The Absolute Favorite in the Apocalyptic Rebirth

Lou Ling turned off the phone alarm and got up from the bed like a female ghost with her tousled hair.

Today is the weekend, without having class, it is rare to sleep in. She remembers she didn't set an alarm before going to bed, but... holding her mobile phone, Lou Ling pursed her lips, grabbed her messy hair back, and decided, let's get up.

After entering the bathroom to solve physical needs, brushing her teeth, and washing her face, Lou Ling changed into sports casual wear with sleeves, tied her hair, grabbed her wallet, opened the door, and went downstairs.

As soon as I arrived in the hall, I saw the person who had just returned from outside changing indoor slippers.

The man heard the sound and looked up, a handsome face like a gentleman who had come out of a comic, with bright eyebrows and starry eyes, a fair complexion, a clean temperament, and a gentle and clear smile, like a spring breeze. Although he was wearing black clothes, he seemed to have a transcendent temperament, clean and flawless and reminds Lou Ling of what her friend Lin Baobao told her that many girls in the school secretly call him a male god.

At this time, the male god changed in his indoor slippers, carrying the one bought outside in his hand, and said in a gentle voice: "Xiao Ling has gotten up, come over for breakfast."

(TL's note: Xiao in Chinese means 'little'. It can also be used in with a person's last name to call younger generation, so it's a kind of nickname. Or in this story, its a kind of intimate nickname)

Lou Ling glanced at him, her eyes darkened. She originally wanted to refuse, but later thought of the consequences of rejection, so she could only swallow and sat down at the dining table obediently. The male god himself was busy for her. But there is no sense of honor, only the creeps.

"What's wrong with Xiao Ling? You are in a daze early in the morning?"

A slender hand gently touched her face, and the fingertips slid across her lips. Lou Ling's body became stiff, her face turned aside, and she barely smiled:

"Nothing, brother, why did you get up so early?"

After a pause, to prevent him from getting close to her, she said hurriedly: "You shouldn't have breakfast either. Let's eat together." Seeing his dress, it seems that he hasn't returned for another night. Look, dark circles are found. Although I didn't know why he hasn't come home at night, he is a big man, and she is lazy to ask.

Lou Dian glanced at her and sat beside her with a smile, shoulders next to her. Lou Ling's eyes twitched as if she hadn't seen it.

Breakfast is very common soy milk fritters and xiaolongbao. Lou Ling took a bite of the xiaolongbao and found that it was made by his favorite shop at the Laojie intersection. The steamed buns are thin and have a special taste. It is very delicious. If she is in class, she likes to order a set of xiaolongbao with gruel and pickles for breakfast there. Eating the delicious xiaolongbao, feeling the hot and burning eyes of the man next to her, Lou Ling's hand holding the chopsticks tightened, feeling that if this continues, she will suffer from indigestion.

"It's important to eat more at a young age. Good health is very important." The clean male voice said softly.

His tone was so gentle, but his actions were very overbearing. Under his urgent and indisputable eyes, Lou Ling ate a set of steamed dumplings, a fried dough stick, and a bowl of soy milk, and she was very full. She always likes to eat 80% full, and her family knows her habits, but this month, for some reason, as long as she is at home, this man suddenly likes to stare at her every meal and ask her to eat every meal to be very full.

After eating breakfast, Lou Ling wiped her mouth with the dining tissue paper, and said to the man beside him: "Brother, I have class tomorrow morning, and I will go back to school first."

"There are classes? There is no arrangement on your class schedule." Lou Dian raised his eyebrows slightly.

Lou Ling knew that this man had a strong desire to control, and she probably remembered her class schedule more clearly than she did. She lied unchangingly, "I received a notice from the monitor in the group last night, and the class guide has changed the class temporarily."

Even if she has no class, she didn't want to stay at this home anymore, especially after this man has suddenly seen her with more and more burning eyes and seemingly provocative movements over the past month for some unknown reason. Lou Ling only feels creepy and can't wait to make her way. Now she is only fortunate that she in junior college and the school is a fifty-minute drive from home. For convenience, she and her classmates rented an apartment near the school.

"You don't have to go back, I will drive you to school tomorrow morning!" Lou Dian embraced her shoulders, as if he hadn't noticed her sudden stiffness, and said softly, "Be good, listen to your eldest brother."

After a long while, Lou Ling lost her gaze and nodded stiffly. After he let go of his hand, she quickly grabbed a side wallet and said, "I made an appointment with my classmates to go shopping. I will come back later."

Lou Dian did not stop this time. He rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, while clearing the table, and said: "Well, I heard that the law and order have been bad recently, and cannibalism has happened in some places. You have to be careful. Come back early and I will cook dinner and wait. You come back to eat."

