When Chen Wan woke up again, Yang Yang and Jiang Yanxin were still asleep.
She glanced over at the small dining area, where Qin Ke was still sleeping as well.
Finally having a moment to rest, Chen Wan felt bored and decided to take out a few books that Jiang Yanxin had wanted to read earlier.
She picked up one titled “Transforming into the Scum A in a Campus Novel” and began to read.
The more she read, the more engrossed she became, to the point that she didn’t even notice when Jiang Yanxin woke up.
Seeing that Yang Yang was still asleep, Jiang Yanxin noticed that Chen Wan had already started reading casually.
She wanted to read too but didn’t want to hold the book up.
After thinking for a moment, her eyes lit up.
She carefully got up and gently moved Yang Yang to the inner side of the bed.
Chen Wan was engrossed in an exciting part of the story.
She only glanced at Jiang Yanxin, not understanding what she was up to, and didn’t pay much attention until she felt someone sitting next to her.
Turning her head, she saw Jiang Yanxin was now very close to her.
“Why did you come over?”
Chen Wan’s usually agile body felt a bit stiff at that moment.
She didn’t know why she wasn’t afraid of the terrifying zombies but felt a bit scared of Jiang Yanxin.
Seeing Chen Wan’s wary expression, Jiang Yanxin found it amusing.
She leaned closer and said with a light laugh, “Why can’t I come over, my wife?”
Chen Wan’s ears instantly turned red at the term “wife.”
Jiang Yanxin was so close that her warm breath brushed against Chen Wan’s face.
As a single dog, how could she handle this?
At that moment, Chen Wan completely forgot about her self-proclaimed identity as a straight woman and just lay there stiffly, not daring to move.
Noticing Chen Wan’s reaction, Jiang Yanxin’s smile widened.
She leaned against Chen Wan’s shoulder and felt the tension in her body.
With a light laugh, she patted Chen Wan’s shoulder, saying, “I’m not a tiger, so why are you so nervous? Relax your shoulders; otherwise, it won’t be comfortable to lean on.”
Jiang Yanxin leaned against Chen Wan’s shoulder, and they were even closer than before.
When Jiang Yanxin spoke, her warm breath brushed against Chen Wan’s neck, making her feel hot and a bit ticklish.
However, she obediently tried to relax, softening her body so that Jiang Yanxin could lean comfortably.
At the same time, Chen Wan didn’t forget to defend herself, saying, “I’m not nervous; it’s just that I’ve been lying down for too long, and my body feels a bit stiff.”
Jiang Yanxin’s lips curled into a slight smile as she teasingly replied, “Is that so? Do you want me to give you a massage? It will help you relax.”
Chen Wan immediately shook her head, “No, no, it’s fine now, right? I won’t trouble you.”
She hurriedly declined politely.
But Jiang Yanxin looked at Chen Wan with a smile, her tone softer than when she told stories to Yang Yang, “It’s not a trouble; isn’t it what a wife should do to help her wife?”
Chen Wan internally screamed for help; she just wanted to run away.
Seeing Chen Wan’s expression, Jiang Yanxin couldn’t hold back her laughter anymore and leaned against Chen Wan’s shoulder, chuckling.
She reached out and poked Chen Wan’s cheek, finally managing to stop laughing.
“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Where are you in the book? I haven’t read this one yet; let’s read it together again.”
Chen Wan felt her heart racing and tentatively suggested, “I’ve already read it. Why don’t you read it yourself, okay?”
She glanced at Jiang Yanxin’s expression.
Jiang Yanxin’s smile faded slightly as she firmly rejected, “No, holding the book is too tiring. You hold it for me, and we’ll read together.”
Chen Wan was refused and had no choice but to obediently open the first page, reading along with Jiang Yanxin.
Compared to Jiang Yanxin’s relaxed demeanor, Chen Wan couldn’t afford to let her guard down.
Even though they were just reading, Jiang Yanxin would occasionally shift positions in her embrace and discuss the plot with Chen Wan.
With them so close, Jiang Yanxin’s warm breath would hit Chen Wan’s neck, making her feel ticklish but not daring to move away.
Seeing Chen Wan’s obedient demeanor, Jiang Yanxin felt even happier.
She wanted to test Chen Wan’s limits, so she playfully covered the book that Chen Wan was holding with one hand and gently said, “I’m feeling a bit sleepy; can you accompany me for a little nap?”
