I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse - Chapter 162

162 The Giant Brick-Moving Machine

The two of them were originally standing face-to-face, but Du Yue had taken a few steps back before taking the gift. At that moment, there was a square cabinet shining with silver light between the two of them. The cabinet was 1.8 meters long, 1.2 meters wide, and 60 centimeters thick. “What’s this for?” He Xing looked at the item in front of him, his eyes full of doubt.

Du Yue raised her eyebrows. “You can’t guess, can you? I specially asked Captain Zuo to help me order this. This thing is heavy and sturdy. It’s a super-large brick-moving machine. If you use it to smash a wild boar, it’ll be smashed into mincemeat.”

Du Yue said as she opened the lid to show He Xing. As the lid was opened, He Xing saw what was inside. “I put a lot of your favorite foods in here. There are rice noodles, hot and sour noodles, instant noodles, conch powder, and self-heating mini hotpot. There are also biscuits, bread, compressed biscuits, canned food, milk, and drinks of various flavors. Not to forget, there are also pork jerky, dried squid, air-dried duck neck, vacuum-packed pig trotters, and many others. Although I’m confident that I’ll always be by your side and won’t let you go hungry, I still want to give them to you just in case.”

“So, you’re giving it to me because you want me to use it to smash wild boars and come back to make dumplings?” He Xing burst out laughing.

!!
“That’s not it!” Du Yue rolled her eyes at He Xing. “Although it’s heavy, it’s hollow inside and has been specially treated. The lid can be opened easily.”

After Du Yue finished speaking, she even raised her eyebrows at him. What she said was exactly what He Xing had said to her earlier. It could be said that she had learned it on the spot. “He Xing, I’m—” Before Du Yue could finish her sentence, He Xing had already walked around the huge brick-moving machine, walked up to her, and hugged her tightly.

“Du Yue, I really like this gift. Thank you.” Du Yue was at a loss as to what to do when she was suddenly enveloped by a man’s aura. This was the first time the two of them had hugged. She was a little flustered, not knowing where to put her hands. However, she only panicked for a short while before she wrapped her arms around He Xing’s waist. She leaned her head against his warm chest and said, Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I won’t let you go hungry!”

After Du Yue said this, she could not help but laugh. When young couples confessed to each other, they would always say things like ‘I love you forever, I will never let you cry’. Why did it become ‘I will never let you go hungry’? As expected, after being with He Xing for so long, her emotional intelligence had also dropped.

Du Yue laughed for a while, but He Xing did not respond. Du Yue was a little puzzled. Just as she was about to break free from his arms to see what was wrong with him, He Xing let go of her. Then, he pinched her face with his slender fingers. He did it quite forcefully. Du Yue asked him angrily, “Why are you using so much force?!”

He Xing’s lips curled into a smile. His eyes were filled with longing, and he even deliberately squeezed his hand hard. “You’re already in your 20s, but your face is still chubby like a little kid’s. I’ve long wanted to pinch it to know what it feels like, and today, I finally got my wish.”

Du Yue asked him with a smile, “How does it feel to pinch it?”

“It’s soft and tender, just like the pudding you gave me before. It’s a little like…” He Xing wanted to say something but stopped, his eyes looking a little troubled.

Du Yue could not help but urge him. “Don’t keep me in suspense. What does it look like?”

He Xing swallowed and said hesitantly, “It’s like a steamed bun.”

Du Yue was petrified when she heard the answer. For a moment, she could not tell if He Xing was joking or being serious. Besides, why did he swallow his saliva?

While Du Yue was still in a daze, He Xing quickly let go of her hand and pointed at the giant brick-moving machine on the ground. “Are you planning to make me carry it out of the house in the future?”

Du Yue glared at him. “If you don’t think it’s too heavy, that’s fine! “Despite saying that, Du Yue closed the lid again and said, “Once the lid is closed, it’ll become a weapon. You can try to put it in your interspace.”

He Xing stopped smiling and nodded seriously. He tried to put the huge brick-moving machine into his interspace. He did not expect… to really be able to put it in! He Xing and Du Yue looked at each other in surprise when they saw that the place where the giant brick-moving machine had been placed was now empty. The joy in their eyes was obvious.
