Chapter 533: Tell Me If You Feel Uncomfortable

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Like Xia Ju, He Xing was not someone who could lie flat without doing anything. Usually, he had to study some things. Setting up the workshop in advance would also make it easier for him to concentrate on his research. Du Yue was thinking about it when He Xing nodded. “Okay, let’s just make a portable house. We don’t have to tear it down when we leave. We can just put it in the space.”

The two of them thought of the same thing. In addition to He Xing’s workshop, they could also build an additional kitchen. This way, it would be more convenient for the three of them to cook. Most importantly, Du Yue did not want to stay idle. She planned to continue planting mushrooms here.

Du Yue looked at the endless wasteland in front of her and felt unprecedented satisfaction. Previously, when she was planting, she always felt that there was not enough space. Now, she could plant whatever she wanted. The boards for building the house were all ready-made, and it was not the first time they had used them. The three of them only used less than a day to build all the rooms.

Xia Ju patted the dust off her clothes and let out a long breath. “The house is settled. I’m going back to the RV to start my research. No need to call me for meals.”

Du Yue nodded. She had left enough food for Xia Ju to eat for half a month in the RV. At the very least, Xia Ju still had nutrient fluids. Forget about staying in the RV for a period of time, it would not be a problem even if she did not come out. Seeing Xia Ju return to her RV without looking back, Du Yue looked at He Xing. “What do you want to eat for dinner?”

After a busy day, Du Yue originally wanted the three of them to have a good dinner together to celebrate.

However, Xia Ju was not around, so only the two of them could celebrate. He Xing looked up at the sky. “If I remember correctly, today should be the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

Du Yue was stunned. She took out her phone and saw that it was clearly written on the screen. Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar.

Ever since the apocalypse, apart from the first two years, the two of them would celebrate together during the New Year. In the later stages, people would gradually become numb to the trivialities of life. They would often forget what year it was, let alone celebrate festivals. Before the apocalypse, the Mid-Autumn Festival was a time for family reunions. Families would sit around and eat mooncakes while admiring the moon. However, when one looked up now, one could not see any light in the pitch-black sky, let alone the moon. Only the room behind them was dimly lit.

“Since it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival, of course, we have to eat mooncakes!” Du Yue suggested. “If I remember correctly, there are materials for making lanterns in the space. Shall we make one later?” There were only the three of them on the boundless grassland. Therefore, no matter if they were putting out lanterns or cooking delicacies, they did not have to worry about being noticed by others.

After Du Yue and He Xing ate the mooncakes, they used colored paper and thin iron wires to make a lantern. The lantern was hung outside the RV. The dim yellow light enveloped their eyes, and it really did look like a moon. Du Yue and He Xing sat on the sofa and snuggled up to each other. They looked at the ‘moon’ outside the window and fell silent for a moment. After a long time, Du Yue said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a real moon. A fake moon like this looks pretty good too.”

As soon as Du Yue finished speaking, she saw He Xing’s meaningful smile. “What are you smiling at?” Du Yue was puzzled.

He Xing moved closer. The distance between the two of them was only a few centimeters. He looked into her deep eyes and swallowed silently. “You’re more beautiful than the moon.”

Du Yue could hear her heart beating faster and faster. He Xing reached out and tucked her scattered hair behind her neck. His fingertips brushed past her ears with a faint chill, but it made her face burn. “Tell me if you feel uncomfortable.” The next second, the man’s lips pressed against hers.

The next day, Du Yue woke up late. She lay in bed in a daze, her face still burning. Other than a slight ache in her body, she did not feel as uncomfortable as she had imagined. She stayed in bed for a while longer, then got up and took out the bathtub. She placed it beside her and walked in to take a hot bath. After she changed into clean clothes, the soreness and swelling in her lower body had mostly disappeared. Du Yue threw the dirty sheets into the washing machine and walked to the car door.

The windows and the car door were closed. She did not know when He Xing had left. Du Yue opened the door and walked out. The next second, she was stunned on the spot.. The thick fog had actually dissipated a little!
