Feeling Lu Xinyi's slender fingers touching his brow, Qin Ju subconsciously held her hand and squeezed it in his palm.

The words came to his lips, but he couldn't help swallowing them back.

After a few seconds of silence, he shook his head and said, "Nothing much, I just feel that the gap between you and me has widened again, and I can never catch up with you."

"Why do you say that?" Lu Xinyi raised an eyebrow, "Just because you know what my space looks like?"

Qin Ju nodded.

Xinyi's ability was too strong, and he couldn't catch up with her no matter how hard he tried.

How can we protect her?

"Qin Ju." Lu Xinyi restrained her expression and spoke in a serious tone, "I can tell you very clearly that the gap in strength between you and me will always exist. Do you want to always be so self-deprecating?"

Qin Ju raised his eyes to meet her slightly sharp gaze, opened his mouth but didn't know how to answer.

"Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. You have your strengths, and I have my weaknesses." Lu Xinyi said seriously, "I like you and trust you, not because of your strength, but because of your sincerity, because of your meticulous trust and care for me."

"I can feel that you want to protect me, but I can also tell you that I don't need your protection. I just need you to be by my side, and accompany me as always."

Having experienced betrayal and abandonment in her previous life, she doesn't ask for much in this life. She only hopes that the people she cares about can be safe and sound and stay with her forever.

She has the strength, and she can handle the enemy on her own.

That was all she wanted.

Meeting her firm and resolute gaze, Qin Jue felt very complicated and his face looked a little solemn.

After a moment, he nodded solemnly and said seriously: "Xinyi, I understand. I will always be with you and will not be entangled in these things anymore, and I will not let you be troubled by them either."

Lu Xinyi took the initiative to step forward, gave him a comforting hug, and whispered: "As long as you are by my side, I will be very happy."

In today's world, if the person you care about can be with you, what else can you ask for?

……

In the space, five hours passed quickly, and the tornado outside finally stopped.

Lu Xinyi led everyone out of the space.

"Huh? Hasn't five hours passed already? Why isn't it dark outside yet?" Xia Lianqiao said puzzledly.

They encountered the tornado at around one or two in the afternoon. Five hours later, wouldn't that be six or seven in the afternoon?

However, the sky didn't look like it was six or seven in the evening.

Seeing that everyone was confused, Lu Xinyi explained, "Five hours in the space is equivalent to one hour outside. The speed of time is different."

"Is it possible?" Xia Lianqiao asked in surprise, "Sister, your space is really magical!"

Lu Xinyi smiled and didn't continue the topic. She took out the SUV and asked everyone to get in.

The next few days will be spent on the journey.

Fortunately, the few of them did not encounter any force majeure natural disasters again. As for zombies, they were no longer a threat in their eyes.

They walked and stopped like this, killing zombies and searching for supplies.

A few days later, the off-road vehicle finally entered the territory of H City.

"Have we entered H City?" Li Wanzhi asked as she watched the scenery receding outside the car window.

Lu Xinyi nodded and said, "We are back in H City. We will reach Taoyuan Village in more than an hour."

"I'm finally back!" Li Wanzhi was quite emotional. "It's been nearly two months since we left, right? Time flies so fast. Two months have passed in the blink of an eye."

“Who said it wasn’t?” Lu Xinyi responded.

Knowing that everyone was eager to return home, Qin Ju drove much faster after entering H City.

The journey that originally took more than an hour was shortened to just one hour by him.

As the scenes on both sides of the road became more and more familiar, everyone became more and more excited.

Until the SUV reached the familiar wall and saw the familiar banner at the entrance -

"Welcome to Taoyuan Village."

Lu Xinyi can use the remote control to manually control the opening and closing of the Taoyuan Village gate.

When the heavy door slowly opened, the SUV immediately drove in.

The road is still so familiar. The crops in the fields on both sides are growing particularly vigorously, and the scene is full of vitality as far as the eye can see.

Li Dashan was working in the fields with his men. When he heard the sound of a vehicle passing by, he stood up and turned to look.

When he saw the familiar black SUV, he couldn't help but be stunned. He thought he was seeing things and subconsciously rubbed his eyes.

Looking again, he saw the SUV was still in sight, and he immediately shouted happily, "It's the boss's car! The boss and his men are back!"

Immediately, other people in the field also looked over and saw the off-road vehicle.

"Yes, it's the boss's car! The boss and his men are really back!"

"Hurry, hurry, stop working and go back!"

For a moment, everyone stopped what they were doing, put down their farm tools, and hurried back.

As the SUV drove into the village, other people also noticed it. They quickly put down their work and followed the SUV all the way to the outside of the warehouse.

At the gate of the warehouse, Zhou Miao was checking accounts with Zhou Yan with an account book. Suddenly, they heard a vehicle horn, and the uncle and nephew subconsciously looked up.

Then, both of them were stunned.

It was not until the familiar SUV in front of them honked again that the uncle and nephew came back to their senses.

Then he quickly walked to the front of the car and looked at the people in the car with excitement.

"Boss, you're back!" Zhou Yan's voice was full of joy, and if you listened carefully you could hear a bit of tremor.

Lu Xinyi opened the car door and got out. She looked at the two of them with a smile on her face and said, "We're back."

"Great!" Zhou Miao came over and happily hugged Lu Xinyi's arm, "Boss, you guys are finally back! I missed you so much!"

She looked at Zhou Miao helplessly, but did not push her away, allowing her to hold her arms.

Turning her gaze to Zhou Yan, she said sincerely: "Teacher Zhou, thank you for your hard work during this period."

Zhou Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "Boss, you are too kind. I didn't do anything, so it can't be said that I worked hard."

As they were talking, other people arrived one after another and surrounded Lu Xinyi and the others, all looking at them excitedly.

"Boss, why didn't you send us a message before you came back? We could have gone to the village entrance to greet you!"

"Yes, Boss, we have to give you a grand welcome ceremony anyway!"

"Boss, you guys have been away for so long, have you encountered any danger outside?"

Facing everyone's chattering questions and seeing everyone's excitement and concern, Lu Xinyi couldn't help but smile brightly and said to everyone, "We're back."
