The Absolute Favorite in the Apocalyptic Rebirth

Qiu Rong was capable. Although she saw her husband withstand her father-in-law's pressure to let them share a room, her face, apart from a kind smile, showed no other expression, which lessened Lou Ling's embarrassment a lot. She led the two to the guest room upstairs. The guest room had already been cleaned spotlessly, and the cabinets, tables, chairs, and bed were all available. Now, they only needed to lay out the bedding and daily necessities. She opened the cupboard and spread out new bedding.

Everything was new, which perfectly catered to Lou Dian's obsession with cleanliness. Lou Ling knew that the Lou family must have prepared it specifically for him. After the apocalypse, Lou Zhan stayed in the capital, not only for missions, but also to bring Lou Dian and Lou Ling back to the Northwest base. The Lou family wasn't large, so it was better to be together.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. You've worked hard," Lou Ling thanked her politely.

Qiu Rong patted her shoulder and smiled. "You're welcome. We are all family. Alright, you two are tired, rest first."

After Qiu Rong left, Lou Dian took out clothes from his space and asked her to take a bath. This guest room had a bathroom, so there was no need to go downstairs to wash, which was very convenient.

After Lou Ling finished her bath and it was his turn, she chewed gum, opened the wardrobe, and saw that Lou Dian had only put a few sets of clothes inside. Other personal belongings were not placed there. She was slightly surprised, but after a second thought, she knew that he probably didn't plan to live in the Lou family home. In Lou Ling's opinion, in this kind of world, it was better for the family to live together. However, she knew that Lou Dian had some obsessive-compulsive tendencies. No matter how good Lou Tang was, he was only an uncle, not their parents. Since he wasn't their parent, how could they live together? Although he seemed normal now, his personality was still sensitive, and he had an inexplicable stubbornness about many things.

Thinking of this, Lou Ling sighed, remembering Lou Dian's reaction when Lou Ran's father and mother passed away, and her heart ached.

When Lou Dian came out with his upper body bare, only wearing pajama pants, he found someone enthusiastically hugging him, her hands tightly wrapped around him, as if she had been stimulated by something. Of course, it was foolish not to take advantage of an opportunity, so he took advantage first.

He embraced her and sat down on the bed with her in his arms. Lou Dian asked, "What's wrong?"

Lou Ling rubbed against him and then asked, "Are you not planning to live here?"

"Yes," Lou Dian said crisply. "I know Uncle and Aunt are very good, but after all, this is not our home. It's good for us to be together. In a few days, after we settle down, I'll find a house."

Lou Ling never liked to argue with him about such trivial matters, so she said, "I'm afraid Uncle will be angry and scold you when he finds out."

Lou Dian said nonchalantly, "It's okay, leave it to me. I have a way to deal with it."

Lou Ling suddenly felt sorry for her uncle, who couldn't do anything about him. Just like before, when her uncle clearly knew about their relationship, she was worried that they would object. After all, for some older generation people, even if there was no blood relationship, but they had the status of siblings on the household registration, they still felt that being together was not good and would object. Who knew that Lou Zhan only mentioned Lou Ran, and her uncle retreated. It was estimated that what Lou Ran's father did when he was young really frightened her uncle. Lou Dian's personality was so similar to Lou Ran's, so naturally, he didn't dare to push him too hard and just followed his heart.

Lou Dian picked up the towel next to him and wiped her half-dry hair. His hair was short and didn't need much wiping. It dried quickly in the night breeze. But her hair, which she always kept at shoulder length, could be tied into a ponytail when it was hot. Lou Ling naturally wanted to cut her hair into a boy's style, but Lou Dian stopped her. He would rather spend his effort helping her care for it than allow her to cut it casually.

Lou Ling sat cross-legged on the bed, chatting with him about Uncle Lou's family. Occasionally, she looked up at him and found his eyes gentle, his movements very soft, and even a hint of infatuation in his eyes. She couldn't help but feel a palpitation and shivered.

Could he have a hair fetish? No wonder he wouldn't let her cut her hair short!

She discovered another perverted side of him, what to do?

What to do? Just go to sleep!

The thick-skinned Lou Ling quickly accepted this matter and didn't bother to care about anything else. Having arrived at a safe place, she yawned and prepared to sleep.

As soon as she lay down, she found someone already on top of her. Her whole body was on alert. Knowing that she was no match for him, she still fought with him. The result was naturally that she was easily suppressed on the bed again. He was about to tear her pajamas, which scared her to death. She also hated that she was wearing a nightdress today—he gave her the nightdress, damn it! He definitely had ulterior motives!

"Didn't you say that when we get to a safe place, I can have whatever I want?" He breathed into her ear, his voice a little hoarse, containing an indescribable excitement.

Lou Ling quickly remembered her own death-seeking words, and her scalp went numb. When she felt his excited part, her face became even stiffer. She could only say, "We just arrived at the base today, and I have to go shopping with Xiao Yan tomorrow. There are many things to do. An-another day, it's always not good in someone else's house…" Delay as long as possible.

Lou Dian was a little disappointed, but her words "it's always not good in someone else's house" really spoke to his heart. Doing this kind of thing with his beloved sister in someone else's house… Forget it, he felt a little repelled in his heart, always feeling that this would defile her.

Finding that he agreed, Lou Ling was moved to tears, very happy with his perverted personality and particularity. She could have a good sleep tonight.

