Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 131 Explaining knowledge, like it or not

The taste of roasted corn is very good. Unlike the full and sweet taste of boiled corn, the roasted corn kernels have a slightly dry and burnt aroma when eaten.

The flames that directly wrap around the corn seem to bring out all the sweetness of the corn kernels, giving it a unique flavor.

But at this time, Yao Wei had no intention of enjoying the delicious taste of the food.

She felt confused and had a feeling that something was wrong with her.

Touching Lu Xian, in fact, should not be a big deal for her. Moreover, she just touched him with her fingertips and quickly withdrew her hand.

But why did I suddenly think of those scenes?

The scenes in the picture books... It seemed that they didn't just flash through her mind at this moment. Just now when Lu Xian took off his clothes, she seemed to remember them.

Otherwise, why was he a little afraid to look at Lu Xian just now?
My clothes got soaked, so I quickly took them off and hung them out to dry. There was a fire so I could warm them up. It was a perfectly normal thing to do...

I have also seen people's upper bodies before.

I walked all the way from south to north, and then from north to here. I saw many people and many things, including some who had no clothes on and froze to death in the wilderness with their naked bodies.

I didn't do that when I met those people...

Is it because you have never seen the pictures in that book before?

Yao Wei made a random guess, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was not the case.

She can now recall the appearance of those people, including those who froze to death in the cold winter and those who were shirtless in the scorching summer.

But when I think back on it, I don’t think there was anything…

Forget it, don’t think about it, it’s useless.

She reminded herself mentally and ate the roasted corn in her hand in big mouthfuls.

"Do you still want to eat?"

Lu Xian's voice rang out.

"what……"

Yao Wei was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and saw that Lu Xian had also finished his own corn, removed the branch, and was using a screwdriver to pierce holes in another raw corn that had not yet been roasted.

Lu Xian took four ears of corn from the car and only roasted two of them.

"eat."

Yao Wei nodded without hesitation, and for a moment she suddenly forgot to pay attention to Lu Xian's upper body.

"Then fix this one."

Lu Xian smiled slightly and handed the corn with holes pierced in his hand to Yao Wei. Then he picked up another raw corn and pierced the end of the corn with a screwdriver to make holes again.

Yao Wei silently pulled out the branch from the remaining corn cob, stuck it into the hole of the raw corn, and put it on the fire in the fireplace to roast.

She put more wood in the fireplace and threw in some corncobs to make the fire burn better.

The rain was still falling outside the shelter, hitting the sheets with a muffled "puff puff puff" sound, which complemented the sound of raindrops falling to the ground, making the fire in the fireplace seem particularly peaceful.

Yao Wei just quietly watched the flames jumping around the corn, feeling the heat on her face and body, and her heart gradually calmed down.

She felt her sanity gradually returning, and the feeling of regaining control of her thoughts made her feel good.

Until another ear of corn was thrown into the fire.

Her thoughts seemed a little confused again. She wanted to focus on the corn in the fire, but she couldn't do it. The inexplicable images still wanted to invade her mind.

She pursed her lips and asked Lu Xian: "Why did Luo Ping say that in the book he gave you?"

"what?!"

This question stunned Lu Xian.

Lu Xian never expected Yao Wei to ask such a question.

But Lu Xian soon realized that his guess was correct. Yao Wei was indeed influenced by the comic book.

It’s incredible to think that this woman has grown up without any knowledge in this area.

But after thinking about it carefully, Lu Xian understood.

When Yao Wei's mother passed away, Yao Wei was probably still very young. Perhaps the deceased mother taught Yao Wei many things, but did not talk about this aspect.

Yao Wei is a Type A new human being, too powerful. Ordinary people cannot subdue her or force her to do anything.

Coupled with the long-term vigilance deeply rooted in her bones, Yao Wei would never take risks easily and fall into the hands of others, thus losing a channel to receive such knowledge.

No matter how beautiful this woman is or how good her figure is, she has never met anyone who can explain knowledge to her.

But speaking from my own perspective, is this correct?

Lu Xian turned the corn over.

In a world like this, who else could Yao Wei ask? What's wrong with speaking up herself?

"It's for reproduction... that is, to have children."

Lu Xian told Yao Wei directly, "Your father and mother gave birth to you by doing the things in that comic book."

Yao Wei was stunned for a moment. After a long while, she frowned and asked in confusion, "But I've seen women with babies before. They were so pregnant that it took a long time for them to give birth. It's different from what's written in the book."

Lu Xian: "..."

This woman asked very detailed questions.

"You have to do things like in the books to get pregnant."

He explained to Yao Wei, and then said, “Of course, you don’t just do things like that when you want to have a child.

"The instinct for reproduction is etched in our genes, so whether we are humans or other animals, we will succumb to our instinct to reproduce, but in different ways.

