Chapter 16: Worry

"You don't have to give me an umbrella."

Exhaling a breath, Liu Ansheng took his eyes off Xu Shuyao on the side.

He raised his hand and wiped his face, brushing back his hair, which was still soaked in the rain.

"I'm already soaking wet anyway, do me a favor and bring the oil in."

After saying this, Liu Ansheng lifted the oil drum placed in the trunk of the car, and Xu Shuyao, who was standing aside and was told not to use an umbrella, first experienced a short stunned moment, and after reacting, he put away the umbrella in his hand, and was about to take the diesel barrel from him.

In an instant, the rain drenched her hair and clothes.

This scene was seen by Liu Ansheng, who first showed a look of surprise, and then seemed to want to open his mouth to scold.

Zhang, but didn't scold.

He sighed helplessly, and then said.

"I told you not to give me an umbrella, I didn't ask you not to give yourself an umbrella...... Wouldn't you just go back with an umbrella and a bucket? ”

"Also...... Oh yes too......"

Hearing Liu Ansheng say this, Xu Shuyao also discovered his stupidity, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

After laughing a few times, he secretly glanced at Liu Ansheng, bent down to pick up the bucket of diesel, turned around and trotted towards the house.

Leave Liu Ansheng alone to stay there.

It wasn't until she entered the house that Liu Ansheng secretly shook his head.

The rain was a bit heavy, and when Liu Ansheng and Xu Shuyao transported all the items in the car back to the house, their bodies were almost wet.

took a bath towel from the bathroom, and Liu Ansheng wiped it roughly.

When he began to rub his hair, which had grown quite a bit, he paused slightly.

looked at Xu Shuyao, who was looking in the mirror not far away, and was grooming her hair there......

Rubbed it up again.

"Xu Shuyao."

"Huh?"

Xu Shuyao, who was looking in the mirror, heard Liu Ansheng's call, stopped the movements of his hands, and turned to look at him.

There was confusion in his expression.

Seeing the other party looking at him, Liu Ansheng pretended to ask inadvertently.

"How are you feeling right now?"

was stunned for a moment at first, and after hearing his words, Xu Shuyao didn't quite understand.

Blinked, thought for a moment.

"What's ......?"

I said...... Are you happy in this world where there is no one but me? ”

“……”

Thump.

The speed of her heartbeat seemed to speed up a bit, and Xu Shuyao's eyes widened a lot at the moment when these words came into her ears.

looked at Liu Ansheng who was wiping his body with a bath towel not far away......

What did he mean by that......

His face began to look a little wrong, and the clothes that had been wet by the rain and fit his body didn't seem to be felt at this moment, and other thoughts came to his mind.

Humans are social animals.

Even if two unrelated people have been together for a long time, it is inevitable that some other ideas will arise, not to mention that Xu Shuyao, who rarely communicates with strangers, gets along with each other every day for nearly a month.

It is natural that he has a little good impression, plus the bonus points of the other party's appearance, Xu Shuyao's senses for him are not too bad from the beginning.

It's even a little tall.

This suddenly, as if ambiguous words came out of his mouth, Xu Shuyao, who was not too old, should think crookedly.

Instantly, I thought of somewhere else.

She still remembers the love novels that were very popular in her classmates in high school...... I've seen a similar plot before.

The hero always has a cold attitude towards the female protagonist, but always gives warmth at a critical time.

Think about it this way......

"I ...... I'm so happy......"

The voice was so low that he didn't know how to place his hands, so he could only helplessly tug at his rain-soaked clothes.

Toes curled slightly.

Liu Ansheng heard the other party's answer.

Looking at Xu Shuyao's somewhat twisted posture, he didn't say anything, but said after being silent for a while.

"That's good, will you take a shower now?"

“!!!”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Shuyao suddenly raised his hand to cover his already hot face.

Whispered in response.

"It's too fast......"

Turned around and turned his back to Liu Ansheng.

"We haven't decided on a relationship yet...... Just ...... together It's not ......."

“……”

The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

The hand holding the bath towel tightened, and after Liu Ansheng took a deep breath, he strode towards her location.

grabbed the other party's arm and pulled it out.

Dragged it out of the bathroom.

"If you don't wash, don't stand here, I'll wash."

"Huh?"

