Chapter 22 Cares a lot
  time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the fourth month of Chen Li's last days of existence.

There are still six months until the survival mission is completed.

During these four months, Su Ziying and Chen Li's life rhythms were very stable.

The red moon and mangrove trees have not changed much either.

However, Chen Li and Su Ziying discovered that the red moon would appear one night every other month.

The current red moon seems to have lost the sharp edge it first appeared. It cannot penetrate buildings and can only affect living beings that are directly illuminated.

When illuminated by the red moon once a month, the outside environment will undergo earth-shaking changes and its evolution will be rapidly accelerated.

This is why even though it has only been three months since humans disappeared, it seems like decades have passed to the outside world.

By now, the outside has completely turned into a forest, with mangroves interspersed among the green forests, becoming the most unique scenery in this forest city.

Today, their lives are as peaceful as a farm life.

Work at sunrise, live in and rest.

Chen Li farmed and cooked, while Su Ziying sang and read beside her.

Su Ziying was washing dishes and drying clothes, while Chen Li was exercising next to her.

In order to have more entertainment items, Chen Li also bought a few game consoles from the video game store outside.

In their spare time, the two often play two-player games together.

Of course, Su Ziying wasn't very interested in games at first, so Chen Li tricked her into it with the excuse of "I'm very involved in playing games, which will increase my mood swings."

But later on, it was Su Ziying who took the initiative to drag Chen Li into playing games.

Every once in a while, they would go out to hunt. Usually, Chen Li would be there to cheer them on, and Su Ziying could easily kill the prey in seconds.

However, when the two of them live together, there will inevitably be conflicts in life. Usually it is Chen Li who teases her a little too much, which makes Su Ziying really angry. However, under Chen Li's food offensive, she quickly falls for it and forgets her unhappiness.

Unknowingly, the two have truly formed a relationship of mutual dependence.

Now, Su Ziying's strength has been fully restored, more than 80% of what she expected at the time.

As early as two months ago, she had absorbed all the space research theories in this world.

Now, although she dare not say that she is a master of space theory, but with the power of the mind, she has reached an advanced level in the use of the power of space, and the success rate of traveling through the world has been greatly improved.

Now Su Ziying can guarantee that if there is no obstruction from the red moon and the red tree, she can 100% travel through the world. As long as she can successfully locate her original world, she can successfully return.

……

into the night.

Su Ziying took the vegetables in her hands and ate them one bite at a time.

Finding that she was eating slower than before and seemed to have no appetite, Chen Li asked, "What's wrong? Are these dishes not delicious?"

"good to eat."

"It's just...my strength has been fully restored now."

Hearing this, Chen Li was a little puzzled and asked:

"It's a good thing to regain strength. Why are you like this?"

"no……"

She shook her head and opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she hesitated and did not say anything.

"This isn't like you."

Chen Li saw that she seemed to be really worried about something, so he explained: "You used to speak your mind directly. Why have you become indecisive after you have been with me for a long time?"

After the words fell, Su Ziying was silent for a while and said:

"Then...let's talk after dinner."

"Row."

……

After dinner.

The sound of gurgling water came from the bathroom of Su Ziying's room.

She was taking a shower, while Chen Li was exercising in the living room.

Now Chen Li has a perfect figure. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has been completely transformed.

In the past, although Chen Li was handsome, he was a bit feminine and not tough enough.

Now he has a tall and straight posture. The effects of fitness have also eliminated the excess fat on his face, and his face has sharp lines.

Completely evolved into a sunny and handsome boy. Normally, Su Ziying would use her powers to help him get rid of his labor ailments.

Therefore, although the exercise method may not be so standard, his body did not leave any hidden injuries, and his body shape and muscle shape became perfect with the help of Su Ziying.

The improvement of physical fitness has also increased Chen Li's confidence in surviving when facing the red moon and mangrove trees in the future.

……

bathroom.

After taking a shower, Su Ziying soaked in the bathtub and stared at the ceiling in trance.

The reason why she was absent-minded while eating was because she suddenly realized something.

That was something she wouldn't have cared about four months ago.

But now she cares a lot.

I'm so worried that I can't even eat.

She slid her body down, letting the water in the bathtub cover her mouth, and continued to stare at the line on the horizontal plane in trance.

That thing was her only goal after coming to this apocalyptic world.

That means leaving here and returning to the original world.

Now her strength has been restored and she has the conditions to return to her original world.

If she were four months ago, she would have been eager to clean up the mangroves and prepare to travel around the world.

She and Chen Li still have an agreement.

Likewise, she would not have kept this agreement four months ago.

Even her thought at the time was that if she protected Chen Li for more than three days, her surname would not be Su.

But now, Su Ziying was subconsciously grateful that she had agreed to protect him for six months.

Because this gave her a reason to stay here.

"Chen Li is right. Leaving here is obviously a good thing, and it is what I have always hoped for."

"but why……"

"I'm a little scared now..."

What is she afraid of?
  In fact, she knew it, but she didn't dare to face it.

She was afraid of losing Chen Li.

She...is reluctant to let go.

And this idea also made Su Ziying feel a little inexplicable panic.

Do I...do I like him?

No, it's not possible...

As soon as this idea came up, she immediately rejected it subconsciously.

No matter what, Chen Li is just an old human being after all.

As a new human being, it is absolutely impossible for her to fall in love with the old humans.

But every time he thought that he would leave in six months and Chen Li would stay here alone, the sour and panic feelings would come quietly in his heart.

What... is this feeling?
  Su Ziyi, who had never been in love since she was a child and had never been exposed to anything between men and women, didn't understand.

In the past, she was very good at using her psychic powers to play with people's hearts.

But now that the person involved has become herself, she seems to be covered in a layer of fog and can't distinguish anything.

After a long time, she finally found what she thought was the truth.

Su Ziying said in her heart: "We have lived together for so many days, and he will make delicious food for me every day. It is normal for me to feel reluctant to leave him."

"Because I have regarded him as my companion."

"Well...and my own chef."

"Yes, that's right, that's it."

"Part of the reason why I don't want to let him go is because I want to eat the food he cooked, and the other part is just human nature. I've had a cat for four months, and I wouldn't let him go if we were to separate him, let alone that it's Chen Li. "

"It's impossible to like anything."

"After all...he is an old human being, even a special old human being."

After saying this to herself, Su Ziying breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more at ease inside.
