"Are you Lu Yinxi?"
The burly men stepped aside voluntarily. A young girl about the same age as Lu Yinxi walked towards her haughtily, opening with a condescending interrogation.
Such a commotion naturally attracted the sideways glances of many people around. Immediately, someone recognized her as Li Xinlan, the younger sister of Li Xinhe.
Like Zhao Ze, Li Xinhe was also a capable assistant of Shang Luoshu. In fact, in some matters, he was even better than Zhao Ze. However, he had a flaw - he doted on his younger sister excessively.
Afraid that this would delay important matters, Shang Luoshu usually relied more on Zhao Ze on weekdays.
Relying on her elder brother's doting and his status, Li Xinlan ran amok in the base. No one dared to provoke her. She even wantonly bullied and suppressed any woman who appeared beside Shang Luoshu.
There was only one reason - she was also in love with this man.
Li Xinlan originally thought that as long as she did this, Shang Luoshu would surely notice and accept her one day. However, she never expected that after disappearing for more than half a year, when he reappeared, he had already married another woman. How could she accept this?
So, she racked her brains to find Lu Yinxi's residence and then brought thugs to block her.
Facing Li Xinlan's interrogation, Lu Yinxi showed no sign of timidity. Even though the other side outnumbered her and she was all alone.
The young girl tilted her head, looking casual and nonchalant, as if she didn't take this person seriously at all. "Miss, before asking someone's name, you should introduce yourself first. Didn't your mother even teach you such a simple truth?"
Lu Yinxi's words really hit Li Xinlan's sore spot. She really didn't have parents.
The expression of the person who had been tolerating Li Xinlan just now instantly changed. Immediately, she directed the thugs around her to swarm forward. Lu Yinxi was not afraid at all. She put away the nonchalance in her eyes and assumed a starting stance.
These days when she was forced to stay in bed, it was just the right time to stretch her muscles!
However, there were always some people who just wouldn't let her have her way.
Suddenly, a big hand clasped around her slender waist. A cold and refreshing breeze enveloped her. Lu Yinxi didn't need to look to know who it was. She instinctively gave him an elbow. The person instantly frowned and bent over, resting his head on her neck, looking as if he had been seriously injured.
"Yinxi, how could you be so heartless? You actually want to murder your husband?"
"There are so many people watching. Be more restrained!"
Lu Yinxi resisted the urge to roll her eyes and looked away disdainfully. Since the successful proposal, Shang Luoshu had completely changed in front of her. He was just a complete childish ghost. It was simply unbearable to look at!
For Lu Yinxi, who was used to seeing his other side, this scene was just an appetizer. But it was the first time for the people in the base to see that the base leader actually had such a... side.
As if sensing the strange looks from others, Shang Luoshu coughed lightly and resumed his usual demeanor, but still protected Lu Yinxi behind him.
"Why are you here?"
Lu Yinxi asked. If she remembered correctly, this person had said yesterday that he would be very busy these days and might not have time to accompany her. After all, as the leader of the base, having skipped work for more than half a year, there were many things waiting for him to handle.
"Lunch time is here. I can't eat without you by my side."
This person spouted sweet words casually, but Lu Yinxi wasn't impressed. She retorted directly, "So you're treating me as a side dish?"
"I can't help it. After all, my Xi'er is so beautiful that she can serve as a feast for the eyes!"
These words were very pleasing, especially to a woman's heart.
Although Lu Yinxi showed disdain on the surface, she was actually a little happy in her heart. Finally, she reluctantly agreed to his invitation. "Since that's the case, then I'll give you some face. Let's go eat!"
The two of them showed their affection without a care in the world, making the people around them feel like they didn't even need to eat lunch.
Moreover, from beginning to end, Shang Luoshu didn't even spare a glance at anyone else. His heart and eyes were filled with only the person in front of him.
Li Xinlan watched their intimate interaction, the tenderness flowing between their words and actions, and watched them leave hand in hand. Finally, she couldn't hold back her emotions and broke down.
