Xiang Jintian's self-control was exceptional, unlike ordinary people, able to stop himself at the last moment.
He said he couldn't break his vow.
Xu Qian endured it, breaking out in a sweat, and scolded him until she was no longer angry.
However, fortunately, her favorability with him surged to 60. It was true that men were driven by their lower bodies.
The fourth target for conquest appeared.
Xu Qian clicked on the main mission list in her mind, then clicked on the fourth target.
[Ding, Target Information:
Name: Xiao Ping
Age: 27
Height: 1.8 meters
Occupation: None
Character Profile: None yet]
[Ding, System Reminder, Xiao Ping's favorability towards you is 30.]
Xu Qian: …
Could it be someone she knew?
Xu Qian filtered the name Xiao Ping through her mind several times but couldn't recall anyone.
[System, who is this person?]
Even in her past life, she hadn't heard this name.
[Ding, this person plays a significant role in the apocalypse. Host, please be careful in your conquest.]
Xu Qian: It felt like an answer, but also not.
Given the system's nature, if it didn't want to say, it wouldn't.
Xu Qian tapped to see his location, which displayed province T.
Xu Qian glanced at Xiang Jintian, who was fast asleep, and closed her eyes.
She'd sleep on it.
Morning.
The man's brow twitched, and he opened his eyes.
Since joining the army, he had been accustomed to waking up at 5 AM for exercise. This time, he was genuinely woken by Xu Qian.
Her limbs were pressed against his chest and thighs, entwined so tightly he could barely breathe.
It was only 4:30 AM.
He carefully moved her small feet and arms away, tucked her in, and then quietly tiptoed out of bed.
Xu Qian wasn't disturbed by Xiang Jintian's movements.
Her trust and dependence on Xiang Jintian were very high. Even if Mei Yuebai were lying beside her, she would wake up if he moved. But with Xiang Jintian, she wouldn't. He was responsible and sincere.
He genuinely wanted her well-being and to be with her.
It wasn't that Mei Yuebai wasn't sincere, but he had an aggressive nature; he would unconsciously hurt her. This harm might not be intentional, but it was still harm.
Xiang Jintian was different. He was like a father, an older brother, or a comrade-in-arms fighting side-by-side, giving her a sense of security.
A sense of security that he would never leave.
After washing up, Xiang Jintian began doing push-ups, his upper body bare.
Smooth muscle lines rippled with each rep.
Xiang Jintian deliberately slowed his breathing, wanting to avoid waking Xi Xi.
After completing 200 push-ups, he checked the refrigerator and the storage compartment.
There were eggs, chives, instant noodles, and nothing else.
Afraid of waking her, he got out of the vehicle, moved everything outside, closed the door, and cooked outside.
The RV was parked on the road next to the beach.
The sea breeze blew, salty and cool, drying the sweat on his body.
Xiang Jintian opened three packs of instant noodles and cooked them, then casually fried an egg with chives.
Breakfast was ready.
As soon as the instant noodles were brought back into the RV, the aroma made Xu Qian toss and turn in bed.
"Xi Xi."
"Mmm…"
"Breakfast is ready."
"Mmm…"
The girl still didn't react much.
Xiang Jintian pursed his lips into a smile, holding the freshly cooked instant noodles and fanning them gently with his palm.
The aroma wafted directly into her nostrils.
Xu Qian's eyebrows knitted slightly, her long lashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.
A bowl of steaming noodles was right before her.
Xu Qian sat up, about to speak, but her stomach rumbled, cutting off her words.
Her expression stiffened, and she swallowed the words she had intended to say.
