As Xiao San voice faded into silence, the couch reappeared into the room, undamaged.
Bai Jing's eyes were glowing with defiance as his past agitation had now vanished completely; colors were blooming again on his cheeks.
In front of him, Xiao San face expressed as usual little to no emotions but in his heart, he felt happy. He has been at first shocked, but before his thoughts could turn into chaos, the sight of Bai Jing's face instantly calmed him down.
” This time, you believe me. ”
Bai Jing's eyes were sparkling as he was now in high spirit, even acting like a proud peac.o.c.k.
Xiao San loved watching the boy when he carried himself that way but at the moment, his heart was too consumed with doubts to truly enjoy the sight. But really, who could blame him? Anyone who heard this kind of story would think it came from a thousands and one nights!
Still prudent, Xiao San sincerely asked
” Don’t take it the wrong way since I know what I saw, but this fails to explain why there will be an Apocalypse. ”
Xiao San words were sharp but Bai Jing didn’t care. The fact that he was taking that detail into consideration was proof enough that he was not regarding this as a joke anymore.
” Since you understand, you have to believe me. It’s in a dream, really, where I saw the Apocalypse! First I dreamed of the weather changing suddenly just as it's happening now… But I also saw nature everywhere turning dangerous and deadly. It was like a biochemical disaster where everyone who couldn’t escape would turn into zombies. Animals, plants and people would mutate and soon there were be no land to cultivate on and no more meat to eat.
Everyone will turn numb to their own pain and their face will only reflect hopelessness.
Those are the reasons why I opened the supermarket, why I collect materials and buy weapons and drugs…
Xiao San you have to believe me, what I saw will happen… ”
As he finished talking, Bai Jing looked up, his eyes unconsciously full of earnest hope as his whole person seemed shrouded in a faint layer of sadness and inexplicable fear.
” Stop worrying so much, I am with you. ”
Xiao San hugged him, his voice deep and sweet like a whisper, giving to the one listening a feeling of safety.
Even if in his heart there still were some doubts, Xiao San just had to think of Bai Jing's power to foreshadow what was to come. He thought of the recent change in the weather, those countries going through different disasters and his heart ached.
” In addition to what you told me, what else do you know? ”
Bai Jing took a moment to think
” If I didn't guessed wrong, after the rain the temperature will get increasingly high and near the end it will be very hot. And then meteorites will fall from the sky. People will soon catch a fever even if no one had a cold. And not long after that the Apocalypse will break out and everywhere there will be undead roaming around. The entire world will fall into chaos. ”
” Are you serious? And since when do you know? ”
Xiao San frowned deeply as he pictured in his mind the image Bai Jing was describing. At this point, he was considering his story but a small part of him was still in utter disbelief. He felt he has to wait until the d.a.m.ned sunny days and, if the heatwaves truly hits, his heart would then need no more proof.
Bai Jing heard his question and, still hiding the truth, answered
” It was the day after I saved you. With the image of your body drenched in blood, I went back home and that same night I had terrible nightmares. I saw pieces of what I told you about and at first I was terrified. But somehow I obtained my storage s.p.a.ce and after that I knew it was all real. But it’s only recently that my premonitions got more and more intense. You must trust me on that. ”
Xiao San was silent for a while but then patted Bai Jing's back.
” Don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I will protect you. ”
” I know that you will protect me, but I still worry. ”
Bai Jing's voice was so soft, Xiao San heart's melted at the sound of it. Regardless of whether this was true, he had decided that no matter what he would believe his kitten's words.
” But tell me, does your s.p.a.ce has different functions? What are the effects? ”
Xiao San suddenly got very curious. Even if he was an underworld boss, this ability or power honestly, it was the kind of thing you could only see in movies.
” Don't underestimate all the strengthening I've done to that s.p.a.ce, but concretely a lot can be stored in it. Since after the end begins commodity will be scarce, the inside has to be huge. ”
explained Bai Jing as he smiled proudly.
Seen him with such a happy expression, Xiao San's mind relaxed a little, just enough to let his face reveal a bit of his hidden curiosity.
” Are you talking about internal strength? The type from the Wuxia novels? ”
Bai Jing nodded excitedly. He then took the opportunity to explain the details to Xiao San but also insisted on teaching him. The older man felt helpless but looking at his baby cat acting so intimate, he ended up not refusing the help. The boy could ask him to go through fire or water and he would willingly go. And if afterwards he could be reward with a kiss, it would be even better.
The two kept talking upstairs as time went by, undisturbed.
On the first floor, the others bored to death, were watching TV when they saw Bai Jing coming down the stairs in an obvious good mood.
The boy casually ignoring their noticeable curiosity, smiled at Xiao San and said
” Sit first, cooking will take a while. Is there anything you like in particular? ”
The question came out of nowhere, surprising Xiao San as he joyfully answered
” Normal food is good! ”
” Then let's go with shrimps… And how about some soup and a few vegetables dishes to go with it. ”
As he smiled, Bai Jing turned around and entered the kitchen. In his mind, he just had thought of a way to get Xiao San to drink the water from his spring. He was of course including w.a.n.g Xuebing, Cao Lei and now, the others living in his house into his scheme. In the back of his head, Bai Jing was a bit worried about them, particularly in respect to Qin Yin's little brother Qin Hao and his girlfriend Xu Lei …
During the apocalypse, Bai Jing never heard of the famous Qin Yi having any living relatives.
Maybe they died early on.
Or maybe they turned into zombies.
But about the spring, although the water could not be giving to them directly, he still could use it to cook. Not to mention the seafood he had copiously raised in his s.p.a.ce, Bai Jing was very desirous to have a taste at everything.
In the other room, a satisfied looking Xiao San sat in one of the sofas, paying no attention to the few who were left dumbstruck.
Fortunately, w.a.n.g Xuebing and Cao Lei already knew that the young master could cook. As for Qin Yi, Xu Lei and even Qin Hao, they were so shocked their chin almost fell off. They were already under the impression that Bai Jing was a genuine G.o.d's favorite but they couldn’t have guessed he could also cook!
Xiao San somehow was feeling really good. He felt proud and, seeing their surprised looks, he felt even better. He thought of his kitten scolding face and how earlier he couldn’t kiss him.
This man really, his consciousness wasn’t very clean.
Before long, Bai Jing came out carrying six dishes, a soup and some cooling plates for the table. As they all started to eat, Xu Lei heart grieved. The kitchen has been her thing since she arrived here but having been made aware of the young master evident talent in cooking, where was she supposed to s.h.i.+ne now!
