Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂

Chapter 37. (2/2)

The room was very simple, with only a bed and a table. The two slept there for the night. The next day, Cheng Rui went out for half a day, and when he returned, he asked her to come with him in the car to another place.

Cheng Rui’s adoptive mother’s son was a high-ranking official at the Yaoyang Base, currently a third-tier ability user. He lived in a small villa, a large house of several hundred square meters.

Bai Qing Qing moved in with Cheng Rui and met Cheng Rui’s stepbrother, Cheng Yan, that evening.

“Hello, I’m Cheng Yan, Cheng Rui’s brother.” The man was tall, appeared to be around 30 years old, and exuded authority.

Bai Qing Qing feigned a shy demeanor: “Hello, I’m Bai Qing Qing.”

Cheng Yan said sternly, “You’ll be living here with Cheng Rui from now on. If you need anything, just tell the housekeeper.”

“Okay,” Bai Qing Qing replied politely, smiling.

Cheng Rui told her to go back to her room and rest, then went to the study room. “Big Brother,” he said.

The two brothers had a good relationship since childhood. Cheng Yan, a few years older than Cheng Rui, had taken good care of him, and it had been several years since they last saw each other after Cheng Rui left home.

Cheng Yan was one of the leaders of the base. He learned from Cheng Rui how he arrived at Yaoyang Base and how he got separated from his teammates upon entering. “Don’t worry, I’ll send people out to find them,” Cheng Rui said.

Cheng Rui agreed to stay at Yaoyang Base with his older brother to lead the base together. They discussed base-related matters in the study for a while.

After finishing their work-related conversation, Cheng Yan remembered the young girl he had brought back and asked, “You like that girl?”

Cheng Rui admitted, “Yes, Big Brother.”

Cheng Yan’s first impression of Bai Qing Qing was that she was a delicate and timid beauty, if she were released, she would definitely cause a stir among the men.

“Then you’d better hide her well,” Cheng Yan said bluntly. “The apocalypse isn’t like before. Bai Qing Qing is too beautiful, many people will want to take her away.”

Cheng Rui pursed his lips and said, “Big brother, she and I are just friends.”

Cheng Yan’s face darkened instantly, suspecting his brother was incompetent: “You still haven’t won her over?”

Cheng Rui clearly didn’t want to talk more, saying, “Tonight’s New Year’s Eve, big brother, I’ll go see what we’re having.”

Cheng Yan stood up and patted his shoulder, saying, “You’d better work hard, kid. Don’t be unable to handle even a little girl.”

Men like them, who served in the military, mostly had a roguish air about them. They would go straight for the girl they liked, without resorting to the roundabout ways of pursuing someone.

New Year’s Eve at the base was a little more lively than usual. The lights were on in the ability user area as people gathered at home for a meal.

As one of the leaders of the Yaoyang Base, Cheng Yan’s living and eating standards were far superior to those of ordinary people. His family’s chef was renowned before the apocalypse.

Dinner was laid out on the table. Cheng Rui, Cheng Yan, Cheng Yan’s women, and Bai Qing Qing sat down.

Bai Qing Qing had a small appetite, and despite the food being even more delicious than what she had eaten in the car, she didn’t eat much.

Cheng Rui sat next to her, using serving chopsticks to put a lot of food on her plate. His older brother noticed this, and his dark eyes gleamed.

The meal was quickly finished. With no entertainment, Bai Qing Qing went back to her room to wash up. She lazily soaked in the bathtub, lathering herself while her mind wandered.

The team had been separated for several days. Why hadn’t her brother and the team arrived at Yaoyang Base yet? Bai Tian YTian was the Mary Sue female lead, and they were also the main characters, they should be alright, right?

The system hadn’t reported any side quest failures yet, so the professor and his wife should be fine, too.

Bai Qing Qing sensed that Cheng Rui harbored some feelings for her, and she secretly hoped Fu Chen would arrive at Yaoyang Base soon. She didn’t want to be stuck by his side after only winning over the second character.

However, Yaoyang Base truly lived up to its reputation as one of the major survivor bases; its facilities were complete, and the superhumans’ lives were no different from before the apocalypse.

Bai Qing Qing soaked in the water for a while, dried herself, changed into her pajamas, and went out. It was still early, and unable to sleep, she went to get some water.

A tall, slender figure stood on the balcony. Cheng Rui, dressed in black loungewear, stood there, a cigarette between his fingers, his handsome, cold eyes slightly furrowed.

His muscles were beautifully defined, his clothes slightly tight, showcasing a rugged, muscular physique to its fullest, exuding a strong masculine aura.

Bai Qing Qing, carrying the water, hesitated, unsure whether to greet him.

Cheng Rui heard footsteps and turned, seeing her standing in the living room. He stubbed out his cigarette and walked over.

The living room lights were off, and the room was dimly lit. Wearing slippers, her fair feet were visible, and her delicate pink toes curled slightly as he approached.

Cheng Rui glanced at her restless toes and asked in a deep voice, “Still not asleep?”

“Mmm,” Bai Qing Qing replied softly, gripping her glass tightly.