As she spoke, she snuggled closer into Chen Wan’s embrace, finding a comfortable position and closing her eyes.
Chen Wan bit her lip, glancing at Jiang Yanxin, who showed no signs of getting up from her embrace.
She could only close her eyes and rest for a while as well.
But how could Chen Wan ignore the presence of someone in her arms?
Her thoughts felt uncontrollable, recalling the morning’s dangers one moment, and then the strange feelings she had when Jiang Yanxin snuggled against her the next.
She felt the warmth of Jiang Yanxin’s breath against her neck, and memories of a few days ago when Jiang Yanxin had sat on her lap in just her underwear flooded her mind.
Overall, her thoughts were a chaotic mess, and she could feel sweat forming on her forehead.
Just then, when Chen Wan slightly turned her head to look at Jiang Yanxin, she saw that Jiang Yanxin was completely relaxed, comfortably nestled in her embrace, creating a stark contrast to her own tense reaction.
Chen Wan sighed, feeling that the current situation was a bit strange.
Wasn’t she a straight woman?
Why was she having such odd reactions with Jiang Yanxin leaning against her?
Realizing what she was thinking, she was startled and quickly repeated in her mind that she was a straight woman.
Although it didn’t really help, it did somewhat distract her attention.
However, compared to Jiang Yanxin’s comfortable sleep, Chen Wan found it hard to fall asleep.
With Jiang Yanxin leaning on one side of her arm, she was afraid of disturbing Jiang Yanxin’s sleep, so she didn’t dare to continue reading the novel.
Instead, she started planning to drive on the highway early the next morning to see if she could find ten heavy trucks.
She wanted to upgrade the RV to level two as soon as possible, which would provide protection for everyone inside.
Thinking about these things, Chen Wan inquired in detail with the system.
Since the RV currently didn’t have mechanical arms, every absorption required contact with all the vehicles.
Whether it was front to back or side to side, they had to be close to other vehicles.
Thus, with ten heavy trucks and a hundred ordinary cars, either directly or indirectly connected to the RV, the upgrade could proceed smoothly.
Chen Wan thought that tomorrow’s task wouldn’t be that simple.
After a long time of overthinking, she noticed that it was already past five in the afternoon.
Jiang Yanxin stirred in her arms, rubbed her eyes, and woke up.
Seeing that Chen Wan was still lying still like before, with her arm straight out and not wrapping around her waist, Jiang Yanxin couldn’t help but feel amused.
This new version of Chen Wan was too serious; she had actually let herself simply lean against her and sleep for an entire afternoon.
In fact, Jiang Yanxin had also thought about many things over the past few days, from escaping with Chen Wan from Zhang Qiang to hiding a fruit knife with a sheath in that mall, all to protect herself from Chen Wan.
Later, Chen Wan returned to bring her and Yang Yang to this RV and explained the situation about it.
Throughout their time in the hospital and even earlier at the police station, Chen Wan had been protective of her but also encouraged her to learn how to fight zombies on her own.
Chen Wan would seriously consider her opinions, and in truth, Jiang Yanxin had long since let go of any so-called wariness towards Chen Wan.
After all, with Chen Wan’s strength, it was impossible for either herself or Yang Yang to resist whatever she wanted to do.
For these reasons, Jiang Yanxin found it quite amusing that she had hidden a fruit knife under her pillow.
It was clear that she was overthinking things; the current situation likely meant that Chen Wan had no ulterior motives, while she herself had developed some feelings for Chen Wan.
Firstly, she didn’t need to be wary of Chen Wan.
This new version of Chen Wan was remarkably straightforward, blushing easily when teased.
The last time she mistakenly sat on Chen Wan’s lap, it was Chen Wan who looked like she had been taken advantage of.
Secondly, she thought that the current Chen Wan was quite wonderful, treating both her and Yang Yang well, and she had the ability to protect them.
Thirdly, Chen Wan was very different from those alphas with power or influence.
In this post-apocalyptic world, alphas with a bit of authority were either like Zhang Qiang, who wore their villainy on their faces and surrounded themselves with a horde of Omegas for amusement, or they were hypocrites who pretended to save people while actually keeping plenty of Omegas around for their own entertainment.
