Chapter 14 Dad, Sleep Together

When he returned home, Chu Donglin saw the little girl curled up in the corner of the room and was stunned for a moment.

"Shishi, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Donglin walked over, picked up the little girl in confusion and asked, "Why did you come here?"

With the light of the flashlight, the little girl stared at him blankly.

Then the little girl buried her head in Chu Donglin's arms, opened her little hand and hugged Chu Donglin, "I'm afraid... Dad, it's so dark..."

Chu Donglin was completely stunned. Although the little girl took the initiative to answer his questions made him very happy, what did this little girl call him? Dad? Just kidding, is this little girl’s memory confused?

He picked up the little girl, looked at her seriously, and asked, "Shishi, do you still remember who I am?"

In the light of the flashlight, the little girl stared at him blankly without reaction. In this way, the two of them stared at each other with big eyes for a long time, and Chu Donglin announced his surrender.

"Okay OK, okay, let's not discuss this for now. Let's go to bed first, okay? So late, you're sleepy, aren't you?"

The little girl looked at him blankly, tilted her head and thought for a while, reached out and touched her stomach, as if she was very aggrieved, "Hungry..."

Chu Donglin was ashamed, and then he remembered that the last time the little girl had eaten several hours ago.

He is a zombie and has no sense of hunger for the time being, so he didn't realize he was going to have to eat. Otherwise, according to human habits, it would have passed the supper time.

"Sorry, I accidentally forgot...sweat..."

With a little awkward smile, Chu Donglin put the little girl on the sofa and said, "Shishi, you sit here and wait for me. I'll prepare dinner for you... Uh... Shishi, how about eating instant noodles for dinner? It's not okay to eat bread and snacks all the time?"

The little girl still stared at him blankly without reaction.

Chu Donglin shrugged, turned around and walked into the kitchen. Under the illumination of the flashlight, ignite the fire, boil water, and then prepare instant noodles.

Although instant noodles are usually not nutritious, in the end of the world, being able to eat a bite of hot is a luxury for survivors.

Eating a bowl of hot instant noodles like Chu Donglin is an unattainable dream for most survivors.

Of course, Chu Donglin felt that since he had the ability, he must prepare better food for the little girl.

Now that I have just moved in here, I am not ready, so I can only deal with it casually. I can't let the little girl eat instant noodles every day in the future.

While he waited for the water to boil, he was thinking about whether to plant a few vegetable gardens on the rooftop.

Anyway, the building is all his, and no one cares about him even if he farms in his room. If he only grows some ordinary cabbage and green onions, with Chu Donglin's experience of working in the rural areas of his hometown, there is basically no problem.

Uh... Maybe consider raising some chickens and ducks?

However, you can go to the wholesale market to find rapeseed, but it is a bit troublesome for chickens.

Now that the end of the world has been outbreak for more than ten days, there are probably not many chickens in the chicken farm. Most of the eggs in the city are not native eggs, and they can’t apply chickens at all... Oh, forget it, get the vegetable garden out first, and consider the chicken raising matters later.

After the water boiled, Chu Donglin skillfully soaked the instant noodles and brought them to the dining table in the living room. Then he carried the little girl to the dining table and sat down, "Eat, Shishi, be careful of hot."

The light of the strong flashlight was too dazzling, and he was afraid of hurting the little girl's eyes, so Chu Donglin brought a few spare parts. He usually used ordinary household flashlights for lighting.

In the slightly dim light of the flashlight, the little girl looked at him sitting opposite him blankly, silly without reaction.

Just when Chu Donglin thought this little girl was dissatisfied with the food, Shishi spoke.

"Dad, don't you eat it?"

She pointed to Chu Donglin's empty face and asked blankly.

Chu Donglin was stunned for a moment, and a warm feeling rose in his heart.

In the little girl's unsightly gaze, Chu Donglin smiled and said, "I've eaten it, just eat Shishi."

