Ordinary people can also be the protagonist in a comic strip

Under the bridge in the morning, on the familiar river bank.

Lorraine was standing there very seriously, thinking professionally, with a pile of messy materials in front of him.

To know……

These were all collected from various resource refresh points in the city last night when he was busy until three in the morning.

During that time, he also had a fight with a group of beggars, and knocked off the dentures of several old guys.

"Should it be built according to the specifications of a doomsday bunker? Or should it be built according to the standards of a death zone?"

Lorraine was in a dilemma.

or……

Grab a shovel and dig down? Give this city a taste of tunnel warfare?

If it is built underground, it will not be blown away by the magic bullets of monsters, right?

No...

What if a stray bullet flew into the tunnel and caused it to collapse? Wouldn’t that bury him alive?

For a while.

All kinds of messy plans were mixed up in Lorraine's mind.

-

at this time.

"Brother Lin!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the distance. Lorraine turned his head and saw Wu Tina running towards him with a casual bag and waving.

"Ouch."

Because I ran too fast, I almost fell down.

It gave Lorraine a fright.

-

"Wutina?"

"Hey, Brother Lin, good morning."

"Why are you here? Don't you have to go to the academy today?"

“It’s the weekend.”

"Oh, it seems so. Then what are you doing..."

"After hearing about your experience yesterday, Brother Lin, I was a little worried, so I rushed over early this morning. Brother Lin was indeed worried about the new home."

"Yes, I have lost my home, but I can't live on the streets forever."

"These...are all building materials?"

Wu Tina looked at the pile of... "construction materials" that could be called garbage.

I felt a little ashamed suddenly.

Lorraine smiled.

"Are you trying to say that I picked up a bunch of garbage?"

"Oh no no no..., I didn't mean that."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. Even if you really said that, you are not wrong. These things... maybe in your eyes, they can really be called garbage. After all, they are things that no one wants and have been thrown away."

"How can we use these things to build a new home?"

"I'm trying to figure it out."

"Do you need my help? Oh no, please let me help too."

"I don't have any reward for you."

"for free."

"Do it for free?"

"Ah."

"Wutina, you are too kind-hearted, aren't you?"

"Because Brother Lin needs me right now."

"It seems that I, Old Lin, owe you another favor."

"Brother Lin, what do you think about the new home?"

Facing Wu Tina's enthusiasm.

Luo Lin thought for a moment, then took out a blueprint from his ring and handed it to the other party. "For the time being, we should just follow this standard. The materials we have are limited, and we can't expect to build a cozy hut for now. At least we can build a shelter-level hut."

"This is... a design drawing?"

Wu Tina looked at the densely packed, super professional icon annotations on it.

I was dizzy for a moment and felt that the knowledge stored in my brain was not enough.

Oops, I don't understand it at all.

Wow, what should I do?

-

but.

Just when Wu Tina was worrying about this, Lorraine suddenly reacted, took the blueprint back, and laughed awkwardly, "Ahaha, um, sorry, sorry, I think I took the wrong one."

"Eh? Wasn't that the design drawing of the new house?"

"That was the construction blueprint for the missile silo. I stole it when I went back to a certain German headquarters... Oh no, nothing, haha, anyway, I made a mistake."

"what???"

"This is the blueprint for the new home I want to build today."

Lorraine replaced the new drawings for her.

When Wu Tina took it and looked at it, she almost laughed out loud. This simple place looks like a refugee shelter, right?

The secret base built by children might be better than this one.

"Brother Lin, is it really okay to live in such a rubbish... no, live in such a small house?"

"Sometimes you have to learn to be content with what you have, Wu Tina."

"Brother Lin is so pitiful."

"Haha, being alive is a kind of happiness. As for these things, you don't need to have too high expectations. The reason why people are troubled is often because they want too many things. The so-called pressure and suffering are all created by themselves."

"Brother Lin is still as optimistic as ever."

"Building a new home is a physically demanding job. Are you...are you really okay with that?"

"Brother Lin, do you look down on me?"

"That's not what I meant, but you have skinny arms and legs. How about this? I'll do the heavy work, and you just need to help me do what you can."

"Yeah, I'll listen to Brother Lin."

Wu Tina would be very happy as long as she could help out.

She also showed the bag she was carrying and said.

"I brought a lunch box with me today. If you're tired from work at noon, you can have a comfortable meal."

"You also prepared a lunch box?"

"Ah."

"Very good, I am now motivated."

"Then Brother Lin, let's work hard together."

……

The two of them were busy all morning.

Since Lorraine took care of all the heavy work, including moving things, sawing things, reinforcing things, etc.

He was so tired that he was sweating profusely.

During the break.

As soon as he sat down, a hand holding a wet towel suddenly reached out to him and wiped the sweat from his head.

"?"

Lorraine glanced sideways and saw Wu Tina's somewhat shy smile.

The other party will also kindly offer tea.

"Brother Lin, you've worked hard. Have some tea and take a rest."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome, hehe."

do not know why.

Sometimes when Wu Tina sat aside and saw the other person sweating and panting from exhaustion, she would inexplicably feel a hint of excitement?

Even she herself didn't know why she had such strange mood swings.

just like……

The more tired the other person is, the happier she is?

How strange.

-

It's time for lunch break.

The two sat together by the river, and Wu Tina took out the lunch box she had made in the morning and handed it to the other person personally.

I saw Lorraine eating with relish without any hesitation.

she also asked.

"Um..., how does it taste?"

"Mm, it's really delicious. Five-star rating."

“I made this myself this morning.”

"what?"

"Similar to the bento my mom made before... How does it taste?"

"Well... your mother's cooking is better."

"Hey! Why is it like this? Brother Lin, this is too much."

"Haha, but the bento made by Wu Tina is also very unique. It's only a matter of time before she surpasses your mother in cooking in the future."

"Really?"

"Do you have this bento left? The portion is a little small. Look at my physique... So... You know, I eat a lot..."

"I had expected this, so I prepared three lunch boxes."

"All three are for me? Haha, OK, thank you very much."

"Eh?"

Wu Tina was stunned for a moment.

She once again refreshed her understanding of men's appetite. Are all boys' appetites so terrible?

but……

Seeing the other person eating so happily.

Wu Tina took out the remaining two lunch boxes and placed them in front of him, smiling and saying, "If Brother Lin likes it so much, just eat more. There are still a lot."

"how about you?"

"I... I'm not very hungry yet, because I ate too much in the morning, haha."

In fact, she was already hungry.

But perhaps she didn't want the other person to be hungry even more than she wanted herself to be hungry.
