Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 239 Yao Wei Reads Comics - Study Hard

Some actions become second nature, so they can't be done half-heartedly. Lu Xi'an subconsciously moved closer, and Yao Wei unconsciously parted her lips slightly. Everything was so natural, without anyone needing to announce each action in advance.

This is exactly what is meant by "things will fall into place naturally".

After a short while, Yao Wei suddenly came to her senses, shrank back, and frowned.

As their lips parted, Lu Xi'an thought his abruptness had displeased the woman, and immediately wanted to apologize.

However, before he could speak, he heard Yao Wei smack her lips and murmur, "Why doesn't my heart beat faster or feel out of control this time?"

Lu Xian: "..."

So, Yao Wei's hesitation and frown were because she was struggling with this?

Yao Wei's body was still pressed against his, allowing him to feel her body temperature, and he quickly warmed up.

Lu Xi'an thought for a moment and said, "You've probably gotten used to it. Like at the beginning, you would get nervous if we just touched each other lightly, but then you were fine. It has to be like that to make you nervous."

"And now, you've gone a step further. You've gradually adapted and can fully immerse yourself in the role without having any major psychological reaction."

"Hmm... to put it another way, it's like desensitization, right?"

Yao Wei quickly understood, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Is it like the training Liu Hua gave us?"

Lu Xi'an was surprised that Yao Wei could apply what she learned to other situations, and said with a smile, "Yes, just like that, she gradually developed resistance after being repeatedly attacked by Liu Hua's pheromones."

"Ah That's good."

As Yao Wei spoke, she moved closer without needing Lu Xi'an to guide her any further.

Lu Xi'an was slightly taken aback, but then she let go of her inhibitions and wholeheartedly responded.

Breathing is like the intertwined tails of a comet, gradually throwing one into disarray.

Yao Wei gradually lost herself in the moment, forgetting to use her hands to block as before, and instead wrapped her arms around Lu Xi'an's neck.

After a long while, she came to her senses and quickly shrank her neck back, asking Lu Xi'an, "If we're going to continue, should it be like in the comics?"

Her heart was still beating a little fast, but it didn't feel the same as before. It wasn't the feeling of losing control; it was just that something was pushing her to go further and further.

She had already noticed Lu Xi'an's physical reaction, and now she also felt her own body reacting. Recalling the contents of the comic book that Lu Xi'an had read, she gradually felt a little uneasy.

Fortunately, she seemed to be able to control this unease, so she didn't rush to leave.

Lu Xi'an gently stroked Yao Wei's slightly disheveled hair and said softly, "You can do it that way, or you don't have to."

At this moment, Yao Wei's face had a touch more allure, but the strong and heroic spirit between her brows remained. The sharp edges and gentleness blended together so harmoniously, making her exceptionally beautiful.

A rush of air made Lu Xi'an feel a cool sensation on his lips, and he wanted to fill them with something. However, Yao Wei had already stepped back, so he respected her decision and didn't go forward again.

Unexpectedly, Yao Wei stared straight into his eyes and asked, "No need for that, what should I do?"

What should I do...?

Lu Xi'an understood.

It turns out that Yao Wei has stopped being resistant. Some things, indeed, only have the distinction of zero times or countless times.

"That's how you do it."

He told Yao Wei, and then reattached the sticker, searching for Yao Wei's lips, nose, chin, earlobes, and neck...

He was stopped by Yao Wei when he tried to go down further.

"No way."

Yao Wei said, "Let's leave it at that, otherwise... I'll start to feel out of control again."

Lu Xi'an had no choice but to stop and said, "Is it okay to hug for a while?"

Yao Wei hesitated slightly, yet seemed reluctant to leave Lu Xi'an's embrace, caught in a dilemma.

Lu Xi'an said, "Then turn around and I'll hug you from behind."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded, turned around, and let Lu Xi'an's hand gently wrap around her and place it on her lower abdomen.

Are you warm now?

Yao Wei asked.

"Hmm, it's warm now."

Lu Xi'an replied, "Thank you."

Yao Wei didn't speak, but lay quietly with Lu Xi'an. She felt some discomfort in her back, so she put her hand down to cover herself a little.

"..."

Lu Xi'an could only smell the scent of Yao Wei's hair, kiss it gently, and say nothing.

After a long while, the two got out of bed and began preparing dinner.

The meal was naturally prepared by Lu Xi'an, who had promised to make steamed eggs for Yao Wei.

Yao Wei, however, made Lu Xi'an take off his pajama bottoms and put on another pair, and then washed Lu Xi'an's clothes.

She noticed, and had encountered before, that Lu Xi'an's pants were somewhat wet.

When Lu Xi'an made the pajamas before, she made two pairs of pajamas and two pairs of pajama bottoms, one short and one long. Now that the short pair needs to be washed, she can put on the long pair instead.

