Hold His Hand

Although Lu Yanzhou was building roads all the way back and exhausted his ability several times to the point of exhaustion, he still gained a lot.

Although it was a town, the population of the town was more than 100,000 before the apocalypse, so there were many shops and residents in the town, its prosperity was not inferior to that of some county towns.

The supermarkets and food stores inside have all been rummaged, so there are not many things left, but some restaurants are still the same.

Lu Yanzhou took people in to search and found some edible things, such as bagged rice, bacon, vermicelli, and many other seasonings.

As for the possibility that these things are expired…People these days really don’t care that much.

He also found a furniture store and took a bed, a table, and two dining chairs from it.

His subordinates were puzzled by this, so Lu Yanzhou could only say: “When I was practicing my ability, I accidentally broke the furniture in the room.”

So that’s it! Lu Yanzhou’s subordinates really admired Lu Yanzhou. They felt that their boss was really a diligent person who practiced his ability all the time.

Their truck is quite big, so after the furniture is taken apart, it can hold a lot of things.

They have already distributed the goods on the way back.

They distributed all the good quality food, leaving some not so good quality food, such as rice noodles that have passed the expiration date but can still be eaten and other things. After discussing with them, Lu Yanzhou planned to share them with those elderly who don’t work.

The original owner did the same thing before, so everyone had no objections, and even helped Lu Yanzhou move the furniture to his room door.

Lu Yanzhou didn’t let them enter the room. He was afraid that Xie Chengze’s sudden appearance would be seen by these people.

So he brought those things into the room and assembled them himself.

Before the apocalypse, people usually hired others to install furniture, but after a year…Now people’s hands-on ability can be said to be very good.

Lu Yanzhou quickly assembled the furniture. Looking at the time, it was already eight o’clock.

Xie Chengze hasn’t come yet…Lu Yanzhou was a little thankful, but also a little disappointed, so he went into the bathroom to take a shower first.

As a result, while he was washing, Chengcheng suddenly opened the door and came in.

Lu Yanzhou was taken aback. He covered the key parts with a towel, and said to Chengcheng, “Chengcheng, you’re here?”

Chengcheng looked at Lu Yanzhou intently and nodded.

“You go out first, I’ll finish washing soon.” Lu Yanzhou said.

In the end, Chengcheng didn’t even blink his eyes and didn’t intend to leave at all: “No, I’ll wait for you.”

Lu Yanzhou: “…” How can he do this?

But he seemed to have no reason to make Chengcheng go out. He had helped Chengcheng take a bath before, so now he could only let Chengcheng watch him take a shower.

Lu Yanzhou could only turn his back to Chengcheng and take a shower in embarrassment.

Ignoring that, while Chengcheng looked at him, he said sweetly: “Lu Yanzhou, I really like you!”

Chengcheng really likes Lu Yanzhou very much, he knows that AZe also likes Lu Yanzhou.

But he didn’t dare to tell Lu Yanzhou about the matter between him and AZe. Sigh. Aze has already said it, if he said it, Lu Yanzhou would not like him.

Previously, his mother didn’t like him very much and yelled at him, and his stepfather and younger brother also didn’t like him either…

Chengcheng doesn’t want Lu Yanzhou to hate him either.

He really likes Lu Yanzhou, now he really wants to pounce on him and hug Lu Yanzhou tightly.

But that might scare Lu Yanzhou, so he has to endure it!

At most…he can only kiss Lu Yanzhou’s face, right?

Lu Yanzhou blushed from Chengcheng confession.

The security base lacks energy, so he uses cold water for showering, but the cold water cannot suppress the heat on his body.

After quickly getting dressed, Lu Yanzhou said, “I also like Chengcheng.”

Chengcheng asked: “Then do you like…like my big brother?”

“I only like Chengcheng.” Lu Yanzhou said. He is fine, why should he like his brother-in-law?

Chengcheng is still introducing AZe to Lu Yanzhou: “My big brother is very smart and powerful, much better than me.”

“But I only like Chengcheng!” Lu Yanzhou said.

