Chapter 87: Meng Ci, Give Me Your Hand

"Meng Ci?"

Seeing that Meng Ci remained silent, Shen Que called out his name in confusion.

When there was still no response, Shen Que assumed that Meng Ci was unwilling.

Shen Que lowered his head and slowly wrapped the bracelet back up.

"Sorry, it's me..."

Before he could finish saying "presumptuous," he noticed Meng Ci's hand covering his own.

"How can you take back something you've already given?"

Meng Ci had been thinking that the situation seemed off. After all, it was he who first took an interest in Shen Que, so why did Shen Que end up confessing first?

However, Meng Ci didn't mind this at all. If Shen Que confessed first, it meant he liked him too, right?

The thought of not being alone in his feelings made Meng Ci feel delighted.

Meng Ci took the bracelet and tried to put it on his wrist, but found it too small.

Afraid of damaging the jade bracelet, Meng Ci gave up on the idea.

He took the red cloth from Shen Que's hand, placed the bracelet inside, and continued wrapping it up.

He needed to find a safe place to store the bracelet.

"So, does this mean you're agreeing?" Shen Que remained kneeling on one knee, a rare smile appearing on his face.

"Hmm." Meng Ci raised his chin in a pretentious manner and nodded lightly.

But his eyes were fixed on Shen Que's lips, remembering how he had only lightly touched them back at the White Tiger Hall.

Now that they were together, why wasn't this guy coming to kiss him?

Could Shen Que be inexperienced?

Meng Ci cleared his throat and, as Shen Que was about to stand up, pulled him closer by his collar.

Their faces were so close that they could feel each other's breath.

Meng Ci wondered why, despite his obvious initiative, Shen Que still didn't know to kiss him.

It seemed he would have to make the first move.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Que didn't understand what was going on and allowed Meng Ci to pull his collar, adjusting his position from kneeling on one knee to both knees.

"Hmm!"

Meng Ci pulled Shen Que even closer, and their lips met.

Although Meng Ci was bold, he was a novice in love. Even though he was twenty-four before transmigrating, he had never been in a relationship.

So, after a brief touch, he was about to pull away.

Unexpectedly, Shen Que grabbed his clothes and held him for a two-minute passionate kiss.

Only when Meng Ci was panting for breath did Shen Que let go.

Shen Que knelt in front of Meng Ci, his eyes bloodshot.

Meng Ci felt his breathing become labored, while Shen Que's remained steady.

Meng Ci couldn't help but wonder if Shen Que had been in a relationship before, as the kiss was surprisingly skillful.

"Are you going to get up now?" Meng Ci leaned back and asked Shen Que.

Forget it; if he had been in a relationship before, he'd deal with it later.

Shen Que obediently stood up and sat next to Meng Ci.

"Meng Ci, I have something to tell you," Shen Que suddenly said.

"Okay, go ahead." Seeing Shen Que sit up straight, Meng Ci also became serious.

"Whether you believe it or not, please trust me."

"I am actually a reincarnated person."

Shen Que's words shocked Meng Ci, making his eyes widen.

What did it mean to be a reincarnated person? Did it mean Shen Que had experienced the apocalypse once before?

Was his confession because he suspected something about Meng Ci?

Perhaps he guessed that Meng Ci had a space and wanted to lower his guard.

Seeing Meng Ci's reaction, Shen Que thought he was shocked.

"Don't blame yourself for reacting this way. When I first realized I was reincarnated, I was also shocked."

Meng Ci nodded, "Indeed, it is quite shocking."

He never expected that a simple novel would not only bring him, a transmigrator, but also add a reincarnated person.

Shen Que then began to recount the events of his past life.

In his previous life, during a torrential downpour, Shen Que was still at the boxing gym where he worked.

Fortunately, the boxing gym had a resting area, so Shen Que stayed there with a few coaches that night.

The next day, seeing that the rain had not stopped, the coaches, worried about their families, left the gym one after another, taking risks.

Shen Que's parents had died in a car accident when he was young, and his grandmother passed away before he turned eighteen, so he did not risk going home.

The boxing gym was located in the city center, surrounded by many shopping malls.

To survive, Shen Que relied on multiple trips for "free shopping," barely making it through the storm.

When the floodwaters receded and the heat arrived, Shen Que repaired an off-road vehicle, loaded it with some of the supplies he had stockpiled, and started searching for a place to escape the heat.

By chance, he learned that the government was recruiting security personnel. With his military experience and exceptional skills, Shen Que successfully joined and began serving the government.

Shen Que managed to survive until the zombie outbreak but was pushed into a horde of zombies by a companion while fighting them outside due to their overwhelming numbers.

However, when Shen Que woke up, he found himself reborn, and it was over a month before the apocalypse began.

Shen Que still remembered the excruciating pain of being torn apart by zombies.

Fortunately, the severance pay he received after leaving the military remained untouched, along with the compensation from his parents' car accident. After his rebirth, he began preparing for the impending apocalypse.

Recalling that someone once mentioned Jin Shang Jia Yuan had no major issues, Shen Que rented this apartment and started purchasing large quantities of supplies.

"Meng Ci, give me your hand!" Shen Que said solemnly.

"What's wrong?" Meng Ci asked, though he still extended his hand.

Then, Meng Ci made a startling discovery.

"This is my space."

Before the zombies arrived in his previous life, some of the surviving humans began running high fevers!

After waking up, these people either became psychics or zombies.

Shen Que, however, became a rare individual with dual abilities: a storage space and fire manipulation.

In this rebirth, although his fire manipulation ability disappeared, the storage space unexpectedly remained.

Since Shen Que allowed him to see it, Meng Ci didn't hesitate to explore the space.

The space was only about a hundred square meters but was filled to the brim with mountains of flour and rice bags.

As for vegetables, there were only common ones like cabbage, potatoes, and carrots—foods that could be easily stored.

In one corner, there were also piles of pork and mutton, mostly whole pigs cut in half and roughly stacked.

On the other side, there were mountains of instant foods, including instant noodles, liuzhou luosifen, sausages, salted duck eggs, and more.

Moreover, the brand of sausages looked particularly familiar, as if seen before.

"Was it you who put the things from White Tiger Hall here?" Meng Ci asked.

Shen Que didn't hide it and nodded.

"Yes."

At the time, while apprehending people, Shen Que inadvertently entered the place where Brother Hu and his men stored food, and he took some items out.
