Rebirth: Exclusive Love in the End of the World-Chapter 80 - Amendment 2

If he wasn’t dead… why wasn’t he by her side? How could he possibly allow others to treat her like that?

Or perhaps… those were just dreams. Like some people dream of winning the lottery, being chased, or flying… Thus, not every one of her dreams might be prophetic.

Han Yi couldn’t fathom the answers. In his heart, he could only sigh deeply.

“Brother.” Han Jiaojiao looked up with a smile on her little pale face when she saw him enter.

Han Yi walked to the bedside and sat down, “They’re preparing to go out, only Changyuan is staying at home. Do you want to go out for a walk? Brother will accompany you.”

“No, I just got here. I want to rest at home.” Han Jiaojiao shook her head decisively.

Yan Xiao and the others probably wanted to familiarize themselves with the surroundings, but she didn’t need to. She had lived here for over two years in her previous life and knew every district like the back of her hand.

Han Jiaojiao hugged the eggs nestled in her legs and carefully placed them into a glass bowl she had prepared.

“Brother, I’m going to dig some soil in the yard,” Han Jiaojiao said, standing up with two large glass bowls in hand, each containing two eggs.

Han Jiaojiao had mentioned to Han Yi that the creatures inside the eggs were likely Hourly Beasts. They needed soil as a nurturing medium when they first hatched, similar to plants.

Han Yi didn’t stop her but asked, “Wouldn’t it be more convenient to plant them directly outside?”

Her brows furrowed, Han Jiaojiao shook her head seriously and told Han Yi, “I’m afraid they might get eaten by small animals.”

In her past life, Pepper had once had its leaves gnawed by a sand rat. Although it eventually healed, there was always a little gap at that spot, and every time she looked at it, she felt upset for a long time. She didn’t know if there were any mice in the base… It would still be better to raise them inside the house. She could put them on the windowsill where they would also get sunlight.

The small vegetable garden in the yard had soil, but it had been uncultivated for a long time and the soil was clumped together.

Han Jiaojiao thought that in the future, when they grew large enough to eat meat and no longer fit in the bowls, they’d definitely be moved to this vegetable garden. She decided to turn over the entire plot, tirelessly breaking apart each clump of soil. After that, she watered it and dug up some slightly damp soil to put in the two large glass bowls. Then she placed the eggs on the soil and carefully carried the two glass bowls with the planted eggs back into the house.

Last life, she lived foolishly and weakly. These Hourly Beasts were perhaps the only beautiful part of her memories from that time.

She cherished them, for they had been her companions through those tough days and had helped her take her revenge.

Lu Changyuan, sitting in the living room, saw her and couldn’t help but chuckle, “An egg, can it be incubated like that?”

Han Jiaojiao’s face turned slightly red, “…Perhaps it’s not an egg, just a kind of… plant seed that’s rather large…”

Lu Changyuan’s laughter was inscrutable, “Mhm, it really doesn’t look much like an egg; its surface is much smoother than a shell.”

Han Jiaojiao didn’t dare to continue the conversation and hurriedly ran upstairs with her head down.

Subconsciously, she was a bit afraid of Lu Changyuan, always feeling that this man was too intelligent, as if he could see through the secrets in her heart at any moment. Talking to Lu Changyuan always felt incredibly stressful…

Suddenly, Han Jiaojiao realized the benefits of having Yan Xiao around.

They weren’t that different in age, so how could there be such a big gap? …

—Today was their first day entering the base; everyone had made great gains but were also very tired.

Han Jiaojiao was tired too. She was the only female among them, and almost all of the cleaning of the house was done by her.

It wasn’t that the others didn’t clean, but even after they did, Han Jiaojiao still didn’t feel it was clean enough and had to do it over again to be at ease. She was busy until nightfall, and after taking a bath, she collapsed on her bed, unwilling to move.

Han Yi, however, wasn’t planning to let her off that easy.

They had always faced many inconveniences outside, and he had been abstinent for many days.

Han Jiaojiao wanted to resist but felt too exhausted to do so. She curled up on the bed, pleading pitifully, “…Really, not tonight, I’m so tired today…”

“Oh, where do you feel tired?” Han Yi seemed very patient.

“…Tired all over…” Han Jiaojiao inched towards the head of the bed.

Han Yi’s lips curved into a smile.

…

The next day, it was no surprise that Han Jiaojiao woke up late.

The few men living under the same roof were all clever; they were all well aware but didn’t dare to tease her, knowing she was thin-skinned. Not only could they not tease her, but they also needed to find topics to engage and coax her with, to avoid making her feel uncomfortable. This technically challenging task, naturally, was Yan Xiao’s responsibility.

Yan Xiao glanced at the bruise behind Han Jiaojiao’s neck, lamenting to himself that Han Yi had been too ruthless, while nonchalantly chatting with her.

“Yesterday we went to the materials exchange center. That 100 points in the card only got us twenty-six pounds of rice and nothing else. Even the points for toilet paper were over a hundred, and a palm-sized lump of pork was eight hundred or was it seven hundred points? I can’t remember clearly… Anyway, it’s outrageous…”

Han Jiaojiao, sitting in the yard doing laundry, heard Yan Xiao’s words and asked him, “Did you guys go to the labor center too?”

“Of course we did! There were so many people there, all taking on tasks, but most of them can’t be completed alone, so a lot of people were forming groups at the door. It kind of reminded me of the online games I used to play. Oh! And hey, you should never go out alone in the future; it’s especially chaotic outside. Yesterday, Xiao Jian and I saw several thievery incidents on the street, they just grab and run, and no one does anything about it…”

Yan Xiao was happily chatting with Han Jiaojiao when suddenly several car horns sounded outside. He couldn’t help but frown and looked towards the yard entrance—

A man with glasses stepped out of the car, followed by two soldiers.

Yan Xiao muttered under his breath: Is this base annoying or what? Why have they come again?

However, it wasn’t good to be too arrogant on someone else’s turf, so Yan Xiao held back his irritation and smiled amicably, “May I ask what brings you gentlemen to our door today?”
