Before returning to the hotel, Chen Yuan still ran to the convenience store to fill another bag of food. Although there were still a lot of snacks left for Gu Yan at noon, just in case, it was better to have more of this kind of stuff than less.

Walking out of the convenience store, the sun had completely set. The street in front of me was darkened by the power outage, and the small roars of zombies were everywhere. Everything gives the feeling of being in hell, full of despair and suffocation.

Remembering that there was no electricity in the hotel, Chen Yuan took some more candles, and then began to move quickly towards the hotel. The streets full of zombies are so desolate. Even though Chen Yuan would not be attacked by them, the deep sense of loneliness still made him feel a little breathless.

When I got back to the hotel, there was no light in the hallway.

Hearing Chen Yuan's knock on the door, Gu Yan quickly ran over and opened the door for him.

It seems that she has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"Are you alright?"

"It's fine. Chen Yuan shook his head, "It's a pity that we haven't found the car, so let's take a look here tonight." ”

Gu Yan's reaction was very flat, and she didn't feel the slightest worry or fear at all. She nodded slightly, and followed Chen Yuan back to the room and sat on the edge of the bed.

The light outside the window had almost completely disappeared, and Chen Yuan took out a few candles and lit them in different positions. The dim, somewhat oppressive room was finally lit up by candlelight.

Chen Yuan handed a small bag to Gu Yan first, "This is what you want, uh, it's the first time for me, I forgot to ask you what brand you took when I left, so I picked a few of the most expensive." ”

Gu Yan took it with a shy face, and subconsciously lowered her head, "It's okay, thank you......"

In order to dispel this slightly embarrassing atmosphere, Chen Yuan quickly reached out and took another bag and opened it, "I searched for some more food, let's eat dinner first, you can eat whatever you like." ”

As he spoke, he pushed the bag full of snacks in front of Gu Yan.

"Okay......" Gu Yan responded softly, and then picked up the small bag, "You eat first, I'll go to the bathroom." ”

"Oh oh oh, okay. ”

Gu Yan pursed her lips and nodded, and ran into the toilet with a cigarette. Just as I was about to close the door, I remembered that there was no electricity here. Chen Yuan had already walked over with a candle at this time, "I just forgot to put one in the toilet, so I can see it." As he spoke, he placed the candles in a suitable place, and then helped Gu Yan close the door.

Gu Yan looked at the flickering candle flame next to her, and inexplicably had an indescribable taste in her heart. After a few seconds of such a pause, she came back to her senses and sat on the toilet bowl and tore open the package.

A moment later, she came out of the bathroom, still with a faint flush on her face.

Chen Yuan glanced back at her, still chewing on Snickers in his mouth.

"Come over and get something to eat. ”

"Good. ”

And so began the offbeat candlelit dinner.

The only sound in the room was faintly heard as two people chewed their food.

It seemed that neither of them would be the first to speak to each other in such an occasion, so the two of them had to concentrate on their snacks in this way.

Silence continues to ferment.

Finally, it was Chen Yuan who broke the silence.

"By the way, what snack do you like to eat?"

"It's all right. ”

"Don't have a favorite in particular?"

Gu Yan thought about it seriously, and then shook her head.

Chen Yuan was a little puzzled, "Don't most girls have a lot of snacks they like to eat?"

"Maybe I'm the other minority, right?"

Chen Yuan smiled, "It seems that it should be now." ”

"Actually, I don't usually eat snacks. ”

"Oh...... That's right. ”

Gu Yan sighed softly, and then showed a shallow smile, "Well, because I am a child of a poor family." After saying that, she paused and added, "However, it doesn't seem to make sense to be poor now. ”

Chen Yuan opened a can of Coke and handed it to Gu Yan, "It's okay, I'm also poor." But like you said, it doesn't matter now, the most important thing is that we're still alive. ”

"Thank you. Gu Yan took a sip of Coke and didn't speak again.

The candlelit room fell into silence again.

The two of them finished their respective dinners silently, Chen Yuan took the instant noodles in his hand and said to himself: "The egg hurts, I forgot that there is no electricity and no hot water, and I originally thought that I could eat a bowl of instant noodles deliciously." ”

Gu Yan looked at him, a little curious, "Do you like instant noodles very much?"

"I don't like it. Chen Yuan threw the box of instant noodles aside, "You don't know how many instant noodles I ate in my freshman year to save money, really, that is, life is forced now, so hot water instant noodles have become very precious, otherwise I want to vomit when I see instant noodles." ”

Gu Yan nodded, seemingly having some interest in this topic, "Then what are you saving money for?"

Chen Yuan was stunned.

At the beginning, I saved money to buy various gifts for Tong Xia, an unattainable goddess. It's just that no one thought that this kind of drastic change would happen in the real world at that time. And in the end, Tong Xia really came together with herself.

