Star-Moon University Shelter.
Ignoring the darkness, a group of people, armed with three Tai-powered rechargeable flashlights, illuminated the shelter's immense fighting power, completely unconcerned about the mutants and ferocious beasts that might suddenly appear from outside. They dug the rudiments of two wells. Another group, along with the mutants, cleared the two collapsed buildings, dragging the shattered rocks and rebar from the campus.
Liu Gaofeng felt happy as he looked at the progress made in the school today.
He also knew these days that what Little Boss wanted to see most in his heart was that the shelter became better and better, from the water and electricity equipment to the survivors' residences. Every time there was progress, Little Boss's eyes would light up, like a child who had received sweet candy.
"Come on, let's go back and eat. Hehe, let's dig it a little deeper tomorrow. I guarantee it'll last for decades!"
"I think if we work harder tomorrow, we might be able to clear the rubble of the three collapsed buildings. Those mutant black and white bears are incredibly strong!"
"I thought those black and white bears would ignore us, but after Lao Zhou's constant talking and gestures, they actually understood what we were trying to do. These mutant animals are really smart!"
"Hehehe! Today we dug a well and cleared the wasteland. When Little Boss and the others return from the Longquan Survival Base, they'll definitely praise us!"
"That's right!"
…
The other side.
Xia Ruanruan had no intention of praising the people in the Xingyue University shelter. She even wanted to grab their collars and shake them loudly, asking them why they were digging wells and reclaiming wasteland so late at night?
Hadn't all the wasteland at the school been reclaimed?! Where on earth did they find all this new land?!
"you……"
Xia Ruanruan opened her mouth, but stood there motionless, glaring at Chu Hang and the other man, feeling rather guilty. She had been so angry just a moment before, wanting to fight the pufferfish, but now she had completely wilted, like a frost-bitten cabbage. Her face was wrinkled, and for a moment she didn't know what to say...
"you……"
Chu Hang opened his mouth subconsciously, but he didn't know what to say at this moment. He watched the white and tender little dumpling in front of him grow nearly 30 centimeters taller, from a 4-year-old child to about 7 years old. Even compared with his own height, the little girl was still short and petite, but this growth rate visible to the naked eye was definitely not something that ordinary people could have.
If a four-year-old girl has round eyes, chubby cheeks, and a fair and tender complexion, she is very cute.
So, seven-year-old Xia Runrun has begun to grow up gradually. Her round eyes are slightly elongated upwards, her chubby little chin is gradually growing towards an oval face, and even the baby fat on her cheeks is slowly fading away.
She has rapidly transformed from being cute to being beautiful. Even though she still looks immature due to her age, she has been described as beautiful by countless people.
Of course, the most obvious thing was that the slightly loose clothes on the little girl had become tight...
The arms and wrists that were originally wrapped in the down jacket were all exposed, and even the shoes no longer fit. The instep of the foot was arched and very crowded.
Chu Hang: "You..." Do you want to change your shoes and clothes...
Xia Ruanruan: "You..." You won't be angry, will you?
Chu Hang: "I..." I'm sorry...
Xia Ruanruan: "I..." I really didn't mean it...
They both spoke at the same time, but stopped at the same time because of the other's voice. For a moment, even the air seemed to be stagnant.
Feeling the awkward atmosphere in the air that was so thick that it was almost condensed into substance.
Xia Ruanruan couldn't utter the question she had been holding in her mouth a few minutes ago. The vest had been dropped so suddenly that even she was a little confused. But seeing the two of them staring at each other, it was not a good idea to just stand there frozen, so Xia Ruanruan decided to strike first.
Anyway, she still has the body of a child. Even if she grows from 4 to 7 years old, she is still a little kid. It has always been a child's privilege to act like a naughty child to adults.
Xia Ruanruan: As long as I am not embarrassed, then I am not the one who is embarrassed!
"I've already said that I'm an adult, but Xiaobai himself didn't believe it!"
The little girl's face was serious and she was angry. "Even when Grandma Yang was preparing things for me when I went out this morning, I told her that I was an adult!"
Chu Hang thought carefully about what happened during the day, and it seemed... that was the case...
But he never had much facial expression, and it was dark at night. Xia Runrun looked at him for a long time but couldn't see any changes on his face. Her heart skipped a beat and uneasiness spread outward. But the more guilty she felt, the more she couldn't show it, and instead she had to turn the tables.
Xia Ruanruan acted like a little adult, with her hands on her hips, trying hard to suffocate her eyes, tears welling up in them. "Xiaobai, you're really going too far! Not only did you not believe me, but you also lied to me and said you didn't know Chu Hang, that your last name wasn't Chu. You completely pretended not to know me, even though we've known each other for so long. How could Xiaobai still pretend not to know me? ~Wuwuwu~ Xiaobai is really going too far~"
The little girl was sniffling and crying, and her pitiful appearance was so heartbreaking.
Especially since the little girl was already pretty and cute, with fair and tender skin, her tears not only made her eyes red, but also her nose and cheeks slightly red. Add to that her shaking shoulders and her wilted and aggrieved look. Even the most hard-hearted person would have to soften their heart at this moment. Especially since the person in front of Xia Ruanruan was Chu Hang, who had always had a good impression of Xiao Tuanzi and regarded her as a kindred spirit, and he felt even more sorry for her.
Chu Hang: Okay, it seems I went a bit too far...
Seeing the little girl crying like this, Chu Hang was a little at a loss for a moment.
In fact, in his opinion, everyone has their own secrets. Just now, Xia Ruanruan suddenly grew taller. Although it was strange and surprising, he never thought of getting angry. The two of them had been together for nearly a month, and most of the time, he was just a cat. How could an ordinary person tell everything to a cat? Even if the cat could transform into a human at night?
But……
Seeing the other person crying so sadly, Chu Hang began to doubt himself and wondered if his thoughts were different from those of ordinary people.
"Wow~ I said I've grown up, but Xiaobai still keeps pressuring me to learn elementary school texts like 1 plus 1 equals 2~ Wuuuu~ It's all Xiaobai's fault for not believing me~ hiccup~" The little girl started to hiccup while crying.
"A-choo!"
A gust of cold wind blew, and the little girl even sneezed loudly. Coupled with her red eyes, she looked so pitiful.
Seeing the little girl's bare arms and ankles exposed because her clothes were too short, and the visibly layered goose bumps due to the cold, Chu Hang felt guilty. He took off his white coat and put it directly on the little girl. The white coat used for experiments was already very long, and this time it dragged to the ground, covering the girl tightly.
Chu Hang sighed, "This is my fault. Let's go back and change clothes first. I'll tell you the rest later..."
He placed his palm on the little girl's head and rubbed it, just like how Xia Runrun comforted the little white cat every time these days.
Although he still didn't quite understand why the little girl in front of him was crying so miserably when they were just two small things that could be solved by talking it out, it was indeed his fault for making her cry.
