CH 57

Chapter 57 - It must have been an angel (1)

At first, there were people whispering to each other. The surrounding area gradually became quiet. After a while, some people started snoring.

Bei Nuan had never slept in the same room with so many people before or in a supermarket. If it wasn't for the zombie virus wreaking havoc, this would be an interesting experience.

Bei Nuan couldn't fall asleep. She closed her eyes and sorted the items in her pocket space. Suddenly, she noticed someone lying down next to her.

She abruptly opened her eyes and vaguely saw another figure next to her in the darkness. Just as she was about to scream, that person tightly covered her mouth.

"It's me." It was Lu Xingchi's voice.

His words didn't comfort Bei Nuan. On the contrary, Bei Nuan got goosebumps. It was the middle of the night. Why did he lie down next to her in the darkness?

Bei Nuan felt a bit regretful. She shouldn't have provoked him in the daytime by hugging and kissing him.

She couldn't try to kill him like she did with Zhou Cang. If the male protagonist died, who would see her acting like a Holy Mother? She wouldn't be able to raise her Holy Mother value anymore then.

Bei Nuan was noticeably tense.

Lu Xingchi was a bit amused. During the day, she hugged and kissed him. Although it looked like she only wanted to kiss his face and accidentally touched his mouth, she had said something so ambiguous immediately after the kiss. She had looked so indignant and inconsolable afterwards. It was obvious that she didn't genuinely like him.

Could it be that she was trying to seduce him because she had failed in persuading him?

After lying in the dark for a while, he couldn't resist the urge to come looking for her. Lu Xingchi didn't know what he was thinking himself. It was probably because they were leaving tomorrow, and he wanted to tease her one more time.

Sure enough, she was really shocked, like a cat with its fur standing up.

Lu Xingchi chuckled and let go of her.

"Take out a few packets of compressed biscuits, ammunition, and a few bottles of water," he said into her ear.

Oh. He was just here to get supplies. Bei Nuan sighed in relief.

Bei Nuan took out the supplies from the pocket space and offered them to him.

Dr. Su had already returned his crossbow and bag to him earlier in the day. Lu Xingchi took the items from her and put them away in his bag.

Bei Nuan softly asked, "What else do you want? I'll put it in your jeep directly. That way you won't have to bring it over yourself tomorrow."

"I don't need anything else. Keep it for yourself."

That's all he needed? He was leaving everything else in the pocket space to her? He was giving her all of the medicine, food, and wilderness survival supplies they had purchased in Ningcheng as well as the emergency cash and money?

Bei Nuan was a bit touched.

"I'll have plenty of chances to come across supplies while outside. You'll be staying here and only have access to stuff in your pocket space." Lu Xingchi urged, "Don't think what you have is a lot. It'll be difficult for you to get more. Keep it for yourself. Don't keep freely giving it away to others." His tone was stern, but it was all for her own good.

Bei Nuan looked at him. He was resting on his side and facing her. In the darkness, she could only see the outline of his broad shoulders and couldn't make out the expression on his face.

In a muted voice, he continued to say, "I'll look for an opportunity to take you to the underground parking garage tomorrow so that you can take out the jeep."

"Okay," Bei Nuan agreed. "At least take a thick sleeping bag? The nights are too cold this time of the year. I'll leave it in the car for you."

"En." Lu Xingchi left with the parting words, "Anyways, take care."

He got up and left.

Bei Nuan had an even harder time falling asleep now.
