Chapter 326 The Dark Captain's Little Rose
Chapter 326 The Dark Captain's Little Rose
When Xiao Xuxing came back with two plates, he saw Bai Chao with his hands clasped in front of his chest, his head lowered, muttering something.
"..." Xiao Xuxing coughed lightly, and Bai Chao immediately put down his hands and stared at the table silently, as if he had just done nothing.
Xiao Xuxing put the plate down, lowered his eyes to glance at Bai Chao, and said nothing.
It's okay, take your time...
It's better than having to kneel down at every turn before.
"These are vegetables they grow themselves. Try them. They taste good." Xiao Xuxing handed the chopsticks to Bai Chao.
Bai Chao looked at the dishes on the plate. The dishes were simple, but extremely precious in the end times.
He took a tentative bite, then another.
Xiao Xuxing was sitting opposite and watching Bai Chao eat. His elbows were resting on the table, his chin was supported by his hands, and he was staring at him.
Bai Chao put down his chopsticks and glared at Xiao Xuxing.
Xiao Xuxing couldn't help laughing out loud and reached out to wipe the corner of Bai Chao's mouth that was stained with rice grains.
How come this person looks so cute while eating?
Bai Chao was stunned for a moment, then immediately stepped back a long way, wishing he could stay half a meter away from the man.
Xiao Xuxing asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"
"..." Bai Chao gritted his teeth, his voice as soft as a mosquito.
"Why are you always like this... There are so many people here..."
Xiao Xuxing said, "What is our relationship?"
"…I have nothing to do with you."
Xiao Xuxing nodded.
"Well, then just be frank. Why are you hiding things? What is there to be afraid of?"
"..." Bai Chao was so upset that he didn't say anything.
Xiao Xuxing glanced at the plate in front of Bai Chao, which was still half eaten.
"Do you still want to eat?"
"..."
Bai Chao ignored everyone.
As a result, Xiao Xuxing poured the food from Bai Chao's plate into his own plate.
Bai Chao was stunned: "...What are you doing?"
"Hmm? Aren't you full?"
“I’m full…”
Xiao Xuxing picked up the half-eaten dish that Bai Chao had eaten: "Then we can't waste the remaining little bit."
"But...but that was me..." Bai Chao stared at Xiao Xuxing's chopsticks, "I ate it..."
Xiao Xuxing threw the dish into his mouth: "I know, but I always feel that the one you have eaten is more delicious."
"You...you..." Bai Chao was speechless.
Xiao Xuxing laughed out loud: "Don't worry, I don't mind."
Bai Chao said sullenly: "I despise..."
Xiao Xuxing ate his food slowly: "Really? But didn't you just eat mine that night..."
Bai Chao stood up immediately and said, "Shut up and eat your leftovers."
Watching Bai Chao's back as he left angrily, Xiao Xuxing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He finished the food on the plates in a few bites, threw the two plates into the recycling area, and walked out quickly.
Bai Chao did not walk far, but stood opposite the cafeteria waiting for Xiao Xuxing.
Xiao Xu's pace gradually slowed down.
The thin figure opposite stood quietly in the sun, his skin almost transparent under the sunlight.
"Qingzhi..."
Bai Chao was standing there calmly and coldly, as if all the noise around him had nothing to do with him. But at this moment he was looking at him quietly, his eyes as clear as a spring.
Dong…Dongdong…
Xiao Xuxing felt as if his heartbeat had lost its rhythm.
[Ding——Task progress: 30%.]
"..."
Xiao Xuxing couldn't help but step forward and try to grab Bai Chao's wrist, when suddenly a voice came from the side.
"Captain Xiao?"
"..." Xiao Xuxing turned his head and frowned, "You Xinyu?"
You Xinyu smiled awkwardly: "Hey, it's me, it's me..."
You Xinyu was also smiling bitterly in her heart. She didn't know why Xiaoyao had insisted in an anxious tone that she come over to see Xiao Xuxing. She thought something had happened to Captain Xiao, but it turned out that he had just come out of the cafeteria.
"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Xiao Xuxing took a step to the side, just blocking Bai Chao's body.
"No...ah! Yes, something..."
You Xinyu rolled her eyes and said, "Captain Xiao, can we expand our planting area a little bit?"
"Planting area? There are only a few kinds of vegetables that can be grown. Even if we expand it, we can't grow much..." Xiao Xuxing glanced at You Xinyu, "Can you increase the production?"
You Xinyu chuckled twice: "Well, let's keep this secret for now... Hey? Who is this..."
You Xinyu was stunned: "Holy Son?"
Xiao Xuxing looked back and saw Bai Chao walking out from behind him.