When Chengcheng heard this, he looked at Lu Yanzhou angrily.

Lu Yanzhou could only say: “I have never met your big brother, so of course it’s impossible for me to like him.”

This sounded right, but something was wrong. Chengcheng pondered for a moment, and could only say: “If you meet my big brother, you will definitely like him.”

Lu Yanzhou: “…” Xie Chengze probably says that because he is a fool now, he will never say such things again after he recovers from his illness.

In their previous life, a scholar only said a few words to him and Xie Chengze was jealous for several days. He was always watched by Xie Chengze’s people, he was not allowed to have more than enough contact with other people…

After returning home today, Lu Yanzhou was busy assembling the furniture, so he didn’t cook, but he asked someone to buy two dinners for him.

Chickens have been raised in the security base, so dinner tonight is braised chicken, fried eggplant and rice.

The taste is not good, but Chengcheng is still very satisfied.

During the meal, Lu Yanzhou kept chatting with Chengcheng, so he knew that during the day, Chengcheng’s big brother still didn’t eat the food he asked Chengcheng to bring, and of course Chengcheng didn’t eat either.

Lu Yanzhou: “…” Brother-in-law is quite stubborn!

“Big brother also wrote a letter!” Chengcheng handed a letter to Lu Yanzhou, “big brother also asked me to return the food to you…but I didn’t take it.”

Lu Yanzhou accepted the letter helplessly, then after reading it, he had a good impression of his brother-in-law.

His brother-in-law didn’t eat his food because he was afraid that he would make Xie Chengze do dangerous things.

Lu Yanzhou immediately wrote a reply letter to reassure the other party, saying that he would never make Chengcheng do dangerous things and would definitely protect Chengcheng, he also expressed his desire to have a face-to-face meeting with the other party.

After writing the reply, Lu Yanzhou thought about it, then asked someone to buy six rice balls from the cafeteria that was still open at this time.

This thing can’t be kept for a long time, so he asked Chengcheng to take it back for Chengcheng and his brother to eat tomorrow.

Two people and three meals a day, exactly one rice ball per meal.

“Chengcheng, I’m worried about you.” Lu Yanzhou put away the six rice balls and two bottles of bibimbap sauce he found today, then prepared for Xie Chengze to take them back tomorrow.

Chengcheng kissed Lu Yanzhou on the face: “You are the best!”

Lu Yanzhou suddenly felt that no matter how hard or tired he was, it was all worth it.

Chengcheng has become familiar with Lu Yanzhou these days, so he is not afraid of Lu Yanzhou at all and kisses the other side of Lu Yanzhou’s face too: “I like you the most!”

“What about your big brother?”

“I also like him the most!” Chengcheng did not hesitate.

Lu Yanzhou: “…”

Chengcheng came early today, but after he washed up, it was past ten o’clock, so Lu Yanzhou urged him to go to bed early — he leaves at six o’clock every day, he should go to bed early!

As soon as Chengcheng left the next day, Lu Yanzhou went out. After buying breakfast, he took his subordinate to distribute the food brought back yesterday.

After the distribution, they plan to go to that town again—there probably still a lot of supplies there.

Lu Yanzhou had just helped the people in the park build houses two days ago, so he planned to distribute food to them too. He didn’t do it himself this time, but asked the person who was in charge of distributing the house to distribute it.

So, as soon as Xie Chengze got up, he stared at the six rice balls in a daze, then he heard that Lu Yanzhou had sent some food to distribute to those who lived here and had no jobs.

He had a job, so he couldn’t get Lu Yanzhou’s food, but he got six rice balls from the person Chengcheng liked.

In fact, Xie Chengze has always told Chengcheng not to meet that person, but Chengcheng didn’t listen to him. In the past few days, he could also feel that…Chengcheng likes that person very much.

Chengcheng should fall in love with that person, just like how he he loves Lu Yanzhou.

Xie Chengze was very worried about this matter.

He didn’t want the rice balls given by the other party either.

But this rice ball is different from canned food and compressed biscuits. If he doesn’t eat it on such a hot day, it will be spoiled!

