I’m Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 296 Misunderstood as Having a Brother-Sister Relationship

296 Misunderstood as Having a Brother-Sister Relationship
The lights were hung by a rope, and it hung by the bedside. He Xing reached out and pulled the rope down. It was pitch-black in front of them, and they could not see anything. Du Yue had wanted to take out a small night lamp from her interspace, but she gave up on that idea when she heard He Xing’s even breathing sound as he fell asleep very quickly.
Du Yue slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep. After sleepless nights and being on the road for half a month, the two of them finally had a good night’s sleep. Therefore, even though Du Yue’s mind was clear when she woke up the next day, her body still did not want to get out of bed. After dawdling on the bed for a while, Du Yue finally got out of bed reluctantly.
Before Du Yue could get out of bed and put on her shoes, she heard He Xing’s slightly hoarse voice from behind her. “Why aren’t you sleeping a little longer?”
Du Yue took out her flashlight and found her phone on the carpet. She unlocked the screen. It clearly showed that the time was 9:58 AM. The two of them had fallen asleep before eight o’clock yesterday and had slept for a total of 14 hours.
Du Yue showed He Xing the screen of her phone. “It’s almost ten o’clock. I can’t sleep anymore.”
After the apocalypse, they had never slept for so long, except during the extremely hot periods. He Xing leaned against the headboard and stared at her phone for a while. “Is the time wrong?”
Du Yue rolled her eyes at He Xing’s outrageous statement. “Go back to sleep, then. I’m going to have breakfast. Sigh, I’ll just have a casual bite for breakfast alone. I’ll just eat a certain someone’s favorite beef dumplings.”
As soon as Du Yue finished her sentence, He Xing rolled out of bed immediately. After getting out of bed, he folded the blanket and said to Du Yue with a smile, “I’ve thought about it. I’ll become silly if I sleep too much. I’d better get up!”
Du Yue was speechless. He had to make up such a poor excuse just to eat beef dumplings. After washing up, the two of them sat beside the range hood and ate beef dumplings. The steaming hot dumplings and a bowl of tofu pudding with chives and shredded wood ear mushrooms and coriander made the two of them sweat slightly.
After eating, the two of them brushed their teeth again, and then Du Yue put the range hood, the carpet on the floor, and the bed into the interspace. “We agreed to go out with Wan Dapeng and the others today. To be on the safe side, it’s better to put these things away. They had just finished cleaning up when Wan Dapeng’s voice came from the walkie-talkie. “Hey, hey! Calling Sister and Brother!”
Du Yue was a little puzzled. It was a normal form of communication, but why was it so funny when it came out of Dapeng’s mouth?
He Xing picked up the walkie-talkie and said cheekily, “I’ve received it, Brother.”
“Sister Yu said she’s going to take a walk around the base and asked me to call you guys. Are you guys coming?”
“We’ll come along!”
“Then you guys pack up. We’ll come over to find you immediately.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you guys at home.”
“Hehe, this walkie-talkie is really good. It saves me the trouble of running around to pass on messages.”
After Wan Dapeng finished his last sentence, He Xing did not reply.
Du Yue sighed. “Before the apocalypse, smartphones became the most important thing in people’s lives. As long as we were on the same planet, we could contact each other using our mobile phones, let alone in the same courtyard. Look at this, just a normal walkie-talkie can make people so happy.” It was really a joke of fate!
He Xing put down the walkie-talkie and walked over to Du Yue. He patted her shoulder and said, “You’re so young, but you think too much. Don’t always think of sad things. Otherwise, when we’re old, people will think that we’re in a sister-brother relationship.”
Du Yue stared at He Xing’s face for a while, then said slowly, “It’s okay. It’s not a loss for me to be misunderstood as being in a sister-brother relationship with you. After all, you’re just too young.”
He Xing was about to speak again when he heard the sound of a car driving toward them. Du Yue and He Xing walked out together. As soon as they walked out of the door, they saw Wan Dapeng sitting in the front passenger seat. He lowered the window and said, “Brother, Sister, get in the car quickly. Let’s have a good tour of the base today.” The price of fuel was very high, but Wan Dapeng and Yu Xinya drove here to return the favor of riding in Du Yue’s car yesterday.
Even though they knew what they were thinking, Du Yue and He Xing pretended not to know and got into the car happily. They each carried a satchel. When they went out for a long journey, they would carry a bigger mountaineering bag, and when they went out for a stroll, they would carry a smaller bag. This had already become their habit.
