had to be able to fit in with everyone - the camaraderie of the army, eating, sleeping and fighting together. Privacy and compartmentalization were luxuries that only existed in peacetime.

Water curtain is the most useless use of supernatural powers.

At this moment, when the water curtain rose up around him and the cold wind was firmly blocked by the rippling waves, what surged out of his heart was a rare peace and tranquility.

Just like he saw Huaiyu.

…

Huaiyu also fell silent because of his words.

After a while she consoled him, "It's okay, you can use it as you like now! Practice more, and when you get better, we can build a bigger house and hire more people."

Lin Xuefeng laughed out loud. In the firelight, half of his face reflected a slightly swaying orange-red color, and his eyes also reflected a jumping light.

"Okay, I'll practice more."

Huai Yu withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and asked again: "Is there any way to let Brother Zhou Qian also gain superpowers?"

Lin Xuefeng was silent for a moment.

"I have no idea."

"As a defender, he must have been on the brink of life and death many times. If he hasn't developed any superpowers yet, it's very likely that he won't have any in the future. However... being able to be a defender proves that his physical fitness had been enhanced in the early stages of the catastrophe."

"Xiao Yu, if you want him to have superpowers, do you want him to be stronger? Or do you want him to be healthier and live longer?"

Huaiyu said as a matter of course: "It must be health and longevity! Brother Zhou Qian is also very powerful!"

"Then don't worry."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Lin Xuefeng explained: "According to the tracking and measurement in recent years, everyone's physical fitness has improved accordingly after the disaster. The life span difference between people with special abilities and those without special abilities is only 1-20 years, depending on their personal physical fitness. It's not that big."

"Will the next generation's abilities also be random?"

Lin Xuefeng nodded: "At present, yes."

"But you also saw that Liang Zhu you mentioned, after she gained superpowers, the difference between her and the ordinary people around her was not that big, right? The catastrophe changed the increasingly depleted planet, and we humans are more like insignificant appendages, so there is no need to worry about chaos in the future."

Huaiyu nodded happily: "In this case, we can live well by selling vegetables in the future, right?"

"Yes."

Lin Xuefeng buried the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the fire, looking calm: "Selling vegetables can support me, I am not picky about food."

Huaiyu thought about it and agreed: "You even eat fried soybeans with relish."

Lin Xuefeng laughed: "Do you still remember?"

"Of course!" Huaiyu said as a matter of course: "I was also very poor at that time, and soybeans were precious - but those small baskets you made were very useful. I used them to grow bean sprouts, and I finally earned some points!"

"Really?" Lin Xuefeng hesitated for a moment: "I can also weave mats, vases, and small flower pots..."

Looking at Huaiyu again, she was nodding with sparkling eyes!

"I have a bamboo forest!" she boasted. "Behind my house, I dragged back a mutant bamboo from Sanqing Mountain. It's called Kuang Biao. It's 6-8 years old this year. It's very good at growing bamboo! It's enough material for any kind of weaving!"

"Really?" Lin Xuefeng also showed an expectant expression: "But what does 6-8 years old mean? The age in years old and the age in lunar years old?"

Huaiyu shook his head: "No! It's Kuang Biao plus the age before the mutation, which is 8 years old."

Lin Xuefeng was slightly surprised, then looked at Huaiyu with admiration: "It seems that you can communicate with plants very maturely."

Huaiyu nodded and said proudly, "Yes! Super mature!"

“That’s amazing.”

His voice was gentle, his eyes were equally gentle: "But even if we can communicate, entering the wilderness is very hard and involves a lot of risks, right?"

"I haven't told you yet, I've heard a lot of things from you - Xiaoyu, I will make everyone who has wronged you pay the price."

Huaiyu waved his hands, looking very open-minded: "It's okay! There's no need to fight back, that's too petty..."

She thought about it and added carefully: "I will charge a lot of interest!"

Lin Xuefeng laughed: "I know, this is a good deal, right?"

Huaiyu nodded with satisfaction.

The fire crackled and a few sparks flew out, while Huaiyu stared at the fire in a daze.

Surrounded by the rippling water, this world is quiet and gentle.

After a while she suddenly asked, "Lin Xuefeng."

"Yeah." The person next to him responded softly.

"Do you like me?" Huaiyu looked at him, with fire in her eyes: "Listen to me, take care of me, hug me, and even hug me actively."

"So, is it gratitude or liking?"

Lin Xuefeng was not surprised.

“Yes.”

He looked back at Huaiyu seriously with a firm expression: "I am already thirty years old this year, and I can no longer confuse gratitude with liking. In my military career, many people have saved me and helped me - Xiaoyu, just like Zhou Qian and I are different, liking and gratitude are also different."

"I know the difference very well."

"When I couldn't move, I had already listened to your cries, understood your life, and responded to you for a long time."

When he tried his best to open his eyes, the girl in front of him showed her face beside the tree cocoon. She was as bright and happy as he imagined. The poor little girl who was lonely on the rainy night was finally wrapped in the sunshine and grew up without worries.

The shadows of the past had long been separated and thrown away by her. She was reborn in a brand new way, no longer accepting the worries and shackles of the mundane world. Even her emotions were straightforward and passionate without any concealment.

Just like the rose corridor rooted in Sanqing Mountain, likes and dislikes are revealed and clearly visible.

"I also long for someone to choose me unwaveringly and not give up on me. Hug, touch...Xiaoyu, everything you want is what I want too."

"You are always in my heart."

He cherishes her so much that even Zhou Qian doesn't want to contact her.

Although he tried his best to disguise himself and adjust himself, he couldn't help but reveal his emotions today when he subconsciously met the observer's eyes through the camera.

but……

Lin Xuefeng stood up, moved towards Huai Yu, then knelt on one knee in front of her and reached out to hold her hand.

"Xiaoyu."

In the firelight, a faint shadow covered his eyelashes, but half of his cheek was clearly visible.

He guided Huaiyu's hand to her chest, letting her feel the beating of her heart quietly, and then smiled: "Haven't I told you in person yet..."

"Thank you for the rose."

Thank you for saving me.

Thank you for not giving up on me.

Thank you for choosing me firmly.

The heart that had been patched by the rose roots was now beating and leaping with joy, expressing his feelings with great joy:

"I will do better than you ever thought possible and make you freer than before."

Huaiyu stood there and could also feel the rapid beating of his own heart and the happiness and satisfaction overflowing from his chest.

She looked at Lin Xuefeng steadily, slowly pulled her hands away from his chest, and then stretched out her hands again: "Then... I want a very, very safe hug now, can you?"

Lin Xuefeng smiled as he calmly stood up from the ground, then took a step forward and hugged Huai Yu tightly in his arms.

Here it comes! This is the update for the 19th. I’ll post it in advance after I finish writing it!!!
