“Wait a moment. I’ll go home and find the installation tools.” After Du Yue spoke, she turned around and entered her house, closing the door behind her. After she found all the tools she needed to install the iron gate in her interspace, Du Yue also found a very long rack before she opened the door. Du Yue had intended to install it herself but was rejected by He Xing. “I’m a man. How can I let a young lady like you do the work? You wait here. I’ll do it.”
He Xing’s movements were swift and neat. Du Yue could not help but wonder what he did before the apocalypse. Was he a professional at installing iron gates for others?
“By the way, I still don’t know your name. I’m He Xing. Nice to meet you.” Du Yue was slightly surprised to hear this. Did they not know each other’s names? Why did she feel that the two of them had known each other for a long time?
She looked over and saw He Xing’s sparkling eyes. Du Yue attributed everything to this man’s outgoing and passionate personality. Every time the two of them met, he would act as if he was meeting a good friend. “I’m Du Yue, named after the moon.”
“Is your nickname ‘Moon’, then?”
“No.”
“Oh, that’s a pity. The name ‘Moon’ is quite nice. By the way, how long have you been here? Do you know the structure of the base? It’s my first day here, so can you show me around if you have time?”
He Xing was in high spirits and went on and on. Du Yue stood quietly at the side, listening to him. She felt a little annoyed. She still remembered the first time they met. He Xing was sitting in a corner with a proud expression, looking as if he would not talk.
The only thing that was written on his face was ‘strangers, keep away’. Looking at him now, he was talking non-stop and giggling to himself. If it were not for the fact that his voice was rather pleasant to the ear, Du Yue really wanted to stuff his mouth.
This person still did not stop! Du Yue did not say a word, while He Xing was talking non-stop at the side. He did not feel embarrassed at all. On the other hand, Du Yue was embarrassed to keep quiet when she saw He Xing’s excited appearance. She even had to say a few perfunctory words from time to time.
In less than half an hour, He Xing had finished installing the iron gate. Du Yue heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She packed up all the tools and brought them home. Du Yue’s off-road vehicle was still parked downstairs. She wanted to drive to the parking lot. She had just gone one level down when she realized that He Xing was following behind her again.
Before Du Yue could ask, he explained with a good temper, “I also have some things to take. I’m not following you on purpose.”
“I didn’t mean it that way.” Du Yue smiled and waved her hand. Do you have a lot of things to carry up? I can help you with that.”
“Yes, I do have quite a lot. Thank you in advance!”
If it were not for He Xing, it would have been impossible for her to carry the iron gate up by herself. Moreover, he helped to install the iron door. Out of courtesy, she should help the other party.
The two of them walked out of the building. He Xing led the way to a black SUV that he had parked by the side of the road. Du Yue followed him and realized that his SUV was a seven-seater, much larger than her vehicle. He Xing reached out to open the trunk of the car, and the cartload of supplies was laid bare before Du Yue’s eyes. Du Yue looked at the supplies that filled the space in the car to the point that there was not even a small gap there. She sized He Xing up silently. If she had not offered to help just now, he probably would not have been able to finish moving all these things by himself.
Fortunately, there was strength in numbers. The two of them went up and down many times. Finally, it took two hours to move all the supplies in the car upstairs. Even though Du Yue’s physique was better than most men’s, she was so exhausted that she was out of breath after such a torturous ordeal.
The supplies had been moved into the house, filling up He Xing’s living room. The two of them stood at the entrance. There was no place for them to step on. It would probably take a long time to unpack all these resources. The moment Du Yue entered the kitchen, she saw a lot of cardboard boxes that were probably prepared by He Xing in advance.
He Xing’s off-road vehicle was equipped with a luggage rack, and the boxes must have been placed on it. After moving everything, the two of them went downstairs to the parking lot to park their cars.
It was already half past three in the morning when they returned home. The sun would be out in less than half an hour. Du Yue had been so busy that her entire body was covered in sweat. All she wanted to do was to rush back to take a cold shower and then lie down on her little bed to sleep. Hence, she rejected He Xing’s suggestion to have a meal with her without hesitation.
