Chapter 46 Stay in this Place
Chapter 46 Stay in this Place
A cute cartoon wallpaper comes into view. A computer is placed in the corner, and the pink headphones in the shape of cat ears are particularly eye-catching.
In the corner against the wall, the air conditioner was blowing out cold air continuously. The quilt on the bed was soft and warm. Ye Haimei was immersed in this comfortable atmosphere and in a trance she thought she had returned to the time before the end of the world.
"Am I dreaming?" Ye Haimei wondered in her heart.
When she regained consciousness, she felt her throat was so dry that it felt like a fire was burning.
"water?"
She looked up and was surprised to find several full bottles of mineral water neatly arranged on the computer desk.
She hurriedly got up from the bed, picked up a bottle, first put it close to her nose and sniffed it. After confirming that it was correct, she tilted her head back and drank it in big gulps.
Gulp... Gulp... As the throat moves, the cool water slides into the body, instantly refreshing the heart and spleen.
Not until she finished the whole bottle of water did the feeling of thirst completely disappear, and she clearly realized that this was not a dream.
But since the outbreak of global alienation, modern technology has long been recycled. How come there are still air conditioners and computers here?
Ye Haimei tried hard to recall that before she fell into a coma, she was almost raped by Li Tianquan, and then she met Xilingguyi and another man.
So, where exactly is this place?
Click... The crisp sound of the door opening broke her thoughts. Ye Haimei became alert instantly, subconsciously hugged her chest, and looked in the direction of the sound.
"Xilin!?" Seeing that the person coming was Xilin Guyi, her tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Aunt, you're awake!" Xilinguyi's eyes were full of surprise when he saw Ye Haimei wake up.
She pointed to the black silk nightgown at the head of the bed and said, "Aunt, put on your clothes first. I'll get you some food."
After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry.
Ye Haimei picked up the skirt and put it on, then stood in front of the mirror to look at herself. Her figure was graceful, showing off her feminine charm.
She secretly sighed in her heart that no matter what situation a woman is in, her concern for her own image never seems to change.
After a while, Xilinguyi pushed the door open with food.
A bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge, a plate of stir-fried vegetables and a plate of braised pork exude an enticing aroma.
"This is what's left over from lunch. Auntie, please eat some first. Sister Jing is preparing dinner. Come downstairs with me later." Xilinguyi said.
Ye Haimei's eyes were fixed on the food, and Xilinguyi's words seemed to be automatically blocked.
Her eyes were full of surprise and desire. It had been a long time since she had seen so much food. When she was in the vault, she had to divide a packet of instant noodles into ten portions. Now, with a table full of delicious food in front of her, how could she not be excited?
Her stomach also made a rumbling sound at the right time, the aroma of braised pork wafted into her nose, and all the dishes seemed to have a fatal attraction.
"Are these all for me?" Ye Haimei looked at Xilinguyi in disbelief.
Xilingui smiled and nodded.
Ye Haimei could no longer hold back and rushed forward like a hungry wolf.
She picked up the bowl and gulped down the porridge. Then she picked up the chopsticks and stuffed everything, whether it was vegetables or braised pork, into her mouth.
So delicious!
This is simply paradise!
Xilinguyi smiled and reminded: "Auntie, don't worry, we have plenty of food here, and there will be more sumptuous dishes in the evening, don't eat too much and get an upset stomach."
Ye Haimei didn't care about these things. She stuffed several pieces of meat into her mouth and asked with puffy cheeks, "Xilin, where is this? Is this a national aid station? How can there be so much food?"
Xilinguyi covered his mouth and chuckled: "There is no rescue station. This is Brother Xiu's shelter. Brother Xiu, do you still remember the person who saved you in the Fortune Building?"
"Oh!" Ye Haimei nodded, but she was still full of doubts in her heart, "How could he have such a good shelter?"
"I'm not sure either. The shelter was already there when I came. Aunt, you can stay here peacefully until the hundred days are over."
Ye Haimei roughly understood the situation and couldn't help but praise: "Then you, Brother Xiu, are really a good person."
"Forehead……"
When Xilinguyi heard this, his expression was slightly embarrassed.
It was really difficult for her to judge whether Ye Xiu was a good person or not.
If you say he is good, he is ruthless when killing people; if you say he is bad, as long as you obey him, you will not be persecuted.
Xilin Guyi paused and said, "Aunt, I have to tell you something."
"What's wrong?" Ye Haimei responded while eating.
Xilinguyi said slowly: "Although Brother Xiu will accept you, there is a condition. He will only support his own woman. You know what I mean..."
Ye Haimei's eating movements suddenly froze, with her chopsticks suspended in mid-air, not knowing whether to pick up the food or put it down.
She naturally understood the meaning of this.
"Is there such a condition?" she said in surprise.
Xilinguyi nodded: "Yes, after all, supplies are hard to come by, and he can't support idle people."
"Then what's the difference between him and others!" Ye Haimei muttered dissatisfiedly.
Xilinguyi hurriedly tried to persuade her: "Aunt, please don't say that. Brother Xiu is a really good person. In this environment, women like us are easily bullied wherever we go. Think about what happened yesterday. If it weren't for Brother Xiu, you would have been in trouble. It's better to have Brother Xiu's protection than for us to run around randomly."
Xilingu followed Xie Yijing's words.
Ye Haimei noticed her attitude and looked at her suspiciously. "Xilin, tell me honestly, are you..."
Xilinguyi's face flushed slightly, her hands clenched together nervously, and she nodded shyly.
"That's even worse. I'm so much older than you!" Ye Haimei widened her eyes and shook her head like a rattle.
Xilinguyi is twenty-one years old and she is thirty-five, which is more than a generation apart in age.
Although the two of them were distantly related, Ye Haimei still felt uncomfortable.
Xilinguyi said calmly: "What's wrong with being old? Being old has its own charm. Auntie, you have been single for so many years, don't you want to find someone to rely on?"
Xilinguyi tried hard to persuade Ye Haimei. She knew very well that if Ye Haimei wanted to stay, she had to get Ye Xiu's approval.
"No, no, no..."
Ye Haimei still resisted and kept shaking her head, "I can't get over the hurdle in my heart!"
Ye Haimei is an extremely realistic woman. She knows very well that if she wants to stay in this place, she must pay something. But when she thinks of this, she feels like there is a stone blocking her heart and is very uncomfortable.
She thought to herself, if the world returns to normal in the future and the people in the family know that she and Xilin are competing for a man, where will she put her face?
Xilinguyi took the initiative to sit next to Ye Haimei, took her arm, and was about to continue persuading her.
At this moment, Ye Xiu, wearing loose shorts, pushed open the door and walked in carelessly.
At home, he was dressed very casually. As the weather was hot, he simply went shirtless, and his bronze skin glowed with a healthy luster in the sun.
