'Knock knock knock'

Just as Gu Shan was about to say something, there was a loud knock on the door.

At the same time, a male voice rang out, "Captain Gu, the base commander is looking for you!"

Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing exchanged a glance; it was the same person who had inspected their car earlier.

Gu Shan frowned, forced to abandon his plan to continue trying to win over Jiang Nian'an and the other person, and got up to say goodbye and leave.

"What does the base commander want with me?"

Gu Shan's voice came from the hallway, asking Xu Yiran.

"A small team has discovered a strange creature over at White Tiger Mountain..."

This piqued Jiang Nian'an's interest, and she quickly slipped behind the door, pressing her ear against it.

Gu Shan's voice was tinged with doubt, "Strange creature? Tell me more."

Jiang Nian'an, who was leaning against the door, nodded repeatedly.

She also wanted to know exactly what it looked like.

"It is over a meter long, covered in long white fur, and has wings on its back..."

Most surprisingly, this creature had the head of an eagle but the body of a bat.

A look of confusion flashed in Jiang Nian'an's eyes.

An eagle's head and a bat's body? What kind of creature is that?

"Let's go talk to the base commander first."

Gu Shan and his group's voices gradually faded into the corridor.

Jiang Nian'an leaned against the door, the image of the slender creature she had encountered earlier flashing through her mind, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

How she felt...

The mutated creatures of this generation seem to be developing in a strange direction?

Shen Nanxing watched Jiang Nian'an, whose expression constantly shifted—sometimes frowning, sometimes amazed, sometimes confused—and found it amusing. He couldn't help but call out to her, "An'an~"

"Um?"

Jiang Nian'an snapped out of her daze and strode towards Shen Nanxing.

As soon as she got close, Shen Nanxing reached out and pulled her into his arms, his hands firmly clasped around her waist.

Although they had already expressed their feelings for each other, this kind of intimacy, unique to lovers, still made Jiang Nian'an blush.

She gently struggled, "Lunch is only half done, I'll go cook first."

"No rush, let's hug one more time."

Shen Nanxing didn't let go, and whispered softly in her ear.

The warm breath sprayed on Jiang Nian'an's neck, making her feel a little itchy, and she couldn't help but shrink back.

She was completely enveloped in Shen Nanxing's embrace.

Shen Nanxing looked at her flushed face, his eyes deep as the sea, filled with intense possessiveness and undisguised love.

His throat bobbed; he really wanted to kiss her, but he was afraid Jiang Nian'an would think he was frivolous.

In the end, I held back.

The two hugged quietly for a while before Shen Nanxing let go of her and suggested that they cook in the living room.

That way, he can sit aside and help out, instead of her having to work hard in the kitchen all by herself.

Jiang Nian'an initially wanted to refuse him.

After all, it was already quite late.

She planned to cook the soup in the kitchen first, and then order some takeout to make up the difference.

But in the end, she was defeated by Shen Nanxing's lonely and pitiful eyes and decided to cook with him in the living room.

"Brother Chen, cut this carrot, then throw the carrot chunks and corn pieces into the soup to cook."

"Brother Chen, peel those two potatoes."

"Brother Chen, add a spoonful of salt to the soup pot."

While quickly stir-frying the vegetables in the pot, Jiang Nian'an directed Shen Nanxing to do the work.

Half an hour later, with the help of the two of them, they finally managed to have lunch just before afternoon tea time.

At the dinner table, Jiang Nian'an belatedly asked Yunhua and the other person, "By the way, where did Second Brother and Third Brother go?"

Shen Nanxing was serving Jiang Nian'an ribs when he heard this and said, "They went out to kill zombies."

Jiang Nian'an originally wanted to say that she would go tomorrow, but when she thought of the injury on Shen Nanxing's back, she gave up.

The base wasn't entirely safe either, and she wasn't comfortable leaving Shen Nanxing alone there.

After the meal, Jiang Nian'an sent Shen Nanxing back to his room to rest.

Resting more is beneficial for wound healing.

Shen Nanxing, who had barely rested since falling to the ground, was indeed starting to feel the strain.

But he still held onto Jiang Nian'an's hand stubbornly, without saying a word, just staring at her longingly.

"what?"

Jiang Nian'an smiled and half-squatted by the bedside, "Do you want me to lull you to sleep?"

"May I?"

Shen Nanxing's eyes brightened, and with a gentle push of his elbow, he was already lying in the middle of the bed.

He patted the seat next to him and said, "Come on!"

He just wanted to stay close to her, look at her, and be with her all the time.

Jiang Nian'an smiled, picked up a pillow to use as a backrest, and sat down next to him, leaning against it.

Shen Nanxing lay on his side, holding her hands tightly, then smiled contentedly, closed his eyes, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

After he fell into a deep sleep, Jiang Nian'an carefully withdrew her hand, got up quietly, and quickly walked back to the living room.

She threw the dishes on the table into the dishwasher in the room, and then threw their dirty clothes into the washing machine.

Just as I was about to sit down and grab a dessert to enjoy a lovely afternoon, I heard Little Purple's chirping outside the door.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Jiang Nian'an's eyes.

This little guy sneaked out to play early this morning and was gone for most of the day, but he finally came back.

She walked to the door, opened it for Xiao Zi, and pretended to be angry, "You still know how to come back?"

Little Purple nodded very honestly; of course it knew it had to come back.

Jiang Nian'an was so angry she laughed.

"Hurry, I see it going up to the sixth floor!"

Suddenly, a commotion and hurried footsteps came from downstairs.

Hearing the commotion, Xiao Zi rushed into the house in a flash and then slammed the door shut with her vine tail.
