Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 867 Extreme Apocalypse 31

It was so hot that they had to take a shower before they could go to sleep, but while they were showering, things got a little out of hand.

After they finished all that fussing, it was almost dawn before they finally went to sleep.

"Awake?" Li Yanjing didn't open his eyes, but leaned close to her neck and massaged her waist.

Before she went to sleep, she mentioned that her lower back was a little sore.

"Hmm, are we going to collect supplies again today?"

Sensing that she didn't want to go, Li Yanjing chimed in, "I'll go, you rest."

"Okay, then get up." Ruan Chutong rubbed the new ring on her finger, thinking that she would eat something and then watch her drama later.

The ring was put on last night, and now everyone will find out when we get back.

What a cunning person! This must have been planned by Li Yanjing long ago.

"Not urgent."

Suddenly feeling a poking sensation between her legs, Ruan Chutong moved forward and asked, "Brother Li, aren't you tired?"

She spent most of last night lying down, because she didn't want to move around much when it was hot.

Although she wasn't tired, she still felt he had a lot of energy.

"I'm not tired. Sorry, I don't think I have much self-control when it comes to you."

Li Yanjing wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her back, preventing her from moving forward and away from him.

After Ruan Chutong was hugged by him, the large hand that was originally around her waist slid down, and at the same time, another hand appeared in front of her.

……

As night fell, it became another night of infatuation and passion.

I stayed outside for a total of five days, except for the first day when I went out.

Ruan Chutong has basically spent most of the past few days in bed.

She lay lazily on the edge of the bed: "No, Brother Li, we have to go back to the base quickly, otherwise our families will worry that something has happened to us."

I need to take a break; I can't keep indulging in beauty like this.

Li Yanjing nodded and took a small bowl of cut fruit to feed her.

"Okay, we'll pack up and head back in a bit."

Ruan Chutong opened her mouth and ate the fruit he fed her: "Okay, then I'll change my clothes."

*

They didn't return to the base until after dark.

After exchanging the items they brought back at the trading hall, the two headed towards their villa.

On the way, Li Yanjing held Ruan Chutong's hand, not letting her let go.

Stop and stare at her whenever you sense she's about to let go.

"We're almost home. You can't back out now."

Ruan Chutong said helplessly, "No, that's not true. I just think you don't want to go back and tell everyone about this. You should find a better time."

She didn't want to be stared at and questioned by everyone as soon as she walked in.

Seeing that she had no intention of changing her mind, Li Yanjing relented: "Alright, I'll go talk to Aunt Xu and Dad again tomorrow."

When she arrived at her doorstep, her family was preparing dinner. Upon hearing the knock, Li Xinyan opened the door.

"Brother, Sister Tong, you're finally back!"

Hearing the noise, everyone came over. Li Dayuan first looked the two of them up and down: "Why did it take you so long to come back? Did you encounter any danger?"

"It's nothing, I just stayed out for a couple more days." Li Yanjing didn't explain for the time being.

Xu Zhenzhu said, "It's good that you're back. We were just about to have dinner, so please come in and eat."

Ruan Chutong nodded: "Okay, I'll eat something before I go to rest."

At the dinner table, Li Yanjing sat down next to her as if no one else was there.

He didn't stop there and started putting food on her plate.

Ruan Chutong glanced at him but didn't say anything.

At first, only Gao Mingcheng noticed that the atmosphere between the two of them had become increasingly subtle since they returned from their trip.

When Li Yanjing served food to Ruan Chutong a second and third time, he was always paying attention to her.

At the dinner table, even Li Xinyan, who was usually oblivious and focused on her food, could tell that something was off between the two.

Although no one spoke, they slowed down their eating pace considerably, and everyone secretly kept glancing at the two of them.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Ruan Chutong continued eating, but under the table, her leg nudged Li Yanjing.

Only then did Li Yanjing avert his gaze and stop openly staring at her.

Gao Mingcheng's eyes were practically overflowing with gossip, and he probed without any restraint.

"Chu Tong, A Jing, did you two have any interesting experiences on your trip? Tell us about them!"

"No." If Li Yanjing could answer, he wouldn't be himself.

Ruan Chutong also shook her head: "It's nothing, just like searching for supplies normally."

Li Xinyan asked somewhat impatiently, "Sister Tong, what's wrong with my brother? Why does he seem so considerate since he came back this time?"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Chutong simply smiled and asked in return, "Brother Li, was he not considerate of everyone before?"

"Considerate, but not as considerate as tonight."

She could see it clearly: not only did her brother always serve food to others, but he also looked at Tong Jie more often than at his own bowl.

Suddenly, I remembered things I hadn't thought much about before, but now I realize they are.

If there's nothing going on between the two of them, she'll change her surname to Ruan, just like Tong Jie. They're all family, so it doesn't matter what their surnames are.

Ruan Chutong and Li Yanjing are both calm and composed people.

So, unless they themselves bring it up, it's really hard to know what kind of answer people want to hear.

But Xu Zhenzhu, with her sharp eyes, noticed that her daughter, sitting opposite her, had a ring on her hand that she hadn't had before they left.

Ruan Chutong sat in the first seat on the left side of the dining table, and unless others specifically looked for her, they couldn't see her left hand.

Faced with Xu Zhenzhu's hesitant gaze, Ruan Chutong showed no change in expression, pretending not to understand.

She felt that Li Yanjing would handle this matter, and she didn't need to worry about it.

After dinner, Ruan Chutong returned to her room, not giving anyone a chance to ask questions.

Li Yanjing walked slowly and was stopped by Li Dayuan.

He thought his dad was going to ask him something, but in the end he only said, "Ah Jing, you've taken good care of your sister."

As Li Dayuan spoke, he patted him on the shoulder.

"Yes, it's what I should do." Li Yanjing didn't say it out loud.

I promised Ruan Chutong I'd talk about it tomorrow, so let's do it tomorrow.

Seeing his expression, Li Dayuan became somewhat uncertain about the guess he had made during the meal.

Just as he was hesitating whether or not to say something.

Li Yanjing noticed this and immediately said, "Dad, I'm a little tired today. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Hearing that he was tired, Li Dayuan had no choice but to let him go: "Okay, then you can go and rest first."

"Mm." Li Yanjing was the second to go upstairs after Ruan Chutong.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Li Dayuan's expression, Li Xinyan and Gao Mingcheng, who were waiting for an answer, instantly showed some regret.

"Dad, didn't you ask my brother what he wanted to order?"

"No, let them get some rest."

"Okay, I'm going upstairs now. Mingcheng, it's our group's turn to go out tomorrow."

Gao Mingcheng shrugged: "Yeah, it's a pity I can't watch the show at home."

As they went upstairs, Li Xinyan suddenly stopped and asked in a low voice, "You mean my brother? Is he secretly in love with Sister Tong?"
