When Shen Jing asked him to store the supplies in his spatial storage.
I often receive messages from him through his social media profile.
Such as: not far from the western base, encountering a still-operating cold storage facility on the road, and this supermarket having a full range of supplies.
I initially thought that with his stroll-like pace, he wouldn't be able to arrive so quickly.
She never expected him to suddenly appear in front of her so quickly.
To be honest, Shen Jing is often too lazy to think things through and usually makes decisions based on her intuition.
But regarding Gu Yan's question...
She actually thinks about a lot of things.
If the "ice seed" thing is true, then Gu Yan's existence can also withstand scrutiny.
He said he didn't know anyone here.
She even said for sure that Shen Jing still remembered him.
However, this "remembering" is different from what he thought he remembered.
Through her dream, Shen Jing learned of her entanglement with him across two lifetimes. However, Gu Yan only thought that what she saw was the boy hiding in a dark corner, hugging his knees and looking helpless.
Actually, no, the two people's "memories" are on different channels.
But Shen Jing still tacitly allowed him to come to her side...
Seeing that Shen Jing remained silent, Gu Yan looked up and sized her up. "I really can do anything."
Hearing him emphasize that sentence again.
Shen Jing ran her fingertips across her forehead, not taking it to heart. "Are you the only one here?"
"Hmm." Gu Yan responded softly, "The unfinished building has already fallen. Fortunately, someone broadcast a warning beforehand and lured the zombies to the other side, otherwise all the survivors in the community would have been wiped out."
His voice was clear, and the slight tremor at the end seemed to reveal lingering fear.
However, if Shen Jing observed carefully, she would find that there was no emotional fluctuation in his eyes.
As Gu Yan spoke, he tried to take Shen Jing's backpack, saying, "Let me carry it for you."
They really weren't shy at all.
"Have you found a place to rent yet?" Shen Jing asked bluntly.
"Not yet." Gu Yan lowered his hands slowly, looking disappointed. "After I arrived at the base and was quarantined for a day, I wanted to leave you a message through the space, but it seems that I lost contact with the space. So I could only continue to look for you at the base, and I didn't expect to actually run into you."
He's really good at using his strengths.
He lowered his head slightly, gazing at Shen Jing with clear eyes, his voice still somewhat immature, revealing his dependence on her. His honesty seemed only to gain her approval, to earn him the right to stay.
Hearing Gu Yan's words, Shen Jing frowned.
"You can no longer access supplies via spatial storage?"
"yes."
He lost this privilege, but that's none of my business.
Gu Yan's words and the electronic voice coming from the space arrived simultaneously.
But Shen Jing wasn't sure what was going on either.
Is this space even working properly? It's open to outsiders one minute, and then it automatically closes the next.
However, Shen Jing immediately thought of another question: "Weren't you afraid that I might have embezzled your supplies?"
To be honest.
After Gu Yan put all the supplies he found along the way into his spatial storage, he lost access to it. Anyone would suspect Shen Jing's ill intentions, especially since she had taken the initiative to bring him to the west and have him store supplies there.
Did Gu Yan never have any doubts?
"The supplies I found were meant for you!" Gu Yan smiled broadly.
Looking at his expression, it seemed he was waiting for praise.
Shen Jing blinked and asked in confusion, "For me?"
"Hmm!" Gu Yan took a step closer, his forehead just touching hers when he looked down. "I can find supplies and cook, and I can handle all the heavy work... So, can I stay?"
Stay?
Shen Jing was somewhat bewildered. Why did he insist on staying by her side?
The space has enough resources for Gu Yan to live a life of luxury in the western base.
If it's a matter of permissions, she can retrieve the supplies for him separately and won't embezzle his share.
But then I realized that I was the one who had called him here.
Moreover, the various events in her dream made it impossible for her to abandon him.
She glanced at Gu Yan, who stood nervously to the side; his tall, thin figure looked rather pitiful. This made Shen Jing appear like a heartless woman who had seduced and then abandoned her lover.
But that's completely untrue.
Shen Jing sighed, "I'll take you to rent a place."
"Ah Jing! Can I not go?" Gu Yan immediately interjected, "I want to go with you."
"Really not going? Then you can stay here."
After saying that, Shen Jing slung her backpack over her shoulder and started walking towards the guesthouse.
The dark streets were bathed only in the afterglow of the moonlight.
Seeing Shen Jing leave without hesitation, Gu Yan stood there, stunned.
He stared blankly at Shen Jing's retreating figure without saying a word.
But after a moment, he followed.
And so this scene unfolded.
The girl in front of her was carrying a large backpack, and a tall boy was following behind her. He didn't dare to follow too closely, but he wanted to help Shen Jing with the weight of the backpack, so he took advantage of his height to lift the handle of the backpack for her.
Shen Jing, who was in front, was almost lifted up by him.
The scene was indeed a bit funny, and Shen Jing couldn't help but curl one corner of her lips into a smile.
However, Shen Jing still felt complicated when facing Gu Yan.
They were practically strangers, but my dreams of being with him had a touch of eroticism to them.
But to say how familiar...
She can no longer equate the dream with reality, the boy he was, or the adult he was.
The only certainty is that since we've caught up, this is the only way to go for now.
Yang Muyi, who was standing by the door looking out, happened to see this scene.
At first, I thought Shen Jing had been kidnapped.
But upon closer inspection, seeing Shen Jing's rather pleasant expression, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Muyi originally wanted to help Shen Jing take the backpack, but Gu Yan beat her to it.
"I'll do it."
After saying that, he carried his backpack inside.
Because of his skillful and affectionate gestures, Yang Muyi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where did you find him? Such a handsome and practical young man is a rare sight these days."
After all, before the apocalypse, people would still try to win a girl's heart.
However, after the apocalypse, when even they themselves could not survive, the most common scene they witnessed was the abandonment of their female companions.
But Yang Muyi immediately realized, "He wouldn't want you to support him, would he?"
It must be said that Yang Muyi's reaction was very sharp.
But it's understandable that she thought so. After all, Gu Yan was handsome, and the way he eagerly did the work did indeed make him seem like a young man begging to be supported. Moreover, he was trying to win over a rich woman; he could sell not only his looks but also his physical labor.
Shen Jing couldn't help but find it amusing, "You're overthinking it."
She patted Yang Muyi on the shoulder and continued, "I'm introducing you to a new tenant. You'll pay the rent as it should be."
There are two vacant rooms on the first floor.
Yang Muyi did want to rent it out, but she couldn't find many suitable places...
