Song Chi poked his head out from under the quilt with red eyes, and saw Xiao Qi floating over him with tears in her eyes.
He immediately wiped his tears and sat up, "I just had a nightmare."
Xiaoqi knew it wasn’t.
His host kept calling for dad, mom, grandpa and grandma and cried the whole night.
"Really, I had a nightmare."
Song Chi held Xiao Qi in his arms, stroked Xiao Qi's furry head and smiled.
"That nightmare villain, Xiao Qi will help the host fight it."
Xiao Qi pretended to believe what Song Chi said, wiped her tears and said angrily.
Song Chi breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't want Xiaoqi to know that he was crying because he missed home. If Xiaoqi knew, she would definitely blame herself for being useless.
He also didn't want Lu Yanchen to know, for fear that Lu Yanchen would worry.
"Where's my big, handsome, rich, villain husband? Where did he go?"
Song Chi held Xiao Qi's head and stroked it, changing the subject and looking for Lu Yanchen in the room.
Xiao Qi quickly wiped away her tears and replied, "The base commander of City S is here and is in the lobby on the first floor. My husband is helping you negotiate with the base commander of City S about renting props."
"What? The base commander from City S is here? Why didn't you wake me up?"
Song Chi was about to get out of bed, but was stopped by Xiao Qi, "Host Song Chen is here, host, don't worry."
"Oh, Fourth Brother is here too! Then let Fourth Brother and Lu Yanchen talk to the base commander in City S! I'll go wash up first."
Song Chi hummed a song as he got out of bed and walked happily towards the bathroom.
Xiao Qi quickly wiped away her tears and flew into the bathroom, "Host, Xiao Qi will help you squeeze the toothpaste."
"Okay, thank you Xiaoqi, our Xiaoqi is awesome."
Song Chi stroked Xiao Qi's head with a smile again.
Xiao Qi immediately smiled and handed the toothbrush with toothpaste squeezed on it to Song Chi, "Host, here."
"Oh! Thank you, Xiaoqi."
"Host, you're welcome."
Xiao Qi wagged his tail happily, and it seemed that his host was really in a better mood.
[Ding! Gratitude value increases by one thousand one thousand, one thousand, one thousand one thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand thousand...]
"Oh my god, why are there suddenly so many gratitude points?"
Song Chi, who was brushing his teeth, looked shocked.
"Oh my god! Is this a hot spring villa?"
There was a sudden noise downstairs.
Hearing the sound, Song Chi quickly washed up, ran out of the bathroom and ran to the window.
When he saw this, his eyes suddenly widened.
Outside the big iron gate of the hot spring villa, there was a huge crowd of people, blocking the way completely.
They all carried bulging backpacks and bags, and looked around in amazement.
Looking up along the city’s iron guardrails, it was also full of people, a sea of black that stretched as far as the eye could see.
They seemed to have walked all the way down from the top and were now queuing up to pass through the iron guardrail gate.
Song Chi had never seen so many people before, at least more than 100,000.
Xiao Qi flew to Song Chi's side, looked at the endless sea of people downstairs, and said to Song Chi, "Host, they are the survivors of the base halfway up the mountain in S City. There are four to five million of them."
"I heard that the halfway points of their mountains have been hollowed out, and most of the survivors live underground. It's so pitiful."
Song Chi, who was listening, didn't say anything. He quickly pricked up his ears because he heard the survivors downstairs, who were leaning against the villa's iron gate, saying, "I heard that someone named Song Chi took over this S City."
"Yes, yes, that's what I heard too."
"As for things like supermarket public toilets, they're all owned by that guy named Song Chi. Our base commander is currently on the first floor of this hot spring villa, negotiating with them about renting those things."
"I heard about it too, so I came to take a look."
…
Song Chi, who was listening, had a red nose and bit his lips, and tears immediately filled his eyes.
It is impossible for people in S City to know him, let alone know his name, and it spread so quickly.
There is only one possibility. Lu Yanchen and others had informed Huo Nian in advance and asked the base commander of City S to publicize this among the survivors in order to earn gratitude points for him.
“Wuwuwu…”
Song Chi lowered his head, wiped his tears, and burst into tears.
"Host, please don't cry. Please don't cry."
Then Xiao Qi, with red eyes, hurriedly patted Song Chi on the back.
"I...I'm not crying, I'm just happy."
Song Chi lowered his head and wiped his tears with his hands, his voice choked with sobs.
"Cry! It will be better if you cry."
Lu Yanchen came to the window and hugged Song Chi in his arms.
Seeing Lu Yanchen, Song Chi's tears burst out instantly, and he raised his head and cried loudly, "Ahhhhhhh Lu Yanchen, I want to go home, I want to go home..."
He was like a fragile child, crying out the anxiety and fear he felt after suddenly traveling through time, as well as the longing and fear of not being able to see his loved ones.
