Du Jiujiu had nothing to do, so she thought she might as well cook some porridge to eat. She didn't have breakfast this morning. She had spent a lot of energy on the way and was already feeling a little hungry.

She took out a lighter from her backpack, started the fire with dry twigs, and rekindled the bonfire.

Then she took out some rice she had just brought back from the rice bag, washed it with water, put it into the pot, added water, and put the pot on the bonfire.

Lin Haochen also changed his clothes at the side and happily ran all the way to Du Jiujiu.

"Sister, how are you? Do I look good in my dress?" He stretched out his arms, turned around in a circle, and looked at her with a smile, with a bit of expectation in his eyes.

"Well, he looks good! Xiaochen will definitely be a handsome boy when he grows up!" Du Jiujiu gave him a thumbs up and nodded with a smile.

After putting on new clothes, Lin Haochen became clean and tidy.

The suit Du Jiujiu gave him was navy blue and orange and was of exquisite workmanship. When worn on Lin Haochen, it added a bit of youthful vitality to him.

Compared with the first time he met Du Jiujiu, he was completely different.

At that time, his whole body was dirty, his clothes were very shabby, his little face was stained with color due to long-term malnutrition, and even the way he looked at other people was full of vigilance.

After Lin Haochen was brought back by Du Jiujiu, he ate dried meat containing energy for several days. His face, which was originally thin and somewhat sunken, had become slightly fatter and became rosy.

Several people in the base were very kind to him, and even Su Xiaohan and the others treated the little boy like a younger brother.

In such an environment, Lin Haochen's heart that had been frozen since childhood began to slowly melt, and his eyes gradually became more innocent at his age.

"Sister, it smells so good." The water in the pot began to bubble. Lin Haochen squatted beside the pot, watching the rolling rice grains in the pot, and swallowed quietly.

"Little greedy cat, when the porridge is ready, sister will serve you a big bowl." Du Jiujiu stirred the rice in the pot with a long-handled spoon and rubbed Lin Haochen's soft hair with a smile.

The rice soup in the pot is rolling, with a rich aroma spreading in the air.

Lin Haochen's face looked slightly red under the reflection of the bonfire. He lowered his head slightly and wiped away the mist rising in his eyes without leaving a trace.

A thought was like the curling smoke, lingering in his heart and unable to go away for a long time.

"Sister, I really hope I can always be by your side..."

Du Jiujiu didn't notice anything strange about the boy, but carefully controlled the heat of the porridge.

Cooking with such a primitive method is many times more difficult than using a rice cooker. The last time we were in the cafeteria, a few of them girls with little experience wanted to show off their cooking skills, but instead they set the kitchen on fire.

She still remembers it vividly.

Du Jiujiu did not dare to take it lightly, sometimes filling some fuel into the campfire, sometimes picking up a spoon and stirring it, paying full attention to the situation in the pot.

Watching the snow-white rice grains rising and falling in the boiling water, her tired nerves gradually soothed.

Once upon a time, she was a carefree college student, and the only thing that bothered her most was the exams every semester.

At that time, she could never have imagined that one day in the near future, she would have to live a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife. Even if she wanted to eat a normal meal, she would have to exhaust all her energy.

However, fortunately, she has awakened her powers and has some means to protect herself in the apocalypse. Not only that, she also has these reliable companions around her. They are her weaknesses and also her strong backing. When she is confused,

When they are helpless, they always give themselves strength.

Everything is moving in a better direction, and after adapting to these crises, the end of the world seems to become less scary.

We will get better and better...

Just as Du Jiujiu was thinking, a rapid cough suddenly came from behind, breaking the rare silence.

Du Jiujiu's hand suddenly paused, then he quickly put down the spoon in his hand, stood up, and hurriedly walked to Luo Yucheng's bed in a few steps.

Luo Yucheng seemed to have just woken up from a coma. He supported his body with both hands and tried to sit up.

However, the violent cough affected his wound, and the white gauze on his chest had been stained with bright red.

"How are you?!" Seeing this, Du Jiujiu hurriedly supported him, picked up the water glass by the bed with one hand, and handed it to his mouth.

Luo Yucheng did not drink water, but raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

When he saw Du Jiujiu's face, for a moment, a look of astonishment appeared on Luo Yucheng's face, which was slightly distorted by pain.

He remembered that when he was in desperate situation that night, a girl saved him. Although her voice was nice, her face was full of scars.

Although the girl in front of her now had the same facial features, her appearance was very delicate, and there was no trace of her embarrassment that night.

Seeing him looking at her blankly, Du Jiujiu couldn't help but frowned, and shouted to Lin Haochen who was still in a daze beside him: "Go and call An Cheng, he doesn't seem to be in a good mental state."

Lin Haochen nodded, turned around and ran towards where An Cheng was resting.

Seeing this, Luo Yucheng suddenly realized that his current behavior seemed a bit reckless, and he hurriedly looked away.

But soon, he noticed the name in Du Jiujiu's mouth.

"An Cheng? Are you talking about An Cheng?!"

Luo Yucheng sat upright suddenly, and the blood stains on his chest also spread outward due to the bursting of the wound.

Before Du Jiujiu could answer, An Cheng had already hurried over.

"Brother, are you awake!?" Her voice was trembling, and there was unconcealable joy in her eyes.

"An Cheng!? You...why are you here?" Luo Yucheng's expression was also very surprised. He had no brothers or sisters in his family. The closest thing he had since childhood was this little cousin. Now that he saw that she was still alive and appeared in front of him, he was extremely surprised.

A stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

"You were injured and fell unconscious that day. Sister Jiujiu and Xiaoyun brought you back here. This is the subway station in front of the school. After leaving the school, we used it as our base and have been living here." An Cheng

He took the still weak Luo Yucheng from Du Jiujiu and helped him slowly lean against the bed.
