Rebirth in the end of the world, hold the ex's thigh tightly

After returning to the base and undergoing a health check, Cheng Jing asked Zhao Lei and Huang Qian to stay and help him, while the others returned to the dormitory first.

Only then did everyone realize that Yang Kai lived in the building next to them.

Cheng Jing took Zhao Lei and Huang Qian to the command center, reported the mission and counted the crystal core exchange points, and then distributed them according to proportion.

Everyone will get a share of what is collected today, and they will get another share of what they have saved before.

There are many points redemption points in the base, and even the command center has a special redemption office.

In order not to attract attention, Cheng Jing took out the crystal core from the space ring and packed it in advance.

He took a pack and exchanged it at the command center, and asked Zhao Lei and Huang Qian to take the rest to other places in the base to exchange them in a low-key manner.

Of course, just like before, he kept a crystal core with enchanting powers for collection.

As for the crystal core of the dual-attribute mutant zombie, since it was the target of the core mission, it was exchanged and handed in together.

Firstly, Yang Kai saw that it was difficult to conceal and used other substitutes. Secondly, the crystal nuclei of mutated zombies that eat their own kind had higher research value, so it was reasonable to hand them over to the base research institute.

However, what Cheng Jing did not expect was that this dual-attribute mutant crystal core was 200 times more expensive than a normal supernatural crystal core, and one crystal core gave him 6000 points.

There was no special explanation before, and after receiving the points, the staff repeatedly reminded him not to tell anyone:

This is special intelligence that is not shared within the base unless necessary.

Cheng Jing said he understood and didn't ask any more questions. After exchanging the points, he turned around and walked into the duty office to report.

After exchanging all of them, excluding the one given to Yang Kai, their team had earned a total of 13,000 points since the beginning of collecting crystal cores.

The teammates had already said in advance and strongly requested that no matter how many points were obtained from the crystal core exchange, they should be given to Jiang Nian for safekeeping.

Without Jiang Nian, they wouldn't have lived so comfortably in the apocalypse. They had never even gone hungry. They should repay Jiang Nian for the rest of their lives.

Besides, if Brother Nian wants to do business and open a farm, it is very necessary for him to have points. They are responsible for making money, and Jiang Nian is responsible for management. It's that simple.

Cheng Jing didn't bother to be polite with them and directly collected all the points and transferred them to his hamster.

……

After finishing all the finishing work and submitting the report, Cheng Jing returned to the dormitory at around ten o'clock.

Jiang Nian changed into home clothes, closed the kitchen door and hummed a tune while preparing a midnight snack, a very popular internet food with a very addictive taste: snail noodles.

I haven't had a proper meal all day today, and as the weather is hot I want to eat something heavy and appetizing. The sour, spicy and fragrant snail noodles are perfect for me.

With a tablet computer placed on the kitchen cabinet, Jiang Nian watched and followed the eating tutorial in the video, adding various ingredients to it:

Fried eggs, crab sticks, duck feet, braised pig's trotters, small sausages, tiger skin chicken feet, and green vegetables, just looking at them makes people drool.

"Do you need my help?"

Cheng Jing took off his coat and walked in. The unique sour and refreshing smell of snail noodles penetrated into his nose and went straight to the top of his head. It not only stimulated his appetite but also refreshed him.

Jiang Nian, who was watching a cooking video, pushed him out:

"No need to help, Brother Jing, go take a break and prepare the dishes. We'll have to eat soon."

The presence of handsome guys will affect his performance.

Originally he didn't eat snail noodles, but Jingge liked it, so in order to pursue him he tried to eat it, and gradually he became addicted to it. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't eat it for a while.

Especially when you have a poor appetite, having a bowl of it is simply too refreshing.

When they were in college, they would go out to eat during the holidays, and to be honest, the smell in the store was not so strong.

Soon, a soup pot of deluxe snail noodles was served on the table. The two sat down face to face and started eating. Jiang Nian took out two bottles of soy milk from the freezer in the space ring.

Drinking soy milk with snail noodles is a standard dish, which was recommended by the owner when they ate at the physical store.

A midnight snack gave me an inexplicable feeling of revisiting the past.

After eating for a while, Cheng Jing suddenly spoke:

"I just saw Zhou Li in the duty room of the command center."

"Zhou Li?"

Jiang Nian, who was chewing chicken feet, paused for a moment:

"The person in charge of the resettlement site in the western district of Qingyun City?"

"Ah."

Cheng Jing nodded:

"He came here with Yang Kai. He is a comrade-in-arms of Director Wang of the Base Infrastructure Department. Director Wang is Yang Kai's uncle."

Minister Wang happened to be on duty at the command center tonight. When he went in, the two men were drinking tea and chatting.

"Wow! After all this time, we all seem to be familiar with each other."

Jiang Nian laughed, took a sip of soy milk and asked again:

"What did he say to you? Who else came besides him?"

It has to be said that Yang Kai's connections and background are really strong, he is envious.

"There are other people, but I haven't seen them... I haven't said anything yet. I think we will be invited to meet and talk tomorrow afternoon. Don't run around. I'll come back for lunch and pick you up at noon."

As Cheng Jing spoke, he casually grabbed a tissue and wiped his chin and mouth corners that were stained with chili oil, and put the last two chicken feet into his bowl.

"Got it. I'll go check on the progress of the shop's renovations tomorrow morning and come back."

Jiang Nian nodded, lowered his head and continued to slurp noodles. He glanced at his boyfriend who seemed to be thinking about something and teased:

"Just based on Minister Wang's relationship, we can let your 'short-term ex-boyfriend' join our team. If Yang Kai really likes you, Minister Wang will put pressure on us, and we will have a love triangle. A TV series like this will take at least 30 episodes, and a novel will have at least 50 words."

Recently, he has been killing time by reading a lot of novels and watching TV dramas about such tragic love stories. Although he finds them cliché, he can sometimes be quite touching.

"Be normal"

Cheng Jing was speechless. He glanced at the tablet on the sofa behind him and politely reminded:

"Watch less of those messy things. They are bad for your brain."

He didn't understand the kind of plot where people refused to talk properly because of a trivial matter, and then the misunderstanding made them exhausted both physically and mentally, and then forced a happy ending in the end. It was tiring to watch.

"Hehe~"

Jiang Nian's mind moved when he heard this:

"Then Brother Jing, please talk to me about something good for your brain."

Seeing his malicious look, Cheng Jing had a bad feeling:

"What to talk about?"

Jiang Nian smiled slyly:

"Let's talk about your situation in the two years since we were apart. You haven't told me about it yet."

I didn't dare to ask before, but I dare to ask now. He has won the resurrection match in both life and love, and it's time to settle this "old account".

This is probably the inevitable journey for every couple who want to get back together.

"I served in the army for two years, and when I was about to retire, I was studying and working at the same time. I was so busy that I was exhausted."

Cheng Jing answered truthfully that at that time he slept no more than five hours a day, and he used the little free time he occasionally squeezed out to think about someone.

"Oh……"

Jiang Nian nodded, pondered for a moment and asked again:

"Then have you ever thought about... starting a new relationship to distract yourself?"

After the breakup, he hoped that Jingge could meet someone better than him because Jingge was worthy of him, but he was also afraid that someone better than him would erase all traces between them.

To put it bluntly, people are always selfish.
