——
Pei Xiqing was half asleep, her body aching, but the pain soon subsided, as if someone had injected her with medicine.
She opened her eyes with some difficulty and saw Ji Yao standing beside her with a syringe.
Seeing her wake up, he smiled slightly, "Wake up, you've been sleeping for three days."
"So long..."
"Yeah, but that's normal. You've suffered a serious loss of Qi and blood, and your constitution is weak. It would be better for you to sleep for two or three days after giving birth." Ji Yao said, "This injection is to speed up your recovery. It's only been three days, and you're already feeling much better."
"Thanks."
Ji Yao smiled slightly.
Sitting on a chair, she casually played with her long hair and then spoke: "The last time I saw you, you were still young and innocent. I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a while, I would actually be here to deliver your baby. I can be said to have experienced the pain and difficulty of childbirth for a woman."
"Sister Ji Yao doesn't have a boyfriend yet?"
Ji Yao shook her head. "I don't need these things in this apocalyptic world. As long as I have my teammates from Franlon, that's enough. I don't dare to ask for anything else. As long as my teammates are alive and well, and we can bicker and fight when we have nothing to do, that's better than anything else. Men only slow down my shooting speed."
Perhaps due to the injection of recovery potion into the original body, Pei Xiqing's lower body didn't hurt much anymore, but her waist was still accompanied by waves of soreness.
She sat up with a pillow behind her back and chuckled, her hair a little messy, "So that's how it is."
Ji Yao poured her a glass of water. "I'm not as stupid as Long Yan. I wouldn't wait so long for a hopeless man. Youth only lasts a few years. It's not worth it for a man. I'd rather be alone. If I waste my time, it's wasted. If I waste it on a man, it would be a big loss."
Pei Xiqing thought of something and asked, "Is the person Sister Long Yan is waiting for very good at weapon manufacturing?"
Ji Yao: "How do you know? Did Qiu Chao tell you?"
"I guess."
"You're very smart then." She said, "Indeed, it's similar to what you said. I just don't know if it's him alone. However, there aren't many people in the apocalypse who are good at making weapons, so it should be easy to find him."
"I think I've seen him before. I was in the wild and asked him to make two sabers and a dagger for me."
"You two are quite destined to meet each other even in the wild."
Ma Mengxiang pushed open the door and ran in excitedly, holding up the thermos in her hand. "Xiqing! You're finally awake! The loving recovery meal I made yesterday can finally come in handy!"
Ji Yao stood up and said, "This girl is also a good cook. We have been eating her cooking these past few days. She is going to spoil my taste buds. I don't know if I can still eat Qiu Chao's cooking when I return to the base."
Ma Mengxiang: "Sister Ji Yao, you're exaggerating! My cooking is just average, chopping wood is my real specialty!"
Ji Yao smiled and straightened her clothes: "Xian, then you guys eat, I'm leaving first."
Pei Xiqing quickly called her: "Are you leaving the base?"
"Yes, that's right." She said, "I have something else to do. Seeing you wake up safely, my mission is complete."
She shrugged and said, "After all, I'm the well-known and intimate big sister of Franlon."
Ma Mengxiang: "You are the president of the Women's Committee Association, right?"
Ji Yao: "Hahahaha, you are still sharp."
Pei Xiqing pursed her lips and chuckled.
Ma Mengxiang: "We have this position in our village."
"See you next time." Ji Yao waved.
Pei Xiqing looked at her: "Be careful."
"knew."
After Ji Yao left, Ma Mengxiang immediately brought out the nutritious meal she had carefully prepared.
Pei Xiqing praised while eating.
Ma Mengxiang looked at her and said silently, "I've been so heartbroken about you these past few days, especially when you gave birth. I saw Brother Duan outside and he was completely tense. I guess he must have been heartbroken too. Giving birth is really not an easy thing."
"Yes, you have to think carefully about your future path and all the choices you may face."
"Uh-huh."
Pei Xiqing hadn't taken a few bites when the door was opened again.
Duan Xiaolin strode in, sat on the edge of the bed, and touched her face. "How do you feel?"
Pei Xiqing drank the soup and said, "It's delicious. I even have a better appetite."
His eyes were anxious, and he didn't move away from her for a moment. "Sorry, I just went to take care of something."
"It's okay, it's okay. Thank you for your hard work these past few days."
Ma Mengxiang stood up and left silently.
Pei Xiqing held up a spoon and brought a mouthful of soup to the man's mouth: "Come, try it."
Duan Xiaolin opened his mouth in cooperation, "It tastes good."
"Yeah, it seems like Meng Xiang's cooking skills have improved again."
The man waited patiently for her to finish her drink slowly.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and pulled her into his arms.
Pei Xiqing still held the spoon in one hand.
It took me a while to react.
He feels insecure.
Pei Xiqing clenched the spoon and hugged him tightly.
He whispered in his ear: "Okay, it's all over."
But the man refused to let go for a long time.
If her body had not fully recovered yet, she would have thought that the man could have rubbed her right into his flesh and blood.
"Brother Duan, please be happy. Our child was born safely and healthily. This world may not be so safe and beautiful, but his arrival also represents new hope."
Duan Xiaolin hugged her tightly: "Yes."
Pei Xiqing couldn't help but sigh.
She smiled helplessly.
I didn't expect Brother Duan to have such an uneasy side.
His emotions were actually delicate and gentle, and his broad chest was enough to support the high wall of her body. His strong arms tightly wrapped around her, giving her a sense of security.
"Stupid Brother Duan." She couldn't help but turn her head and kiss the man's ear. "Go and bring the child over so I can see him. I haven't even held him yet, but you've been holding him for a long time."
"He has Long Yan to take care of him, don't worry."
Pei Xiqing's eyes widened slightly: "You just threw him out like that?"
"Why not?" The man chuckled. "There's no rush. Let's take care of you first."
Pei Xiqing put her hand on his chest and said, "You are so cruel."
Duan Xiaolin hugged her soft body again.
I put my palm on the back of her neck and felt everything about her being held in my arms, and only then did I feel satisfied.
He couldn't bear to be cruel to the child, but he couldn't let her go as long as the child was between her and him.