Although the name of the little girl made him feel a little strange, the warm feeling was enough to dilute these strange feelings.

Chu Donglin touched the little guy's head and smiled with relief, "So don't worry about me, just eat quickly."

The little girl stared at his smile blankly, and was stunned for a long time before nodding, lowered her head and picked up the foam noodles, and started eating in small bites.

When the little girl finished her instant noodles, Chu Donglin wiped the corners of her mouth clean and walked to her bedroom to prepare to let the little girl go to bed, but a new situation happened.

"Dad, sleep together."

The little girl lay in the quilt, reached out and grabbed Chu Donglin's hand, and said timidly, "Shi Shi is afraid..."

Chu Donglin looked at the little girl's still empty and focal-free vision, sighed, got into the quilt, and lay with the little girl, "Okay, sleep together."

Although the bed was a little small and could not accommodate two people sleeping at the same time, Chu Donglin, who was lying on it, had half of his body hanging by the bed, which was really uncomfortable.

But when he saw the little girl's dazed gaze and thinking about the hardships this little girl had suffered before, Chu Donglin really could not refuse her request.

When he got into the quilt, the little girl hugged Chu Donglin and stepped into his arms, "Dad, good night."

Chu Donglin couldn't help laughing. As a young man who had just turned 21 years old, he was called "Dad" by someone who hadn't even had a girlfriend. This feeling was really strange.

He reached out and touched the little girl's head, feeling that he still had to change the strange name of the little girl, "Shishi, why do you always call me dad?"

The little girl didn't respond.

"Okay, then let's talk about it another way... Well, Shishi, do you still remember me? Didn't you call me my elder brother before? Why did you upgrade to dad this time?"

The little girl still didn't respond.

"Do you still remember Uncle Li? He is your father. I don't even have a girlfriend. How could there be such a big daughter...uh... Although I would be very happy if I really had such a cute daughter like you, I am really not your father."

No response.

"Don't call me dad in the future, okay? Just call me elder brother just like before...uh...Shishi?Shishi?"

A slight snoring sound came, and Chu Donglin was stunned, and then he realized that the little girl had fallen asleep in his arms at some point.

Looking at the little girl's sleeping side face, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Okay, you're sleeping quite fast..."

However, the little girl has been abused and beaten for a while. Now she has finally escaped from the tiger's mouth. After relaxing her tense spirit, she has been feeling tired and fell asleep quickly.

After staying in the dark for more than half an hour, Chu Donglin walked out of bed carefully and tried not to make any noise to touch the next bedroom.

After all, the bed in this bedroom was too small, and he felt uncomfortable lying on it.

And even zombies need to hibernate.

Although generally speaking, zombies do not require hours of sleep like humans.

However, when you don’t act, putting yourself into a dormant state will help reduce energy consumption and speed up the healing speed of wounds.

When Chu Donglin hunted the mutant zombie before, a big hole was opened in his chest and has not yet been completely restored.

And as a zombie with human consciousness, maintaining sleep at night, a habit that only humans have, can also give Chu Donglin some psychological comfort - at least he has not completely turned into a zombie, at least he is not the same as those human-eating monsters.

Lying on the bed, Chu Donglin closed his eyes, relaxed his brain's energy delivery to all parts of his body, and soon entered a semi-silent dormant state.

The bedroom in the dark gradually came to fruition, and only a ray of dim moonlight shone silently.

But soon, Chu Donglin woke up again - he felt the bedroom door being pushed open.

Sitting up from the bed, Chu Donglin saw the little girl Shishi standing blankly at the door in her nightgown.

In the darkness, the little girl's shiny eyes looked at him for a long time.

Then the little girl came over, got into his quilt for granted, and fell asleep with one of Chu Donglin's arm in his arms, "Dad, sleep together."

Looking at the little girl's side face with a wry smile, Chu Donglin shook his head and gave up struggling, "Okay, let's sleep together."

As he said that, Chu Donglin also lay down.
