The child seemed to have noticed Du Yue’s gaze, so she also looked at Du Yue. Her eyes were so clear that they could make one’s heart soften. Seeing Du Yue staring at the child, Xia Zhixing smiled. “Isn’t she cute?”
Du Yue nodded and said honestly, “She’s indeed very cute.”
It was precisely because children were too innocent and cute that Du Yue felt that they should not be brought into this world at this time.
If they had a choice, they certainly would not want to be born in a dark underground world where they could never see the sun, would they? Du Yue could not bear it, but the baby in Xia Zhixing’s arms suddenly gave her a sweet smile. The fourth-month-old child had yet to grow teeth, but when she smiled, one could not help but feel happy. Seeing her smile, Du Yue’s gaze softened.
Xia Zhixing walked a few steps closer and asked in a low voice while playing with the child in her arms, “It wasn’t easy to get such an opportunity. Why didn’t you leave this place?”
Du Yue looked at her indifferently. “Thank you for your kindness, but we have other plans.”
Xia Zhixing smiled after hearing this. “That’s good. 1 thought you were in trouble, so I came to ask if there was anything 1 could help you with. Since there’s nothing else, 1 won’t disturb you anymore. You guys can go back and rest.”
With that, she turned around and left with the child in her arms.
Du Yue looked at her leaving back and hesitated, but she still called out to her, “Your child… is very cute. Take good care of her.”
Natural and man-made disasters, as well as unexpected accidents, were increasing. Du Yue reminded her because she could not bear to watch the child suffer. Xia Zhixing naturally understood what she meant. She nodded her head and agreed seriously, then turned around and left.
Du Yue and the other two did not waste any more time and strode toward their home. The first thing they did after returning home was to check the rooms. After confirming that there were no problems, Du Yue placed a bathtub filled with water in each room. They had been tortured for so long and were drenched in sweat. It was better to take a good bath to feel comfortable again.
Half an hour later, the three of them had changed into clean clothes and returned to the living room. The living room was furnished with a simple sofa and table, and the table was filled with delicious food.
Xia Ju leaned lazily on the sofa and could not help but sigh. “No place is better than my own home!” After saying this, she waited for a long time without receiving a response from Du Yue and He Xing. She subconsciously looked to the side and saw that the two of them were engrossed in their food and had no time to pay attention to her.
Seeing this, she did not have the time to sigh. She quickly picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised pork to stuff into her mouth. “You two are too disloyal! You didn’t even tell me you had started eating!”
Du Yue could not help but laugh. “The food is right in front of you, yet you’re blaming us for not telling you?”
Xia Ju snorted at her and did not argue with her anymore. The past few days, the three of them only ate some compressed biscuits. This was because they were out doing a test drive for the base, so the base gave them some compressed biscuits. There were two to three flavors.
For those working in the base, they would not even get to eat compressed biscuits. They could only eat steamed buns and cornbread made from various grains. They were hard and tasted like wax. Although compressed biscuits could satiate one’s hunger, the taste and texture could not be compared to normal food. Now that they were finally able to eat a delicious meal, the three of them felt unprecedented satisfaction.
Her stomach was not as empty as before, so Du Yue’s eating speed naturally slowed down.
She thought of the baby with clear eyes in Xia Zhixing’s arms and could not help but remember that she still had a lot of milk powder in her space. When she bought the milk powder, it was just a precaution. She did not expect that after the apocalypse, the milk powder still had not come in handy. She could not finish the rest of the food that she had stocked up, so she naturally did not need the milk powder. It would be a waste to keep the milk powder in the space. If she could bring it out…
Du Yue quickly denied this idea. If it was at the beginning of the apocalypse, she could have brought out the milk powder openly. However, it had already been several years, and the cans of milk powder were very space-consuming. How could a normal person carry them with them? If she gave them to Xia Zhixing, she would be telling others that she had a secret. She would be clearly sending herself into the fire pit by doing that. At the thought of this, Du Yue could only harden her heart..
