Chapter 113 (Window Paper)
"Then...why did you give it to me?" Gu Chaochao's mind went blank for a moment, and when he came to his senses, the question had already been asked.
Shen Mu looked at her deeply, and Gu Chaochao's heart beat again when he stared at her.
After a long time, he said lightly, "I don't like sweets."
Gu Chaochao suddenly remembered that he had said this before, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, ignoring the little loss in his heart and joking with him: "Scare me. One jump, I thought you had a crush on me."
Shen Mushen was silent.
Gu Chaochao cleared his throat: "It's fine if you're not angry, then I'll go first."
After speaking, he put the two packets of candy into his arms again, and then turned to leave.
The door closed behind her, and her tense shoulders finally relaxed. I stood alone at the door of the room for a while, and then walked downstairs absentmindedly.
She seemed to think a lot, but she didn't seem to think about anything, and she walked downstairs unconsciously.
The moment she walked out of the doorway, there was a sudden chill on the side of her ear, and she instinctively threw her backhand over her shoulder, and the next second, the dull sound of the flesh and the scream rang out.
Gu Chaochao snapped back to his senses, only to realize that he had dropped Li Sheng, so he quickly went to help him: "Are you okay?"
"Don't touch me!" Li Sheng cried out in pain while hugging her twisted arm, " Let me slow down!"
"You deserve it, who told you not to say hello in advance." Ellie also came out of the corner, bowed at him and looked at Gu Chaochao with a smile.
Gu Chao twitched the corner of his mouth and looked along the route she came from, and saw seven or eight squatting in the corner.
"...what are you doing?" she asked silently.
Ellie smiled: "It's nothing, I just came to ask you, did the captain let you in?"
"Yes, is there something wrong?" Gu Chaochao was puzzled.
Ellie's eyes lit up: "Then are you being blasted out now, or did you come out by yourself?"
"Of course you came out by yourself, why did the captain blast me when I have nothing to do?" You're not mad at me."
Allie got the answer she wanted, she was instantly satisfied, and arrogantly reached out to someone on the ground: "Meal card."
Li Sheng took out the meal card from his pocket and gave it to her with a bitter face.
Gu Chaochao gradually understood, and suddenly stared: "Ellie! You guys are taking my crisis as a gamble!"
"Please eat roast chicken." Ellie slapped the meal card directly on her hand.
Gu Chaochao's face suddenly changed, and he covered his mouth with a pretentious smile: "I'm so sorry."
Ellie rolled her eyes at her, and then she thought of something, and immediately pulled her aside and asked in a low voice, "How old is the captain?"
"… Why are you asking this question again." Gu Chaochao had a headache.
Ellie slapped her angrily: "Don't come, I asked you before, and you said you didn't get to this point, but this time you have even entered other people's rooms, so you are not allowed to perfunctory me any more."
"I have nothing to do with him now . To the point where you can see how big it is." Gu Chaochao was at peace after being misunderstood several times.
"How is that possible! You are alone in the same room, it's impossible for nothing to happen." Ellie refused to believe it.
"Let's not talk about whether you have the right to take off your pants when you are alone in the same room, let's just say that it's impossible that nothing happened," Gu Chaochao squinted her, "I've been there for twenty minutes, right? The captain is a double-S-level ability user, and you want something to happen in twenty minutes, do you look down on the captain a little?"
Ellie: "..."
"Remember to explain it to them for me." Gu Chaochao patted it. On her shoulders, she decisively left with her own candy.
Ellie watched her go away without a word. As soon as her back disappeared, a group of people gathered around and asked her if she had heard anything. One of the girls looked expectant and asked if they were indescribable. .
Ellie glanced at her faintly: "Do you look down on the captain?" The
girl: "?"
When they were busy gossiping, Gu Chaochao had already returned to the residence. As soon as he entered, he locked the door and took out a candy and threw it into his mouth. .
The soft and fragrant taste of milk candy spread in her mouth, she went to lie down on the bed, and quietly enjoyed the hard-won sweetness in this apocalypse.