Even though Lou Ling had read the news about this horrible thing like eating people, she was too far away from herself through a screen, and there was no sense of crisis. She nodded, and after saying goodbye to him, she ran to the hallway to put on her shoes.

In fact, she didn't make an appointment with a classmate today, but she didn't want to stay at home with him. Who knows if he would come to her in front of her under any name? That's enough, even if there is no blood relationship, the hukou (TL: household registration) is still a brother-sister relationship! Every time he leaned over and saw that face, she felt that she was sorry for the dead father Lou.

Lou Ling was not originally named Lou. Her mother remarried. After she married Lou's family with her, she followed her stepfather Lou Ran's surname and changed her name to Lou Ling.

The stepfather Lou Ran was a handsome but slender man. His original wife was not in good health. After giving birth Lou Dian, she died and he remained single until she met her mother. My mother is a nurse, and their acquaintance is very common. When Lou Dian was ten years old, he was sick and was hospitalized. Her mother was the nurse who took care of him. He came and went. Lou Ran and her mother looked at each other. After Lou Dian was discharged from the hospital, the two had reached the point where they were talking about marriage.

Lou Ling remembers that when she first saw Lou Dian, the two parents decided to form a family and let the children get familiar with each other. The meeting place was in a high-end restaurant, and both parties were dressed very formally. The tomboy Lou Ling was beaten by her mother a few times and forced to wear a pink lace dress and a pair of cute pink princess sandals. The tanned skin and short haircut like a boy, and then put on a princess dress, it was like a little boy stealing a girl's clothes. In her eyes, it was very ridiculous. However, the mother beat her ass a few more times, barely maintaining the quietness that a girl should have, and wanted to impress the future stepfather and stepbrother.

When I saw Lou Dian for the first time, Lou Ling thought she saw an angel, a slender and white thirteen-year-old boy wearing a white suit, sitting there quietly, leaving thick and colorful strokes. Lou Ling almost thought at that time, the boy was a beautiful, quiet but fragile and delicate girl.

Of course, what happened later let Lou Ling knew what it means to be an angel and an instant incarnation of a devil. When Lou's father introduced Lou Ling's mother and daughter to his only son, Lou Dian suddenly raised the table to express his opposition to the marriage.

Later, she moved into Lou's house with her mother, Lou Dian's endless pranks made her understand the man's standard angel face and devil's heart. However, Lou Ling felt that she was a dog's tail grass with tenacious vitality, and she remained motionless as the bear child with Secondary Two Disease tossed, and also because there was an additional bear child with Secondary Two Disease in her family. She did not suffer from the secondary disease, which is also thanks to the many years of tosses and blows from Lou Dian.

In fact, she knew that Lou Dian would oppose his father's remarriage at first because of his insecurity. In her mother's words, this is too fragile for father and son's vitality, they need someone with strong vitality to take care of. Therefore, Lou Ran, who is handsome and fragile, will be attracted by her mother's strong and optimistic personality, and he wants to form another family. And Lou Dian had no mother since he was a child, and his father was busy with work, which caused him to have an insecure and sensitive temperament. He has always depended on his father for life, and suddenly one day, a woman appeared to rob his father who depended on him for life. Only then did he object so fiercely.

Walking on the lively street, Lou Ling looked at the led billboard above the central square of the City. She couldn't help sighing and scratching her hair in annoyance. She really didn't know how it became like this later.

Lou Dian used to be like a bear kid suffering from secondary disease, taking pleasure in bullying her step-sister, but I don't know when, the fragile and slender Lou Dian suddenly grew up, with the demeanor of being a brother. This made her extremely happy, even if she was a tomboy, she still wanted an older brother whom she could rely on in her heart. But since when did Lou Dian look at her more strangely, until a month ago when she came home on the weekend, Lou Dian suddenly hugged her tightly, and then showed her affection for her, that kind of undisguised. It's already obvious, the terrifying look in his eyes that can't wait to strip her and eat her is even more shocking, and she almost didn't want to return home.

It seems that in the year she was in high school, after both her stepfather and mother died in a car accident, Lou Dian had taken over the responsibility of supporting the family. After taking over the company left by his stepfather, he began to force himself to grow.

He has a different feeling for her as his stepsister. Although they are not related by blood, they are indeed brothers and sisters, and Lou Dian's twisted and strong feelings made her feel her scalp was numb, and she didn't know what to do.

Thinking of this, Lou Ling sighed and decided to go home less in the future. After graduation, I went to find a job in a southern coastal city, and when Lou Dian got married only then will she go back.
