The next morning.
Bai Qingqing got up early in the morning to look for Cheng Rui. Professor Li and his wife were used to getting up early. The professor's wife was making breakfast in the kitchen, and Bai Tiantian was helping. Professor Li was sitting by the window with a book in his hand, reading while wearing reading glasses.
She came down from the stairs and greeted everyone in a good mood.
Last night the system reported to her that Cheng Rui had already developed some initial feelings for her. This was a good sign, and she would work harder to win him over.
Fu Chen and Xiao Yang were still resting after the night watch and had not gotten up yet. Cheng Rui, Shen Mingxuan and Liang Zhiyu were all outside the car, seemingly chatting together, but no one knew what they were talking about.
"Little girl, come and have breakfast." Mrs. Li came out with porridge.
Bai Qingqing waved her hands and said, "You eat first, I'll come back later."
After saying that, she hurriedly opened the car door and walked towards a few people not far away.
"What are you talking about?" Bai Qingqing smiled and urged, "Breakfast is ready, go eat it."
The smile on Shen Mingxuan's face faded, he glanced at her, turned and walked towards the car.
"You got up so early today?" Liang Zhiyu looked at her and said, "I thought you would get some extra sleep."
It's only around seven in the morning. In the past, she would sleep until around eight. There was nothing to do in the car, so she basically just rested and slept while rushing on the road.
Bai Qingqing's face turned slightly red. She usually liked to stay in bed. Occasionally, Fu Chen would urge her to get up, but she would act coquettishly and fool him. She would not even eat breakfast and continue to sleep.
She lowered her eyelashes, looking shy and embarrassed, "Yesterday Cheng Rui promised to teach me how to shoot, so I got up early."
Upon hearing this, Liang Zhiyu looked at Cheng Rui. He was somewhat surprised that the taciturn Cheng Rui would agree to teach Bai Qingqing how to practice shooting.
He was not like this to Bai Qingqing before. His attitude was cold and indifferent. It seems that their relationship has improved a lot in the past few days. Even Cheng Rui, a wooden stake, cannot escape the beauty's temptation.
Facing Liang Zhiyu's interested gaze, Cheng Rui calmly blocked some of Bai Qingqing's gaze and said, "Aren't you going to have breakfast?"
"I'll go right away." Liang Zhiyu patted his shoulder and said jokingly, "I won't disturb you."
Liang Zhiyu wondered in his heart whether his blood pressure would rise if Fu Chen woke up and saw his beloved sister and Cheng Rui having a passionate affair.
As a spectator, he was quite happy to watch the show.
Liang Zhiyu returned to the car. Bai Qingqing took out a small piece of bread and milk from the work desk and handed them to Cheng Rui, saying softly, "I see you don't seem to like porridge very much. Have this instead."
Seeing her secretly feeding him food, Cheng Rui was moved and asked, "Do you want to go to the car to have breakfast first?"
Bai Qingqing took out strawberry milk from the space again, blinked, and said, "I drink milk too."
She looked at the modified car and said, "Let's hide. If Liang Zhiyu sees us, he will probably scold me."
Cheng Rui knew that Liang Zhiyu would not teach her a lesson and would at most say a few words to her, but she still followed her wishes and the two of them walked a few dozen meters away.
The two of them secretly ate a separate breakfast without telling anyone else. It felt very strange, as if they were partners in doing something bad, and they felt a little excited and nervous.
The two of them stood side by side on the ridge of the field with their backs to the modified car and ate breakfast. The sunlight bathed them in a layer of faint light.
Bai Qingqing bit the straw and tilted her head to look at him: "Cheng Rui, I heard from my brother that your family is in Yaoyang Base."
"Yeah." Cheng Rui replied indifferently.
Bai Qingqing looked a little reluctant, and said sadly: "Then you will be separated from everyone when you arrive at Yaoyang Base."
Cheng Rui's eyes darkened slightly, thinking of her dependence on Fu Chen, and said in a deep voice: "Not sure yet."
Hmm? Not sure what that means? Does he not plan to stay in Yaoyang?
In the original story, he stayed in Yaoyang to help his stepbrother and became the leader of the Yaoyang base. Did the plot change because of her?
Bai Qingqing gulped down the milk, licked the milk stains on her lips, and said sweetly, "Cheng Rui, I'm done. Come and teach me how to shoot."
Cheng Rui stared at her for a few seconds. The girl was young, very pretty and charming. His name came out of her little mouth, and her voice was soft and pleasant.
No matter what her intentions are, once she flirts with him, she can't expect to get away with it.
Just like last night, Bai Qingqing took out various firearms from the space and placed them on the table. She then took out a training template and hung it on a distant tree, then hurried back.
"Can we start now?"
Cheng Rui picked up the gun and handed it to her, saying, "Stand still."
Bai Qingqing stood there, holding the gun in her hand and pointing it forward. "Is this right?"
Cheng Rui frowned slightly, seeing that her posture and movements were not right, he walked over to her and said, "Your posture is a little wrong."
Bai Qingqing tilted her head to look at him, "Teach me."
