I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 138 Like a Hothead

138 Like a Hothead

He Xing took a sip of the mushroom soup and was instantly won over by its taste. “Oh my G.o.d, this is too delicious. What have I been eating for the past 30 years?! Your cooking skills are so good. Teach me more in the future and I’ll cook for you.”

Du Yue took small bites of her spaghetti and smiled at him. “I didn’t make these. I bought them from a Western restaurant before the apocalypse.” Du Yue glanced at He Xing with a half-smile. Initially, she thought that He Xing’s attempt at bootlicking would be a little awkward. However, she did not expect He Xing to not feel embarra.s.sed at all. Instead, he praised her, “I didn’t expect you to have such a grand taste. The food you bought is so delicious.”

Du Yue was speechless. He Xing was quite good at flattering people. In the cities before the apocalypse, there was a small restaurant every five steps and a big hotel every hundred steps. She did not just buy it from any store. The food she bought was all food that she had tried before. She only bought more and stored them in her inters.p.a.ce because she felt that the food tasted good.

Both of them had good appet.i.tes. They finished the steak and pasta, and even the mushroom soup was devoured. After dinner, He Xing was about to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes when Du Yue stopped him. “Let me do it. Your hand is already injured, yet you’re still thinking of washing the dishes?”

He had promised not to let his hand come into contact with water, but he had forgotten about it so quickly.

He Xing was afraid that she would be angry, but he did not want her to work. An idea struck him. He walked to the shelf and took a pair of silicone gloves meant for washing the dishes. “You won’t have to worry about my hand getting wet with these gloves.” He Xing put on the pair of gloves and quickly cleaned up the table, afraid that Du Yue would fight with him for the job. “It’s just a small wound. It’s not a big deal. Don’t worry, my body is very healthy. This wound will be completely healed in less than three days.”

Seeing that He Xing was insistent, Du Yue did not stop him. He Xing worked quickly and nimbly. Soon, the dishes were washed clean and placed back on the table.

“Put them in the s.p.a.ce and take them out when you need them!” Du Yue did not hesitate at all. She immediately put away the bowls and chopsticks.

The two of them sat facing each other, their eyes locked. For a moment, they did not know what to talk about. Although neither of them spoke and they were just looking at each other, they did not feel bored. Du Yue’s gaze was fixed on He Xing’s face, and it slowly moved up to his hair. “Did you dye your hair this color, or did it always look like this? ”

“It’s not dyed, but it wasn’t originally like this either. The people in the galaxy have all kinds of hair colors, and they can all be changed. What color do you like? I’ll change it for you.”

“It’s okay, this color is nice enough. It suits you.” He Xing’s exquisite appearance, coupled with his cold silver hair, made him look very n.o.ble.

He Xing looked at Du Yue’s hair and could not help but praise, “Your hair color also suits you very well. You’re very beautiful.”

Du Yue touched her black hair and could not help but laugh. She had the most ordinary hair color. Almost everyone in the base had this hair color. She did not know if he was just trying to make her happy or if he really thought it looked good. No matter what the reason was, Du Yue was happy. She was a girl, and it was something to be happy about when her partner praised her.

After laughing, Du Yue suddenly thought of something. “Why didn’t you get rid of those two people from before? Why did you let them go so easily?”

“I just feel that even if I let them go, Dong Siming wouldn’t have. Of course, if Dong Siming lets them go, I’ll be sure to go back and deal with them.”

Before Du Yue asked, she already had a faint guess in her heart. Now that she heard He Xing’s answer, it was indeed as she had thought. “I like to solve things by myself. It’s more secure.” Du Yue said, “Next time, don’t leave in such a hurry.”

He Xing nodded. “Alright, I’ll listen to you from now on!”

Now that he thought about it, He Xing felt like he had been a hothead. After Du Yue said those words, his heart was hooked away and he was no longer interested in those two people. At that time, he only wanted to come back and confess to Du Yue as soon as possible. Nothing else was important.

However, it was precisely because he was facing the person he liked that He Xing could show his childish and impulsive side.

Du Yue took out her pocket watch and looked at the time. “It’s past three. I want to go home and take an afternoon nap. You should rest too.”

He Xing nodded and said, “Alright, I’m a little tired too. Are you free tonight? I want to eat with you!”