"..." Xiao Xuxing narrowed his eyes and pulled the man to his side, "His name is Li Qingzhi, don't always call him Holy Son."
"oh oh……"
You Xinyu scratched her head. She had only seen this Holy Son once before. At that time, the Holy Son was carried on Xiao Xuxing's shoulders. She didn't take a few glances before the Holy Son's head was covered.
Now she can remember him as soon as she sees him, because the Holy Son is really good-looking and fits her aesthetics very well~haha~
You Xinyu smiled and stretched out her hand: "Hello, my name is You Xinyu."
"..." Bai Chao also stretched out his hand, "Hello..."
Xiao Xuxing's eyes widened, and he pulled the man's hand back: "Why are you shaking hands? Are you a germaphobe this time?"
Bai Chao: “…”
But You Xinyu didn't mind this little episode at all. She took back her hand and said familiarly, "Brother Li, you look familiar to me the moment I saw you. Have we met somewhere before?"
As You Xinyu was talking, she was about to move forward, but was blocked by Xiao Xuxing.
Xiao Xuxing frowned and said, "Be careful with your distance when you speak."
You Xinyu couldn't understand: "Captain Xiao, why are you always blocking me? Although Brother Li is the Holy Son of Anleyuan, he can't be so shameful, right?"
Xiao Xuxing took a deep breath: "...Who told you to call him that?"
You Xinyu looked at Xiao Xuxing with eyes full of unreasonableness and trouble: "Oh, I understand."
You Xinyu turned a corner.
"Brother Qingzhi~"
"You Xinyu!"
"Xiao Xuxing."
"..."
Xiao Xuxing sighed and walked aside with his arms folded.
Bai Chao retracted his gaze and looked at You Xinyu: "Ms. You."
You Xinyu smiled and said, "Brother Qingzhi, I heard everything. Have you really joined our shelter? Can we meet more often in the future?"
Xiao Xu said unhappily beside him: "Really, I can't."
You Xinyu: "..."
Bai Chao: “…”
Bai Chao said coldly: "No, he is just imagining things."
"Puchi." You Xinyu covered her mouth and pretended that she didn't laugh out loud.
"..." Xiao Xuxing pinched his eyebrows.
"That's what I was saying. It's only been a few days. How come Captain Xiao was able to subdue the Son of Peace Paradise so quickly? But..."
You Xinyu's eyes moved between Bai Chao and Xiao Xuxing.
“But it feels fast.”
Bai Chao frowned: "What?"
"Ahem, Brother Qingzhi, have we really never met before? I always feel that..."
Xiao Xuxing came over and interrupted You Xinyu: "If you have nothing else to do, go back and do your own thing. You can apply for the expansion of the area yourself, without going through me."
"Oh, okay." You Xinyu continued to talk to Bai Chao affectionately, "Brother Qingzhi..."
"You Xinyu." Xiao Xuxing interrupted You Xinyu again, "We are going back."
"Ah? But I haven't finished talking to Brother Qingzhi yet..."
Bai Chao turned to look at Xiao Xuxing: "Xiao Xuxing, you go back first."
Xiao Xuxing narrowed his eyes: "I go back by myself? Do you know the way?"
"I recognize him!" You Xinyu had delivered documents to Xiao Xuxing before and remembered how to get there.
Xiao Xuxing: “…”
"Then I'll leave?" Xiao Xuxing pointed at himself.
Bai Chao turned his head back and stopped looking at him: "Yeah."
"..."
Xiao Xuxing took two steps forward and when he turned around he could only see the back of Bai Chao's head. He didn't show any intention of trying to keep him.
"Li Qingzhi." Xiao Xuxing called his name again, with a hidden warning in his voice.
You Xinyu on the other end pointed to a chair not far away: "Brother Qingzhi, there are too many people here. There is a chair over there. Let's go sit over there and chat~"
"it is good."
Bai Chao left with You Xinyu without even looking back.
Xiao Xuxing: “…”
You Xinyu took Bai Chao to the chair and patted the seat a few times: "Sit down, it's clean."
Bai Chao hesitated for a while, but still didn't sit down: "No need."
"Huh? All right then."
You Xinyu sat down and glanced at Xiao Xuxing, who was sitting some distance away from them.
"Hiss, I feel like Captain Xiao wants to burn my hair..."
"...burning hair?" Bai Chao was a little confused.
"Yeah! Team Xiao has several bald heads, all of which were burned by him. What a devil!"
"..."
Bai Chao looked at You Xinyu's high ponytail. Her hair was very long, and even when it was upright, it fell to her waist.
"He shouldn't do this to girls." Bai Chao said lightly.
