Chapter 233
Zhou Shuwan also knew that he was indeed sick. It might be because the weather was too hot, he ate spicy food, and then he went back and forth between home and the basement, with alternating hot and cold temperatures, so he caught a heat cold.
She felt dizzy, had a stuffy nose and a sore throat, so she took the medicine obediently.
Cold medicines all contain sleeping pills, and after she took them, she fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, I looked at the pitch-black surroundings and had no idea where I was.
"Wanwan, are you awake?" A voice sounded softly beside her.
Zhou Shuwan turned her head to see that it was Qi Mingyu. He was sitting on a chair beside her. Seeing that she was awake, he quickly turned on the lamp and poured her some water: "Does your throat still hurt? Drink some water first. I specially brought you some warm water."
He leaned over and helped Zhou Shuwan up.
"Why are you here? Where's my mom? What time is it?" She asked a series of questions in a cold attitude.
Qi Mingyu helped her up and put the water cup in her hand: "It's already two o'clock in the afternoon, and you've slept until now. You had a fever in the morning, but you sweated a little and the fever subsided."
After a pause, he said, "I'll deliver lunch at noon, so let Aunt Zhong go back to eat first and come back in the evening."
Zhou Shuwan looked at him suspiciously: "My mother asked you to take care of me here?"
Although her mother wanted to match her with Qi Mingyu, how could the older generation let an adult man who was not in a relationship take care of their daughter!
Seeing that she was still so perceptive even though she was sick, Qi Mingyu smiled helplessly: "Actually, I told Aunt Zhong that your illness this time was due to some misunderstanding between us. I wanted to stay with you until you wake up and talk to you alone. Aunt Zhong couldn't bear my pleading and agreed to go back."
Zhou Shuwan's eyes widened in anxiety: "You, what does my illness have to do with you? Stop flattering yourself!"
She looked like a cat with its fur standing on end when she was angry.
Qi Mingyu smiled slightly: "Wanwan, I also want to ask you, you were the one who said hurtful words to me yesterday, how come you are the one who got sick?"
Zhou Shuwan became even more anxious, ignoring the water cup in his hand and pushing him: "Go away quickly, go away quickly, what does my illness have to do with you... cough cough... cough cough..."
When I got anxious, my dry throat started coughing again.
Qi Mingyu patted her back hurriedly: "Don't be impatient, take your time to talk, you are still sick!"
Zhou Shuwan pushed his hand away, turned her back and ignored him.
Qi Mingyu casually placed the water cup on the table, frowned, and remained silent for a long time before he looked up and asked solemnly, "Wanwan, I do have something to say to you alone. I want to know why you rejected me!"
Zhou Shuwan was a little impatient: "Didn't I tell you, I don't think we are suitable, and I don't have the idea of finding a boyfriend in the apocalypse!"
"That's not what I want to know..." But before she could finish, the other party interrupted her and stared at her: "I want to know, after the apocalypse, there are many people who stick together to survive, whether it's for survival, or as you said, to vent their physical desires..."
Zhou Shuwan shifted uncomfortably.
Qi Mingyu continued, "Many male and female survivors live together! I think I have good survival skills. I have excellent fighting ability, the strength to do heavy work, and I have stockpiled enough supplies for my grandmother and I to live for ten or twenty years. And you clearly like me. All these reasons are the reasons why you chose me. So I can't understand why you don't do this? Why are you struggling and entangled like this..."
"I'm not conflicted!" Zhou Shuwan said immediately in a cold voice.
Qi Mingyu didn't say anything, just stared at her. Under the dim light, his eyes seemed to be able to see straight through people's hearts and see directly into Zhou Shuwan's heart.
Zhou Shuwan's heartstrings trembled. He was so sensitive!
Or had he guessed something long ago?
She clenched her hands into fists under the quilt, closed her eyes, and said in a very cold voice: "I rejected you, and your self-esteem is so unbearable? Or do you think too highly of yourself and think that I must have you?"
Qi Mingyu didn't get angry. He leaned forward slightly, his breath almost falling on Zhou Shuwan's face: "Wanwan, is it because of your space?"
The desk lamp suddenly crackled and the power went out.
The surroundings immediately fell into darkness!
It was dead silent, not even breathing could be heard.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Shuwan spoke calmly and quietly: "I don't know what you are talking about!"
Qi Mingyu's voice was also low. He and Zhou Shuwan were very close, and his voice was right next to her ear. "Wanwan, I knew this secret a long time ago, and then after observing for a while, I was sure of it. I know you and your family are worried, and I know your heartache, so I originally decided not to reveal this secret! However, if you are deliberately distancing yourself from me because of this secret, I want to tell you that you should trust me a little more!"
There was a long silence.
Zhou Shuwan finally spoke: "You, when did you know?"
"When you rescued the woman in the abandoned building after I was injured..."
"No, I gave you sleeping pills at that time, you should have been asleep..."
She was not that stupid. She only took action after she had fed the other person sleeping pills and made sure that it was safe!
"Wanwan, you don't understand special forces. We're different from ordinary troops. We receive extraordinary missions, so one of our trainings is to increase our resistance to various drugs... So, after you drugged me, I woke up quickly, and in that forest, I saw everything..."
It’s so early!
He actually knew it so early!
If you think about it carefully, later when she said she would help everyone hide motorboats, gasoline and other supplies, he readily agreed without any objection at all!
At that time, she thought that the other party trusted her too much, but now she understood that he did not trust her too much, but he knew that space was the safest place to hide supplies.
"You!" She couldn't explain what she was feeling at the moment: shock, anger, embarrassment,...
But, the only thing I am not afraid of is!
In fact, the reason why she was reluctant to accept Qi Mingyu was because of the existence of space.
She couldn't afford to gamble with humanity, nor did she dare to gamble with the lives of her entire family...
So, she couldn't help but be attracted to him, but she forced herself to distance herself from him...
However, when she heard the other party say that he had known about the existence of space for a long time, she was not afraid or frightened!
I didn't even think of silencing him!
Perhaps, it was because of the nearly one and a half years of getting along that she had come to trust the other person!
"Wanwan, life is long, so long that it seems there is no end in sight, but it is also short, so short that it seems to have passed in the blink of an eye! My parents separated when I was young. Whether it was my father or my mother, I was an unwelcome child in their eyes, despised and resented.
