Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies

Chapter 158: Their Past (2)



Long Yu nodded, and his voice was filled with deep sadness when he said, "You may not remember me, but I have always loved you from the first time I saw you. The first time we met was when you were trapped under the mutant tree. I was the one who pulled you out of the belly of the mutant tree."

"By the time my team arrived, everyone was dead except you. I heard your faint cry for help coming from inside the mutated tree. When I pulled you out, and you passed out in my arms, I felt I had to protect you."

"From that moment on, I have been looking for you. I'm attracted to you, but all you care about is your family. When we met again, you didn't even remember me."

Hearing this, Yao Ran's eyes widened. She wanted to see his expression when he said this, but he buried his face in the crook of her neck.

After a moment of silence, Yao Ran muttered, "So it was you who saved me."

Long Yu nodded, "Yes."

After a moment of silence, Yao Ran said awkwardly, "Maybe it's too late to say this now, but... Thank you for saving my life."

When Long Yu heard this, he chuckled. He sighed and said, "You saved me the second time we met, so you don't have to thank me."

Yao Ran tried to recall her past, but most of her memories were blurred. The only things she remembered clearly were the laboratory and things connected to the Lan family. As for other memories, she couldn't remember them clearly.

After listening to Long Yu's story about the two of them, Yao Ran felt that something was missing from her memory. It was as if someone had messed with them and made her remember only what they wanted her to remember.

Considering she was a test subject and locked up in a laboratory for two years, it's no surprise if those crazy scientists did something to her brain.

After a moment of silence, she asked, "Can you tell me what happened between us in our previous life?"

Long Yu smiled, "Of course. I will tell you everything you want to know."

Yao Ran let Long Yu hug her for a while, then coughed and said, "It's cold here. Let's change places to talk."

After hearing this, Long Yu finally let her go.

Thinking that the only warm place in the house was the bedroom, she hesitated but still said, "Let's go to my bedroom to talk."

Long Yu followed her to the master bedroom. He was relieved to see that she had a lot of things there and sufficient food. Fortunately, she did not suffer too much in this life.

When Yao Ran turned on the floor heating and the two heaters, she saw Long Yu just standing at the door. After the initial awkwardness, she no longer felt shy.

She pointed to the bed and said, "You can sit there. I will make us a cup of hot chocolate." While Yao Ran was busy making hot chocolate, Long Yu felt very nervous.

This was his first visit to a woman's bedroom, and this woman was still the woman he had loved for many years. He rubbed his sweaty palms against his pants, took a few deep breaths, and tried hard to calm his rapidly beating heart.

Long Yu sat on the soft bed, which was filled with her unique fresh fragrance, not daring to move or look around.

"Have you eaten yet?" Yao Ran asked.

Seeing that she had prepared breakfast for the two of them, Long Yu said, "Not yet. As soon as I woke up, Quan Yuanwei and Sima Yun came."

She smiled and said, "Then let's eat together."

While Yao Ran was busy cooking, Long Yu's eyes never left her. Feeling his hot gaze on her, Yao Ran suddenly became nervous. She turned to look at him, and their eyes met in the air.

She blushed slightly, looked away, and said, "If you are bored, you can read the book on the bedside table."

"Mhm."

Long Yu hummed an answer, but he didn't move and just watched her cook. Fifteen minutes later, their breakfast is ready.

Yao Ran pulled two low stools from the corner of the bedroom and said, "Come and eat." Long Yu saw that she was using the heater as a stove and said nothing. The stool was too low that he could only awkwardly fold his long legs when he sat down.

Seeing this, Yao Ran laughed and said, "I'm sorry, but we have to eat like this. If I take the food out of the heater, it will freeze."

Long Yu shook his head and said, "It's fine. Thank you for all your hard work in preparing the food."

After speaking, Long Yu took a bite of the meat and vegetable steamed bun and said, "It's very delicious."

Seeing that he was eating with gusto, Yao Ran was very satisfied and said, "Eat more if you like it."

The two ate in silence for ten minutes before Yao Ran asked curiously, "You said I saved your life when we met for the second time. What happened back then?"

Long Yu put down his chopsticks and said, "When I was on a subjugation mission, we met again in Haicheng base. At that time, you had joined a mercenary team, and your team was recruited for the mission. Our mission at that time was to eliminate a group of mutant rats." "Everyone thought it would be easy to kill a few mutant rats, so we only brought a few days' worth of rations and light equipment. Unfortunately, the information given to us was wrong. When we arrived at the factory, what we saw was not a group of mutant rats but tens of thousands of mutant rats."

"Including your team, we only took fifty people and were forced to hide in a small factory while defending against mutant rats. When rescue arrived ten days later, most of the people who came with us were already dead."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Listening to his story, Yao Ran tilted her head slightly and asked, "Since I'm trapped there with you, how can I save your life?"
