Chapter 48
Xiao Xu, wearing his foam battle suit, blocked the entrance to the cave. Today he was going to clean up the cave completely and make it his home.
Xiao Xu has never had a home in his entire life (crying pitifully), so he especially cherishes this cave that can become his home. For this purpose, he specially prepared a foam battle suit.
He stopped at the entrance of the cave, and sure enough, the thing he was most worried about happened. Although this was the home he had his eyes on, Xiao Xu had been different from ordinary people since he was a child and had a huge physique. The door of this house was really small, and he didn't dare to go in rashly for fear of causing a collapse accident.
So he stopped there first, observed the condition of the cave entrance, and after confirming that there was no problem, he continued to move forward little by little. Most of the foam armor on his body was scraped away by the cave entrance, leaving only a little bit left for him to help him move forward.
The cave was pitch black. Xiao Xu raised his head to feel the situation. The soil was damp and a little soft. It looked like there would be no danger of collapse. He could be bolder.
Xiao Xu immediately became happy. The cave was very deep. He wanted to get to the innermost part as soon as possible to check the situation and see if the environment inside was suitable for him to live in. So he ran in again. The passage suddenly became narrow, as if it was going to swallow him. Xiao Xu stopped calmly.
What sound did he hear?
Xiao Xu tilted his head and listened carefully. The gurgling sound seemed to be the sound of water hitting rocks. Could there be a river at the end of this cave?
With curiosity in his heart, he continued to move forward, squeezing through the narrow path. Sure enough, the further he went, the more humid the surrounding environment became, and there was even hot air. The hot air condensed into water vapor, making Xiao Xu wet and sticky all over.
Xiao Xu is a persistent person. Having come this far, he must reach the end to see the scenery there.
After his unremitting efforts, he finally passed the narrow part of the cave and suddenly fell into the warm spring. The steaming hot spring water hit his face, scalding him so much that he shivered all over, and then he felt as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring.
Xiao Xu couldn't help but sigh, this is indeed a good place, he wants to live here for the rest of his life.
He wanted to leave his mark here to prove that this place belonged to him.
Jin Yan, the other half, had just finished listening to Qiangzi's report. Fortunately, there were no troublemakers. Those who had originally planned to hold a demonstration in Inaba City all went back in disgrace.
He yawned and looked at Zhao Ke, who had just come out of the shower: "It's late, let me stay for one night."
Zhao Ke thought about it, went to a very special room, and took out a small bottle: "Okay, try the medicine."
Jin Yan: "What medicine?"
Zhao Ke: "You'll know after you eat it."
Jin Yan took the bottle and looked at it: "I won't eat bitter food."
Zhao Ke put on his glasses: "Not bitter."
Jin Yan swallowed the pills without saying anything else and chewed them. It really wasn't bitter at all, but rather sour and sweet. He even wanted to take two more pills.
"Ah, I'm going to die, Qin Xu, I'm going to die..."
Jiang Ning's voice was trembling. He felt that his soul was floating away and floating on the clouds. He was about to ascend to heaven. He needed help. Only Qin Xu could save him. He called Qin Xu's name again and again, and finally called him husband.
Qin Xu didn't care about him. The little zombie was just delicate. He probably had a nightmare. He just drank milk by himself. Eating was the most important thing in the world. In this late autumn, he drank a few sips of milk before eating to warm his stomach so that he could enjoy the meal.
He sucked the bottle nipple like a three-year-old child, sucking hard, and the fruit pulp was sucked up by him. Today's fruit pulp was the tip of the strawberry, showing a delicious pink color in the milk. It was sour and sweet and very appetizing. He liked it very much, so he bit the tip of the strawberry densely.
Jiang Ning's cry for help disappeared at some point. Perhaps he knew that it was useless to ask Qin Xu for help, or perhaps he didn't have the energy to do so.
He gave up, his eyes lost focus, and only the still rising and falling chest proved that he was still breathing, he was still alive.
Jin Yan tugged at his collar, feeling something was amiss. He felt a bit hot. "What kind of medicine is this? A warming medicine? It's supposed to keep people warm this winter and keep them from feeling the cold?"
Zhao Ke on the opposite side was holding a pen and a notebook, staring at the beads of sweat appearing on Jin Yan's forehead. After looking at the time, he wrote down seriously in the notebook: 10 minutes, the drug will take effect.