Sugar improves people's sense of happiness. After eating a piece of candy, she took a deep breath with satisfaction. She actually felt that Shen Mushen was very kind to her. After all, such a precious thing was only given to her.
Gu Chaochao rolled twice on the bed, and was called by Ellie to sort out the supplies.
When Gu Chaochao arrived, the warehouse was full of people and was arranging in full swing. Ellie gave her a push and asked her to help carry the box of flour down.
Gu Chaochao moved his legs a bit, then he carried it and left.
Ellie applauded from the side: "I knew it would be possible to find you! Then I'll leave it to you."
Gu Chaochao agreed with a light snort.
Ellie left with a smile. After thinking of something, she turned back: "Don't steal food. Stealing supplies is a serious violation of discipline. Not only the amount of fines, but also corporal punishment. In serious cases, you may be fired."
Gu Chaochao was white. She glanced at her: "Even if I have a good appetite, I won't steal raw flour, right?"
Ellie covered her mouth and smiled: "Anyway, you can remember." After speaking, she turned her head and left.
Gu Chaochao carried the flour to where it should be, patted the dust on his body, and carried the next box on his back. After going back and forth a few times, she finally understood why Ellie said that—the
people not far away were carrying sweet potatoes.
"It would be so sweet if I could bake one." Gu Chaochao sighed.
Li Sheng, who was recording the words, quickly reminded: "Don't steal it!"
"Don't eat it!" Gu Chaochao said with a strong backbone, but silently swallowed.
Li Sheng didn't trust her self-control very much. When he was about to say something to scare her, he caught a glimpse of Shen Mushen coming. He immediately pulled someone over and told him to look at Gu Chaochao before turning around to look for it. Shen Mushen: "Captain, the data has been recorded."
When Gu Chaochao heard him speak, he turned his head subconsciously, and caught Shen Mushen's eyes off guard. After their eyes met, they quickly separated. Gu Chaochao brushed his messy hair and continued to work hard.
After Li Sheng said a few words with the data book, he looked up and saw that Shen Mushen was looking after Gu Chaochao, he couldn't help laughing: "She saw sweet potatoes just now, and she was so greedy that her saliva came out, I was afraid she made a mistake, so I asked someone to watch her."
Shen Mushen looked down at the data book: "Don't stare, she is measured."
"Okay." Li Sheng nodded, and when Shen Mushen read the data, he was responsible for staring at Gu Chaochao. The person called back.
The amount of materials donated by Academician Li was very large, and dozens of mercenaries kept busy until late at night, barely able to get two-thirds of them.
After one o'clock in the morning, everything was finally sorted out, the mercenaries left one after another, and finally only a few backbones were left to gather together for a meeting. Gu Chaochao was going to leave, but when he passed by these people, Allie suddenly gave her a hand: "We're almost over here, wait for me."
Gu Chaochao looked at Shen Mushen subconsciously, and seeing that he had no objection, he He sat down next to Ellie, and on the other side of her was Shen Mushen.
"There is no problem with these supplies for another two months. We don't have to take any more work before spring, and we can take a rest." Qian Ci said in a good mood after finishing the account.
When everyone heard it, their faces were relieved. After all, no one wanted to take on a mission in a cold weather. It was too painful.
Gu Chaochao leaned into Ellie's ear and asked in a low voice, "In other words, you don't have to do anything for the next two months?
" You don't need to take up difficult tasks," Ellie explained with a smile, "This kind of task is not too difficult, and generally it won't fall on your head."
Gu Chaochao's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Ellie was about to nod her head when suddenly What came to mind: "Ah, yes, you are a third-class soldier. This kind of task is usually done by the third to fifth class, so you may still get your turn."
Gu Chaochao: "..."
Everyone opened for another ten minutes. Yes, it's finally over. Gu Chaochao yawned and wanted to leave with Ellie. Shen Mushen sat on the ground and continued to read the report, and said without raising his head: "Gu Chaochao stay."
