I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 192 What Reward Do You Want?

192 What Reward Do You Want?
The two of them did not speak to each other and only lowered their heads to eat. After eating up all the bowls and plates on the table like a tornado, they wiped their mouths in satisfaction. There was no hurry to wash the dishes, so Du Yue put the small table into her interspace. She laid back in He Xing’s arms. “There was no bug disaster in my previous life. It’s different this time.”
He Xing looked at her and asked softly, “Are you afraid?” Du Yue was not surprised to hear this question. It was because she had asked herself the same question before. Many things had changed in this life. Once her past experience of what had happened before could no longer help her, would she be afraid?
Du Yue raised her head to look at He Xing. His eyes were clear and bright. She smiled and said, “I’m not afraid.” Even without the advantage of being able to predict the future and even if she had to face something she had never experienced before, Du Yue was not afraid. Compared to the others, she was already considered lucky. The things she had were enough to fuel her courage and let her face everything bravely.
“That’s good. It’s okay even if you’re scared. I’ll always be by your side.” Du Yue’s lips curled into a smile when she heard He Xing’s words. “Are you afraid? It’s okay if you’re scared. I’ll always be by your side.”
He Xing reached out and pinched her cheeks. “You little rascal.” Although he said that, He Xing did not hide the affection in his eyes.
When the two of them first met, Du Yue was cold and independent, exuding an aura that kept strangers away. Even after they became friends, Du Yue was still mature and steady. No matter what He Xing did for her, she would return the favor as soon as possible and not take advantage of him.
He Xing liked the independent Du Yue, but He Xing still preferred it when she was mischievous and childish at times. The two of them stayed in the bedroom. At first, it was quiet, but they did not get a good night’s sleep. The soundproofing of such brick houses was poor to begin with. When they were about to go to bed at night, the screams of their neighbors and the sound of things hitting the bugs became more obvious.
Du Yue’s quality of sleep was pretty good, and she rarely suffered from insomnia. However, now that the neighbors were making such a big fuss, she could barely fall asleep. Du Yue opened her eyes and saw that He Xing was also looking at her. “Can’t you sleep?” He Xing asked softly when he saw that she was awake. He Xing’s voice was a little low, probably because it was late at night. It sounded magnetic and a little hoarse.
Du Yue turned to the side and propped her head up with her hand. She asked him with a smile, “Why aren’t you sleeping? Is it because it’s too noisy?”
“Yes and no. I wait for you to fall asleep before going to sleep every day.” Du Yue was surprised to hear He Xing’s answer. Every day, after lying in bed, she would usually close her eyes and fall asleep without thinking about anything. She had never thought that He Xing, who was always by her side, would wait for her to fall asleep.
If it was not for the fact that it was too noisy outside today and she could not sleep, she probably would not have known about this. Du Yue had been silent all this while. He Xing suddenly approached her, and their breaths mingled. “Why aren’t you talking? Shouldn’t you give me a reward for watching you sleep every day?”
Du Yue was a little nervous. She pursed her lips. “What reward do you want?”
He Xing reached out and pulled her into his arms, his large palm caressing her waist. “Say it yourself. It depends on your sincerity.”
Du Yue smiled. “I’ll give you 30 million yuan…”
He Xing frowned. “Where did you get so much money?”
Du Yue smiled maliciously. “I’ll give you 30 million yuan. You must be happy, happy, and safe—”
He Xing could not help but burst out laughing. “I really did not expect you to know how to tell such a cold joke.”
Du Yue reached out and scratched He Xing’s palm. “What’s so funny? I’m sincerely wishing you the best.” Ever since they got together, the two of them had watched a lot of variety shows, and He Xing even knew what a cold joke was now.
However, Du Yue did not see any reaction from He Xing after scratching him for a while. Just as she was feeling puzzled, she heard He Xing’s teasing voice. “Do you think everyone’s like you, flustered at the slightest touch?”
Before Du Yue could say anything, He Xing put an arm around her shoulders and helped her lie down on the bed. “Aren’t there noise-canceling headphones in the space? Take them out. I’ll accompany you to listen to music and sleep.”
Du Yue took out her earphones and put them on for both her and He Xing. She smiled at He Xing and closed her eyes.
