Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies novel Chapter 290

The man didn't even think twice before he reached out to help her up and then brought her inside the room. His cold skin comforted the burning sensation in her body. Bai Meiyue reached out and hugged him tight, clutching him as if she was drowning and he was her only straw.

"He–help me." She repeated as her lips brushed against the crook of his neck. "It's so hot… so hot."

She muttered in Lei Qian's ear like a charming siren; she pleaded with the man, asking him to give him the comfort that she was begging for. Lei Qian lowered his head and kissed her before dragging her inside the bedroom. As he was in a hurry, his elbow hit the vase that was sitting on top of the tea table, and it fell on the floor.

BANG.

Bai Meiyue sat up straight and looked around. Her blurry vision made it difficult for her to see through dreams and reality.

Bang. bang. Bang.

Hearing the continuous bangs, Bai Meiyue blinked her eyes and then scrunched up her eyes and looked at the door of her room. She took a moment to collect her bearings and then got up from the bed before crossing the room and opening the door. Outside her room stood Mother Bai, who was staring at her with a look of half concern and half anger.

She asked Bai Meiyue, "What's going on? I have been knocking on the door for so long. Why did you open the door just now?"

"I was just taking a nap." Seeing that her mother was eyeing her suspiciously, she added in a swift manner, "I have been staying outside, and there was no safehouse. Now that I am back home, I couldn't help but fall into a deep sleep." She then paused and asked, "What's the matter, mother? Did something happen?"

"What else? I was asking you to come and eat something. Look at the time; it's already evening. Don't you feel hungry?" Mother Bai remarked as she pointed to the window. Bai Meiyue turned her head and looked at the dark sky, which was illuminated by the many twinkling stars.

Only then did Bai Meiyue realise that she had been sleeping from the morning till the evening. A bit embarrassed, she pursed her lips and turned to look at her mother with an awkward expression.

Though the discomfort in her stomach made her feel a bit nauseated, Bai Meiyue persuaded Mother Bai with a comforting smile on her face as she didn't want her mother to nag her. She said to Mother Bai, "Now that you have said it, I think I am a bit hungry, mother."
