But as long as I can watch it, I feel a great sense of accomplishment. Xie Yuancheng always says that I am easily satisfied and can be happy for half a day over a small thing.
"You're no different."
"That's right, after all, we're family. Otherwise, how could we be part of the same family?"
I can't argue with him. Anyway, Xie Yuancheng usually gives in to me, so I'll give in to him too.
We hadn't been to the library in a long time. Before I even woke up, Xie Yuancheng was already getting me dressed and ready. I laughed and said that this was all done by the wife for the husband, and that things were completely reversed here.
"That's because Ying'er is my precious baby. If I don't pamper her, and she runs off with someone else, Yu'er and I will be devastated."
"Yes, that makes me very happy."
I leaned against Xie Yuancheng's back and asked him to carry me. He always said that I was thin and that it wouldn't be heavy for him to carry me.
When we were almost at the entrance of the residential complex, I told him to put it down quickly, but he wouldn't.
"Yuancheng, there will be more people outside, please put me down quickly."
"No way. You're the one who tried to jump on my back. Go outside and let others see you."
I was reminded of a TV series I watched not long ago: "You look like Pigsy carrying his wife."
Xie Yuancheng was indeed annoyed: "Ying'er, how do I look like a pig?"
"It's definitely not related. How else would you put me down?"
I hurriedly ran forward, thankfully I had my access card with me, and I was out with a swipe. I secretly hid by the flower bushes outside, and as soon as I looked up I didn't see Xie Yuancheng. Just as I was about to turn around, he picked me up from behind.
"Ying'er, you're running so fast, be careful I'll catch you and take you back."
"Hey, let go!"
It was so embarrassing to be seen outside. Luckily, Xie Yuancheng let go of me. To express my apology, I kissed him until he was satisfied.
He was just getting excited when he took me outside, but the library, which is usually bustling with activity during the day, was unexpectedly closed. The large screen above was still displaying a message urging citizens to take care of themselves due to the suddenness of the situation and that the library would reopen after the crisis had passed.
I looked around and saw that there were very few cars on the road. Occasionally one would fly by, but it would quickly disappear into the distance.
An elderly couple came over carrying large and small bags of things, and their eyes widened when they saw us.
The old lady said, "You two children, don't come out. It's too chaotic outside. Come back with us quickly."
Two kids?! I wanted to argue, but Xie Yuancheng isn't even twenty-two yet, and I'm still nineteen. I won't be twenty for another two months after giving birth to Yu'er. In local parlance, we're not even qualified to get a marriage certificate yet.
Xie Yuancheng is still a few months away from graduating from university.
"Grandpa, what's wrong? My boyfriend and I are on our way to the library."
"Don't go yet, let's go in first. Have your parents bought all the food? If not, hurry up and go to the supermarket. They're running low on food now, and if you go too late, they'll all be gone."
Seeing that they were old, Xie Yuancheng hurriedly helped them carry the bags. The two elderly people clapped their hands when they saw that he could lift the two large bags with both hands, and quickly opened the door to let us in.
I heard noises above, and many helicopters flew by. What's going on today? There are few people on the road, and planes are flying everywhere in the sky.
Xie Yuancheng saw them to the door, and I massaged his fingers.
Seeing you reminds me of our youth. Let's go home now, and we can talk again another time.
The old lady was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and I was still a little confused, but Xie Yuancheng pulled me away.
"Yuancheng~ Your hands are all red, let me massage them for you."
"Go back and massage it slowly."
"Shall we go to the supermarket?"
Xie Yuancheng turned around and smiled: "Ying'er, last time I went with you, we bought several truckloads of snacks and food. The house is full of them, it's like a small warehouse. If you go to buy more, be careful you don't get kidnapped."
I imagined asking him to drive me to the supermarket one day. It was my first time shopping at a supermarket, and everything seemed new and exciting. I bought a lot of food, spending tens of thousands of yuan on groceries. Xie Yuancheng was laughing beside me, and later I finally understood what he was laughing about.
It took us five trips to transport all these items back.
The people around me were laughing at me, and I felt like I wanted to disappear into the ground.
As soon as I entered the room, I started applying the ointment to his hands. He had made it based on some kind of anti-wrinkle or anti-aging cosmetic. To my surprise, the red marks on his hands healed very quickly after I applied it.
"It's all because Ying'er is overly concerned. This is hardly a wound; a little rubbing will do the trick."
"You are mine, and I will be sad and upset if you get hurt even a little bit."
"Ying'er~"
"Oh dear, stop being so cute. Go check what happened."
Xie Yuancheng handed me his phone; the internet was flooded with news of monsters from outer space invading. Photos of those monsters attacking people were being posted all over the world.
"Oh, how scary!" I saw a very frightening photo and quickly covered my eyes.
Xie Yuancheng turned off his phone and hugged me tightly: "Ying'er, I will protect you."
"Should we inform the shopkeeper?"
“He has already sent a message. We were fooling around when we went out, so we didn’t notice. I just replied to him.”
What did he say?
"I still cooperate with him every day and don't go out. He asked once if we needed anything, but later found that we had too much, so he didn't ask anymore."
I nodded: "Will everything be fine if we don't go out?"
“I’ll go close the windows, then connect the electric grid to the yard and add another grid. They’ll sound the alarm when they come in. Then I’ll take Ying’er and hide in the isolation box that Master has arranged.”
I was relieved. Luckily, the manager had made arrangements. I followed Xie Yuancheng and watched him add the grid. This place is really great. With just a mobile phone and tablet, you can control the electric grid in the yard. The grid was all set up in less than three minutes.
Looking out the window, it looked like a honeycomb. Xie Yuancheng also pressed a switch, locking all the doors and windows in the room, and the curtains closed automatically.
"Wow, Yuancheng, how did you do that?"
He pinched my nose: "You're usually so naughty. These are all very simple. I'll show you how to do them in a bit."
I excitedly followed him. He had written a program to control the doors, windows, and curtains of his family. All he had to do was enter a password and press a button.
"He truly lives up to his reputation as my man; he's amazing."
He's been here for a year and has done so many interesting things. When I praised him, Xie Yuancheng covered his face, and I poked his face with a strand of hair.
Hearing a noise outside, Xie Yuancheng hurriedly activated his X-ray vision net. It turned out that some people were playing loudspeakers, saying that it was very dangerous outside, that there were monsters attacking people everywhere, and that the community was now being sealed off, and that no one should go out.
Xie Yuancheng started talking to the shopkeeper again, and I asked the shopkeeper why he wasn't putting these things away.
"Sigh, these were all developed by people from 2020. In order to avoid criminal punishment, they were rumored to be monsters from outer space."