“Humans, on the other hand, will feel pleasure from this kind of thing, especially when doing it with someone they like, they will get great satisfaction.

“So the people in the book might also be trying to please themselves and each other.”

Yao Wei frowned slightly and asked, "But those two people in the book are so devoted, isn't that dangerous?"

Lu Xian said: "Why is the old world so dangerous? People can enjoy it to their heart's content."

"That's great." Yao Wei sighed.

Lu Xian: "..."

Although he knew that the woman was expressing her feelings about the safety of the old world, Lu Xian still felt something was wrong when he heard her say that.

"Crackling——"

Sparks danced in the fireplace. Yao Wei turned the corn in her hand over and fell silent.

After a while, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have pushed the corn too deep, and the fire was about to burn the branches stuck in the corn. She quickly adjusted it.

Then she asked, "Have you ever done anything like what's in the book?"

Lu Xian laughed: "I came all the way from the north and didn't even see many people. Who would do something like that with me?"

"Oh."

Yao Wei nodded, and for some reason, she felt a little relieved.

She was a little confused again. It should be normal for two people to please each other and feel happy. What's wrong with her? Why don't she want to hear Lu Xian pleasing others?

Is it because of the phrase "doing this kind of thing with the person you like"?

But what does that matter?

I like my mother, and I also like that little girl Chai Xin, and Lu Xian, who is so reliable and knows so much, and I like him too.

I think Lu Xian should be the same.

Then why do I feel this way?
"what happened?"

Seeing Yao Wei frowning again, Lu Xian didn't know what she was thinking, so he asked.

He was observing Yao Wei while he was talking. In just a short while, the woman had frowned several times. Why did this piece of knowledge make her so distressed?

Unable to figure out what Yao Wei was worried about, Lu Xian asked.

Yao Wei simply asked the question in her heart: "I just felt a little uncomfortable. I was wondering if you have done the things in the book with others. Because you said that doing such things with the person you like can make you feel happy.

"But isn't it normal for a person to like many people? Why do I feel uncomfortable?"

Lu Xian was stunned, then suddenly laughed.

He turned to look at Yao Wei. The woman's face was immersed in the dancing firelight. The dim warm light gently sprinkled down, illuminating her straight nose and slightly upturned eyelashes, casting a light shadow.

In the flickering firelight, the skin on Yao Wei's cheeks seemed to be coated with a layer of delicate oil paint, with a soft luster, making her slightly rising and falling breathing suddenly become inexplicably moving.

"Different."

Lu Xian said, "Men and women, mothers and daughters, and friends all have different preferences. Just like the food we eat, some are boiled, some are roasted, some are stir-fried, some are pan-fried, and some are deep-fried. The tastes vary greatly."

He didn't know how to explain to Yao Wei the difference between liking and liking, so he could only use an inappropriate analogy.

He thought for a moment and then added, "Just like us, I met you, Chai Xin, and Luo Ping along the way.

"I quite like Luo Ping, but that's just admiration for his coolness and his way of doing things.

"Chai Xin likes her too, but that's the kind of affection she has for her junior. Sometimes I even wonder if I'm treating her like a daughter.

"But for you, my friend who has been with me for a long time, my comrade who has shared life and death with me, I can share everything with you. Of course, it is different from other likes."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded, as if she understood a little.

She then asked, "What kind of likes do the people in that book have?"

Lu Xian smiled and said, "I think you'd like to have a baby together."

"Oh."

Yao Wei thought about it for a moment, shook her head, and said, "Then the love between us shouldn't be this kind of love."

"Is it?"

Lu Xian asked.

Yao Wei nodded and said with certainty: "Yes. I really don't want to have a child with you. I have things to do, and it's too dangerous."

Lu Xian laughed when he heard it and said, "The kind in the book, whether you like it or not, isn't that how you determine it?"

"How was that?"

Yao Wei questioned, "Didn't you say that it was a love that meant you wanted to have children together?"

Lu Xian said: "The human heart is very complicated. You can't figure it out rationally. This kind of love needs to be felt with the heart."

“How do I feel it with my heart?”

Yao Wei didn't understand.

"You want to give it a try?"

Lu Xian suddenly looked at Yao Wei and asked.

Yao Wei's originally cold face took on a touch of charm in the firelight, which made his heart beat faster.

He was explaining the definition of love to Yao Wei, and also to himself.

What is love? Can you figure it out?

What kind of liking do you have for Yao Wei?
Comrades? Family? Friends? Lovers?
The answer is so clear.

How could you not like this beautiful, powerful, and moving woman?
Feeling my own heartbeat getting faster, how could it be simply the love from my comrades, relatives, and friends?

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded.

Lu Xian said: "Then you look at me."

Yao Wei turned to look at Lu Xian and saw flames dancing in Lu Xian's eyes.
