Chapter 77

Although they indeed have a lot of supplies, there’s no need to create trouble for themselves.

Seeing that Lin Yixuan and Lin Wansheng both insisted, Lin Qianhuan had no choice but to agree.

With a heavy workload for tomorrow, they didn’t talk much longer. After returning to their rooms to wash up, they fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Qianhuan slept for a long time during the day, so she wasn’t sleepy at night. She lay in bed reading a book.

Before she could turn the page, she heard three “Dong” knocks on the door.

“He Lu?”

She sat up, put on her slippers, and opened the door.

He Lu stood obediently outside the door wearing a pink nightgown, her big eyes looking wet.

“What’s wrong?”

Lin Qianhuan was a little puzzled and stepped aside to let her in.

Looking around at the furnishings in her room, He Lu sat obediently on the beanbag chair beside her.

“I can’t sleep, and I guessed you couldn’t either, so I thought I’d come over and chat with you.”

Lin Qianhuan was a little surprised. She casually put the book on the table, grabbed a pillow, hugged it, and looked up at her.

“You want to talk about Number 5, right?”

She had come once last night, but was turned away because she was too sleepy.

She didn’t expect her to come again today, which was quite persistent.

He Lu nodded shyly, twisting the slightly curly ends of her hair with her fingertips, a faint scent of shower gel wafting from her body.

“Go ahead, I’m listening.

But I have to tell you first, I won’t agree to him moving into Villa 36.”

Stating her position first, Lin Qianhuan then raised her hand, signaling He Lu to continue.

He Lu hurriedly waved her hand, “That’s not what I meant, don’t misunderstand me.

Today, I used my earth power to go to the villa where he lives to find him, and we talked for a while.

I told him that you needed to find the whereabouts of Number 7 and A-306, so he went with the army to the Kyoto safety zone to look for clues.”

Lin Qianhuan was a little shocked, “Why is he helping me?”

He Lu blinked, “Because you’re my best friend, and I told him you would protect me.”

She sat down next to Lin Qianhuan with a smile, “I know you don’t want to settle in the Kyoto base, but if you don’t go, you won’t be able to find the whereabouts of Number 7 and A-306.

It just so happened that Number 5 had nothing to do, so he went to Kyoto to help you find those two people.

He said he would try to bring back news within 2 months, but he might come back empty-handed, so he told me to give you a heads-up.”

Lin Qianhuan opened her mouth, but didn’t say anything.

Traveling from Yuncheng to Kyoto took a full 5 hours by car before the apocalypse.

After the apocalypse, even traveling with a large group, the dangers along the way were unimaginable.

The fact that Number 5 was willing to help her was indeed surprising to Lin Qianhuan.

Seeing her not speaking, He Lu patted her shoulder reassuringly.

“Don’t worry, Number 5 is very powerful. Although he’s an earth-type power user, his attack power isn’t weak either.

He told me that he won’t hold it over your head, and he won’t ask for any reward from you.”

Lin Qianhuan looked up at He Lu, “Then what does he want?

I don’t believe that someone who is almost a stranger to me is willing to travel thousands of miles for me.”

He Lu pulled at her collar a little embarrassedly, “He hopes to join your team.

Finding the whereabouts of Number 7 and A-306 is his foot in the door.

You are my good friend, I don’t want to leave you, but he doesn’t want to leave me either, so…”

He Lu rubbed her face, her cheeks slightly flushed under the dim night light.

Lin Qianhuan curled her lips and chuckled helplessly, “You came to my room late at night to show off your love?”

“Of course not! Number 5 is my brother, the most important relative in this world!”

“Brother? Are you related by blood?”

He Lu scratched her head, “Not really, but the two of us grew up together, and he has always taken good care of me.

I think that’s what a brother is, just like your two brothers, Qianhuan.”

Her gaze was solemn, clearly not feeling that there was anything wrong with her understanding.

Lin Qianhuan chuckled, “Have you ever seen my two brothers holding hands?

At best, you and Number 5 are childhood sweethearts.”

He Lu blinked, “What’s the difference?”

“I can accept my two brothers having intimate lovers, can you?

Can you accept Number 5 holding hands and hugging other women?

Are you willing to let him pour the love he has for you on other women?”

Hearing this, He Lu’s little face wrinkled, shaking her head frantically.

“I don’t want to!”

Lin Qianhuan nodded knowingly, “So, that’s the difference.

The love between me and my two brothers is sibling love, the feelings between you and Number 5 should be a combination of sibling love and romantic love, right?

Sibling love comes from your day-to-day interaction, and romantic love can naturally be seen from your possessiveness towards each other.

He Lu, you should be more careful.

If you don’t recognize your feelings for Number 5, and he gets snatched away by another girl, don’t come crying to me.”

He Lu covered her racing heart in disbelief, “I like Number 5?

Does Number 5 like me too?”

“Yes, he likes you.”

Lin Qianhuan sighed helplessly, she really didn’t want to be a relationship advisor.

But seeing these two being so clingy in front of her, yet calling each other brother and sister, really made her feel a little tired.

He Lu’s big eyes sparkled, “So Number 5 likes me, just like Jiang Xing likes you!”

Hearing this, Lin Qianhuan choked on her saliva and coughed violently, pounding her chest hard, unable to catch her breath.

What was that all about?

When did Jiang Xing like her?

Finally calming down, Lin Qianhuan took a sip of milk to soothe her throat, “Don’t talk nonsense about things you don’t know, you almost scared me to death.

It’s already very late, go back to sleep, I still have tasks for you tomorrow.”

He Lu pouted unhappily, “I clearly didn’t say anything wrong, Qianhuan doesn’t believe me, hmph.”

After speaking, she ran back to her room in her little rabbit slippers, leaving Lin Qianhuan alone in a mess in the room.

That was just bizarre.

The night passed quickly, and the spring days were getting brighter and brighter.

When Lin Qianhuan woke up, it was already bright, but when she went downstairs, she found breakfast warming in the pot, and her two elder brothers had already disappeared.

She rubbed her sore neck.

“Fortunately, they brought gloves, hats, and all kinds of tools, so I don’t have to deliver them again.”

Lin Qianhuan brought a bowl of fragrant preserved egg and lean meat porridge to the dining table, and was about to put it in her mouth when she suddenly met Jiang Xing’s amber eyes.

He looked like he had just woken up, his black hair a little messy.

His originally aggressive appearance was also inexplicably softened a lot.

Thinking of what He Lu said yesterday, Lin Qianhuan’s heart skipped a beat for no reason, but there was no flaw on her face.

“Morning, there’s porridge in the pot, get it yourself.”

She greeted Jiang Xing and secretly cursed herself for being hopeless in her heart.
