Millennium: I Love Demon King

Lin Xin had originally planned to give Lou Xiao a hot bath, but seeing that he was sleeping soundly, she had no choice but to give up this idea. When the two of them went upstairs to settle him down, Gu Cheng filled a bathtub full of hot water. Previously when they were trapped by zombies, their bodies had not lost a single drop of blood.

Gu Cheng lightly touched the spot where Lin Xin had been bitten by a zombie. His hands felt smooth, and he was no longer aware that an hour ago, this place had been bitten by a zombie until there were no longer any traces of good meat. Even from a distance, he could imagine how painful it must have been for her.

Noticing his hesitation, Lin Xin withdrew her leg and leaned against him. Her fingers caressed Gu Cheng's forehead, eyes, nose and Adam's apple … As he slowly walked down the stairs, his breathing tightened. His long eyelashes trembled as he closed his eyes. As she moved, he unconsciously pulled her closer to his chest. A vague panting sound entered her ears, Lin Xin's breathing also became erratic.

After a long while, Gu Cheng let out a long exhale. When he opened his eyes, his pair of dark eyes shone as if they had been submerged by water. He looked at Lin Xin with a look of concentration and satisfaction. After the mess, the water had already turned completely cold. Gu Cheng changed the water and gave the two of them a simple scrub before returning to the main bedroom with Lin Xin.

The air-conditioning system had been set to 32 degrees Celsius by Gu Cheng. While they were taking a bath, the room had already warmed up sufficiently. Both of them were wearing only the couple's coralline dressing gown, and they didn't feel cold walking around.

From time to time, the sounds of zombies howling could be heard from outside. Such a familiar background sound reminded her of the scenes when she was travelling with Gu Cheng. It was the same as now, watching movies while listening to zombies and sleeping. At that time, even in their dreams, they would have never thought that there would be zombies wandering around Beijing.

It was at this moment that Gu Cheng brought the warm milk over. Only now did she realize that she had not tasted this for a long time. The moment she smelled the sweetness of the milk, she really felt nostalgic. She finished it in a few mouthfuls and licked her lips as if she wanted to continue. After that "tough life", she finally understood how enviable her life was now.

Gu Cheng had learnt his lesson this time and filled the loft with food that wasn't easy to spoil. It was more than enough for them to eat for an entire year. Fresh meat, such as milk and fruit, was easy to rot, but it had to be stored outside for at least a week. Given the current temperature, it was almost a natural refrigerator, which was much more convenient than summer.

By the time he finished doing all this, it was already 10: 30. Lin Xin was already beginning to yawn. After urging him a few times, she couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep while leaning against the bed. He didn't know how long she slept, but Lin Xin could feel that he had returned to his bed, his hands were mischievously lighting up the room. She was too sleepy, and even her hands that had been rejecting him were powerless. As a result of this, Lin Xin slept all the way until 12 o'clock the next day. Her whole body was sore.

She heard voices coming from the living room on the third floor. She listened to them lazily on her pillow, laughing until her stomach hurt.

Gu Cheng: You can only eat when you've written the correct name of the dish.

Lou Xiao: "..."

Moments later, the sound of paper being continuously kneaded could be heard. Three minutes later, Lou Xiao finally managed to write four words with great difficulty. Lin Xin could almost imagine what kind of expression would be on Gu Cheng's face when he saw those crooked words.

Gu Cheng: "Fast" for braised chicken. Do you want to race with steamed fish? Not only that, but the braised chicken won. Don't eat lunch, just copy these four words 50 times and eat again if you can write them correctly.

Lou Xiao: "..."

A second later came the sound of fighting, and without any surprises, Lou Xiao suffered a crushing defeat at Gu Cheng's feet. After a sorrowful cry akin to that of an injured little beast, he probably still gave in, because Lin Xin had heard his unique heavy writing sound.

If she did not wake up, she would have starved to death by Gu Cheng. Lin Xin hurriedly got up and changed her clothes. Gu Cheng had long since heard her movements in the living room, even helping her set up her bowl.

Upon seeing Lin Xin come out, Lou Xiao pitifully threw her a wronged look. However, when she saw Gu Cheng's persistent expression, she could only give him a 'I can't do anything' expression. In the children's education, she had always felt that the traditional singing of a black face is quite effective, on the key issues to maintain the dignity of a black face comrade in front of the children. Otherwise, in the next time he encountered a problem, the child would still take advantage of the elder's different attitude loopholes and do whatever he wanted.

Their unit had had a few meals before, so Lin Xin had a particularly deep impression of that big sister from the HR Department. The reason was because of her naughty little girl. Because the adults in the family doted too much on their children and always gave them what they wanted, even if the father wanted to, he couldn't. Because every time he got angry or punished, his wife would come out early and "good baby" and "don't listen to your dad's baby" would indulge the child indefinitely.

Because of them, every time they had a meal together, it would make them very unhappy. Lin Xin didn't go to the last few meals at work, but she really didn't want to eat the saliva soup that the rascal bit her lips and then threw back into the hotpot – even though the hotpot was almost just saliva soup.

Therefore, even though her heart ached, she endured it and didn't rescue him. Secretly, she also felt that Gu Cheng's teaching method was rather good. Just like how she had taught Lou Xiao how to read and write before, even if he taught her for ten to fifteen days, it still wouldn't be as plentiful as teaching the Church for two to three days. A loving mother has many failed children. Lin Xin reckoned that in the future, she would be the only one who would walk the path of a white face.

Seeing that begging was useless, Lou Xiao could only hold back his tears and sniff. He obediently squatted on the small stool and started to pick up the words. A table of fragrant roasted chicken pieces, steamed fish and fried beef, clams and tofu soup unceasingly swayed under his nose. Relying on the enticement and support of the delicious food, Lou Xiao finally wrote these four words correctly over thirty times, allowing Gu Cheng to allow him to eat at the table.

Downstairs, Shao exploded again. Just as he was about to pounce on Gu Cheng, he saw that before he even moved his hand, the delicious meat on the table had vanished into thin air. After all, he was still a child.

He was clearly crying so miserably, but Lin Xin felt a strange sense of joy at the scene in front of her. However, she still helped Lou Xiao, tugging on Gu Cheng's sleeve as she pleaded, "Chopsticks aren't something that can be learned in a day. I'll teach you slowly, and I'm also hungry."

Only then did Gu Cheng place the dishes back on the table and hand a spoon to Lou Xiao. This was already his lowest requirement.

Lou Xiao, who relied on his tears in exchange for a whole table of meat, tried the same trick again, but Lin Xin ignored him. He had no choice but to clumsily scoop up the meat from the plate. After a while, he raised his eyebrows in delight. So if he used this, he wouldn't be scalded by the food and his hands wouldn't be dirty. In fact, Lou Xiao would love to be clean if there were conditions.

As he ate, it was as if he had discovered a new continent. His face was full of novelty, but in Lin Xin's eyes, it was tinged with a hint of bitterness. One day he will be like a normal child.