The other party also said in the letter that no matter what, he shouldn’t starve Chengcheng and give Chengcheng unpalatable and non nutritious flatbread.

Chengcheng is actually him, and if he doesn’t eat these, it’s equivalent to Chengcheng not eating…at the end, Xie Chengze picked up the rice ball and took a bite.

It’s really delicious!

He had forgotten how long he hadn’t eaten such a good thing!

The rice balls that Lu Yanzhou bought were considered expensive in the cafeteria.

It has rice on the outside, pickles, meat, and other things in the middle. It depends on what ingredients are available in the cafeteria.

The one Xie Chengze ate had potato shreds and bacon wrapped in the middle. The bacon was a bit fat and oily, but he was really indescribably satisfied when he bit into it.

He hasn’t eaten meat this year.

When Xie Chengze went to the hospital, he took the remaining five rice balls with him.

Thinking that he could eat another rice ball at noon, he felt that his whole body was full of energy, then he couldn’t help but spurn himself—he didn’t do anything for the other person, how could he take the other person’s things?

And…that person actually gave it to Chengcheng…

Xie Chengze’s mood was extremely complicated.

After working for a day, Xie Chengze took the extra rice balls and went to find his mother and stepfather.

The car he lived in before actually belonged to his stepfather. Now he doesn’t need to rent this car, so he needs to tell his stepfather.

He moved the day before yesterday, so he already cleaned the car inside and out yesterday. He planned to return the car today, and now that there are more than three rice balls, he can use it as a gift.

It was a bit generous, but he couldn’t finish it.

The person who gave Chengcheng rice balls obviously has no shortage of food, and it’s not good to return the rice balls after leaving them for a day…Still, he definitely has to write a letter to ask the other party not to give him any more food. If he really wants to give, he can just send him a letter.

Xie Chengze’s mother, his stepfather, and younger brother rented a master bedroom with a bathroom in a house together.

There is a shortage of houses in the security base, so most people live like this.

After Xie Chengze arrived, he gave them three rice balls.

Seeing the white rice, the eyes of the three were about to glow, but when Xie Chengze explained why he came, his stepfather said, “Isn’t your living condition not good? Why don’t you continue renting it?”

“I found a suitable house…”

“You can’t share a room with others in your situation, isn’t it good to live in a car?” Xie Chengze’s stepfather immediately said, obviously a little unhappy.

Xie Chengze knew why his stepfather was like this.

He works in the hospital, so his monthly salary is 1200 contribution points, and renting his stepfather’s car is 300 contribution points.

This price is not cheap, if he is willing to live in a hostel, it’s only one hundred and fifty contribution points a month. If he is willing to share a room with someone, three hundred contribution points is also enough.

It’s just that his situation is special, so he cannot live with others.

By the way, next month’s rent for the house built by Lu Yanzhou is also 300 contribution points.

So his stepfather was unhappy, simply because he didn’t want to lose the 300 contribution points per month.

Before the apocalypse, his stepfather was very rich and always very generous to others, he was also good to him. After the apocalypse, he became like this…

Xie Chengze used to endure it, but he had encountered a lot of things in the past few days that made him feel irritated, so he said, “Uncle Yang, you can put up your car for rent, the cost can go up to a 100 contribution points a month.”

Gasoline is scarce in the security base, so ordinary people can’t afford to drive a car at all. Fuel family cars are worthless in the security base, so if he really wants to rent them, you can rent them for about 50 contribution points at most.

“Then I can rent it to you for one hundred a month.” Said his stepfather.

Xie Chengze refused: “No need, I already rented a house.”

His biological father was killed in a car accident to protect him. After that, Chengcheng appeared more and more and never grew up, causing a lot of trouble for his mother.

Therefore, though he admitted that his mother didn’t like him very much, he was still willing to give her something.

However, he also has to live, so he needs contribute points.

Besides, he has eaten a lot of someone else’s things for nothing recently, even if he has some contribution points, he should save them and give it to the person who gave Chengcheng all kinds of food.
