These ten minutes seemed particularly long to her. The man's slow breathing kept repeating in her ears, and their heartbeats were transmitted to each other again and again.
The surroundings were so quiet that one could hear one's breathing. There was not even the sound of any small animals breathing at night. The moonlight outside the window fell on them. Gradually, Pei Xiqing also calmed down, closed his eyes and waited for time to slowly pass.
After an unknown amount of time, she actually fell asleep in the man's arms.
Duan Xiaolin noticed it and gently touched her slightly cold face.
He carried the already sleeping person into the bedroom.
When he tucked her into bed, he saw the green spots on her arms where she had just touched Xiao Yi, and his eyes darkened slightly.
The 'culprit' - Xiao Yi, was squatting at the door with an innocent and guilty look on his face.
The man stood up and closed the door, ignoring its gaze and locking it outside.
It was a long time since dawn, and the sun was shining on his face. Pei Xiqing finally realized what was happening and opened his eyes.
The sunlight was a bit dazzling, so she raised her hand to block it, turned over in the warm quilt, and checked the time again.
It's ten o'clock.
She yawned and sat up reluctantly. When she opened the door, she saw Xiao Yi squatting at the door with a wronged look on her face.
Pei Xiqing scratched his arm and said, "Let's go and make you some delicious food."
When she was washing up, she found green spots on her arms. They were so itchy that she endured it for a long time before she stopped scratching.
But it still itches.
Several times she wanted to just scratch the skin.
But after a short period of pleasure, the skin on her arm might be permanently rotten.
In the morning, she used the leftover ingredients from yesterday to cook a meal for Xiaoyu and ate one herself. She spent the day simply.
It was just that she received a call from Duan Xiaolin while she was having breakfast.
"Come to the base center in the evening."
She had said she wanted to do it before, but I didn't expect it to be arranged so soon.
"Okay, what time do you want me to arrive?"
"Whatever you want, I'll always be here."
"Uh-huh."
The other side said: "By the way, I'm going to take your blood and check your body. You have zombie scars on your body, and you need to find a way to suppress them."
On the other side, Duan Xiaolin was continuing to process the files on hand. Just as he finished one pile, someone handed him a thick stack of photos and forms.
"Your Honor, these are the latest developments and evidence in the case. Please review them."
"Um."
When Ling Lang pushed open the door, he saw his brother still busy at work. He casually took a portion, crossed his legs and sat on the chair, swaggering: "Humph, these people are all fake. One or two of them are trying to fool me. The so-called 'evidence' is also fake at first glance."
He threw away the copy in his hand and said, "There's no need to read this kind of thing."
"Brother, your workload is really increasing. Aren't these from yesterday? We haven't even finished processing yesterday's supplies, and yet you've sent so many more today. Do you really think you're a robot?"
"We were expecting to finish the process yesterday, but something went wrong."
The responsibility lies with him.
He was the first to lose focus, unable to concentrate. Last night he just needed a short break, but he kept putting it off, unable to calm down.
"What episode?"
"You probably don't want to know."
Ling Lang was puzzled: "Huh? I don't want to know? Why do you say that?"
My brother and I have experienced so many life and death situations. Is there anything about him that I don't want to know?
Duan Xiaolin adjusted his glasses, his gaze calm: "It's related to Pei Xiqing."
…
Ling Lang retracted his crossed legs.
There was a pause, "...Oh."
"With her. I haven't seen her for several days. She... never mind. It's important now."
Ling Lang twirled the gun in his hand, his tone tinged with indifference, his body tense and straight. After a long silence, he raised his head again, his gaze piercing: "Brother, are you serious?"
