Rebirth after the apocalypse: I create a new world with space!

Shi Xinxin sat next to Li Luo. She reached out and touched Li Luo's arm, her tone full of genuine concern, without a trace of polite praise:

"Lolo, are you alright after shielding the child from that attack? Did it take a lot of mental energy?"

Chu Yuanqing didn't say much, but casually picked up a piece of dried fruit that Shi Xinxin liked and added a spoonful of meat sauce to Li Luo's bowl. Their actions were full of tacit understanding.

Li Luo gently shook her head at Shi Xinxin, then raised her glass to look at everyone, her tone calm:

"It's all part of my job, and I'm so grateful for everyone's cooperation." Although she looked calm, she could feel the genuine admiration and respect in everyone's eyes, and a warm feeling swept through her heart.

After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere in the canteen became increasingly harmonious. The team members chatted in twos and threes about the operation they had just completed, with occasional bursts of hearty laughter.

Lu Jingcheng sat down next to Li Luo, his gaze secretly sweeping over the noisy team members around him. When no one was looking, he used a clean fork to pick up a small piece of cream cake and gently placed it into Li Luo's bowl.

This was made with great care by the logistics team. There were only a few pieces. The soft dough was wrapped in lightly fruity cream, making it a treasure in the post-apocalyptic world where resources were scarce.

He knew that Li Luo's space contained many delicacies, a hundred times more exquisite than this little cake, but he still wanted to secretly leave the best he could get for her.

A faint blush rose to his ears, his fingertips tightened slightly, and his tone betrayed his worry and seriousness. He lowered his voice, making sure only the two of them could hear:

"Lolo, I took some time to visit my parents and grandparents before. It's been more than a year since I last saw them. Fortunately, we kept in touch while we were at the Jinling base and didn't lose touch."

He paused, a gentle smile spreading across his eyes, and added:

“I’ve introduced you to them properly and explained our relationship in detail. They want to formally invite you over for a casual meal so they can thank you in person and get to know you better.”

Li Luo's hand holding the fork paused slightly, a faint hesitation flashing in her eyes. Her expression remained calm, but her fingertips stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment.

Having survived the battles of the apocalypse, she was decisive and ruthless, never fearing any life-or-death crisis. But meeting her boyfriend's parents was a first for her.

A strange sense of panic welled up inside me, and my heart skipped a beat.

This unfamiliar flutter of excitement left her somewhat at a loss, but she managed to suppress this emotion perfectly, so that no one else could tell.

As her feelings for Lu Jingcheng deepened, and they had entrusted each other with their trust and support, visiting his parents and grandparents was ultimately a sign that their relationship was taking a step further, and she could not afford to be hasty.

She suppressed the unfamiliar panic in her heart, and then thought about it. Lu Jingcheng's feelings were sincere and heartfelt, and his family's invitation was also a genuine endorsement.

She is always pure towards the people she cares about, never mixing in any calculations or considerations. This meeting was a natural progression of their feelings for each other, so she simply accepted the invitation without hesitation.

In a moment, she suppressed the panic in her heart, and her eyes regained their clarity.

She has always been confident that she can handle relationships well, even with unfamiliar families, let alone Lu Jingcheng's family, who are probably just as insightful as he is.

Li Luo nodded gently, her tone softening as she uttered that special nickname:

"Okay, Cheng, set a time and we'll go."

Lu Jingcheng's eyes lit up instantly, his cheeks flushed slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. Even his eyes were so soft they could drip water.