Jin Yan leaned over and looked at his notebook. What was going on? He was so mysterious. He was so hot that he even took off his coat. He didn't forget to praise him: "Your medicine is effective, but I think it's a bit too strong. It's not suitable for the elderly and children."
He stood up and wanted to pour a glass of water, but he fell to the ground after taking a step. He looked at his legs in surprise and heard a rustling sound.
Turning around, Zhao Ke, wearing a navy blue silk pajamas, elegantly crossed her legs, her slender fingers holding a thin pen, began to write on the paper again.
He paused after writing two words and then raised his head, looking at the somewhat embarrassed Jin Yan with the calm eyes of observing a test subject. The light shone on his lenses, a clear and cold light.
Jin Yan noticed the change in himself. He looked at Zhao Ke's eyes wandering over him, confirming that he had also noticed the change in himself. However, Zhao Ke just withdrew his gaze and continued writing in the notebook.
A feeling of anger and shame rose in Jin Yan's heart. He rarely had such emotions, but this time he was very angry.
Zhao Ke raised his head when he heard the voice, but Jin Yan was no longer in his original position. He only had time to see a staggering figure and a closed door.
There was a loud "bang", as if the door wanted to collapse the room and bury him.
Zhao Ke blinked and wrote a question mark on the notebook.
Jiang Ning was lying there, her hair wet with sweat and tangled into strands. Her slender neck was bent downward, making her cervical vertebrae more visible. A drop of sweat was condensed on the top joint, but it was not his sweat, but the sweat that had fallen from Qin Xu's hair.
The sweat beads swayed on the joints and then slid down, falling into the clavicle pit full of teeth marks on Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning wanted to curse, he really wanted to curse, but his head kept bumping against the front, which made him want to curse even more. If his voice hadn't been hoarse, he would have cursed.
Fortunately, his situation was soon discovered and a big hand blocked his head.
Jiang Ning was so angry that he tried to bang his head against the hand, saying, "You are not a human being." But the big hand seemed to be teasing him and played with his hair a few times.
Qin Xu: "I feel relieved that you still have so much strength."
Jiang Ning:!!!
No! I don't have the strength anymore!
Snow started falling outside the window again, and the falling snowflakes seemed to indicate the happiness of their creator at this moment.
Liao Feng, Zhao Ran and Qiao Baan, who were drinking, looked at the falling snow in surprise.
Liao Feng: "Why is it snowing again? Is it really snowing today?"
Qiao Baan's high-heeled glass was filled with sugar water. Don't ask, the answer is elegant. He looked at the falling snow outside. In an instant, all the lights were on again, but soon returned to normal.
He shook the goblet: "It seems that the boss is very happy."
Liao Feng drank the baijiu like water, gulping it down. "Of course I'm happy. I've calmed down those people who were about to cause trouble. I've been wanting to set some rules for them for a long time. They say there's no freedom here, but they really want everything. Damn it, who in this world has true freedom?"
Qiao Baan glanced at him. Young, or too young. The reason he said he was happy was not because of this.
Zhao Ran sent a video call to Zhao Ke. When the call was connected, he found Zhao Ke outside and was a little surprised: "Why are you still out so late?"
Zhao Ke: "What's up?"
Zhao Ran had already gotten used to his brother's coldness. He chuckled and said, "Did you see your brother on the live broadcast today...eh? Brat! You're hanging up on me again!"
Zhao Ran snorted, picked up the beer bottle and took a sip: "Hey, why don't I have a good brother."
Jiang Ning dazedly saw the snowflakes falling outside the window and said intermittently, "Qin Xu, I want to go see the snow."
God really helped him, and finally he had a reason to end it.
God, I thank you.
"Okay." Qin Xu agreed painfully.
Jiang Ning was so moved that she almost cried. Qin Xu, I consider you still a human being. It seems that Qin Xu must be tired too. After all, how long has it been? It was almost dawn outside.
Qin Xu picked him up and carried him out of the bedroom. Jiang Ning was a little confused and said in a hoarse voice, "You haven't put on your clothes yet."
Qin Xu did not take him out, but put him in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Their building was very high and there was no obstruction in front, so he could see as far as he could see.
