ight after I open my eyes, I see a slender hand heading toward my face, I instantly catch it and besiege the person under me, the aforementioned act was an instinct that was implanted inside me the 20 years living in the apocalypse; wherever I feel danger my body self react by itself.
"Who are you?!" I ask him, but the boy didn't answer seemingly stunned so I ask him again
" %μ£^¨$" the boy answers
" a foreigner?"
now that I look at it, the boy below me has an enchanting face almost unreal, long white hair, blue ocean eyes with thick long eyelashes, and a white fair porcelain skin I don't know how he kept it in such an environment, however, I can see that he doesn't hold a malicious intent and he didn't intend to harm me. I stand up look around to find that this place looks familiar to me ... wait isn't this place where I got betrayed by my ex-friends 15 years ago? a flash of memories suddenly hits him and he instantly understood that he went back to the past. but I don't remember meeting such a boy in my last life, was he the one who saved me from drowning at that time?
" Why are you naked?" the boy was entirely naked and he didn't even seem to realize that, after hearing him, he looks down then shows a horrified expression on his face, he then turns bright red with shame, he stands up in a hurry then falls down right after he stood up, I held him before he hits the ground I then couldn't help myself but sink at these blue eyes that made my eyes sink into a deep ocean, I even sniffed the smell of the sea, waking up from my stopper I help him stand but he still seems to enable to stand looking at his shaky legs
'forget it, I'll just bring him with me, such a frail kid if not eaten then dead moreover I somehow can't bring myself to let him die ' i put my jacket on him and it looked oversized on him then bent down urging him to climb my back. I didn't find burdened holding him rather the opposite the kid keeps emitting a good fragrance replenishing energy and he's also weightless. heading toward the town, I couldn't help but note.
list of necessities to look for:
clothes for the kid
a safe place to sleep at.
I feel like I'm raising a son, or is this how it feels to have a little brother? surprisingly it feels good, I can't believe that in this lifetime I get to pick a cute little brother !!
it seems like 2 years passed after the apocalypse broke out, finding food is no problem for me, my space is full of vegetables and livestock, the little brother will be pleased.
'right I forgot to ask him his name
"what's your name? I'm Li Xiang " it's frustrating that we can't communicate like this, at least we should know each other names yet he surprisingly seems to understand me.
" Erha "
"Good name"our small conversation was small but somehow pleasant and relaxing.
we just reached the town, we now have to stay quiet, the zombies are roaming the streets, they might not be a lot of them but I can't endanger Erha's life I can deal with alone but I can't bet any chances when he's with me, what if a second-order shows up and scratches him?
Li Xiang was concentrated on making the path clear and including his thoughts that he didn't notice that the mentioned boy behind him was on the verge of crying.
' i wanna go back to the sea!!! I'm so scared !! zombies are everywhere !! this man is so bad, does he want to throw me towards them, if not? why still go forward when you see zombies?!'
"We are here " hearing Li Xiang's voice he realized that they stopped in front of a clothing shop for some reason.
his question mark didn't take long to be answered, once the man made sure that the inside is safe, he put him in a chair then goes looking around boxes and shelves.
" here, try wearing this " 4 minutes passes and Li Xiang returns holding a pink shirt and jean striped shorts, looking at the dusty clothes I was disgusted to wear that I immediately shook my head
" you don't like them?" the man raises his eyebrows, everyone knows that the least of everyone's worries are dirty clothes, now it makes it more sure that his identity is not simple. though he cared less about it.
" But I only found these ?" Li Xiang insists but with no delay, Erha still shook his head, and with his hand crossed, Li Xiang didn't get angry but found it funny.
" do you want to stay naked only wearing a jacket, you might catch a cold," he says as if coaching a kid
'Humph, let me tell you being naked doesn't phase me anymore I have been naked for 2 months, I'm a mermaid do you still think I can get cold?' Erha complained using his angry milky voice while the other thought that it was too bad that he couldn't understand him moreover, he looked like a cat reporting her grievance. so cute.
whatever, obviously since he is my cat now it can only have the best . if Erha could hear his thoughts he would've cried" how come that my position changed from a little brother to a cat? and I'm obviously a fish !!".
Li Xiang entered his space filled a bucket of water and also took some fruit out, after washing the fruits he gave it to him and went to wash the clothes.
Erha's eyes were about to pop out, isn't this the famous space storage!!! is he possibly the protagonist of a novel? no!! I can't rush my conclusion, even if he is what does it have with me I just wanna live in peace.
once I took a mouthful I couldn't help but sigh with contentment and accidentally hum the sigh, the sour taste of lemon, the sweet taste of kiwi, and the salty grapes, and each of these fruits are plump and juicy and they tasted better than all the fruits he had eaten before plus they make my body feel so comfortable, I can't believe I get to eat fruits in the apocalypse, I couldn't even afford to buy kiwis in my previous world.
' Such a good guy '