In contrast, Chen Wan, who maintained her integrity, was a breath of fresh air.
Jiang Yanxin thought that if she and Yang Yang could stay by Chen Wan’s side, it would be the best choice for them, as long as Chen Wan didn’t develop feelings for someone else.
On this point, Jiang Yanxin wasn’t too worried.
After all, she was the one spending every day with Chen Wan, making it unlikely for Chen Wan to fall for anyone else.
However, this new version of Chen Wan seemed a bit oblivious, or perhaps uninterested in romantic matters?
Jiang Yanxin didn’t plan to push things too far, fearing that she might scare Chen Wan away.
She intended to take it slow, like now, with gentle hugs and cuddles, gradually closing the distance.
Eventually, Chen Wan would have nowhere to run, especially with her adorable Yang Yang by her side, which boosted Jiang Yanxin’s confidence.
In a good mood, she buried herself in Chen Wan’s embrace, pretending to be half-asleep, her voice muffled and a bit spoiled, “Aren’t you going to keep sleeping?”
Chen Wan’s throat felt dry; how could she sleep?
“No, I’m not sleepy anymore.”
Chen Wan’s tone was relatively normal, but her ears were already flushed from Jiang Yanxin’s earlier teasing.
She was just trying to act as if nothing had happened.
Yet, Jiang Yanxin didn’t pull away; instead, she lifted her face slightly, revealing her misty eyes as she looked at Chen Wan, only to notice Chen Wan’s red ears.
Jiang Yanxin stared at Chen Wan’s ears for a few moments, suppressing the urge to reach out and touch them.
She was afraid that moving too quickly would scare Chen Wan, so she decided to take it slow.
At least now, she could lie in Chen Wan’s arms and sleep.
Chen Wan felt her ears heat up even more under Jiang Yanxin’s gaze, and her face was burning as well.
She wanted to escape but was afraid of hurting Jiang Yanxin with her strength, so she held back.
Just then, Yang Yang, who had been sleeping all afternoon, rolled over and slowly woke up.
Rubbing her eyes, she met her Mommy’s gaze and immediately sensed that something was off.
Seeing Chen Wan looking at Yang Yang, Jiang Yanxin followed her gaze and noticed that Yang Yang was also looking at them.
Surprised that Yang Yang had seen them, Jiang Yanxin cleared her throat and quickly sat up from Chen Wan’s embrace.
Yang Yang looked curiously at her Mommy, then at Mom, her gaze bouncing back and forth between the two.
Finally, she clapped her little hands and exclaimed, “Ah!” as if she had figured something out, looking particularly excited.
Chen Wan and Jiang Yanxin exchanged a knowing glance, both puzzled about what Yang Yang was so excited about, and turned their attention back to her.
Yang Yang clasped her little hands together, looking at Chen Wan and Jiang Yanxin.
“Wait a minute, I was sleeping between Mom and Mommy just now.
How did Mom end up in the middle?”
She tilted her little head in confusion, her big eyes darting between her Mom and Mommy.
Chen Wan almost burst out laughing.
How else could Yang Yang have ended up on the side?
Of course, it was because her Mom had carried her over.
But Chen Wan didn’t dare to speak, waiting for Jiang Yanxin to explain.
By this time, Jiang Yanxin had regained her composure and seriously explained to Yang Yang, “You were the one who couldn’t stay still while sleeping and rolled over from Mom Mom had no choice but to let you sleep in the middle and even covered you with a little blanket, right?”
Yang Yang looked down at the little blanket on her legs, nodding slightly.
She felt something was off but couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong with Mom’s explanation.
Her little hands anxiously tugged at her short hair as she thought for a long time but still couldn’t figure it out.
Finally, Yang Yang asked, “Mommy, did I roll over while I was sleeping?”
Seeing that Yang Yang still had questions, Jiang Yanxin continued to reassure her, “Yes, even though you were asleep, those little legs of yours are quite strong.
You rolled right over from Mommy in one go.”
After hearing her Mom’s explanation, Yang Yang believed it this time.
She hadn’t realized she was so restless while sleeping that she could roll over from Mom.
Not wanting to think too much about it, Yang Yang decided that Mom was definitely right.
So, she leaned over to Jiang Yanxin to seek some affection.
Chen Wan nearly burst out laughing; her Yang Yang was just too easy to fool!