It's just that it's still dark now, so I can't see too far.
The glass was still a little cold. Jiang Ning pressed against it, and goosebumps appeared on her skin, but she was more afraid. "Qin Xu, you are crazy."
Qin Xu buried her head in his neck and sniffed hard: "You don't want to see snow."
Jiang Ning: Am I looking at the snow? Or are they looking at me?
Qin Xu: "You watch your game, and I'll play mine. Do you want me to make the snow heavier?"
Jiang Ning's slender fingers pressed against the window were tense, and her fingertips curled up uncontrollably, then lowered a little bit, sliding down without any strength.
The heat in the room and the cold outside caused a layer of white mist to rise from the window, leaving traces of Jiang Ning's fingers sliding down.
Qin Xu pinched his chin from behind, lifted his head and pressed it against the window. The breath from his mouth continued to dye the window white. The white mist quickly receded, revealing Qin Xu's tall figure and a face that was completely different from usual, sexy and aggressive.
The hot air coming out of Jiang Ning's mouth spread through the window to the lips of his shadow, as if she was stealing kisses from him.
Their eyes were fixed on the window, and Jiang Ning fell into it again: "Kiss me."
When the golden light rose from the distance, it meant that the night was finally over, but Jiang Ning did not see this beautiful sunrise. He fell asleep long ago.
It was a new day again, and people went about building the city wall as normal. Everyone continued with their work from yesterday, as if nothing had happened last night, and no one left the city.
Time ticked by and no one came to disturb Qin Xu and the others.
When the sun reached its zenith, Jiang Ning's face was wrinkled and looked a little miserable, his eyes and mouth were swollen, and he opened his eyes with a groan.
He was a little confused for a moment, and couldn't remember what happened last night. He just felt pain all over his body as if he had been beaten up by seven big men.
"woke up."
Qin Xu's voice sounded from behind, and Jiang Ning's memory gradually recovered. The seven big men became one Qin Xu.
He was so angry that he wanted to turn around and beat up Qin Xu, a guy who was even less human than him, a zombie. However, as soon as he moved, he grimaced in pain.
"Don't move, just lie down. I'll get you some water and food."
Jiang Ning felt as if he was paralyzed. He was determined to scold Qin Xu, but the moment he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse in his throat, as if he was holding a pile of gravel and rubbing it against his throat.
Jiang Ning: This thing is really deadly.
When Qin Xu came over with food and drinks, Jiang Ning tried to glare at him and condemn him through her swollen eyes.
Qin Xu helped him sit up, looked at his squinting eyes, and said with a smile: "Stop winking at me."
Jiang Ning: Which eye of yours saw me winking at you? I'm suing you for slander! Defamation!
After Qin Xu fed him half a glass of water, his throat finally felt better. The first thing he said was: "You are not a human being."
Qin Xu nodded in acknowledgment: "Be good, don't scold me for now. Wait until your throat and body are healed and you have the strength to do so." As he spoke, he scooped a spoonful of tender egg custard and fed it to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning felt that what he said made sense. When he recovered, he would definitely scold him for the 800 yuan. He quickly finished the bowl of egg custard. He hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time. "I want more."
Hearing these two words, Qin Xu suddenly smiled ambiguously.
Jiang Ning reacted immediately and kicked him hard.
Qin Xu laughed out loud: "You said the same thing last night."
Jiang Ning blushed: "I didn't."
Qin Xu picked up the bowl of porridge: "Then I'll help you recall."
Jiang Ning was furious: "Shut up! Feed me!"
Qin Xu was trying to hold back his laughter, his hands shaking as he held the bowl of porridge: "You asked me to feed you last night too."
Jiang Ning almost suffocated. He couldn't live like this anymore. He was about to lie down again and eat something. He was so angry that he was full of it.
Seeing this, Qin Xu quickly stopped him: "Okay, no more talking, let's eat."
Tears suddenly fell on his hands. Qin Xu panicked and quickly put down the bowl of porridge and sat forward: "Don't cry, your eyes are so swollen, you will hurt them if you cry."
He lifted Jiang Ning's lowered head, grabbed his hand, and said distressedly, "Shut up, if you feel uncomfortable, just hit me. Don't cry, I'll let you hit my face this time, okay?"
