Not only was Xia Ju unwilling, Du Yue was also unwilling. Before Du Yue could answer, He Xing spoke first, “I’ve already asked around today. The new residential area will be completed soon. The houses there can be rented or bought. We can go and take a look tomorrow if we have nothing to do.”
Du Yue looked at He Xing in confusion. “Weren’t we together today? When did you ask?”
He Xing smiled and patted her head. “I asked when you guys went to the car to get the grains.”
When He Xing said this, Du Yue remembered. When she and Xia Ju came back with food, they saw He Xing standing together with two men talking. The two men were still holding cigarettes in their hands.
Men only needed a cigarette to get close to men. This was the case before the apocalypse, and it was even more so after the apocalypse. He Xing did not smoke, but he usually carried cigarettes with him when he went out. It was easier to get some information when he went out to do business. Du Yue nodded in admiration. “You’re too smart!”
He Xing was a man, but he could consider all the details. With such a partner by her side, Du Yue felt a lot more relaxed.
He Xing was grinning from ear to ear. “Hehe, I’ll continue to work hard.”
Du Yue gave him a thumbs up. “You’re the best man in Interstellar!”
While Du Yue was chatting with He Xing, Xia Ju was blinking her big eyes at the side, her face full of infatuation. As for the public display of affection between the two of them? Xia Ju thought that she was watching a live broadcast!
Anyway, life in the post-apocalyptic world was so boring. It was quite interesting to see others showing off their affection!
After the meal, Du Yue put the plates and chopsticks into the corner of the s.p.a.ce. It was not convenient now, so she could wash them when the conditions allowed it. Xia Ju stood up and waved at them. “I’ll go back and lie down first. I’ll come back tonight.”
Watching Xia Ju leave, Du Yue’s eyes were full of smiles. Although Xia Ju was not usually reliable, she was really observant at critical moments! He Xing stood up and locked the door from the inside. Du Yue then took out a mattress from the s.p.a.ce and laid it on the bed frame.
When they were outside, they could make do with their meals, but they could not make do with their sleep. Du Yue took off her coat and lay on the mattress. Before she could close her eyes, He Xing leaned over and reached out to pull her into his arms. He even used his hand to gently caress her lower abdomen. “It’s to help you digest your food.”
It was easy to feel sleepy after eating. In addition to He Xing’s gentle rubbing of her stomach, Du Yue felt even more unable to open her eyes. Her eyelids were twitching. Just as she was about to fall asleep, Du Yue muttered, “If I sleep after eating… I’ll feel like I’m going to be slaughtered…” Before she could finish, she fell asleep.
He Xing looked at her and added softly, “You look like a pig that’s about to be slaughtered.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Yue, who was already asleep, suddenly raised her hand and hammered his chest. “You’re the pig… Hurry up and sleep…”
Her voice was getting softer and softer. He Xing pulled Du Yue into his arms and kissed her gently on the cheek. “Little pig, go to sleep.”
Du Yue was woken up by the heat. In her half-awake state, she felt as if she was in a steamer, and her forehead was covered in sweat. When she opened her eyes, she realized that the culprit was He Xing, who was behind her. He Xing was hugging her tightly. Du Yue turned around to face He Xing, who was sleeping soundly.
She stretched out her hand and used her slender fingers to gently outline He Xing’s eyebrows. Her fingertips slowly slid down and finally landed on the tip of his nose. She pinched the tip of his nose. “Are you pretending to be asleep?”
He Xing’s eyes were still tightly shut, but his arms around Du Yue tightened. “I’ve been discovered. I’ll reward you with a loving hug.”
Du Yue pinched He Xing’s nose and tightened her grip. “I don’t want it. Isn’t there a better reward?”
He Xing opened his eyes. His dark eyes were filled with clarity. “Of course. I can even reward you with a loving kiss.”
Du Yue reached out and covered his lips that were gradually approaching her. “Thank you, but there’s no need.”
He Xing pushed her hand away and continued kissing her. “No, it’s necessary.”
Du Yue chuckled. She removed his hand from her body and sat up. “What time is it now?”
Without waiting for He Xing’s reply, Du Yue raised her wrist and looked at the time on her watch. “It’s only two o’clock. We didn’t sleep much!”
Du Yue had a good sleep when she woke up. She thought she had slept for a few hours, but it was only an hour..
