"Well, since you say that..." Qi Yan sighed: "I can only keep my distance from you for the time being."

These words, like a bomb, exploded in Kang Ye's heart, causing his heart, which had long stopped beating, to be clenched and crushed.

Kang Ye was hesitant and uneasy. He wanted to say something to Qi Yan, but was choked by those words and didn't know where to start.

Both of them were very stubborn. Qi Yan was stubborn openly, while Kang Ye was stubborn secretly. While being stubborn, he was also annoyed and anxious.

After packing up a few bags of more useful things and clearing out the zombies, Qi Yan contacted Yang Gua to ask someone to pick up the things.

The world of two people was soon gone. Kang Ye looked at Qi Yan, who was leaving with the troops, with an extremely resentful look in his heart, feeling extremely aggrieved.

What exactly is the reason for the cold war?

Kang Ye lowered his eyes, maybe he was worrying too much, he always felt that Qi Yan some time ago was not like the Qi Yan who struggled with him and survived in difficult situations.

But...

Kang Ye lowered his eyes, and the Qi Yan who just talked to him felt like he had returned to that familiar feeling... Kang Ye didn't understand why, maybe he was really wrong.

Back at the base, facing the inquiring eyes of Yang Gua and others, Kang Ye silently avoided everyone and returned to the apartment.

It turned out that he and Qi Yan lived in the same apartment, and five days ago, Qi Yan moved to an empty apartment upstairs.

I really want him to come back...

Unconsciously, Kang Ye walked up the stairs and stood at the door of Qi Yan's apartment. He looked left and right. He was the only one there, and he looked very lonely and desolate.

A corridor was silent. Kang Ye lowered his head and squatted silently in front of the door of the apartment.

When will he come back... I really want to see him. I haven't seen him for five days.

Qi Yan these days is like a machine without oil. He is not agile and lacks thinking. He is often in a daze and speechless, and can't hear others clearly. Kang Ye thinks Qi Yan has something on his mind, so he asks, but the result is a rejection.

Kang Ye thinks Qi Yan doesn't trust him. But Qi Yan didn't do anything strange in other things.

After all, Kang Ye himself is also contradictory.

When Qi Yan returned home, he saw Kang Ye squatting at the door of the apartment, like a puppy abandoned by its owner, especially pitiful. Qi Yan couldn't bear it, so he hurried over, bent down, held his wrist, and prepared to pull him up.

The moment the cool touch came from his skin, Qi Yan was suddenly pulled and embraced.

"Don't leave me..." Kang Ye's almost pleading voice slowly rang in his ears: "I only have you..."

Qi Yan was silent for a while, and finally raised his hands and hugged his back: "Don't say that, you have many friends."

"But they are not you." Kang Ye's voice was extremely clear: "I only want you."

"Kang--"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't doubt you and question you. It's my fault, please forgive me. You are still my Qi Yan, right?"

"..." Qi Yan seemed to understand what the reason for Kang Ye and himself's cold war was.

"Who said I'm not yours anymore?" Qi Yan asked softly, "I'm sorry, because I did hide some things."

"...I don't want to know." Kang Ye said in a muffled voice, "Don't tell me, just know it yourself."

"Well, I won't tell you. I only promise you that Qi Yan will always be Kang Ye's."

Qi Yan smiled and pushed Kang Ye away, and kissed the corner of his mouth gently under his watery eyes.

——Qi Yan will always be Kang Ye's, this sentence is enough.

This world is terrible. Qi Yan doesn't know why he chose to return to this world, because this time without the existence of the system, he can be considered to be truly reborn... He can die in the mouth of that monster at any time and anywhere.

Kang Ye, he can't let go.

The two reconciled and moved in together again, which made Jiang Dacheng and Xiaotian shake their heads and smack their lips when they saw it.

"Really? I said they must be making trouble here."

"I bet they would be well in half a month, but now I realize it's only five days."

"Five days is enough to make them well! It's rare that Kang Ye, a loyal dog, has a temper..."

"You two should stop gossiping behind others' backs. Back then, the apocalypse hadn't happened yet, and I had a fiancée..."

"Shut up!"

"Long Sheng, you're done!"

"I say, are you three free? Has the area been developed? Is Haikou safe? Do we have enough food?!"

...

The life of the survivors seems to have returned to the beginning, when the RV was home and they lived wherever they went.

I really miss that time, even though we were displaced and running around.

Gradually, with the survivor base, the family is growing stronger. The survivors in the future will definitely be ten, a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times more than the five people...

Under the leadership of Yang Dui, this coastal city survived in the apocalypse. Fortunately, those zombies are just ordinary zombies. They don't listen to anyone's orders, and they don't have the idea or goal to attack a place. Qi Yan and Kang Ye still hold their previous positions, and their efficiency is also improving.

No matter what time it is, the survivor team will take a day or a few hours to hold a meeting.

Oh no, it's better to say it's a break than a meeting. With so many things to do

every day, why not steal a half day of leisure?

"Alas, Brother Tianyan's efficiency has improved again in the past few days!" Xiaotian exclaimed: "Much better than before!"

"How do you say it, love feeds people~!" Jiang Dacheng winked at Qi Yan and Kang Ye, but got a roll of the eyes from Qi Yan and ignored by Kang Ye.

Yang Ze touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "So, this is Qi Yan's real strength?"

Qi Yan thought about it and did not deny: "Yes, but I can't guarantee that I will still have this strength when I get old."

"Hahaha, think about your life in old age when you are old, it's still too early now!"

"Oh, I've thought about it. When I'm old, I'll retire and buy a small detached house by the sea, drink some wine and eat some meat all day, go fishing and go out to sea, oh, that little life is beautiful to think about."

"You still want to retire in such a world?! Dream on!"

"Why can't I retire? What if the world is peaceful when I'm old and in my seventies!"

"You're just dreaming!"

"Xiaotian, you little bastard, are you itching again?"

...

Yang Gue smiled as he watched Xiaotian and Jiang Dacheng bickering, poured himself a cup of tea, and sipped it.

"Welcome back."

Suddenly, his faint voice reached Qi Yan's ears. Qi Yan turned his head and looked at Yang Gue in surprise, and found that he was smiling lightly, with warmth in his eyes.

After a long time, Qi Yan also smiled.

He would not ask Yang Gue how he knew, because there was no need.

Everyone was waiting for him, and he also seized this opportunity.

"What are you talking about with the captain..."

An extremely sad voice suddenly rang out, and Qi Yan met Kang Ye's aggrieved eyes and almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

"Nothing..."

"Captain, see you smile."

"..."

"I'm not happy, Qi Yan."

"...then?"

"Comfort me."

"How?"

"...Can I touch your face? I like that temperature."

Qi Yan: "..."

I almost forgot that Kang Ye likes his own temperature the most.

[Can I touch you for the rest of my life?]

[Of course, I'm yours.]
