After a peaceful night, He Sheng slept in Li Yanting's arms. When he woke up, he saw Li Yanting's red eyes.
"Aren't you asleep?"
He Sheng looked at him with some distress, and the stubble on Li Yanting's face appeared again, covering his chin with a green patch, making him look even more haggard.
"Um."
Li Yanting looked at her in awe, and rubbed her face with his fingers a few times. Then he leaned down slightly, cupped He Sheng's cheek, and kissed her forehead carefully.
Except for the time when he went berserk with supernatural powers, this was the first time Li Yanting took the initiative to kiss her.
Li Yanting rarely made such intimate gestures. Holding hands or hugging was mostly initiated by He Sheng. Li Yanting never refused, and even responded very restrainedly.
He Sheng's eyes widened in surprise. Li Yanting's palms were very hot, and when his dry lips fell on her forehead, they were not as gentle as expected.
The gentle kiss broke at the first touch, and the dry lips caused a slight sting on her forehead. Then Li Yanting's hard stubble pressed against her, and He Sheng bumped back into Li Yanting's arms, and was silenced by him.
Embracing the ground.
"What's wrong with you?"
Li Yanting's mood was not right, so He Sheng honestly let him hold him, hugged him back, and used all his strength to support Li Yanting.
"It's okay." Li Yanting said, lowered his head and rubbed the top of He Sheng's head with his stubble, "He Sheng, you..."
Li Yanting hesitated for a moment, but finally said nothing: "Forget it, it's nothing."
"Then tell me when you want to say it."
He Sheng answered very considerately, stepped out and kissed Li Yanting's green chin, "Anyway, I will always be with you."
"If it will be dangerous in the future..."
Seeing how dependent she was on him, Li Yanting was heartbroken and couldn't help but ask.
"No."
He Sheng immediately interrupted Li Yanting's words, looked directly into Li Yanting's eyes and said, "Nothing makes me feel safer than staying by your side."
"Moreover, I am not a weakling with no strength. I will grow up quickly and will not become your weakness. Instead, I will become a comrade who fights alongside you and a lover."
At the end of the sentence, He Sheng's face turned red. She lowered her head in embarrassment, and her forehead hit Li Yanting's chin.
Then she felt Li Yanting's chin move, along with his throat, and the hot palm on her back.
His voice was hoarse and restrained, making people blush for nothing: "You will always be my weakness."
...I will always protect you.
"Oh... I feel so numb this morning." He Sheng bumped into Li Yanting hard, patted his face, opened the car door and ran out to cool down his face.
At this time, Dakun and the others also got out of the car. Landuo set up the stove in the open space beside him, while Dakun yawned and came to his elder brother's place to enjoy the autumn breeze.
"Brother, do you have a cigarette?"
Dakun was lying on the car window, his sleepy eyes slightly narrowed, and when he lowered his head, he saw something he shouldn't have seen.
"Hey." Da Kun quickly moved his eyes away and looked at the roof of the car erratically.
Li Yanting ignored him, took out half a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it on Da Kun.
Da Kun very sensibly took one and handed it to Li Yanting, with a teasing look on his face that every man would understand: "Please bring down the fire."
"Get out of here." Li Yanting took the cigarette, took out the lighter, lit it, and took a heavy puff. His inner agitation was still hard to calm down.
"Then what, the bathroom of the gas station is in the northeast corner. If you can't do it, just..."
While Da Kun was teasing, Li Yanting suddenly hissed coldly, and his dagger-like eyes flew to Da Kun. Da Kun took a few steps back and raised his hands to give in.
"It's not morning, I understand."
Dakun laughed twice, took two puffs of a whole cigarette, rolled it around in his lungs, and spit it out again.
"It's cool!" He threw the tail of the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it. He turned around and saw Liufeng coming back from the night watch, carrying a box of Coke in his hand.
"I had nothing to do last night, so I looked at the trunks of the nearby cars." Liufeng was holding an open can in his hand, took two gulps and burped.
Then he threw the empty can away and it landed under the car next to Dakun.
Da Kun thoughtfully asked Liu Feng for a can, and while drinking, he stared at the bottle in a daze.
No one knows what he is thinking, but without his noise, the world is much quieter.
The road ahead was much smoother. After breakfast, they found a few clean cars.
According to the navigation system in the car, I located the location of Qinghe Refuge City and rushed there.
According to the offline navigation display, it is about 500 kilometers from their current location to Qinghe Refuge City.
If the road is no longer as crowded as before, they will be able to reach the vicinity of Qinghe Refuge City in about five hours.
"Hurry up and absorb the crystal cores. Landuo, take some of the remaining crystal cores and share them with everyone. There should be a city fee for entering the city this time."
Li Yanting sat in the passenger seat, raised his hand and rubbed the hair on the back of He Sheng's head, speaking in a gentle tone that made Da Kun's teeth itch.
"Can it really be opened?" Li Yanting asked.
"Don't worry, just protect my little chicken." He Sheng nodded, looking at the eggs placed in Li Yanting's arms, his face full of anticipation.
"It's just an egg."
Da Kun interrupted and said that the eggs in the team had been eaten long ago. Da Kun had been interested in this egg for a long time, but He Sheng wouldn't let it move.
"It will break out of its shell!"
He Sheng retorted, reached out and touched the egg, and felt it carefully. She caught the weak heartbeat of the chick. He Sheng's eyes lit up, and her chick was about to break out of its shell.
Strangely enough, He Sheng, who was just helping Lan Duo pick up eggs that day, suddenly had a strong feeling when he encountered this egg.
A consciousness formed in her mind, telling her that the egg was alive.
She then picked out the egg, made a small nest suitable for it to hatch, and took good care of it.
Today, it was the first time that she intuitively felt the heartbeat of the chick. This feeling was very strange.
And her wonderful feeling is naturally something that rough guys can't understand.
Not only Da Kun, but also Li Yanting also showed great confusion and disapproval of He Sheng's egg-hatching behavior.
But she didn't know that Li Yanting was actually just jealous of this egg.
After setting off again, the road conditions were still smooth. He Sheng carried the four superpowers and followed the cars in the front group, carefully keeping the distance between them.
The four superpowers in her car are trying their best to absorb the energy of the crystal core. They must advance their superpowers as much as possible before entering Qinghe Refuge City.
Because once they enter Qinghe Refuge City, changes will be out of their control.
