Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

He couldn't help but smile: "I thought you were eager for me to move out!"

After the initial panic, Zhou Shuwan calmed down. He coughed lightly and looked out the window. "It wasn't me who decided to let you move out. It was the rain that decided that."

Qi Mingyu's mouth curled up.

Zhou Shuwan went over and snatched the drawing paper from Qi Mingyu's hand: "I'm just looking for a suitable place to move to. If we move, my second uncle and third aunt's families must move with us!"

Qi Mingyu didn't get angry either. He just looked up at her and said, "What about me and grandma? You don't care anymore?"

Zhou Shuwan's eyes widened. "You are all adults, you have your own hands and feet. Why, why do you still need me... to take care of you..."

Under the other person's gentle and smiling gaze, her voice gradually lowered.

The temperature in the room seemed to rise a little, and Zhou Shuwan only felt his cheeks getting hot.

Moreover, Qi Mingyu had long arms and legs, and when he sat in this bedroom, it seemed as if he filled up the entire space, making the bedroom feel small and stuffy.

Zhou Shuwan felt uncomfortable all over, turned around and went to the window and looked out.

Qi Mingyu smiled and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore! Tell me, what's wrong with your sleep?"

Zhou Shuwan gave him a displeased look.

"Tell me, maybe I can help you."

Qi Mingyu said, "You forgot, I'm a special forces soldier. I need to accept missions at any time, so how to ensure adequate sleep in the shortest possible time is a compulsory course for us."

Zhou Shuwan's eyes lit up: "What method?"

Qi Mingyu lowered his eyes, as if pondering something. After a long while, he looked up at Zhou Shuwan: "Then you have to tell me first, why can't you sleep?"

He came to test again.

But this time, Zhou Shuwan was fully prepared. He spoke calmly, "This isn't the end of the world. There are crises everywhere. My parents are old, and Mumu is so young. I feel like I'm the pillar of the family, so I worry all day long. And you saw that video online. Besides floods and tsunamis, there are so many natural disasters... Naturally, I can't sleep well!"

Qi Mingyu looked at her seriously and said, "You've done a great job! You've done a great job being the pillar of the family! So, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. You have enough courage and strength to lead your parents and Mu Mu to live a good life together in the apocalypse."

This was the first time he praised her so directly.

Zhou Shuwan felt the air was a little hot again.

"Come, lie down." He pointed to the bed next to him.

Zhou Shuwan widened his eyes.

"What's going on in that little head of yours all day? Lie down and I'll teach you how to fall asleep quickly."

Zhou Shuwan coughed lightly, took off his slippers and lay on his back on the bed.

"Empty your mind, keep your body straight, let your arms hang naturally at your sides, and don't think about anything. Follow me, inhale, exhale, and then..."

Zhou Shuwan was originally lying on the bed looking at the other person, feeling uncomfortable all over, but she didn't expect that the other person had the potential to be a teacher.

The voice is steady and gentle, full of magnetism, making people want to follow along.

Gradually, Zhou Shuwan felt his eyes getting heavier and his body getting lighter, and slowly he became unconscious.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I heard a soft voice calling: "Wanwan, Wanwan?"

Zhou Shuwan suddenly woke up from his sleep, and one hand habitually reached for the dagger under the pillow. He opened his eyes and looked at the person sitting beside the bed with vigilance and caution.

When she saw that it was Qi Mingyu, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and said in a hoarse voice, "What time is it?"

"You slept for twenty minutes. How did you feel?"

Zhou Shuwan didn't even need to feel it to feel that he was in a particularly good state, as if he had had a good sleep, without nightmares or uneasiness.

She hadn't felt this way in a long time.

She couldn't help but let out a relaxed smile: "Although I only slept for twenty minutes, it felt like I slept for a whole afternoon."

"That means this method is useful to you." Qi Mingyu thought for a moment and said, "It might be difficult for you to master this method at first. If you don't mind, I'll come over tonight and you can practice with me. How about that?"

It's never convenient to enter a girl's bedroom late at night.

Therefore, Qi Mingyu's question was very polite.

Zhou Shuwan always went out in the middle of the night to look for supplies, and would come back at four or five in the morning, exhausted, and would throw himself on the bed to sleep.

But I am always woken up by nightmares and my sleep efficiency is very low.

But Qi Mingyu's method is really effective.

She was silent for a while, then simply nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help for a few days."

"We're one family, you're welcome."

"By the way, how did you get in?" Zhou Shuwan asked.

Qi Mingyu smiled and said, "I said I came to see you for something, but my aunt was busy in the kitchen, so she let me in to see you."

Zhou Shuwan rolled his eyes in his heart at his unreliable mother.

She replied dryly, "Oh! What's the matter?"

"Nothing, I came here to tell you that if it stops raining, grandma and I won't move."

"Well, that's great." Zhou Shuwan was very careful with her tone, trying to sound neither overly happy nor enthusiastic. "In the future, we can both look for supplies together."

"Yeah!" Qi Mingyu looked at her deeply.

Zhou Shuwan didn't know how to respond and lowered his head.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Qi Mingyu sighed inwardly, but stood up with a smile on his face: "Then I'll go back first. Don't draw the route anymore, we won't move."

"Ah."

Qi Mingyu stood there, as if he had something to say, but in the end he just turned around and left politely.

Zhou Shuwan lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling above his head. It took him a long time to get up and go out.

Zhong Tiyun had just enthusiastically escorted Qi Mingyu out, and when she saw her come out, she glared at her: "Wanwan, your little brother Yu came to see you, why didn't you send him out? How rude!"

Zhou Shuwan whispered, "Didn't you send it out? You don't need me to send it off."

"Why not! You!" Zhong Tiyun came over, tapped her forehead, and sighed softly: "When will you grow up!"

Her mother was secretly trying to match her up with Qi Mingyu.

This is something Zhou Shuwan only discovered recently.

She didn't know why her mother inexplicably fell in love with Qi Mingyu, but in her previous life, she had been in love and loved someone so deeply, but she was not treated well and met a scumbag, and she suffered a big setback because of it.

Traveling north, I witnessed too much darkness.

Although she doesn't hate men, she keeps her distance from most of them.

She had already made up her mind about her life: she would live with her parents and Mumu and never get married!

Therefore, she was attracted to Qi Mingyu, admired him, and respected him, but she felt that a relationship as close as neighbors would be enough, and there was no need to go any further.

But my mother doesn't seem to think so and has always been keen on letting the two of them interact.