Ellie immediately pushed Gu Chaochao, smiled and left with the others.
Soon there were only two people left in the warehouse. Gu Chaochao looked
up sleepily, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Captain, what's the matter with me staying here?" form.
Gu Chaochao opened his eyes wide: "No, Captain, I've been working all night, you still let me do this?"
"Don't bargain." Shen Mu looked up at her deeply.
"...If I had known, I wouldn't stay." Gu Chaochao muttered, sat down resignedly, and began to organize one by one.
The warehouse was quiet again, except for the soft sound of paper rubbing. Gu Chaochao couldn't help closing his eyes when he was half way through, but he really fell asleep like this.
Shen Mushen recorded the last point, and when he looked up, he saw that she was sitting down like an old monk, holding a few sheets and sleeping seriously.
There was a chuckle in his throat, and the tiredness in his eyes lightened slightly.
I didn't expect her to do anything for me at first, and seeing her falling asleep at the moment, I resigned myself to clean up, and only woke her up when everything was in order.
"Huh?" Gu Chaochao abruptly opened his eyes, and without focusing his eyes, he began to explain seriously, "I didn't sleep, I just closed my eyes."
"Go back and rest." Shen Mushen got up.
Gu Chaochao blinked, and then looked at the messed up piece of paper, which he had already cleaned up. She stood up lazily, and complained while following him out: "You said that you are not good at others, so you can clean up yourself, why bother pulling me to stay up all night, do you know that sleeping in such a cold place is easy to catch a cold? "..."
"Didn't you say you didn't sleep?" Shen Mushen interrupted slowly.
Gu Chaochao paused, then coughed for a while: "I didn't sleep, I was just making an analogy."
Shen Mushen looked at the road ahead, his eyes softened.
Gu Chaochao touched his nose and quietly followed behind him.
Winter is coming to an end, and the snow on the roadside has a tendency to melt, but the air is getting drier and colder. When walking on the road, you can hear the sound of crunching ice under your feet.
When they reached the fork in the road, Gu Chaochao waved actively: "Good night, Captain."
Shen Mu stared at her for a moment, then suddenly said, "At nine o'clock tomorrow night, go somewhere with me."
"Why? "Gu Chaochao was immediately alert, "Isn't there any secret mission?"
"I'll wait for you at the entrance of the registration office, don't be late." Shen Mushen left after finishing speaking.
Gu Chaochao was immediately dissatisfied: "Captain, you can't do this, I haven't agreed yet! At least you can tell me the difficulty of the task!"
As Shen Mushen went further and further, her voice became louder and louder. The tail didn't turn back, so she turned around a few times in anger, and finally she could only go back to her residence angrily.
Thanks to Shen Mushen's blessing, she woke up early the next morning, and the first thing she did when she woke up was to go to Li Sheng Ajun and others, trying to find out what the mission was. However, she was destined to be disappointed, because she asked around and no one knew what Shen Mushen was going to take her out tonight.
...It seems to be a rather difficult task. As soon as Gu Chaochao thought of this possibility, his appetite was not good at dinner, so he ate two buns less than usual.
After finally staying up until nine o'clock in the evening, she changed into her combat uniform and went out. Shen Mushen waited at the registration desk as scheduled, and only said two words when she saw her: "Get in the car."
Gu Chaochao sat on the deputy with a sad face The driver waited for the car to start before asking, "Captain, can you tell me what the mission is now?"
"Have you asked Li Sheng about them?" Shen Mushen drove the car idly.
Gu Chaochao immediately expressed his loyalty: "I'm just taking a side shot, and I definitely didn't reveal what happened tonight."
"Mm." Shen Mu responded deeply.
Gu Chaochao took a breath: "So can you say what the mission is?"
Shen Mushen just glanced at her: "It's not a task."
"...What is that?" Gu Chaochao was puzzled.
"It's a reward," Shen Mushen stepped on the accelerator, and the speed of the jeep suddenly increased, "a reward for your hard work yesterday."