Yao Wei's actions made Lu Xi'an a little embarrassed, but seeing that Yao Wei's expression was natural and perfectly normal, he could only force himself to remain calm and changed his pants as instructed. "Actually, I can wash them myself..."

When Lu Xi'an finished changing, he said this to Yao Wei.

But Yao Wei had already snatched the pants away: "You cook, I'll wash them."

Lu Xian: "..."

He had no choice but to take two eggs, crack them into Yao Wei's bowl, and stir them with chopsticks while explaining to Yao Wei: "There's another way to cook steamed eggs, called water-steamed eggs. If you do it well, the surface will be very smooth and tender. When you pour on the sauce, it becomes soft and bouncy, and the taste and texture are very different."

"However, we don't have the right conditions right now, and my skills aren't good enough, so I probably won't be able to make it as smooth. There will definitely be a lot of small air holes on the surface. But it's okay, the sauce also lacks variety. But it's okay, I think it will still taste good."

"Ah."

Yao Wei responded as she washed the pants made from bed sheets.

Lu Xian: "..."

He silently stirred the eggs, then added water, set up the pot, and placed Yao Wei's bowl in the same pot with water.

Limited by circumstances, this was the only way he could manage. If he could find a steamer later, that would be much better.

After steaming the eggs, Yao Wei washed his bed sheets and shorts and hung them on the makeshift clothes rack in the RV to dry.

Afterwards, she changed her own pants, washed them, and hung them out to dry.

Lu Xi'an looked on, unsure of what to say, thinking that it seemed he wasn't the only one affected.

This eased his embarrassment slightly, but it was still difficult to bring up the topic.

Yao Wei, after hanging up her own pajama bottoms, said to Lu Xi'an, "We can't do this anymore. It's too much trouble and a waste of water."

What could Lu Xi'an say? He could only reply, "Yes, you're right, I'll listen to you."

In a short while, the steamed egg was ready. Lu Xi'an lifted the lid of the pot to look, and hot steam shot into the sky. When the white mist dissipated, the liquid in the bowl inside the pot, which was originally only half full, had turned into more than half full of solid.

Because the foam on the surface wasn't skimmed off beforehand, the pale yellow steamed egg had a layer of air holes on its surface, which gradually filled the top of the bowl, but it didn't actually affect the appearance.

For Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, this bowl of steamed eggs was still incredibly appetizing.

Lu Xi'an waited a while before taking out the bowl that had cooled down a bit. There were no other seasonings, so she just poured soy sauce on it. She tried a small sip and thought it was pretty good. Although it tasted different from the one in her previous life, it was still enough to make her nostalgic and reminisce.

"Come on, try it."

He scooped up a large spoonful, held it to Yao Wei's mouth, and waited for her to open her mouth before putting the spoon in. Then, he waited for her to close her mouth before pulling the spoon out.

That spoonful of steamed egg had already remained in Yao Wei's mouth.

"How about it?"

Lu Xian asked.

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded and said, "It's delicious."

So the two of them each took a spoon and shared the bowl of steamed egg. Even after they finished eating, they still found it incredibly delicious.

Lu Xi'an asked, "Are you still hungry? Would you like some more?"

Yao Wei shook her head and said, "That's enough for tonight. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Lu Xi'an then cleaned up the pots, pans, and spoons.

After tidying up, I noticed that Yao Wei had somehow found a book to read.

His eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed, "What do you think of this book?!"

The book in Yao Wei's hand was none other than the comic book that Luo Ping had given her when they were in the wilderness of Fengcheng County.

Later, at the shelter at the entrance of Tan Village, Yao Wei glanced at the comic book and immediately threw it away. Later, when she left Tan Village and got on the bus, she took the comic book with her. Yao Wei questioned why she was carrying the book, but unexpectedly, she found it again and started reading it.

"Why are you suddenly reading this book?"

Lu Xi'an asked, "Didn't you say before that this book was useless?"

But this time Yao Wei answered with utmost seriousness: "It's useful. I need to take a good look at how to give birth step by step, so that I'll have a clear understanding."

Lu Xian: "..."

Wow, this woman is seriously using this comic book to learn!

"So you're not going to see a movie tonight?"

Lu Xian asked.

Yao Wei replied, "I'm not watching."

So Lu Xi'an didn't watch the movie, but picked up a martial arts novel that Luo Ping had brought back and started reading it.

However, the martial arts novels in this world were rather boring, too formulaic, and not very interesting. As he was reading, the book fell on his face—he fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, he found that Yao Wei had changed back into the short pajama pants she had washed the day before. As for the long ones, he didn't know when they had been washed and Yao Wei had hung them up.

When he sat up, Yao Wei glanced at him, then quickly looked away, saying, "We can only go back to what we were before. As for what comes after, let's talk about it when we're about to have a baby."

"..."

Lu Xi'an remained silent for a while, then could only agree, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
