Rebirth: Love in the Apocalypse - Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Kiss
At first, Qin Wu thought Mo Chenxuan was reacting to her suggestive words.

However, she soon realised her guess was wrong.

After all, she had seen the man blush before.

When Mo Chenxuan blushed, only his ears turned red, but this time, his face looked like a boiled lobster.

“Brother Chenxuan…” She called, but Mo Chenxuan didn’t answer.

Instead, he pulled her into the house and closed the door behind them.

Only after doing this did he look at Qin Wu.

“Wu’er, my superpower is about to advance to level two.” He said in a strained voice.

When she heard this, Qin Wu was shocked.

In her previous life, she and Mo Chenxuan did not advance until three months into the apocalypse.

Unexpectedly, in this life, it was only the fourth day, but Mo Chenxuan was about to advance.

However, after thinking about it, she felt it wasn’t unreasonable.

Since the apocalypse began, she and Mo Chenxuan had been drinking space water.

In addition, they often exhausted and replenished their superpower.

Mo Chenxuan was even more extreme.

He used his spiritual power all the time, even when they were sleeping. This way, he would notice zombies and robbers as soon as they appeared.

‘He has been working hard.’ Qin Wu thought and unconsciously smiled.

“Brother Chenxuan, hurry up and go to your space. I will wait here.” Qin Wu said.

Soon after, Mo Chenxuan entered his space, and Qin Wu sighed.

‘I also need to work hard.’ She thought.

Knowing they didn’t have much time, Qin Wu didn’t slack.

She found the villa’s water boiler, emptied it, and thoroughly cleaned it with space water.

After cleaning it, she used her water element superpower to fill the tank before switching the power on.

‘It will take several hours for the water to boil. I should do other things while I wait.’ She thought.

After that, Qin Wu busied herself.

First, she soaked the crystal cores in a mixture of hers and Mo Chenxuan’s space water.

Following that, she cooked fifty kilograms of rice.

If she and Mo Chenxuan were ordinary people, fifty kilograms was enough for more than eight months.

However, superpowers had higher appetites than ordinary people.

If she and Mo Chenxuan ate three meals daily, fifty kilograms of rice were only enough for two months.

While the rice was cooking, Qin Wu began to marinate the meat and prepare other ingredients.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and before she knew it, it was five hours later.

At this time, Qin Wu was emptying the water boiler when she heard a sound from behind her.

She reflexively turned and only relaxed when she saw Mo Chenxuan.

“Brother Chenxuan, how are you?” She asked, running towards the man.

“I am fine. I have advanced.” Mo Chenxuan smiled.

“Congratulations.”

“Thank you.” The man said while pulling Qin Wu into his arms.

After hugging for a minute, the two separated, and Mo Chenxuan looked around in curiosity.

“What are you up to?” He asked.

Hearing the question, Qin Wu immediately became a little proud.

“I have boiled five hundred litres of water, cooked fifty kilograms of rice, marinated meat, and cleaned and chopped vegetables. Have I done well?” Qin Wu asked, and Mo Chenxuan couldn’t help but feel distressed.

“You have done well, but have you eaten? Are you tired?”

When she heard the questions, Qin Wu smiled, and her eyes softened.

“I drank space water, so I am not too tired.” She said.

“Sit down first.”

“I…” Qin Wu started, looking at the water boiler.

“Don’t worry. I will deal with the water.”

“Okay.”

After storing the boiled water, the two ate before resuming their preparations.

With Mo Chenxuan’s help, the work was much easier.

The two cooked dozens of dishes, including beef stew, chicken curry, sweet and sour fish, egg drop soup, twice-cooked pork, sour fish soup, mung beans soup, hot and sour shredded potatoes, kung pao chicken, dumplings, noodles, steamed fish, egg fried rice, shrimp fried rice, pancakes, fried dough sticks…

By the time they showered and went to sleep, it was already two in the morning.

Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu woke up at seven the next day.

After cleaning up and having breakfast, they left some water to boil before entering Qin Wu’s space.

At first, Mo Chenxuan only planned to prepare one acre of land.

However, he advanced and had more energy.

As a result, he ploughed two acres of land and helped Qin Wu plant some vegetable and fruit seeds.

They planted cabbages, carrots, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, garlic, ginger, radish, cucumbers, eggplants, sweet potatoes and strawberries.

After lunch, the two siphoned fuel from the cars they collected.

In this way, they filled three cars, including the Hummer and reserved an extra one thousand litres for emergencies.

Knowing they would leave the next day, the two didn’t work until the middle of the night.

Instead, they worked until seven, showered, and had dinner together.

After dinner, they did the dishes before resting in the sitting room.

“I am a bit reluctant.” Qin Wu said, and Mo Chenxuan nodded in understanding.

Although they had been working hard since the apocalypse began, their life was pretty leisurely.

However, everything would change when they got on the road.

Not only could they not enter the space as they wished, but they would often have to sleep in crowded and dirty places.

Thinking of this, Mo Chenxuan pulled Qin Wu into his arms.

“Wu’er,..” He suddenly called.

“Mmmh.”

“I love you.” He said.

When Qin Wu heard that, her heart skipped a beat.

Even without the words, she knew Mo Chenxuan loved her.

However, she was still happy to hear the words.

With a happy smile, she raised her head and looked at the man.

“I love you too.” She said.

Hearing that, Mo Chenxuan smiled and lowered his head.

After a breathless moment, their lips touched, and the world turned upside down.

Qin Wu felt a tingle from where their lips met, and before she knew it, every inch of her body was throbbing in excitement.