"...It seems that the subsidy for your work has already been paid?" Gu Chaochao hesitated.
"It's your reward for helping me sort out the form." Shen Mushen pointed it out directly.
Gu Chaochao: "..."
There was a sudden silence in the carriage, leaving only the humming of the engine in disrepair, filling the eardrums of the two of them.
The people around her were too quiet, and Shen Mushen couldn't help but glance at her, only to meet her indescribable eyes.
Shen Mu paused for a while: "What's wrong?"
"...Captain," Gu Chaochao's expression was complicated, "I admit that I fell asleep accidentally yesterday, and I didn't do the work you explained, but you don't need to take revenge on me. "
Shen Mushen: "..."
"Why did you take me out in the middle of the night, to feed the zombies? Or do you want to find a place to throw me away?" Gu Chaochao's brain was wide open, "Or go a little farther, Ask me to go back by myself, or say which institute do you want to send me to..."
"Gu Chaochao." Shen Mushen saw that she was getting more and more outrageous, so she stopped her directly.
Gu Chaochao was delighted: "So, don't make me guess, just tell me why you took me out." As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Mushen turned
the steering wheel abruptly, and the body drifted and stopped. down.
"Get out of the car." Shen Mu gave her a deep look, then pushed open the car door and went out.
Gu Chaochao stretched his head and glanced at it, and found that this was the riverside where he grilled fish for himself last time.
...the reward is grilled fish? Gu Chaochao looked at him hesitantly, but found that he had no intention of going into the water.
"Not coming down yet?" Shen Mu looked at her deeply.
Gu Chaochao got out of the car quickly, and then saw that he took a shovel from the trunk and started digging a hole in the ground.
"Captain, what are you doing?" Gu Chaochao approached curiously.
Shen Mushen knelt down on one knee and acted neatly: "Dig a hole and bury you."
"...It's scary." Gu Chaochao said, but he didn't forget to take another military shovel to help.
The two quickly dug a pit, and Shen Mushen found some dry wood racks and started burning it. Gu Chaochao couldn't understand him at all at this moment, so he simply sat on the side of the fire and opened his eyes in shock until he took out a bag of sweet potatoes from the trunk: "The reward is roasted sweet potatoes?!
" With a sound, she looked up to see her surprised expression, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but bend.
Gu Chaochao immediately came up: "But, but for stealing things from the warehouse, don't you want to be fired?"
"Who can fire me?" Shen Mushen threw the sweet potato into the pit, buried it directly with soil, and continued to set fire on the soil. .
Gu Chaochao was stunned for a while, and his face suddenly moved: "Captain, you are so fucking handsome when you pretend to be a public servant." Before he finished speaking
, his head was knocked: "Don't learn such foul language from Li Sheng and the others."
Gu Chaochao didn't mind either . , smiled and helped beside him.
The sweet potatoes were cooked quickly, and after eating the fragrant and sweet roasted sweet potatoes, Gu Chaochao complimented without hesitation. Shen Mu lowered his eyes deeply, not knowing if he heard it or not.
"But speaking of it, Captain, are you being too kind to me?" Gu Chaochao finished eating what was in his hand and went to get a new one.
Shen Mushen directly handed her the biggest piece: "How's it going?"
"Leave all the toffee to me, and bring me to bake sweet potatoes, and even catch fish for me to eat before, have you never treated anyone like this before? "Gu Chaochao asked while eating, because there was something in his mouth when he spoke, and the words were a little unclear, and it sounded soft.
Shen Mushen fiddled with the fire with a branch: "Well, no."
"That's right," Gu Chaochao analyzed with reason, "Usually a man is so kind to a woman, either he wants to pick her up, or he provides emotional value to drain her last bit of value, which kind are you? The
branch in Shen Mushen's hand suddenly stopped, and after a moment of silence, he raised his head: "What kind of person do you think I am?"
Gu Chaochao smiled, but after meeting his eyes the next second, he couldn't smile.
