TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 112

Chapter 112: Little Calico Cat

Almost half an hour passed, and Gu Tangxi and the others finally smelled the fragrant aroma of rice, mixed with the sweet and glutinous scent of sweet potatoes.

Well, it seems this pot of sweet potato rice is a success!

Fortunately, they usually chose to camp in the remote wilderness to stay away from zombies, otherwise, this fragrant smell of food would have attracted countless “hungry ghosts.”

Hmm… Luo Shuyou’s roasted sweet potato was also a success, successfully roasted until it was pitch black, almost blending with the burnt wood ash. Luo Shuyou secretly peeked at it, good heavens, only the center showed a little red. What’s there to eat? Might as well eat ash.

While everyone’s attention was on the freshly cooked glutinous rice, Luo Shuyou guiltily looked left and right, hastily burying the ruined sweet potato in the charcoal ash.

Carefully checking that no trace was left, and giving it two more pats, Luo Shuyou patted his little hands, proudly thinking: Luckily, Youyou is smart, now no one will discover Youyou’s little burnt potato, hee hee!

Gu Tangxi and the others were finally ready to eat, simply and neatly filling a large bowl each. Oh, fragrant, soft, glutinous, and sweet sweet potato glutinous rice, it had been a long time since they had eaten it.

Xie YunChuan smelled the aroma and opened his eyes, leisurely walking over. As usual, he first looked in Luo Shuyou’s direction.

This look was terrible, he hadn’t watched Luo Shuyou for a moment, and his clean, white dough ball had turned into a black and white calico cat. His face, hands, and originally clean clothes, had a handprint here, a dark smudge there, simply a mess.

Forgetting his little tiff with Luo Shuyou, Xie YunChuan quickly walked to his side and pulled him up, “Youyou, what happened, huh? Did you burn yourself anywhere?”

While Xie YunChuan wiped Luo Shuyou’s dark little hands to check for burns, he internally blamed himself for leaving Luo Shuyou alone here. His Youbao was still so young and didn’t understand things, he shouldn’t have been mad at him.

Luo Shuyou didn’t understand what had happened, but he was very happy that his ChuanChuan was paying attention to him. He smiled brightly and hugged Xie YunChuan’s waist, happily saying, “ChuanChuan, you’re not mad at Youyou anymore? Hug Youyou, ChuanChuan hasn’t hugged Youyou in a long time.”

Xie YunChuan didn’t mind Luo Shuyou’s dirty little paws directly imprinting on him, and wrapped his arms around his back, softly saying, “Okay, hug, be good. Gege isn’t mad atguāiguāi – good boy, Gege is mad at himself, it’s not Youbao’s fault, baby is very good.”

At first, Xie YunChuan was indeed angry that Luo Shuyou couldn’t be reasoned with no matter what he said.

Later, Xie YunChuan was angry with himself for losing his temper with Luo Shuyou.

He was just sick, not deliberately acting that way, and besides, the reason Luo Shuyou had become like this was because he himself hadn’t protected him well.

Xie YunChuan thought a lot of jumbled things, recalling the loving details of his life with Luo Shuyou before the end of the world, recalling the difficult step-by-step journey to get to where they were now after the end of the world, recalling that Luo Shuyou had been getting better day by day since he was bitten.

Now he could speak fluently, perhaps Xie YunChuan should really be thankful that although Luo Shuyou was one of the unlucky millions who had been bitten, luckily, he was the special case among those millions of mutated zombies.

…

Gu Tangxi and the others finished dividing the rice and turned around. Gu Tangxi whispered, “Why are they hugging again?”

Gu Tangyue quietly replied, “Little lovers, arguing at the head of the bed, making up at the foot of it, ignore them.”

Gu Tangxi held two bowls of rice, one in each hand, extending the hand holding Xie YunChuan’s bowl a little, indicating to Xie YunChuan, “Are you still going to eat this rice?”

The reason for dividing so clearly who was who was because she couldn’t help but take a bite of her own bowl, so she had to recognize it properly, otherwise, if Xie YunChuan ate the bowl she had bitten, Xie YunChuan would kill her.

Xie YunChuan pulled Luo Shuyou towards the tent, leaving behind the sentence, “You guys eat first, I’ll take Youyou to wash up and change his clothes.”

Gu Tangxi put down the bowl of rice she was going to hand to Xie YunChuan and muttered, “Wash up? Wash up what? They can’t do anything in this open space, right? Besides, aren’t we all here?”

Gu Tangyue was already happily eating big mouthfuls, and had to take time out of her busy schedule to answer her sister’s confusing questions, saying in annoyance, “Wash what, what do you think they’re washing! Didn’t you see Luo Shuyou’s face and hands are all black, it must be from playing with fire just now, you’re still embarrassed to say that you were sitting by the fire the whole time, you didn’t even keep an eye on him.”

Don’t look at Xie YunChuan going out in the wind and rain every day, inevitably getting covered in mud and dust, Luo Shuyou was raised so delicately, every time he was clean and spotless, even Gu Tangyue and the other girls weren’t as clean as him.

Gu Tangxi stopped the action of stuffing rice into her mouth, chewed a mouthful of rice and swallowed, saying, “I swear, he was fine when I got up, I guarantee he was just poking around there with a stick, who knew that turning around for the time it took to serve rice would make him like that.”

Gu Tangyue glanced at her, saying, “That’s still your fault, don’t try to shirk responsibility.”

“Okay, okay, it’s my fault, I’m too lazy to argue with you, it’s affecting my speed of eating.” So what if it was her fault, Xie YunChuan wouldn’t come and hit her, washing up would fix it, anyway, Xie YunChuan had plenty of water.

The fact was that, as Gu Tangxi said, Luo Shuyou was just obediently poking around with a stick before she got up, because his little cleanliness was still there, instinctively rejecting touching dirty things.

But seeing the sweet potato burnt, he got anxious and started using his hands, and then he was busy destroying the evidence, so he started burying the sweet potato with his hands.

When Xie YunChuan came over to call him, he got excited and wiped his hands on his clothes a couple of times, and in the end, he became the little calico cat in Xie YunChuan’s eyes.

…

Compared to the two girls eating and swallowing large mouthfuls without regard for their image, Xu Yuze ate relatively elegantly, but his speed was no different, when Gu Tangxi and the two finished arguing and focused on eating, Xu Yuze’s bowl was already empty.

Full, but feeling unsatisfied, it had been a long time since he had eaten such a delicious meal.

Sure enough, following Gu Tangyue was the right thing to do, although it was just ordinary glutinous rice and sweet potatoes, without Gu Tangyue, who would bother to carry these cooking tools wherever they went?

They couldn’t even carry all the life-saving stuff, as for food, they all picked some fast food that could be opened and eaten.
