Qin Xiaoxiao told Su Lu about the apocalypse, describing in detail the human nature and crises after the apocalypse. Su Lu listened in stunned silence, staring at Qin Xiaoxiao in shock.
After Qin Xiao finished speaking, Su Lu was still in a daze. It took him a long time to slowly turn his head to look at her.
"So, you come from the apocalypse, and all the supplies in your space were collected during the apocalypse?"
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, "Zero-yuan purchase, anyone who has read a post-apocalyptic novel knows that this is what you should do."
Su Lu looked completely bewildered. "What does this have to do with the novel?"
Qin Xiaoxiao sighed, "The world we live in now doesn't seem real to me before. It's a combination of one, no, several novels."
As she spoke, Qin Xiaoxiao waved her hand and took out five novels and a notebook, placing them in front of Su Lu and looking at him with pity.
"Honey, in our time, you were just a fictional character in a book, not a real person."
He pushed the five books toward Su Lu, gesturing for him to open them and read.
Su Lu blinked, looking at the five books and notes on the kang with surprise and uncertainty.
After thinking it over, Su Lu finally decided to open the first book.
After reading only two pages, Su Lu became furious.
"I didn't pay much attention to how Huang Yuan and Miao Feifei treated you before. Although I was angry, I had never experienced it before. Now... if I had known it would be like this, I should have taught them a lesson back then."
Qin Xiaoxiao waved her hand, "This is just the beginning. Keep reading, and after you've finished reading everything, look at the notes I gave you, and you'll probably understand what's going on."
Qin Xiaoxiao had no interest in explaining each book to Su Lu one by one. Hearing others talk about it and seeing it yourself are two different things; the experience is different.
After finishing her story, Qin Xiao ignored Su Lu and turned over to sleep.
Su Lu didn't close his eyes again that night. He endured all kinds of discomfort and finished reading three novels. In each book, there were people he knew, such as himself, his father, Qin Feng, Qin Ye, Shi Lei, Zhou Ying, Mu Jin, and the newly arrived educated youth Xiao Nanfeng. It turned out that he was not an educated youth, but a soldier who came to Qinjiagou to protect the people in the cowshed.
What bothered him most was that his wife, Qin Xiaoxiao, appeared in all three books, but in each book, she met a tragic end, and in some books, she only existed in people's memories.
After barely managing to finish three books, Su Lu couldn't read any more and picked up the notes Qin Xiaoxiao had given him to read again.
The notes recorded how she died each time, who the main character in the book was, and what kind of opportunities she had.
By the time Su Lu finished reading, it was already dawn. Qin Xiaoxiao was still asleep beside him. Su Lu sighed and hugged Qin Xiaoxiao's waist tightly with pity.
"Wife, I will protect you, I will never let you die."
In response to the deaths of the wives mentioned in the book, Su Lu prepared to revise his plan. He had to protect his wives and help them survive the ordeal.
Because Su Lu was so scared, he hugged her too tightly, making it hard for Qin Xiaoxiao to breathe, and she woke up immediately.
"What are you doing? Trying to murder your own wife first thing in the morning?"
Su Lu buried his face in Qin Xiaoxiao's neck, his voice trembling with tears, "Wife, I won't let you die, I will protect you, I promise."
Qin Xiaoxiao understood why Su Lu was so nervous, and couldn't help but feel relieved. She patted Su Lu's hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, I've already avoided death four times. There's only one more time. The last one is being gored by a wild boar. I just won't go out when the wild boar comes down the mountain."
Su Lu sat up cross-legged next to Qin Xiaoxiao. "Wife, tell me, did you have any superpowers after the apocalypse? Do you still have any superpowers now?"
Qin Xiaoxiao knew she couldn't sleep anymore, so she sat up as well. "I have superpowers, no, to be precise, I am a mutant. My strength has become very strong since the apocalypse, equivalent to five to ten times the strength of a normal man."
After I came across this body, I wasn't as strong, but I was still stronger than the average man.
Don't be fooled by my poor weeding skills; I'm just pretending. Otherwise, I'd be exhausted!"
Su Lu nodded. "And how's your health? Have you recovered?"
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, "It's recovered, it's been back to normal for a long time, I just didn't let anyone know."
Su Lu nodded in agreement, muttering to himself, "It's right not to let people know. Who knows what they're up to? People in this world are wicked; everyone wants to kill you."
After thinking for a moment, Su Lu noticed something amiss. "In the second book, Zhou Ying is the female lead, and the male lead is your brother. Now your brother is married to Su Yun, which isn't mentioned in the book. Does this mean that things in the book can be changed?"
Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "Otherwise what? If it were according to what's written in the book, I would have been sold into the mountains long ago, and you wouldn't be in the picture."
I know Zhou Ying has been reborn. She treated my brother badly in her previous life, and she wants to get close to him in this life. Now that I know, how can I just stand by and watch?
The key issue is that Zhou Ying is not a good person. If she were truly sincere towards my brother, I would turn a blind eye and agree to it. At worst, I would just avoid her in the future.
But she was clearly using my brother. She didn't have deep feelings for him; she just wanted to curry favor with him and live a good life with him. How could I agree to that? Of course, I had to intervene.
Perhaps it was my arrival that, by a twist of fate, made Su Yun develop feelings for my brother. Su Yun is a good person and a good match for my brother, so I stopped Zhou Ying and sent her to the farm, thus allowing my brother and Su Yun to be together smoothly.
But Zhou Ying is the female lead, and I'm just cannon fodder. Heaven won't allow someone like me, cannon fodder, to get my hands on the female lead. But my brother is different. He's the male lead, and in the book with Zhou Ying, he's the main character. Heaven favors him, which is why I thought of using my brother to get back at Zhou Ying.
Su Lu understood with a start, “So, you can’t deal with the female lead yourself, but you can use external forces, like your brother? Or Xiao Nanfeng? Shi Lei?”
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, "You're a promising student. That's right. The only way to deal with the female lead is to use the male lead. Miao Feifei died at the hands of Shi Lei's own sister. I didn't lift a finger."
Su Lu took a deep breath. "I understand."
Su Lu checked the time. "I have to go to the team to see if there's any work today. If not, I'll come back early and finish reading the remaining two books."
Seeing that Su Lu was about to leave, Qin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and lay back down, wanting to sleep a little longer.
As soon as she lay down, Su Lu followed suit.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at him in confusion, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Su Lu held Qin Xiaoxiao and kissed her for a long time before letting go. Looking into her eyes, he said affectionately, "Wife, leave the rest to me. You don't need to worry about these things anymore. Just live your life well from now on. One day, I will let you do whatever you want and live freely in this world." (End of Chapter)
