Chapter 76 How Could It Be That You Dislike It Because I Drank It

“Shen Que, Shen Que.”

Seeing that the person was still unresponsive, Meng Ci licked his lips and then propped himself up, slowly moving his mouth toward Shen Que.

Since he wouldn't wake up, there was no blame on him for taking advantage of the situation.

“What are you doing!”

Just as Meng Ci's mouth was a few centimeters away from Shen Que's, he suddenly heard Shen Que's voice.

Looking over, he found that Shen Que's eyes were already open.

“Bang!”

Meng Ci was startled, his hand went limp, and his body lost its support, falling onto Shen Que.

By sheer coincidence, their mouths touched.

Meng Ci blinked, thinking that although the process had some issues, the result was still what he wanted.

He didn't lose out!

Meng Ci even considered whether to lick it.

Seeing that Meng Ci hadn't gotten up, Shen Que pushed him gently.

“You...”

Meng Ci quickly stood up, interrupting Shen Que, “Well, I just wanted to see if you fainted from hunger.”

“This, everything just now was an accident.”

Meng Ci denied it several times, making it seem like he was trying too hard to cover it up.

Shen Que didn't say anything but made a sound in his throat, then propped himself up to sit.

He neither seemed angry nor happy about what had happened, leaving Meng Ci unsure of Shen Que's true thoughts.

Shen Que noticed that several blankets were covering him, while Meng Ci, sitting beside him, had a face frozen white.

No wonder his mouth felt so cold just now.

“Here.”

Shen Que pulled two blankets off himself and handed them to Meng Ci.

Meng Ci shook his head, stubbornly saying, “You keep them. I'm fine; I don't need them.”

Then he lit the alcohol stove, “When the water heats up, you should drink your medicine again.”

“Hmm.” Shen Que nodded and stubbornly placed the blanket on Meng Ci.

Meng Ci had no choice but to wrap himself in the blanket, pouring a cup of hot water for Shen Que and adding more water to the pot to cook two packets of instant noodles for him.

From the supplies they had moved from White Tiger Hall, there were a few boxes of sausages and boiled eggs, and Meng Ci added two of each.

While Shen Que ate, Meng Ci continued to observe the outside.

He also sent out a fly surveillance device, which circled around without finding any suspicious people, finally putting his mind at ease.

Now they just needed to wait until nightfall to transport the supplies back in trips.

After finishing his meal, Shen Que took the pot outside to wash it with rainwater.

“Meng Ci, have you noticed? The rain is getting lighter,” Shen Que said, sitting back down and placing the pot aside.

Meng Ci nodded.

At first, the rain was heavy, as if someone was pouring buckets of water down.

In the past two days, the rain had been getting lighter each day, but the temperature showed no signs of rising, hovering around zero degrees.

“Does this mean the heavy rain is ending?”

Shen Que looked at the supplies on the ground, seemingly pondering whether these things were still necessary now that the heavy rain might be ending.

Meng Ci shook his head, “I’m not sure.”

“No one can predict natural disasters. Who knows if this heavy rain is ending or if it’s a warning of something bigger.”

Meng Ci also looked at the pile of supplies, “This is what we managed to get through great effort. No matter if the heavy rain ends or not, we need to take it back.”

“If you don’t want it, it’s all mine.”

“Alright.” Shen Que nodded, though it wasn’t clear which part he agreed to.

But Meng Ci didn’t mind; he would definitely share the supplies with Shen Que when they got back.

Two months of heavy rain had caught many people off guard, bringing endless suffering and sorrow.

Even those who survived the heavy rain were likely scarred both mentally and physically.

“Ha.”

Once a person relaxes, they tend to feel sleepy.

Meng Ci was no exception, leaning against the wall and yawning repeatedly.

Seeing Meng Ci with sleepy eyes, Shen Que said, "Go back to sleep for a while."

"I'm fine now; I can keep watch."

Indeed, Shen Que's muscles were not just for show. After sleeping for a few hours, his fever had subsided.

"Alright."

Meng Ci didn't fuss and took off his coat, burrowing into the blankets and falling asleep quickly.

Seeing Meng Ci curled up in the blankets, Shen Que sighed and then got up to sort through the items they had brought back from White Tiger Hall.

Occasionally, the sound of motorboats passing by could be heard, but fortunately, none of them stopped here.

There were also two military patrol boats that passed by, likely because some soldiers had been killed by Brother Hu and his men, so this time there were at least four people patrolling back and forth.

The sky soon darkened.

Shen Que waited until seven o'clock before waking Meng Ci up.

Even though he was under thick blankets, Meng Ci still had a stuffy nose when he woke up and even sneezed twice.

Shen Que mimicked Meng Ci's actions from earlier, heating a cup of water and giving him some medicine.

After taking the medicine, Meng Ci held the warm cup of water and suggested, "Why don't you take another dose to consolidate your recovery?"

Shen Que nodded, but since only one cup of water had been heated, he opened a bottle of mineral water to heat another cup.

"Here."

As soon as Meng Ci spoke, Shen Que saw a cup of water appear in front of him.

"What? Do you find me disgusting?" Seeing that Shen Que hesitated to take the cup, Meng Ci raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Forget it if you find me disgusting; I'll drink it myself." Saying this, Meng Ci pretended to pull his hand back.

"No."

Halfway through pulling his hand back, Meng Ci felt Shen Que take the cup, and then Shen Que drank the medicine in one gulp under Meng Ci's watchful gaze.

Seeing Shen Que drink the water, Meng Ci's face lit up with satisfaction.

After taking the medicine, the two started moving the supplies. This time, each of them would operate a motorboat.

Shen Que found a rope to tie the two motorboats together to prevent them from being separated by the floodwaters.

First, they loaded essential items like food and drinking water, followed by cooking equipment such as gas cylinders.

With the motorboats fully loaded, Shen Que led the way.

They paddled for a short distance before starting the motors to avoid drawing attention with the noise of the generators, which might lead to their supplies being stolen.

On the return trip, Shen Que did not go straight back but took many detours to avoid being followed.

As they approached their living quarters, they turned off the motors and continued paddling.

Meng Ci and Shen Que quickly moved the supplies to the seventeenth floor and then went back for more.

Whether going to collect supplies or returning, they always took detours to avoid being followed.

Throughout the night, they made five trips, both exhausted and panting heavily.

Shen Que boiled water, and they shared a bowl of instant noodles. After eating, they each went to their rooms to sleep.

Knowing that acid rain could provide unlimited water, the cleanliness-conscious Meng Ci entered the space and took a hot shower.

Warmly dressed, Meng Ci came out of the space, covered himself with three blankets, and placed several warming pads in his bed.

Yes, it was much warmer than sleeping outside.
