Chapter 1034: Doomsday Big Boss 38

In less than ten minutes, Hu Tongxia had neatly arranged the bed. With the extra mattress laid out, it looked soft and unexpectedly comfortable.

He scratched the back of his head, glancing at Tang Wan. “Do you… want me to get some water so you can wash up?”

Tang Wan: …

Are you sure you just want me to “keep you company”?

Still, she nodded. “Alright.”

Seeing her agree, Hu Tongxia immediately grabbed a basin and headed out.

In the apocalypse, water was extremely scarce. He could only bring back a single basin—and even that would have to be reused later.

When he returned, he set the water down and coughed lightly. “You wash first. I’ll… step out.”

“Mm.” Tang Wan nodded.

After he left, she used the water to wipe away the sweat and dust from the day.

Meanwhile, Hu Tongxia slipped into one of his brother’s rooms. “I’m borrowing your place to wash up.”

The other man looked at him, confused. “Why are you coming to my room to bathe?”

Then, recalling Hu Tongxia’s earlier rant about being straight, his expression suddenly turned wary. He crossed his arms over his chest. “Hey—don’t tell me you’ve turned? I’m warning you, I’m not into men! Two guys won’t end well!”

Hu Tongxia immediately kicked him. “Get lost! I have a girlfriend—why would I be interested in you? Stop imagining things!”

If Tang Wan wasn’t in his room, would he even bother coming here?

He quickly chased the man out and washed up at top speed. After making sure there wasn’t even a hint of sweat left on him, he returned to his room in high spirits.

Tonight, he was finally going to sleep with his girlfriend in his arms—there was no way he’d ruin it by smelling bad.

But when he actually stepped inside and saw Tang Wan, he hesitated for a moment.

Still, desire quickly won over hesitation.

Clearing his throat, he said, “Wan Wan… it’s already past seven. Should we… go to bed?”

Tang Wan almost wanted to remind him—two days ago, he was still insisting on watching movies after seven.

But she didn’t expose him. She simply nodded. “Okay.”

Hu Tongxia’s eyes brightened slightly. “Then… you take the inside?”

“Mm.”

Tang Wan moved toward the inner side of the narrow bed, and Hu Tongxia followed right after.

The beds in the shelter were originally single beds, barely wide enough for one person. With two people lying down, it was undeniably cramped.

But that was exactly what Hu Tongxia wanted.

As soon as they settled in, he naturally wrapped an arm around her and pulled her into his embrace.

“The bed’s a bit small,” he murmured softly. “Stay close to me.”

Tang Wan: …

Even so, she obediently leaned against him.

A satisfied smile immediately appeared on Hu Tongxia’s face.

But he had clearly overestimated his own self-control.

He wasn’t some saint—holding someone soft and warm like her in his arms, how could he possibly stay still?

So not long after, his earlier promise of “I won’t do anything” quietly fell apart.

The narrow bed creaked faintly under their shifting weight.

And this time—

he didn’t feel even a trace of embarrassment.