The next day, when Lou Dian and Lou Ling got up, the Lou family was also up.

Aunt and Qiu Rong were preparing breakfast. Lou Tang was exercising in the courtyard, slowly practicing Tai Chi. Lou Zhan and Yan Ge were sparring in sportswear. Lou Yan was yawning, squatting at the door, looking at them with a dull expression.

"Uncle, good morning!" Lou Ling greeted him energetically. Seeing that Yan Ge and Lou Zhan were busy, she didn't disturb them.

Lou Ling squatted beside Lou Yan, touched the little girl's head, and asked, "Why don't you exercise with them?"

"Sister-in-law is making breakfast now, and no one is sparring with me." Lou Yan looked resentfully at the three men in the courtyard and said, "Dad is old, I don't dare to bother him. Big brother and Brother Yan are both ability users, and the power difference is too much. I won't go and ask for trouble." After thinking for a while, she suddenly said, "Sister's skills should be good. Let's practice sometime."

Lou Ling readily agreed. Except for Aunt, who was a well-educated and reasonable lady, everyone else in the Lou family had good skills. Like sister-in-law Qiu Rong, she was also from a military background and met Lou Zhan at the military academy. They fell in love and got married. As for Lou Yan, there was no need to mention it. She was a fierce presence in the family. At the age of fifteen, she was taken to the army by her elder brother and sister-in-law for training. Previously, Aunt was very opposed to her daughter going wild everywhere and liking to play with machinery. Until after the apocalypse, she knew that these were life-saving skills, so she no longer objected.

Lou Ling's readily agreement made the little girl very happy, and they happily set a time.

After breakfast, everyone went out, leaving only Aunt at home to take care of the children. Lou Tang took Lou Zhan, Lou Dian, and Yan Ge away. Lou Ling carried her backpack and went with Lou Yan to find Lin Bao and the others, introducing Lou Yan to them.

Yan Ge had already told them Lin Bao's address. Lou Ling didn't know the way, but Lou Yan was a road expert. She had already become familiar with every part of the base and even, when no one was paying attention, fiddled with many small gadgets and inserted them into the base. The entire base seemed to have become her eyes and ears.

"Let me tell you, in addition to the hidden cameras on the base walls, there are many places in the base that have them. If anyone dares to cause trouble in the base, I can find out as long as I get the information. Hey, later I'll take you to see my collection, and I'll also call Brother and the others…"

Lou Ling smiled and listened to the little girl's bragging and chattering. She was also surprised that she was so capable at such a young age. Thinking about herself at sixteen or seventeen, she was still fighting with the chuunibyou Lou Dian, and she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Lin Bao and the others still lived together in a residential area, in a large five-bedroom, two-living room house, just enough for them to live in.

When Lou Ling and Lou Yan arrived, Lin Bao and the others had just finished breakfast and were discussing going to the base for a walk and getting to know the base. Seeing them arrive, everyone was very happy.

Lou Ling introduced them. Hearing that Lou Yan was Commander Lou's daughter, the useless Yi Zheng was like seeing a national marshal arrive, gasping for air. Then she pulled Lou Yan and became intimate with her, flattering her to the utmost. Lou Yan was also cheerful and lively, and she quickly called Yi Zheng sister. Yi Zheng was foolish and easy to deceive, without any scheming. Lou Yan was observant, and after a few words, she understood Yi Zheng's nature. She didn't guard against her because of her appearance but became close to her.

"Oh, another Little Sister Lou! The Little Sister Lous are all good! Don't worry, if anyone dares to bully Little Sister Lou in the future, tell me, and I'll beat him so badly that even his mother won't recognize him!" Yi Zheng patted her ample chest and said.

Lou Yan said with a touched face, "Sister Yi doesn't dislike me for being an ordinary person, I, I'm really so happy…"

"Is an ordinary person not a person? As long as an ordinary person has weapons and good skills, they are no worse than ability users! Don't worry, Little Sister Lou, if anyone has an opinion about your ordinary person status, I'll beat them up!"

"Sister Yi is so good! Then I will need a lot of help in the future, I wonder if Sister Yi…"

"Just leave it to me!"

"…"

Alright, with just a few words, Yi Zheng sold herself again!

Lin Bao originally pulled Lou Ling to ask her about what happened at the Lou family yesterday and watched Lou Yan fool Yi Zheng with a cold eye. After listening to Lou Ling, she felt that the Lou family was good, with good family education and strict family traditions, without any annoying extreme relatives. This made her feel envious and relieved.

"Have you decided to live in the Lou family home?" Lin Bao asked. Privately, she still wanted to maintain the previous style of the capital base, where everyone lived together and discussed everything.

Lou Ling glanced at the little girl who was having a heated conversation with Yi Zheng and said, "No, my brother is uncomfortable."

Hearing that it was Lou Dian who was uncomfortable, Lin Bao shut up. It was estimated that Lou Dian wouldn't want to live with them either. And the place where they lived now was entirely thanks to the Lou family. It was free, and they didn't have to pay any rent.

As the two were talking, Tan Mo was munching on beef jerky. This beef jerky was taken from Lou Dian's space by Lou Ling and given to him. It was very hard, and Tan Mo loved to chew it. No one else's teeth were as good as his.

After chatting for a while, everyone packed up their things and went to the base in a mighty group.
