Rebirth Of Mc Chpt 1 – 101 (Unedited Translation) Chapter 78: Don’t come over

Huo Zaiyuan is feeling really happy because for some reason throughout the whole of today, that annoying woman Shen Yueran didn’t come up and accost him even once.

“Un, then we will do it this way. Early tomorrow morning, little Yuan and I will drive out of this town to the main highway in search of operational trucks. Qin Jun and little Qing, together with the village chief, will take the villagers and scavenge for any food supplies left behind in the other houses and stack them outside. Once we find suitable trucks, we will leave the day after.” A map lays spread out on the table before them. After Long Zhanye speaks, he glances over to the honest and sincere middle-age male village chief, Hong Wangcai, currently standing to one side. “Village chief, do you have further questions?”

“No, no. We will be inconveniencing you for these few days. As a representative of the villagers, I would like to express my thanks to all of you.” Hong Wangcai states with heartfelt gratitude written all over his face.

These past few days, they have been busy scavenging for food and other supplies from the numerous abandoned houses in this town. Since Huo Zaiyuan has already promised the late grandmother Zhang that he will escort the surviving villagers to the safe zone, then he will absolutely not go back on his word. Also, gathering as much food as possible is the most important thing. Therefore, when he first brought up this issue and the solution for it, the village chief and villagers agreed to it without objections.

When Judgement Day arrived, many livestock either starved to death or were scared away, hence, no one managed to find even one living livestock. However, in rural towns and villages, each household will surely have a storage of dry goods and grain crops. After one thorough search of the place, the amount of food-stuff they carry out is not little, enough to feed the hundred over survivors for approximately one year. Furthermore, once they reach the safe zone, there will be no need to live each day fearing for their life. Presumably, the safe zone will provide the asylum seekers food and shelter, which is why they wouldn’t need to worry about starving. The only issue left that is concerning is their means of transportation.

Thus, after consulting with the chief and a few other people, Long Zhanye decides to go out in search of a large truck which will solve the problem of transporting everyone as well as the large quantity of food.

Once all the important details have been settled, Hong Wancai takes his leave. At this time, the skies outside have darkened and Huo Zaiyuan naturally moves to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Due to their new relationship, Long Zhanye slips into the kitchen too under the pretense of helping Huo Zaiyuan wash and cut the vegetables. Occasionally, he teases and distracts the youth, feeling pleased and a little thrilled when annoyance seeps into Huo Zaiyuan’s eyes.

Finished with the meal, Qin Jun volunteers keeping watch for the first half of the night and Li Qing will take over halfway through. Due to Long Zhanye and Huo Zaiyuan shouldering the responsibility of searching for operational trucks on the main highway tomorrow morning, they will need every bit of rest they can get.

While waiting for Long Zhanye to come out of the bathroom, Huo Zaiyuan sits on the soft bed in the bedroom.

Not long after, a series of light footsteps sound from the direction of the bathroom and draws closer. From the light tap of skin treading on the tiled floor, it is obvious the person is walking out barefooted. Turning his head, Huo Zaiyuan abruptly stiffens.

Using a towel to dry his damp hair, Long Zhanye walks out baring his upper torso, with another towel wrapped around his waist. The scene he creates would be absolutely irresistible to women and would surely cause whoever glimpsing it to screech, possibly even throwing themselves at him…

“You – why are you walking out without your clothes! Exhibitionist!” It took considerable effort on Huo Zaiyuan’s part to control his voice so it doesn’t come out as a screech. But what he is unaware of is his current resemblance to a kitten bristling its fur in anger and hissing, which only serves to amuse Long Zhanye further.

“My body is all wet since I just came out of the shower. It’ll be very uncomfortable if I wear clothes. Besides, little Yuan and I are both males. What I have, you have also. What’s there to be scared of?” Long Zhanye continues teasing as he all but prowls forward, both eyes narrowing. “Don’t tell me you are embarrassed?”

“Y – y – you…don’t come over!” A blush instantly explodes on Huo Zaiyuan’s face at the soldier’s words. Seeing Long Zhanye drawing closer, he scrambles backwards on the bed, trying to halt the other’s advance.

Who knew in the midst of his rapid retreat, his foot kicks out and accurately hits the loose knot, causing the towel wrapped around Long Zhanye’s waist to untie. As the piece of cloth drops down to the ground, Huo Zaiyuan instantly freezes, eyes blowing wide.

“Ahh – !!” Eventually screeching, the red-faced kid disappears in a flash of silver, hiding in his space.

Looking at the bed now vacant of Huo Zaiyuan, Long Zhanye leisurely bends to pick up the towel, a cocky grin surfacing.

That youth is really too adorable.

(Author’s note: Long gong is a bully…And Yuan shou, you didn’t call him an exhibitionist the last time…)