"Lu Yinxi, do you think Brother Luoshu married you because he likes you?
No, he just wants your Speech Spirit!"
Hearing her own name suddenly, Lu Yinxi instinctively stopped. Who would have thought that she would overhear these words. She instinctively looked at Shang Luoshu, but the man looked back at someone else.
A cold glance swept over. Li Xinlan finally got Shang Luoshu's attention as she wished, but at this moment, she seemed to smell the smell of death.
Shang Luoshu wanted to kill her!
...
Shang Luoshu and Lu Yinxi didn't like to be special. Their meals were similar to others', two or three dishes and two bowls of white rice. It was enough to fill their stomachs.
The young couple ate in silence. During the meal, Shang Luoshu wanted to say something several times, but he always hesitated.
"I'm leaving."
Lu Yinxi knew that he still had a lot of work to do later, so after she finished eating, she put down her chopsticks and proposed to leave first.
"Bang!"
The door of the office suddenly closed. Lu Yinxi was trapped in a small world formed by the man and the door. His rapid breathing and wet kisses landed on her neck.
However, looking at their extremely familiar posture now, her mood was just terrible!
Did this person get addicted to pinning her against the door?
Just as she was about to speak, Shang Luoshu interrupted her first. "Yinxi, I'll explain it to you when I get back tonight, so don't be angry, okay?"
What's it like when a man who is used to being domineering suddenly acts coquettishly towards you?
It's probably the feeling that if he proposed to have a moment in the office at this time, she might even soften her heart and agree.
What the hell is this mess?
Shaking off those strange thoughts, Lu Yinxi sighed helplessly. She took the initiative to put her arms around his shoulders and said seriously, "I'm not angry, but the explanation is still needed!"
It's not that Lu Yinxi believed Li Xinlan's words. She and Shang Luoshu had been through so much. She wasn't a fool. She could feel whether this person's feelings for her were real or not.
However, Li Xinlan did remind her of one thing, that is, why did Shang Luoshu save her in the first place?
If it was an accident that he saved Lu Yinxi who was surrounded by zombies, what about creating a spiritual world for her?
Over the years in the apocalypse, Lu Yinxi had also heard of the concept of the spiritual power world. She didn't know how to operate it specifically. She only knew that if one was not careful, both of them might die in it, but Shang Luoshu still did it.
She didn't believe that the man was already deeply in love with her at that time and was willing to live and die with her.
So there must be something she didn't know.
...
There were a lot of things to do in the base. Shang Luoshu didn't come back until late at night. However, Lu Yinxi still wasn't asleep. She left a lamp on for him.
Having been alone for a long time in the chaotic world, Shang Luoshu had almost forgotten the feeling of having someone waiting for him at home.
Unable to contain his surging emotions, he pinned her under him and kissed her again and again. His tongue swept through her mouth, and his fingers teased her sensitive spots, making her emit charming moans...
"Shang Luoshu!"
Lu Yinxi never expected that this man would think about this as soon as he came back.
She pushed him away forcefully. Her chest heaved violently. Her clothes had been pushed down to her elbows. Her eyes were full of spring water and her eyes were as charming as silk, but she still had to pretend to be angry.
"Shang Luoshu, don't think you can get away with this! You promised me that you would explain to me tonight why you saved me in the first place?"
She glared at him with her eyes, not knowing that this appearance of hers made people want to bully her even more.
Shang Luoshu closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He kissed her on the lips a few more times before pulling her into his arms and slowly saying, "Xi'er, do you know what my ability is?"
Lu Yinxi didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned to abilities. However, she still answered seriously, "I heard that it's lightning?"
After the end of the world came, people's awakened abilities were all strange and varied. However, most people still couldn't escape the five elements of "metal, wood, water, fire, and earth". So in comparison, Lu Yinxi's Speech Spirit was particularly special.
The man pecked at the top of her hair and shook his head with a smile.
"Not just lightning. There's actually another ability in my body."
"It's Precognition!"