"Ahh

“……”

With the sound of the door being slammed, only Xu Shuyao was left standing there.

stared blankly at the bathroom door that was still closed, and the hand that had just covered his face because of shyness was slowly lowered at this moment......

Things didn't seem to be what she had imagined.

in the bathroom.

Remove the soaked clothes from his body, and then pull out the plastic bucket placed under the sink, with a thermos next to it.

After getting some hot water in, pour some large buckets of cold water that have been prepared next to it, mix it slightly, and keep the water temperature within the range that the human body can accept.

I used a small plastic basin about 20 centimeters in diameter to dig water and wash my body.

Rinse from head to toe, and in order to save water, re-brush and start applying shampoo to your head and body soap.

The expression was slightly solemn.

Liu Ansheng would not ask Xu Shuyao that kind of question for no reason.

The reason why he asked like that was just to confirm the conjecture in his heart, to be precise, Liu Ansheng was suspicious of her from the beginning.

It's not hard to understand.

came to such a world for no reason, different from the first time, this time there was Xu Shuyao in addition to himself.

It was also on the day of contact with the other party that the previously stagnant time began to flow again.

The next step is to cut off the power supply.

Just like a pre-arranged script, Liu Ansheng always felt that there was an invisible hand behind him manipulating the direction of events.

Intentional or unintentional ...... Let yourself meet Xu Shuyao.

Everything seems a little unreasonable, which is why Liu Ansheng has always been a little wary of her.

If you are a normal person, how can you be happy in such an environment......

She has no heart every day, she seems to be quite satisfied with the current situation, and she has no idea of returning to the original world.

The most important thing is that whenever she asks about her past, she either deliberately avoids it or casually fools her past...... And the reasons sound flawed.

It's not too difficult to tell if a person is lying, just ask her the same questions repeatedly.

After a long time, it will inevitably show its feet.

For nearly a month, Liu Ansheng has been collecting supplies outside, relying on his judgment, it is impossible for the two of them to survive for too long in such a world.

Cities created by humans will suffer unpredictable disasters after they lose their control.

The simplest example is a nuclear power plant, which would have been inconceivably hazardous.

Of course, the nuclear power plant itself has a self-detection system, and when humans suddenly disappear, it will automatically enter safe mode and stop operating, which will not cause much harm in a short time.

But there is a huge hidden danger in the city.

That's the subway station.

In order to maintain the basic operation of the subway, it is necessary to pump water at all times, and once the human beings disappear, the city under the control of the human will fall back into the apocalyptic disaster within a few days.

And now the two have been living in the city for 24 days, and none of this has happened.

This also makes Liu Ansheng even more determined about the authenticity of this world.

Everything doesn't make sense.

After washing the foam off his body and wiping it off, Liu Ansheng picked up the clothes that had been prepared in the bathroom and put them on, opened the door and walked out of the room.

On the sofa not far away, I saw Xu Shuyao eating the potato chips she brought back from the supermarket last time......

Everything seems to point the finger at the person in front of him...... This made Liu Ansheng always wary of her.

Even if the other party looks harmless, even if she always shows herself all kinds of things under the passage of time.

But Liu Ansheng always pretended to be confused and avoided the other party again and again.

Hearing the movement of the bathroom door opening, Xu Shuyao, who was eating potato chips and thinking about things, turned around and looked at Liu Ansheng, who had just finished taking a shower.

After thinking about it, he picked up the other snacks that were sitting aside and held up a pack in his direction.

"Do you eat?"

"Nope."

Refusing the other party, Liu Ansheng turned around and prepared to walk towards his room.

I had just taken two steps and suddenly stopped.

Look back at each other.

"Eat less snacks if you can, those are emergency foods in reserve, and meat can't stay fresh for too long."

"Got it......"

Shrinking his head, seeing Liu Ansheng's fierce appearance, Xu Shuyao was no longer as scared as he was at the beginning.

But he still obediently put away the other snacks and only ate the packet of potato chips that had been opened.

Put it in your mouth one by one.

This kind of snack that has been tired of being eaten, she loves it very much.

It's like...... A child who hasn't grown up.

After a final glance at the other party, Liu Ansheng turned his head and walked towards his room with a little concern.

He didn't know how long it would last.

I don't know...... What will you face in the future......