It's all his fault. He just couldn't help but want to tease the little zombie. As he said that, he took Jiang Ning's hand and hit himself in the face.
Jiang Ning would never really hit him. She looked at him aggrievedly: "Don't bully me all the time. I'm feeling very uncomfortable. And you keep talking. You didn't listen to me last night. You don't care whether I live or die."
He felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke: "You don't like me at all, you just want my body. I said I was dying and you ignored me. I said I didn't want it anymore and you ignored me. I asked you to stop and you ignored me. Why do you keep ignoring me..."
Qin Xu wiped his tears and hugged the aggrieved little tearful boy into his arms: "How could I not like you? How could I not care whether you live or die? Besides, I didn't ignore you all the time. I kissed you when you asked me to kiss you, and I listened to you when you asked me to go faster or slower. You said you wanted to go see the snow, so we went to see the snow."
Jiang Ning: That's called watching the snow! That's called being obedient!
He was so angry that he hit Qin Xu twice: "You are going to piss me off to death! Ahem..."
Qin Xu: It seems that my explanation is wrong, so I’d better shut up.
"Don't get excited, I was wrong. What do you think I should do to make you not angry?"
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Then let's not really do that anymore."
He really can't do it, he will really die.
Qin Xu refused without a second thought: "No, change it, change it to a reasonable one."
Jiang Ning: He understood. Qin Xu was really determined to piss him off to death.
Jiang Ning didn't want to talk to him right now, but he was upset. When he was upset, he felt wronged. When he felt wronged, he wanted to cry and get angry. When he was angry, he had to get angry with Qin Xu and mutter, "I want to bite you!"
If he wasn't a little zombie, he would have bitten Qin Xu hard to vent his anger.
But now he can't even do that.
Qin Xu was in a dilemma for a moment. My goodness, is this actually more worthy of his consideration than the previous thing?
"Let's change to another one. This one really won't work." Fortunately, Qin Xu was still rational. He wiped Jiang Ning's tears again and rocked him like coaxing a child.
Jiang Ning's heavily nasal voice sounded pitiful: "A man can't say he's not good enough."
Qin Xu was amused by him, and an idea suddenly struck him. He knew how to make the little zombie happy: "I really can't do it. I was tired last night. I'm old and can't do it anymore. In fact, I just held on to avoid embarrassment."
As soon as he said that, the little zombie looked at him as if it was enjoying a good show.
He knew that the little zombie was full of evil intentions.
Jiang Ning felt a little happier: "Really?"
Qin Xu nodded and whispered in his ear, "I'll tell you in secret, I'm actually not much better than you right now. My back aches and I've lost weight."
Jiang Ning chuckled secretly, and then couldn't help laughing out loud, and her heart suddenly felt a lot better.
Humph, it seems that he is not that weak.
He looked at Qin Xu with a raised eyebrow and said, "Hey, look at you. What can I say to you? You are already an adult. Don't force yourself next time. I won't laugh at you, nor will I despise you."
Qin Xu grabbed his hand and kissed it: "Okay, I understand. Let's continue eating, okay?"
Jiang Ning hummed, "Have you eaten yet? I suggest you eat some leeks, oysters, and some whip or something to replenish your body."
Qin Xu fed him porridge: "Okay, I remember."
Finally, I coaxed the little zombie into forgetting the grievances of last night. Not only did he eat his meal obediently, but I also showed concern for him and invited him to lie down with me and have a good rest.
"Hey, lie down quickly. You have old arms and legs. If you toss around and end up in a wheelchair at the age of 60, I'll square dance with other old men in front of you."
Jiang Ning pulled Qin Xu, who was busy soaking his feet, over and forced him to have a good rest.
Thinking that Qin Xu was no longer able to do it, if it was just a normal one, he could actually accept it, and it was indeed quite...
His face flushed as he pinched Qin Xu: "Don't get too tired, you'll need it in the future."
Qin Xu tucked his hair behind his ears and said, "It's okay. It works."
Jiang Ning nestled into his arms: "I think it's okay too. If it really doesn't work, there are still the two brothers from Old Zhao's family. Ask them to get you some medicine."
He became anxious as he spoke, fearing that Qin Xu would miss the best time for treatment. He pushed him and said, "Tell them now."
Qin Xu: ...
Damn! I shot myself in the foot.