Dense memories came flooding back to the question in my mind. After more than two months of getting along with the zombies after the appearance of the zombies, all the good and bad things made Chen Yuan feel that the arrangement of fate was so incredible.

"What's wrong with you?"

Gu Yan's voice woke Chen Yuan up from his memories.

He blinked, only then did he notice that Gu Yan was looking at him with curiosity.

"Uh, oh, it's okay, it's okay, I thought about some stupid things I did at the beginning, haha, it's a little embarrassing. Chen Yuan didn't tell Gu Yan what he had done with the money he saved, and Gu Yan didn't continue to ask.

Time advanced for a moment in the silence of the two men.

Chen Yuan drank the Coke in his hand, then lit a cigarette and smoked it.

"Wouldn't you be bored like this?"

Gu Yan shook her head lightly, "No." ”

"You're amazing, show you a funny one. After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he took a hard puff of cigarette, then controlled the strength of his mouth, and gently exhaled a smoke ring, and after a short interval, he spit out another smoke ring, and finally a total of three smoke rings slowly floated forward in the air.

Gu Yan opened her eyes wide and looked at the three smoke rings that were gradually distorting and dissipating in the air, her expression was full of surprise, as if she had never seen such a thing.

Looking at her expression, Chen Yuan smiled and said, "How is it, isn't it amazing?"

Gu Yan nodded blankly, "It's amazing." ”

"Then I'll put on a show for you again. ”

After speaking, Chen Yuan took another puff of cigarette, and then spit out three smoke rings as he did.

Gu Yan looked at it intently, and suddenly said to Chen Yuan, "Can you teach me?"

Chen Yuan immediately refused, "It's not good for girls to smoke, and this thing is harmful to your health, I can't hurt you." ”

"But you've been smoking. ”

Gu Yan's expression looked serious.

Whenever he saw her like this, Chen Yuan felt that she was inexplicably cute. With an angelic face and such a demeanor, it is really a beautiful mess.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but look at her twice, and then explained to her with a smile: "I'm a man, I'm different from you." ”

"What's the difference?"

"It's different everywhere......"

"I want to learn. ”

"No, I can't. ”

Gu Yan bit her lip and showed a pitiful look, as if she was pleading.

"Not really!"

"When will it be?"

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Only then will we be able to wait until we are truly safe and your body has completely recovered." ”

Gu Yan nodded as if compromising, "Okay then." ”

Chen Yuan extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and said to Gu Yan: "Why don't you sing to me, it seems that I haven't heard you sing for a long time." ”

Gu Yan looked at Chen Yuan and responded softly, "What do you want to hear?"

"Whatever?"

"Well, see if I will. ”

"Well, "What ifs", right?"

"Good. ”

Gu Yan blinked and thought about it, as if she was recalling the song.

After a moment, she spoke slowly.

"I've thought about one thing, it's not a bad thing......"

The soft, ethereal singing gradually spread through the small room.

Her voice is still as beautiful as heaven, so intoxicating.

"If you can't control it anymore, think of me once a day, if you're honest because of me......"

She sang quietly, and Chen Yuan listened quietly.

At this moment, it was as if everything in the world had become beautiful because of her singing.

Chen Yuan was completely immersed in her singing, and she didn't seem to have eased up until she finished singing the song.

Gu Yan looked at him and whispered, "I'm done singing." ”

Chen Yuan blinked sluggishly, and then watched Gu Yan come back to his senses.

He hurriedly raised his hand and applauded, "It's so good!"

"Really?"

"Well, why don't you sing another one?"

"Which more song would you like to hear?"

"Think about it, 'Is it okay for your tavern to close me'?"

"Good. ”

A moment later, the song that would have made you fall into it after just one sentence sounded again.

"When you appeared, you were drunk with time, and there was no wine, and I was like a poor absurd man, but you didn't give alms......"

……

The moon this night was hidden behind the clouds, as if it didn't dare to come out because of fear of being intoxicated by Gu Yan's singing.

The two of them just ordered a song and sang it alone, and before they knew it, the night was already very deep.

Feeling Gu Yan's exhaustion, Chen Yuan finally didn't continue to order songs.

Gu Yan looked at him with a light smile, "Have you heard enough?"

"You sing so well, how can I hear enough. It's just that it's getting late, and you need to rest. ”

As he spoke, Chen Yuan picked up an iron rod and a few unlit candles and prepared to walk out the door.

Gu Yan looked at his back and immediately asked nervously, "Where are you going?"

Chen Yuan raised his finger and said, "Don't worry, I'm just going next door." ”

"Oh......"

Looking at the double bed she was sitting on, Gu Yan probably understood what Chen Yuan meant.

"Then you have a good rest, and if you have something, call me directly, I can hear it. ”

"Good. ”

Chen Yuan nodded, then took his things and walked to the door.

At this time, Gu Yan's soft voice came over again.

"Chen Yuan, you ...... Can you stay?"