Cheng Rui squatted down beside her, held her feet with his big hands, looked up at her against the light, and said, "Stand like this."
Bai Qingqing looked down at him.
The man's big hand just grasped her ankle, and the burning temperature seemed to be able to pass through the thin fabric to her body, making her feel a little numb.
He looked serious and solemn, like a strict instructor, abstinent and strict.
Bai Qingqing's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at him coquettishly.
"Do you understand?" Cheng Rui asked in a low voice.
Bai Qingqing curled her lips and smiled: "I know, what about the gesture, is this correct?"
Cheng Rui held her hands from behind. His tall figure completely enveloped her in his arms. He held her fair and tender hands with his big hands and said in her ear with his head tilted: "Stretch out your hands and keep your eyes on the target..."
He held her hand and pulled the trigger. The silenced gun hit the target, and several bullets in succession hit the same center point.
Bai Qingqing felt a burning sensation in her heart. She was lucky to have shot the zombies in the head several times. Only someone like Cheng Rui who could never miss a target was a real sharpshooter.
Cheng Rui's tall body embraced her, and his cold and mature aura surrounded her, as if he had marked her as his territory. The strong feeling made people's hearts tremble slightly.
She moved her hands and said, "I'll do it myself."
Cheng Rui left her side and looked at her with burning eyes, "Try it, aim and shoot."
"Okay." Bai Qingqing concentrated her attention, held the gun tightly, stared at the target in front of her, slowed her breathing, and pulled the trigger in an instant.
With a bang, it unfortunately missed the center of the circle and went two circles away.
Bai Qingqing was a little disappointed: "I didn't hit it."
"It's okay, just continue." Cheng Rui.
Bai Qingqing held the gun and kept shooting. Each time, she missed the center of the circle by a little. She looked a little frustrated and looked at him with a little complaint, "Is it all your fault?"
Cheng Rui was a little panicked, "What's wrong with me?"
"It's your fault that you can always hit the center of the circle." Bai Qingqing lowered her head, "But I didn't hit any of them. I have lost confidence."
Cheng Rui grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms again, saying in a low voice: "Practice a few more times, and you will definitely be able to hit it."
Bai Qingqing leaned in his arms with a clear conscience and said, "If you don't hit me again, you can be my target."
This was pure nonsense, but Cheng Rui actually responded, "Okay."
Bai Qingqing's eyes moved slightly, and she looked up at him, "Are you stupid? You promised this. If I miss, you will be my target. What if I hurt you?"
"You won't, I believe you." Cheng Rui's cold voice carried a hint of tenderness.
Bai Qingqing curled her lips and smiled. Once a cold and stern man was convinced, he could flirt with people just as well as a playboy who had been in the entertainment industry for a long time, and even more beautifully.
Cheng Rui held her white, soft hand, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Look ahead."
His warm breath sprayed on her white neck, bringing a tingling sensation, making her move involuntarily.
Cheng Rui held her hand tightly and said, "Focus."
Under his careful instruction, Bai Qingqing finally hit the center of the target with two or three out of ten shots, and her delicate little face showed a relaxed expression.
"Cheng Rui, I hit it."
Cheng Rui looked at her happy expression and curled his lips, "Very impressive."
After practicing for about half an hour, the two returned to the car. Professor Li's wife looked at them and said with a smile, "Young man, there is porridge in the kitchen. You and your girlfriend haven't had breakfast yet, so go and have some."
Everyone in the car looked at the two of them with different expressions.
Bai Qingqing blushed and quickly denied, "No, Auntie, you misunderstood."
Cheng Rui remained silent.
The professor's wife didn't realize she had misunderstood, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I thought you were boyfriend and girlfriend."
"Auntie, we are teammates." Bai Qingqing quickly walked to Fu Chen and called him brother.
Fu Chen glanced at Cheng Rui, then looked at her: "Where did you go?"
"Brother, Cheng Rui is teaching me how to shoot. He is so good." Bai Qingqing praised Cheng Rui again and said with a smile, "I can hit the bull's eye now."
Fu Chen didn't expect that she would go to Cheng Rui to practice shooting. His face was cold and indifferent. His shooting skills were no worse than Cheng Rui's, but his sister went to Cheng Rui to learn shooting and didn't take him, her brother, seriously at all.
Fu Chen was very unhappy. He held Bai Qingqing's hand and said calmly, "You've been practicing for so long, aren't you tired?"
After saying this, Bai Qingqing felt her arms ache and showed a pitiful expression: "I'm so tired, brother, rub it for me."
Fu Chen pulled her to sit on the sofa and rubbed her slender arms, which seemed particularly doting in the eyes of others.
Cheng Rui frowned and went to the front to drive the car without saying a word.
Shen Mingxuan opened the curtain and sat in the co-pilot seat, saying, "Cheng Rui, it seems that if you want to get Bai Qingqing, you still have to get past the captain."
Fu Chen's attitude towards Bai Qingqing is like doting on his younger sister, but also like doting on his little lover.
Will he agree to Cheng Rui and Bai Qingqing being together?