You Xinyu shook her fingers: "NoNoNo, if it were someone else, they might show some sympathy, but Captain Xiao definitely won't. If I start something now, my hair will definitely start to smoke."
"..."
Bai Chao was silent for a while and changed the subject: "Why do you want to chat with me alone?"
You Xinyu's eyes widened: "Ah? Didn't Brother Qingzhi want to talk to me alone?"
"..."
You Xinyu chuckled and said, "Brother Qingzhi, do you have anything you want to ask me?"
Bai Chao spoke slowly: "It was you who saved Xiao Xuxing downstairs that day."
You Xinyu nodded: "Yes, yes, but I didn't do anything. In the end, it was Captain Xiao who made it on his own."
Bai Chao looked at You Xinyu and said, "What did you use to unlock Xiao Xuxing's gravity lock?"
"It's a master key~" You Xinyu looked mysterious.
Bai Chao asked, "Can you show me a look?"
You Xinyu sighed: "If Brother Qingzhi wants to see it, he has to join us sincerely, otherwise the captain will really burn my hair. When is Brother Qingzhi going to join us?"
"..."
Bai Chao was silent and did not answer the question. He looked at the cafeteria next to him.
"Did you also grow the vegetables in the cafeteria?"
You Xinyu scratched her head. "Vegetables? Yes, but it's not just me. Others in the team are also working hard to grow vegetables. How do they taste? Are they the same as the vegetables before the apocalypse?"
Bai Chao hummed: "You are very talented."
"Oh, why are you praising me all of a sudden~" You Xinyu covered her face shyly.
"..."
You Xinyu suddenly jumped up: "Oh my god, why is Captain Xiao coming here?"
Bai Chao was stunned and turned around, only to see the man in front of him walking towards them with a dark face and aggressive steps.
You Xinyu felt something was wrong: "Then Brother Qingzhi, I'll leave first, you guys go ahead and do your work."
Bai Chao nodded slightly, looked at the man walking over, and said softly: "You don't have to call me that in the future."
You Xinyu looked at Bai Chao in surprise: "Ah? What should I call you then?"
"Just a name."
"Oh, then I'll call you Brother Qingzhi from now on~"
"..."
When You Xinyu saw that Xiao Xuxing was about to rush over, she was so scared that she quickly protected her hair and ran away.
"Bye Captain Xiao! Bye Brother Qing Zhi~"
You Xinyu ran away in a flash.
"..." Bai Chao silently looked at the man who was already in front of him.
Xiao Xuxing frowned and grabbed Bai Chao's wrist: "What are you talking about? Why do you have to talk to her for so long? What is there to talk about?"
"nothing."
Bai Chao shook off his hand and walked back in the direction he came from.
Xiao Xuxing was not angry either. He stepped forward and hooked his shoulder: "Do you really know the way? You are so smart."
"..."
"What did you just say? Can you tell me about it?"
"..."
"Would you like to come see where I train? Hmm?"
"...You're so annoying."
Xiao Xuxing laughed out loud.
……
You Xinyu hummed a song as she returned to the planting area. She squatted in the mud and poked around. Suddenly, a voice came into her mind.
"What exactly went wrong..."
You Xinyu paused.
"By the way, Xiaoyao, why were you so anxious to ask me to go find Captain Xiao? Isn't he fine?"
"..."
Of course the Dark Nightmare Bug was anxious. It had clearly felt that the heroine's luck was decreasing, so it naturally had to rush to see what went wrong with the hero.
But the hero didn't have any problems, and the heroine has been acting according to its ideas, so why is this...
The Dark Nightmare Bug suddenly asked, "Does the Son of Peace Paradise appeal to you?"
You Xinyu's eyes lit up: "That's right!"
Shengzi seems to be a very normal person, and doesn't look like he has been brainwashed. Apart from his different stance, she likes his appearance, voice, and height.
And... there is also an indescribable sense of familiarity.
The Dark Nightmare said: "Then you can have more contact with him."
"what?"
"It would be best if Xiao Xuxing could show his reaction today..."
The sound of the Dark Nightmare Bug became lower and lower, but You Xinyu heard it.
"What's the reaction?"
The Dark Nightmare Bug was silent for a moment: "Didn't you notice that Xiao Xuxing's expression changed as long as you spoke a few more words to the Holy Son?"
You Xinyu's eyes widened: "No way, Xiaoyao, do you think Captain Xiao is jealous of Brother Qingzhi?"
"...Did you guess it?" The Dark Nightmare Bug suddenly felt that the heroine had come to her senses.
You Xinyu waved her hands: "Oh, I told you that you don't understand human emotions. You really think too much."
"You don't understand."
"Okay, okay, you are right~"
Dark Nightmare: “…”
What a blockhead.
