Xie Yayun returned after finishing the porridge, stunned. The foolish child was still holding Xu Qian like that, refusing to let go.
Anyone else would have their back aching and put the person down long ago.
Xie Yayun finally understood why Xu Qian denied it.
This boy was a simpleton, knowing nothing, and indeed hard to make understand.
"Xiao Lu, put Xu Qian down. She'll sleep more comfortably lying down."
Xu Lu was startled and placed the girl back on the pillow.
"Yayun, when will Sister wake up?"
"Call me Sister Yayun! She'll wake up when it's dawn. You should go to sleep now."
"Okay..." The youth scrambled onto the bed and slept beside Xu Qian.
Xie Yayun scratched her head, wondering if this boy was truly foolish or pretending.
"Xiao Lu, you can't sleep together. Get down quickly."
Xu Lu blinked and asked, "Why?"
Xie Yayun: "..." Boys and girls should not touch!
Xie Yayun didn't know how to explain, so she instructed, "Don't close the door. I'll be watching you."
She figured this boy wouldn't know better anyway.
He used to be quiet, and now she finally understood he was just a typical little boy. Talking to him was like chatting with her own daughter.
"Oh."
Early morning.
Xu Qian woke up hungry. She slowly opened her eyes, about to sit up.
"Sister! You're awake!"
Xu Qian turned her head, and the boy's enlarged handsome face was right in front of her, almost zero distance.
Her expression didn't change, and she moved back slightly.
"Xiao Lu, how are you feeling?"
The boy nervously touched her forehead and arms. They had returned to a normal coolness. He breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Sister, I'm glad you're alright."
Xu Qian: "..."
The little zombie seemed to be fine.
The two rushed in upon hearing the voices.
"Xiao Qian, you're finally awake. Come down and have some porridge. How do you feel?"
Xu Qian was taken aback and asked, "What happened to me?"
She remembered Xu Lu had fainted, and she was watching him beside him, and then... nothing else.
Xie Yayun stepped forward and touched her forehead. The temperature had gone down.
"You had a high fever last night. Fortunately, there was medicine in the car..."
Xu Qian sniffed her clothes and realized her whole body smelled. It seemed she had been burning severely last night.
"Thank you for taking care of me."
Without them, relying on this little zombie, she might have burned to death.
The two quickly waved their hands.
"Military advisor, we're eating and drinking yours. We haven't contributed anything yet, so don't mention it."
"Xiao Qian, don't say such things in the future."
A hint of moisture flashed in Xu Qian's eyes, and she nodded gently.
She hadn't been sick in a long time, nor had she felt the care of friends in a long time...
Perhaps because she hadn't been sick in so long, Xu Qian's body hadn't recovered even after a few days, and she still felt weak all over.
The three people and one zombie stayed in the villa for a week before departing for R Province.
Xu Qian unfolded the map. The base was in a tourist area.
"Do you know how many entrances the tourist area has?"
Yi Chun recalled and said, "I remember there were two, the South Gate and the North Gate. We thought the North Gate was closer, so we entered the scenic area from there."
Xu Qian tapped the map.
"Then let's go to the South Gate first and decide."
There weren't many people on the road from Q Province to R Province. It was estimated that everyone was looking for her in Q Province.
As the vehicle approached the scenic area entrance, Xu Qian opened the map first.
The map showed the complete route of the scenic area, but the little green man didn't appear. However, there were quite a few little red zombies.
Xu Qian dared not be careless. Hui Feichi would surely be furious when he realized he had been tricked and would place all bases on high alert.
